The program w ill be the last of the series of radio presentations given by the English department under the direction of Misses Brainard and Williams and their English 6 classes. Jack’s supremacy is being challenged by Wilbur Brecher, English 8; Pat Conover, English 7; Jack Traub, English 6; Alene Rosenberg, English 5; Lois Sommers. English 4; Shirley Dennis or Lenore Ert-ipode, English 3; Dorothy Ober-le. English 2; and someone from English 1. Other challengers are Louise Roberson and Joe Rarick. The contest will be conducted by Louis Schaff and Laura Mae Johannes. At the end of the contest, each person will be given a score depending on the number of words, that were spelled correctly. The words will be of more than average difficulty. The contestants will have no preparation in advance, except what they, themselves study. The winner will be most stupendous, most elegant, most—well, anyway the best speller in P. C. H. S. These programs have been given to stimulate interest in new words and then spelling! Select Students For Next Year’s Voice Instruction Mr. Miller lent an ear to approximately one hundred voices last week in his search for the best ones to make up his voice instruction class next year. Although 111 signed up for auditions, a few were “scared-out.” Mr. Miller listed those students whom he thought best and then submitted it to Miss Todd and Mr. Stowe. The list was in order of preference and the first twenty will probably be chosen. The selection of numbers to be sung was varied. Mr. Miller reported that he found three exceptionally good girls’ voices. The boys also came through w’ith two having better than average voices.

Picture ten senior girls who are in their teens; Short and fat, tall and slim, sweet and pert, cute and keen, And in dear Pekin High they all are seen. Now five are blondes (Ailts, Hen-terseher. Moehring, Walters, and Winkle— They wash their hair until it must twinkle.) And four brunettets (Lowman, Sciortino, Walker, and Pinos Their hair is their pride which is plus—not minus). And now comes the saucy little redhead. Which will complete our story; Because Charlotte Irby’s auburn red Is the class' “head” glory. To an end comes our ditty; Oh dear—ain’t it a pity? That such a little bitty Should be such a “hitty! B. and F. CAFE CONFECTIONERY We are always glad to serve you PEKIN THEATRE BLDG.

C—H Clever advertising devices were used by the candidates such as blotters, cards, signs, peanuts, tee’s, suckers, and kisses which were showered from the top of the building, (candy ones, you dopes!) C—H The campaign managers proved to be an asset to each candidate. They were J. Gainer, R. Sherman, J. Chlado, I . Ubben, J. (Vuse, and I). Sevier. C—H Friends of the candidates made some mighty fancy posters. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and a fill-in of Joe Palooka were two of the more featury” ones. C—H The parade encircling the school square was surely in an up-roar of activity as the various hands played for the different candidates, and the enthralling political speeches were given. C—H The chicken in the coop (now where else would a chicken be) with an attached sign reading Vote for Norma—it’s something to crow about” was a much talked-over item. C—H The two goats pulling a little red cart caused many cute exclamations. (We guess the whole barnyard was there, huh?) C—H And so we congratulate Norma by wishing her success in the coming year. Jolly Finds Poetic Muse In Punctuation Lesson “In the spring a young man’s fancy,” so the poet says; but instead of turning to love, ’tis poetry: and instead of a young man, ’tis a girl. Josephine Jolly, class of ’39, spends part of her spare time making words rhyme; and not long ago a punctuation class inspired the following pitty: Punctuation People Of all the punctuation marks. I like the comma best. For when I’m getting out of breath, he lets me take a rest! The period’s a busy man, a reading traffic cop.” He blocks the helter-shelter words and brings them to a stop. Quotation marks are curious! When folks to talk begin. You'll find these funny little marks are always listening in. The question mark’s a little dwarf, he’s small but very wise; He asks too many questions for a fellow of his size. Elaine Maquet Art needle eraft, 1: G. A.

Celestial Linguists Wield Pen In Correspondence With French Friends Off to other worlds go letters from each student in Miss Crawford’s French classes. These letters will go to destinations anywhere from one border to France to the other. Our American students started the correspondence by taking one school period to write letters to students In all parts of France. American girls have their choice of writing to either girls or boys, but the poor boys of America have to limit their correspondence to French boys because the French are opposed to girls writing to boys. Before many moons, the young people of America will be on just as friendly terms with people of all other countries as they are with their home associates. Jane Coons is beginning correspondence with people in seven other countries, and Erma Croci-ani is sending letters to a girl in Sweden. Wendell McMullen has a girl in Austria and “Duke” Botello has one in Spain. (So he says). Enter State Judging Meet Having won second place rating in the Sectional Fat Stock Judging Contest held at Normal last week, the Pekin High judging team will participate in the state contest to be held soon in Urbana. The local Dairy Team also won the right to compete in the state contest by placing in the Class B group at the sectional. Jewelr} of Distinction at Moderate Prices R.
