Besides having that all-around friendliness so admired hv everyone. the seniors also have the quality of industry, and have been ' engaged in many outside activi-1 ties. This year’s Pekinois editor.

S.” It looks as if we shall have a better and bigger P. C. H. S. this fall with approximately 250 incoming freshmen. There will be 191 students from Junior High. 14 from Homewood, 11 from rural schools, and 30 from South Pekin. There are 207 graduates this June as compared with 199 in ’38. while our present enrollment is in round numbers. 1300. Subtracting the graduates, and adding the freshmen to that total, we shall have almost 1350 students this fall. % JP --------------- A Priceless Something Young men and young women by the hundreds have graduated from the Pekin Community High School. All of them have taken a “priceless something’’ with them. I like to think that this “priceless something” is a certain sense of pride in having achieved a worthwhile goal. To those underclassmen who read this, may we say, “It is our hope that some day you too will take with you that ‘priceless something.’ ” As a parting word to Seniors. 1 call their attention to th“ PCHS Creed and their pledge to ‘‘cherish her memory forever. P. M. Paterson, Principal Just a few short days and tne four years of high school will be past. With it goes the close contact with friends who have endeavored to make your high school more enjoyable, and the association of teachers and administrators who have tried to offer something worthwhile. You now see the world from a very different angle for you are “on your own and only the benefit and profit of the past four years will now be of value to you. Remember to “Give to the World -the Best You Have That the Best May Come Back ’o You.” Edith Grainllch, Bean of Girls. “Pay up, play up, and shut up. Be not only good, but good for something.” My acquaintance with the graduating class of 1939 has been too short. Just because you have completed your high school career is no reason why we cannot become better acquainted. Mason Grigsby, Bean of Boys Quill And Scroll Initiates Neophytes On June 1 “Oh my legs! I’m so sore from sitting on my imagination that I won’t be able to sit on anything real for a week, let alone be in condition for the prom tomorrow night. So it will sound at the Quill and Scroll informal initiation on Thursday. June 1. which will be coached by Joe Rarick and Bernard Rosenberg. Although there will be some of the usual initiation “punishment.” most of it will he in keeping with the journalistic spirit and will not be as hard as a regular tiling in.” Those who will be initiated are Charleen Seibel, Marjorie Hnek-ler, Louise Striekfaden, Ale on Page 2, Col.., 1
