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.

SENIOR EDITIO Departing Seniors Give Timely Bits of Advice to Underclass Friends Open thine ears, all you lower classmen, and heed the advice of those worldly-wise graduating seniors. After the wear and tear of four ???? storm-ridden years, a few of our departing (they hope) seniors, have taken it upon themselves to disclose the advantages and pitfalls that may be encountered over that road whose final destination is a diploma and your first step into the world which lies outside the four walls of Pekin High. One of the favorite bits of advice is to participate in activities. Allen Marrett advises freshmen and sophomores to take part in as many activities as your time allows, and Bob Kalin adds a little more to this statement when he suggests that you work hard and you will find high school a pleasure rather than a bore. Some seniors dwell on their favorite subjects as a means of advice. Lois Knieriem recommends taking chemistry under Mr. Walker as it’s a grand subject”: while Eileen Henterseber leans toward journalism. Nothing like It. states Eileen. Marian Hawk and Charlotte Irby stress the point of working hard but still getting your share of enjoyment out of school. Says Marian, “Get your good grades while you're young and don’t wait 'til you are a senior.” The way Marian talks you’d think you need an arm-chair plus an old-age pension by the time you’re seniors. (Some seniors don't miss it far.) Wilfred Bceney talks like a “man of the world. He says that we all come in without advice and it’s a darn” good policy to go out without it. La urine Horn advises freshmen not to be Bolshe-visks like Bob Kahn and Wendell McMullen. (For further information, Bob and Wendell may consult Laurine in Mr. Durman’s room any night after school.) The most practical advice is given by Lois Trimble and Albino Delmastro who advise you to do your work and get as much out of it as possible if you expect to succeed In the end.

Combine Nursing, Home Management, In New Course Students in the health and home nursing classes will see a new arrangement next year. Miss Spaulding has arranged it so that next year’s tbird semester Home Nursing class will be combined with home management. Under this method, then, the girls will be able to major in home economics. Misses Spaulding and Cooper will cooperate in the teaching of this class. Next year the health classes will meet a period every day for nine weeks instead of the present one period a week for the entire semester. The course will be given in connection with the social science course. Back Pekinois Advertisers LOFTHOUSE '■ DRESS SHOPPE C 525 COURT ST.
