SENIOR KEPOKT Wuen we began our last and fateful vear here, we took inventorv, and found that we had oniv twelve members. We missed seeing Shirley, Bob and Cliff Purinton here at school. The two boys are now serving Uncle Sam and Shirley is residing in Portland. Louiza was the only new comer to our class and has been a great asset. At the beginning of the year we elected the following class officers: President..........Colleen Blake Vice President.....Emily Maxwell’ Secretary... ..««««Louiza Douvielle Treasuretr.o..o. o. Merilyn Cole Class Advisor......Mr. Dempsey We elected the following for the Student Council: Ethel Tripp, Walter Stewart, with Harold Cooper taking over after Walter left. At mid-years Walter Stewart left us to go into the Army, and Leon Hitchcock left for the Navy. Harold Cooper has been sworn into the Navy, but is on the inactive list until graduation. The girls who went out for basketball this year were: Colleen Blake, Clara Wilbur, Ethel Tripp, Merilyn Cole, and Janice Doughty. Since Harold Cooper is the only boy in the class, he had to do the honors as our basketball star. The following joined the Glee Club: Colleen Blake, Merilyn Cole, Louiza Douvielle, Emily Maxwell, Ethel Tripp, Marion Thompson and Harold Cooper. We feel sad at the thoughts of leaving the school at which we have had so many good times in the past four years, and have had our education; but we know that we are going out to our places in the world better prepared because of our stay here at Pennell.

JUNIOR NOTES The class of 145 began their school year with sixteen students, but now our number has diminished to fourteen. We had one new member, who was transferred from Thornton Academy», at the beginning of the year. We elected the following class officers: President..........Barbara Fossett Vice President..... Irving Verrill Secretary Treas..Alta Goff Student Council....Doris McDonald Richard Prince After Barbara Fossett left school (for one month), her office was assumed by Irving Verrill; and Carlton Skillings became the Vice President. Our class was fortunate in having several out for basket- ball. They were as follows: Girls: Allecia Wilbur; Doris McDonald. Boys: James Pollard; Carlton Skillings; Charles Dingwell and William Sanborn. As our class advisor, we have had Mrs. Dempsey since Miss Constantine resigned from the faculty. We held the annual Junior Prom, of which Barbara Fossett was chairman. It was the outstanding event of the year and a grand success. Our class has tried to make this year successful so that we may be worthy of being Seniors next year. Allecia Wilbur '45
