Yes. that's the catch! These hitch-hikers! Raehoal Little wants to hitch-hike to Oklahoma. and Evelyn Holland doesn't say where, but it could possibly be to Galesburg. When (ieorge Kline and Roy Andrews go to college next year, they’ll take a trailer and “cook themselves.” (Really — is that what they mean?) Joe Serangeli wants to travel, too. but to New York so he can jump off the Empire State Building. Happy landing. Joe. Best of all comes l ouise Strickfaden with the desire to become invisible. Who wouldn’t— at times? Perhaps our seniors should nave a day when they could carry out their suppressed desires, but as for us. we would rather not be present. skip an English VIII assignment LEFT HAND COLUMN Mildred Mazzarelli ••Winning is her way and pleasant is her smile.

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.

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. Universities are the vacation spot for many teachers including Mr. Adams and Miss Body, who are going to the University of Ilr linois. Miss Puckett. Miss Speers, and Mr. Nelson plan to attend the University of Iowa, while Miss Falkin is going to Colorado University. 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. Miss Trowbridge plans to attend the university in Seattle, Washington, while Miss Lockett will be at the University of Michigan. Mr. Atkinson is going to attend the University of California, and Mr. Miller is going to the University of Michigan, and then to Ohio. make It golf. Ilmira May Johannes and Louise Everwien play tennis during their free time, while Ellen Hieser writes letters to a boy in Holland. 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.
