A student council is made up wholly of the students. The purpose of the council is to promote the welfare of the school from every standpoint. The duties of a student council are to take care of the social life of the students, such as school socials, parties, and athletic contests. The council also takes care of the discipline and appearance of the student body. Student Councils have been carried on in colleges and high schools for many years. The high schools in neighboring towns have student councils and find them very beneficial. Many of the students of Pennell Institute already think that this would be a step toward SUCCESS for our school. Through this editorial we hope that this matter of a student council will come up before the faculty and trustees for serious consideration. Hortense CASWELL, '33. A MUCH NEEDED COURSE There is one subject which would be very interesting to have in our school. This is Domestic Science. Dy saying this we do not mean to ask that a large sum of money be laid out for equipment but ask to have it in a small degree. There are many essential things a girl can learn in this THE PEN NELL WHIRLPOOL cr subject, such as learning the values of foods, the buying of meats and the best methods of cooking various foods. A great many girls who graduate from high school are not financially able to go to more advanced schools, so thev are not able to receive instruc- tions in these essential things. The boys have a very good course in Agriculture, whereas the girls have nothing but the three R's. Let us hope that in the very near future our citizens will help us secure as good a chance for education in this subject as do the girls in other town high schools. V. К. W., '33. AN APPRECIATION Throughout all schools there are always some who endear themselves to the students by helping them through crises. The students appreciate this and will always remember such friends. Sometimes these people con- tribute generously to the various organizations in school; sometimes they carry boys and girls to baseball games: always they help in some practical way. Pennell Institute is fortunate in having a person like this in the town and the students appreciate him very much. A friend in need is a friend indeed. У.К. W., 33. THE BENEFITS OF A GYMNASIUM How would Pennell be benefited by a gymnasium? In the first place we all know that systematic exercise is essential in the development of both mind and body. If we are physically fit, we stand a much better chance at some time in the spring of winning a track meet. If we have a gymnasium we have more chance of training during the winter months so we shall be fit in the spring. We can have only such sports as cross-country, fall track, and baseball because fall and spring are the only seasons when we can prac- tice out-of-doors. We had no major sport this past winter—nothing with which to keep muscles hard. Consequently, when spring comes, we have so short a time to train that either we do not score at all or we score only a few points. We have good athletic material in the school, but we lack training facilities. A gymnasium would also be an aid to the girls. They would make much better progress in their spring track work if they had a place to play basketball all winter. Furthermore, a gymnasium with showers, a big hall, balcony, and an indoor track would increase the enrollment at Pennell, because people nat- urally prefer to send their boys and girls to a school with a gymnasium. Visiting athletes would also appreciate a gymnasium, would speak about it, and therefore spread the name of Pennell. $ THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL The students could also make use of the hall in the gymnasium for dances, socials, or any other school affairs. We hope that Pennell will grow larger and have a prominent place in the athletic contests of the schools, and we do believe that a great aid toward that would be a gymnasium. We should all work toward the goal of ob- taining for Pennell a gymnasium which she needs and deserves. 00 mb. OLD-FASHIONED RHETORICALS Years ago at Pennell Friday afternoon exercises were held each week during the school year in Assembly Hall. Students of the three lower classes took part. each one speaking at least twice during the thirty-six weeks. The seniors were excused from these rhetoricals, partly, I suppose. on account of their many duties as “dignified seniors, but mostly because they had learned all there was to know about public speaking. These exercises were always held the last two periods and were open to the public. In order that the same studies would not be omitted each week, there was an exchange of periods each time. That is, on the second Friday the first two periods of the afternoon were omitted and the last two were put in their place. Then, on the third Friday the last two of the forenoon were left out and the afternoon periods moved ahead. On the fourth Friday the first two in the morning were replaced by the two following. If rhetoricals were held every Friday afternoon, each pupil, including the seniors, would probably speak about once in every four weeks. A pro- gram of this sort, consisting of readings, songs, solos, and duets, would be of great benefit to all who took part. In the first place, pupils would be trained in speaking before the public, which training many young people lack. Also it would relieve the monotony of school hours; it would be something to look forward to. And, perhaps, pupils who do not enjoy performing before the public might develop a liking for such activities, which would be of help to them in later life; for we all know it is much easier to perform a task which we enjoy than one which is unpleasant. R. E. B., '35. 1762—Y E TOWNE OF GRAY—1932 The permanent settlement of the Plantation of New Boston was made in 1762. Previously two settlements had been made. The first was in 1739, when a clearing was made near the present M. C. К. К. depot. The planta- tion was surveyed and a few lots plotted. The second settlement was made about 1750. The earliest conveyance of land, given by the proprietors of a township, contained the following conditions, which were laid upon them and their heirs forever: “To do one-sixtieth part towards building a meet- inghouse for the public worship of God and settling а gospel minister, clearing all roads, building bridges and providing suitable instruction for the youth in said town. We do not know who braved the hardships of that first attempt to settle New Boston, as the records have long ago disappeared. In August, 1777, the inhabitants of New Boston petitioned for an act of incorporation, and on June 19, 1778, the town of Gray was incorporated, taking the name of one of the proprietors of New Doston, Thomas Gray. There were over sixty families in the town at this time, and it is said that about fifty men from Gray were in the army during some period of the Revolutionary War, many of these being honored for brave service. The old garrison house stood on the land of Captain Jonas Stevens, in charge of 8 THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL the artillery, and there he conducted target practice for the soldiers. Out of this ground have been plowed many buckshot and other missiles which were mistakenly supposed by some to have heen fired by the Indians. The oldest farmhouse in Gray, said to be about 200 years old, is the one formerly occupied by George R. Doughty. It was built by the Reverend Nathan Merrill, and in this house the first religious service of the Free Will Baptist Church was held. In 1772 Daniel Libby, one of the first settlers, donated land for a meetinghouse, a burying ground, and the land where the Town Hall now stands. The mectinghouse was also used for town meetings. The first business of the town was started at North Gray about 1750. This was a proprietors’ saw and grist mill, the owners of which lived in loston. About 1776 Jabez Matthews came from Massachusetts and bought the mill, which was later called Webster's Mills. A post office was located there, also a pottery. A doctor was among the settlers there. One of the prominent men of the town, Esquire McClellan, lived there, and built near the foot of the hill a large two-story house which was afterwards owned by the Mayalls. In 1800 the first woolen mill in the United States was built at North Gray by Samuel Mayall, who came here from England for this purpose. At that time the English were bitterly opposed to manufacturing in this country, and tried to prevent Mr. Mayall from carrying on his business, but he was so wary that they did not frustrate his plans. Both the first mill, a wooden building, and the brick buildings which succeeded it, were partially burned several years ago, but the ruins are still visible. In 1871 or 181? the manufacture of metallic studded sleighs was begun by Smith and Cobb at South Gray in the old tavern. This business was car- ried on successfully for several years, and gave employment to many men. These sleighs were invented by Mr. Hugh Smith. One of the most widely known people of Gray, Simon Greenleaf, who first practiced law here, later became recognized as one of the ablest of jurists. The Greenleaf Law Library in Portland was named in his honor. Dr. William Warren Greene began the practice of medicine in Gray, and later became one of the most skillful and best known surgeons in the United States. The inventor of the buttonhole machine was a grandson of Daniel Greene, one of the leading men in the business world. Among men whose ancestors had a large part in making the history of Gray are Charles Deering of Chicago, of the Deering Harvester Company, and Cyrus 11. К. Curtis, a descendant of Joseph Cummings of this town. ]t seems a matter of some wonder that the village of Gray should have been located where it is instead of in a part of the town where there is water power, but the reason appears to be that this is the natural center of the town and also of a large surrounding territory. In the time of stage THR PENNE OM Б INO PO WE 9 coaches, all eame through Gray from Paris, Augusta, Portland, Bridgton, Alfred, and other places. In 1833 there were three taverns and three gro- сету stores here, and long trains of farmers came from Vermont and New Hampshire with loads of farm produce on their way to Portland. Gray was a central place for “musters.” political meetings, and con- ventions of all kinds, and here in the old church Neal Dow delivered his first speech for Prohibition. Today the village is mainly residential, and the business is almost wholly done by garages and filling stations. The generation is fast passing which remenibers the fireside stories of the grandmothers who told of days when bears were often seen and wolves howled at night in the lone woods. Young . merica of the Gray of a half century ago needed no Wild West shows or moving pictures to get thrills, for adventures with bears and other wild animals were frequently met. We well know that much of the success of our ancestors is due to the men of the families, and while we would give to them all due praise, vet we would not forget the share which the mothers bore in the hardships of those early days. Their loneliness in the wilderness, their anxiety in days of siek- ness, when no doctor could be had, their patience in trouble, and their cour- age, which knew no fear, should be held in everlasting remembrance in the hearts of their descendants. WARREN MANCHESTER, 33. WOODROW THOMAS WILSON If I were to tell you of the achievements of a great man at the begin- ning of our country 1 would tell you of Washington, but for a man of our present 20th Century, | choose Wilson. Woodrow Thomas Wilson, twenty-cighth president of the United States, was born at Staunton, Virginia, on December 2%, 1856, aud died at Washington, D. C., on February 3. 1924. Не was the son of Scotch- Irish parents, who had lived in Pennsylvania, Canada and Ohio. James Wilson, his paternal grandfather, emigrated from Ireland in 1807, When Wilson was about a усаг old his father, Rev. Joseph К. Wilson, became the pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Augusta, Georgia, where the family remained until 1870. Then Mr. Wilson moved to Columbia, South Caro- lina, where he was a professor in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Woodrow Wilson was prepared for college under a tutor. Пе attended Davidson College in Pennsylvania for a year, and spent a year in home study under his uncle. [n 18375 he entered Princeton University. During his four years of college life he excelled in debating а а public speaking. lle was unquestionably one of the most brilliant men of the class of 59, vet 10 HIP OP ENNE LL WHIRLPOOL he was only forty-second in honors. As a sideline during his college life he was editor of the college paper and manager of the baseball team, which is surprising in view of his great scholastic nature. After graduation he attended the University of Virginia to prepare for the greatest of southern careers—the Law. Tiring of his musty law books and dignilied pro- fessors, he left at mid-year, going home to Wilmington to prepare for his career as he wished. . t last Wilson decided that the fiery eloquence of the southern legal advocate was not for him, and he turned to literary fields. Пе began by writing Congressional Government in the United States та subject of great interest to him. This book was a success and was made the basis of his thesis at Johns Hopkins, where he secured his doctor's degree. In 1885 he was made professor of history at Bryn Mawr. Let us turn for a few moments to another angle of his life which was probably more to him than all the pomp and cireumstance which later were his due. In writing of Wilson's life it must be remembered that Wilson was a southern gentleman reared in a cultured home in the old South of history and romantic tradition, where family was everything and seldom did the son of the planter marry with the daughter of the poor white. Wil- son was received in the best southern families. In the course of human events he was visiting a certain Judge Hilyer of Rome, Georgia. While there he attended the Presbyterian Church and was much attracted by the daughter of the pastor, so much so that at his earliest opportunity he secured an introduction to her. This acquaintance continued into friendship and then into a love affair—all within a year. In 1883 the engagement was announced. In two years they were married and from this time on to her death Ellen Axton was the perfect wife. She justified the belief that her husband had judged wisely and well in the days of his youth. Returning again to his academic career, we find Wilson professor at Wesleyan, then at Princeton, and finally President of Princeton University. During his various professorships he had continued his literary endeavors and had made an enviable reputation for himself as a writer of histories. In 1910 he was summoned as the standard bearer of the New Jersey Democracy on a liberal platform. Пе was elected and carried out his cam- paign pledges by not only giving the state a fearless administration but restoring the progressive spirit of the past throughout the state. 1n. 1912, because of a break in the Republican party, he was nominated for the presi- dency and won the election. against Colonel Roosevelt and Мт. Тай. Through factional struggles he received the greatest electoral majority ever given a candidate for the office up to that time. One of his first steps after entering the presidency in March, 1913 was to have the present tariff low- ered from a general level of 45 to 25 per cent, and to have the free list THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 11 enlarged. He introduced the Federal Reserve Act. and approved the Clayton Anti-Trust and the Federal Income Tax laws. In 1914 the World War broke out. and Wilson did all in his power to keep the United States a neutral country. Because of his stand in this regard he was re-e'ected in 1916, but when Germany declared a blockade around England, France and Italy, he was forced to let the United States enter the War. He conducted the war with a vigor and persistence which was remarkable. It is a significant fact that, although the conduct of the war involved billions of dollars, no financial scandal has ever been raised against his administration. - fter the war had been brought to a success- ful close, Wilson attempted to formulate a plan to provide for outlawry of war but failed, partly through his own fau't and partly by the methods of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. He went to Europe, arriving there on December 14, 1918. While in Europe he prepared the Fourteen Points and the League of Nations. After a long, hard struggle the Treaty of Versailles was accepted by the European countries, but when he returned to the United States he was met hy bitter opposition and the League of Nations was repudiated. Не re- tired from office on March 4, 1921, broken in spirit and in body. Fle died an unhappy and disappointed man. HonTENsE CASWELL and LAWRENCE CARTER. THE IMITATORS “If [ were you,” advised Babs, Га ask Uncle Jack before I got mixed up in that boathouse business. “Азу, what's the use? exclaimed Jim. “The folks said we could go. Jim а а Babs were two of four playmates who were always together. They generally were known as the “lolly Four’—Robert Wagner, nick- named Bud, his sister, Barbara, called B abs for short, and the two Stuarts, Fred and Jim. As these four were cousins, Uncle Jack was really their uncle. Uncle Jack had many friends, but he liked the children best, and they all worshipped him. [le would always stop his work to listen to them. Babs continued, Yes, but they didn't know it was going to be a smoking matinee.” “Well, Dad smokes,” argued Bud, and we've got to begin sometime. Пе can't complain if we do as he does. Maybe you're right, Babs agreed. but it won't do any harm to ask Uncle Jack. Пе is square and he won't stop you from going. 12 THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL “That's true. too, put in Fred, so the Jolly Four made a bee line for Uncle Jack. They found him on the piazza reading the paper. What's on. your minds now 7 he asked, looking up. We came to ask your opinion, if you're not too busy, said red. Never too busy for a chat with my young friends, laughed Uncle Jack. Let's hear your problem and we'll see if we can solve it. We were going down to the Marston boathouse this afternoon to attend а ‘Smoker’ and Babs thought we ought to ask you about it, burst out Jim. “Is Babs invited?” asked Uncle Jack, trying to keep from smiling. “Of course not.” said Bud, disgustedly. “This is a stag affair,” added Jim. “It's no place for girls.” Why not?” argued Uncle Jack. “She doesn't object to tobacco smoke. does she?” No, replied Bud. Dad smokes when he's home. Just then a young man swaggered past, dressed flashily, with a cigar- ette hung in one corner of his mouth. Hello, fellows, he shouted. Hello, Bud shouted back. Who was that?” asked Uncle Jack. “He is the president of our club, said Jim. Does he always dress like that? asked Uncle Jack. That's the style,” answered Bud. “How does he stand in his classes? asked Uncle Jack. “He is a little behind in some studies, said Bud, hesitatingly. Do you think he would risk his life to save yours?” “No,” they all answered. Well, to get back to my first question. You don't want Babs to go to the ‘Smoker’ because you don't want her to associate with boys like the president of your club. Isn't that what it boils down to? Just then one of the club members called, “We're waiting for you guys. We're not coming today, thanks,” called Fred. “I hope I'm not interfering with your plans, said Uncle Jack. Don't worry, we can get along without that crowd,” replied Fred. “But say, spoke up Bud, “why don't you smoke? АН the important people do. “What have the big fellows or the little fellows got to do with you or me?” asked Uncle Jack. “Do you have to grow a wart on the end of your nose just because the mayor of your town has one? These important people are not successful because they smoke; nor smoke because they are successful. Isn't it barely possible that they might be much more success ful THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 13 if they didn't smoke?” asked Uncle Jack sarcastically. “Tobacco is a drug and the continued use of any drug is a sign of mental weakness. If you've got to be an imitator why not imitate the strong rather than the weak points of others? You will never gain the respect of any man by imitating his weak points. X man—a real man—whether he smokes or not—is always disgusted with the cheap little shrimp of a boy who tries to imitate his own had habits.” “But you haven't told us why you don't smoke, Uncle Jack, insisted Bud. Uncle Jack laughed. “That’s so, sure enough. Well, ГИ tell you. When I was a boy 1 didn't smoke for fear somebody might think I was trying to imitate my elders, and when I grew to be a man I didn't for fear somebody would think I was trying to imitate such a silly youngster as the president of your club. JAMES | Rost, 33. THE STRANGER Edward Hackett came into the dim kitchen, gray in the light of the winter dawn. Пе built the fire and began to prepare breakfast, thinking to help his wife, for she was going for a ‘Visit of two or three weeks with her aunt who was ailing and alone. Пе was just pouring the coffee when he heard Jeanne coming down- stairs. She hurried into the small kitchen with an air of authority. “Fow long has that coffee boiled? she asked. Long enough, Edward replied. During the breakfast hour Jeanne gave directions about the manage- ณา of the little farm in her absence. After breakfast she hastened to get ady, for she was going on an са у train, In the meantime Edward а her bags into the car and they were soon ready to start. As they rode along Jeanne sighed and said, “Oh! Edward, | meant to have you drive me over to John Humphrey's s to see if I could help them before I left. “His niece must be there by now, Edward suggested. “Poor John must miss Sarah terribly.” went o n Jeanne thought fully. When they reached the railway station there came upon her a momen- tary gentleness. “I hope everything'll be all right with you, Edward, she said, to her own surprise as much as her husband's. As she got into the train she thought of possible disaster to Edward hefore not return, perhaps even death, and she frowned at her own foolish- ness. But the train was whistling—there was no time for sentiment. “Good-bye, Edward,” was all she said when she boarded the train. Good-bye, Jeanne, he murmured, as he stared aíter her with a rather 14 THÉ PENNELL IPHIRLPOOL bewildered look. She was gone. He must go back to the little old farm alone. However, he did not go directly hack but lingered about the garage, and dropped in at the little hotel, so that it was half-past ten when he finally started for home. He drove off strangely troubled by the persistent fecling of being alone in spite of his saying over and over to himself that he was free. lle drove off at full speed telling himself that no one was going to be nagging him for a while. Of course, Edward mused, he thought a lot of Jeanne, and it would be dreadful if she didn't come back, but just at this moment he almost convinced himself that he was very happy. When he reached home the place seemed peaceful and quiet. The house was in good order. Jeanne was а good housekeeper. edward won- dered why women who were good housekeepers were so often sharp of speech. There was John Humphrey's wife. There was not a better house- keeper in town, but sometimes it was impossible for John to stay in the house with her. As Edward sat in the quiet kitchen he wondered if John missed his wife, who had died a week ago. Edward rocked and smoked and thought. He didn't seem to have any pep to go out and do up the morning work. He thought of how sweet and pretty Jeanne had been twenty years ago when he brought her to the little farm—the tiny baby, Edward, who had made them so happy in that one short year of his little life. Jeanne had never spoken crossly to her husband until one night after the baby was born she had said, Why don't you ever put anything where it belongs 7 just because he had left his hat and gloves on the table. Having spoken so once, she did it again and again. After this his life had seemed to change. Пе was unhappy and discontented so he had stayed by himself as much as possible. Edward Hackett was thinking of his bride of years ago. Those first days.—and then the days when little Edward was in her arms, when she was still gentle more often than she was harsh. When the child died grief did not soften her; it gave her a kind of hardness that bewildered her husband. Edward was aroused from his thoughts by a knock at the kitchen door. When he opened it, a woman stood there with a child in her arms. “Is this John Humphrey's house? she asked. No, the next place. It's about a half mile from here, he replied. “Oh!” she said. Edward asked her to come in and rest before starting, as the day was cold and raw. She had come from town that morning behind edward. She told him that she was John Humphrey's niece. Edward brought wood for the fire, then helped the visitor to remove her boots to dry them. Ile remembered that John had spoken well of his niece but had said nothing THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 15 about the baby. Certainly Jeanne had not known. He got some lunch and afterward the young woman helped him tidy up the small kitchen. Edward thought how strange it was that she should have come here today when Jeanne was gone, and that her presence and the looks of the baby should remind him so much of the old days. Edward could not help remarking about her mild, calm way. She smiled sweetly in reply, and as she did she scemed just like Jeanne—that Jeanne of those first days. Edward told the stranger how lovely his wife had been and how the years had changed her. The young woman only smiled wisely, and said she thought he'd have his real Jeanne baek before long. When she was ready to leave Edward offered to drive his strange guest on to John lumphrey’s. She refused at first but finally yielded. When they reached the Humphrey place she insisted on getting out at the drive- wav. She made no move to go toward the house, but stood there smiling. holding the baby close. As Edward drove off he looked back several times, wondering why she stood there, so still and smiling, so like his Jeanne of years ago, The whole afternoon he sat thinking of Jeanne, wondering if he and his wife could be happy again when she came back. Пе was pr eparing his supper when he heard a car in the driveway. Then he heard voices. He opened the door and there stood his wife and John Humphrey. Jeanne said that she didn't have to stay because her aunt was much better. John went back to his car and they were alone. “Edward,” said Jeanne, I couldn't stay. 1 wanted to come back. Life isn't any too long, anyway.” “Jeanne,” he cried, “something happened today which showed me that we can have life just as happy as it was twenty years ago. It’s all because John Humphrey's niece stopped here. Oh! wait a minute—I must ask John if she got over there all right with the baby.” He opened the kitchen door and called, “Humphrey, did your niece get there all right with the baby? 1 took her over as far as the driveway but she— What? shouted John, I guess not, I was home all afternoon and I didn't see anything of her. Jeanne opened the door and said, Edward, don't say any more. That wasn't his niece but an old friend of mine. She did it to open our eyes— don't you understand ?” HortENSE CASWELL, '33. THE VICTORY Yes, I am. My mind is made up and you can't budge it an inch,” said Aunt Sally. Justine Grover gazed at her aunt perplexedly in this large kitchen of the old New England farm. 22 = THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL Aunt Sally's sleeves were rolled high up on her brown arms, and she was making biscuits for supper. But, Aunt Sally.” wailed Justine, you can't. The faculty would never allow it, and besides, there is no place for you to stay in the college dormitory.” It's no use, Justine, I can't have you eating anything that new fangled man cook prepares. What do vou suppose a man knows about cooking? I am going, and that settles it!” Justine gazed at the tall, angular figure of Aunt Sally. It was impos- sible to make her understand, and Justine knew very little about college life. She had been awarded the scholarship. Her teacher had realized the unusual mind of the girl and had fitted her for her successful examinations and made a college course possible for her. For weeks the topic had been freely discussed among the neighbors, and the housewives declared it was no use to send men-folks to the store nowadays if they ever wanted to get anything. “It’s bad enough,” thought Justine, to have to register from a little country town without taking an aunt along to care for me. А hot flush colored her cheeks as she thought of the college life hazings about which she had read. But there was not much time to think during the next four days in the rush of packing, and besides, it had not been possible for Justine to move the set mind of Aunt Sally. Thus Aunt Sally and Justine stood bewildered and weary in the big noisy station of Bay City on September the third. As Justine stood, deaf to her aunt's many suggestions as to what they should do, а friendly-faced young woman approached. lor Redding's College? the stranger asked, with an amused smile on her face. Yes, murmured Justine, conscious for the first time in her life of the fit of her coat. ' Aunt Sally promptly took up the case. Yes, we are, and Justine is tired to death. Are vou the president? No, smiled the young woman as she led them to a taxi. It seemed queer to Justine that Aunt Sally would ride in a taxi, as she had never agreed to ride in an automobile back home. Aunt Sally drew a sigh of relief, though, as they stopped before a huge building. She followed the two girls and as they passed through the corridors there were titters of laughter from half-opened doors. Here is your roommate, Julie Marshall, the kind-faced woman said as she led Justine to her room. Er—er—would this lady like to be taken to a hotel?” “J guess not. I’m not going to leave Justine in the hands of strangers. I'm going to stay right with her. It was impossible to move the stubborn mind of Aunt Sally, although the dean tried to explain why it was impossible for her to stay. Finally the dean had to give in and ordered a cot to be placed in the room until they could see what could be done. ICE RENMIPLIICOWMIBZLPQOEG 1 = Aunt Sally lived around the college for two weeks and by that time she saw for herself it was no place for an old lady like her. Meanwhile the dean had become really attached to this set woman and had found a house just right for Aunt Sally and Justine near the college. Aunt Sally and Justine moved on Saturday and Aunt Sally busied herself in fixing up the house for Justine’s comfort. As Aunt Sally and her niece sat before the fireplace in the cosy living room a week later, Justine gave way to tears. “Why is it [ don't make friends with the girls, Aunt Sally? They are all nice enough but I am never asked anywhere. Aunt Sally comforted her the best she could and promised to see what she could do. On Justine’s birthday she invited more than thirty girls to a surprise party. At first some of the girls hesitated, but one glance at the pleading look on the stern old lady's face persuaded them. On the morning of Justine's birthday she had gone off to school feeling very glum over an argument with her aunt and when she came home at night she threw her coat and hat on the hall tree and started for her room. As she did a great shout greeted her and the girls rushed forth to wish her а happy birthday. Aunt Sally had baked her best cakes and made some delicious ice cream. Aunt Sally had told how beautiful Justine sang and the girls begged her to sing some of their college songs for them. When it was time for the girls to leave they hated to go. After this they came many times and there was hardly an evening that passed but that Justine had friends at home with her or went to some of the college affairs. Later Justine was voted the most popular girl in the college. Justine was happier than she had ever dreamed and Aunt Sally was content to pre- pare good things to cat for Justine's friends. to every one of whom she became dear Aunt Sally.” It was indeed the Victory of Aunt Sally. VioLA WINSLOW, 733. THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Transportation is dated from the beginning of time. It started when the little green insect floated across the Mississippi River on a fig leaf into the garden of Eden and took possession of the land and sea for the agri- cultural classes of Pennell Institute. These, the earliest men on earth, learned to propel themselves by use of their limbs and the powers of gravity and balance. Even Robinson Crusoe, whose great calamity forced him to do so, was obliged to consider this all-important question of transportation. His in- genuity caused him to invent the ark at the time of the great flood and to set it afloat by means of rollers and levers and so we all agree, that trans- portation started in the most primitive times. Е Transportation, like everything else, has been developed to provide the greatest amount of efficiency. А | Men started these developments by taking possession of their inferior 18 ТЕНЕ РЕМАЛЕГ WHIRLPOOL associates and animals were domesticated and slavery began to be practiced as the standard of man was raised to greater efficiency, as is always the result of development. Horses and cattle were domesticated at the earliest date, so “John Gil- pin's Ride was not the first attempt, at least, to tame the wild. Later on, however, even after John Gilpin had gone his way and the American con- tinent was being developed, the horse was a common means of transporta- tion. The farm er would carry his grain to the mill on the back of his faith- ful steed and on return would stop around by the mill and swap a portion of his corn meal for salt and then return home to develop the efficiency of his farm. On one such home-coming the farmer chanced to return home by the shore route and saw a white object on the water. A gigantic white fish, swimming on the water instead of in it. It was really the flagship, The Pinto, that Columbus was using to discover America. So the ship and ship- ping has heen developed as one of our greatest means of transportation. One of the persons who chanced to arrive with Columbus was a dis- tinguished member of the Chemistry Class at Pennell. Hle immediately set to work on the development of the locomotive and the railroad. Today we see the result of this attempt, for the country is bound together with a net- work of steel rails. Along with this remarkable invention there was discovered a means of transportation of sound. As the train left a certain station cannons were fired to warn the inhabitants at the next stop that the train was on the way that they might be on time. But the “old order changeth and give place to new and so the telegraph, telephone and radio have taken place in the development of the transportation of sound. But I must go on immediately for I am crowded rudely by Progress. who has just arrived in an airplane. the many motors of which so disturb my mental capacity that I cannot concentrate on the transportation by means of telegraph, telephone, and radio. The airplane, like all other means of transportation, was very primitive in origin and developed for greater efficiency. . The development of the air plane is probably the most important ques- tion at issue today. Starting with Darius Green's imitation of bird trans- portation, many developments have been observed and remain to be ob- served by means of television. This all-important means of transportation of sight or distant scenes to be observed in the future from the easy chair before the fire at night or to be seen from the office chair by day, along with development of the air- plane, remain to he developed by genius. So perhaps there is still a chance for our Chemistry Class to prove its laborious attempts to some advantage in the development of the modern means of transportation. ARTHUR HARMON, '33, ATHLETICS E‏ ہم e‏ =—=== BASEBALL, SPRING. 1931 Pennell’s baseball team had an unusually poor season this spring. as only one game was won and one game tied. Merle Foster and Maynard Dolloff were lost through graduation а а Vat Moore, our best pitcher, did not return to school. Undoubtedly the poor success of the team was due to lack of defensive ability. The infield was very weak and the batteries were weak at times. Dolloff, Leavitt, and К. Chase worked in the box and Frost was the only available catcher. Sawyer at first, Hancock at second, Carter at short, and Chase at th ird made up the regular infield. The outfield most commonly seen was as follows: Foster, rf, McPherson, cf, and Whitney, If. Mr. Diehl acted as coach and Arnold Tripp and Warren Cole were elected manager and assistant manager, respectively. Several practice games were plaved with the Alumni and with outside teams. The following games were played during the season: Other Schools Pennell April 17,1931 Standish at Pennell, 19 0 April 22, 1931 Pennell at New Gloucester, 11 T April 25, 1931.

Cross- country continued as the major sport but baseball was introduced for the benefit of those not taking part in Cross-Country. Mr. Joy, our Agriculture teacher, acted as coach and Chester Chase was chosen manager at a meeting of the boys interested in baseball. It is expected that this fall practice will be of great value to the new players who have not had actual playing experi- ence before, Games were arranged with Greely Institute, New Gloucester and Windham High Schools.

Caswell, THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 21 CROSS-COUNTRY, 1931 This year Pennell had a rather poor cross-country season as only two dual meets were won by the Pennell team. “Mike” Sawyer, our star runner and individual state champion of 1930, and John Hancock, captain, and Lewis Megquier were lost to the team. Sawyer and Capt. Hancock graduated and Megquier left school soon after the fall term began. Mr. Diehl continued as coach and Ruel Taylor and Howard Cole were clected manager and assistant manager, respectively. Harland McPherson was chosen captain by the lettermen. The first call for cross-country candidates was made soon after school began and only a very few reported. The squad was further reduced by several candidates withdrawing and at the end of the season only nine men were still out for practice. Sweat suits were pur- chased by the team and they were of much value when practicing and warm- ing up before races. The squad was composed of the following men: Capt. MePherson, Russell Chipman, Frank Whitney, Lawrence Carter, William Caswell, Carroll Leavitt, Warren Cole, Edison Doughty, George Muzzy. Those who received letters were Mgr. Taylor, Leavitt, Doughty and Whit- ney. Certificates were presented to Capt. McPherson, Chipman, Carter, Cole and Caswell. The Pennell team took part in the following meets: Sept. 25— Leavitt Institute at Pennell. Pennell 15, Leavitt 69. Oct. 2—Greely Institute, Freeport and Pennell at Greely.

Mr. Joy was to act as coach and Silas Foster was elected manager of the hockey team at a meeting of the Athletic Association. .Mthough we were not able to play any games we had skating during the months of January and February. RIFLE TEAM For the second time a rifle team was organized under the leadership of Mr. Diehl. А practice meet was held at the Y for the benefit of those not accustomed to the range. On March 26, a triple C meet was held at the Y. Freeport High took first place with a total of 216 points, Windham, second, scored 180 points and Pennell, third, with 176 points. The Pennell team was composed of Taylor, Webb and Doughty. Other schools partici- pating were: Scarboro, North Yarmouth Academy, Falmouth, Greely In- stitute and Cape Elizabeth. SWIMMING This winter for the first time. Pennell was represented at the Y swim- ming meet. The Pennell team finished last with only one point, but few of the boys had been in the water for several months. The meet was held March 8 at the Y.

ALUMNI ENTERTAINS SCHOOL On October 26th. the Alumni entertained the Pennell students in the Pennell auditorium, as has been the custom for several years. An interest- ing program was presented and Mrs. Day, of Gorham, a graduate of Pennell and representative to the State Legislature, was the speaker of the evening. Refreshments were served by members of the Alumni and a social followed. The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of boys studying vocational agriculture and was organized in this school April 14, 1930. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, The purposes of this organization are to promote Vocational Agricul- ture in high schools of America, to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations, to create and nurture a love of country life, to provide recreational and educational entertainment for Future Farmers of America, to promote thrift by membership through the establishment of savings accounts and investments in agriculture enterprises, to afford a medium of cooperation, buying and selling, to establish the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work, to promote scholarship and to develop local leadership. The officers are: president, Lawrence Carter, '33; vice-president, Howard Cole, 33; treasurer, Orin Whitney, '34: farm watchdog, Edward Webb, ‘84; conductor, Edison Doughty, 3-4; wisdom, 5 еу Tripp, '34; adviser, Mr. Darius Joy. Other members are: Russell Chipman, Arthur Harmon, Ruel Taylor, Frank Whitney. Our plans for the coming year: Father and Son Banquet, Deep Sea Fishing Trip, Minstrel Show, Camping Trip, Group Project. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Back Row, Left to Right; Lawrence Carter, Frank Whitney, Mr. Joy, Russell Chipman, Howard Cole. Front Row: Edward Webb, Orin Whitney, Lafayette Wallace, Edison Doughty, Arthur Harmon. 30 THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL The group project is to be one acre of Red Kidney Beans. This will be conducted by the members of the organization in conjunction. with our adviser. Our aim is to produce certified bean seed which we shall sell to local customers for planting purposes. The profits from this project will be used to conduct a similar project next year and for improvement in our organization, At the beginning of this school vear there were two changes in the Faculty. Mr. Neil Bishop, the agricultural teacher, was succeeded by Mr. Darius Joy. Mrs. Marion Callahan, French and English teacher, took the place of Miss Margaret Lancaster.

Evelyn Gallop is the treasurer and the money in the Fund comes from the small contributions of the student body. After school had been in session for a few weeks the girls met with Mrs. Callahan to discuss the formation of a glee club. Consequently, а club was started. This club meets every Thursd: ay night for an hour. There were 28 girls enrolled and they seemed to be interested in the club. The Sunday before Xmas the girls sang carols around the village to the old and the sick people. They sang at the Senior Drama, at the Alumni meeting, and they took part in the program when the musical concert was given.

THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL 31 A few money-making schemes of the school this year were: the sell- ing of seeds and magazines, and giving socials. This money is used for the diferent organizations of the school. On February 12, 1932, the Junior Class held their annual Prize Speak- ing Contest. The winners were: Viola Winslow, first prize; Hortense Caswell, second prize; Elinor Chipman and Harland McPherson, honor- able mention. These four persons will go to Windham to represent Pen- nell in the triangular speaking contest between Pennell, New Gloucester and Windham Ligh Schools on April 8th. The Freshman Reception, given this year to the entering class by the graduating class of 734, was the best for many years. This reception was given September 25, 1931. The Freshmen were welcomed into the school hy the Sophomores with great fervor. The Pennell Institute Drum and Bugle Corps was organized in the fall of 1929. It was formed for the purpose of accommodating those students who were interested in military music and also for those who might desire to continue the study of music further. When this activity was first intro- duced, there were fourteen members, including five drummers, eight buglers and a drum major. The drum section was instructed by Lew Barrett, a well-known direc- tor of drum and bugle corps, while the bugle section was trained by our principal, Mr. Diehl. The officers for the year 1931-32 are: President, Lawrence Carter; Secretary and Treasurer, Warren Cole. There are now eighteen members, including as drummers: Charles Tripp, Robert Merrill, Stanley Hayes, Wallace Cooper, Edward Webb, Frank Cooper and Warren Cole. The buglers are: James Frost, Edison Doughty, Glendon Cobb, James Wilkin- son, Arnold Tripp, Ruel Taylor, Silas Foster, Joseph . skey, Howard Cole and Harlan MacPherson. N Pennell Institute has been represented by the Drum Corps at. Wind- ham, New Gloucester, Portland, and at Gray, on such occasions às Memo- rial and Armistice Day. It has received favorable recognition and a prom- ising future is foreseen. On January 25th, Monday evening, the Pennell Institute. students entertained the alumni at the high school. We gave illustrations from the work of a few school courses. Some of the boys from the Agriculture classes gave a demonstration of milk testing, the Geometry class explained a proposition, and gave practical applications to show how Geometry may be used in everyday li fe, the Freshman Latin Class staged a short play, the Chemistry Class performed au experiment and the Senior l'rench Class presented in French two scenes from a play read this year. The program was completed by a spelling match between the Juniors and Sophomores, in which the Juniors were victorious. After refreshments were served the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. 32 THE PENNELL WHIRLPOOL During the month oi February the four classes of the school held a Washington Essay Contest. The prizes for the four best essays—one from each class—were facsimiles of the commission given by John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, to George Washington as Com- mander-in-Chief of the Army. The Contest closed February 19th. The essays were graded by a committee of townspeople, Mrs. Frank Merrill, Mr. George Hill, and Mrs. Carleton Katon. The certificates of award were granted to the following pupils: Ruth Barton, Freshman: Mary Sawyer, Sophomore: Elinor Chipman, Junior: and Harland McPherson, Senior. Interclass debating was carried on this year as a part of the regular English work. The Dates League subject for debate was: Resolved, That the Several States Should Enact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unemployment Insurance. On March 3rd, 10th and 17th the following were debated in Assembly by class representatives: March 3rd— Is Compulsory Unemployment Insurance Needed?” Affirmative, Lawrence Carter, Junior: Negative, Harlan MacPherson, Senior. March 10th— Is Compulsory Unemployment Insurance Practicable 7 Affirmative, George Muzzy, Freshman: Negative, Warren Cole, Sopho- more. March 1%th— Is Compulsory Unemployment Insurance Desirable? Affirmative, Lawrence Carter, Junior; Negative, Harland McPherson, At the end of the sccond debate (March 10) a vote was taken by the student body to decide which were the two best debaters. Lawrence Carter and Warren Cole were chosen and these two boys debated on the third question: “Is Compulsory Unemployment Insurance Desirable?” A final vote of the Student Body proclaimed Lawrence Carter the winner of the three Interclass Debates. Socials have heen held many times during this school year for the pupils of Pennell Institute. At these socials we have had games, dancing and cake walks. Refreshments are usually served at intermission. Mrs. Frank Merrill has made the parties successful by playing the piano for the games and dancing. These informal affairs have been very enjoyable, and, incidentally, some of the boys and girls who were dreading the Commence- ment Dance can now look forward to it with pleasure, due to the chances they have nad to practice dancing at the socials, The Pennell Institute Orchestra was this year reorganized under the direction of Principal Diehl. The purpose of this orchestra is to create among the students a greater interest in music, to give the musical students a better sense of rhythm and also to assist in the musical part of the pro- grams in our various entertainments. GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRA 34 THE PENNELL IFHIRLPOOL. The orchestra has played at several alumni meetings, at the Senior Drama, and on March 11th. was in a concert given by the three musical organizations of Pennell. The personnel of the orchestra includes the fol- lowing: piano, Elizabeth Whitney, Nancy Webb, Elinor Chipman, Mar- garet Loring: violin, Silas Foster, Audrey Segars; viola, George Muzzy; clarinet, Robert. Merrill, Mary Loring: drums and bells, Charles Tripp: trumpet, Ruel Taylor, Harland McPherson : Principal Diehl, director. On Monday, April 4th. two girls from Gorham Normal School spoke to the student hody and faculty of Pennell Institute on the benefits and courses of Gorham Normal School. The two girls were Ruby Severy and Loan Brackett, both of Gray. Mrs. Carleton Eaton of Gray, Maine, ћаѕ spoken twice in assembly to the student body and the faculty. The first time she spoke was on April 13th—about the use and the arrangement of a public library. The second topic about the libraries was how to use the books and what the librarian has to do. These talks have been very interesting and very instructive.
