X Dedication We, the members of the Class of 1961 do hereby dedicate and submit this edition of THE PEN- SEMAN to our friend and confidant of many years' standing, Mr. l-larold Poore. Coach, as he is known to all of us, has been the main force in the school athletic program since 1927, and in that time has produced many outstanding teams in all of the sports in which the school participates. During his years on the faculty, Mr. Poore has won .the respect of teachers and students alike for his quick wit and fierce determination. Through his intolerance of habits detrimental to health and his fine sense of sportsmanship, he has set an example of manhood which any of us would be proud to emulate during our lives. Although the efforts of his teams on the athletic fields have suffered during the last few years. because of the reconstruction of the academic standing of the school, it is obvious that the Redmen are once again on their way to the domination of the sports scene which they enjoyed during the years of the fabled Pen-Sem teams. If this year's record is any indication of the years to come, his efforts and frustrations will have reason behind them. f Though he is not noted for his eloquent oratory, Mr. Poore has possibly said more in his straight- forward way than have others who employ more flowery modes of speech. In his talks at our pep rallies, through his fine sense of humor and personal desire to win, he has instilled more spirit in us than have all of the fiery and stinging tirades we have heard only too often in the past year. We thank you. Coach. for all you have done for us and our Alma Mater, and we wish you many more years of success. On to victory. ' 3

Dr. Smyth Some few months before his death, it was my privilege to have an interview with the great American industrialist, Eugene G. Grace of the class of 1894. After making a name at Pennington, he attended Lehigh University and spent most of his active business life with The Bethlehem Steel Company serving as president and chairman of the board. During our chat Mr. Grace recalled with vivid clearness his school chums, his teachers, and his school days at Pennington. He was grateful for all that life on the campus meant to him. For most of the youth who have gone out from Pennington's halls, these acres seem to have been holy ground. Life must move through many experiences with the passing years, but few equal and none surpass the precious hours on Heritage Field, Shaw Memorial Chapel, the class rooms and the ancient dormitory halls. To all who go forth now, we extend our highest hopes for a rich and full life. And like Eugene Grace of the class of '94, may the successes of life serve to prove the value of your Pennington days.
