He and his helpers, Mr. Switzer and Mr. Ertmoed, are constantly on the job, keeping our building clean and attractive. To whom do we go when we want things done? When a window sticks. When an ink bottle breaks, Then it’s Fergie who comes And smoothes out the trouble. Repairs our mistakes. So it's Fergie this; and it’s Fergie that.

Mary Kkardon Eloise Fishkr In order that the student body may have a real share in administering the affairs of the school and may co-operate effectively with the faculty in carrying out school policies, Pekin High School has the Student Council. The Student Council consists of two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman, elected by their respective classes, the four class presidents, the principal, the two deans, the two counselors, and a Student President elected by the entire school. As Pekin High School has increased in size, and as its building and equipment has been enlarged, the Student Council has taken on new duties and launched new and greater activities. Outstanding among this year’s achievements are: the opening of the new social room; the establishment of the Lost and Found Bureau; the selection of permanent High School Ushers; the establishment of the Hall Cadet System: and the Maintenance of a Student Lyceum Course.

Under the able direction of Mr. Zimmerman, it has played at the beginning and the end of every Chapel period, as well as at class plays and other public performances. Girls’ Glee Club That unusual interest has been shown in music this year, is proved by the large number of girls in the Glee Club. Approximately one hundred and seventy-five girls have taken up Glee C lub work this year. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Margaret Schurman the girls have given some excellent Chapel programs, and they have also assisted in the Dedication program, teachers’ institute programs, and other programs for the public. 19 3 0 SIXTY-FIVE P E K I N I A N X X THE ORDER OF THE BACHELORS B 'k fio JohhStotyE L rkmyR.Bfcsrytefyl K Lindsey Mr. Zimmer nin.

It featured murder mysteries introducing the element of spiritualism enhanced by the workings of a sweet little Irish lady who professed the knowledge of seances and spirits. This production was one of the most successful ever presented at the High School. The naturalness of the seances and the ease of each actor in assuming the role of the character he was to portray, gave a realistic touch to the play. Much credit is due to Miss Esther L. Mace, who coached the play. The cast was as follows: 1 lelen Nidi I ola Albertsen Will Crosby Charles Hodge Mrs. Roscoe Crosby...... ...............................June Gale Roscoe Crosby John Krfegsman Edward Wales John Tomlin Mary Eastwood...........................................Louise Andrews Philip Mason Wayne Search Madame La Grage..........................................

Mr. Zi in merman's modernised version of “Treasure Island” was a stage show not easily to Ik surpassed. Do you remember Vinnie Johnston as Master of Ceremonies? Didn't he wield a hot baton? And we shall not forget the stately minuet by the sailor and his sweetheart, or Bill Blaek as Capt. John Silver. The matinees were presented by the combined Glee Clubs and were sponsored by the Student Council for the benefit of the new social room.

The 1929 Football Season The 1929 Football squad ended the season successfully on Turkey Day, last November. Five games were won, two were tied, and one went against the grain. The one defeat was at the hands of Lincoln, one of the Big 12 champions. The two ties resulted from games played with the two Peoria schools. Manual and Central. All of the opposition was tough, except C anton. This was the last game of the season. and it ended 60 for Pekin and 0 for Canton. This more than evened Pekin with Canton for the 6 to 0 defeat Pekin received from them last year. 19 3 0 SEVENTY-FOUR P E K I N I A N eg — ------- W Hz.mi™-erick Ca f.C.Ctjfanihffcam W.Black Football Scores (iAMKS AT IIOMK Pekin 12 Pekin. 28 Pekin 0 Pekin (i Pekin 00 GAMES AWAY Pekin 27 Pekin 0 Pekin 12 Pekin 135 Fairburv .................... 6 Decatur ..................... 0 Central ..................... 0 Lincoln .....................

One big drawing card for the banquet was the presence of Quin Ryan, the well-known radio announcer from Bloomington, Illinois, who gave the address of the evening. His talk was both interesting and instructive. giving his audience a peep behind the scenes in radio-land. The squad then presented Coaches Haussler and Becker each with a tie and belt, and Bill Hammerick, the newly chosen captain-elect, gave a brief talk, closing the program. Every year the Kiwunis C lub takes the Football squad to Illinois to see a football game. This year the squad went to see the Army and Illinois game and the boys received a few )jointers in how the game is played. SEVENTY-SIX 19 3 0 P E K I N I A N Great interest lias been developed in athletics through Coaches Haussler and Becker. As a result of their hard work Pekin High developed a Football team which met defeat only once, and that was at the hands of Lincoln. The Pekin fellows chalked up a total of 135 points to their opponents 32. Under the direction of Coach Haussler, the Basketball team was victorious in the District Tournament and made a good showing in both the Wesleyan and Sectional Tournaments. All the Managers have given the Coach much assistance and deserve praise for their tine spirit of co-operation, although they didn t make a touchdown or a basket. Mr. Schul. who is the President of the athletic board deserves credit for his capable management of the financial end of all athletic events. W.

This game ended with Canton, as usual, on the long end of an 8 to 13 score.

Seventy athletes turned out with the first signs of spring weather. 1 he team was well balanced. with just a little more strength in the running events. To start tlie season out right, a one-mile relay team, consisting of Captain Sie-bens, Black, Stoldt, and Bailey, went to the annual Universify of Illinois Relay Carnival. In spite of some real competition these boys won 6th place in the meet. The live teams, which finished before us, all have indoor tracks on which they can practice all winter. Several of the boys were taken to Northwestern University to compete in the International meet held there. Bailey captured 2nd in the mile run, Siebens 5th in the Half-mile run. and Stoldt was making good headway in the quarter mile run until he was spiked. The boys made a wonderful showing for a comparatively small school in such a big meet.
