To our Miss Jones we point with pride, We hear she'll soon become a bride. For ever widening friendship scope Will come to mind, Miss Barnes we hope. Miss Maurer with quick skillful moves Our works of art three times improves. Miss Mosling, in her charming way, Makes English lessons more like play. At last we come with saddened trend, To what our writers call the end, But not till Mr. Hainline will, Faithful returns our fears to still. In Mr. Bolin's history class It took much skill to even passg But days in school we spent with joy, Though we denied it, girl and boy.

Hun- dreds of people traveled by, each walking to one side and none trying to remove the obstacle. Boy and girls, tor, big enough to have moved the stone away easily if they had all pushed, did like the others-and walked around it. Then, one day, the crafty old duke thought it was time to enjoy his little joke on the world. In the presence cf most of those who had been walking around the stone for many months, he put his shoulder to it and pushed. It easily rolled over to one side of the highway. But more interesting-it was hcllow! Reaching down into the cavity within it, the old duke drew forth a heavy purse of gold. On it was written: To him who moves the stone. Think about this-and see if you don't agree that the habit of sav- ing is very much like the stone in the stcry.

Q And so not lcng after Columbus died, There were many new explorersg Who set out to see what they cculd find, And crossed the sea of horrors. They all came back with such good tales, About that strange land Wildg That very soon it was settled, then By a band of Pilgrim's mild.

We lcok upon our country, As it is todayg We are all free and happy, And everyone is gay. We thank God for these blessings, That we have here todayg We hope you, too, will thank Him, That's all we have to say. With Coolidge as our president, Many say, It seems like heaven, We have to bid ycu all adieu, ln the year of twenty-seven. 1 -Flora Stringer. 1927 MMMQM M V 'l'WEN'l'Y-NINE aeweecevz was 'fa' :'e:'s1'ex 'e1'e E amee aw new Sermons Seventh Grabs SECTION 7A 8 MR BoL1N Advlsel FIRST Row Evelyn Stuber Anna Rack Ruth Allce Portel Jeanette Rosenberg Clara Pfelffel Veda Thomas Margaret Wlnnel Opal Hayes Helen He '-:el SECOND ROW Clarence Woelfle Wllham Flshel Challes Ioeffelman Earl Taylol Edmund Helmlg Call Jagla Edwald Proehl THIRD ROW W1l11e Mefford Dora Tal1'lb0l.11lIlE LOUISE Mana: elll Jeanette WLStL1 velt Ilene D1ud1 Erma Magee Russel Ba11ev ham Bandy M1lfe1d Strubhar THE JUNIOR HIGH ALPHABET Stands for Abel who s tled to the desk H1s love for the glrls IS none but the best Stands f01 Bastlan Wlth eyes of brown She IS cne of the nlcest glrls 1n town Stands fo1 Cleveland, who llkes all the boys Not for keeps but Just for her toys Stands for Denekas who has a cute grln, He chuck full of mlschlef but not full of s1n Stands for Elmore a very short man We d almcst rmstake h1m for Peter Pan Stands for Frankenstem, a stralght haxred M1ss Who s fllled full of fun and Joyful bllss Stands for Gale whose studlous ways Have helped her greatly on exam days H-Stands for Hardenbrook Whose loud harrass Has brought undenlable panlc to MISS Cralg s class I Stands fcr Ide wlth a twlnkle 1n hls eye N orvllle s qulte Wltty, and so very sly J Stands for Jacobs so full of pep To keep up w1th her you surely must step Q iMM M 1 927 MbEEQQYiE M O O O Q O 7 9 - 9' 9 9' Q O' O 1 1 Y N: W e I I W 1 . v .

Zgaskethall OU R BASKETBALL SEASON The Pekin Junior High school has just experienced the most successful basketball season in its history. The new gym was filled to its capacity at every game. At the opening game with East Peoria over 500 attended. Our smallest crowd was 300. Looking at this record in attendance we shall have to commend our student body for its loyal support. I'm sure the team appre- ciated it and realized that those rousing cheers led by our cheer-leader, Bob Cash, helped mightily to turn the tide of battle. The teachers were 100 per cent supporters especially our principal, Mrs. Siebens, who worked diligently along with Coach Bolin to make our athletics a suc- cess. Miss Geisert, chairman of the refreshment committee, was always present with candy, peanuts, etc. Mrs. Lohnes' car was always at our service for trips out of town. I wish we had room to go on tell- ing how all the teachers helped us, but we can't give them all the space in this book. We appreciate the help of our superintendent, Mr. C. B. Smith, and his interest in our athletic activities. Although we lost a few games and were not always ahead on the score board, we can say we never were behind in sportsmanship. Let us not dwell on the past too long. So here's to the team of 1927-1928. May they be even more successful. P. Bolin, Coach.

CLYDE CHAMBERLAIN P Chamberlain, our midget captain, was the cleverest player we had on our light Weights. He is very small, but he overcame his lack of size by his lightening speed. THOMAS ROSS Ross was a running mate for Bush, the pair wcrked finely together. Ross was a fast man and did a lot of good work for his team. ORVILLE TUN IS P Tunis, our big six-foot forward, had the best eye on the squad, al- though his first year, he was plenty hard to stop. We will look for him to step cut in the Big Twelve limelight next year. ROBERT SMITH Smith, utility man, played in most of the games. He was a hard worker and always played his part. 1927 nfs sbs sbs uhenubsfukul mAh THIRTY SIX IEHEVSHS BEv2E,'Ed'SHEH 2EE!

He will be with us next year and we expect great things of John next year. KENNETH BUSH Bush was another prcduct of the Union Mission Sunday school league. He was a very dependable guard and a clean player. BOB CASH Cash, our cheer-leader, was always on the job. He kept the crowd pepped up and we owe much of our success to his co-operation. WORTHY OF MENTION Bohlander, Harris, Sanborn, are to be recommended for their loyalty. These boys stayed out all season and took the usual punishments dealt to the Scrubs James Joerger, Harland Andrae deserve credit for being out to prac- tice regularly, getting in a few games and each time giving a good account JAMES FITZANKO Fitzanko, another utility man, made the regulars fight to hold their berth.

The recognition service was November 10, when more than 40 girls were received into the organization. The annual vesper service was held in the First M. E. church on February 6. Miss Ebaugh and Miss Cook of the Peoria Y. W. C. A. were with us and at different times spoke to the girls of Junior High schcol. We have three groups in Junior High. . E. QE. Q. The dream of many girls and women of Pekin was realized when prop- erty on Broadway was bought for a Y. W. C. A. An organization has been started making this a branch of the Peoria Y. W. C. A. for one year. Officers were elected and the membership drive was put on, assisted by workers from all the churches in the city. With the philanthropic citizens interested in us, the success of the Y. W. C. A. is most certain. 1 927 M , 919fff'919Q9109 19100104OQOO191OQOO4O Hees,'eH9!sr'eweusueMe E feds isesr'er'sAsMsrisus Asus Qbur Glen lub MRS.

'ENE E A M3333 The QBperetta By ROBERT CASH I was asked to write some poetry. So I'll juggle a couple cf linesg I'll do exactly as I am told. But don't know about the rhymes. I'll give you some personal mention Which I hope you'll like all right. J ack Crowder is quite good-looking, And he acted with all his might. And Mike O'Noole, or Cyril Clark. Indeed,' he is very fineg But as far as doing the Charleston,' That's where he draws the line. Jake put up the home-like scenery. Much credit he deserves. But as for pounding his fingers- Why he gets on his own poor nerves. Now Peggy's quite gcod-looking. Just ask James Hannig so. And if you don't agree with him, Then it's time you tell him so. Now James, I hope you don't feel hurt, Or even take this to heart. For I'm afraid you might soon leave Befcre we get a start. The Operetta was very nice- I have heard many say, That they were sure they would all co me If we held it another day. Old Junior High is still climbing up And she's going to reach the top, But I'm sure you don't like my poetry- So I bid you adieu and stop. back HEHEHEHMSHEHEiEHe2EB!MEHEr1'EHE I 927 IWQBEHEHEH ' 'WA 1 SM ' FIFTY-EIGHT 1l'ifDgfPigPi,1VifUi Wifii UifPi'lifIi1Pi5l1 Q yifiifijfl1vfPifUifIifIifIidIifiifiiflifiifliyf he' uk: An' ububuhs Ahhh' ubuhu Ah Aubulub hubs? xhnbu Aububububufu Ah so 11 S ,f i Teacher: Give me a sentence with the word 'eclipse' in it.

Lucille Taylor: I can't say that I think much of this new sewing machine, it's a disappointment. Elizabeth Simon: What's wrong with it? L.

Not if this gun shoots straight, muttered the desperate neighbor. Aha, cried the egg As it splashed a bit, 1 was cast for the villian And made a hit. If you refuse me, he swore, I shall die.
