The Junior Class was obliged to take over the candy and paper - business. Beulah Leighton was elect d to sell candy,and Mildred Hayes was elected to sell paper. Much worry was brought upon Beulah when the Junior candy money vanished to some unknown source. Don't let it worry you,Beulah. From the first year of high school to the present moment,w e Juniors have had little love for the Annual Prize Speaking Contes. For this reason.a petition was drawn up.signed,and presented to the principal. We were later notified that there would be no compulsory prize speaking. The lack of interest of the student body was snow by thefact that obly two students in the whole school desired to take part in a contest. For this reason, Pennell had no prize speaking this year. On March ninth,the Juniors and Freshmen were engaged in an inter-class basketball game. Though small, the Freshmen made the Juniors do some high stepping,and the final score was Freshman 11,Juniors 18. Good work,Frosh! Baseball has not as yet made its appearance,but when it arrives,many Juniors intend to take a swing at it.(No pun intended) Those Juniors who are going to try for the team are: Ralph Sawyer, Walter Hinds,Everett Doughty,James Colley,Willis Hancock,Donald Pennell,and Harold Nason. Through our activities this year,we of the Junior Class have shown that we are able and willing to step into the position of grave and reverend seniors next year. W believe that we shall fill capably our added duties and responSibilitics next year. Everett Doughty

SOPHOMORE NOTES The Behrens Class started off the new year by having a class meeting. September 15,1937,class officers were elected... as follows: President Edward DeLorme Vice President Annie Thibodeau Secretary Betty Cooper Treasurer Madeline Merrill Class Adviser Mr. Richards At the same meeting,committees were selected for the Freshman REception; The committees were: program,Betty Cooper,Madeline Merrill,Annie Thibodeau,Helen Winslow;refreshments,Katherine Boyd, Dorothy Johnson, Beatrice Scribner;initiation,Laura Adams, Betty Biake, Edward DeLorme, Albert Skillings. The Reception went off very well,although the initiations wer heavily ‘restricted, thus making it a grand party for the Freshmen, Betty Cooper was mistress of ceremonies. She sang two solos,whih were both well received. Although the Freshmen were well watched by the:faculty,several of the unfortunate lads were taken for a one way ride. This arpused some excitement (for the teachers). In the extra currirular activities of the school,our class has taken an important part. ..... Some. of the boys tried out for the rifle team, but only one of the Sophomores, Clyde Cobb,went to Portland with the group for the rifle meet. ` Several of the girls from our class went to Portland to enter the Y.M.C.A. swimming meet. Our class is proud to mention,in fact,honorably mention, Al- mon Hall,who is the only Sophomore cn the boys! team. On the girls! team,we have several of the class beauties. WE wonder if they went out for the sport,or what! These players deserve men- tioning also;Shirley Frost,who could hold her own on the floor; Madeline Merrill,a hard-fighting,ball-catapaulting guard;Annie Thibodeau,a deshing gal,who played guard and forward alternately; and Bee Scribner,the spark of the whole team,who could play any position beautifully. . In cidsing,we must mention a few characteristics of the class We.:have been living up to the meaning of the word, sophomore véry well. The class is well known in assemblies, especially for its incessant whispering and giggling. Poor Mr. Richards works hard to get in his absent and tardy excuses,but some of the students work harder making excuses for not bringing then. We do not like to make personal remarks,but a few members are worth mentioning for some minor faults. Annie Thibodeau,for instance,seems always to have a great desire for whispering when the teacher is looking.Miss Cooper certainly enjoys her gum;a least it sounds thet way. One great fault,found by the class itself,is that we nevcr get out of school on time. The floor isn't clean,and we are told that neatness must be promoted. All in all,despite numerous trivial faults,we are satisfied that without the illustrious class of 1940, dear old Pennell wouldn't be what she is. Edward DeLorme
