Day Students This year the Day Student Body of The Pennington School is composed of forty-six boys. While many of the boys live in Pennington, New Jersey, other near-by towns including Trenton are well-represented. These boys are in the Seventh and Eighth Grades in the Lower School and Freshmen, Sophomores, Jun- iors, Seniors and Post-Graduates in the Upper School. Organized athletics such as football, basketball, baseball, and soccer contain a representation of day students. The pool is also a popular gathering place af- ter classes for the enjoyment of these boys. Day students are given the perogative of participating in the numerous activ- ities and extra-curricular events conducted at the school, such as the planned recreational programs and dances. Many of the day students join the boarding students in eating luncheon in the dining room, however, some prefer the canteen to which they have access. The boys of the Day Student Body are proud of the keen interest displayed by their mothers in the recently formed Mother's Club. All of the boys now enjoy a re-decorated and equipped recreation room which was one of the projects un- dertaken this year bythe club. The nearness of the day studentslmothers helped this project materialize much sooner. nr First Rowg L. to R.: W. Fisher,J. Higham,I. O'Nei11, I. Kersey, D. Galanos, J. Cox, W. Cole, S.

The Wesley Club The nine members of the Wesley Club which is named after John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, meet every Wednesday in the music room. The purpose of the club is two-fold, and it has many projects underway to accomplish each of its goals. First, as Christians, they must help to make others aware of God. To attain this they have taken part in the Sunday Chapel Services. Secondly, the club has made the public on the outside become more aware of the school by sending groups into the community. Some of their activities have been visiting churches such as Trinity Cathedral in Trenton, and taking a trip to New York to hear some of the outstanding preachers of our time. The club will also see the displays at the Metropolitan Art Museum. The Wesley C'1ub, under the able leadership of our Headmaster, Dr. Pirnm, was one ofthe most active organizations in the school. The officers of the club are Walter Cottrell, President: Ronald Howell, Chaplain, and Robert Price, Secretary. There is no doubt that next year the club will be even more active. We give a 'big hand' to these boys for their broad and practical view on a very important part of our life. 48

Approximately one-third of the boarding students participate in the singing. Club officers are: Conrad Youngbluit, Presidentg Jim Teamer, Vice Presidentg Burton Longwell, Librariang Lyman O'Neill, Sec- retaryg and Richard Harden, Assistant Librarian. The highlights of the year are our Christmas Carol Service with hundreds of candles lighting the Shaw Memo- rial Chapel, and the Mid-Year Musical which all the students enjoy. This year the boys sang popular as well as 'heavier' music. One of the best events of the year was the Spring Musical just before graduation. As in the past, the Glee Club has performed a useful service for the school. This year a new singing group, the sextet, was added to the program. The tenors, Jim Teamer and Dario Quirosg baritones, Burton Longwell and Robert Parry and bases, Andrew Guthrie and Fred Davis blended together quite well. They performed not only for the school, but for many other organizations in New Jersey. Their repertoire was vast, and they had the right numbers to suit the occasion. Our hats off to the six and Dr. Rarich for the entertainment that they furnished the school. L. to R.: Mr. Rarich, D, Quiros, I. Teamer, F. Davis, A. Guthrie, R. Parr, B. Longwell, 50
