The president has already met 1 with the new cabinet which con- j sists of Harriett Zimmerman.! vice-president; Patricia Moore, junior representative; Jean Rogers. sophomore representative; Jean King, freshman representative; and Miss Gramlich. adviser. This group has discussed ways of improving and doing things for the school during next year, and has selected the following girls to serve on the council together with the cabinet: Bernice Sanders. Eleanor Galbraith. Jessie Krazier. Mary Ellen Thomas. Janice Cooper, and El’a May Williamson. A successful year with a strong council is expected for the coming term.

Even Dignified Seniors Have Embarrassing Moments Of all the students in P. C. H. S. our seniors seem to have the biggest share of embarrassing moments. Jeanne Tackenberg was rightfully embarrassed the other evening when a group of her friends called up a boy (namely Bob I)oren), impersonating her, asked him to go to a co-ed party. Hob McDonald says his most embarrassing moment was when Catherine Philips asked him to go to the prom. Norma Stocker!, of all people, was terribly set back when she was sent to the penalty hall for chewing gum in class. Well, seniors can’t get away with everything. I do believe Joe Ranch holds the prize for the most embarrassing moment. One night, while roller skating over to Grace Arnold's house, he fell down and tore the seat of his pants. It was too late to go back and change, (Joe's motto is never be late i, so he just tied his sweater around his waist, at Grace’s suggestion. Gene Smcdley must be a superhuman—he says he has never had an embarrassing moment. However, after much deep thinking. he finally admitted that thinking out loud causes much embarrassment. Jim Garls’ special moment was when he struck out with the bases loaded, and the home crowd practically brought down the skies with boos. Eileen Hines just doesn’t know right from left. At any rate she was frightfully embarrassed In a dance recital when all the other dancers went one direction, and she made the big mistake of going the other way.

Alice Solterman gives what she considers very important advice to freshmen: Go out for sports; that’s where most of your fun at P. C. H. S. comes in.

Hobbies Of Our Seniors Are Different, Unusual, Alarming, Breath-Taking Every person must have something to break the monotony of school books, teachers, and classes. Usually students collect stamps, read books, or sleep for a hobby. Our seniors are different in this respect. They don't even consider such things, as they have much more interesting and unusual hobbies. It seems that collecting various knick-knacks appeals to many girls. We’ve heard of collecting stamps and matches, but who ever heard of collecting cigars? Thai is the hobby of Anna Wys who has a large number of them. The one she prizes most Is nearly a foot and a half long. And she says it’s real! Jeanne Taokenberg has saved a paper napkin from each restaurant she has gone to for the past two years. IMiyliis Alfs just collects souvenirs (after 7:30 P. M.). while Elizabeth McI eod has specialized in perfume bottles during this last year. Pekin High also has scrapbook makers who love to ‘‘cut and paste.” June Kraeht is making a big book of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The scrap-hook of Lareldn Lawson, however, is quite different for it includes all hoy friends. Larelda's second-choice hobby Is playing ping-pong with Bud.” “See the birdie?” That’s the hobby of Jim Garls and Mildred Gregersen for they love to develop pictures. Anita Kieci joins the group without a hobby, but she’s 'gonna’ (Continued in col. 4) ABTS FUNERAL HOME KNOWN FOR SERVICE SIXTH AND BROADWAY RIGHT HAND COLUMN Laura May Johannes ’Tin the song she slugs, mid the smile she wears.

Toot! There goes the train, and Miss Gramlich almost missed it for she is California bound. Miss Hansen also plans to spend her vacation out West, including the California Fair.

Miss Todd is going to take in several places, including the University of Boston, the New York Fair, and then spend the remainder of her time in Ohio. Miss Larson will spend her vacation in Evansville. Indiana. The New York World’s Fair seems to be quite an attraction to many teachers. Mr. Bone plans to attend Columbia University in New York, and will visit the fair in his free moments. Mr. Grigsby also plans to visit the New York World’s Fair. Mr. Durman will attend Cornell University in New York City, and will then visit the fair. Miss Francis will be at the university in Bloomington. Indiana.

Just imagine what Virginia Moore gave as her hobby, though —going with Tremont kids. But did you hear the latest? Narnia Stockert and Evelyn Holland are striving for a halo as their hobby. We wish success to all these enterprising seniors, however, no mattei what their hobby may be.
