Here is the editor in-chief, Vernon Cox, taking it easy while the others of his staff burn the midnight oil. One of the prettiest girls in Pekin High and a very popular one, too — EILEEN ANDERSON. When it comes to typing and shorthand, IRENE MEIXSELL is among the best. JOHN MICHAEL was co-captain of the ’33 football team and a brilliant tackle. J. P. Morgan had better watch his fortune; — ORTNA GALLOWAY is studying how he made his money and is getting set to take it away from him. EMERY HARDENBROOK has the mien of a minister; did you see him as Reverend Pontifex Deetle in “The Lion and the Mouse ? WESLEY BENNETT is an all-around athlete who made history both in football and basketball—a fine example of the clean, wholesome youth of today. If there was ever a girl with a serene and even disposition, it’s JANET LITTLE. We wonder what lovely dreams TILLIE SCIORTINO weaves while she is learning to cook. The prayer of ROSS NORTON, who characterized so realis- y tically “Newt” Gillespie, is often “Onward, 011-L Jr ward, oh time in thy (light, and make the bell ring before I recite.” “Worry kills men; I’m in the best of health,” asserts EDWARD EDEN. One is inclined to believe that WILMA HILST, PHILIP HORCHEM, HOMER TURNER, and LOIS WEBER are camera shy as they did not have their pictures taken for the Pekiniaii.

 J uniors The juniors were a peppy, snappy bunch. '1' J? president was none other than Urban Albertson. The all-school play and the class play gave the juniors ability. Marion Walters starred in both the “Lion and The three other sisters in “Little Women , the Weber, Elverta Tomlin, and Dc Daun Smith. John SanhoTft man professor in a way to be remembered. The rest of Louisa NT hvAlcott’ characters were acted by Vernon Rohrs, Thurman Latiham, Juanita ben, and Milton Denekas. There were five seniors on the debate team, but Milton Denekas, an outstanding did exceptionally well as second speaker of the affirmative. When it came to muscle, the juniors were on top again. “Babe” White, known to his mother as Wilbur, headed an all-star group of athletes. Howard Flick, though not large, was right in the middle of every line play. “Knutc” Braden played beside him. Sylvester Horn held down the end position. Another lineman of value was “Dots” Renner. Halfback Jimmie St. Cerny really “ripped” off the yards. The annual junior prom was a real success. Members of the faculty and seniors were guests. The orchestra furnished irresistible music, and there were punch bowls, apparently bottomless, which proved very popular with all. The juniors’ past record has been colossal! Ouch!
