Foreign Students Yearly, a great many foreign students come to our Pennington School. Here we meet with new knowledge as well as new social life. Although our hearts remain at Home, sweet home, we feelquite at home here. With great exertion, we learn the American ways, ideas and English. Of all the subjects we have, English is our most difficult, because we have to translate nearly everything into our native tongue first. With the help of Special English, we conquer most of the difficulty. This year we have boys from: Cuba, Venezuela, Aruba, Colombia, Greece, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. On Feb. 5th, the Pennington School had the honor to present one of our foreign student's sister to give apiano concert to the student body. Miss Mirna Ruiz received a standing ovation from the boys, who had enjoyed her impressive concert. We will never forget what the school has done for us and the new friends we made here. i 'H First Row: L, to R.: I. Pina, C, Wong, D. Quiros, F. Agusti, R. Pina, I. Echeverri, F. Villegas.

Choir and uartet Abigger and better group of singers made up our choir this year. Under the direction ofMr. Rarich, the boys worked very diligently. Their hardest job was to prepare the nucleous of the Vester Service every Sunday. After doing a commendable job, they undertook out- side singing engagements, one of these being at Mr. Kersey's church. The highlights of the Choir programs were the Christmas Carol Service and the Lenten Program. Mr. Rarich and the boys deserve a big hand for the work and time spent during the year. A new quartet started this year. Those chosen were James Teamer, lst ten- org Dario Quiros, Znd tenorg Robert Parr, baritoneg and Frederick Davis, bass. Their first performances were the Christmas Candlelight Service and the Mid- Year Musical. Mr. Rarich directed the 'four' and they achieved well-balanced singing that made them so popular. This was truly a fine group of singers. II. to R.: Mr, Rarich, R. Parr, D. Quiros, F. Davis, J, Teamer. First Row: L. to R.: R. Harden, I. Pina, L, Brown, J, Cox, R, Brockway, R. Parr, C. White, B.

It is their job to cook and supply appetizing meals all year long. There have been many favorable comments about the food this year and it is generally agreed that it was an improvement over last year. The credit for this must go to Mrs. Kersey, our able dietitian. Several new dishes were added to the menu and were well liked. Louis, our dependable first chef was ably assisted this year by a new second chef who made a big difference in our pastries and other desserts. We would like to compliment Louis on his very fine soup which has been a highlight of the meals here for some time. The waiters must come in for their share of credit too. Fast service, with a smile, was their watchword, and each meal was brightened by their sunny dis- positions. Credit for the fast service may be attributed to the work of the boys who bring the food from the kitchen, as well as to the waiters. They all dida fine job this year and we would like to thank them sincerely for their service. As extra activities, there were the banquets that were handled quite well by the staff under the direction of Mr. Kersey. lt's hats off from the class of '55 to a fine group of people who served us well. 53
