O oreojorcT Long before students from the junior high school are ready to enter Penn, one can hear them singing lustily: Dear William Penn and each one looks longingly to that time when he will proudly hail the blue and white and shout: We are the tigers! The mighty, mighty TIGERS! As we pause here, to reflect, it is easy to recall the many reasons why so many hold Penn so dear. There are helpful, understanding administrators; kind, interested, well- qualified teachers; a vast store-house of knowledge; many opportunities to participate in a variety of extra-curricular activities; a vast array of experi- ences through which we are able to apply the knowledge gained; fellowship with students and teachers; hard work, delightful play. At times we have seemed unresponsive and unappreciative, but we were groping to find our way. We have learned our lessons well, adjustments have been made and we have been challenged to achieve higher standards. We shall always feel grateful to William Penn that we were privileged to have passed this way. 4

He comes earliest and stays latest; is never too hurried to stop and explain or counsel with students. He is chairman of the mathematics department and of the senior sponsors, coordinator of visual aids, advisor to the mathematics and science club and the Hi-Y, homeroom advisor of 12-1, a member of the Student Activities Committee, and he performs a host of other duties. He is a diligent worker, a delightful personality, a loyal friend, and a devoted teacher. For these reasons the 1965 Pennpoint is dedicated to Mr. H. L. Hawkins. 6
