A LY L 4 WF se 1 i ,f The first Kingston Academy, established in l773 and for many years the central point of educa- ' tion in the state and Alma Mater of a large proportion of the distinguished men of New York who ' flourished in the early Nineteenth Century. Young ladies were first allowed admission in l809.

Foreword As we consider the rapidly ending strife we realize that there will be a time when all will be calm, when the world will have re- gained its prewar composure and a new and more enduring peace will reign, As we look forward into the future, we can see that de- sired, hoped-for era coming into being, and when we do have the privilege of viewing that time, we should bear in mind that to provide for the future we must remember the past. With that idea prevailing, we have tried to bring back to you the treasures of this local- ity which we all tend to overlook in the course of our daily lives. We sincerely hope we have succeeded in reviving in your mind the relics and remembrances of the first settlers of Kingston, the Dutch of l67O. Four

This year, hampered by the many situations evolved from the present crisis, the Maroon staff has, nevertheless, brought to you a yearbook of which we hope you can be proud. But it is dubious, however, that we would have been able to fulfill your high expectations without the superbly cap- able supervision of Mrs. Partlan and the ex- pert business assistance of Mr. Vaughn. Also advising special activities were Miss Kirshen- blum, Miss Barnett, Mrs. Terpening and Mrs. Becker. The position of Editor-in-Chief was filled by Donald Sweeney, who chose Joseph Mag- nino as his assistant. The Organizations Edi- tor, Eleanor Elwyn performed her difficult job very capably as did the Activities Editor, Ro- berta Radell, and the Calendar Editor, Stella Levy. Marian Wilkinson, Beatrice DiFiore, Collette Magnusson, Eleanor Mearns, Laura Judd, Joan Lynch and Margaret Scholar, com- prising the Personalia Staff, adequately un- dertook the vast task of commenting on their fellow seniors. Boys' and Girls' Sports Editors, Gerald Perry and Angela McGowan respect- ively, are to be complimented for their effi- ciency. The Art Editors, Earle Terwilliger, Ar- thur Brown, and Mary Jane Lewis, can most certainly be proud of 'the superb art work which they have produced. Our Business Man- agers, Dorothy Muller and Hope Shaughnessy, proved their capability in business affairs with the accomplishment of the exceedingly difficult picture and financial problems. Gloria Smith, Ruth Levy, Annette Beaver, and Nancy North manifested their ability as ex- ceptional typists. Honorable Mention goes to all the girls who, though not on the Maroon staff, assisted us when we were in desperate need of typists. And finally, we extend our congratulations to Benjamin Short, presently in the Armed Forces, George Sagar and Ron- ald Lord, our photographers, for a job well done.
