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.

PENNELL INSTITUTE SENIOR REPORT Lo! ... 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.
