Lee B. Hunt of Gray, and Bates A. M., was principal and teacher of Greek and sciences; Miss Emma Bickford taught modern languages and elocution; Miss Ida Brown taught mathematics and English: and Miss Clara B. Vinton (late Mrs. Lee B. Hunt) was special teacher of music and painting. Part of the time a fifth teacher for elocution was engaged, the first of whom was Mrs. A. M. Hawes. . Specific regulations for attendance at the new high school were made and remained in effect for about 30 years. They provided, in part, that the period between the hours of seven and nine each evening should be desig- nated study hours, during which time it would be an offence for a pupil to appear in public ог, in fact. to be seen anywhere but in his own home. Any student over ten years of age would be permitted to attend Pennell. The provision encouraged so many poorly equipped pupils to attend that a preparatory course of one year's studv, during which grade subjects were taught, was considered necessary preparation for entering the Freshman class. Earliest high school courses were: Higher English,” offering among other subjects German chemistry, and a choice of qualitative analysis or German physiology: a classical course requiring both Latin and German, also the study of geology, mineralogy, surveying, mental philosophy and political economy: and the college course with its three years of required Greek in addition to four years of Latin. The fall term frequently opened during the last week of August, and for more than 25 years, the year closed in the last week of May. Part of the time a fifth teacher for elocution was engaged, the first of whom was Mrs. A. M. Hawes. t In 1889 the first class of six members was graduated after three years шуш сык jus lady student wore any style or color of gradus i E ЛҮ.

The old building was sold and moved from the campus in 1903 to the residence of J. W. Stevens, where it was used to house an acetylene gas plant. The courses gradually changed, being adapted little by little to the needs and demands of the students. In the early 'teen years, a teachers’ course was introduced, in the place of the so-called English course, which had somewhat overlapped the general course in usefulness. The new course, offered to Juniors and Seniors, gave training in psychology and teaching methods, and provided an opportunity for practice teaching for several weeks in town schools, under competent supervision. About this time the first school orchestra of four pieces was formed, under the leader- ship of Gardner Morrill, who played the clarinet, with Aldine Osgood, pianist; Evelyn Bishop, cellist; and an outside member. This orchestra was short-lived as a school group, tho' effective. During these years and as late as 1920, no dancing was permitted at school functions, so that class events ( most of which were held at Memorial Hall) were inevitably followed by a social of marching games. Then came the war, and many of Pennell’s graduates were among the more than 40 young men from Gray who served their country here and in France in the American army. One alumnus, LeRoy А. Fogg, of the class of 1911, met his death in service at Fort Williams in the fall of 1918. It is both signifi- cant and interesting that Major J. D. Anderson, trustee of Pennell Institute, welcomed on these school grounds the homecoming boys in 1919. For Major Anderson, when an officer in the Union Army, trained recruits on this same campus, then a muster grounds, for service in the Civil War. In the early '20's a period of change and readjustment took place at Pennell: Study hours were repealed, dancing was permitted, and the school took on a new lease of life. An increasing number of students continued their education after graduating; later the preparatory class was abolished. Musical groups including glee clubs and a school orchestra were formed; the WHIRLPOOL was launched. The teachers’ course was dropped, owing to new State requirements in teacher training. and an agricultural course was instituted. This was popular until supplanted a few years ago by a manual arts course for boys and a household arts course for girls. The scope of athletics has been increased with a consequently greater school spirit. Inter- scholastic prize speaking has been a great advantage. [= Not the least post- war change was the discovery and new application of the meaning of psychology in student and teacher relationships. Form- erly unguessed qualities of leadership are being developed until the present Sophomore student possesses as much assurance and initiative as the Senior of former days. With what surprise the compilers of the first catalog who wrote of the original building: The building is large, commodious and commanding, with room ample to accommodate all who will be likely at any time to attend, would view the fine new gymnasium, the splendid gift of Mr. George Newbegin! Probably no other change has contributed so much to the welfare and happiness of so many people in all the 50 years of the school's existence. The appreciation of the students and an active alumni body for this gift is very real. is а During all the years the school has maintained а� А rating at the State department and with the College Certificate Board. Pennell graduates have represented the school with credit at some of the largest and finest colleges in the country, and scattered over a wide area, are holding excellent positions of responsibility. Eva M. BISHOP, Class of 1914. 8 The ‘Whirlpool Extra-Curricula Activities From a student viewpoint some of the changes and improvements in extra-curricula activities at Pennell this year have been noteworthy. We students particularly like the decreased emphasis on ranks alone, and the increased attention to more full participation in outside activities. For the first time this year students of average ability have a chance to be on an honor roll. This new honor roll is called the Good Citizenship List and has requirements that most students can meet: Passing grade and participa- tion in three or more outside activities. One of the most pleasing things to the writer is to see not only the large number making the list but also the number of students who have above average rank. To accomplish this change a much larger number of worthwhile out- side activities was needed. For the first time in years we have had extensive interclass and interschool sports, the musical organizations have been aug- mented, developed and put right in the regular school curriculum, and as a group we have participated in all school hikes. roller skating parties, visit to the auto show, and game periods. We students easily see that through the efforts of our faculty, Pennell is regaining its former rank in schools of its size. Let us, as students, cooper- ate with the faculty and work for the school by competing in activities and specializing in those in which we are best suited. In this way we can place Pennell first in sports and activities as it has been in the past. ANNIE THIBODEAU. Student Council Student council this year has filled a much-needed place in our school life. For a long time we have needed a student governing board to take up and discuss student problems, and to help govern the school with the fac- ulty. With this in mind we took particular care to see that the students we elected were truly representative of our classes. In this modern world of Dictatorships peoples are not only losing freedom, but all ability to govern themselves. To preserve our democracy we must not only be taught democratic principles but we must actually put them in practice. We must be able to choose good representatives, to carry responsibility, to learn to govern ourselves, and to abide by the majority decision. In closing we have one suggestion to make: We should have next year more student participation, we should carry more responsibility, and we should, through student pressure, either influence or abide by the decision of these chosen representatives. Bas: Senior Class In September, 1938, the Class of '39 started on its final year at Pen- nell Institute. We now have the main room to ourselves as the Juniors are housed in the new laboratory. At the first class meeting Ralph Sawyer was elected president; Everett Doughty, vice-president; June Hall, secretary; and Arvilla Humphrey, treasurer. Willis Hancock and Arvilla Humphrey were chosen Senior repre- sentatives to serve on the student council. Mr. Richards is our class advisor. The Whirlpool 9 Those Seniors in the orchestra and new Pennell band are: Mildred Hayes, Arvilla Humphrey, William Duplisea, and William Taylor. On the boys’ basketball team are the following Seniors: Ralph Sawyer, Willis Hancock, and Raimond Winslow. On the girls’ team are: Kay Jordan, Frances Field, and June Hall. 7 The Senior track boys are: Willis Hancock, Ralph Sawyer, and Sidney eavitt. To help earn money for our class trip to the New York World's Fair the second week of May we have had several food sales and a Senior Fair. We have also received a donation of ten dollars from Professor and Mrs. Whitehead of Harvard. This year we decided to have two one-act plays rather than one three- act play. In Who Gets the Car Tonight? were Raimond Winslow, Vivian Boyd, Mildred Hayes, Robert Glass, and Walter Hinds. In the other, Swept Clean Off Her Feet, were: Kay Jordan, Arvilla Humphrey, June Hall. William Duplisea, Willis Hancock, and Ralph Sawyer. In March the honor parts were announced. Frances Field is valedic- torian; William Duplisea, salutatorian; and Kay Jordan, Honor Essay. Ralph Sawyer and Arvilla Humphrey were also selected to speak at graduation. Those participating in the Senior Class Day exercises are: Mildred Hayes, June Hall, Vivian Boyd, Willis Hancock, Polly Knudsen, Sidney Leavitt, Robert Glass. Whether it has been realized or not, the Senior class has appreciated the help of the teachers. These four years have been full of success and hap- piness, and for us they will always recall pleasant memories. JUNE HALL.

Annie Thibodeau and Almon Hall were elected as our representatives in the student council. At our first class meeting we chose the following class officers: President, MADELINE MERRILL Vice-President. BETTY COOPER Secretary, BETTY BLAKE Treasurer, HELEN WINSLOW At the same mecting we made plans for a Christmas social. The Junior class won first prize with the stunts they put on at the Freshman party. The Junior boys were dressed as girls and presented a fashion parade. Two of the Junior girls were dressed as prize fighters: Helen Winslow took the part of Max Schmeling. Shirley Frost the part of Joe Louis. These two girls engaged in a rough fight, ending in a victory for Joe Louis. The Junior Christmas social was given December 15. The nickelodian which was to furnish the music refused to work, but thanks to volunteers the social was a success. The Junior class took over the candy business after Christmas with Laura Thompson and Marguerite Perry selling the goods. Our class has taken an active part in all school activities. The girls won the interclass volleyball and interclass basketball pennants. The boys won the interclass track plaque. The Junior boys on the basketball team were: Almon Hall and Neal Morey. On the girls’ basketball team were: Madeline Merrill, Shirley Frost, Helen Winslow, Annie Thibodeau, and Beatrice Scribner. There are eight Juniors in the band: Madeline M errill, Helen Winslow, Annie Thibodeau, Shirley Frost, Arthur Laurence, and Betty Cooper as Drum Major. Nearly all of the Juniors are taking part in the glee clubs. The Junior boys ran a Hoop-La booth at the Senior fair. It was very successful. Junior boys out for track are: Neal Morey and Almon Hall; the same boys are going out for baseball. À pop-concert was given by the Junior class March 31 in collabora- tion with the musical organizations. The motif and decorations were Spanish. A short musical program was given by the Pennell Orchestra and glee clubs. Miss Betty Cooper. Miss Marion Hawkes, and William Duplisea were soloists. After the concert dancing was furnished by a fine orchestra from Portland. Refreshments were served by Juniors dressed in Spanish cos- tumes. The decorations were very striking and were much admired. This was the first pop-concert ever presented here and was a magnificent success. This year has been a very successful year for the class of 1940 and we feel that we are capable of taking over new responsibilities and duties as Seniors next year. ARTHUR LAURENCE. Sophomore Notes The Sophomore class started off the new year by having a class meet- ing to elect student council members, and class officers. Class officers were elected as follows: President, PHILIP KUPELIAN — Vice-President, CATHERINE MACDONALD Secretary, VIRGINIA BARTON Treasurer, DONALD B. HALL Class Advisor, MR. RECORD The Whirlpool T —— Е The student council members elected were James Johnson and Jane aton. The people selected for the Freshman Reception committee were: James Johnson, Jane Eaton, Edra Maxwell. and Neal Merrill. The reception went off very well. We made the Freshmen feel rather foolish, but I think they had a good time. There was a dance afterwards. In extra-curricula activities of the school, our class has taken an important part. Some of the boys tried out for the rifle team. Our class js proud to mention Jane Eaton, the only girl from our class who went го Portland to enter the Y. M. C. A. swimming meet. Also we must mention the basketball teams. On the boys’ team we had Donald B. Hall, Donald F. Hall, Philip Kupelian, Neal Merrill, Warren Bowe, Raymond Field, and Vernon Pollard. On the girls’ team we had Jane Eaton, who plays guard and center beautifully, Edra Maxwell, a dashing gal who plays center, and Catherine MacDonald, who also plays center. | In closing, we must mention that we have been living up to the mean- ing of the word Sophomore very well. Mr. Record works hard to keep us all quiet, but someone always has to keep us a little longer by making more noise. One great fault of the class is its noise and we are told that there must not be noise in school. But just the same, we all think that without the class of 1941 something would be missing. CATHERINE MACDONALD. Freshman Notes The class of 1942 began the past year with fourteen pupils, but after several late entries and three withdrawals our enrollment numbered fifteen. In our first class meeting Genevieve Blake and Earle Glass were elected to the student council. At the next meeting we elected class officers as follows: President, DOROTHY COLLEY Vice-President, ARLENE WEATHERBEE Secretary, MAE MUZZY Treasurer, MADELINE GRANT When Mae Muzzy moved out of town, Edgar Dauphinée was chosen secretary. The first event on our social calendar was the Freshman Reception, sponsored by the Sophomores. Though some of us entered the hall with weak knees, we soon found that those domineering upperclassmen were quite harmless. In spite of the fact that we have had but one opportunity to raise money, this one and only social at Thanksgiving time was a decided suc- cess. A turkey raffle, class skits, and dancing made up most of the program. In athletics the Freshmen have not been as illustrious as other classes, with but a few showing interest. In track. Edgar Dauphinée and Roland Humphrey have been our only representatives. Basketball seemed to appeal only to girls. Those who came out for it were: Betty Bowe, Evrinome Peterson, Edith Norton, Madeline Grant, Arlene Weatherbee, Dorothy Witham, and Louella Boyd. Practically all the girls went out for volley- ball. In the swimming meet last fall, Genevieve Blake was our sole repre- sentative, but she made a fine showing. We have spent this year getting organized and acquainted. but we plan to do bigger and better things, both athletically and socially, when we return as Sophomores.

Junior boys out for track are: Neal Morey and Almon Hall; the same boys are going out for baseball. . A А pop-concert was given by the Junior class March 31 in collabora- tion with the musical organizations. The motif and decorations were Spanish. A short musical program was given by the Pennell Orchestra and glee clubs. Miss Betty Cooper, Miss Marion Hawkes, and William Duplisea were soloists. After the concert dancing was furnished by a fine orchestra from Portland. Refreshments were served by Juniors dressed in Spanish cos- tumes. The decorations were very striking and were much admired. This was the first pop-concert ever presented here and was a magnificent success. This year has been a very successful year for the class of 1940 and we feel that we are capable of taking over new responsibilities and duties as Seniors next year. ARTHUR LAURENCE. Sophomore Notes . . The Sophomore class started off the new year by having a class meet- ing to elect student council members, and class officers. Class officers were elected as follows: President, PHILIP KUPELIAN Vice-President, CATHERINE MACDONALD Secretary, VIRGINIA BARTON Treasurer, DONALD B. HALL Class Advisor, MR. RECORD The ‘Whirlpool 15 E The student council members elected were James Johnson and Jane aton. The people selected for the Freshman Reception committee were: James Johnson, Jane Eaton, Edra Maxwell, and Neal Merrill. The reception went off very well. We made the Freshmen feel rather foolish, but I think they had a good time. There was a dance afterwards. i In extra-curricula activities of the school, our class has taken an important part. Some of the boys tried out for the rifle team. Our class is proud to mention Jane Eaton, the only girl from our class who went to Portland to enter the Y. M. C. A. swimming meet. Also we must mention the basketball teams. On the boys’ team we had Donald B. Hall. Donald F. Hall, Philip Kupelian, Neal Me rrill, Warren Bowe, Raymond Field, and Vernon Pollard. On the girls’ team we had Jane Eaton, who plays guard and center beautifully, Edra Maxwell, a dashing gal who plays center, and Catherine MacDonald, who also plays center. In closing. we must mention that we have been living up to the mean- ing of the word Sophomore very well. Mr. Record works hard to keep us all quiet. but someone always has to keep us a little longer by making more noise. One great fault of the class is its noise and we are told that there must not be noise in school. But just the same, we all think that without the class of 1941 something would be missing. CATHERINE MACDONALD. Freshman Notes The class of 1942 began the past year with fourteen pupils, but after several late entries and three withdrawals our enrollment numbered fifteen. In our first class meeting Genevieve Blake and Earle Glass were elected to the student council. At the next meeting we elected class officers as follows: President, DOROTHY COLLEY Vice-President, ARLENE WEATHERBEE Secretary, MAE MUZZY Treasurer, MADELINE GRANT When Mae Muzzy moved out of town, Edgar Dauphinée was chosen secretary. The first event on our social calendar was the Freshman Reception, sponsored by the Sophomores. Though some of us entered the hall with weak knees, we soon found that those domineering upperclassmen were quite harmless. | In spite of the fact that we have had but one opportunity to raise money, this one and only social at Thanksgiving time was a decided suc- cess. À turkey raffle, class skits, and dancing made up most of the program. In athletics the Freshmen have not been as illustrious as other classes, with but a few showing interest. In track, Edgar Dauphinée and Roland Humphrey have been our only representatives. Basketball seemed to appeal only to girls. Those who came out for it were: Betty Bowe, Evrinome Peterson, Edith Norton, Madeline Grant, Arlene Weatherbee, Dorothy Witham, and Louella Boyd. Practically all the girls went out for volley- ball. In the swimming meet last fall, Genevieve Blake was our sole repre- sentative, but she made a fine showing. We have spent this year getting organized and acquainted, but we plan to do bigger and better things, both athletically and socially, when we return as Sophomores. LOUELLA BOYD.

Musical Organizations Music this vear has been considered important enough to become a part of the school curriculum. Thus the band and orchestra rehearse one school period each a week. The orchestra was organized last year under the direction of Principal Earle Richards with nine members, and increased to fourteen members this year. It has made several appearances this year, in two activity periods, with students, parents, and friends present: in a February concert, and in a pop- concert in March. АП of these performances delighted their listeners. On April 2 several of the orchestra members played in an 85-piece orchestra on the Maine Schools on the Air broadcast. In the concert given in February by the Musical Organizations, solos were rendered by three members of the orchestra—William Taylor, whose splendid violin playing was enjoyed by all: William Duplisea, whose accor- dion playing is already carrying him on the road to fame: and Madeline Merrill, who hopes that nothing ever prevents her from playing the piano. The band. newly organized this year under the leadership of Mr. Richards, has caused much enthusiasm. Many students started taking les- sons on some instrument in order that they might play, and it was begun with nineteen members. Capes were made by the home economics girls under the direction of Mrs. Putney and some of the mothers. The band's only public appearance was in the February concert, and although newly organized, their work was greatly appreciated. Seventy-five of eighty-five students in the school belong to some musi- cal organization, either band, orchestra, or glee clubs. This surely is a record to be proud of, and we hope it may continue. 18 The Whirlpool | Glee Clubs Glee clubs have been reestablished this year and have practically every student in school enrolled as members. The girls and boys formed separate glee clubs. The girls elected as officers: President, BETTY COOPER Vice-President, ANNIE THIBODEAU Secretary, JUNE HALL Treasurer, BETTY BLAKE The boys elected officers as follows: President, RALPH SAWYER Secretary, WILLIAM DUPLISEA Treasurer, JAMES RUSSELL Accompanist for both clubs was Madeline Merrill. The combined glee clubs made their first public appearance at the Christmas Pageant in December, when they sang Christmas carols. The second appearance of the glee clubs took place at a February concert given by the musical organizations. The boys’ glee club sang, ‘‘A Capital Ship and Loch Lomond,” and the girls sang, Lullaby from Jocelyn, А Merry Life, and “The Dove. Their third public appearance took place at the March Pop-concert where combined they sang Juanita. In all these appearances the splendid work of the glee clubs was en- joyed by all, and many thanks should be given to Miss Evans and Mr. Reed for their able direction. Student Council This year a student council was formed and has proved very successful in developing a fine spirit of coóperation and loyalty in the school. Two students, elected from each class, form a governing board to assist the faculty in school government, in extra-curricula work, and to give the students their own representatives in school policies. The basic idea of the student council is for the pupils to participate in the running of the school. Officers were elected as follows: President, WILLIS HANCOCK Secretary, ANNIE 'T HIBODEAU Treasurer, ARVILLA HUMPHREY Other members of the student council include Almon Hall, Jane Eaton, James Johnson, Genevieve Blake, and Earle Glass. Throughout the year members of the student council have among other things conducted fire drills, taken charge of study halls, planned assemblies, and organized a hike. The hike was especially enjoyed as there were eats—hotdogs and cold drinks. As the student council has proved so successful this year it will, no doubt, again be chosen to take a very important part in school government. Sub-Deb Club The Sub-Deb Club is a club formed by the Home Economics girls of Pennell Institute. The object of this club is to develop personality, leader- ship, initiative and social poise. The membership is for Home Economics girls who are interested in these aims. The officers of this club serve for one year and are: President, ARVILLA HUMPHREY Vice-President, ESTHER LIBBY Secretary, BETTY COOPER Treasurer, KATHLEEN JORDAN We feel that this has been very successful, and with our leader, Arvilla Humphrey, we have mastered many of the aims for which we have been working.

However, anyone who chose could participate, but only girls decided to enter. The preliminary contest was held at a school assembly one activity period with the teachers acting as judges. The following table gives the entries with the name of their selections: Frances Field — Nocturne. Betty Bowe— 'And So Was I. Louella Boyd— 'Seein' Things. Dorothy Witham— 'A Ballad.” Arlene Weatherbee—— Grandmother's Beaux.” Genevieve Blake— Betty at the Baseball Game. Laura Thompson— The Cremation of Sam McGee.

Since he can think of no excuse, Mr. Jones tells his son that he is going to the party and will need the car. At this point Mary, the daughter, enters and tries to get the car. After quite a series of fights and squabbles between Mary, Paul, Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Jones, the garage calls up and informs them that no one will get the car as it has broken down. The inter-family fights are very amusing. ‘The ‘Whirlpool 21 GLEE CLUB STUDENT COUNCIL Front Row (left to right): Annie Thibodeau (Sec), Willis Hancock (Pres), Arvilla Humphrey (Treas.), Almon Hall.

To accomplish this we have adopted an inter- class program that offers a wide variety of sports with which to satisfy the individual interests of everyone in school. Interclass Basketball and Interclass Volleyball The various class teams of Pennell had real basketball and volleyball tournaments this year. The Senior basketball team was the final winner with the Sophomores taking the lead in volleyball, Each winning class received a blue and white banner. Horseshoes a This is the first year that Pennell has had horseshoes. Those partici- pating in the sport were Everett Doughty, Donald F. Hall, Willis Hancock, Raimond Winslow, Donald Verrill, James Johnson, James Russell, and Raymond Field. Everett Doughty won the tournament. Interclass Track In the interclass track meet for non-lettermen the Juniors and Seniors combined to defeat the Freshmen and Sophomores. Members of the win- ning team were E. Doughty, A. Hall, H. Nason, W. Hinds, R. Glass, and R. Winslow. Badminton This is a new and very popular sport for both boys and girls, It can be played either in or outdoors. Various interclass tournaments have taken place as well as individual games. Tennis Mr. Reed gave a few instructions in tennis this fall. It will be con- tinued next spring.

Kay Jordan and Almon Hall were elected king and queen. There were races for all, vari- ous ski and snowshoe dashes, obstacle races, and a snowball fight. After the finish of the events and announcement of the winners the students all went to the Home Economics room for hotdogs. Basketball Pennell had a reasonable number of bovs reporting for basketball this year. They were: Ralph Sawyer, Willis Hancock. Raimond Winslow, Neal Morey, Almon Hall, Donald F. Hall, Donald B. Hall. Neal Merrill, Vernon Pollard, Warren Bowe, Raymond Field, and Philip Kupelian. Practice games were held with Falmouth. Gorham and Casco. The Triple C League opened December 2 with the following schedule for Pennell: December 2—Pennell, 19; Gree ly, 22. Pennell Institute opened its basketball season on December 2, playing their first game in the Triple C Conference with Greely Institute on the Pennell floor. December 9—Pennell, 28: Freeport, 40. M he play the next game in the league Pennell went to Freeport High chool. December 16—fPennell, 14; New Gloucester, 11. Pennell won their home game with New Gloucester. This was the first league game Pennell has won in two years. January 6—Pennell, 19; Windham, 43. For the next game Pennell played Windham High at Windham. In this game Pennell lost to what was probably their strongest opposing team. January 13—Pennell, 20: Greely, 24. The next game was a return game with Greely Institute at Cumber- land Center. It was a well-played, close game, ending with Greely only four points ahead. January 27—Pennell, 10; Freeport, 55. The return game with Freeport was played January 27 at the Pennell gymnasium. This seemed to be the most discouraging game we had played this season because of Freeport's overwhelming lead. February 3—Pennell, 20; New Gloucester, 27. In the Pennell-New Gloucester game the circumstances seemed in favor of us, but after a hard-fought battle the New Gloucester boys came out six points ahead. February 24—Pennell, 15; Windham, 56. The last and hardest league game was played with Windham High on Pennell's floor. Windham, as we had expected, proved to be the stronger team, and won with a decided margin. The following boys earned their letters this year: Ralph Sawyer (Capt.), Willis Hancock, Raimond Winslow, Almon Hall, Donald F. Hall, Donald B. Hall, Philip Kupelian, Sidney Leavitt (Mgr.). Track The number of boys out for track this year was much larger than that of last year. They are: Willis Hancock, Ralph Sawyer, Sidney Leavitt, Neal Morey, Almon Hall, James Johnson, Vernon Pollard, Donald F. Hall, Roland Humphrey, and Eddie Dauphinée.

Pennell won with a score of 47 to 19. In the Triple C indoor track meet April 1, Pennell placed second with a score of 24 points. Ralph Sawyer, with 24 points, was the high scorer. He holds the record for points scored in these meets, and has been high scorer for two successive years. At a school assembly on April 7 he was presented an individual trophy by Portland Junior College for his outstanding per- formance in the Triple C meet.

S ME E65 Willis Hancock 40 Sidney Leavitt Pennell placed sixth in the meet. In this meet William Duplisea earned more than 70 points, which entitles him to a letter. Baseball We can make no definite reports on the baseball results so early in the season, but it will be a successful season. The spring schedule is as follows: May 2—Pennell at Windham. May 23—Pennell at New Glouces- May 4—Windham at Pennell. ter. May 9—Greely at Pennell. May 25—Pennell at Greely. May 12—Pennell at Freeport. May 31—Freeport at Pennell May 18—New Gloucester at Pennell. The comparative success of the basketball season is due in a large measure to the tireless and unceasing efforts of our coach, Mr. Reed. The results of the track meets show evidence of Mr. Record's fine coaching. ALMON HALL, Boys’ Sports Editor. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Swimming . . This year we added a new sport to our list, swimming. Although this Is not an organized sport, we hope to make it one soon. During the year one practice was held at the Portland Boys' Club. Genevieve Blake, Jane Eaton, Betty Blake, Betty Cooper, Helen Winslow, Annie Thibodeau, Frances Field, and Madeline Merrill entered the Triple C meet, October 12, at the Y. M. C. A. The girls swam very well, and much Н should be given to Genevieve Blake for her exceptional swimming ability. Next year much more interest is expected to be shown and we hope that we may have an opportunity to practice more. Interclass Volleyball Last autumn we engaged in intramural competition in which each class played the other. The eliminations resulted in a tie between the Sophomores and Juniors. This necessitated а playoff game in which the Juniors won. Although volleyball was a relatively new sport in our school, the girls showed a great deal of interest in it. We hope that there will be even more interest shown in this sport next year, thus resulting in better games. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Front Row (left to right): Madeline Merrill, Annie Thibodeau, June Hall (Capt), Kay Jordan, Frances Field. Back How: Helen Winslow, Beatrice Scribner, Edra Maxwell, Miss Phillis Evans (Coach), Katherine Boyd, Jane Eaton, Katherine MacDonald. Interclass Basketball Our interclass basketball schedule was on the elimination basis last fall. In these contests the Juniors won three out of three games. Their lineup was as follows: Forwards, Betty Blake, Katherine Boyd, Beatrice Scribner: centers, Helen Winslow and Shirley Frost; guards, Annie Thibo- deau and Madeline Merrill. Basketball The first basketball practice held proved that there was enthusiasm concerning this sport as twenty-five girls turned out for practice. Those same ones have continued their good attendance throughout the year. They are: Madeline Grant, Arlene Weatherbee, Betty Bowe, Jane Eaton, Gene- vieve Blake, Evrinome Peterson, Louella Boyd, Irene Peterson, Edra Max- well. Helen Russell, Catherine MacDonald, Christine Clark, Betty Blake, Katherine Boyd, Beatrice Scribner, Helen Winslow, Shirley Frost, Laura Thompson, Annie Thibodeau, Miriam Bisbee, Madeline Merrill, June Whitney, Frances Field, Kay Jordan, and June Hall. SCHEDULE Pennell opened the basketball season this year by playing two practice games, one with Falmouth, and the other with Casco. The game with Casco proved very successful, the final score being 20-16 in favor of the Pennell girls. Although the game with Falmouth was not so successful for us—41-15——it was a very good practice game. Am The Whinkpook The Triple C Conference games opened December 2 with the follow- ing schedule: December 2—Greely, 20; at Pennell, 25. This caused great excitement for our team as it was the first league game they had ever won. December 9—Pennell, 7; at Freeport, 17. Although the team played a hard-fought game they were outclassed. January 5—New Gloucester, 13; at Pennell, 17. Both teams were evenly matched but our team triumphed. January 13—-Pennell, 6; at Windham, 26. Although our team fought hard, it lost to a very fine group of players. January 20—Pennell, 19; at Greely, 19. The teams were evenly matched, and in spite of a hard struggle by both teams the game resulted in a tie. January 27—Freeport, 15; at Pennell, 12. This proved to be the best game we had ever played, as our team held the lead once during the last three minutes of playing time. Even though we were defeated, the game proved the most exciting of the season. February 10—Pennell, 23; at New Gloucester, 20. This closely scored game proved very exciting for both the players and the onlookers. February 13—-Windham, 36; at Pennell, 18. The last game of the season was played with much enthusiasm but our team was again defeated in a hard contested game. Several other practice games held during the year were: Casco, 13; at Pennell, 12. The teams were very evenly matched with Pennell! holding the lead until the last four minutes, when Casco scored two baskets. Pennell, 21; at Leavitt, 34. This game was rather rough, but both teams played a hard contested game. Pennell. 17; at Westbrook, 46. The game, although we did not win, was a very good practice game for us. Leavitt, 29; at Pennell, 15. Both teams played another hard-fought game. Pennell, 21; Gray A. A., 32. This practice game proved great fun and good practice. Those girls earning their basketball letters this year are: Captain June Hall, Kay Jordan, Helen Winslow, Frances Field, Shirley Frost, Annie Thibodeau, Edra Maxwell, Jane Eaton, Beatrice Scribner, and Madeline Merrill. Our team has improved greatly since last year due to the very fine coaching of Miss Evans. Her interest and encouragement proved a great help to the girls. Next year we hope that we can win even more games than we did this year. The ‘Whirlpool 29 Our Johnny Mind you, I'm not freezing here because I want to; it's because our Johnny made me promise that I'd come and watch him play. He wanted Mom ' to come, too, but she just couldn't come and see her only son run the risk of getting hurt. I don't like to have our Johnny playing football; he's too slight of build to buck up against all those ‘‘Beefeaters’’ down there. I don't understand a thing about this game. First one group takes the ball and goes one way; then another group takes it back again, and they are all the time trying to knock each other down. Our Johnny never weighed more than a hundred and forty-five, but he's almost six feet tall so you can see that he must have a slight build. Mom and I used to worry ourselves almost sick over how spindly our Johnny was. I remember once, when he was in the second grade, we took him to a specialist and got some kind of a tonic for him. Johnny took it for awhile, but he didn't like it. How it hurt me to look into his mild, blue eyes and watch them fill up with tears every time I asked him to take his medicine. One day Johnny just rebelled and said that he didn't care if he didn't grow up to be big and strong. He got so worked up over it that he refused to go to school. Of course Mom and I decided that an education was more important to our Johnny than a fine physique—I'll admit that my boy is short on muscle, but he wasn't behind the door when the brains were passed out. No, sir, our Johnny was the third highest in his high school class. I might as well tell you that I always hoped that our Johnny would be a minister. He wouldn't get rich and he wouldn't be famous, but he could be sure of leading a useful life. This hope has left my mind now, because—well, because things haven't turned out, for our Johnny, as they were planned. The game must be over for everyone is leaving. I don't see what they find to shout so much about; I guess it's just because I don't understand the game. The scoreboard says that Sing-Sing, that's our Johnny's team, beat Alcatraz, 20-14. RALPH SAWYER, '29. 30 Y ‘The Whirlpool Е The Excuse Habit Excuses come in very handy when you can work them in to keep yourself on speaking terms with the teachers. It is possible to stretch the truth without making a lie of it if you have had enough experience in the art; for it is an art in itself. Even in a small school like this the excuse art is perhaps practiced more than any other course of arts. Manual arts is no exception either! The only reason that we are not given credit for this course is because we have no teachers that teach the subject, therefore, our only teacher is experience. Experience is a wonderful teacher, but it can certainly get a beginner into a peck of trouble. Experience has taught some students to perfection (I won't mention any names), so if you are in need of a professional excuse just call on them; they are glad to render their assistance. I have received help a number of times in the course of the last year. (And life-savers they were, too!) Excuses come in very handy when they are desperately needed, but to get into the habit of using them in place of essential facts is a bad under- taking. It will bring countless trouble to all who persist in using the excuse habit continually. WILLIAM TAYLOR, '39. Whispering There are many legitimate reasons for whispering. First of all, like chewing gum, it develops the lower law, making it appear stronger. Second- ly, whispering keeps the facial muscles in good working order. If they were allowed to stay idle for an hour, they would become utterly useless, and one would have to learn to talk all over again. Thirdly, whispering is a means of showing off one's personality. If а person has a beautiful smile and a nice whispering voice, he wants his neighbors to know about it. Another reason for whispering is to help others with their lessons. If one sees his friend struggling over an assignment, he naturally, has the urge to help him. Of course, if he is too anxious to help, he becomes a nuisance; thus the chronic whisperer does appear to be very ridiculous. MILDRED HAYES, '39.

Modern Chivalry and Manners As a gentleman of today you should fulfill all the requirements that I shall set forth for you. First, I want you to understand that I am not writing for pleasure but for your social improvement. Assuming that you are a young man between the ages of fifty and a hundred, you should always take your brass knuckles off before striking a | ‘The Whinlpook 31 lady. Unless she is much younger than you or below your social status you should also remove your hat, otherwise it is permissible to keep your hat on. If you see both a good-looking young girl and an old lady about to cross the street, you should help the girl dodge cars. Nine times out of ten the old lady is merely waiting for her boy friend, or she may even be “о� the pick ир.” .. lf a lady drops her pocketbook, a true gentleman will instinctively pick it up because she may not have noticed that she dropped it. Picture yourself riding in a street car, and a woman getting on with a baby in her arms. Do you know what to do? You should stand up; if you are an older person and rather corpulent you might bow deeply just to show how athletic you still are. Then, before you sit down again, you should offer to hold the baby for her. This may sound like a foolish thing to do, but it is really quite safe because very few mothers will entrust their young offspring to a strange man. If you go to the theater often, never fail to carry a bag of popcorn balls to munch on and never forget to have an ample supply of bubble gum. One thing that you must guard against is giving any to the person next to you. It is apt to distract people's attention from you to him because he may be able to make more noise than you. It always makes you feel so important to have people gazing at you, especially if you have just inflated an extra large double lunger.” Of course, I realize that my ideals differ slightly from Emily Post's, but if you live up to them you won't have to for very long. RALPH SAWYER, '39. Books as Magic Carpets Books can be magic carpets. They can take you over the horizon into the wilds of Africa or behind the scenes into the business world. They can show you what makes a watch tick, how a car can go so fast, and why people act the way they do. They can make you a Turkish Sultan, a Pari- sian designer, or a lonely beggar in the streets of New York. Р The truly interested reader is not sitting in his becushioned easy chair, nor is he merely watching the lion hunters, or America’s ace detectives, or the cream of British royalty. He is hunting lions, trying to solve age-old crimes, or holding the Empire together. Nor do these magic-carpet books cover space only: they can take you back through the ages, into the future, and even across the border into the realm of fantasy. The opening of a book is the open sesame to these vast domains of unrecorded happenings and imaginary places. All one has to do is to close the book and he is back in his easy chair. VIVIAN ВОҮР, '39. My Fish Story In the bottom of the sea there are many little fish. They live with their papa and mamma fishes. The little boy and girl fishes work and play very hard. х In the morning they get up early and milk the sea cows. They drink the milk from the sea cows for breakfast. After breakfast they go to school if they are good little fishes. If they are not good little fishes, they sometimes skip school. After school they come home and have sea lettuce and sea cucumber salad for lunch. In the afternoon the boy fishes work in the gardens pulling seaweeds. After this they enjoy their favorite sport, sea horseback riding. 32 The Whirlpool The girl fishes take care of the flower gardens, where they grow sea ane- mones. Then they play with their pets, the catf ishes and dogfishes. After their supper of more sea lettuce and sea cucumber salad, and more milk from the sea cows, the good little fishes go to bed. Some little fishes aren't good little fishes, however, and they don't go to bed when they should. While they are swimming around, they sometimes see worms floating through the water. The next morning the papa and mamma fishes may find one of their little fish missing. By this time the little fish is prob- ably being fried. HELEN RUSSELL, ‘41. Borrowing Borrowing is a very useful habit to cultivate. It saves money, time, energy, and is very beneficial to neighbors. Suppose a friend had a new fountain pen. I am sure he would appre- ciate it very much if you were to help him break it in. Two shades of ink do not mix, so you must borrow your friend's ink to fill the pen. Or maybe your neighbor has a new pencil. Everyone knows how awk- ward it is writing with a long pencil, and you could do your neighbor a good deed by using his pencil until it is just the right length. Of course if the pencil happens to be too short don't bother to return it. Borrowing is also excellent exercise for the brain, for you must remem- ber what persons have the best articles to borrow. А careful, systematic study of your friends' belongings will eventually enable you to determine those from whom you may borrow with most advantageous results. JUNE HALL, '39. Some Pests I Have Known The pests which I have in mind are most annoying when they work in pairs. They prey largely on their own species and delight in torturing and teasing their victim slowly and consistently as a cat delights in teasing a helpless mouse. They creep up behind you and unexpectedly pull your hair or untie an apron string. But once you have these pests separately it is much easier to protect yourself. А good weapon is a pin or a needle. In a pinch finger nails, if long and pointed, also come in handy. Luckily these pests are not universal. Only those who have brothers. as I do, must be increasingly annoyed. JUNE HALL, '39. My Imaginary Autobiography I cannot remember when I was born. The first thing I knew I was running rapidly and never stopped. I have a bed but I do not sleep in it. I have a mouth but I do not eat. I have banks but I do not deposit money in them. People use me often for logging, skating, canoeing, and swimming. They swim in me and they skate on me. Of course you know who I am. EDDIE DAUPNINEE, '42. Modern Chivalry Today young men and boys are not so chivalrous as were their fathers in their day. The days of bowing and curtsying are gone forever. Ї� the Civil War days you were very impolite if you did not bow or curtsy. Our fathers were not so bold as their sons are today. They would say when introduced to a young lady, “How do you do, Miss Hepplebow?” Е The Whinkpook 33 We now hear, “Ні Ya Toots!” or ‘‘Pleased to meetcha!”’ Girls are not shown so much respect by boys as were the girls of the nineteenth century. When a young lady enters a crowded street car does the average young man jump up to give her his seat? Not unless she's very pretty. It was once upon a time the fashion to kiss a lady's hand when intro- duced, but if one did it now everyone would laugh. When a boy and girl go riding does the boy open the car door for the girl? Very seldom, though this is not entirely the fault of the boys. When you see a boy and girl walking down the street nine times out of ten the boy is on the wrong side. Today a girl is more of a comrade to a boy than just a dressed-up lady you take places now and then. Girls are now equal to boys in business and social life. Girls now are more independent than were the girls who wore hoop skirts and bustles. It is not that the boys are thoughtless or ill-mannered, it is just mod- ern chivalry. HELEN WINSLOW, '40. A Lonely Dog He's only a little lonely dog. His color, white and brown: His home the place he happens in When darkness settles down. His meals are few and far between, His troubles have no end. Won't someone lend a kindly hand To a dog who has no friend? BETTY BOWE, '42. 34 The Whirlpool = әң What Would Happen If! ! E gri Warren Bowe didn't shoot his mouth off. Bernice Edwards made a noise.

The Alumni Association was organized in 1891 with twenty-five members. There have been 417 graduates from Pennell and of these, there are 368 living members, although several of the addresses are unknown. Officers of the Alumni Association President, KENNETH H. SAWYER Vice-President, GERALD KIMBALL Secretary, ELSIE MEGQUIRE Treasurer, NORMA PRINCE The Chipman Prize The Chipman prize was a five-dollar gold piece, given each year, by Guy Chipman to the best citizen of the graduating class.
