SCHOLASTIC BACKGROUND MR. WILLIAM I. PURNELL B.S. Kutztown State Teachers College P.O.D., World History, Senior Class Advisor. Because of the circumstances which usually bring a pupil and Mr. Purnell together for the first time, most students seem to fear having anything to do with Room 31. After having him as a teacher, however, they soon find that, except for his extra classes, he is one fo the wittiest, yet sincere, members of our faculty. Just like rnost parents, this father of two has teen-agers who like pop music and Elvis. His opinion of Elvis, as of all people he doesn't particularly like, is summed up in two words- no comment.
