16 Tur WHIRLPOOL FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES When school opened in September there were seventeen Fresh- men enrolled. Owing to some changes the present class is now one of sixteen pupils. On October 6, 1939 the Freshman Reception was given by the Sophomores. The Freshmen had to participate in various stunts and games, much to the amusement of the others assembled. An outstanding event for the Freshmen was their victory in a contest between classes to check noise in the halls. Their reward was a trip to the movies. In athletics the girls showed little interest, but the boys proved their ability in several ways. They had a fine basketball team of their own and came second in their league. The class was invited to participate in the Hancock Junior High Snow Carnival, held on January eighth. None of the girls entered, but the boys did well with Giles Carr, John Wilkinson and Newland Saunders winning ribbons. The proportion of four girls to twelve boys is a rare one, but in this case it does not seem to alter the sense of unity and harmony in any class project. The Freshman class is a lively one and a good prospect for Pennell’s future. SHIRLEY KUCH
