THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL Ww MY FRIEN} I have a friend in my class If you happen to he Iste, Whom I wish that you might see, He’s sure you'll come toan awful fate, For he’s always throwing solids, And in his mind, I’m sure it is, Where they never ought to be. To send you over to the state. He has everybody snickering When he begins to talk. He nicknamed himself ‘Derby,’ And his seatmate he calls “Jock.” A. D., 24. THE CONTEST. The Curtis Publishing Company gave Pennell Institute a liberal offer to get a new basketball equipment. In order to obtain this, the school had to gain at least seventy-five subscriptions for the “Iadies’ Ilome Journal.” There were two teams, one “Red” and the other “Blue.” Kenneth Burns was Major of the Reds, and Eugene Sawyer was Major of the Blues. The Blues secured fifty, and the Reds forty-five subscribers. One week was allowed for taking subscriptions, and then the losing side, which was the Red, gave the Blues a generous treat of ice-cream, cake, and candy. SOPHOMORE SOCIAL. The class of 1925 gave a Hallowe’en Social at Pennell Institute, November 2, 1922. The program, which was very successfully carried out, consisted of a song by six girls in Hallowe'en costume. Then followed a farce entitled “The Haunted Gate.” which was cleverly staged. Nelson Winslow gave a piano solo, and Elazel Aldrich and Maynard Colley presented to the Freshman Class appropriate gifts, which produced much amusement. A social hour was enjoyed after- ward by everyone. An orchestra has been formed by several pupils of Pennell Institute, with Miss Wentworth as director. Violin, Maynard Colley: pianist, Isabelle Sawyer; Mandolins, Nelson Winslow, Theodore Muzzey, and Mary Wiggins; drum, Doris) Roberts; mandolin-harp, Dorothy Hancock.
