There was one special event the Council had charge of. The sixth of February the Student

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.

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.

16 THE WHIRLPOOL Council took over the teachers’ places for the day. Each member had charge of a class, teaching the subject all period with no aid from the teachers. The day was a success and everyone enjoyed it. In November the Student Council Members went to Augusta for the annual meeting there. All the Student Council Members in the state were present. At this mecting we discussed different problems and talked with other members. One of our members. Arnold Hall, led an interesting discussion on Student Finance. We brought back many new ideas and are practicing some of them. The Student Council has tried to raise the standards of the school and promote responsibility on the part of the students. We feel that we have fulfilled many of our responsibilities success- fully, and we shall try the rest of this year to do our best at be- coming better students and Americans. CoLLEEN BLAKE. ARTS AND CRAFTS This year more students are taking Arts and Crafts. They have been doing various things, such as wood burning, wood carv- ing, finger painting, needlework, knitting bags, making waste- baskets, book-ends, and crepe paper mats. These projects are very interesting to the students, and some will, if continued outside of school, make interesting hobbies. Arts and Crafts not only gives the student new ideas for proj- ects, but also helps him to give expression to original ones. LUELLA Bovp.
