44 THE WHIRLPOOL The Class of “52 presents Fhe Whirlpool PENNELL INSTITUTE 1951 On dedication to two friends of Pennell who, in the few years with us, contributed faithfully to her progress. 1951 PENNELL INSTITUTE MR. DEMPSEY Mr. Dempsey became principal of Pennell Institute in 1943. He taught history, mathematics, and science. Through his influence the commercial course was greatly improved by adding typing to the curriculum. He started visual education here by bringing in moving pictures from outside, and by the use of a slide projector owned by the school. He promoted a physical education program for both boys and girls and also favored athletics. Mr. Dempsey was well liked by everyone in school. The student body as a whole was very disappointed when we heard that he could not resume teaching here because of illness, and was deeply moved upon receiving news of his death this last year. With his able assistance Pennell was improved in many ways during the years that Mr. Dempsey taught here. We all feel that we owe a great deal to our ex-teacher and friend. THE WHIRLPOOL OSBORNE BROWN Osborne was born July 1, 1934, at Blaine, Maine, during a terrific thunder shower. He lived in Robinson with his parents until he was two years old. Then they moved to Mars Hill, Maine. He moved to Sidney, Maine in 1939, where his father owned and operated a farm of 54 acres. Coming from Mars Hill to Sidney, he experienced his first and only trip on the train. In the fall of 1939, he started to get his educa- tion, entering the subprimary at a small Sidney school. He walked a mile to and from school every day. In a few months, he was transferred to a larger Sidney school. He was the only boy in his class, with four girls. When he was eleven years old, he moved with his family to a small camp on Messalonskee Lake in Oakland. Here they spent the summer. That fall he entered the fifth grade at John S. Tapley School in Oakland. He was very fond of music, especially hillbilly music. He was a member of the school Glee Club. In the fall of 1944, his parents moved into the town of Oakland, where his father was employed by H. P. Hood and Sons. They lived on Church Street. He joined the Cub Scouts of America in Oak- land. His mother was leader of their den. He attended the Methodist Church regularly. In Oakland he received his first new bicycle. He had an old one he had earned by shaking grainbags on the Sidney Farm for his father. 1951 The following summer his parents moved to Smithfield, where his father was a guide on the Belgrade Lakes. Here they spent the summer. He had learned to swim in Oakland, but was a better swimmer in Smithfield. In the early fall of 1945, he moved with his family to Dry Mills, Maine, where his father was employed at the State Game Farm. In September he entered the sixth grade at Hancock Junior High School. Here he met many friends who were very close to him. Eugene Leach was the first boy he met at Dry Mills. He graduated from the eighth grade with the honor part of Class Motto in 1948. He entered Pennell Institute in the fall with his classmates, and took an active part in baseball, basketball, and other things. When he was 12, he went to work at Noraco Inn, where he worked for two years cleaning the grounds and such. The summer of his fifteenth birthday, he went to work for himself raising almost an acre of cucumbers. He also worked at the Dry Mills open-air theatre. The next summer of 1950 he raised cucumbers again. This time he had more. He also worked at Mano Ranch at Raymond on weck-ends. On October 20, 1950 he was in a motorcycle accident in Cumberland Center, Maine. He died at 5:00 a.m. October 21, 1950. He left behind him all his friends, boys and girls alike, who were always so nice to him, Patty Brown, '55 Three PENNELL INSTITUTE ELLIOTT SMALL Bates College, B.S. Science, Social Studies GLENICE I.

SENIOR CLASS REPORT On September 5, 1950, we, the Class of 51”, met again, for our final year at Pennell. We started off this year by electing the following officers: President, Richard Ayer Vice President, Audrey Todd Secretary, Cora Leach Treasurer, Frederick Ayer Students Council Members: Carolyn Garland, Richard Ayer. Those participating in basketball from the senior class were Richard Ayer, Horace Libby, Robert Sawyer, Hubert Cobb, Frederick Ayer, Carl Du- plesa, Arthur Quint, Rita Sayward, and Muriel Verrill. Cheerleaders from our class were Carolyn Garland and Cora Leach. Our swimming teams consisted of Richard Ayer, Frederick Ayer, Horace Libby, Gordon Tufts, and Cora Leach. We have presented several social activities for the benefit of our class trip to Washington, on which we left April 6, and graduation which is to be held in June. All activities have been very successful. —M—————————M————— aww sÍ 7 Í —————H————— 1951 ——— — шш F. November 16 and 17, we presented a three-act play, “Аге You Mr. Butterworth?” We are grate- ful to Mrs. Ricker (director) and Mrs. Austin (make-up) for making our play a big success. We were also pleased to have Paul Bowen, one of our classmates who left us for the Marines, home to see us perform. Now that this is our last year, we want Mr. and Mrs. Carl Libby and Mrs. Norman Libby, as well as everyone else concerned to know how grateful we are to them for making our Minstrel Shows a great success. In the latter part of March we are presenting, with the Juniors, our last Minstrel Show and we know it is going to be the best. Last of all is graduation which we face a bit regretfully at the thought of leaving all our class- mates, friends, teachers and the happiest days of our lives, all of which we are beginning to appre- ciate more as the time draws near.

We also took part in the Minstrel Show with the Seniors this year. We had to keep pretty busy to complete the yearbook on time and get ready for press. Summing it up we have had a grand Junior year and hope our Senior year will be the same. Nancy Webb, '52 Fourteen E S —— — 1950 ی ا لے ` pU THE WHIRLPOOL SOPHOMORE CLASS First row, left to right: J.

SOPHOMORE CLASS REPORT Our second year at Pennell now nearly com- leted, we find it time to “take stock and look ack over our achievements. At the beginning of the fall term all our old classmates were back, twenty-two students; and the following officers were elected, for the year: Ruel Ordway, President; Richard Barter, Vice-President and Student Council Member; Ann Dingwell, Sec- retary; Phillip Richardson, Treasurer, and Patty Libby, Student Council Member. Early this year, Phillip Richardson moved to Texas, and we elected Burchard Dunn to take over the duties of Treasurer. Mary and Josephine Lockard joined us after the middle of the year. 1951 So far, we have sponsored two dances, and three one-act plays. We did well on the dances and the plays were not only a great success, but a lot of fun as well. Representing our class in basketball were: Patty Libby, Joanne Foster, Kenneth Hayes, Burchard Dunn, Stearns Caswell, and Richard Barter. On the cheering squad were: Judith Butler and Ann Dingwell. Representatives on the swimming tearn: Patty Libby, Richard Barter, and Stearns Caswell. This year has been quite successful, and we're hoping the next will be even better.

At our first class meeting we elected our class officers: Ronald Dolloff, President; Patricia Barter, Vice President; Anne Whitney, Secretary; and Edwin Strout, Treasurer. However, when Edwin Strout left school, Joe Ferri took his place as Treasurer. Nancy Cowie and Ronald Dolloff were clected to the Student Council. Н We thought Freshman Reception would be hard on us but we made а good time of it. Joe Ferri and Dale Maxwell played on the basketball team for the boys and the girls playing were Janet Foster, Nancy Cowie, Patty Barter, and Ethel Boynton. At one of our dances this year Ronald Dolloff Was elected Mr. Pennell of 1951. ANNE WHITNEY '54 Sixteen . ee «dO = THE WHIRLPOOL STUDENT COUNCIL First row, left to right: L. Libby, C. Barter, R.

STUDENT COUNCIL REPORT President—Richard Ayer Vice President—Clinton Barter Secretary-Treasurer—Muriel Verrill The Student Council this year consisted of ten members as compared with eight last year, with two representatives from each class and two from the Athletic Association. This year each class pres- ident automatically became a Student Council member. The members were as follows: Seniors, Carolyn Garland and Richard Ayer; Juniors, Bar- bara Pollard and Clinton Barter; Sophomores, Patty Libby and Richard Barter; Freshman, Nancy Cowie and Ronald Dolloff; Athletic Association, Muriel Verrill and Lawrence Libby. Sally Bowen was a representative from the Sophomore class, but upon her transfer to South Portland, Patty Libby was elected representative. 1951 Our aim was to better the school by enforcing laws set up by the Council, and by providing some much needed equipment for the school. The proceeds of the Magazine Drive, which were to go to the Athletic Association and the Student Council, were used to help purchase a movie pro- jector for the school. Another of our projects was to help the Athletic Association purchase new cheerleading uniforms, and on January 11, we sponsored a Variety Show, which helped our treasury a great deal. Recently we purchased another take-up reel for the projector. We have enjoyed this year on the Student Coun- cil, both work and fun, and we feel it has been a profitable one.

BARBARA POLLARD, ”52 Nineteen 1951 Lun O O 0 — OOOO PENNELL INSTITUTE ———————— ЕЕ SENIOR CLASS PLAY On November 16 and 17 we presented the senior play Are You Mr. Butterworth”. Robert Sawyer as the active bellboy, Carolyn Garland as the pert elevator girl, and Gerald Humphrey as the worried manager made the hotel lobby seem realistic. Cora Leach and Ruth Marsh were waitresses under Muriel Verrill who was the domineering Mrs. Benson, proprietor of the coffee shop; and they certainly were kept busy. Fred Ayer was the easily excited jewelry salesman. The moderate house detective was played by Dick Ayer (ably assisted by his pipe). Beverly Smith was the confused maid. Cecile Bilter almost stole the show as Mrs. Van Cleve, the old maid; and Audrey Todd, as Sylvia, a show girl, dressed the play up with her flashy clothes. Horace Libby was the much- discussed Mr. Butterworth. Our many thanks go to Mrs. Ricker who coached the play and put up with our roughhousing. She was also our prompter. Thanks to the capable stage hands, our stage was very attractive; and to Rita Sayward go our thanks for the programs. Aubrey Topp 751 SOPHOMORE CLASS PLAYS On March 16, our class staged three one-act plays, very competantly coached by Mrs. Elliot Small, Mrs. Ricker, and Mrs. Norman Libby. We owe our success entirely to their help. All of the class participated, either acting as members of the casts or help- ing as stagehands. We feel sure that this experience will prove beneficial in. any future dramatic attempts. Here is a summary of the plays: - “Conspiracy For Two”, coached by Mrs. Small; cast: Ann Dingwell, Judith Berry, Joanne Foster, Patricia Libby, Nancy Reed, Philip Humphrey, Kenneth Hayes, and Burchard Dunn. “Cornered”, coached by Mrs. Ricker; cast: Nancy Reed, Partricia Libby, Ruel Ordway, William White, Wayne Sherwood, and Stearns Caswell. “It’s the Simple Life , coached by Mrs. Libby; cast: Ann Libby, Joan Megquire, Judith Butler, Robert Gibbs, Fredrick Adler, and Richard Barter. The stage managers: Robert Doughty and Roger Swinington. The refreshment and ticket selling was handled by Josephine and Mary Lockard and Judith Berry. STEARNS CASWELL KENNETH Hayes Class of '53 Twenty Tw, es. THE WHIRLPOOL MINSTREL SHOW We of the Senior Class have been putting on Minstrel Shows each year since we were Sopho- mores. This year we are putting one on in con- junction with the Junior Class. We feel that we have done very well in the past and we hope that we will do all right this year. We have some new numbers that should go over in a good way. We Seniors have had a good time in preparing this, our last Minstrel Show, and we have, we believe, arranged for a good show this year. We started out a bunch of greenhorns, no one knew much about Minstrels, but we did know that we wanted to put on one. As the years went on, we needed less and less time to get ready for them. This year we really did not have too much time to work on it, but we feel that we will do a good job just the same. : The Minstrels have made more money for us than any other school function that we have parti- cipated in. They are certainly the most fun to repare. Now don’t get me wrong, because there is a lot of work to be done in putting on a Minstrel Show, but all the work is done practically without realizing it. 1951 We always have something to laugh about while we are rehearsing for the show. Near the end of the rehearsals, the end-men start telling their jokes, and then is when the fun really starts, for some jokes are old, some are new, and some are a little on the shady side, but everyone overlooks those, and takes them all in good fun. We are all looking forward to Thursday and Friday nights, with hope and happiness. We are hoping that the show will go over in a good way and we are happy because after that the next major function will be our class trip to Washington. Maybe we can go to see “Harry,” if he’s in Wash- ington, and run through our show with him as our piano player. It would be all right as long as Margaret doesn't want to sing with us. There is no doubt, in my mind at least, but what our show will be as much of a success as the two previous ones. If we do as well as we have done there will be no need to worry about what the public will think of our show. We have two of the finest coaches in the business to help us and we are willing to give them all the credit that they deserve. Without them we prob- ably would not have the reputation that we have for our Minstrels. by Robert K. Sawyer Twenty-one PENNELL INSTITUTE KEY CLUB REPORT In the latter part of February a Key Club was formed in conjunction with the Kiwanis Club. This club consists of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior boys who were picked by the principal. The main purpose of the club is to better the school in any way possible. At a meeting on February 26, we petitioned for a charter and elected the following officers: S.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA THE SCHOOL BAND The Gray School Band was organized May, 1950 under the direction of Mr. Ernest Hill, assisted by Mr. Carl Liberity, percussion and Mr. Alexander Pallang, reeds. The original membership was 26. This number has now increased to 37, with three majorettes. Because of ill health Mr. Hill and Mr. Liberity were obliged to discontinue their work with us during the summer of 1950. Since that time Mr. Pallang has carried on alone. There is a band practice every Wednesday at 1:30 at the gym. We have furnished music at the following events during the past year. Memorial Day, Old Home Day, Republican Rally, Cumber- land Fair and a Christmas Party at the Congrega- tional Church. On March 2nd we gave a concert in the gym which was well attended. We feel the past year has been a successful one and hope it will continue to be so in the following years. Judith Libby, '52 ORCHESTRA Under the able direction of Miss Hale, the orchestra has made two public appearances this year: at the concert given by. the orchestra and at the Hancock Jr. High Operetta. Because few went out for orchestra from Pennell, several Junior High students were asked to play in this group. The orchestra consists of three violins, two clari- nets, two saxophones, three trumpets, a bass horn, drums, and piano. G. R.

I plug away the livelong day And when practice starts the coach will say, “Get on the ball, now do it right, Show some spirit, show some fight.” So when the games do start, I find I'm on the bench with the rest of my kind, And there I sit the whole game through Wishing there were something I could do. The coach gets angry and glares and shouts, Then decides to pull the “regulars” out, Now, at last, my chance has come I try to look good, but look awful dumb. And when I go back to my seat I find the coach in an awful heat, And while he tells me what to do I sit and wait for the game to get through. Kenneth Hayes, '53 THE SUN The sun appears in the morning, Just like some beautiful queen, And the earth shines with its brightness, Though some days it can’t be seen, Its rays are cast across the carth, And help the plants to grow, Its shining face is full of mirth, Making diamonds in the snow. The sun is a faithful servant, Who never, never shirks, Just look all around you At its beautiful, marvelous works. It furnishes the earth with color, As it shines in the sky like a saint, Its beauties are beyond imagination That no artist e’er could paint. Its heat is felt by everyone; Sometimes it may be quite warm, But it was made that way for a purpose, Even though it may do great harm. 1951 It nourishes the earth all around us, And will shine 'til the last day is done, But I've never known anything so cheerful As that wonderful thing called the sun. Robert Gibbs, '53 CYCLE OF DREAMS Did you ever, at summer's end, Sleep beneath the maples tall, Dream and think of all the things That go along with the coming of fall? Of children hurrying off to school To study, and learn their lessons well, Of the flocks of birds now flying South To remain there for a tropic spell? Half dreaming, as you look around, You rest your eyes upon the trees And on the leaves of gold and brown That flutter in the autumn breeze. But better stop your dreaming now, To think of still another thing: Of winter that will come and go And the coming of the spring. And as you go to school each day Wishing that spring were here, Take each season as it comes For together they form a year. Nancy Reed, '53 TIME O, tree, so old and bent, You are but a gift, that God has sent, And all the years you have spent in toil Could not remove your roots from soil. Your limbs, now weathered and old, Once held leaves a thousand fold, Your fruitful days have gone past, Bygone days when you could stand weather's blast. You lived through periods of right and wrong, Have listened to sorrow and love birds' song; And now, old and your life near through, What stories you could tell, if alive were you. The limbs that droop were once so high They held your fruit up to the sky. The children, who 'round the trunk have played, Long since, their fortunes have been made. But, if you could live your life once тоге, You would not change it, I am sure; Because you have been so close to God With your roots so firmly in the sod. Kenneth Hayes, '53 STARTING OFF It's a cold frosty morning, And the fire feels so good; The coffee's gently perking, While the stove is stoked with wood. It's mighty hard to start, But we drag ourselves away From the heat of the kitchen As we start our hunting day. It's five o'clock already, With night's darkness hardly gone, But there's light enough to see by, And the deer are up at dawn. For a second all are wishing That they might be home in bed; But the moment quickly passes, And cheer comes in its stead. We are ready for the day, And here comes the sun; The guns are loaded quickly And hunting has begun. Stearns Caswell, '53 WHERE IMAGINATION DWELLS High upon a rocky cliff, Bathed by wind and sea mist, Is a house that I imagined... Its white bleached turrets sun-kissed. Imagination can run away, That I've read of old, But little do my books explain Of the beauty dreams can hold. This house, more beautiful than all, Has many tales to tell; Its lights are like a rainbow's arch, Where atmospheric beauty dwells. In this house are many mansions With comforts and desires untold; Those disheartened find an outlet; Those who wander find the road. And who, without some reverie, Can attain that needed Hope? True, a house of dreams may tremble, But with Life's problems it can cope. Ann M.

This is a great mistake because they show up as much as the more visible things. Improving the quality of your speech will enable you to be more successful in self- promotion. À person is judged by the manner in which he talks as well as by his appear- ance. You might say a person's character is as good as the language he uses. Writing also tells a great deal about one's personality. Neat writing, well-chosen words, well-built sentences and paragraphs are all good recommendations, because anyone who is careful about his writing will be careful about other matter. GERALD HUMPHREY, '51 OVERSLEPT I know I set the alarm For I heard its tinkling bell, And I know I turned it off That I remember well. I meant to get up I know, But I must have crept back to bed— And pulled the covers up Over my sleepy head. The moments turned to hours And here in bed I lie, Sleepy, and wondering yet How the sun has climbed so high! I know I set the alarm And turned it off, what's more! And I guess I rushed right back to bed To slumber and to snore. How soft my pillow and my bed; How guilty and good I feel, When, knowing I have to get up, Back to bed I steal! Robert White, '51 AUTUMN Autumn is the time of year when all the leaves that once were green turn to red, orange, yellow, and other pretty shades. As the autumn days progress, the leaves lose their grip on life and fall dead to the ground. % --” шен е ш етте Ге ЦЫ0 B | Eee | Not only are the leaves beautiful, but they also make a good noise. When you are walk- ing along through the leaves, they make a crackling, rustling sound. Although autumn has its good attributes, it also has its bad. Towards the end of autumn, when all the leaves have fallen off the branches, everything is brown, dry, and barren. The grass no longer has its fresh, green, appealing look, the leaves аге all dead, and the whole surrounding atmosphere seems to have a dead and chilly appearance. However, even though autumn is not the prettiest and best time of ycar, it is not here for very long; and as it leaves, winter comes in to take its place by covering everything with her beautiful white blankets of snow and dripping fingers of icicles. Nancy WEBB, 52 FALL Fall is here, I do declare, Time to get out long underwear. The leaves are falling every day, While children run in the wind to play. Kites are flying this way and that, Winds are blowing; there goes my hat! Hallowe'en with kids full of fright When witches and cats come out at night. Judy Libby, '52 GRANDMOTHER’S SURPRISE Grandmother was a typical grandmother of her time. She had five children, three grand- children, and four great grandchildren. She lived on a little chicken farm and, although she owned it, she could not take an active part in the running of it; so she had an old couple taking charge. You see, she was eighty-five and rather feeble. This day of all days seemed very important to her although other people didn’t seem to care. For many years, since her children were old enough to understand what a birthday meant, they had managed to have some sort of party in her honor; but this year, with everyone living so far away in bigger places, it seemed almost impossible for her family to be with her. She went to the porch and sat down to look over the beautiful scenery and renew old memories. There was the beautiful rose bush THE WHIRLPOOL all in bloom. It was there that her wedding picture had been taken. She was quite young then (for girls of those days married carly) and rather pretty, she thought to herself. Her new husb and had worked rather hard before their marriage to have the kind of house that she was accustomed to. After their marriage they were very happy and when the appearance of the first child was made, no two people could have been happier. Many hard times had followed but with these came happiness. Four other children came and then war started. Although her husband was not eligible for the fighting, he went to help build ships. One day, while he was walking along a beam, he slipped and plunged to his death. Much sorrow followed. Her children were grown now and were beginning to leave home to get married or to go to college, and she was left alone except when here children came to visit her. Soon she became a grand- mother, but she saw very little of her family except on holidays and her birthday. After many years she became a great-grandmother. Gradually she aged and became extremely weak. Yes, those were her memories. Not all happy but yet they were all hers. She sat there for a long time and finally went inside to her bedroom. Her companions had taken the day off (even they had for- gotten) to go to a movie. With a sigh she lay down upon the bed. She was very tired and sad. It was almost three and still no one came. In fact, no one called, sent a birthday card, or a telegram. They had just forgotten. No sooner had she fallen asleep when she heard a horn tooting. She thought that she must be dreaming. Then she heard it again. As quickly as she could she got to her feet and went to the porch. There, getting from their cars, were her family. Each came to her and gave her a big hug and kiss. Then they all went into the house and set the presents and food for the party on the table. After the party they all sat on the porch and talked over bygone times, laughing, sighing, and even getting sad at times. When they were leaving she started crying.

Its roots are long and round, With no end to them beneath the ground; These roots are its strength and,-in time, Make it stand erect in storm or shine. Its limbs stretch out from every side, And on most trees are large and wide; In evergreens there is no end, And, when winter comes, snow makes them bend. The leaves are its source of food, Though they're of many shapes and crude; They protect the birds from summer's wind and rain, And hide the squirrel from the hunter's brain. The tree's a wondrous thing on our great earth; It was here before our forefather's birth; And on a cold aad windy night It burns in the fireplace, warm and bright. Ruel Ordway, '53 THE WHIRLPOOL FRIENDSHIP Аз the twilight slowly fade, And shadows dim the evening sky, Our hearts are turned to those we love, Bound by the friendship tie. We breathe a prayer for them, Whose love we hold so dear; And though they may be far away, In thought they seem so near! For God has blest the tie That binds our hearts in love; Has blest it with a blessedness Like unto that above. When darkness of the night Around us creeps and settles deep, We shall dream of love and friendship, And rest in peaceful sleep. Judith E.

There are nameless sports of which I shall name a few: baseball, basketball, hockey, polo, softball, football, boxing, swimming, and skiing. These sports cannot take place unless capable men and women do their best. It is not always the individual who is the hero. Many of these sports such as baseball, basketball, hockey, and football for example, could not be played if it weren’t for the good teamwork. Teamwork in my mind is the best policy and is really the only policy if winning teams are to be produced. A man, no matter how good, is a hold- back if he can’s get along with his fellow players and opposition. Some sports help people gain back their health. It brings out the good in a person and also the spirit of fair play. Sports are responsible for giving the required exercise. In sports many people meet new friends who sometimes become lifelong friends. Baseball players work hard and long years sometimes before they reach their goal; but after the best reach the big leagues they have to keep on working hard to hold down their jobs. There is always some younger fellow waiting for his chance. Sports were all organized to furnish fun along with sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play. Let’s keep it that way!
