As we turned its pages we realized more then ever what a large part a yearbook plays in the life of a school. Although manv the past three decades, manv things are the changes have taken place at Pennell during same. That first editorial board contained names familiar to all of us: Sweetser. Libby, Cushing, Snow, and Sawyer. The dedication to sons in service had a familiar ring of a more recent post-war condition. The school song, well known to us all. was printed, possibly for the first time, under a picture of our campus flag. Another familiar note was found in an editorial that men- tioned the high cost of financing a school paper (a fact that we all know too well), and the hope for success. Among the adver- tisers we found only a few familiar names such as Cole-Marsden, Sawyer. Dr. Cushing. Then we began looking for signs of change. One editorial mentioned the possi- bility of introducing a manual training course at Pennell, and another article praised the efforts being made to secure a hall in which to play basketball. It is hard for us to picture the Pennell campus without New- begin Gymnasium and to think of a high school course that didn't include manual training. The athletic report was very interesting with scores given in baseball games against such schools as Windham, Standish, Greely, and New Gloucester. The literary section had so much excellent material in it that one of the best stories and a poem have been re-printed elsewhere in this book. Yes, we have advanced, and the school has expanded a great deal in the past thirty years, but the same spirit of loyalty and de- votion that has filled the heart of every graduate of Pennell Institute, still exists and will continue to show itself in future years. KENNETH SKILLING, 49. Ten THE AIM OF EDUCATION IN OUR PRESENT DAY SCHOOLS The aim and purpose of every school should be to train individuals to be good members of society, to fit them to take their places in the world, and to cultivate their minds so they can see things as they really are. Children should learn how to pick out and make use of what is good and discard that which is unimportant. The more edu- cation one gets the better able he is to get along with other people. A person who is educated knows when to speak and when to be silent; he is able to talk intelligently on manv subjects, and he can listen to someone else with understanding. He enjoys more fully everything around him, whether it is music, lectures, opera, sports, or politics. This is the general aim of the schools. The specific aim should be to instruct the students in subjects that will enable them to go out into the world and earn a living. The larger schools have money and facilities to include many and varied courses of study so that students may choose what they prefer to take up for their life work. In this way students upon leaving high school are often able to get a position at once in their line of work if they do not wish to continue their education along the same line in an advanced school. The smaller schools are sometimes handicapped by lack of money and teachers. and do not have as many specialized courses: students who are compelled to take just the regular course of study have to enter another school if they wish to specialize in their line of work. The world of today is so complicated that there is need for every student to make the most of his schooling as he goes along so that he can get started early in his own particular line of work. This is an age of specialists in every branch of work, and in order to get ahead, each must know all he can about his particular subject. Our own high school is equipped to give us a good start, and it 1s up to us to make the most of what we have. Bargara Turts, 49. gd THE WHIRLPOOL SCHOOL CALENDAR Sept. 8. School opened. Darn it! !

STUDENT COUNCIL President Henry BECK Secretary ABBIE LUNN Student Government was introduced at Pennell in 1939 and since that time it has accomplished much in molding the relation- ship between the students and the faculty and among the students themselves. The an- nual hot-dog hike was again sponsored this year by the Council for all high school stu- dents and the faculty. The main responsi- bility this year has been the supervision on the stairs when classes are changing.

Weare Seniors! With this amaz- ing observation, we began the school year fifteen strong. Absent from last year’s ranks was Richard Merrill. Later we were joined by Virginia Marsh from Falmouth. At the first class gathering for business we elected the following: President, Gordon Kimball; Vice President, Maurice Childs: Secretary, Pauline Stewart: Treasurer, Eleanor Humphrey; Student Council mem- bers, Abbie Lunn, Henry Beck. Representing us in basketball were: Henry Beck, Maurice Childs, Ralph White, Neal LaVallee; in swimming, Pauline Stew- art, Henry Beck: and on the cheering squad. Pauline Ferri and Patricia Dunn. Nina Hicks acted as manager of girls’ basketball. On December 18th, we presented the three-act play, Student Queen. This proved to draw more laughs than were in the script, and from all reports was happily received. We were grateful for Mr. Fred Skilling’s kind services in the make-up de- partment. We have sponsored dances and an im- promptu Hallowe'en Social, all of which in- creased our class fund considerably. Thanks are due Mrs. May Deck for her aid in these ventures. Our social activities were cur- tailed somewhat because of the oil situation, but with Spring at hand we are planning more shindigs. Plans for a class trip to New York during our April vacation have been established. All sixteen members of the class expect to make this excursion and are looking for- ward to it with relish. Soon will be the event we've long antici- pated ... Graduation. At that time we must move on, with some regret and a store of pleasant memories. PAULINE STEWART. | HE SENIOR PLAY On December 18th, the Seniors presented the three-act royalty play, Student Queen. The play dealt with the election of a modern Cinderella as queen of a student celebration. It was a comedy of adolescence, rich in humor and the springtime of youth.

We feel that this experience will be a great help when graduation comes next year. Our coach, Mrs. Dempsey, gave much of her time and effort to this event and the mem- bers of the class will always be grateful for her interest in them. We were fortunate in having the Pennell-Windham Orchestra. to play for us. It was their first appearance in Gray and the music was certainly enjoyed by all.

As we had already spent the previous year at Pennell as cighth graders we didn't find the first year in high school so very different. Then when we learned that Mrs. Adams was to he our English teacher we felt even more at home. Freshman Reception had us scared at first, but when the time came for the stunts we really had more fun than the upperclassmen did. At the first class meeting. Richard Aver was elected class President; Gerald Humph- rey, Vice President; Arthur Quint, Treas- urer ; and Carl Duplisea, Secretary. Gordon 1948 Tufts and Joan Thomas were elected to the Student Council as representatives of the class.

Seventeen PENNELL INSTITUTE INTER-MURAL BASKE IE BALL Left to right, in circle: R. Skilling, O. Brown, H. Libby, J. Ferri, R. Douglass, W. Whitney, A. Quint, R. White. Centers: This year for the first time physical edu- cation was added to the curriculum of Pen- nell Institute. Both girls and boys, Grades 7-12, were required to participate in the pro- gram. The primary objective of the physical education program is to help each boy and girl achieve the maximum standard of health of which he is capable with the thought that good health is a prerequisite to the fullest realization of practically all those activities which make for complete living. Some of the specific needs of the students are: 1. Development of the physical, mental, and social possibilities of each individual. 2. A program of activities that will chal- lenge the best efforts of the individual, that will be within the range of his abilities, and that will enable him to develop organic and muscular power and improve skill and c o- ordination. Eighteen E. Strout, B. Dunn, Coach Laughton. 3. By means of these activities to provide situations in which the student may achieve self-confidence, happiness, and satisfaction of accomplishment, and through them en- courage the development of such traits as initiative, leadership, followership, fairness, unselfishness, and reliability. 4. Through these activities and satisfac- tions, to encourage an attitude toward exer- cise that will help to normalize his life dur- ing his school years, influence his actions in adult life, and make him a worthy member of his community. The program for girls includes such ac- tivities as calisthenics, soccer, kickball, bas- kethall, relay races, and softball. The boys’ program includes such activities as calis- thenics, touch football, relay races, basket- ball, and softball. Due to the oil shortage, activities were curtailed for a time this winter but were re- sumed with the return of warm weather. 1947 == THE WHIRLPOOL = GLEE CLUB Front row, left to right: Instructor, Mrs. Rich, M.

The sky was never bluer: the grass was never greener. The air was sweet with the frag- rance of blossoms. Youth turned for one last look on the home he loved so well. Tears were in his eyes as he gazed back into the little valley. In spite of the tears his face wore a look of determination. His most earnest desire had always been to find Happiness. He was now starting out into the world to seek her. As he went along the highway, he looked with eager eyes, at every turn expecting to find her waiting for him. But no Happi- ness did he see. On and on he went. At last he saw a figure approaching him. It was Temptation. She was in disguise, arrayed in a beautiful robe brocaded with glittering gold. As the way had been lonely he was glad to see anyone and greeted Temptation. Mer voice sounded sweet to him, but there was a look about her face that he could not understand. Try as hard as he would, he could not look her in the eye. She asked where he was going and he said. I am searching for Mappiness. Can you tell me where I may find her?“ Temptation appeared to be interested. Yes, come with me, she replied. I live alone in a beautiful palace and am very lonely. If you will come and be my com- panion I will give you all the gold you want. You know everything, even Happiness, can be procured with gold. Youth was persuaded to accept the offer. Temptation’s palace was indeed beautiful. How rich it was! Gold everywhere! Youth was enraptured, but he did not forget to look for Happiness. He longed for her more and more every day, but, carry what gold he might, there was no market at which he might purchase Happiness. Twenty At last. disillusioned, he slipped away from the beautiful palace. He had gone only a little way when he saw a figure robed in dusky gray coming toward him. This was Idleness. His garments were wrapped care- lessly about him and his eves were heavy with sleep. When Idleness learned Youth's plans, he said, Go no farther. my boy, but stay with me and meet some of my friends. You will find Happiness just as quickly as if you went in search of her. Idleness brought his two closest friends, Falsehood and Decep- tion, to Youth. They saw at once that Youth was not to be easily influenced, and set to work with their winning ways. The best way to obtain one's desire is the first and quickest way, Youth thought, and some of their tricks he tried. Dut in the quiet hours of the night his mind re- volted from them. Then he met Luck. Youth did not think him a pleasant sight to look upon, as his suit was made entirelv of patches of many bright colors put together as if by accident. However, Youth decided to approach him, as he had always heard of Luck as being helpful. Feeling quite sure that he had at last found a true friend, he poured out his troubles to him. Instead of expressing sympathy and promising help as Youth had expected, Luck said simply, “Happiness is only a matter of chance. It may come and it may not come. Wait and you will know.“ Youth waited. No Happiness did he see. Ile became more and more discouraged. The skies had been dark and gray for a number of days. The clouds threatened a hig storm. A storm, too, was brewing in Youth's heart. Suddenly through a rift in the clouds a ray of sunlight fell on a figure standing near him. It was Truth. Her robe, which was like the sunlight, her golden hair. her fair skin all appeared to Youth. But above 1947 = —— 1948 all, her eyes told him that she could be trusted. As soon as she spoke, Youth ran to her. At last here was a true friend. “Youth,” she began, you have been blind as many others have. Happiness has been by your side all the time. She is with you now. No one can see her without the help of two friends, my friend Industry and myself. Happiness is wrapped in a veil of mist through which you cannot see. Only Truth and Industry together can lift that veil. If you will come with me to her, we will let you see Happi- ness. Encouraged, eager Youth set out. At first he did not like the look on Industry's face. It was serious to the point of severity. In answer to his plea for help she replied. “Youth, you must do the tasks T give vou and do them well if you wish to see Hap- piness. — Youth consented, thoughtfully. Many were the tasks Industry gave him. Being unused to hard work he became foot- sore and weary, but his heart was light. One afternoon while at a very hard task in the field, Youth caught a glimpse of a figure near him. He fancied he saw a mist lifting. “That must be Happiness.” thought he. Oh, I am going to see her now. He ceased working and sat down to watch and rest. No sooner did he do so than the mist settled thicker than ever. Youth under- stood and was overjoyed at even a glimpse. Then he set to work again with a will. l'ar into that night did he work. Overcome with weariness he lay down in the field and fell asleep. The next morning when he opened his eyes the veil around Happiness was lifted. There she stood ready to greet him and aid him. Youth had earned his reward. Furthermore, he promised himself that Truth and Industry should always be with him, for they could be trusted. ALICE LAWRENCE (SHAW), 1919 Whirlpool. THINGS YOU WON'T REGRET Doing a kind act.

The manipulators of the road-drills evidently had ne respect for hard working men who needed all the sleep they could get. Humph,“ Timothy thought, “an- other city nuisance. If Timothy had had his way, he'd have stayed in the nice, quiet country; but Emmy, his wife, had been so insistent . . . Thinking of Emmy brought an unpleasant recollection of the night be- fore, and Timothy grumbled and swung his feet to the floor. His eyes still laden with drowsiness, he stumbled to the window and closed it with a bang. There, that dulled the racket to a certain degree but he could see there would be no more sleep for him that morning—he was wide awake now. As Timothy passed the bureau upon leav- ing the window, he experienced a strange sensation. lle stopped, scratched his head. aud backtracked until he stood directly in front of the bureau. There. on a level with his eyes, was the bureau's mirror, but it held no image of Timothy Tweed! In that mir- ror was reflected the cupid picture on the wall behind him, the chintz-covered rocker in the corner, the desk with its unlittered, grcen-blottered top: but there definitely was NOT reflected a man. Timothy closed his eyes, swallowed hard, and looked again. No man jn the mirror! Tear fully. he raised his hand before his face. No hand! With a brave effort, he looked down. No feet. no legs. no trunk, no arms, . .. he wasn't there! Oh, MIV!!! exclaimed Timothy as he sat down hard on the hed. Emmy Tweed was not in very good sorts. For one thing, her anger had not completely subsided from the night before when she and Twenty-one her husband had exchanged bitter words after his denunciation of her new hat. It had started as a jest and then had somehow taken on a new meaning, and they were arguing. Finally, she had stalked off to bed, and he had gone to the guest-room to sleep. Now, as it was 7:45 and Timothy had not vet appeared, she gathered he'd gone off without his breakfast for he was due at the office at 8:00. Next thing we know, someone will spy him grabbing a cup of coffee downtown and spread it 'round I'm too lazy to get up and get him a breakfast,” she grumbled while transferring dishes from sudsy water to dryer with unnecessary force. That's just what he'd like; anything to put ME in the wrong light. And she nodded her head em- phatically as she poured scalding water over the dishes. However, the possibility of his having overslept presented itself, and she had to re- sist an impulse to investigate. Twould serve him right, she observed. Neverthe- less, she decided to make up the bed in the guest-room first that morning. Just as she expected, the room was empty. XR The air was warm; it was scented: it was just occasionally disturbed by a light breeze : and Timothy Tweed was taking it in, in huge, appreciative gulps. This was his sec- ond day in the country and he was enjoying himself immensely. For it seems that after the first moment of panic and the next mo- ment of dumb wonder, Timothy had decided there was nothing to do but accept his invisi- bility as a wonderful, if astounding, fact. The possibilities of such a condition had occurred to him in short order. Why not get away from it all, tedious office-work, annoy- ing city confusion, and ... nagging Emmy. Timothy hestitated when he came to Emmy. then shrugged. It would serve her right. Anyway, the opportunity was too great to be by-passed. (It occurred to him suddenly that he was no good to anyone in his present state anyway.) Indeed, the more Timothy thought about it, the more he wondered why such good fortune had not befallen him be- fore. So he had boarded a country-bound bus with neither ticket nor money, and who had known the difference? Twenty-two PENNELL INSTITUTE T. J. T., as his business associates called him, sauntered along the dusty road, wh’s- tling or singing as the urge bade him. Ah, this was the life! Once, though, a dog — that animal with the almost uncanny percep- tive powers—had dashed from an adjoining field to bark and nip playfully at his heels. The dog's owner stood in the field and scratched his head in wonder. Timothy at- tempted to shoo the dog away, but of course that critter thought this to be a cue for play. Finally, by stealthy maneuvering, Timothy managed to get out of the dog's range of scent, and Rover meandered back to his puzzled master, Animals always had liked him, T. J. recalled with a faint sense of satis- faction ; still—he didn't like them vapping at his heels. It was dusk and he was beginning to de- tect slight pangs of hunger. Thus, when he came in view of a large, neat, white farm- house, he decided to see what was on their evening bill-of-fare. A glance through the window revealed a large, capable looking woman lifting hot biscuits from the oven. Timothy slipped through the open door as she turned to the sink, and thrust three of the biscuits into his pocket. Then he helpe:l himself to a plate from the table set for eight... (large families, these farmers’. he had noted) ... and filled it with bacon and eggs from the warming plate on the stove. He then hurried out the door for he had no wish to see the good woman alarmed by à floating plate of steaming edibles. lle did pause long enough to fill a conveniently lo- cated dipper with fresh milk from the pail on the door step. Seating himself comfort- ably behind the house, he prepared to enjoy a most healthful meal. A loud exclamation from within the house accompanied his first mouthful, informing him that his deed had been discovered. Timothy shrugged ever so slightly and munched a strip of bacon with apparent unconcern. That night he slept amongst delightfully sweet-sinelling hay in the barn of that same farm. He would go back in the morning to that little swimming hole he had seen earlier and take a dip, for he felt hot and dusty after his meanderings, and Timothy was generally an immaculate man. It was the fifth day when Timothy was forced to admit that he was hopelessly home- sick. He missed the city noises: he missed 1947 == n ig 1948 his little white house; he missed his pipe and his easy chair; and he missed Emmy most terrible. He was tired of wandering, pick- ing up his meals like a common hobo and being exposed to the open air most of the time. He had found his sense of humor un- rewarded by the feat of throwing people into confusion with his new-found power. for he was a kind man by nature. On top of this, he needed a shave. Timothy was in a state of utter despair and just wanted to go home. But how could he? If he returned to Emmy in his present condition, she would surely think she were losing her mind. Certainly, she couldn't be expected to believe such a thing nor to accept it. How had such a thing happened to him, anyway? He couldn't find the answer but he told himself that it was better to let Emmy think he was kidnapped or whatever she did think. But as vou may have guessed, he couldn't resist going home, just to see if Emmy was all right. He wouldn't let his presence be known of course. Thus it was that the next morning found him standing silently by the kitchen sink in his own home. Emmy was sitting at the table, absently sipping a cup of coffee. It was evident that she was ex- tremely unhappy: her eyes were red and swollen, her expression empty. Timothy's heart went out to her. To think that he was the cause of her unhappiness. Emmy fin- ished her coffee, rinsed the cup not two feet from where her husband stood and then sighed and went into the living room. Timo- thy blew his nose and left the house. That night he slept on a park bench. lle was an extremely miserable person. He de- sired nothing more than to become visible again. How he desired that! The next morning he went home again. Somehow. just being in his own house made him fee! better. lle found Emmy in the kitchen again. She was washing windows this time. Poor woman. Every once in awhile she sniffed audibly and groped for a handker- chief. ‘Timothy noticed that it was already damp. He went closer until he was right behind her. He had an impulse to pat her back, but that would never do. Then she suddenly set down her bottle of window spray and burst into tears. This was too much for Timothy; tears flowed down his cheeks and he choked noisily. Emmy whirled around. Timothy! Timothy THE WHIRLPOOL jumped. “Where have you been; why haven't vou shaved? demanded Emmy through her tears. Timothy looked down, amazed. Sure enough, he was visible; he was a MAN again! It is now weeks later. Life in the Tweed household is pretty much as it was beíore Timothy's strange absence. Only two things are notably different. Emmy may be caught, off and on, looking at her husband with puzzled, wondering eyes. She had accepted his amnesia story but was not altogether convinced. Stili he had never been so atten- tive before, and as she had a haunting sus- picion that perhaps she had been the cause of his leaving, she held her peace and tried not to nag quite so much. And as for Timo- thy, well nowadays, Timothy is very careful not to pass judgment on Emmy's new hats. PAULINE STEWART. THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF LIFE WITH A YOUNGER BROTHER Only those unfortunate girls who have managed to struggle through the ordeal of that age, between ten and fourteen with a younger brother can properly appreciate such an experience. The boy friend, girl friends and friends of the family smile smugly and say, “He's cute. Oh, to see them after they had lived with him for onc week! The cute little kid who shouts, Bang, bang!“ and charges through the room when vou're trving to study might not scem so cute 1f they had to live with him. True, he ty nice about running little errands for you, and he always sticks up for you when anyone utters a word against you, but all this is offset when he invites a few pals in to repaint his toy trucks or cars with your new set of nail polish! When you in- vite your girl friend over for supper, you cross your fingers, clench your teeth, and hope brother will hehave hiniself at the table. You are just beginning to relax and think that everything is going off nicely for once when he starts a spirited recital of, Did You Ever Think When the Hearse Goes By? Promptly squelched by Dad's dirty look, he immediately proceeds to imitate Twenly-three PENNELL INSTITUTE every character he has seen or heard tell of within the last two months. The girl friend is just beginning to get a great “kick” out of it all when, lo and behold, he gives an animated imitation of her best beau, and you spend the remainder of the evening trying to compensate for little brother’s lack of tact. Here's a bit of advice — no matter how funny little brother's jokes are don't ever let him know you think so when you have com- pany because he will surely feel obliged to entertain all evening. Then, there's the night the minister and his wife came to call and the brat appeared in the living room with his pants rolled up to the knees—the better to show off your leg make-up smeared all over his legs. And they thought it was cute! Well enough said on the subject of little brothers. They are trying, annoying, noisy, but—I must admit it—cute ; and after all is said and done, wouldn't life he pretty dull without them once vou've become accus- tomed to anticipating their antics?

He was not as elo- quent a speaker, but his very simplicity and straight-forward manner won for him the love and respect of the American people. Although his clothes were ill fitting, his voice high and thin, and his gestures awkward as he delivered his speeches, he was able to put over his ideas with greater force than Doug- las. Lincoln's speeches and debates were more logical than those of Douglas and were delivered with greater clarity of thought. Douglas was a good speaker, but Lincoln's sincere interest in the welfare of the people gained for him the trust and confidence of the people of the United States. ERMINIE CRANDALL. Twenty-four PARAGRAPH DEVELOPED BY DETAILS The necessary qualifications for becom- ing an airline hostess are quite strict. You have to be between the ages of 21 and ?6. Your height can be between 5'-2 to 5'-6 : anyone taller couldn't stand up straight in the aisle of the plane. Your weight varies according to vour height, 105-125. Your educational background has to include two years of college or the equivalent. You have to be in perfect health and have pertect vision without glasses: a pleasing personal- ity, good figure, friendly smile, and a clear. melodious sounding voice complete the quali- fications. A girl can stay in the position un- til she becomes married; no married girl is allowed to be a hostess. Ruri JENKINS. TOPIC SENTENCE DEVELOPED BY CONTRAST Basketball today differs very much from basketball twenty years ago. When basket- ball first started, the game was about as rough as football, but today rules have been established making it illegal to interfere with the man who holds the hall: this makes the game more interesting. lor a long time rules permitted a man to dribble the basket- ball with two hands as long and as many times as he wanted: this permitted him to stall with the ball for a long time. Now rules have been made that limit a man to one dribble, thus forcing him to pass and speed- ing up the game. Now players have a new view on shooting. In previous years they preferred working the ball into a good scor- ing position not giving up the ball until they had scored: now they believe in shoot- ing as many times as they can, believing that the more times they shoot, the more chances they have to score. Marcom MacDonatp, 49. THE VALUE OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRY As I read the article “Safe and Insane” in the March issue of Reader's Digest I sud- 1947 == denly realized just what life in the country can mean to a child. A feeling of independ- ence and self-reliance is gained by the abil- ity to wander about over the fields and through the woods without fear of being suddenly crushed beneath the wheels of a passing car or of being reprimanded by a gruff policeman for scraping the bark from a tree. Thinking about things like this makes one wonder if children brought up in the city are not being cheated out of something fine and fundamental when they do not know that vegetables are grown in the ground, but think they are something that are manufactured and comes in a can. Children today are too much protected from the realities of life and are not given the opportunities to develop a sense of in- dependence. How can a child brought up in a city apartment, playing out of doors only under strict supervision for a few hours during the day, experience the joy of a child who sees nature perform her miracles day in and day out through the changing seasons of the year? When the thoughts and actions of a voung child are too restricted, is he not likely to turn to ways of expressing himself that are detrimental to society? People who are brought up in constant fear of being killed or of doing some wrong unknowingly may become aggressive, and it is this that we must beware of in the rulers of our land because aggressiveness leads to war. Children should be allowed to experiment with things in fields that interest them for only in this manuer can they best develop their natural abilities. True many of these things can be found in books or movies ; but has not someone said that experience is the best teacher ?” Let a child once commit some wrong that he feels he wants to do and be properly punished for it, and he will not be so anxious to do it again, Thus, if children are left to their own resources to a certain extent they will become better men and women for hav- ing expressed themselves in their childhood. I believe that if children were allowed more freedom there would not be so much juve- nile delinquency in the world today. This is a subject which should provoke much thought and consideration for only by the proper fundamentals and simple train- ing of children's minds can they become the 1948 THE WHIRLPOOL upright, self-reliant and independent leaders of tomorrow's world. ERMINIE CRANDALL, 49. HAPPINESS What do we all live for, fight for, and die for? Happiness. It is the goal of all our plans, prayers, and future years. We all want it with all our hearts, but don’t recog- nize it w hen we really have it. The search for happiness begins with children’s endless visions and dreams. To look for happiness we must look in our own hearts first, be- cause it is made of our own special needs. To be happy we have to know what we want. It doesn’t take much to supply most of us with pleasure, while others are never satished hecause they don’t use what pleasure they have but are always looking for more. Happiness isn't only in work and ambition but in a thousand small things, such as cheering at a basketball game, or having a couple of days off from work or school. But the deepest kind of happiness is in com- panionship or friendship. knowing that there is always someone whom vou can tell your troubles to or share your secrets with. Happiness changes within us as age does. In childhood we find it in small adventures and nice sunny days: when we're in our teens we find it in music, excitement, ro- mance, and laughter: and as we age we find it in having a home, love, and watching children grow. As I said in the beginning, happiness be- gins with children's dreams and visions; but if a child doesn't have a home, love, and understanding from his parents, it is going to be kind of hard for him to find happiness throughout life. PAULINE FERRI, 48. A REASON ISN'T EVERYTHING The incident of which I am going to tell you occurred about two years ago. Dack from the Philippines two days I still wore my uniform of captain in the United States Twenty-five Army. I was strolling down the sidewalk of the main street in my home town, when I saw him. He was walking beside a woman considerably older than he, and from the facial resemblance I judged them to be mother and son. llis khaki uniform was immaculate and well pressed. The brass buttons and second lieutenant's bars glittered brightly. As they approached he noticed me and his stride changed to a perfect military march. His back stiffened; his shoulders straightened; his chin came up. The woman looked at him proudly, then glanced at me. Just before they passed, his hand rose in a faulty. out-of-position, but snappy salute. I don't know for sure why I didn't stop him with a reprimand, but I didn't. Instead, I returned my well-practiced, absolutely flaw- less, military salute. The mother gave me a warm, friendly smile. Maybe the reason I did it was because of the eager gleam in his eve; then again, maybe it was because the “lieutenant” was about four years old. Austin M. Kucn. THE SUN, OUR DESTINY About the only time we appreciate the sun is when it isn't shining. It is a star of average size, 93,000,000 miles from the earth. This brilliant star controls our sea- sons making them warm or cold, depending on its distance from the earth. In the win- ter we wait for the spring. Everyone seems to love the spring. Did you ever stop to think tha t spring is due to the sun? The sun's heat brings the birds back, it melts the snow, it dries the ground. The trees bul and smaller things are reborn. The world would not be able to live with- out sunlight. Why? Because, without sun- light our foods cannot be raised; we would have no heat from the sun's rays, and the earth would become a solid mass of ice. No manufacturing could be done because of the lack of the sun's energv. We would have no time because that, too, is determined by the sun. All things would no longer exist because the existence and work o f the world depends entirely on the sun. We may well say the sun is our destiny. Joas WII SOF. Twenty-six PENNELL INSTITUTE FATE From the enormous windows of the li- brary, Val Hendricks stood looking out over the spacious grounds of her husband's sum- mer estate. She was pondering in her mind, the last minute details of the dinner party and the arrival of her sister, the latter being foremost in her mind. Everything had to he perfect. This would be the first time she had seen Libby since she and Barrie were married, five vears ago. It was wonderful that Barrie could get away from the office at the same time Libby was coming. She and Barrie could show Libby a gay time. They knew such interesting people, and there was no end of social ac- tivities here at this time of year. She was fighting to put out of her thoughts the fact that she wasn't actually glad her sister was coming. Why did Libby want to come here? Heaven knows, Val had never tried to conceal her resentment toward her sister. From the time they were very young, Val had made Libby's life a night- mare; yet she wanted to visit her. That was Libby, so childishly forgiving. Val resolved to try to make it up to her, in part, by show- ing her a good time. Probably poor Libby was bored stiff with the routine and stuffiness of the laboratory and city life in general, so she decided to come out here. As much as she hated to admit it, her sis- ter wasn't the type that got bored with any- thing. She seemed to love working in that laboratory. That was probably one of the things that made evervone who knew her love her. As Val made her resolution, she was hop- ing that the old Elizabeth Frazier had changed. Barrie had entered the room sometime ago and there was a look of perplexity on his tanned, handsome face as he tried, for the third time, to break into Val’s confused thoughts. She suddenly became aware of his presence. “My goodness, how long have 1 been standing here? Forgive me, I didnt hear you come in. Barrie had been watching his wife's ex- pression, and during the past two days he ——————————————————————————————————————— E M 1047 had sensed her troubled state of mind. He thought of bringing up the matter of so much social life but decided he didn’t feel up to arguing the thing out this afternoon. He casually remarked, What time is Eliza- beth's plane due? It's 3:20 now. It's so hot, I think it would be better if either vou or I met her at the airport rather than let her take a taxi. op To this, Val quickly replied, By all means. Her plane is due at 4:00 and would vou go? You'll recognize her I think. I have to freshen up a bit before the Ellises come. | have a perfectly wonderful vaca- tion planned. The Kings are staying here tonight and we're all going over to the club in the morning. for a few rounds of golf, then tomorrow afternoon, Vickie Travers is having a garden party. . ..“ This was it, Barrie refused to be pushed around among this crowd any longer. If this went with being successful, he'd had enough. No doubt her sister was just the same, and he intended, to get things straight- ened out before she arrived. lle couldn't stand a whole month with two people like Val around. The thing had reached a show- down, and he began, Give your sister a gay whi rl among those bores if you like but count me out. I'm strictly a sportsman and I haven't even had a chance to try out the fish up here since I came. It wasn't what Barrie had just said, but the way he said it, that made Val angrier at him then she had ever been. lle was so determined. Now you sound exactly like Libby used to. ‘Sports, I hate them.’ While Libby is here I intend to drag her out of her shell. She spoke quickly. then left the room. The last few weeks something undefinable had come between them. Val no longer shared Darrie's interests. “No doubt too many cocktail parties and too much of every- thing, was the opinion of the maids. As Barrie drove to the airport. his mind was troubled. What was wrong? Why did he and Val quarrel so much? When he arrived at the airport he found Elizabeth's plane was on schedule. The 1948 THE WHIRLPOOL people were now flocking through the gate and when she spied Barrie, she smiled a smile of recognition. She spoke very slowly and carefully. The only resemblance she bore to Val was her gracefulness. On the way back, he realized how mis- taken he'd been about Libby. She was a very calm, sensible woman. She seemed to re- lieve the tension and leave him more at ease than he had been in days. At first, he was overwhelmed with her beauty, that curly, black hair, those spark- ling blue-violet eyes set in such a creamy white complexion. The simply cut white suit she was wearing seemed to set off her ex- quisite figure. The conversation on the way back was light. He was surprised to find that she was experienced in sailing a boat. It seemed a very short time till they pulled up in front of the house. Val was standing on the lawn, very poised and calm, showing none of the strain she had gone through the past few days. Barrie watched Libby's every step as she hurriedly crossed the lawn to her sister. She ran the last few steps and gave Val a childish hug. The two were talking rapidly as they walked up the steps and into the house. During the next week Libby served as Barrie's skipper on several sailing trips. She had also caught some large trout and clone a lot of swimming. They always asked Val to go. Sometimes she went, but she never enjoyed it, and she usually had something else to do anyway. Of course, she always spent the evening with Val and her friends. Libby was a huge success at all parties, as Val expected she would be. It was strange but she felt differently about her sister than she had before. None of the old resentment was left. She would at least try to compen- sate for the misery she had caused her sister in earlier years. Barrie had changed in the last week. He seemed gayer than anyone had seen him in weeks. However, Libby had become Twenly-seven PENNELL INSTITUTE — — strangely silent and thoughtful. The doctor permitted them to go to her The third week of Libby’s visit, Val was room.

It represents the earth, Whose surface has been scarred by man, In peace and war, since birth. A diamond's million facets bright Belong up in the sky, To fill this dark world's eye with light, As centuries crawl by. A pearl's soft luster stirs the mind, The wand'ring inner thought, It turns an iron-clad stubborn soul To silver, finely wrought. The sapphire's purest blue Is reminiscent of the day, When o'er the world a feeling Of security once lay. An opal's endless changing colors Like the clouds that line the sky Appears to chant unspoken words That soft and soothing seem to lie. The diamond bright, the pearl so soft, All come from this staid land, When I have these gems, I hold The whole world in my hand. Dorotity Beck, '50. MY ROOM There is powder on the dresser, There is dust upon the floor, And scattered all around the room Are hooks and clothes galore. I try to keep it cleaned up, I try, but all in vain, For as soon as I get it picked up It gets cluttered up again. My mother says, Clean up your room.” My father says the same; But if I'm loathe to use mop and broom Surely l'm not to blame. Maybe someday I'll find the time To clean up my room once more, But I really and truly doubt if I do Cause it's really quite a chore. I'm happy with it the way it is, I don't see why folks fuss; And if anyone says another thing Pm sure lll start to cuss. Norma Bis nor. 149. — 1948 NATURE Did you ever wander through the woods at dawn, On a bright spring morn? Did you ever notice the birds and the flowers, The sap from the trees, and the running waters? Have you ever really wondered about nature, Why the birds should sing, and the frogs should shout? Did you ever find a bird's nest, or a patch of glossy moss, And think about how wonderful—nature really is? Did you ever drive the cows from the pasture, Or wade across a narrow river? Did you ever pick blueberries in an open field, And wish that you could study nature? Nina Hicks, 48. AUTUMN A warrior from the North he comes In all his warlike glory. His battle song the west wind hums, Death is his only story. He leaves his mark upon the trees; He leaves it in the garden: He kills the flowers; he stills the bees; He makes the earth to harden. His bugle sounds in every vale As in his annual battle He uses wind and rain and hail To drive to shelter cattle. And when the yearly fight is fought And spoils are stored away. He leaves the weapons he has brought And flees away to stay Until another year is past And Nature, his ally, Shall order once again his blast, Which makes the green things die. 1919 WHIRLPOOL. SPENDTHRIFT Spendthrift of time am I, Flirting the hours away, Watching the chances go by Till there is more day. High climbed the rising sun Finding me still a-bed, Noon came with little done Once more a day had fled. Always it seems I turn, After the night comes on, Backward to look and learn Chances for-ever gone. Spendthrift of time am I, Thinking 'twill always be! Thinking, dead men died May not occur to me, Ronert WHITE, 31. Thirty-three MY GELDING PIEBALD PAINT I bought a horse the other day, A gelding piebald paint. f ; The fellow that I bought him from said, He's a devil, not a saint. Many men have tried to ride him, They've come from near and far, But when they piled on he piled 'em off, You could easier ride a star. I didn't believe the words he spoke; To him I gave my money, Then I looked at my piebald pai.it, Said 1: Boy, he's a honey. On Piebald's back I put my saddle, I cinched it up real tight, Then into his mouth I put a bit; He didn't try to bite. I put my toe into a stirrup, And to his back I rose; For a single, flying moment He danced upon his toes, And then my dream was shattered, He gave a sudden jump, From the saddle I departed, And I landed with a bump. Up from the ground I scrambled, So mad that [ saw red, And reaching out a groping hand, I took him by the head. Then to my dusty saddle Once again I swung, And when he sunfished that time To his mane [ hung. He bucked and kicked, he reared and squealed, He swapped his tail for his head, And when he threw me that time, I wished that J were dead. When I stood up and looked around, The ground beneath me reeled, And I swear by all I own this day, Paint was laughing when he squealed. He stared at me, 1 glared at him, I was angry when I said, Before we're through I'll be the boss Else one of us is dead. nd so into the saddle I pulled myself once more, I expected I would suddenly Be seeing stars galore, But to my joy and my surprise I had to think again: I guess that onery critter Must've got it through his brain That I was gonna ride him If it took til Judgement day, For he stopped his crazy actions Without the least delay. Now you can talk about your horses And the types of equine nature, And the breeds and brands and colors, And the size and weight aud stature, But Pil still bet all my money on That little horse of mine, For I think he's nearly human, Though he's merely an equine. Although there's a thousand horses Who may be what mine ain't. T still het all mv monev on My Gelding Piebald Paint. AvsrIN Kuen, 49. Thirty -foni PENNELL INSTITUTE — -? aS Ste — 2 Ci .
