Lady Rats are Intelligent In Class Experiment Are the females more intelligent than the males? Well, maybe not in P. C. H. S. but judging from the maze experiment performed with the white rats in Mr. Snyder’s psychology class, the “little women”, learned much more rapidly than did those of the opposite sex. A rat maze was built by members of the class Into which food w’as placed at one end of the cage and the rata put into the other end. The object was to see which rats found the food first. The female rats went directly to the food, while the males roamed around. However, (for Mr. Snyder’s benefit) the male rats actually ate the food when they finally found it!

SENIOR EDITION Pekin through the Ohinks incident baptism and Loi It seems that the drama class has been predicting the future of its members. Joe Rarick and Mildred Greger-son were to be • married and an was related about the of the Reif twins. Bob Jr. s Evalyn were so eute! M—P—M Prom worries have begun to fade just “begun” tho! Mickle McBride has agreed to tread a measure with Jim Unland. Then too, Lenore Sheppert had only 8 bids. She chose Seggerman. I age, Fred Heisel, and Gene Smedley. M—P—M A likely candidate for the prom is Charlie McCarthy. M—P—M Since these are the last bits of dust, dirt, mud, and debris we will ever gather together, we wish to say au revoir and thanks for the sand. It made good filler. We hope we haven’t broken any hearts or ruined any reputations as our “friend” Hapenny seems to think we have. We have found that mud-slinging is fun but dangerous. Best of luck to the new dirt-eds. May you ever be dirty! M—P—M It is better to have halitosis than no breath at all! (Such humor.) M—P—M LEFT HAND COLUMN Alice Staker Hall Cadet. 4. Louie Veerman has a new flame! Guess who—Jackie Poeble. M—P—M Bob Meinen sits in the theater with a different girl every night— it has been said. M—P—M Minnie Arnold and Edward Allen are the most playful individuals—particularly in choir. M—P—M Jim Swartz is a goin steady— Ann Glasford is the lucky gal! M—P—M Betty Wolgamott and Faith Kincaid are both after the one and only Maquet—May the best girl win—(Watch out for the little Ricci girl tho; gals.) M—P—M Flash l’rofessor Walker has an heiress! Chemistry II students were so excited they each brought her a toy. M—P—M A probable couple to the Prom are James Cruse and Kate Root. We wonder now what Bob Doren will do. It is rumored that Helen Psinas is willing to be her “stand in”—(so are ten million others) M—P—M Did you know that IjoIs Mc-Clintick invited Tommy Lucera to a scavenger hunt? Wonder what they found? M—P—M Olive Walters seems to have deserted Jerry Seeyle for Fred Darche. M—P—M It must Ik great to be able to pay your money and take your choice. Charleen Seibel had three bids to the Prom.

Forensic Club Makes Plans For Speech Tournament Plans are being made by the Forsenic Club for the Intra-mural Speech Tournament to be held early next fall. Decisions as to what events will be sponsored have not been made, but debate, extempore speaking, oratorical declamation, and original oratory are all being considered. Anyone who wishes, except varsity debaters and speakers, may enter as many events as he wishes. Debate teams will he formed so as to have a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior team, and possibly teams representing social science classes. The Speech department hopes to find new material through this channel, so students should not stay away just because they haven't experience—that’s what this tournament is for.
