Lower School In a school such as this, adjustment to responsible independence cannot be stressed too early in the student's life. In the Lodge, the boys of the Lower School are given the individual counseling they need along with a degree of independence, channeled to the cultivation of their maturity. Their classwork is closely supervised, as is their study time, assuring careful and accurate prepara- tion of their studies. If they do not gain the best study habits now, they are not likely to do so later in their career. Although the main objective of the school is learning, its sports program is a healthy diversion from the rigorous schedule of classes. In the Lower School, the boys compete with other school groups of their own age. Many young athletes have developed skill and experience this year, both in sports and sportsmanship. This year has been a rewarding one for all of the boys, as will be the following years here at Pen- nington. 55

Theyhave been a source of both joy and sor- row to the Administration. The majority of the boys, though, are gentlemen in the true sense of the word, and will go far in the future. There are as many reasons for their attendance as there are P.G.'s. Most of them are here be- cause of poor study habits or be- cause of the lack of ability of their home schools to prepare them for the colleges of their choices. We hope that while they were here, they made the best of their time, and are now sufficiently prepared to continue their education. Special Students This year, the halls of Pen- nington have been graced by the presence of three special students. These boys, who have no classifi- cation, are nonetheless an integral part of our school. Coming from the Congo, Thailand, and Cuba, these boys represent a wide hori- zon of experience and knowledge. All of them have won our respect and admiration here at Pennington, and we are sure that others they meet here in the U.S. will feel the same.
