Freshman Submits Book Of Original Poems For English Two Project It’s not only seniors who can do creative things. A freshman. Gene Weghorst by name, handed In an original poetry project to Miss Brainard recently in his English 2 class. Among the original poems in the book are these: THE DICTIONARY Now take the dictionary, folks. There’s nothing quite so keen As all the words assembled there, If you just know what they mean. They start with A and go on thru; They end with Z you know; And every one will understand They cause us lots of woe. THE SPARROW Dear little birdie, braving the snow. They call you a sparrow, wherever you go. But I’ll place crumbs, all in a row, So that you might find them When the cold winds blow, THE HIGH WAY One mad rush along the way, Are our highways of today. Never safe for children’s play— But what Is there for us to say? Drunken drivers, careless shleks. Causing women’s and children’s shrieks. This hurry-schurry makes one weak; I’d like to smack them on the beak. Fifteen Seniors Rate Two Honor Clubs; Low’man, Puckett Belong To Three Two seniors, June Lowman and Alfreeda Puckett, have the distinction of belonging to three national Honor groups at Pekin High this year. June, co-editor of the Pekinois. is a member of Quill and Scroll, Thespians, and National Honor Society. Alfreeda is a member of National Forensic, Quill and Scroll, and National Honor Society. Thirteen seniors belong to two honor groups. National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll claim Ruth Tyler, also co-editor of the Peklnols; Grace Jurgens, Mildred Eden; Eileen Henterseher, Charlotte Irby, Shirley Zehr, Maxine McBride. Evalyn Borsch, Verla Hieser, and Meleta Heiser. Margery Oltman and Lois Trimble belong to National Honor and Thespians; and Jim Hapenney is a Thespian and a Quill and Scroll member. Underclassmen Vote On Favorite Departing Grads Who is your most popular senior? The underclassmen seem very emphatic about their selections. Wilma Doren, a small frosh B was quite sure that Jim Clilado was her favorite in spite of the fact that he won’t sing for her. Truck Wieburg, who thinks he’s junior A but can’t say for sure, chooses Swede Luft. Dova Fuller, a blond junior A selected Jim Clii-ado also. Billie Borsch, sophomore A, says Louts Veerman, He's such a good tennis player. A well known freshman B, Carol Brown plays her favorites in big numbers. Duke Hotello, Swede Luft, Eugene Ma-quet, and their girls. Watch out for that little frosh, girls. Marian Bruder, junior A, makes her choice as Dorothy Dunn. A popular sophomore A, Jeanne Ehrhardt states that Peach Jurgens Is the senior of her choice. John Gainer is Lynas Lane'9 choice. Sh’e a junior A. Another junior A, Cleo Vivianno, named both Rex Sherman and Duke Ro-tello as favorites. He seems to go for the team in a big way. Margery Hackler says Swede Luft, Chet Hellyer is definitely the favorite of Henry Nanninga, a blond junior A. Jim Stinky” Davis, sophmore B. favors Beverly Gnrlng, and a mischievous sophomore A in the person of Bill Mayer-Oakes likes Duke Botello because he goes to Sunday school once in a while. Mildred Eden is Ed Underwood’s idea of a grand girl. Ed’s a junior A. Altho these seniors may not be your favorites, they’re all a good example of what each underclassmen can be if he lives up to some of their standards.

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.

SENIOR EDITION Page 7 State Highway Department Gives Instruction In Safe Driving To Students The State Highway Department sent a representative today in preparation of the drivers’ course which is to be given to the juniors and seniors in connection with the course given in home rooms. Initial experience of the state highway plans to get one of the local sales companies here— Chevrolet, Buick, etc.—to buy a “dual control” for one of their demonstration cars. That agency will send one of their own mechanics, periodically, out for lessons in dual control about three or four times a year. The students will receive a grade on their driving, and credit will be given as in any other subject. The State Highway Department is cooperating for the enrichment of the home room course. At the end of the series of lessons, a final test will be given. Speech Group Is Still Busy Although the Big 12 ended all competitive speech activities, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Atkinson are engaged in commencement, baccalaureate, and Memorial Day programs. As the baccalaureate exercises this year are to be given by students, many seniors are learning orations. Coach Nelson’s debate squad is discussing next year’s debate question, Resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. This question should be a spirited and timely subject. It will widen interest in current foreign issues.
