THE PENSEMAN CLASS HISTORY I-IEN we entered the halls of Pennington in the fall of 1923, we were just a group of unsophisticated freshmen to furnish laughs for the rest of the school. The seniors seemed to delight in making us look and act like infants. The next fall, when we took our places as sophomores, we began to take an active part in the school activities. W'e had a few men on the athletic teams, and our sophomore play showed that we were a class to be considered and looked upon as one, that would in the future do big things for Pennington. VVhen we returned to school after the summer vacation, we found our- selves extending a hand of welcome to our old friends and new schoolmates. VV e immediately began work by having a large group of juniors out for the football team. We managed to supply six ofthe first team. However, our work had just begun, for soon there was a call for debaters, and three juniors stepped forth to carry the burden. The basketball team was greatly helped by the junior class, who supplied three of the first five. Five places on the baseball team were Hlled by members of the junior class, while the track and tennis teams found use for many more. The first and second places in the Field Meet were won by members of our class. As the year drew near a close, the class held its first meeting for electing the officers for the coming year. The following were elected: President Irwin, Vice-President E. Eaton, Secretary Flintzer, and Treasurer Cooke. The three years had passed swiftly, and we soon found ourselves in our last year at Pennington. The first event of the year was to form rules, which were to be obeyed by the new men and freshmen. At last we had reached the height at which we could dictate to those beneath us. The foot- ball, basketball, baseball and tennis teams were largely made up of seniors. The mid-year Prom, which was enjoyed by all, was held under the guidance of the senior class. The whole class has tried to hold high standards in both classroom and school activities. The publication of this book has been carried out through the whole-hearted support of our members. Before our class makes its exit from dear old Pen Sem, we wish to thank those who have helped to bring about the many happy moments which we have spent at Pennington. It is with heavy hearts that we leave our school and our beloved headmaster, Dr. Green, who has guided us through these four years of preparation. At last we must part and go forth, ever endeavor- ing to hold high the standards of Pennington. -EDWIN IRWIN. 16
