14 THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL Athletics Pennell Institute faced the basket-ball season of 1922 with avery dubious outlook. Smith’s Hall. the only available place in which the sport could be played, needed considerable repair- ing before it could be placed in suitable condition for use. But, as the school seemed so enthusiastically inclined to have itself represented this winter by both a boys’ and a girls’ team, it did not take long to raise the sum of nearly $100 for the necessary repairs. The boys spent many hours of hard work under the super- vision of several capable citizens, who aided us greatly. At last the hall was ready and basket-ball practice began in earnest. The basket-ball games played by Pennell Institute for the season of 1922 are as follows: Pennell lost the first game of the season to Gorham High School by the score of 30 to 17. Our next game was with Bliss Business College at Gray, December 7. Pennell was finally defeated in the last ten min- utes of play, after a very close battle. The score was 24-21 in favor of Bliss. Pennell overwhelmed the Shamrock A. C. of Lewiston at Gray, December 14, the visitors securing only one floor goal. The final score was 60-2 in favor of the Institute team. New Gloucester, December 17. New Gloucester High School gave Pennell Institute its hardest battle of the season, Pennell nosing out a winner in the last minute of play. The game was fast and hotly contested throughout the forty minutes of playing. FINE TO LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. Tis fine to live in the country, Where you never have to look blue, Where the homes are very cozy, Because no rent comes due. CaS az:

THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 13 Later we reached California, where we found all the flowers in blossom and fields green with grass. My uncle had a large date orchard, and we hacf‘all the dates we wanted. We also visited orange groves and gathered grapefruit. People there think of apples as we do of oranges. On our way home we visited Washington, D. C. We saw the National Library, Washington Monument, Capitol and Museum there. In the museum were many skeletons of ani- mals and stuffed birds and the remains of an old Egyptian king.

Paul, the French shark, Entered U. of M. Neither to study French Nor to study Chemistry. Every time you see him and ask him how he Likes, “Lovely,” he'll exclaim, “everything goes well.” W.S.
