Tue WHIRLPOOL 11 SENIOR ACTIVITIES The class of 42 returned to Pennell this fall minus two mem- bers, leaving a grand total of seven “dignified seniors. The main room would have looked much larger if we hadn't had the five P. G's to help fill it. We elected Madeline Grant to represent us in the Student Council and chose the following class officers: Ruth Smith, Presi- dent; Mae Muzzy, Vice-President; Dorothy Colley, Secretary and Treasurer. In spite of our small class, we have been prominent in extra curricular activities. Three senior girls were on the regular bas- ketball team—Dorothy Colley, Mae Muzzy, and Ruth Smith. Badminton, volleyball, and softball were played and enjoyed by all. We were terribly disappointed because we couldn't take our annual trip to Washington, but Mr. Richards introduced a good substitute. He suggested we go to Boston for a few days. To secure money for our Boston Trip and graduation, we sold chances on defense stamps, had the annual Senior Fair, and reaped a good reward on our Class Play. In United States History Class is the only time at which we are all together (at one time there were only three of us). Even if the class of 742 is small, every one of us is proud of it; and as graduation rapidly approaches, we get a strange feeling deep down inside. Nevertheless, we are all looking forward to gradua- tion, but soon it will be all over: and no matter what vocation we choose, we shall always owe our success to the superb training we received at Pennell. Котн SMITH. SENIOR PLAY “A Pair of Country Kids” On November 27th and 28th the Senior Class presented the play, A Pair of Country Kids, a three-act comedy.

12 Tur WHIRLPOOL band number one, and Susan Grimes is looking for husband num- ber two. Hi Hawkins and Sis Spooner are a typical pair of coun- try kids in love. Philip West, a young lawyer, is in love with April, Mrs. Starr's daughter. There is much trouble about oily water, but everything turns out all right—Roomer is outwitted because of the worthless check Susan gives him. Lucindy finally accepts the heart of Ambrose, the local horse doctor, who has been wooing her for fifteen years. Susan is still left looking for a man. Much of the success of the play we owe to the juniors and sopho- mores who helped us produce it. RUTH SMITH.
