The turbine wheels do froth and churn. The good ship sails away. Beak and prow turned out from port. II er course lies straight ahead. On hoard is joy and life and stir With naught of fear ahead. The storm sweeps down, the tempest roars, To toss the mighty ship. Straight ahead the ship plows on Nor heeds the tempest whip. Tempests stir the mighty deep, But when the storm has passed The good ship sails on straight ahead And makes her port at last. The “Ship of State” sails out today Across some stormy sea? She’ll weather tempest, but the steering’s Up to you and me. Sailing for some port today? Sailing long and far? Set all sail for straight ahead, And sight your own North Star. —Selected.

The Junior class this term, as always, sponsored the publishing of the • Pekhwis”, a small hut newsy paper issued weekly. By the publishing of this newsy sheet alone, the Juniors won a name for themselves. On November 2, 1928, the Junior Class Play, “A Lucky Break”, went over “Big”—financially and otherwise. The auditorium was filled, and the members of the Junior Class had visions even then of some of their long-cherished dreams coining true—namely, that of giving those worthy Seniors the most wonderful Prom any Juniors could give. There's no question of the ability and business management of the class of '80. They're sailing along under full sail, and they simply won't he stopped until they have reached their goal—graduation from Pekin High School.

The members already have shown the high school that they are ready to co-operate. One big class party was given during the second semester of the Sophomore year, and several were enjoyed the Freshman year, though it is hard for the worldly-wise Sophs to recall the days when they, as Green Frosh, rambled about the corridors. Flans already are under way for making their Junior year a profitable one, both for the soon-to-be-Juniors and for the school, as well.

Pekin was penalized unreasonably which accounted for their low score.

Struck, Conklin, Prcttyman, Corson “ulhr The Senior Class on the eve of January Play, “The Patsy”, which was presented at the high school 18, 1929, was undoubtedly the outstanding production of the year. Patricia Harrington, the younger of two daughters born to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Harrington, resolved to make herself popular in spite of the fact that Grace, the spoiled older sister, always had her own way. So Patsy bought a set ot books on How to be the I.ife of tlie Party and by the use of the witty sayings therein, won the admiration of one of Grace’s past admirers. Tony, who had promised to give Patsy love lessons and who little realized that he was falling in love with her at the same time. The plav is a delightful comedy, and it was fully enjoyed by all present.

Vice-Pres., Tim Soldwedel. Sec.-Treas., Louis Heisel. Student Council Representative, Elizabeth Wilmot. Class advisors. Miss Shuman, Miss Borgelt. That year is best remembered by a hard-time party, full of fun and foolishness. Remember? The next year we again chose Bob Kraeger as President, with Roy Buckley as lis running mate and Gertrude Denekas, Secretary-Treasurer. Floyd Corson represented us in the student council, and our advisers were Mr. Urban and Miss Boyd. In our Junior year things began to “perk-up” a bit. Besides producing a very successful Pekinoh, we presented our class play, “The Youngest”, in a manner which financed a delightful Prom for the Seniors. Our officers during this term were: President, Floyd Corson. Vice-Pres., Fritz Simon. Sec.-Treas., Angeline Lodi. Council Representatives: Hilda Van Horn, Bob Kraeger. Mr. Phillips and Miss Balcke made two very efficient advisers, and our Junior year, as a whole, was quite successful. This year, our Senior year, was by far the most successful, financially and otherwise. The class play, “The Patsy”, started the year off successfully, and the Senior pageant ended it. The Pekixiax staff endeavored to put out a most ‘original” and “different” year Twelve Rate Honor Society Those Seniors who were luekv enough to rate the National Honor Society are: Angeline Lodi, Margaret Bearden, Jane Lyman, Dean Ditt-mer, Rudolph Grimmer, Raymond Lawver, Bernard Hoffman, Jean Albcrtscn, Jane Prettyman, Pauline Dorsey, Gertrude Denekas, Charles Wainman.

He has been storing them away since Mr. Jones, the Scientist, told us that sugar could he made from corncobs. James Joerger wants to an-tounee that his Open Air Taxi Business has increased to such an extent that he cannot take care of the business.

Hi Y Entertained By Girl Reserves On February 15, the Senior Girl Reserves entertained the members of the Hi-Y organization at a Valentine party held in the gym. The decorations ami program were carried out in accordance with the customs and usual festivities of St. Valentine's Day. Progressive games were played, and dancing followed. The music was furnished by the high school orchestra. The members of the Hi-Y must have enjoyed the party immensely, for the following week the Girl Reserves received a “thank you” note from Rudolph Grimmer, Secretary of the Hi-Y. “A chihl stood on a railway track. The train came rushing past! So the little child just stepped aside And let the train go past.” The Seniors had several bakery sales and paper sales this year, and collected a total of seventy dollars from them. THOUGHTS OF FRESHMEN You hear them runnin’ all around And stirrin' up a dust; They stick their head in others bizz And do it with a lust.

This is the largest class to he graduated from Pekin High School and, some say, the most successful. If one can judge by the doleful faces and sad expressions, the Seniors, as a whole, are loath to leave the dear old school. They leave, however, with many wishes for good luck in the future. There were twelve track neets this spring—which made Mgr. Cottingham very joyful on account of the increase in candy sales.

Juniors Don Boots To Attend Party The rain and bad weather kept a number of the “jolly Juniors ' at home on the night of their annual party. In spite of all that, those who came had a wonderful time. An automobile was constructed under the auspices of John Tomlin and Bernard Hogan, and games pertaining to automobile were played. Refreshments and dancing followed. Regardless of the weather, those who attended this social function were not sorry. Snowflakes Silently, soft� y, they descend To alight on Nature's realm And transform an unresisting world Into a dazzling pureness. Each little fairy plaything.

ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN 1 $?uiiir (Elass Jlroplimj It was a bright spring day in 1969 when I, a rich oil magnate, set sail for Europe with my secretary, Kathryn Troughton. My property in Russia was under the care of Floyd Corson and Ivan Lampitt; however, I felt a personal inspection was necessary. Modes of travel had changed and the hig dirigible company, owned by Carol Struck, Rob Kragcr, and Albert .lost, was fast putting steamships out of business. Rut, being old-fashioned, I preferred to travel on the steamship “Eloataway” whose captain was Joe Davis. Eugene Cottingham, another old friend, was the purser, and William Xatiman the first mate. As I promenaded down the main deck with my pet poodle, I heard strains of music, and around a corner 1 found the U. S. Marine Rami under the direction of Colonel Edward Miller. boasting in its personnel three great soloists, Rernard Hoffman, Russel I.oy. and Welby Monroe. I stood among the crowd when suddenly someone startled me with a “Hello Air and I jumped to find myself ga .ing at Reedier Set .er, now a rich movie actor, and his wife, formerly Henrietta Martens. The band stopped and Conductor Miller and I went in to dinner. Imagine my surprise when I found that the head waiter was Robert Selby and among his assistants were Henry Cowser, Harney Raldoni, George Hoerr, and Wallace Rawlings. They served a delicious meal, and between courses we were favored with a soprano solo by a famous opera star. Jane Lyman, who was accompanied by Jean AJbertsen at the harp. Rer-nice Mittal gave a whistling solo and played her own accompaniment on the “strumaphone”, an instrument invented by Martha Carter. Near us at the table were Raymond Lawver, a noted congressman, and Gerald MacDonald, whose invention of chewing gum that will not stick to theatre seats had earned him several millions. After the meal we entered the spacious ballroom where a hot jazz band was strutting its stuff. Col. Miller smiVd and said: “It reminds me of the I . C. II. S. Dance Orchestra back in 1929. The band was composed of Louise Hoff at the piano; Charley Horner was featured on the drums and Dean Dittmer and Margaret Bearden were a success with trumpet and violin. Ruth Kettenring had discarded her fiddle for a banjo, and played cleverly under the direction of the leader, Eugene Erie. Among the dancers I saw Ada Oswald and Fred Tegt-meycr, Erancis Towle and Alva Nash gayly tripping to the strains of “I Want My Man written by Elvira Towne, and published by Soldwedcl and Soldwedel. music publishers. Along the sidelines were Kate Linebaugh, a famous dramatic actress and her fiancee, Earl Sanborn, the Mouse-trap Magnet. A famous pianist, Roberta Lindstrom, was discussing her latest composition with Rudolph Grimmer who insisted, at the same time, on discussing a poet long since dead, known as Edgar A. Guest. The floor was cleared by an announcer in uniform who turned out to be Edward Reards-leV, and a special number was announced. This was an obi time dance called the “Baltimore” given by Jane Prettyman and Louis Hodgson. Norman Wolfer, a noted veterinarian on his way to Germany, applauded loudly, and at the close of the dance, a huge basket of flowers was presented to the performers by Russel Taubert, representative of Simon, Lodi and Malcolm, a large florist shop in New York. Colonel Richard Joerger and his wife, nee Marion Cook, were displeased, and left the hall after saying the dance was too undignified. However, Paul I sen burg and his wife, whom we knew as Olive Rishop, congratulated the actors as did many others, among them being Nell Swisher, Gertrude Smith, Martha Conklin, Norman Andrae, and Willis Wagler. The entertainment was suddenly interrupted by the second mate, Thomas Gent, who announced that we would be in Dover in a half hour. As the crowd left I noticed Erancis Goukcr, Paul Achenback, Charles Phillips, and Marie Chambers talking together. They seemed interested in a distinguished looking man and were surprised to learn that he was Sir Louis Heisel, who had been knighted for his poetry by King Edward of England.

That great industrial leader lays great stress on the importance of learning how to spend money, especially for self-improvement. Ve agree with him. We have long observed that folks who make a thoughtful study of wise spending and careful buying are the very ones who build cash reserves. Follow Mr. Ford’s advice. Spend carefully and for self improvement. Then the matter of successful saving will follow as surely as vacation follows school days. 9t - - -K3 American National Bank PEKIX, ILL. +----- ONE HUNDRED FIFTY | r fc f n a t CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) Soon we landed at Dover, and the first person to leave was Harry Hayes, who was in a hurry to greet his dancing partner, Elsie Hermes, in the crowd at the dock. Artnond Bishop and Francis Boling, newly married, left in a shower of ancient footwear. Of course, we had to undergo the usual customs inspection, conducted by John Alder, Eugene Brown, and Charles Wainnian, who passed us on to the health inspectors, Gertrude Bennett, Edward Schroeder, Ethel Boyer, and Nina De Boer, who finally gave us their okey. As soon as we left the inspectors, we hailed a taxi driven by Russel Brown which took Col. Miller and me to the Hotel Schmidt, owned by Ruth Schmidt and Loretta Osterman, two old friends. We stopped at I«ouise Bronncr's tea room and were served by Elizabeth Johnston. After paying the cashier, Catherine Dancey, we noticed the doorman who was none other than Roy Buckley. Upon leaving we passed Marie Caldwell’s Hat Shoppe and saw Gertrude Denekas, chief clerk, trying to sell a derby to Waldo Simpson, while his wife, Lcnora Ubben, was protesting volubly. Attracted by a crowd on a corner, we were astonished to find Hilda Van Horn using her declamatory powers to advertise a hair tonic devised by Mildred Green. Dorothy Wright bought the first bottle and gave it to her fiancee, Lucian (’lark, but Lucian called two policewomen. Mildred Murphy and Loretta Schmidt, who took Hilda off to jail. Out of curiosity we followed and went into Judge Dorsey’s court where a jury composed of Mary Drewitch, Ollie Hakes, La Verne Kumpf, Eileen Lott, Irene Schaefer and Maxine Sherman, declared a verdict of guilty. We left the court-room and, having nothing else to do, decided to visit the Drury Theatre owned by Marie Skarnikat. We bought our tickets from Helen Simpson and entered the foyer where the manager, Annette Dunn, greeted us. She called an usher, Luella Meints, and we were taken to one of the boxes. To our surprise we found it already occupied by Elizabeth Wilmot and Elsie Direks, but we insisted that they stay and talk over old times. The orchestra, led by Grace Poison, struck up an overture, “Neptune's Kingdom , written by Kenneth Drury, and the curtain opened on a dancing chorus which contained Jessie Simpson, Naomi Starts, Helen Ruch, and Janette Pfanz. The next number was “Heren the Magician starring Harold Heren assisted by Margarite Meyer. Then Oran Miller and Dorothy Wright gave an acrobatic act and Beuhla McCoy and Mary Lou O'Hern, dressed as sailors, gave a skit called “The Nervy Navigators’ in which they tried to capture the heart of John Lally, a life-guard. As the curtain dropped, we spied two stage-hands, Berkeley W ickkizer and George Poll-man, rushing out to remove the scenery. After such a full afternoon. Colonel Miller and I were both so tired that we decided to go hack to our hotel. When we arrived there the colonel took one look at my secretary. Kate Troughton, and proposed on the spot. And to my surprise, she accepted and resigned immediately. So there I was, alone in the world with my pet poodle and a lot of oil stock. All of which was the end of a perfect day.

One poor cripple got the Saturday Evening Post, but it didn’t do him any good. He couldn’t lift it. A sufferer in the next bed got a copy of the Dial, but he couldn’t read it. The pages had never been cut. A sergeant nearby was handed the Atlantic Monthly. Pretty soon, he had to ask for a dictionary. A little way off. a happy-go-lucky bum got the American Mercury. Before supper he had complained about the food, the service, the heat, the bed, and the divinity that shapes our ends. Then someone got Physical Culture. He fell out of bed and broke his arm trying to do flexing exercises. The bird who got the Love Story Magazine spent the afternoon ringing for the nurse and trying to hold her hand. One poor unfortunate got hold of The Xation. Y hen he found out that practically nothing is right in the world, he sobbed himself to sleep. A top sergeant got an all-poetrv magazine, but it put him to sleep before he had read the first page. One buck private didn’t have any kiek to make. He had happened to be lucky enough to get hold of a copy of The Pkkimax. 13 2 9 ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX (I I Lohnes Funeral Home Ambulance Service Phone Z7 Pekin, Illinois Hr (Eliattk Hut I The Pekinian Staff wishes to express its appreciation to the following: The business men of Pekin, who have helped to make this annual possible.
