CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS There are advantages and disadvantages in the consolidation of schools. Using a high When four or towns agree to use this method they should build the school in a central location. Where the town schools have from fifty to a hun- dred students and a small variety of courses. the censolidated school would offer many more courses. If its opening enrollment will be four hundred pupils, it should be built to handle at least six hundred people, for as the generation comes, the population will indu- bitably grow larger. Ín later vears an addi- tion will probably be needed. school for example. five Classes could be divided into two divisions. The more inteligent ones in the A division, and those less fortunate in the B division: in this way the smart ones won't have to be held with the others as in the small schools. The problem of transportation enters the picture, but a little matter like that shouldn't hold back people who are interested in giving their children a better education. GORDON KIMBALI.. Ten JUVENILE DELINQUENCY Everyone wants to do something to pre- vent juvenile delinquency, but no one seems to do anything about и. Usually it starts when the child has no father. Sometimes the mother and father work, so they don't have time to bother about their children: consequently, they don't get the attention or mothering which they need. If the child is left alone during the day, he may go to school as he should, or he may get in with a gang of older children whose chief pastime is stealing or destroving property. One might expect to find most of the delin- quent cases in the slums but this is not true: oíten it is when the parents have too much money, and the child isn't allowed to go out unless he is watched and constantly told that boys and girls of his class just don't do this and don't do that. mother or Our criminals cost each voter far than we pay for education. Crime is four- teen per cent higher than it was in 1945. Juvenile delinquency is an epidemic. We nust clean aut the swamps that breed it. We must organize gangs into clubs; give them understanding, sympathy. and education. There should be more jobs for older children and more recreation for younger ones. Dut. remember this, the Г. D. I. fears the crime rate will rise. We must try to do everything possible to prevent this. 1f we cut down on delinquency, we cut down on thefts, taxes. and insurance. тоге Коти JENKINS.

You know we've got to get home before dark. Dave glanced up from the bobsled, to which were hitched two restless bay Per- cherons. “Gee whiz, Arnold! I’ve loaded every- thing on so far. If you want those darn skins youll load them yourself. And also, for your information, we're leaving as soon as I get ready and not before.” Finally, after much bickering and hurry- ing. the two boys were ready. Dave picked up the reins and the red bob slid out of the yard of the old lumber camp. Dave and Arnold were two Canadian boys, seventeen and eighteen. They had hunted ever since they could held a gun, but this had been their first real hunting trip. They had been at the lumber camp at Merrimachi for two weeks and the sled now held the bodies oÍ two deer, as evidence of their luck. As the horses trotted along through the snow Arnold gave a worried glance at the sky. “You know, Dave, I don't like the looks of the weather. I'm afraid well run into a storm before we reach home,” he said. Dave had hardly had time to agree before a small white flake landed on his shoulder. He let the horses go into a guicker pace. They still had forty-five miles to go before night came. Merrimachi was only a small settlement in the wilderness. An hour later. the snow was coming down steadily. The wind blew harder and Dave and Arnold bent their heads to the wind and pulled the deerskins around them. When T и elve they reached the crossroads. Dave slowed down the horses. “Say, Arnold,” he shouted, raising his voice above the howling wind, “which road do we take? The left one, don't we? I think so, Arnold replied. Dave turned the horses down the leít road, but the horses immediately stopped. Get up there! he shouted. “This is a hell of a time to get balky.” Не brought the reins down on their backs with a resounding whack which made both horses spring forward. but plainly against their will. About half an hour later Dave began to doubt his own judgement. The road gradu- ally dwindled down into nothing but air over- grown trail. He looked despairingly at Arnold and stopped the horses. Well. what now? he asked. “This is plainly not the right road. Arnold suggested turning back and start- ing out again at the crossroads — but it was snowing so hard that it was impossible to see any tracks. Finally, they decided to leave it up to the horses. They turned them around, then let the reins lie loose. The horses immediately turned to the right and started across what evidently was a field. Knowing that they were completely off the road now, Dave reached for the reins, but was stopped by Arnold who told him that the horses could certainly not get them lost any worse than they already were. Dave finally resigned and settled down to keeping warm. The two horses plowed on through the snow, evidently very sure of where they were going. The two boys wished that they, too. were às sure. Suddenly something huge and dark loomed up through the dimness. Dave and Arnold rose to their feet. The horses seemed to realize that they had done their part so they stopped. Through the falling snow showed the famaliar shape of a house. Both boys lei out a cheer as they recognized the farm of their friend, Mr. Andrews. They leaped off the sled when Mrs. Andrews opened the door. “Hello. Who is it?” she called out. Dave and Arnold ran up to the door and grected her. Mrs. Andrews told them to stable their horses and then come into the house and have some hot chocolate. After their chores were done they returned to the house to tell the Andrews their story. Mrs. Andrews smiled as she listened. “You know, boys.” she said, “those two horses were raised on this farm. No matter where they are, they always head back here.” The next morning the snow had stopped so the boys again started out on their way: this time more sure of reaching their desti- nation. FAE WILSON. NATURE'S ARTIST Jack Frost, dressed in his red hat, green Jacket, yellow pants, and long brown shoes with turned up toes is busy at work again. Gayly racing over hills and valleys, with his brush and pallet, he brings a new dress for every tree. He works swiftly and silently. from the highest to the lowest branch, big trees and small. A dab of red. a touch of yellow, a splash of orange; and a wonderful transformation takes place. Working while everyone else is asleep, he throws a blanket of milky-white frost over the fields, and paints frost pictures on your windows, beautiful designs no one could copy. No artist’s work can compare with this magic spell he paints over the country side. When the snow begins to fall, he curls up in a hollow tree trunk on a bed of his newly decorated leaves and falls asleep ‘til the next fall. VioraA НАТСИ. PENNELL INSTITUTE “BABE” GETS REVENGE Babe Johnson had been out of prison two days. He had, in those two days, formu- lated a plan for revenge. The object of his vengeance was District Attorney Whitmore. Whitmore was the man who had put the “Dabe” behind bars. Now, he would pay. “Babe” had served six years: too long a time to forget about. Johnson had collected materials for the carrying out of his plan. All was in readiness. It was on Friday, the thirteenth of Septem- ber, that “Babe” went through with his idea. Eleven o'clock at night, Babe put his equipment in a black satchel and went to Whitmore's house. In the satchel he had dynamite, caps, and wire. In his pocket were a flashlight, jackknife and a .38 caliber auto- matic for emergency. At Whitmore's home, “Babe” jimmied a cellar window open and climbed in. Snap- ping on his flashlight, he looked the cellar over. Yes, this was perfect. Over in the corner was that which he looked for — the electric meter. Babe worked swiftly. He wired the meter, put the caps on the dynamite, and connected it to the wired meter. That was perfect. When Whitmore woke up and turned on a light, the meter dial would turn. When that happened the dynamite would ex- plode. “Babe” put away his tools and started for the window. Patrolman O'Reilly was walking his beat half a block from the D. A.'s house. At eleven fifteen P. M., the whole world seemed to burst asunder. A livid sheet of flames shot fifty feet into the air. The noise was deafen- ing: the ground trembled and shook. Whit- more's house was blown to bits: Whitmore and “Варе” Johnson were both killed. “Babe's” handiwork had been ingenious. Nothing had gone wrong except that “Babe” didn't Know that the D. A. had an electric refrigerator. It started as “Babe” was going out the window. Austin Kvcu. Thirteen THE “KAYAKING” Kayak—an Eskimo canoe ; usually of seal- skins and completely decked, the covering heing laced about the paddler. I shall never forgive Mr. Webster for that definition. But, then again, maybe he never tried to paddle one of those banana- shaped eggshells he refers to when he talks of kayaks. I accomplished the task. (period) It took me two weeks, several duckings, and a little million blisters. Oh, it's not that I hold anything against kayaks. In fact, Oswald (that's the kayak’s name), was a very pretty, well behaved kayak, if he happened to take a liking to you. Oswald and I got along fine the first day or two. The two of us would glide over the water, Oswald's beautiful baby blue skin shining, and his maple stained paddles slip- ping in and out of the water while I received a beautiful sun tan. But the third day. Oswald was cross. He didn't feel like riding so — Oswald capsized and I found myself looking at the lake bottom instead of the sky. Oswald went drifting along and lodged him- self on a rock, just out of spite. while I swam for shore. The fourth day. I decided not to go out as it was raining “cats and dogs. The fifth day, I went kayaking again, this time going way across the lake and back with no accidents. But oh! When once more on dry land — I have never before seen such beautiful blis- ters as I had on my hands. Well, I finally learned how to handle a kavak but it took a lot of courage. Sneaking of courage — the most courageous thing Oswald and I did this summer was to go over in front of the boys' camp and throw the paddles away. We had three counselors all about nineteen years of age help us home. Oswald enjoyed that so much! BARBARA NICHOLS. LET'S FACE IT In a college in the midwestern section of our country not long ago, as two American Fourteen DO O M == boys were walking across the campus, they met a Chinese boy, who was their classmate. Stopping him, one of the boys asked the Chinese student a guestion which had been puzzling him for some time. “Is it true that people in China eat birds’ nests?” The Chinese boy smiled and went on to explain how many things tend to make misunder- standings among countries and races. He concluded by saying, “My parents would be surprised if I were to write and tell them that Americans eat ‘hot dogs.” It is the little things such as this that have caused a great many of the problems of race prejudice. Economic differences also have a great deal to do with prejudices. Before the Civil War, in the South, about thirty per cent of the population had imported slaves work- ing for them. That was all right for the people who had plenty of money : but for the other seventy per cent, it didn’t work out quite so well: for the negroes were employed in the places where the whites might have worked, Hence, part of the prejudice against negroes. In many orders and clubs in this country negroes and Jews are not allowed: and yet we call this a free country in which everyone has a chance for advancement. Ts this what we mean when we say, “One nation, indi- visible, with liberty and justice. for all?” What do those words mean to us? Until everyone of us comes to realize that God created everyone equal. and acts accord- ingly, the problems of peace, and freedom, and justice will never be completely and sat- isfactorily solved. ERMINIE CRANDALL. “A HERO” Bright lights flashed in front of me. Men. excited and tense, hurried back and forth, shouting to be heard above the wind and rain. Regardless of the storm, the shouting, the mutterings and growling of a large crowd of people, it seemed deathly quiet all of a sud- den. Every eye was glued to the top of the MI LLL чт iue a five-story building. The shadows cast by cruel hot tongues of flame contorted the fea- tures of the staring, fascinated multitude as they watched. Not far off a woman screamed ; and then broke into hysterical sobbing as her husband left her to join the hurrying, shouting men. A shower of sparks arose and became dim as the roof timbers started to give way. Suddenly one of the firemen dashed up the steps of the house, ignoring hands out- stretched to stop him — voices, urgent and pleading, shouting that it was too late, he would be killed. Without hesitation, he went into the house. Smoke, thick and black, bil- lowed forth from the windows. Suspense held each one in its icy grip. Wind whipped the smoke around in circles and bore it down. The rain slashed at the flames, but it seemed only to make them burn fiercer, А shudder arose from the crowd as the last timber gave away and the roof crashed into the depths of the blazing in- ferno, The shudder changed to a gasp of surprise, as the young fireman staggered from the blazing building with a large bag over his shoulder. Passing the bag to one of the others, he let himself be guided away from the hustling scene. Opening the bag the fireman brought out a small fox terrier. A small boy dashed to the pupny's side and started petting him. A ring- ing cheer arose from the crowd for a fireman who would risk his life to save a dog's life and make a little boy happy. OLIvE HITCHCOCK. JOY IS WHERE YOU FIND IT Everyone has heard someone else say that Mr. “So and So had a lot of money ; but he wasn't happy because he was a miser, and he never bought any luxuries. I don't agree with this! That man is probably happier be- ing a miser than you or Г are spending money on amusements. PENNELL INSTITUTE =-= m Different people have different tastes. Did you ever see a person crying over a sad scene in a movie? I have talked with people who do this, and they say that crying in movies makes them happy. I once heard someone, talking about me, say, “Не can't be very happy because he is always too serious.” They didn't realize that I can get more joy out of life by being seri- ous than by being “full of the devil.” It is the fact that everyone has some pecu- liar tastes that makes this world such an in- teresting place in which to live. If everyone enjoyed the same things, the earth would he a very dull place. So, before you criticize a person, stop and realize that he may have some tastes completely different from your own. ROBERT SLATER. “BEING A FEMALE MYSELF—” Having carefully read the article, “Utopia, Feminine Model,” I laid down my worn and thumbed copy of Readers Digest and laughed scornfully at the author’s imagina- tion. He had certainly let it run away with him this time! I, being a female myself and thus feeling qualifed to know, decided that either Billy Rose had somehow acquired a warped idea of womanhood or else he just felt like writing a lot of breezy sentences. Whatever the case, I was filled with right- eous indignation and a grim determination to defend our fair sex. I shall proceed to do so here. In the first place, if we girls were allowed, to run the world our way, we most certainly wouldn't have colored buildings, of course. ( However, if we did we'd have some bright colors like red or purple to suit the temper- mental ones, not just pastel shades.) As for our having common air replaced by Chanel No. 3 —that is ridiculous. Do you think we'd make ourselves ill just for th� sake of being surrounded by a sweet aroma? Nope! (Besides—it would cost too much.) Fifteen THE WHIRLPOOL - 7 = z Also, the idea of having “Toujours L'Amour” singing from lamp-post-loud- speakers is plain goofy.. (What about the gals who have never taken high school French?) And gee, doesn’t that policeman on his gold pedestal sound like a little sissy! My goodness, we are girls, after all, and we would want them all to look masculine, nat- urally. (In fact, we'd probably have them dressed in Tarzan outfits.) We wouldn't have a “Grand Central Pow- der Room” in every city, either. (No, we'd leave Grand Central to the trains and be per- fectly satisfied with one small powder room to every six blocks.) Mr. Rose makes us all sound like jealous cats when he says we wouldn't vote for each other for the Presidency, which is hardly a true statement. (Anyway, if that were the case, the logical and simple solution would be to make the men vote for women alone and exclude the ladies' votes altogether.) He seems to think that we'd have paper money changed into denominations of $.98. $4.98, and $9.98; no doubt he refers to our affinity for Bargain Sales. How much sim- pler it would be to set a rule that all sales shall amount to whole figures! (However, there wouldn't be much sense in doing either, for then we wouldn't have the satisfaction of getting the two cents back.) I could go further but I believe I've proved my point that we girls aren't as frivolous as he makes us out to be. Well, Mr. Rose, no doubt you started out with all good intentions but surely you must see now how silly and futile it all was, don't А ? уои: PAULINE STEWART. THE GREATEST WONDER OF THEM ALL No tour of Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower, or to London with- out going to the Westminster Abbey. But Sixteen the greatest wonder of them all is the Empire State Building which stands 1,250 feet above the city of New York. It is located at the West side of ІЛЕ Ave- nue between 34th and 33rd Streets and covers about two acres. It has two observatories, the first one at the 86th floor, with a lounge, writing room, soda fountain, tea room, and cocktail bar. The second one is at the 10?nd floor, 1,250 feet above the streets. Looking down, the people look like busy ants hurrying back and forth and the cars and busses look like tiny fat bugs. Every known country of the world has been represented in the many millions who have visited the Empire State, since it was opened on May Ist, 1931. It is a sight no one should miss when visit- ing New York. Утог.А HATCH. DUTY The great Irish humorist, Oscar Wilde, once said, “Duty is what we expect from others.” This is very true of most of us. How many of us live up to the ideals which we expect to sec in others? Very few of us, I'm afraid. We can look around us and con- demn our neighbors, but if we take a few minutes to analyze ourselves we will find ourselves often making the same mistakes. Most of us could write a book of rules for others to live up to, but, I wonder how many of us could live up to them ourselves. It seems so easy to tell others what to do but so hard to practice what we preach. It would be a much better world if instead of expect- ing duty we said, Duty is what we owe to others.” FAE WILSON. NAMES AREN’T NECESSARY As I was sitting at a long table in the crowded dining hall of Cushing General Hospital, my eye caught the pondering gaze of a pale corporal who was sitting across the room. Strangely enough, he appeared to recognize me. To me he was but one more of the hundred of G. I.’s recovering from wounds at the hospital. Пе made a move. hesitated, and finally arose with his tray and limped over to my table. “Eh, pardon me. sergeant,” he began as he tapped me on the shoulder, I've been wondering.—You look familiarand—. Mind telling me where you were wounded, kid? Germany— ?” “That's right, Buddy. I —' Here 1 stopped, for something had suddenly re- turned, sharp and clear, to my memory. “I'm wounded, kid — I'm wounded.” It was the same western twang. “Why, you're the other guy in the foxhole.” Y eah—, the corporal gave a short bitter laugh as he sat down. “The only other guy able to talk after that damned shell hit.” The familiar sick feeling returned to me as I again recalled the sight of our three com- panions, lying in their own blood. Two of them were dead, the third unconscious. The corporal had paused, remembering too. and now he went on. “You seem to be in pretty good shape now, Sarge.” Yuh—I was lucky. I guess. Shrapnel in my left arm here and this finger's bum. I'm about ready to go home, now.” “That's swell, fella. Remember the kid who was hit with us?” Yes. I remembered the third one of us who had survived the blast. Пе was a private, pitifully young, and by the time I was ready to leave the [english Hospital, to which we had all three been evacuated, he had still not regained consciousness. The corporal continued never came to. Died the shipped me for the states.” soberly. “Пе morning they = PENIN CLL MT ГЕР Tough—he was such a kid.” “Yeah.” There was a long moment of silence and then I got hold of myself. You couldn’t let your mind dwell on those thoughts or—. “Suppose you'll be going home soon, cor- poral ? “Well, not for a month ог so yet. They're still giving me lessons on how to make people think my right leg’s made of flesh and blood like my left.” The sarcasm was there alright but I watched the bitter glint vanish gradually from his eyes as he looked around at the other patients. When his eyes finally re- turned to mine, they were calm. I knew how he felt. We both had much to be thankful for. “What kind of a trip did you have coming over?” I asked. “We were docked outside of New York for four days on account of fog in the harbor. Lord, wasn't I glad to hit that land !” We talked for some time about our fami- lies. and our homes and so forth. Finally, the corporal said, “Well, I promised the boys in the ward I'd play crib- bage with them this afternoon. It’s been swell secing vou again, Sarge—and finding you so well. It's sure been swell!” I wished him luck and he was gone. T sauntered back to my ward and sat down bv а window. The loud laughter. oaths. and improvised music from the other patients swam around my head. I hadn't even learned the guy’s name! It was funny: five strangers happen to leap for the same foxhole when a German tank heads for them. Two of the five live and later meet —and don't even ask each other's name. Well I decided, war was like that. It made you all brothers and names weren't neces- sary. I suddenly felt tired and decided to lie down for awhile. After all, better be rested up for that trip home in a couple of days. PAULINE STEWART. Seventeen ; E ГИ WHIRLPOOL POET’S NOOK STARDUST Tumbling from the heavens, In the stillness of the night, Stardust falling on God's world; On everything in sight. Falling on the water, on the trees, And on the grass; Nothing in this world Can its beauty 'er surpass. It makes your heart grow lighter, Makes your weary soul delight; When stardust falls from heaven, In the stillness of the night. When asked what makes the evening Shadows brighten up as if it's day; What makes the night grow brighter ; What makes your spirit рау; It’s the stardust beauty, Sparkling from on high; It deadens all your sorrows: And you breathe a joyous sigh. Norma BIsnop. HINTING Dad, could I get your pipe and slippers, And maybe an ash tray, too? Cause you know there's really no one Quite as nice as you. Perhaps you'd like the evening paper, Perhaps a cup of tea ; Or could it be you'd like to talk All alone with me? Oh, dad, I almost forgot, There's a dance next Friday night, I really haven't a thing to wear; I'm afraid I'll look a fright, What's the matter with my pink dress? Oh, I really couldn’t wear that. The collar's stiff and.tickles my neck; It almost drives me bats. There’s the sweetest blue dress, Down in the store, And, oh, the style of it, I simply just adore! Would I like to have it?? Dad, you bet I would, And somehow, down deep inside, I sort of knew I could.- JOAN DOUVIELLE. Eighteen WINTER SCENE Before me lies a snow packed road, Along its edges bushes grow. 'Tis just the width o'a loaded sleigh, To jingle on its merry way. Before me on the right I see A cabin, huddled ‘mong the trees. Smoke from its chimney gently pours, Sure must be cozy ‘hind those doors. And through the trees the sun shines down, Creating patterns o’er the ground. Ah, what a pleasure to behold, The scenes that nature does unfold. You, too, can see all this you know, What I’m to say may be a blow, For this same scene hangs on the wall, 1� Pennell's noisy study hall. PAULINE STEWART. FOLKS LIKE YOU Folks like you are nice to know; They gladden life a lot. They hold a warm place in the heart; And they’re oft’ times in one’s thoughts. They scatter cheer where’er they go; They're friendly, fine, and true. And this old world's a better place, Because of folks like you. BEvERLY DOUGLASS. JUST A DRIP I'd hate to bc an icicle Out in the cold, cold snow. I'd have to hang on roof tops And look way down below. And when the sun began to shine, I'd melt and lose my grip, And so you see; I'm satisfied At being Just a drip. JOAN WILSON. JUNIOR A В С� A is for Abbie, Her jokes; they're slightly corny.

S., '48. mmm МУН ЛИ A COMPOSITE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE CLASS OF 1947 I was born at Gray, Maine, in 1929, in the same house where I now live. —As a child my favorite companions were horses. — I at- tended the public schools in Gray and am now in my last year at Pennell.—During my four years at Pennell, I have played basket- ball and baseball and taken part in several plays. — I enjoy hunting, fishing, swimming, skating, dancing, and movies. — I like any kind of reading. Although I prefer mystery stories, I can become egually absorbed in a book of poetry, or a play by Shakespeare. To me, some of the most important material things in life are a nice home, a closet full of clothes, and a room full of books.—Someday I should like to travel. — Last summer I worked in Portland. — I am a member of Gray Grange and have occupied two of the chairs. — I once hoped to be a singer or an artist but I cannot see any possibility of my becoming either. — If I have the chance I should like to go to college.—Can you guess who I am?

When the play opens, four orphans are living with the Hoskins: Bonnie Blue (Viola Hatch), a girl hitch- hiker with a mysterious past: Brad Rivers (Cliff Hall. a college student: and Midge and Micky Starr (Lawrence Robinson and Beverly Maxwell), a pair of mischievous thirteen-year-old twins. The twins’ relatives, tight-fisted Gidean Garvey ( Bob Slater) and gossiping Opal Ludlow (Aldine Tripp), plan to separate Midge and Micky and use them for servants. Taking the advice of Uncle “Hez”, the twins play all sorts of tricks, in the hopes that their relatives will allow them to remain with the Hoskins. There is also a serious note: The Hoskins will lose their home and orchard unless back taxes are paid before the end of the day. They are unable to borrow the money, but Emily firmly he- lieves that God will save their home. Other characters include snobbish Lor- raine Ludlow (Olive Hitchcock), spoiled fifteen-year-old Elmer (Phil Pollard), and gossipy Clara Clagg (Darbara Nichols). Y gw LAWRENCE ROBINSON, “1%.
