Bob Kahn Declares New Born Senior Brainstorm; Scoop Rosenberg Is Inspiration Of Portrait Dignified seniors, as well as underclass friends, faculty, and relatives furnished material for character themes in good old English 8 this last semester. The one following was written by Bob Kahn as a class exercise. Since it gives a portrait of a well-known senior, it deserves place in the senior issue of the Peklnois.

Both Mary and Idalene have had a semester of journalism and have been active members of this year’s staff. Bernard Rosenberg will take over the Job of sports editor held this year by Jim Hapenney, and Betty Harrison will be head proof reader.

He opens the door, and with the tune of Tiny Hill’s theme song on his lips asks, “Where is Hapenney and McMullen,” all in one breath, and without waiting for an answer, bows slightly, and is “gone with the wind,” while the inmates of the room gasp for breath. With a snake-like swing of his hips, Leonard Rosenberg, better known as Scoop” to his friends, can be seen in a distance with his hands beating a Gene Krupa rendition of “The Snake Charmer.” “Scoop” is a good natured fellow who seldom gets angry and has a burning desire to have a great band of his own someday, very similar to Benny Goodman’s orchestra. According to many people “Scoop” will be at the top way before his is eligible for an old-age pension. TAZEWELL QANDY CO. THE SCHURMAN AGENCY Wholesale Candy Jobin i-tBT's I I.

Seniors Recall Pleasant Memories of Days Past Looking over their four years of high school, the graduates recall many pleasant experiences. When asked wliat their most enjoyable experience at P. C. H. S. was. and what they would do or would not do again, the following seniors replied: Shirley Zehr: I enjoyed our journalism class, especially Scoop” Rosenberg’s poems. I would go to Pekin High all four years if I could start over again. Bertha Petrie: My most enjoyable experience was being chosen as a delegate to the State Student Council Convention, although I believe my most enjoyable experience will be graduation! If I had four years to start over. I would not associate with seniors while still a freshman, nor take chemistry when a senior. Julian Botello: I liked talking to Miss Falkin’s fifth hour assistant. (Three guesses who it is) If I were starting all over again, I’d study my English 8. Olive Walters: I enjoyed A capclla choir. If I were starting again, I would participate in more things, and study harder. Steve Krpan: My most enjoyable experience was getting the news for the Pekinois from Miss Trowbridge. Lcannn Pribblo: I enjoyed the 1938 basketball tournaments even if we didn’t win the State. If I were starting again, I would enter more school activities. Earl Woodall: I enjoyed beating Lincoln, national contender, in a debate at Normal. I aurinc Horn: I’ve spent my most enjoyable hours in school being assistant to Mr. Durman and Mr. Grieve. If I could start again, I think I would begin assisting when I was a fresh-ie.”
