PENNELL SONG Pennell, dear old Pennell, To us you seem so dear. What we are hereafter We owe our school days here. Let days seem bright or dreary, Let things go right or wrong. Well sing with cheerful hearts The words of this old song. Cnonus We have come here day by day As the hours pass away. Every year here brings us nearer To the time when we shall part, Care and sadness in our hearts We will think of the days spent here. Kant E, Lrnny, Sn., '20 pra Kenneth Hayes couldn't draw?

The Freshman class has contributed its share of basketball players this winter and we hope some will be chosen for baseball. Ken- neth Hayes and Burchard Dunn were on the varsity basketball team, and Stearns Caswell and Richard Barter were on the Junior var- sity. Judith Butler and Patricia Libby played for the girls’ basketball team. The boys who went out for fall baseball were: Kenneth Hayes, Robert Gibbs, Stearns Caswell, and Ruel Ordway. The cheerleaders from the Freshman class were: Judith Butler and Ruel Ordway. 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 wer e 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. SENIOR Cy CLASS REPORTS The class officers were: President, Ruel Ordway, Vice President, Wayne Sherwood, Secretary, Robert Libby, Treasurer, Judith Butler. The members of the Freshman class were very co-operative in paying their dues. The class consists of twenty-nine pupils, seventeen boys and twelve girls. Although the Freshman class had the low- est average in rank during the first term, we climbed to the highest during the third and fourth terms. Rue Onpwar, '53. STEARNS CASWELL, '53, 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 lun 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 awimming team: Patty Libby, Richard Barter, and Stearns Caswell. This year has been quite successful, and we're hoping the next will be even better. Ann Dingwell, '53 We started the year with twenty-four students. Josephine Lockard and Lois Henry left and Robert Gibbs moved away. Our class officers are the following: President Ruel Ordway Vice-President Richard Barter Secretary Nancy Reed Treasurer Kenneth Hayes The Juniors who participated in basketball are: Kenneth Hayes, Richard Barter, Bur chard Dunn, and Patty Libby. In baseball: Kenneth Hayes, Richard Barter, Burchard Dunn, Stearns Caswell and Ruel Ordway. We had one cheerleader, Patty, Libby. The annual Junior Prom was held in November, it went off very nice- ly. We have held quite a few dances and put on three one-act plays. We also took part in the Minstrel Show with the Seniors. Everything was quite successful. The Junior Class has really had a very sventful year and we hope our senior year will be equally successful. | e SENIOB LITERARY Pio 1950 % id) VALUE OF ATHLETICS Some people believe that too much stress is placed on athletics. They believe that it is all right to have sports, but that when athletics are put over school subjects it is time to stop. One of the reasons is that in many of our present colleges money is given athletes for playing. Sports are a source of income for many of our high schools. The receipts are used to buy sporting equipment in most high schools and colleges. Some people belicve athletics develop sound, clean minds and a will to strive for success, and that athletes make better citizens. To be sure, athletics develop a rugged, competitive spirit, but is this sometimes destroyed by too much glory? How much better citizen wi l the plain non-sportsminded fellow make than the athlete? To me athletics are worthwhile and im- portant to a democratic nation. It is one thing in which everyone has an se chance, and whether a man is dark or white, it does not mean he is a better athlete. Kenner Hayes, 53. gm, e A ] ! o. A 951 LA ZDE STARTING OFF IIt's a cold frosty morning, And the fire feels so good; TThe coffee's gently perking, While the stove is stoked with wood. It's mighty hard to start, But we drag ourselves away FFrom the heat of the kitchen As we start our hunting day. He's five o'clock already, With night's darkness hardly gone, BBut there's light enough to see by, And the deer are up at dawn. IFor a second all are wishing That they might be home in bed; IBut 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 a 1951 Dr THE TREE The tree, Nature's gift, so high, Towers upward to the sky; Its age depends upon its rings, Which are peculiar looking things. Its roots are long and round, With no end to them beneath the graund; These roots arc 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 ben The leaves are its source af food, Though they're of many shapes and crude; They protect the birds from summer's wind a 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, '5: kConom 1951 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.

He gave $25,000 for the building to be built. Pennell Institute was erected in 1876. It was opened in 1886. The town had no say of how the school could be run until a few years ago. It was under the say of three trusteea. They had the say of who could be teachers and when they would be fired, The laboratory, which is now the Home Economics Building, was erected in 1899. Upstairs was the chemistry room. Downstairs was the physics room, The two main drinking fountains were given by H. L. Foran, and the alumni of Pennell Institute. The Newbegin Gymnasium was erected in 1938. Part of the money was given by George Newbegin and the rest with the help of a government grant, The Manual Arte Building was erected in 1950. It was opened in early 1951, There is no recorá of how many pupils were first enrolled in Pennell Institute There was one large room upstairs. They had a stage and they held all the plays and assembly meetings there. Up st airs was the Junior home room. Downstairs in the main room was the Freshmen and Senior home room. Whet is now the library was the Sophmore hone room. There is no record of when Henry Pennell died, but George Newbegin died in 1936, Mr. Small is now the They are Mra, Long, Mr. Mr. Tobin, principal. There are six other teachers. Dunn, Mr. Daigle, Mrs. Dews, Mre. Freeman, and Lorraine Hunt, '56. Maine, the Land of Remembered Vacations The tourest industry of Maine 18 very large. Over 450,000 people visit Maine each year. More than half of them spent their vacation at Maine's beautiful coast. Maine summer resort hotels have a variety of locations to suit all tastes. There are also many over- night camps and cabins. Mt. Desert Island is one famous resort. The heautv of M Buty of Maine's coast cannot be rivaled anywhere. Inland the combination of mountains and lakes presents a beautiful senic effect, Sebago Lakes Rangely Lakes, and Belgrade Lakes are very well known, Meine has many fine for the many people who come to In Maine visitors Can enjoy any kind of sport or entertain- ment. Golf cources can be found any where. Many summer resorts feature horseback riding, Hiking is everybody 1 have trails leading to the top for mountain climbing.

Deep sea fishing for tuna, mackerel, cod, and haddock is very favorable. Maine has been called the Hunter's Paradise because of its great forests In Maine also, is the historical town of Pemaquid of which it has been said, It has more history to the square foot than any other place in New England, It is little wonder that people call Maine the Land of Remembered Vacations. Julia Currie, '56, 32 THE SENIOR CLASS The Seniors began the year with twenty-two students. We found two new faces among the familiar ones, those of William Fernstrom from Portland and Viestrus Pavasars from Long Island, New York. Robert Doughty left school in the fall. Ouf class officers for the year are as follows: President-Burchard Dunn Vice-President-Viestrus Pavasars Secretary-Nancy Reed Treasurer-Ann Dingwell Student Gouncil-Patricia: Libby We have had many activities this year such as the food sale, „= selling Christmas cards, and selling milk at noon. We sponsored’ «y the annual Senior Class Play, the Maypole Dance, the Cabaret, and a Ken MacKenzie Show. These, plus other functions of years past benefited our class trip to the Shenandoah Valley which we all think was worth our struggles. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Dunn were our Chaperones during the trip.
