Efforts were made to secure a hall, but none were available. The townspeople do not appear to take much interest in our Winter athletics, or in helping us to get a gymnasium. Lorals The Curtis Publishing Company offered the students of Pennell Institute a way to earn some easy money for Athletics, by securing subscriptions to The Country Gentleman. The school was divided into three divisions: Spark Plugs, Barney Googles, and the Andy Gumps. The amount raised was sixty- three dollars ($63). The Barney Googles won the contest and were given a social by the two losing sides. The social was held Friday evening, October 10th. Some of the games were as follows: 100-yard dash, relay, cracker, newspaper, doughnut, aeroplane and suitcase races. Both boys and girls joined in the pillow fight. Refreshments were served and a dance followed.
