We joined the Freshmen A’s, thereby increasing our number to one hundred and six. Soon after this union was made, the following officers were elected: President..... Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurer. .. . Class Advisor. ...Evert Carver . ...Lucile Reise Benjamin Becker ....Louis Balcke ....Miss Russell We selected blue and white as class colors and the white rose as our class flower. Two very enjoyable parties were held in the “gym.” One, a “kid” party, was a huge success. (That’s not saying the other wasn’t.) At the beginning of the second term, we met and elected the following officers: President...........................................Louis Balcke Vice-President...............................................Hector Buckley Secretary..................................................Benjamin Becker Treasurer............................................Robert Hinners Class Adviser... .Miss Dallenback (later known as Mrs.Denhart.) A truck party was held during the first semester. All present reported a fine time. The second semester we enjoyed a picnic at Grove Siding. The chief sports were “water-fights.” At the P. H. S. Carnival, given by the B. A. A. and G. A. A., our class put on a Freak Show. This proved one of the attractions of the evening. The third term has rolled around. We are now full-fledged Juniors. Our officers for the year are: President...........................................Robert Hinners Vice-President......................s.............Virginia Robbins Secretary....................................................Louise F.mmerling Treasurer......................................................Carl Schlottman Class Advisor........'..................................Miss F.nnis We have held but one party this year. The memory of this party will always remain with us. All who were strong enough to brave the “storm” reported a fine time. Our class is represented very well in the various forms of athletics. We hope that there are some undiscovered athletes who will bring additional glory to our class as well as Pekin High. Twenty-Nine
