Lois Sommer found that her last name worked in well with her slogan. Pekin High will shine In the good ole Sommer time.” The campaign was the cleanest ever conducted, although five strong candidates were listed on the ballot. As many said, it was a hard job to select any one person. but no matter who would have got the job. it would have been capably handled. The candidates and their managers in the past campaign were Harry Zimmerman. Bernard Rosenberg: Mary Alice Conkel. Dave Hammer; Don Wilcox, .lim Gaels; l.ois Sommer, Jim Diehl; Dick Bell, Gone Smedley. Good luck to Harry Zimmerman in lOSft-MO. This year's president, Norma Depart, has been tops, and so Bud will have a tough job to fill her shoes.

Campaign Highlights of 39 Harry Zimmerman outclassed all the rest of the candidates at the |k»11s a few weeks ago. to win the important position of Student Council President. The athletic department was almost entirely behind “Bud.” as shown in the parade at noon on election day. “Barney” Rosenberg, in his new car. led the parade for Bud. with fifteen or so cars in its makeup. Outstanding among these cars was a truck packed like a sardine can. The poor fish in the truck were the South Pekin Zimmerman backers. larv Alice t’onkel. with her erstwhil e manager, Dave llain-mer, ran a close race for the presidency. Her “barefoot” idea caused quite a stir when some fellows gave the students a preview of what could he expected. (Special)—Some rivals thought up the idea of spreading carpet tacks about the corridors to make walking a difficult (ask for the barefoot boys. The bulletin hoards really got some fancy decorating. Dick Bell’s board, in the writer’s opinion, held a slight edge over the rest. Artist Boh Shuler did a neat job of painting. Honors for the cleverest |M»st-ers go to Don Wilcox. His |K st-ers included pictures of the well known comic strip characters, Jiggs. The Goof, ami others, accompanied by a clever saying or I slogan. (■Continued on page 21. col. 1 ) W. J.

We pay our final tribute to those fellows who so successfully carried the colors of P. C. H. S. during the past four years.

Roy was to be found each fall lugging the leather over on James Field. Andy saw quite a bit of action as a varsity back in 1937, and as captain last fall closed his career in fine style. HOB CRAINE: An air minded young gent. ' Last year overshadowed by the great Lull, this year he is really coming into his own as a pole vaulter. Craine's the lad who j was up in the air with the girls quite a bit. too. BOB BOREN: Pekin’s quietest athlete, who I so successfully stuck with basketball for four years, and was re-i wardei with the captaincy of the team in ’38-’39. As a sideline in the spring. Bob heaved the jave-! lin. and also chucked a few of i the varsity baseball games. EVANS FARR: Here's the fellow who was kept busy all the time by sports activities. Ev came to Pekin as a sophomore to compete on the varsity football, wrestling, and track teams. Hats off to one of the two. three-sport letter winners of the senior group. Captain Evans Farr. WARREN FREIDINGER: “A country boy makes good. Warren discovered, when he was a sophomore, that he was a track man. He didn't mind when folks said he was up in the air: he was a high jumper with quite a reputation. Elizabeth Apfel Quietness l« best.” Girls' Club; Hall Cadet.

GEORGE HER( HENRODER: George has three years of varsity football play to his credit. Hershy’s effectiveness lay in the fact that no one could hold on to him when he carried the ball. He also furnished the spark that kept the team keyed up; on the I field and off. GEORGE KLINE: Another Pekinite who so successfully backed the football | ball team for two years, after j being transferred from Peoria . Central, is George Kline. George, however, was out most of last football season with a broken collar bone received early in fall practice. BOB LEE: Known to the girls as tall. ! dark, and handsome.
