Did you faint in the spurt ID here the hot dust choked and burned? Did yon breast the tape ’midst the flying dirt That the leader’s spikes had spurned? Did you do your best— Oh. I know you lost. I knozc that your time was bad. The best of it since the beginning, lad. Is in faking your licking and grinning, lad. If you gave them the best you had. Did your tackle fall short? Did the runner flash by If 1th the score that won the game? Did if break your heart when you missed the try? Did you choke with the hurt and shame? If you did your best Oh, I knozc the score; I followed you all the way through. And that is why I am saying, lad, That the best of the fight is the staying, lad. And the best of all games is the playing, lad, If you give them the best in you. —Robins. aC------ EIGHT IQ Strltarfc B. IGinfcaey, JJrtitripal Illinois State Normal Teachers College, B. E.

An hour to play and the last man in. And it’s not for the sake of a ribboned coat. Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame, But his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote, “Play up! play up! and play the game!” The sand of the desert is sodden red,— Red with the wreck of a square that broke;— The Gatling’s jammed and the colonel dead And the regiment blind with dust and smoke. The river of death has brimmed his banks, And England’s far. and Honor a name, But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks, “Play up! play up! and play the game!” This is the word that year by year While in her place the School is set Every one of her sons must hear, And none that hears it dare forget. This they all with a joyful mind Bear through life like a torch in flame, Arid falling fling to the host behind— “Play up! play up! and play the game!” —Henry Newbolt.

This plane has the best of equipment. Its passengers are many and have achieved fame in varied callings. Six of its passengers have participated in interscholastic debates, helping their respective teams to second place in the Big Twelve Conference. The Conference Football Championship Team included three of the passengers of 1928. The ship’s crew includes persons of dramatic ability, singers, orators, musicians, readers, debaters and athletes —all working as a unit for the success of their plane. In its first trial flight, piloted by Sarah Gray, it was recognized as one of the planes bound to become successful. In this flight the crew learned the mechanism of P. C. H. S. and how to handle their own particular plane, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-eight. In its second trial flight, again guided by Sarah Gray, the passengers were able to view the land and decide where the next flight should lead. The third flight was a more difficult one. The plane, directed by Clyde Roman, launched boldly into the starry heights of Junior Activities. The crew under the supervision of Charles Meeker, began the fourth and last trial flight with a determination to work and play harder than ever before. They looped the loop, zoomed high into the air, swooped down almost to the earth, and rose again. And now the plane is ready for its first big flight. Exultant, and yet a trifle sobered are the ertfw as thev leave the old hangar, P. C. H. S. —Rtth Higgins, ’28. FORTY 1 MERLE SMITH Merit broke the record in selling advertising.

FORTY-ONE (Elje Spirit of Amatimt In days of yore, when airplanes were unknown, There lived a man who thought that he could fly If only he could make some wings quite strong To bear him upward through the air-filled sky. He failed, and others vainly tried to build A craft in which up through the air they’d skim. Until, at last, in nineteen hundred eight. Two brothers gained the goal they sought to win. From them the noble art of flying grew. Until at last a miracle occurred. A deed was done that held the world aghast-— A deed, the like of which was never heard. Our I,indy did the thing that men had sworn Could not be done by mortal man alone. He flew across the ocean wide and deep And brought undying fame to self and home. The foreign countries with our own did vie In giving “Lindv” honor and esteem. But quite unspoiled he wore his laurels bright A real fulfillment of a nation's dream. The world will always owe to him a debt She can not pay. But ever will we think Of him as he who made the ocean wide Between our land and Europe just a link. Thus has the art of aviation grown ’Till now we cross the ocean in a dav. Who 1 ives that knows the goal we may attain ? The future lies ahead. We can not sav. —John Coleman, ’28. oC FORTr-TWO IQ 18 _ THE EKINIAN FORTY-THREE Junior (Elams Soil OF I'IC HRS President ...........................................Floyd Corson Vice-President Fiutz Simon Secretary-Treasurer ..............................

Their public appearances started early in the school year when they sang for the Teachers’ Institute the latter part of October. Since that time they have made numerous other appearances, singing at the Woman’s Club and at various contests. There arc seventy members of the Girls’ Glee Club and from this large group, choruses, quartettes and smaller groups are chosen to sing. Under the direction of Miss Margaret B. Schurman they assisted in the presentation of the operetta, “Purple Towers.” EIGHTY-ONE Q?7 (Eltoritfi A chorus selected from the two 1927 Girls’ Glee Clubs showed unusual ability last year in their contest work.

The play was directed by Miss Esther Mace. The cast follows: Veronica Duane....... Roderick White....... Nancy White.......... Maitland White....... Etta, the maid G. T. Warren.........

Would you, if you were the charming young girl, forget that he” really existed or would you condescend to “fall in love,” as is the general custom of girls ? We find that our operetta heroine was just like the girls on the stage of life’s little romance and so she quite tactfully “fell in We.” This clever operetta was successfully produced on March 16, 1928, under the direction of Miss Margaret B. Schurman. The east of characters were: Hank Huckleberry Mike Murphy...... Earl Parker...... Red Nichols...... Tillie .......... Urseba Applegate... Helen Trumbull... Mary Marble......

FIGHTY-SEVEN Gf wet JoHrfSo eighty-eight THE =2 Mortal IE a tt t a all school party The Seniors opened the social season of the school b gi'ing the annual allschool party in honor of the Freshmen. Of course, special provision was made for the “Freshie” and his date, both being admitted for thirtv-tivc cents, although the usual price was twenty-five cents each. The chief entertainment was the round the world flight, in such prominent planes as, “Spirit of Detroit,” “Spirit of Dallas, American Girl, Miss Doran. “Old Glory,” and “Spirit of St. Louis.” However, it was not a non-stop flight. The fleet stopped at various prominent cities where contests between the planes were held, refreshments were served, and dancing was enjoyed. One important stop was for the purpose of enjoying a most excellent program including Ruth Higgins. the fortune teller; David Stout, our Paderewski; and ( arl Gab1 and Dean Dittmer. noted vaudeville performers. Lola Albertsen and Kloise Usher sang Me and My Shadow.” and the program closed with a ( oquette Stunt featuring Odell Rolf, Sophia Ubben, Merle Smith. Raymond Zimmer. John Spengler. and John Coleman. JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY The Juniors and Seniors were bent on having a real time the first semester, so they combined forces and had their party together on the evening of November 11. Games were played and group stunts were put on in the early part of the evening. Later ” 400 and “hot dogs” were served, and dancing to the P. C. H. S. jazz orchestra was enjoyed immensely. It proved such a happy event that the Juniors and Seniors were loath to go home when closing time came. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen made their debut in the social circles of P. C. H. S. on November 4, when they held their first party. Games and dancing furnished amusement, and candy, peanuts and Eskimo pies were served. Almost the entire Freshman Class attended and were most enthusiastic about the party. EIGHTY-NINE limit Dtft iFight ? Did you tackle that trouble that came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful? Or hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful?

NINETY = IQ THE Jfhjing Elizabeth Solterman Slowly and silently the lurid dawn pays homage to her regal Lord, giving to his darkness light to suffice another day. We, in turn, offer obeisance to a new day as we stand with muscles tense, heeding the arrival of the youthful aviators, preparing to make a record flight. Only youths, hut they make preparations with the intrepidity which only the fervor of youth can possess. Mutely, we stand in reverence as they enter their planes with the certainty of some prophetic god. “Taking off!” Will they ever rise and reach the fate of the skies? Up, up into the clouds and uncertainty. On, on, the two planes sail. Beneath them the same land, about them the same skies, before them the same goal. Hours pass. The sun illumines the heavens and the planes sail on, guided not bv destiny, but by the initiative of youth. Then night, another dawn, another day, and just one plane spans the skies. One lone aviator flvs on to success, to the shouts of a frantic crowd, and the proclamation of his heroism. So, like the aviators, we span the skies of life. Years we spend in preparation for that attempt—a record flight. Then with tin courage, the fervor of the aviators, we “take off.” Perhaps we shall be forced down in the darkness with indistinct possibilities for the future. One of us may Hy on. overcome the difficulties of the night, and in the dawning of another day reach our goal and success. Now, like the aviators at dawn we arc beginning our flight. Shall we, each piloting our own plane, reach a goal, our conception of success? And after wc have completed this quite irksome flight, and have reached some goal, they tell us we shall be sent to a land someone named “eternal,” and even there we shall keep on flying. NINETY-ONE THE 3= If lights of ifanrg Ruth Higgins Everything round about was still except for the baby who coughed croupilv in the bedroom. Only four more hours and my sick-room vigil would be over. As I yawned I heard a train whistle far off in the distance. Shvlv from beneath the brim of my new travelling hat, I glanced at the young man across the aisle. After the porter’s stentorian cry of “Last call foil dinneh!’ I found myself seated across the table from the same young man. We smiled engagingly and he said, “Haven’t I met you somewhere before r Brrump—crash bang! A small piece of coal under a large lump had burned away and the large piece had fallen over with a crash. Hastily 1 glanced at the clock. I shook up the cough-syrup and put a teaspoonful of it into the mouth of the half-protesting, sleeping baby. I had just settled myself for another two-hour wait when I heard music. Was it.........? Could it be.... ........? It was “The Minuet. Slowly I descended the broad, white stairway. The news of my coming spread from group to group. Dancing and merriment, for the minute, ceased. Everyone glanced up at me. The men hastened to bow. The women curtsied. Then louder and merrier than before “The Minuet” was resumed.' As I was passing under the arch of swords for the second time, I saw a newcomer. I had never seen him before, yet he looked vaguely familiar. We stared at each other, an age it seemed; finally recollecting my duties as hostess I hastened forward. Rowing low he kissed my hand and murmured in strangely familiar accents, “Have I not met thee, at some other time or place?” One of the onlookers suddenly began to scream. “Mary, Mary, wake up! It’s eight o’clock. The baby isn’t any better and all the cough-syrup’s gone. You’ll have to get some right after breakfast.” Slowly I woke up and ate my breakfast, and started for the druggist’s with my mind in a daze. As I entered the drug store I was met bv a grin. A cool, supercilious, condescending grin made by a mouthful of glistening, white teeth. Later I noticed a waxy, black, moustache above the grin, a pair of steel-blue calculating eyes, and smooth, mirror-like black hair. Hastily I enumerated my wants and breathed a sigh of relief when the grinning mouth snapped shut and was carried off to the back of the store so that the long, tapering hands could fill the prescription. However, it soon returned. Slowly the damp, white hands counted the change into mine. Then with a broader and more horrible grimace than before, “Haven’t I met you befo-----?” “ XT I No! And picking up the bottle of cough-syrup, I walked away and deliberately slammed the door behind me. I think that of the whole family, I perhaps was the happiest at the baby’s speedy recovery from what had threatened to be a serious cold. NINETY-TWO JFirst IStJip Jane Pkettyman At tile landing field near the edge of town, an aeroplane was taking passengers Up for five dollars a ride. Among the large crowd that had gathered to watch the plane, stood a ragged little boy, unnoticed, eagerly and wistfully watching the great plane make its short flights. Tearing his eyes from the plane for a moment, the boy •danced down and noticed at his feet a beautiful beaded bag. Picking it up, he opened it, and saw a large roll of money. After looking around hastily, he noticed, leaving the field, a woman, who, he remembered, had stood by him, and he ran to her and handed her the bag. The woman gasped as she realized what she might have lost forever. She looked down upon the ragged little fellow standing before her. The boy’s honest brown eyes looked up into hers. “Son.” she said, “What would you like more than anything else in the world?” Without hesitation the boy replied, “To go up in the aeroplane.” The woman gave him the five dollars and with a hurried “Thanks” the boy sped away. The crowd laughed when they saw a little bov climb into the plane but little did they realize how much they would want to see that same boy later on. A few moments later a flushed but triumphant little hov alighted on the field. As if in a dream he made his way homeward. He told his mother of his wonderful trip but she only laughed and said lie had been dreaming. The years passed but that wonderful ride never faded from the boy's mind. To be an aviator became his sole ambition. Most of his chance earnings had to go to the family income, but now and then he was able to lav aside a little for his one ambition. Then his opportunity came. He was employed by an aircraft corporation where he picked up a great deal of knowledge about aeroplanes, and finally even learned to make short flights himself. One goal had been reached. He was an aviator! Hut now a greater ambition loomed before him. With the same perseverance he strove to attain this, also, for merely being an aviator was not enough. Several years later the world was heralding a second Lindbergh, one who had made that great flight alone over the Pacific as Lindbergh had across the Atlantic. It was twenty years after the day the woman had almost lost possession of her beaded bag. when she came again to the same flying field, which was now greatly improved. The attraction this time was an exhibition flight made by the present hero of the world, but little did the woman realize, as she watched him soar up into the heavens, that she had given to this young man his first ride in an aeroplane in return for his honesty in giving back to her that beaded bag which she had carried that day.

DAVIS “Joe,” tackle, had wonderful spirit. He worked harder in practice than anyone on the squad. He was a hard charger and next year he will he a fine tackle for the red and white. ABRAMSON “Louie,” end, always took care of the defensive tackle on the side the play went to. Many of our hacks’ long runs can he credited to Louie’s blocking.

Captain Itowan drew first blood in the second quarter by taking the hall over via a wide end run. In the second half two touchdowns were made by Rowan and Gueber, respectively. Thirteen straight wins. BLOOMINGTON 0—PKKIN 26 The game was still young when Pekin pushed over its first touchdown as a result of a steady march down the field. The morale of the Bloomington team was crushed and when the final whistle was tooted Pekin had gathered three more counters. Fourteen straight wins. U-HIGH 6—PEKIN 81 Another team from the Evergreen city traveled the forty miles to meet defeat at the hands of the Pekin stalwarts. In the first quarter, Captain Rowan whirled his way for a touchdown and Whitfield added the extra point with a perfect kick. Pekin proved too much for U-High in the second half and soon pushed over four more touchdowns. Fifteen straight wins. JACKSONVILLE 2—PKKIN 81 Pekin won their first game on foreign ground by the score of 81 to 2. The brilliant 1 ' coached Haussler machine was too much for the weak hut hard fighting Jacksonville team, and after the first few minutes had things to their own liking. Sixteen straight wins. NORMAL 0—PEKIN 26 Pekin traveled to Normal the following Thursday to heat their team to the count of 26 to 0. The game was only three minutes old when Boh Kraeger skirted the end for a touchdown. Rowan added the extra point. The second touchdown was the result of a pass from Rowan to Gueber. Captain Boh added a third touchdown in the second quarter, and Roman made one in the third. This made seventeen straight wins. LINCOLN 6—PEKIN 0 The Railsplitters stopped Pekin’s long win spurt to the tune of 6 to 0. It was a hard fought game and the lone touchdown came in the third quarter. The hoys were beaten in football hut not in spirit. Hats off to Lincoln, our conqueror. MANUAL 0—PEKIN 6 It was a beautiful day for such an occasion. For three quarters the crowd of 8000 stood and shivered while the two teams were fighting on an even basis. Then it came, the only touchdown of the game, made by Captain Rowan. His sensational run was a thriller. Manual didn't have a chance after that. The hoys played a real game and we were proud of them, for Manual turned out to he the city champion of Peoria. Win number 1. MACOMB 0—PKKIN 19 Pekin High had little trouble in taking the Macomb High School into camp on James Field, Friday afternoon. This was Armistice day and the legion helped us in the celebration hv supporting the team in great style. Whitfield raced 4-5 yards through a broken field in the first few minutes of play for a touchdown. The other touchdowns resulted from fumbles. It rained everything in the second half, hut our hoys didn't look any the worse after the victory. Win number 2. CANTON 6—PKKIN 2.5 Although we defeated the Canton football team Turkey day by a score of 25-6, Canton put up a much more stubborn fight than the score indicates. The teams played on even terms in the first quarter, hut in the second quarter we scored and the half ended 6-0.

Long baskets from all angles of the floor featured his play. Roy has another year and will prove a valuable cog in next year's team. HOBERT HOWAN—Guard “Bob was one of the best guards ever produced by Pekin High. His specialty was taking the ball from the bank and dribbling the length of the floor for sleepers. Robert was a mid-semester man. RICHARD JOERGER —Guard “Dick” was a forward at the beginning of the season but due to his size and ability to guard he was moved to back court where he proved a valuable man at both offense and defense. Richard will he back next year. LAWRENCE Gl’KBEH Forward and Guard “Gabby” proved to be the most consistent player on the squad. His fighting spirit and all around play proved to be an important factor in all of the December and January games. Gueber, like Rowan, graduated at midsemester and his services were lost to the team. Had Gueber and Rowan played the entire season it would have been a different story. HOWARD I)ITTMER —Forward “Ditto crashed into linerv at beginning of mid-semester and proved to he a scrappy and able forward. He was a valuable man under the basket. Howard graduates in June. IQ 78 HAROLD KINDER—Forward “Bill” played in almost every game this season. He was a fighter as well as a consistent scorer all the way through. This was Harold's last year at Pekin High. W AI -LACE R A LINGS—Gua rd Although “Monk” was the smallest player on the team, his speed and clever dribbling did much to overcome this handicap. Wallace received honorable mention in the Big 12. 11ERM A N KLI E VER— Center “Ham added to the score in several games. No matter how strenuous the game was he carried his share of the load. Herman has two more years. PETER SIMON Guard “Pete” was going great until the Pontiac tournament. In the Cornell game he had the misfortune to break his leg which put him out for the rest of the season. The team felt his loss keenly.

JErark, 1U28 The prospects for this year’s teams are fair. With Monk Rawlings, one of the best distance nun in the state, and other lettermen to build his team around, the coach looks for a fairly successful season. Pekin will go to several of the early Relays, and then to the County, Big Twelve, and the Wesleyan Meets. ©rack, 1 $27 Our 1927 track team probably enjoyed the best season ever experienced by a Pekin team. The strength of the team lay in the track events as there were no consistent point getters in the Held department. The team copped three of the relays at the Gridley Meet. On May 6 the boys went to Armington to take the County Meet by an overwhelming score. Pekin’s total was more than the total of the next two teams. From Armington the team went to Decatur to take second place in the Big Twelve the following day. ONE HUNOREO TEN LETTKRMKX OF ’27 Captain Fred Dancev Wallace Rawlings, Captain-elect Russell Lov Clyde Roman Norman Wolfer Robert Rowan James Whitfield Mt I artutis The latest athletic enterprise in school is a tennis team. Opportunities for playing the game, heretofore limited to the municipal park, were brought to the enthusiasts by the erection of two new concrete courts back of the school. A number of players have been practicing diligently in order to find places on the team. The tennis team of 1928, the first in the history of P. C. H. S. is to consist of the eight players who reach the quarter-finals in the annual spring tournament. These eight will be divided into first and second squads. Those showing the most promise at the present time are: Dick Joerger, John Coleman. Dean Dittmer, George Splittgerber, Clyde Roman, Paul Isenburg. John Caroll and Carl Gale. Several of the best players in the school, including Charles Meeker and Lawrence Gueber are nine semester men and lienee ineligible. The team does not promise any startling victories but it does intend to give budding tennis stars from other schools some rather uncomfortable afternoons. If possible practice matches will be played with high schools nearby and the team will enter the Rig Twelve and State Tennis meets. ' z «alf As yet golf has not played a very important part in the athletic activities of Pekin Communitv High School. For the past two years James bitfield and John Coleman have played in the Rig 12 Golf Meet, Coleman tying for second last year. This year these two intend to enter again, with hopes of success. o ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN THE EKINIAN f)U 14.U, D ?u.t ex lIsK. ?,‘[.t rjiss TdKt PiL oT Co-dve l sefe-R, if T He Til.T of HooK J — 1 - OR- 5 ,cR 0‘SS In c H °U.t8 )ffI) TiloT O1 oe « s CWH 'PiLoTS oQr ONE HUNDRED TWELVE ATTORNEYS John T.
