Record We, the class of 1942, wish to express our appreciation to our Whirlpool advisor, Frank A. Record, by dedicating this issue to him. During the past three years the continual improvement of the school annual has been due entirely to his understanding of stu- dents, his patience, and his friendly leadership. We Juniors are particularly grateful for his careful suggestions and his hard work in helping us produce our Whirlpool.

We all like to ex- plore things and learn more about ourselves, our environment, aud the people whom we watch and admire. We want to live a full life and get the most that we can from life. This can be done either directly or indirectly through play. True recreation is that which is enjoyed most and is the far- thest away from one's everyday work. The same activities are not suitable for everyone. А good recreation for one person may be drudgery for another. However, most schools have enough variety in activities so that everyone may be included. Activity is better for anyone than mere entertainment. It develops one physically and socially and is much more enjoyed. Delinquency is developed in great part where there is very little or no opportunity for activity, and where only poor forms of rec- reation are available. This is why in schools more and more outside activities аге being brought into the daily curriculum. Students who are often seen hanging around street corners would no doubt participate in more activities, were there more activities in which to participate. And yet we hear older people continually saying that all there 15 in high school these days is dancing and ball games. Some even go so far as to say that high school is no good because more time is devoted to activity than to study. But we young people are not conservatives, we are liberals, we want change, improve- ment. Maybe what was good enough for older people is good enough for us. But what 1s good for us probably would have been a lot better for them too. Activities must be learned when one is young and has the en- thusiasm to learn, rather than spending one's younger days read- ing books and spending one's later days trying to learn what should have been learned years before. Possibly in the olden days this was considered the only form of education. But it has been definitely proven that meeting people and knowing how to entertain and participate in different activities makes up the greater part of education. Not only do we like the different courses here such as Arts and Crafts, Music, Athletics, Gym, and Bible Study but we also realize how much value as recreation these activities offer us. We don't want fewer recreations. We want more! ! LurrLrA Воур, '42 Tur WHIRLPOOL 7 FULL SPEED AHEAD Today we are facing an international as well as national emer- gency. After many small defenseless democracies have been swal- lowed up by the dictatorial governments, we see that if we don't prepare ourselves at once these countries which are led by tyran- nical dictators will also try to take over America. Our country is full of spies, sympathizers of Hitlerism, Fas- cism, Communism, and other non-American, unpatriotic groups. We must be rid of these non-patriots, for we won't have any secrets of our army, navy, and defense program as the war con- tinues. The defense machine is now getting into high gear. We are training thousands of men who will fight in our army if we enter the war. We are sending supplies to England and other brave countries which are trying to fight off the Axis Powers. We have only one stumbling block, but this is in our own coun- try. This obstacle is the strikes caused by the Labor Unions. Ex- perts say that we will be in the war by July. If this is true we can't be hampered by the strikes if we ever expect to be prepared and fully armed by then. England, our first line of defense, needs the supplies that are being held up by the Labor leaders who cause the strikes. Let us be rid of those who wish to hold up our produc- tion line. All of us can help bolster our defense. Yes, even the American youth. Of course, there aren’t many of our youths old enough to make airplanes, guns, etc., but we can all help by fighting against spies and enemy agents. We have a powerful defender in our knowledge of what is going on. We are more informed than the youth of any other country in the world. Our health is another weapon. If we keep this we will be phy- sically fit for the Army, Navy or the Marine Corps. We must remember that we youth are the future citizens of America. We have indeed something to fight for. If we rid ourselves of our stumbling block, we will be far ahead on our Defense Program. May the dictators always be op- pressed!

Hall to represent us in the Student Council. For class officers we elected the following: Neal Merrill, President; Catherine MacDonald, Vice-President ; Berenice Edwards, secretary; and Donald Е. Hall, Treasurer. In extra curricular activities we have been prominent. Six senior boys played on the basketball team. Five senior girls went out for basketball, and three of our girls made up a badminton team which played at Portland High School. To earn money for our class trip to Washington we have had food sales, bridge parties, a social, suppers, a Senior Fair, a rum- mage sale and a class play. This vear the seniors have had a chance to do practice work in various local businesses. The girls have had experience as maids, telephone operators, librarians, and apprentices in teaching physical education. The boys have had filling station experience, office work, and training in teaching physical education. We have appre- ciated and enjoyed this chance, and we hope that the next year's seniors will make use of and enlarge this opportunity. We are sad at the thought of leaving Pennell, but we are con- fident that we have received excellent preparation with which to adventure out into the world, whether we are seeking a job or higher education. JANE EATON, '41 Tue WHIRLPOOL 15 SENIOR PLAY Professor, How Could You?” On March 27th and 28th the seniors presented the play, “Рго- fessor, How Could You? , a three act comedy. The cast was as follows: Professor Keats Perry (a young professor) ..... Henderson Beal Vicky Randolph (his pet hate) s Jane Eaton John Appleby (back-slapping friend of the professor) James Johnson Priscilla Morley (his cute little secretary) .. Catherine MacDonald Grandpa Perry (a not-so innocent bystander) .......

Hail Valerie Whitman (southern applesauce) ................. Helen Russell Boggins (the sporting butler) „rris Neal Merrill oe qoM виорот ни Henry and Dorothy Beck Professor, How Could You? is about a young professor who knows everything about history and nothing about women. The professor wants to become dean, but he has to have a wife to do it. He asks John to find a girl for him. Meanwhile Vicky. who has come to the professor's house to apologize for throwing a bottle of ink at him, and has overheard everything decides that she would like to help. John, Vicky, and Boggins each choose a candidate and put ten dollars in a Jar as a bet. Grandma is asked to give a dinner party for the three girls. Grandpa, on the sly, puts in his money on another girl. Things are very complicated after Grandpa calls up Valerie, Tootsie, and Priscilla and tells them that Keats wants to elope with them. The play reaches a hilarious climax when John comes in dressed as a woman and bringing two children. He pretends to be Keats’ wife. After John makes himself known, the professor is free to marry the girl he really loves. Grandpa wins the money for betting о� Vicky, and everyone is happy. The cast played its parts very well. Much gratitude is due Mr. Richards who did an excellent job of coaching. The cast is also very grateful to the other teachers, who helped in every possible way to make this play a success.

We would like to have accomplished more this year, but it was impossible due to the size of the class. Mar Muzzv, '42 SOPHOMORE NOTES Although the second year class in most high schools is called the class of silly-sophomores. we have tried very hard to live down this name under the leadership of Mr. Record. On the first day of school we counted noses and found that we had the sum of eighteen; later when we summed up the number of students present, we found that, because of many withdrawals, we totaled only fourteen. At our first class meeting we chose these class officers: President Giles Carr Vice-President ictoria Peterson Secretary . Arnold Hall Treasurer... Martin Lashua О А, LR Mr. Record Tue WHIRLPOOL 17 Our student council members were Shirley Kuch and John Wilkinson. Last year's class officers and Student Council members were liked so well that we reelected them this year. Victoria Peterson was the only new officer. On our Freshman Reception committee were John Wilkinson, Stuart Saunders, Ruth Smith, Shirley Kuch, and Arnold Hall. The success of the reception must be attributed to Mr. Loiko, our very capable master-of-ceremonies. Although some were taken for a ride, the Freshmen took most of the initiation in the right spirit. In the extra curricular activities of the school ycar our class has been outstanding. At one of the most enjoyable assemblies of the year the Sopho- mores put on a short skit that became the talk of the day. The name of the play was A Marriage Failure. The cast was as follows: Squire Squeezermore, a boodle Alderma n 2... Milo Cummings Major Wederbute, his boon companion |... Joseph Peterson Henry Helpmeout, the Major's hired man .. .. Martin Lashua Will Winner, the young lover emsa . John Wilkinson Rev. Mr. Tizem, officiating clergyman шан Giles Carr Mrs. Squeezermore, the Squire's wife o Jeanne Smith Fairyanna Squeezermore, the Squire's daughter ........... Ruth Smith О Е: О ce Ea Sema Shirley Kuch Stace Vance. d Arnold Hall Special mention goes to Joseph Peterson for his portrayal of the character, Major Wederbute, a scoundrel if there ever was one, and to Ruth Smith, afterwards nicknamed the Sweetheart of Pennell, for her part as Fairyanna Squeezermo re, the center of attraction. We are proud to name three boys of our class who played on the basketball team. They were Earle Wilson, Milo Cummings. and Martin Lashua. Also going out for basketball were Giles Carr and Arnold Hall, both playing successfully on the second team. We are also proud to mention that Ruth Smith played on the girls’ basketball team. She was the only sophomore girl who went out for basketball. Earle Wilson was our only representative on the track team. He was indeed a help to the team, particularly in short distance running. After reading what we have accomplished you can understand why we believe that next year we will attain even greater success as Juniors. Авхого Hatt, 43 18 Tur WHIRLPOOL FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES The class of '- commenced with an enrollment of twenty-one pupils. Due to some withdrawals and some late entries we have now a class of twenty-three students. We clected the following class officers: TOS LOT ee ctae ен Vice-President ТИКИЕ Robert Purinton П САВТ рн “ sss. МЕЈ Tripp SELUI суунар нент women Emily Maxwell The Student Council representatives who were elected were Merilyn Cole and Clifford Purinton. The three members of the Freshman class in the orchestra are pianist, Merilyn Cole; drummer, Harold Cooper; and clarinetist. Ethel Tripp. In sports we had seven Freshmen out for basketball. They did well, as two girls, Emily Maxwell and Ethel Tripp. were on the regular team; three others, Betty Atwood, Shirley Purinton, and Colleen Blake were substitutes. Two Freshmen boys, Robert Purinton and Clifford Purinton were on the second team. The following six girls showed an interest in badminton: Emily Max- well, Anita Pinette, Betty Atwood, Shirley Purinton, Ethel Tripp, and Colleen Blake. These three boys went out for track: Robert Purinton, Clifford Purinton, and Harold Cooper. We hope that even more will participate in sports in the future, for we are very pleased with the great interest shown by the Freshman class in sports this year. Our first social event was the Freshman Reception. which was sponsored by the Sophomore class. It was held on Friday, the thirteenth of September. Whether the choice of the date, Friday the Thirteenth,” was intentional or not, all signs of ill-omens failed, for everyone had a very pleasant evening, even though we realized that the upperclassmen were going to initiate us properly. We have tried this year at Pennell to prepare ourselves for a better right to be worthy of the name Sophomores in the coming year.

It is working very effectively here, as it does in other colleges and high schools at the present time. The members chosen were Merilvn Cole and Clifford Purinton from the Freshman class; Shirley Kuch and John Wilkinson from the Sophomore class; Madeline Grant and Earle Glass from the Junior class; Jane Eaton and Donald B. Hall from the Senior class. The officers elected were Donald B. Hall, president; Madeline Grant, treasurer; Merilyn Cole, secretary. The Student Council helps in many ways to improve school discipline. Every week a different Student Council member stands in the hall at the beginning and end of each period to keep order on the stairs. In the main reom paper is picked up and the room kept neat by each class under the supervision of the council. Other activities which we have sponsored have been assemblies and public relations. This year the Student Council went to Augusta. 20 Tue WHIRLPOOL It was interesting to learn what other schools had achieved. The discussion of problems that confront every school was beneficial to us all. We meet every Monday at 2:30 in the afternoon. The meeting is called to order and the secretary reads her report, old and new business is taken up and then the meeting 1s adjourned. The Student Council's main object is to bring the faculty and students into closer contact, to promote the welfare of the school, and to have better discipline and cooperation among the students. MrRILYN Cote, ЧА BIBLE STUDY When the writer of this article stepped into the classroom on that first Tuesday, he was startled. As Bible Study was an elective course, he had expected probably eight or ten would wish to take the course. Therefore he had reason to look abashed when he found forty-eight enrolled. This was almost too large a group to teach successfully, but the problem was solved a week later. Twelve stu- dents decided that they had not time to pursue the subject. The other thirty-six, however, have proven most loyal by remaining through the year. The purpose of Bible Study has been not only to teach a greater respect for the Bible, but also to make the Book more easily un- derstood. The student has been taught to consider the Bible as a history of man's struggle to find his God. This eliminates the idea of magic or mysticism so commonly associated with religious writ- ings. The Bible in this course has been considered sacred because of its influence in literature, art, history and personal life. The stu- dent has been prepared for the mental or spiritual shock that sometimes comes when they enter college. He has been taught to be able to listen to honest Biblical criticism and yet maintain conviction and admiration for those principles that conslitute a wholesome, intelligent standard of living. In the Bible Study Class the instructor has attempted to teach three phases of Christianity, mainly :— Christianity offers an explanation of the world in which we live. It is impossible, or should be impossible, not to seek for such an explanation, and though no explanation that we can give is likely to be complete, we must seek for one which takes account of the most important facts: if we are right, as we believe we are, in thinking that nothing has been created greater than man, our ex- : planation must account for him and for his hopes. From another point of view Christianity is a historical institu- tion. It has its roots in certain facts of history which can be ex- amined like other historical facts. We can see how it began, how it grew and how it is still growing, and we can learn both from its successes and from its failures. THE WHIRLPOOL 21 Lastly, we have to think of Christianity as a guide to our lives, the following of a divine pattern, the loyalty to a divine Master. It is through the earthly life of Jesus that we are shown the road which we must travel to make our lives successful, morally and spiritually. In presenting the three aspects of Christianity through Bible Study, the student has been taught to face the present day prob- lems in terms of Jesus’ teachings. The course has attempted to teach that the Bible is not a dry, dusty book of magic but distinctly a human living document with application to everyday life. Reverenp Epwarp Е. WHITE GIRLS’ VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE Our new course in vocational guidance this year is under the supervision of Miss Spencer for the Freshmen and Sophomores and Miss Knight for the Juniors and Seniors. We have vocational guidance for half an hour each week. The Freshmen and Sophomore group discuss such topics as proper health habits, good character, careful grooming, clothes and per- sonality, etiquette, citizenship, speech, outside interests, hobbies and vocations, and plans for the future. The Junior-Senior course was based on such topics as concep- tion of vocations, careers, preparation for vocations, debate, gen- eral qualities of successful employees, value of apprentice training. applying for positions, keeping a job, business methods, essentials for obtaining credit, new problems away from home, what we owe our parents, and citizenship. Although many of us expected vocational guidance to be a rather dry subject, I think we all have enjoyed it considerably. We feel that it has been a help to personal improvement and that it will be a help in securing employment. Many schools in larger states have adopted a Vocational Training Course for seniors and we thought we would try it this year. It has been very successful at Pennell and the following girls have had the opportunity to secure training. : Shorthand and Office Work ............. Jane Eaton Library Work a- Esther Libby Maid Work ..... . June Whitney Phone Operator a E Phyllis Nason Physical Education Work ................

Mr. Richards is the instructor for the senior boys, the junior and sophomore boys are instructed by Mr. Record. while the freshmen boys are under the supervision of Mr. Loiko. Vocational Guidance period is held every Friday morning from 8:35 to 9:05. The seniors spent the first part of the year choosing a vocation. After they had selected their vocation they studied booklets, that are in our school files, listing the qualifications of most vocations. The student finds the amount of education, sub- jects necessary, advantages, disadvantages, salaries, and chances of placement in the work he has chosen. For further information he converses with his instructor who advises him of what he should proceed to do. We also discuss personality, its application to apply- ing for positions, and how important it is every minute of our lives. Some of the topics discussed by the juniors and sophomores in the class are the qualities of an ideal worker, how to study a voca- tion, discussion of specific occupations, study and practise of in- terviews, and the correct way to make out application forms. The freshmen discuss many different items such as school spirit, good manners in assembly halls, punctuality—not only in school but in business—, sportsmanship, cooperation in school as well as out. They also discussed hobbies, spare time activities, and part time jobs. Many schools outside of Maine have provided Vocational training for seniors. This year Pennell adopted the plan, and the following boys have been given an opportunity for work training: Shorthand and Office Work .... Donald F. Hall Filling Station Experience ........ Vernon Pollard Physical Education Work ..... Donald B. Hall Donald F. Hall, Almon Hall The school hopes to be able to provide more training before the end of the year. Donato Е. HALL, '41 GLEE CLUB When the Pennell Glee Club was first started this year under the direction of Miss Spencer, many students, both boys and girls went out for it. The glee club hasn't progressed as rapidly this vear as last because of the loss of so many fine voices by graduation. Some of the activities in which it took part were the Christmas Pageant and the Annual Concert. The students also sang in church on Children's Sunday. We have enjoyed glee club this year and we sincerely hope to continue with it in the years to come.

Standing, left to right—Harold Cooper, Henderson Beal, Mr. Richards (director), Phillip Kupelian, Milo Cummings. ORCHESTRA Orchestra began this vear with the following instrumentation : violins, Esther Libby and Kathleen Sawyer; accordion, Phillip Kupelian; clarinet, Ethel Tripp; trombone, Helen Russell; saxo- phone, Henderson Beal; trumpets, Neal Merrill and Milo Cum- mings; drums, Jane Eaton and Harold Cooper; piano, Merilyn Cole; director, S. Earle Richards. The orchestra played at the beginning of the year at an all- school Sunday at the Congregational Church. During the year Neal Merrill, Milo Cummings, Phillip Kupe- lian, Merilyn Cole, and Henderson Beal have received extensive training in solo and small group work by playing often in public. The annual concert of the Pennell musical organization will take place in the latter part of May. Intensive rehearsals are now under way in preparation for the event. Shortly after the concert, the orchestra will perform at both class day and graduation exercises. However, since so many of the seniors are in the orchestra, it is probable that the music for graduation marching will be played on the piano by Merilyn Cole. 'The musical year has been a very pleasant and profitable one, but, since so many of the orchestra members are graduating this June, an orchestra will be a hard thing to form next year unless more Pennell students begin to study on some musical instrument. Рни� ар KurELIAN, '41 N С� Tar WHIRLPOOL ARTS AND CRAFTS What shall I do with my leisure time? This is a problem that faces every individual. Most of us prefer spending leisure hours doing something we enjoy, and in Arts and Crafts the units are so divided that there is some project of interest for everyone. Some of the craft problems carried on by the students are block printing, plastics, leathercraft, tooling metal, Keene Cement, wood carving, finger painting, charcoal sketching, crayonex linens and needlework. Such freedom of choice gives us an opportunity to express our own ideas and abilities. We are continually interested in making new projects not only in school but also at home, and there is а possibility some of these craft problems may develop into real hobbies which will give us no end of pleasure throughout life. Estuer Lipsy, '41 THE PENNELL VARSITY CLUB Although it has been a busy year for most members, and we have not often stuck our heads in the clubhouse door, we carefully file this report to show all interested that we have far from dis- banded. Our officers this year were as follows: President, Donald B. Hall; Vice-President, Phillip Kupelian; Secretary, James John- son; Treasurer, Neal Merrill; Chief Sergeant-at-Arms, Donald F. Hall; other Sergeants, Edgar Dauphineé, Vernon Pollard, and Earle Glass. As for entertainments, the club put on a roller-skating party, a sleigh-ride, and.a skating party. The sleigh-ride, something not tried before by the club, was so successful that we may, if there is time this spring, have a sort of sleigh-ride on wheels with swim- ming, moonlight, and hot-dogs. We want to express our appreciation to Mr. Loiko, our con- siderate chaperon, not only for his help in sponsoring the club, but also for his fine leadership. As it is yet too early to report on our real spring doings, we finish up this report by saying that we hope to have a few new members this May, two of whom will be Earle Wilson and Milo Cummings. The Inner Sanctuary Initiation will be held soon after the letters have been awarded.

BASKETBALL We had a very successful team this year as 15 shown Бу the fact that we placed second in our league after giving Greely a hard rub. In the first few games we couldn't seem to get a very good start, although all the games were very close with the opposing team winning by only two or three points each time. Donald B. Hall was the star for the Pennell team. He scored more points than any other player in the Triple C division with an average of 17 points per game with twenty-one games plaved. This year we have a new coach, Mr. Loiko. We know that our success this year was due to his careful training. The boys out for basketball this year were Donald B. Hall. Donald F. Hall, James Johnson, Neal Merrill, Vernon Pollard. and Phillip Kupelian, seniors; Roland Humphrey, junior; Earle Wilson, Milo Cummings, Martin Lashua, Arnold Hall, and Giles 30 THE WHIRLPOOL Carr, sophomores; Clifford Purinton and Robert Purinton, fresh- men; Manager, Raymond Field. Standish nipped Pennell in the playoff game at the Gorham Normal School for the berth in the Class D tournament. It was a close game for the first half, but Standish went ahead in the third quarter, Pennell made a hard attempt to catch up in the last period but the clock wouldn’t wait. Results of League games— PENNELL 36 FREEPORT 44 Both teams played a fine game but the Freeport boys were a bit too much. As all our games were, this was a very close struggle all the way. PENNELL 44 GREELY 28 This was a splendid game with all the Pennell boys plaving for all they were worth. Donald B. Hall showed the fans some unbelievably fancy shooting while the rest of the boys were all fighting for the rebounds. PENNELL 28 FREEPORT 26 This was about the closest game that we played. There were very few times during the g ame that there were more than two or three points difference in the score. Earle Wilson made the final push-up shot that won the game. PENNELL 35 М. Ү.

PENNELL 18 GREELY 38 This game was postponed earlier in the season. Pennell made its final bid for the league race and lost to a very fast straight shooting team. The Greely team had to fight hard, but the Pennell boys were slightly off the beam as far as hitting the basket went. А couple of games were played with Greely before the league started and the results were as follows: PENNELL 22 GREELY 23 This was a very exciting game with quite a lot of fouls called on both teams. Donald B. Hall was high point man. It was a close game all the way, with first one team ahead then the other. THe WHIRLPOOL 31 PENNELL 39 GREELY 24 Pennell was going at top speed in this game. Donald B. Hall outscored th e whole Greely team with 28 points. After the game a social was enjoyed by all. Other practice games were played with many other schools. Some of these were Cape Elizabeth (2), Casco (3), Scarboro (2), Falmouth (2), Windham (1), Porter (2), and the playoff game with Standish. Three games were played with the Alumni, all of which were very close at the final gun.

The first game was played at Pennell, and we went to town hy winning with a 12-0 margin. The second game was played at Casco. We were not so fortu nate in this game, for Casco won after a hard tussle, 7-2. We had no uniforms, so the boys took some of the old Бара! uniforms and made them over.

INDOOR TRACK This year we scheduled two dual meets with Scarboro and one with Gorham besides the regular Triple C meet. The first meet with Scarboro was held in Scarboro. We lost to a fine group of trackmen, 40-28. The next meet was with Scarboro at Pennell. We came a little closer to them this time and only lost by ten points. The final score was 39-29. The Wednesday betore the Triple C meet Gorham came over to try their skill. Pennell won this meet by a good margin, 54 5-6 to 13 1-6. Pennell came within 514 points of Falmouth, the winner of the Triple C meet. Two of the Pennell boys broke records in this meet. Earle Glass cut the old record in the rope climb down to 7 4-5 seconds, while Donald F.

ARLENE PERRY ә q (кеси THEIR FIRST ANNIVERSARY ТЕ was almost twilight as two men passed the First National Bank and paused at an adjoining corner. “Looks like а cinch,” said Slats, as he appraised the neighbor- ing building. Perfect, asserted Mickey. As Mickey lit a cigaret, he glanced down the side strect at a sign above the first store back of the bank. Tt read: “STOP-N- EAT BAKESHOP.” “Come on,” growled Mickey. “Nobody's around.” The bakeshop, which was decorated lavishly, had a long counter for cafe service with two large glass cases full of baked goods adjoining it. The two suspicious characters sat down at the counter and Slats eased his heavy satchel to the floor. “We'll have nice company for this job, Mickey,” muttered Slats, eying the red-haired girl who was coming from the kitchen toward the counter. Excuse me. the girl called. laughing and holding up both hands to show they were covered with flour. “Ве with you in a moment. “Doughnuts and coffee, ordered Mickey. “Same here,’ ed Slats. The red-head served their coffee, went to the kitchen, and re- turned with four doughnuts. “Freshly íried; she explained. As she smiled, Mickey remembered a string of pearls in New York. Considering that I haven't seen you two around before, you must be strangers, the girl ventured. Sort of, replied Mickey. We're bank examiners. We had vour First National scheduled here for today. “But the bank has been closed for an hour. It's after 4 o'clock. Mickey shrugged his shoulders. We have to work after hours a great deal. It’s a boring job—the same old grind, day after day. Slats started to grin, then stiffened. A freckled boy of about ten was standing in the doorway. “What time tonight, Sally?” he inquired. “Stop at 5:30, Tommy,” she answered. Jim's working late—apple pie night, you know. “My husband works in the telegraph office down the street,” Sally explained to the two customers. “He's the operator. Usually z , grunt- THE WHIRLPOOL 39 he eats supper here, but when he has to work late I send Tommy over with a doughnut or pie— “And tonight he has to work late? inquired Mickey so sud- denly that Sally glanced at him suspiciously. “Yes, until eight.” Mickey finished his doughnuts. “Well, you won't be lonesome. We'll be here. The girl flashed a pair of startled blue eyes, and Slat's right hand went into his pocket. “I wouldn't scream, Mickey warned. ‘“He’d just as soon do it as not. He lifted the satchel and carried it into the kitchen. Com- ing back he sat down beside Slats. “You're a smart girl. Got any money in the bank next door? N-no. “Good. Then you won't mind if we use your kitchen while we examine it. А� уо� е else work here? “No. But ГИ have customers. You can’t—” Shut up and run this place as if nothing was the trouble. What time do you close ? Six o'clock. OK. Listen. If anyone comes in, act natural and don't try any funny business. The three went back to the kitchen. Mickey looked around the room and finally placed a chair near the stove and sat down. “The way we figure this little job, there's about a foot of brick and a hunk of steel between this room and the bank, mumbled Mickey. He drew a blue automatic from his pocket and laid it carelessly on his knee. Get up front, he ordered the girl. And stay where I can watch you. Got a radio? She nodded. Then turn it on good and loud,” snarled Mickey. “Get goin’ Slats.” ТЕ was a matter of seconds before Slats had a hammer, an assortment of chisels, and a tiny acetylene torch ready for action. Sally came back to the kitchen. I hope you don't mind if I finish the pie my husband is expecting. “Со ahead, but make it where I can watch you. Sally was almost in tears as she rolled the dough for the apple pie; for today was their first wedding anniversary and Jim had to work late and couldn't even have a short vacation—and now this. As Sally deliberately cut the air holes in the crust she could feel Mickey's little black eyes upon her. When she carried the pie back to the oven, dust was rising from the huge hole Slats had cut in the brick wall. Sally waited on several customers and answered the phone a couple of times. Each time Mickey would raise his automatic from his knee. At 5:30 Tommy banged the front door and charged in. “Wait a minute,” said Sally as she started for the kitchen and returned with the pie. Without wrapping it up she handed it to 40 Tue WHIRLPOOL the boy and told him to be careful, for it was Jim’s anniversary present from her. When Tommy was gone, Mickey got up and watched Slats beat in the last layer of bricks. Taking the torch with him, Slats squirmed through the hole and soon the hissing of the torch was to be heard. As Mickey looked at his watch he said grinning, “In 20 minutes you close the shop—In 30 we'll be on our way and you'll be tied up. Mickey stuck his head through the hole and watched Slats for a while. When he heard the íront door open, he slid back to his chair to watch Sally. He heard a man's voice. Just a dozen doughnuts this time, Sally. There was a sound at the open window behind Mickey, and he turned to see a shotgun pointed at him. Mickey dived behind the stove, then felt a gun muzzle jammed hard against his neck. He dropped his automatic and turned to see the sheriff reaching for a pair of handcuffs in his hip pocket. Slats! Mickey screamed a warning. He heard the torch drop, and quick footsteps going to the front of the bank. “Tt won't do him any good to try to get away, grinned the sheriff. The place is surrounded. In a minute Slats was herded in before two policemen and a dozen townspeople. In the group was a blond youth with a wide grin, and he was carrying a pie. He kissed Sally and turned to Mickey. Pretty smart, he snickered, looking at the hole in the wall. Tata: so dumb, Mickey sneered. Who tipped you off—the kid?” Nope, laughed Jim and shoved the apple pie under Mickey's nose. Ever see air holes cut in the telegraph code? Instead of the usual love message, what does she write? ‘SOS BANK ROB- BERY. Smart wife don't you think? Doxarp Е. Hatt, '41 THE DANCING APPARITION Duke arrived at the dance shortly after the gala evening had begun, joined the stag line, and started looking the crowd over for a partner. The December wind howled and shrieked outside, the building creaked and groaned, and somewhere a loose shutter banged against the side of the hall. It was a gloomy night out and despite the hit jazz music of the local band, once in a while one would catch a furtive glance toward the door or one of the big windows. Across the floor from the youth a wan miss sat alone watching the dancers. Duke strode over and bowed before her. Would you care to dance? he asked. The maiden coyly consented, and they THE WHIRLPOOL 41 drifted in and out among the other couples, speaking very little on the first dance. As the evening wore on Duke danced more and more often with the beautiful girl, and although he did not find out her name or where she had come from, they became a little more friendly and talked of many things. Often she talked of a strange faraway place that she said she must return to soon. Duke noticed that she had smiled infrequently, and, as it grew late, she seemed to grow more sad. Sensing that something was wrong, he asked her repeatedly what the trouble was but for an answer each time he only received a quick look from the seemingly frightened girl. As they danced together on the last dance, Duke asked for the privilege of taking his companion home. After a long pause the girl answered, “All right, where is your car ? and started for the door. Amazed was he at learning that the girl had no coat, had faced the icy blasts of winter clad in a light frock. He placed his own overcoat over her and drove to the address she had whispered. Ar- riving there, she asked that he remain in the automobile until she could tell her mother she had returned. But as the time passed and the girl failed to return to the car, our gallant, intent at least on recovering his coat, rapped on the front door. A middle-aged lady answered his summons. He in- formed her of events, meanwhile watching mounting conster- nation register on the woman's face. But my daughter has been dead for three years, she finally faltered. “Come with me and I will show you her picture.” Only one look did the youth take at the colored photograph, then insisted, That's the girl. But I'll take you to the cemetery and show you her grave, the lady promised. They drove there, stopping finally before a large white head- stone. Hanging .. . as a shroud over the stone . . . was his coat. James Jounson, '41 BACK-SEAT DRIVING Back-seat driving is a subject which has universal appeal. Everyone probably at some time in his driving experience has had the opportunity of enjoying the benefits and, may I add, the in- conveniences of a back seat driver. My mother fulfills all the char- acteristics of a good back-seat driver. Although she is very quick and likes to get things done in a hurry in every day life, she always drives at the same rate of speed and religiously observes all traffic regulations. Incidentally, I should explain that I drive somewhat faster than she thinks is advisable. р Well, anyway, last weck my mother and I went in town. The traveling was just slippery enough to give her the perpetual jitters. I had driven about five or ten miles when the voice of authority 42 Tur WmnmrinrPOOL asked, Don't you think you are driving too fast on this slippery road ? I quietly said I didn't think so, but I varied the speed a little so as not to permit any further helpful suggestions. As I came in view of the top of a hill, the voice suggested that I should slow down considerably because the hill might not be graveled. А few minutes had elapsed when I was informed tnat I was approaching a curve. I very politely answered that I knew the road very well, and 1 was well aware of the curve. In between suggestions, I glanced at the fuel guage and man- aged to let my back-seat driver know that I needed some gas. I came to a stop at the next gas station. The attendant came out and asked, How many, please? And I, seeing my chance for revenge, pointed to the back- seat and exclaimed, Ask her. She's driving!” In spite of the odds being against me, I reached my destination without a scratch. Рниыр Kupevian, '41 NOVICE IN THE KITCHEN The following article should serve as a warning to all men who regard themselves as novices in the kitchen ... Wife goes away to her mother's for a week. Her last words re-echo in your ears, “Now don't try to get your meals at home; be sure to buy something hot in the cafeteria. After a few days of cafeteria meals, a yen for home-cooked meals develops. As you shamble leisurely home from work an idea dawns . . . why not cook something at home? Then proceed home. On the way home make a hasty visit to the book store to obtain a cook book. Arrive home and enter the doorway of the kitchen. Take a deep breath and plunge into numerous drawers and cupboards. A mad search for the required articles ensues. After scrambling hither and yon for several minutes, finds every- thing but one article. Then wonder absently if the resulting mass would be edible if you left out that one article. The actual cooking now begins. Dump everything and start mixing. After a while concede that it is a rather peculiar color and viscosity, but the spirit does not wane. Later see that the progress has stopped in the mixing bowl so cease mixing and shove into the oven. Heave a sigh and sit down patiently to wait. Suddenly there occurs an ominous hissing sound from the oven. Presently the sound abruptly stops. Quickly run to the door and yank it open... BLITZKRIEG! Apparently the dish has boiled over on the electric elements and blown a fuse. Utter a few nicely phrased words; slam oven door and head for cafeteria. HENDERSON BEAL, '41 Tue WHIRLPOOL 43 а U жы. THE LEGEND OF THE IVORY BRACELET It was the most beautiful courtyard I had ever seen. It was like fairyland and it retained all the pomp and splendor of old India. In the center of the courtyard was a glass case. In this case, lying on a velvet cushion, was a magnificently carved bracelet of ivory. The bracelet attracted my attention because people from all ranks of life were bowing in humble devotion before it. I con- sulted my English friend about the history of the bracelet and, as he told me the following story, I was swept back through time to early India where I paused to look on as this beautiful tragic story was unfolded before my eyes. It was almost midnight and the full tropical moon floated lazily along its sky-trail, reflecting its weird light on the still jungle below. All was silent except for the continuous roar of the river as it sped along over the rough crags on its way to the sea. Now and then the stillness was broken by the roar of a tiger or the trumpet call of an elephant, calling to its mate. High above the mysterious jungle on a rocky hill stood the palace of Maharajah, ruler of the north Indian province of Suri- stani. The palace courtyard looked more like midday than nearly midnight, as elephants were being brought into line and seats were being placed on their backs. Mahouts were chaining the elephants together and many score servants were loading them with rifles and spears and knives. Although all were hustling and apparently accustomed to their tasks, a certain tenseness hung over the scene and all spoke in animated whispers. Suddenly, all moved back against the walls and knelt as the Maharajah in all the glory of an Indian prince appeared. His guard of honor in gay uniforms followed close behind and the priest brought up the rear. A servant appeared in the doorway and beck- oned the Maharajah. After a discussion the Maharajah gave his consent to the servant's request. Shortly after, a girl about eighteen appeared in the courtyard. She was tall and slender, with dark eyes and hair and а smooth olive complexion. She wore a plain black velvet cape, and no jewelry except a small, finely carved ivory bracelet. She was the Maharajah's only daughter, and her wish was his command. At the sight of her, uneasiness swept over the party, and a stubborn expression crept over the face of the high priest, for it was a well known fact that a girl on a hunt would bring an evil curse. The girl approached her father, knelt in reverence and re- spect, and then started for the nearest elephant. At this point the priest interfered. He yelled, “No” very suddenly. The girl turned inquiringly to her father, who, with an angry gesture, summoned the high priest to his side. 44 THE WHIRLPOOL A heated argument followed because the high priest hated his ruler too much to yield at once. Suddenly the Maharajah’s mighty voice boomed out, She is no curse, I say she shall go and by the grace of Brahma she shall!” The priest, who was about to answer, thought better of it, and walked suddenly to his elephant to wait the departure. Twelve strokes came from the oriental gong, and the natives knelt in silent prayer; then they rose and mounted silently. The palace gates opened and the party passed through them. Down the treacherous trail into the jungle walked the elephants. Just before dawn the party reached the small village of Rhutan at the very door of the tiger country. On into the tiger infested area swept the party. Shortly after this the party reached its destination. Here they rested until night- fall. About midnight the hunters took their elephants and pre- pared for the night's work. The first hunting party was successful, so the Maharajah allowed his daughter to go on the next one. But on this trip several of the men were lost. This vanishing of the men continued for a week and was climaxed by the disappearance of one entire group with the exception of the priest. In their anger the natives threatened to kill the Maharajah unless he sent his daughter back to the palace alone. The Maharajah refused, but his daughter pleaded that if he did not let her go the rest of the party would be destroyed. Finally the Maharajah con- sented and the girl started home. A few hours after the girl left, a few of the lost party returned and revealed that it was the high priest and not the girl who had brought the evil curse. The party immediately set out after the girl but a tiger had claimed her. АП that remained was the tiny ivory bracelet, that the girl's father had had made from the tusk of the first elephant she had captured. Her father took the bracelet and for many years it was kept in a glass case in front of the palace where natives came to worship it. At the death of the Maharajah the bracelet was lost and tragedy and famine stalked the land. A few years later the bracelet was found and the people prospered once more. Although the natives have been offered huge fortunes for the bracelet, they remain steadfast in their belief, that should the brace- let slip from their hands, their kingdom would crumple and fall as their princess had so many years аро... SnuigLEY Kucu, '43 Tur WHIRLPOOL 45 THE MADE-OVER HOUSE This isn't such a bad house. It's a little like a made-over dress, good, but not like a new one. The living room is very cozy, especially when there is a che ery fire blazing in the fireplace. This big un- finished chamber is rather bare, but it has a comfortable bed. Isn't it bright moonlight out tonight! But what's this I sce out here on the lawn? It looks as if I had company. What a strange collection of people. What are they doing here, and why do they come so late at night? They look familiar, but I've never seen them before. Мак... I begin to recognize some of them. I've never seen them, but my mother has told me about them many times. They are the people who went to school in the house before it was made over into a little bungalow. That little girl was blind in one eye all her life because someone threw a crust of bread and hit her. This red-headed boy once was ordered to stand on a certain board and not move from it. A moment later he was at the other end of the room. When the teacher growled, I thought I told you to stand on that board, he replied innocently, You didn't say I had to stand on that end of it. Why look! The living room has changed back into the old school room. There are the battered and scarred old desks, and here is the old stove that smoked so conveniently on days when the sliding was good. And that poor, weary old man... he was once a teacher. He used to go home every night nearly exhausted because the boys would climb up into the rafters and he would go up and chase them down. This used to go on all day. The poor sucker! There was another boy who used to be here. He liked to go play with his friends. One day his mother wanted him to stay at home for a change. You can't walk down to Johnny's house again. An hour later he was at Johnny's house as usual. “T thought I told you not to walk down there again. “T didn't walk down there. I crawled. This particularly meek and innocent looking fellow was the one who set a pail of water above the door in such a way that when the dear, dignified teacher walked in he was . . . well, less dignified. Say, what's going on here? Where'd I get this funny looking dress with its stiff collar, its striped blouse, and its skirt that would sweep the floor better than any broom. And what am I doing, sit- ting at this desk? Why are they all coming in? I must be the teacher, but what am I supposed to do when they get here? They've all come in now, and I know what I can do. I feel mean ; I'd like to hurt someone. Here's a leather strap on the desk. I might as well make use of it. Who... Ah! I like, I mean I don't 46 Tne WHIRLPOOL like that boy in the front row, and the little man with three big freckles that cover almost all of his face. I'm going to hit him. I'm going to hit him. But what's that in his hand? A pail of water. And he's going to throw it at me. He's throwing it... Oh! What happened? Т didn't know it was raining. The roof would have to leak right over my head. Oh well, ГИ just move over and go back to sleep. I guess the made-over house needs a little fixing... Herten Russet, ‘41 THE ROAD HOG Oh, the road hogs! What a nuisance they are on the highway! Did you just ask what these road hogs look like? Well, these specimens of humanity vary a great deal in color, shape, and size but there is one characteristic they all have in common—a very exaggerated head. Beca use of their limited intellectual capacity, when they get on the road, they cling stubbornly to the center. When vou, an ex- perienced driver, meet one you should pull to the right as far as possible and proceed with utmost caution. Don’t forget to put your hands over your ears when you pass, because they (the mas- culine element) will utter all the squeaking and unpleasant noises imaginable. Although the male road hog is extremely noisy, the female of this race is reasonably quiet, but beware of the silence; for what isn’t said in words is made up for in looks, which surely are enough to kill. Now after an extended study of road hogs, I have come to the conclusion that there is only one recipe for their cure. The follow- ing recipe is the only one to my knowledge that ever has been written, take: (1) One road hog who has just bought himself a new Hudson. (2) One Model A Ford. (3) One driver for the Ford. Place the road hog in the Hudson (if he has had a little liquor it helps the matter) and place on the road the Hudson, going at a safe speed of about seventy miles an hour. Put the other road hog in the Ford on the same road so that the Ford and Hudson will meet on a straight of way. Crash! Bang! After the matter, or should I say batter, has been thoroughly mixed, remove the “has-been” road hogs from the wreck, garnish with flowers and place in a very conspicuous place for other young- er road hogs to view when they go out for a joy ride. К� умохр FrirLp, '41 THE WHIRLPOOL A FRESHMAN’S FIRST SHAVE When but a lad, I always thought What fun it was to shave a lot, Just like my father did each morn With shiny razor, keen and long, Then came that grand and glorious day, When I found hair to shave away. I jumped and cried, “Oh mother dear, Please come to see what I have here; See all the fuzz beneath my nose, No, that’s not dirt, that’s hair, by jove; Oh, boy! I’m gonna shave right now Before it grows back in somehow.” I found my father’s shaving cream But gosh, I started wrong, it seems; I squeezed a half a tube too much And tried to put it back——no luck; Then when I lathered up my íace, It spread all over to my waist. It covered up my mouth and eyes, And muffled all my shrieks and cries; I walked around to find the cloth To wipe the stickey suds all off. But I got lost and struck a door Right on my head. Gad! how I swore. To make things worse or just for spite, I stepped on soap and slipped just right; I hit the tub with all my might, And fell right in clear out of sight. The water rose with a splashing sound Oh, Gracious me! I almost drowned. Then, taking up again my task I worked the razor fine at last ; I had some trouble with my gills, My Adam's apple wouldn't stay still ; That's nearly gone I hate to say, I didn't need it anyway; My luck was better with my ear, I've still got half of it right here. No more I'll praise those slaves who shave, I know the strain they bear; ГИ pray and say to them, “Ве brave, Iil you run out of hair.

They decided that each day one of them would provide the food and the other two prepare it. The second day Hitchcock, whose turn it was to provide meat, raced through the camp with a bear close behind him. “Here comes the food, he screamed, without slowing down. Grab him and skin him while I go back for another. Francis Small (holding his cupped hands together): “Guess what I've got in my hands. Lee Mitchel: The Empire State Building. Francis: Naw-—that's too big. Guess again.” Lee: “А horse. Francis: “Awww - - - you peeked.” A man just bought a new overcoat and the clerk said, Now when you get home, take your coat out of the box and put it on a coat-hanger. A few days later the clerk met the customer and asked, How does the new coat feel?” “The coat feels fine but the darn coat-hanger keeps knocking my hat off. A man in a restaurant called over to the waiter and said, Let me have a cup of coffee without cream. And the waiter said, I'm sorry, Mister but we're out of cream. Is it all right if I give it to you without milk ? Ruth Smith: I want a man who doesn't smoke, drink, swear, or philander.” Ethel Tripp: What for? 50 THe WHIRLPOOL “I know a girl who plays piano by ear. “That’s nothing.

Because it's much harder for the cow to sit on the small bottles. Johnny: I can't stand a girl having a lot of rouge on her lips.
