Lowell Society In 1923, Dr. Green organized a club devoted to literature and called it the Lowell Society in honor of James R. Lowell. Since that time it has become one of the most active clubs in the school. lt has become the chief rival of the Agas- siz. Club and a traditional annual basketball game has been played between the clubs. This year the Lowell Society has taken an active part in the life of the school. Officers were elected during the first meetingg Morris Fabian, Presidentg H. Arthur Smith, Vice-Presidentg Conrad Youngbliut, Secretary and Colin Smith, Treasurer. The Society took frequent trips to the Bucks County Theater during the fall and saw Millicent's Cast1e , Dial M for Murder , and Murderwithout Crime , also Bus Stop , performed in Princeton. In the early part of the year, the club took a trip to Trenton to see The Egyptian , a motion picture. For the remainder ofthe year the club plans many trips, including a Shakespearian play to be given at Princeton. Largely because of the aid and in- spiration of our advisor, Mr. Cragin, this has been a successful year. He has helped the club in carryingout its main objectives, the furthering of Lit- erary understanding. L. to R.: C. Yungbliut Sec., C. Smith Treas., M. Fabian Pres. A. Smith Vice-Pres. 4-6

The President is elected by the council itself from the Senior Class representation, whereas, the other officers are elected from the entire group. Officers for the year 1954-55 were as follows: Barry Coleman, Presi- dent, Paul Kelly, Vice-President, Zane Gordy, Secretary-Treasurer. Advisor to the Council was Dr. Bunce, Dean of the school. The Council , as it is referred to by most Penningtonians, presents the opportunity for the students to offer their ideas for better management of cer- tain school affairsjust as it givesthem a chance to express themselves in mat- ters pertaining to the government of the student body. During this year, the council suc- ceeded in several projects, some of which were: the allowing of wearing coat type sweaters as well as sport N coats, the playing of music in the din- ing room, the formation of rules, and their enforcement, for the recreation room, and the formation of a longer study period for the students. The existence of the Student Council in Pennington School has proven the fact that, with such, there can be a better relationship between student body and Pres Dr Bunce F Nudes Dis Rep B Coleman admlni5tTati0n- Pres::Z.Cordy Sec.. i H i 4-5 L. to R.: D.

We renewed our membership charter in The Science Clubs of America, with Mr. Kersey serving as our advisor.

All members must maintain a scholastic ave rage of eighty percent or better and have certain citizenship requirements to be eligible.

This year we enjoyed films supplied by various industries and shared many of them with the whole student body. particular phase of science which was his special interest. In March the club invited the Chemistry classes to join them on a tour of the world's largest chemical plant, Dupont Chambe rs Works in Pennsgrove, N. J. There we were conducted by bus over the whole plant and then through the Jackson Lab- oratories. Many other trips such as R. C. A. laboratories, Fairless Steel Plant, and Atlantic City Electric, are in the final planning as we go to press and we are quite sure of winning the annual Lowell-Agassiz. basketball game. We feel that we have had a very profitable year which has been benefi- cial to the entire student body as well as to the club members. 47 At each meeting a member spoke on a we 5.4 - .121 .1 i gg 'z f Tiff 5 H L. to R.: G.
