The president has already met 1 with the new cabinet which con- j sists of Harriett Zimmerman.! vice-president; Patricia Moore, junior representative; Jean Rogers. sophomore representative; Jean King, freshman representative; and Miss Gramlich. adviser. This group has discussed ways of improving and doing things for the school during next year, and has selected the following girls to serve on the council together with the cabinet: Bernice Sanders. Eleanor Galbraith. Jessie Krazier. Mary Ellen Thomas. Janice Cooper, and El’a May Williamson. A successful year with a strong council is expected for the coming term.

Even Dignified Seniors Have Embarrassing Moments Of all the students in P. C. H. S. our seniors seem to have the biggest share of embarrassing moments. Jeanne Tackenberg was rightfully embarrassed the other evening when a group of her friends called up a boy (namely Bob I)oren), impersonating her, asked him to go to a co-ed party. Hob McDonald says his most embarrassing moment was when Catherine Philips asked him to go to the prom. Norma Stocker!, of all people, was terribly set back when she was sent to the penalty hall for chewing gum in class. Well, seniors can’t get away with everything. I do believe Joe Ranch holds the prize for the most embarrassing moment. One night, while roller skating over to Grace Arnold's house, he fell down and tore the seat of his pants. It was too late to go back and change, (Joe's motto is never be late i, so he just tied his sweater around his waist, at Grace’s suggestion. Gene Smcdley must be a superhuman—he says he has never had an embarrassing moment. However, after much deep thinking. he finally admitted that thinking out loud causes much embarrassment. Jim Garls’ special moment was when he struck out with the bases loaded, and the home crowd practically brought down the skies with boos. Eileen Hines just doesn’t know right from left. At any rate she was frightfully embarrassed In a dance recital when all the other dancers went one direction, and she made the big mistake of going the other way.
