14 THE WHIRLPOOL in his great need, but now Mr. Timberlake has become acquainted with us and is carrying on very successfully in his place. One of Mr. Timberlake’s hardest jobs is keeping the active Sophomores quiet. However, next year we shall return again to continue another year at Pennell. We shall try our best to become Letter students, citizens, and Americans. CoLLEEN BLAKE. FRESHMAN ACTIVITIES The class of '45 started with an enrollment of twenty-one pupils. Because of some entries and withdrawals our class now numbers twenty. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers : JE! qo ere emm EET e ELIT CARLTON SKILLING PAGS TENTION eter NATHAN PAUL SOCT OI RT TES.

The girls in the Freshman class who went out for sports were Alta Goff, Norma Barker, Carley Crommett, and Doris McDonald. Alta Goff, Carley Crommett, and Doris McDonald were substi- tutes on the Basketball team. The boys who went out for sports were Carlton Skilling, James Pollard, Nathan Paul, and John Pollard. We are proud to mention that one boy from the Freshman class, Carlton Skilling, was a regular member of the Varsity Basketball Team. Nathan Paul, James Pollard, and John Pollard were substitutes. Only one member from the Freshman class, Alta Goff, was in the Orchestra. On October 1, 1941, the Freshman Reception was given by the Sophomore class. The Sophomores had us all rather worried before it began, but a good time was enjoyed by all those who attended. We of the Freshman class find that our year has been pleasant though perhaps we have not been outstanding in school activities. Now we are looking forward to next year and to our return as Sophomores. Doris McDONALD.

The last part of October the Seniors had a “try out for the roles in their drama, “А Pair of Country Kids. When the drama was presented on the stage we recognized as prominent members of the cast three Sophomores: Robert Purinton, as Hi Hawkins, the village pest; Harold Cooper, as A. Roomer, a guest at the Starr House; and Colleen Blake, as Sis Spooner, maid-of-all-work at the Starr House. АП tried their best to keep the audience laugh- ing and all of us enjoyed helping the Seniors present the drama. Now the committees for the booths are busily planning.
