PEPSI-COLA CONTEST The National Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Con- test in which high school seniors all over the U. S. take part was given in P. H. S. again this year. The senior class chose from its numbers the two whom they thought were the uppermost in their class. When the two hour test was given in February, Robert Beal and Charles Coolong took it. ln the method of ranking used in this test the highest score one can get is 10. Those with a score of 10 are carefully checked re- garding Hnancial ability, and those who could best use the 154,000 scholarship receive it. The next best group receives a score of 9, the next, a score of 8 and so on. Last year Harriet Stowell was in the group with the highest score, and she received an award of S50 to help in purchasing books for college. This year our students were not as fortunate. One received a score of 9g the other, a score of 8. IUNIOR PROM On Friday. April 11, the Alumni Gym was the scene of a semi-formal dance, the Iunior Prom. Dancing was from 8:30 to
