Old man time has trucked right along, and another year is almost over at P. C. H. S. The other night we got out the old crying towel and had a weep over the past Issues of the Pekinois. It seems that this has been quite a j year as far as sports are concerned. Here are some of the high-i lights: We noticed in the first issue of the paper that Lefty” Schlie-man copped the frosh-soph tennis tournament. In the third issue. Coach Hauss-ler announced the basketball schedule for the coming season which included such teams as Clinton. Coal City, and Hillsboro | in addition to the regular load of tough teams. The sixth Issue will probably go down in the annals of history, for it was then that the Round-heads” was born. In addition to that, the entire paper was dedicated to the football team. The write up of the wrestling team’s debut appeared in the ninth issue. The grapplers got off to a flying start by trouncing Normal. In issue number ten. it was announced that Captain Bob Horen, who had been injured in basketball practice, would be forced to remain on the side lines for some time. Needless to say. things looked black. The 1939 grid schedule was released in the succeeding issue. Two new names, Pana and Dan- RIGGER AND BETTER SANDWICH SHOP GEM l N E TKXDERLOIN BAR B Q - HAMBURGERS FOUNTAIN 8FRVICK ftth anti Willow Phone »?9-4 ville, were added to the already stiff schedule. Three new intra-mural basketball champs. Illinois. Fordham. and Dartmouth, were crowned in the next issue, and preparations for a new group of teams were being made. Possibly the high point of the vear. as far as sports publicity is concerned, was the fourteenth Pekinois. an eight page Regional Tourney edition. In this issue ap peared information about each of the regional teams as well as all the other dope on the tournament. During the next few issues, while the sports staff was struggling with an acute attack of the spring fever, the track, baseball, tennis, and golf teams were dusting off their equipment and starting practice. From here on out. things happened too fast and furiously to single out and mention so we just wrung out the erving towel, wiped our eyes, and put the papers back in the file. YVETTE'S Pekin’s Finest Women’s Store Soothsayer Prophesies Activities Ot Senior Athletes 10 Years Hence Being quite a prophet, I have run into no end of trouble in the past five weeks. Many of the graduating seniors are coming to me to find out what their friends on the athletic teams will be doing about ten years from now. I’ve told those students exactly where they would be, and what they would be doing, and so I guessed that you’d like to get in on my ace predictions, but don’t quote me. As I see it. Don Miscellaneous” Mahle will be on the boards. His charming quiet style has been to his advantage, for he is now playing the part of Ferdinand the Bull” in a home talent show at Tremont. George Herclienrodcr’s occupation is very unique. Due to his physical make-up. Hereby has finally landed'a position at A. O. Spaulding's, modeling for a new style football. James Little Aetna Unlaml has two pastimes. He is still In the Celestial City doing some high-pressured life insurance selling. and also hanging around the high school's new tennis courts, trying for his first tennis win. In New York City, one can always find Ettore Babe Seran-gell. He has hought out Thompson’s and Child’s chain restaurants. and has installed his new line of Italian specialties. (In one of his places. Mason Grigsby is head cook and bottle washer.) In Santa Boop. Mexico. Jim Gnrls is working as ace sports announcer for the Aztec Broadcasting Company. Jim’s work is improving. and it Is possible the government will let him back into the U. S. soon. The last days of the old movie pictures are coming to an end. No. television hasn’t caused their downfall: instead Ixmis “Louie ’ Veerman has recently signed a contract with M. O. M. to play the part of Rhett Butler in the production Gone With The Wind.” which is finally going to be produced. Walt Maurer has gone off and got married to Harriet Winkel. (Back in 1939 we sorta expected it.) They have twelve kids, but Walt is sore because they are all girls. (P. S.) In order not to get Walt to angry, we might mention that he is also a multi-millionaire Down in the deepest part of the African jungle. Commander Robert Horen Is leading an important game hunting expedition. It is rumored that he is also looking for the extinct species of bug life, the jitterbug.” The new craze of 1949 is just a return of an old fad. Evans Evie Farr, former P. C. H. S. athlete. s now attempting to beat Shipwreck” Kelly's existing flag pole slttln Tecord. Ev” had to turn to something besides track. When he ran the lftft yard dash (Continued on page 16. col. 1.)
