She would like to take a trip to the West coast, go to the fair, and then to Mexico. Harold Wcghorst is another industrious person. He plans to do some work and be a good boy this summer. Dalpha McDonald and some girls are going to rent a cabin at Chillicothe. She, too. would like to see the fair. Both fairs are certainly going to make money from our P. C. H. S. students. Eloisc Junker and Elizabeth McLeod are going to Detroit. Both girls would like to go out West and stay on a dude ranch for a while. Fred Darche is going to spend his vacation In Montreal. Canada. I aivlda Lawson might go to a farm in Missouri. At least, she'd like to go. Not many girls have a chance to go to an Indian Reservation in Wisconsin, but that is where Hetty Armstrong is going to spend her vacation. 'T think I’ll spend my time looking for a husband this summer so I won’t have to go to work,'' said Mildred Gregersen. Mildred Taylor and Marjorie Anderson haven’t decided where they’re going yet. but Mildred would like to go to Sullivan, Illinois, and Marjorie wants to go to Iowa. George Harris would like to go up North—Canada to you freshies—and hum and fish. On his way back, he wants to go through Minnesota. 1-Ie wants only the boys he runs around with along no parents or chaperons and live just as he pleases. Grace Griffin said that she would like to spend her vacation at the New York World’s Fair and probably will. Ka hr-11 DuRois is going to do what she did last year. The place is Lavrencevllle. She likes to go there because she loves to ride the surfboards. So it looks as though the seniors. this summer, will visit many interesting p’aces. N.

Alumni Association Holds Banquet for Senior Grads The old grads of Pekin High School will keep up the yearly tradition by giving a banquet for the graduates this year. The banquet will be held at the Masonic Temple on June 9, beginning promptly at 6:45. After roll call, several ladies from the class of 1889 are to be called upon to say a few words Since this i to be Mr. Peterson’s first banquet with the association, he will be Introduced to the former and new grads. Thus far. the organization has not been a permanent one. so this year it is the aim of the officers to establish it as such. The plan would include a permanent board of directors, who would keep a record of all the accomplishments of the association as time passes. Such a program would prove exceptionally helpful to the new officers each year, as they could see what is expected of them according to the past, along with their new ideas. During the business session, the new officers for the coming year will be announced. The successful leaders of the past year have been: John Sanborn, '35. president: Virginia Schlieman. ’35. vice-president: John Gainer. ’38, vice-president: Berneda Conn. ’35. secretary: and Robert Schwartz. ’35. treasurer. After the banquet and business session, dancing will follow to the flowing rhythm of Ed Miller’s Alumni Orchestra. In order to finance the affair. J each alumni member must buy his own ticket, but the 207 members of this vear’s graduating class are Invited as guests of the association on June 9. -H- -I' 'I'M RIGHT HAND COLUMN COHEN FURNITURE CO. 4 J4 Court Street PEKIN.

Students Recall Favorite Year During High School “Four years—four little years— our drops of time.” and so it seems to the graduating seniors. Their four years have seemed short and in remembering them, they recall their favorites. Mary Fabry liked her senior vear the best because she knows she’s going to finish. «nd she is also getting better grades. “I liked them all.” replied Lois Becker, “but I believe my senior vear stands out a little more than the others.” v Albert Bottin agrees with Lois and Mary, but is unable to give a reason. The senior year is Ruth Court-right’s choice because she had more fun, got to be in the senior corridor, and just felt “bigger.” Marjorie Anderson — “Sophomore. because I didn’t ‘have so much school work to do. and I liked the classes I was In.” I liked my senior year best because there’s so many more ac- ( tlvltles.” stated Edward Wood-dell. Mary Alice Nelli liked her sen- , ior year best because she got acquainted with more underclassmen than in any other year. ”1 liked my sophomore year the best, but I can’t give a reason for it, Eileen Hines tells us. Fred Darehe says, “It must have been my junior year because (Cont. on Page 8. Col. 1) THE American National Bank PEKIN. ILLINOIS Member Federal Reserve System Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
