WHIRLPOOL ANNUAL OF 1957 EDITED BY THE JUNIOR CLASS PENNELL INSTITUTE GRAY, MAINE g EDITOR. ......... CHARLES CASWELL ASSISTANT... wc acces WALTER HAYES BUSINESS MANAGER, . . RONALD SAWYER ASSISTANT. ...... ELIZABETH PETTIS Ms We, the Junior Class of 1958 of Pennell Institute, are about to launch one of the most important memorabilia of our high-school years, the yearbook. In order to have a well-planned, successful yearbook, many things must be included in it, One of these is a well organized theme, a theme that symbolizes our lives in the past, present and fu- ture. We have chosen Doorways as our theme for we feel that we all pass through Specific phases, or doorways, in our lives. At birth we pass through our first doorway, the journey into life. Later on in our lives we step through one of our most important doorways, the doorway to Pennell. Here we dwell among our friends, our teachers, and the pleasures and enjoyments high-school has to offer. Here we leam many things in our preparation for our third and final doorway in this part of our lives, the doorway to maturity and adult- hood. We will never forget the memories and the learning which we have derived from passing through the doorways of Pennell.

Sawyer, who has been a member of the Pennell faculty during the past four years. Mrs. Sawyer is our class advisor who has given us faithful guidance throughout this year. She also was our seventh grade teacher in 1952. Mrs. Sawyer has always taken a great deal of personal interest in our athletic program. She has devoted her time for our Girl's Swimming Meets; in 1953 and 1954, she took care of Girl's Basketball training; and 1955, she was in charge of the Girl's Physical Education Course. With all our deepest gratitude we extend to Mrs. Sawyer our highest respect and appreciation. Jean Chipman 58 = 一- Mrs, Elbert C.

Because of his careful teachings || e A and strenuous workouts Pennell's Varsity has | h Nai 2 ! come a long way this year.

Much of the credit this year for enthu- e- siastic support of our basketball team | must go to the untiring efforts of both the varsity and junior varsity cheerleading squads under Mrs. Winton's direction. Both | sguads enthusiastically took the floor this year with new uniforms; the junior varsity having inherited the last years varsity garb. In addition to their rallying support for the team on Tuesday and Friday evenings they also play an important role in producing our successful pep rallies this year. The varsity squad regretted the loss of their cap- tain Connie Libby for reasons of illness , but we are fortunat2 in having her sister Jean, who is not pictured, with the squad.

Pennell's field day showed some fine qualities in many of the boys. All running events were won by Donald McKeen and the weight events were taken by Morris Beal and Charles Humphry.

CHEERLEADING TOURNAMENT | This year because we felt that the cheerleaders put in so many hours of practice and received so little re- cognition we decided to hold a Cheerleading Tournament. | J Out of the ten schools that were invited only seven were able to attend, but it was evident that all seven | schools had worked very hard hoping to take home the first prize trophy. ) EJ 3 The judges, from Edward Little High School, had a difficult job to pick the winners because all the schools 1 E [ | did so well, but they finally gave their decision and the first place trophy went to Pennell. à: 5 t We hope to continue these tournaments in the future.

On October 24 and 25 the Senior Class presented their annual a comedy in three acts known as Professor, How Could You! The chief character in the play was the Professor, around which the action ofthe play revolves, The whole theme of the play is the selection of a wife for the Professor, who is not entirely of the mind that he wants a wife, When several of his friends decide to take matters into their own hands, things became pretty complicated, Situations have a way of working themselves out, however; in Spite of all the difficulties, the play has a happy ending. The Seniors owe the success of their play to Mrs, June Freeman Long, for her generous contribution of time and energy in directing the play.

MAY Bist, 1869. be SOND NI AA AA SR tains SAA ELE MK DAN LA PA m Sa ieee tee _ The building proceeded very slowly; I never knew why. On September 7, 1886, The Large doors were opened wide and the enormous bell welcomed a large number to Pennell Institute, which on that day became a permanent institution of the town of Gray. A It's donor, Henry Pennell, had been a life long resident of the town of Gray. Perhaps because he had an early life of poverty, he had made the saving of money his life long interest. He had accumulated a large amount of it. Many stories were told of his closeness as it was called, some of which were true, as the one where he split a match to light his pipe, and the one of the time when he returned The paper bag containing crackers, and took an- other cracker in exchange But money was what he was after, and about which he never lost his presence of mind. Money he accumulated, buying up real estate and rich farms in neighboring areas, loaning money at a high rate of interest-never less than 10 Per cent, and buying more and more real estate and loaning more and more money. He was entirely uneducated, signing his business transactions with an X instead of signing his own name. One day when he was nearing old age, a neighbor said to him, Henry, you were born in this town, you married Aunt Mary, (his wife was always known as Aunt Mary, a lovely old lady and was much beloved in the village) you have made much of your money right here. Why won't you do something handsome for the town of Gray where you will live the rest of your life? We need a high school building in the town. Build a good high school, Henry, one that will stand long after you die and name it Pennell Institute. Well, replied Henry (influenced perhaps by the proposed name) Baggerit all, I don't know but what I will. What the word 'Baggerit all! meant no one knew. So far as I know he never was profane I will start it the year before I die, he said. How can you know when you will die? asked the neighbor, and for once his power for reckoning failed him and he said, I'll start it tomorrow, and so he did. It was built after the fashion of the day with one large and several small classrooms on the first floor anda large hall on the second, for class meetings, dedications and sometimes large town meetings. There were five members to graduate in that first class, four girls and one boy. The principal was a native of Gray, a graduate of Bates College, but from ill health quite unfitted for the position of principal. He taught very few classes. The school was fortunate in its assistant leader, Miss Ermma Bickford, a graduate of Bates College. In our Latin classes we read six books of Caesar, six orations of Cicero, and six books of Aeneid. Several days a week we had English literature - so called, some of the famous English poems were read and sometimes were required to be memorized. Rhetoric came once a week. Once a month there was an afternoon of speaking pieces in the large upstairs hall There was no instruction in music or art as there is today. At the end of three years graduation was the occasion of town wide interest, as it was the first from the new school. It was held in the beautiful old Congre- gational church where the modern one stands today. The graduation was held on May 31, 1889, a beautiful, sunny, spring day. For an inexplainable reason there was a custom at the time on special occasions held in the church to use artificial lighting in the daytime instead of the sunshine and out-of-doors light. It seems strange now to me that we did not object to such a foolish custom. The church was filled and it was a day to be remembered by the school and the town alike as the first graduation from the new school. My father, the pastor of the church, con- ducted the opening exercises of the day with a short reading from the Bible followed by a prayer and the graduation exercises. The exercises in the afternoon were held in the hall of Pennell Institute. The dedication of the building, a presentation of a portrait of its donor and speeches by several of the town's people were witnessed. 55 PENNELL'S JANITORS COOKS The cooks at hot luches have done a tremendous job feeding us this year.
