MGREETING QU O THE. READERS OF THE NARClSSUS:n-We present to you T in this little book the flower of our year's work, with the hope that it may find as hearty a welcome as the spring blossom from which it derives it's name. May the hidden thoughts, which we have struggled to give expression, appeal to you as the delicate fragrance of the first uplifted buds of the Narcissus. We pray you, be the gentle readerj' in truth, and temper your , -g I, judgment so that we may not meet the harsh fate of the mythical youth, Narcissus. A Toast Here's with all our earnest zest to the flow'r we love the best Here's to our clear H Narcissus l Sweeter far than all the rest-Here's to all its faults confest. Slow-growing in the soil of work, Enduring all the frosts that lurk, Flower of our P. H. S., now unfold your petal crest. Many hardships did accrue as the flower slowly grewg Here's to them all-so many! Here's to all that we did rue, trials so sore and yearnings toog Yet these but made the flower fair ' And gave to it a fragrance rare- Precious tribute-all for you, our Alma Mater, Old Peru.

ARCIS li-.-.-N W-- '....,,,, ,i'm: SENIORS' PSALM OF SCHOOL 'l'ell me not, with troubled sighing, School is but an endless grind! For if you will brave demerits, You can 'liven it you'll find. Wisdom's lore was oft so puzzling That our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, with fears, were loudly beating, When our cards the teachers gave. Some enjoyment and some study VVas each Seniors usual way, And we worked, that each tomorrow Found us ready for the day. We shirked no lesson, howe'er easy, But prepared it just the same, So that in class if we should fail, We'd not have to bear the blame. When we saw the names of others Carved upon our desks with care, How we yearned to follow likewise, Names, which seen, perhaps, by others, Plodding on their weary way, May give them more desire for study. And rouse their courage for the fray. For school means labor, school means study, To attain what's been our dream. Through four long years of patient striving, lVe've seen commencemenfs beck'ning gleam And, as now we leave the High School, The scene of many hopes and fears, Success has filled our hearts with gladness: The parting hlls our eyes with tears. Then, in the Worldls broad field of learning, In the scholarship of Life. Shall we let the word, Defeated , Overwhelm us in the strife? No, we'll all be up and doing, As fn Life we take our stand, And show the world that '08 Seniors Are loyal, faithful, true and grand. And View with pride our own carved there. GRACE 1-IETZNER, 'O8. 29 W'-- W A eefef as - N ...,. ww 0 8 N .., S CLASS PROPHECY N the year 1960, a great tournament of air ships which started from Hamburg, Germany, arrived in peaceful Peru, in honor of two very scientific inventors, john Banks and Ralph Conradt, who in the good old golden school days were the kid won- ders in Chemistry. They conceived the air ship idea in the year 1907 when the peaceful village of Peru turned out into her streets and the people gazed heavenward to see the first air ship pass over the village and the sages shook their heads and said, l'VVhat wonderful things will our grandchildren see. In this tournament was another noted visitor, also a native of Peru, George Opp. George could have been President of the United States all right, but he wouldn't stand for dirty politics, so he went to Germany where he is teaching bugology in a select school for young ladies. In honor of these visitors the remaining alumni of 1908 planned a banquet at the village Tavern to talk over old times and consider the careers made by their classsmates,-and indeed, dear reader, -30 when there wasn't a pupil in this great- Class but had a career for better or for worse, it grieves me greatly to say that the majority of them just faded away in the course of human events and have left no dents on the hard-Walked sands of time. Grace Hetzner, for instance, who could vvarble like a bird and hit the high notes might have been a grand opera star, except for her failing for Ko- komo and when last heard of was singing I Am As Happy As the Little Birds in May at a five-cent theatre with a good-looking manager in Kokomo. Then Kate Cox, the girl wonder of the Class, at least ought to have been President of a Young Ladies' Seminary but she just married and settled down being a prominent member of the Peru Read- ing Club. Anna Rife started out being a strong advocate of woman's rights and when last heard of was in Utah. Pleasant Iicll, who had a fondness for the girls, is in Utah also where they say many pleasant bells are tolling. Karl Koontz went west to make his fortune and turned out to be a jolly bachelor and treats the mmmm f wwwm4.,....--'-'-.. lwwwww AHC' 1 if SSUS girls to candy now just as he was wont to do. Ada Brough is one of the famous members of the Class, writing books that are as popular as Mary I-lolme's works. Ella Brown is good at all sorts of things, and who's girlish delight it was to try on hats, is now running a :millinery establishment. Harry Miller has won for himself great honors in the artistic line, his long suit being girls' heads. Roscoe Dillman is leading man in a melodrama, he c0uldn't resist the stage, although he had the carriage of a senator.. Raymond Long had the same failing as Dillman and made a blood-curdling villain. Ruth Cook, who took to school-teaching, had the honor of being Latin instructor in the old P. H. S. Ethel Sarvier who also took to missionary work got Miss VVilson's position after her retirement from public service as Mathematics teacher. Mary VVhittenberger who was crazy about basket-ball and gym work couldn't get over it, and turned out a gym teacher, and had the star girls' team of Indiana. Earl Keyes, that fiery soul of oratory, is chair- man of the city council. Mary Lockwood, who didn't like the boys, got over it and visited her brother George at Waslliiig- ton and the last report of her was that she was still as popular as ever in the gay social life of the Capital. Howard Stitt liked working in a canning factory when a boy, decided to OWII one and does a pros- perous business. Ethel Lesh made herself popular by publishing a book entitled 'fHow to Studyf' Marie. Clymer while very noisy settled down enough to become a Domestic Science teacher, rivalinff the pies that mother used to make. b Chester Knause, who is very much interested in naval affairs, is running a steamboat at Bass Lake. Helen Rhein made a career for herself by her excellent execution of that instrument called the violin. Minnie Levi, who is fond of the social whirl and the boys, settled down to the sad lot of matrimony and is happy as ever. Alfred Bergman, who won fame as a foot-ball 31- A H X T TW' 'A'A A A Cfwmww QSUS is -X52 0 8 Ntagfg player, turned out to be a famous coach. Berne Welch, another patriotic soul, followed right in Alfred's footsteps. Guy Forney started out too, but it was too much trouble so he had the right idea and married a girl with money. Margaret johnson, who was rather fond of dress- ing up and looking pretty, turned out to be a swell model for Marshall Fields, Chicago. Helen Pearson, who was very fond of her music or her teacher, toured the country giving concerts. Clarence Comerford or Strong-heart makes a very picturesque salesman for a Gents' Furnishing Company. CORONE.R'S REPORT S THE saying goes: All good things must end, and it was a sad day when the last graduate of '08 made his transition to the unknown region, but strange to relate, the World kept right on moving and gave these reports for the deaths of his subjects. -32 Zula Russel, who, being subject to giggles, has such a pleasing expresison that she wins children's hearts, is teaching a kindergarten. Ella Smith, who could do things when she got started, as was shown in the Chemistry Lab, joined the Salvation Army. Mabel Loughran, another fair maiden whom the gods favored with a voice, was doing church solo work when last heard of. As for the humble recorder of these interesting yet somewhat sad events, she was one of those, as previously mentioned, who left no tracks on the sands of times but just faded away. ' FRANCES SCHUTT. There was a sad number affected by that disease called knowledge which led to brain-storms, and as they couldn'1 stand the pressure the following died early in life: George Opp, Ethel Sarver, Kate Cox, Earl Keyes, Harry Miller, Ethel Lesh, Ruth Cook and Marie Clymer. Then still sadder were the brain-storms that might have been: Grace Hetzner, Ella Brown, N 1 9 0 a lt .f ...s..! Frances Schutt, Mary Lockwood. Ada Brough and Minnie Levi. They all lived long lives. The following athletic gods died doing the fol- lowing stunts : Still arm to front horizontal: right leg' to front horizontal 3 To chestg push frontg To chest: push verticalg Stiff arm: front horizontal: raise on toesg Dutch llergman, Guy Forney, Berne Welch, and Howard Stitt. They made the hit of their lives March 25th, '08, performing before the publicg and the report was carried that the public lived through it. Another person whose life was made short by strenuous athletic tendencies was Mary VVhitten- berger, goddess of Basket-Ball. Then there were those who rendered the World miserable by being affected by the art of music, The following warhled and lived as long as the World could stand it: Mabel Loughran, Anna Rife, Ray- mond Long. and Chester Knause, although it is im- posible to say what the latter two sang. Helen Pearson's long suit was the piano, while Helen Rhein distinguished herself on the violin. They both died early of nervous prostration. Then there are three members very badly affected by that thing called the barn-dance. and deserved to die. the same being Zula Russel, Roscoe Dillman and Pleasant Bell. Then those two scientific boys, called john Banks and Ralph Conradt, made an explosive exit into the other world, painfully early in lifeg and sad to relate, Ella Smith, whose fondness for Chemistry caused her the same death. There is a disease called talking, which is incur- able. Karl Koontz had it in the worst form, and it brought his death early. Likewise Strong-heart Comerford was affected by it. I might add that the whole Class was afiiicted very badly with the same trouble, which perhaps caused the premature death of its members.

Our crew is a skilled one also in such diversions as music and athletics, as demonstrated by our past ac- complishments. We do not, at this time, wish to give you an entire account of our adventures or the individual histories of our crew as next year, in the columns of the Narcissus, we intend to open to you our log-book contain- ing all our fortunes and misfortunes on the great sea of learning, and so, until the next twelvemonth rolls around, the reports of our cruise must remain unknown. .

W'hen we first entered this hall of learning, we had not the opportunity of making our entry known in an annual, as the Narcissus was not published in that year. Hut we set about in a quiet, unassuming way to prove our good qualities to our contemporaries, who soon realized that we were a class to be looked up to and not one of little importance as they had formerly regarded us. Since then we have maintained the same high standing. not only in our school work, but also in athletics. for we have placed several men on both the basket-ball and foot-ball teams who are considered as stars. As for the girls, they have proved themselves to be zealous in their studies and loyal to the boys. However, we do not intend to stop here but to continue to hold the high position in which we are held. so that in 1910 when we take our places as Seniors, we will feel that we have accomplished something in our high school career, and also will be better able to go out into the school of life.

' Of course, at First we, like all other Freshmen, were puzzled when class time came, and the Sopho- mores, forgetting that they, too, were once Freshmen, really smiled at our mistakes and whispered among themselves that the 'tFreshies of 1907 were what they called, greener than grass. Still I think that with- out very much exaggeration we could say the same of the Freshmen of 1906. During the past months we have improved greatly, and now instead of being laughed at We are spoken of as a very promising class. lt was rather a hard task to select our Class Colors from all those suggested, but we finally decided on Old Gold and Sky Blue, and the For-get-me-not was chosen as our Class Flower. Good fortune has kindly favored the class with athletic boys and also girls, and as for singers, in that line our class excels, and Mr. Fisher's choir would look very small if the Freshmen were absent, even if our melodious voices are not very often heard. VX'hen we are intelligent enough to vacate our field for the coming class of Freshmen, and We become Sophoniores and juniors, we will soar high in our desire to be a highly educated class of boys and girls, and our troubles and hard work will have seemed a pleasure, when in our Senior year we have reached the zenith of our High School ambitions.

Strongheart - Faint heart ne'er' won fair lady. lf you admire the brunette step right in and ask her if you may escort her to all the social functions in the future. Yes, I admire your choice of a young lady with a large farm. Riverbank -When you take the tall young lady home be very careful in coming down the hill, as that is a favorite hiding place for hold-up men. These men rush out and accost many a youthful gallant. seizing upon their watches and large sums of money. I would advise you to carry your six-shooter with you hereafter. Earl B. -Yes, if you had written the young lady several notes relative to your common study, history, it was proper for you to write one asking to accompany her to the opera house. I can not imagine her reasons for refusing to go unless you possibly didn't frame your request in suitable lan- -80 guage. Be very careful about this in the future. Berne -Yes, the library is about the best place I know of to meet your fair one. Do not be dis- couraged if she doesn't appear the f1rst night, for sooner or later she'll turn up. and then you should ask to escort her home. Mary-Girl -I believe you are right in insisting on the young gentleman who wishes to take you some place asking you himself. Never stand for courting by proxy. Barney -If the young lady allows you to make eyes at her all day I think you are solidly enough to ask to call. Eyes will often do wonders for a per- son. You might even improve yours by practicing a few optic gymnastics every day. Mostyn-I think you are right about the youth-- ful look. Oftentimes such a thing is a drawback to a boy's social triumphs. As you grow older, though, l think you will find that such worries will pass away. The only remedy I can suggest for it is that you stay up very late every night .until the wrinkles begin to appear.

Polly -Yes, it is too bad that the light-haired young lady lives in the country, and especially on such a hilly and dangerous road. I think, though. if you take all precautions and carry weapons you may be able to arrive safely. I understand. how- ever, that it is the guards which her father has in readiness that causes most of your distress. Speak gently to the dogs and carry several nice bones with you for them and you will in time succeed. Love's course is at times dangerous. i Nellie -I do not know whether or not a mu- tual agreement upon the time at which each should start from home for school would aid you or not. lt is rather unpleasant to have to keep loimking back- ward to see if he is coming, but I know all unpleas- antness is banished when you see the jewel coming with such manly strides. Music Teacher -No, l can not advise you as to the next step to take in courting the tall young 4 Senior, if you have already tried to walk up the hill with her at noons, and if you have given her your card and picture. just keep on with your ceaseless endeavors, and perhaps in time you will win her.

VX'e shall henceforth regard it as hostile to our ideas of propriety for any to wilfully indulge in the vulgar practice of chewing gum, to which offense we have rightly added severe penalties. ln particular let it he known that no Freshman shall take up his seat at a place remote from the sovereign eye, and especially near those restless Seniors, where there are diverse dangers. To promote the general welfare and good feel- ing- we further place our canon against mutual discourse, written or verbal, the violation of which is punish- able by immediate and severe reprimands. ' W When our high injunction is laid on any who disregard it, connuement without honor is sure and inevit- able. Since internal disturbances and riotous conduct are dangerous to the common weal, and as it is Otll' devout intent to promote general peace and harmony. upon all such offenders shall fall the fatal ban of ostracism without delay and according to our high judgments. ln order that mean and trivial acts may not be made to encourage and foster higher offenses, we believe it in keeping with our keen foresight and pur- pose, in consequence of any such misdemeanor, to confiscate from one to twenty per cent. of the offenders allowance.

Then Pleasant hollowed up the stairs. 'Twas then that E. E. Keyes Took one of his most awful scares, The kind with trembling knees. With one wild yell he left the spot, This bashful Senior boy. The thought of Mary for his lot, Did craze his brain with joy. Q23 Then at eight thirty sharp he came For his sweet Mary mate, And, going to the Junior game, They stayed out until late.

So stall he did, and oh, the stare That Ancient Wlieeler gave. 'Twas such a stare as riseth with The dead man from his grave. Then dawned the happier day- Perhaps it's possibly The stare, then faded from his face. The Wlieeler Went his way.

For the event the Seniors had secured the spacious parlors at the Colonial Club, and the popular Tavern. The party was based on all supersitions possible, and the guests were greeted at the door of the Colonial Club by a nerve-tingling ghost. The parlors were dec- orated with wish-bones. horse-shoes, black cats and hoodoo symbols, and the Iloors were strewn with pins. The guests all wore some cabalistic emblem and the program was made up of games that smack' ed of witches and mystery. .-Xt 10:23, the guests went to the Tavern, where covers were placed for fifty, and a most appetizing and .well-appointed ban- quet was enjoyed. The Class colors being green and white, the table decorations, the china, and the menu all carried out that color scheme. '96 Mr. George Opp presided as toastmaster in a style which won for him many compliments, and the Faculty responded to impromptu toasts that sparkled with wit and the spirit of good-fellowship. The evening's entertainment concluded with an old-fashioned Virginia reel, danced in the parlors of the Colonial Club. PERU EVENING JOURNA l,.

The parlors and the dancing ball were decorated with '08, '09 and P. H. S. pene nants. The program consisted of musical selec- tions by several members of the Junior Class, of readings by Miss Cra'wiord, given in her most charming manner, and of old-fashioned games and dancing.

My curiosity overcoming' me, I followed him without ia word- in bewilderment and wonder. He led me to the most beautiful spot imaginable. I only wish that I had the power to describe that scene. All the nymphs and fairies of the woodland were there, attirecl in their most gorgeous costumes for the occasion, The pulpit was decorated in the High School colors and near it was a little organ, at which Spring Beauty presided. At a signal' from Jack E100 they all arose and sang. i'VVhat did they sing? I hear you ask. Ah! I shall not keep you in suspense. It was that dear old song, Down in the Dewy Dell. I listened in awe to the voices of these woodland creatures. So softly and sweetly they sang that when the last note had died away and Spring Beauty had closed the little organ, I sat as one in a dream. fearing to encore them lest they should vanish. But my reverie was broken by the stately. solemn voice of jack. Listen to me and I shall tell you what he said. lt was a great moment for me when one bright summer morning my attendants, Johnny-jump-Up and Sweet VVilliam, heralded the approach of an automobile party f'Violet, modest and shy, brought to my throne- room in a lily bell a well-written letter of introduc- tion signed 'The Faculty of the Peru High School., I immediately ordered that they be brought into my presence. Escorted by my retinue of servants, the party entered. Much to my surprise, Spring Beauty, whom you see here today, walked ahead with a very N A R I 9 iii? 0 9 l ! .,.,,, sweet and winsome lady, who tripped along for all the world as though she belonged to the Hower kingdom. Spring Beauty bowed low and said, 'Al- low me to introduce to you Miss Nellie Adele Ful- ler, head of the Latin department, who has given to us our Latin names, and who knew me during col- lege days as Claytonia Virgincia. She will speak in behalf of the Facultyf Ere I had finished expressing my pleasure at meeting so interesting a person Miss Fuller, assisted by Spring Beauty, had presented to me the rest of the Faculty. Such personihcation of knowledge and beauty I had never seen before. There was a moment of subdued silence after the formalities of introduction were over. Then, as though thrilled by a sudden thought, Miss Fuller said, 'Dear Jack, the Faculty have come to ask your advice and assistance as to what we shall do with those naughty boys and girls we have back in the Peru High School. You see,' she went on, four High School building was once a barn and although we have well remodeled stalls, there are some who persist in stamping their feet, some who neigh and hee-haw when the music teacher comes, instead of singing, and still others who will not stay tied Cto their workj. Oh! help us, help usl' and she sank on her knees in despair. l w a s ,xg gg A L Aly. so -fe ggigwm ' ' ' lim ' . V, A ill WN, J!!! . A X: ' l ' ' ' l 1 M K L., Vff My N.:-ff?

VVhen l had finished this simple speech I command- ed my servants to give each member of the Faculty a buttercup, iilled with hickory oil. So great was their joy that they repeated after me- 'For every evil under the sun There is a remedy or there is no11e.' I explained that these remedies must be used during the coming winter to have the proper effect and assured them of perfect results. Bowing their acknowledgment and hearty thanks, they departed.

'T' H Their First Call XYU Freshman boys were going to call on two junior girls for the first time, and that they might make a favorable impression they spent most of the night before their visit looking up big words in the dictionary. They longed to put on their newest ties and brightest hose, but fearing the Senior boys would make fun of them, they wore their school clothes and tried not to appear self-conscious. But in spite of this the girls saw that they were ill at ease and after several unsuccessful attempts to get the con- versation started they began to talk about that time- worn topic, the weather. -X i t .,p.

ADA BROUGH, '08. . N A HCC ' I i i is N A Moved by An lmpulse T NVAS Christmas Eve. A keen north wind was blowing and the snow was falling in drifts. The streets in VVestville were deserted, the people having gathered within the shelter of their homes. In one of the largest and most luxurious of these sat an old man. His chair was drawn up to a glow- ing grate and he seemed settled for an evening of quiet comfort. He was thinking of all that Christ- mas meant, and happy reminiscences of former ob- servations of this joyful holiday recurred to his mind as he sat in solitude. He keenly missed his wife and daughters, who were spending their holi- days in the East. The clock on the mantle struck nine. He roused himself from his thoughts and sleepily drew a badly worn memorandum book from his pocket and began to scrutinize its pages. At the bottom ol' one page he saw a small item which caused him to jump to his feet, rush into the hall, hastily don his coat and hat' and direct the man- servant to secure his carriage. The memorandum had called to his mind Widow Green, who lived in the outskirts of the city, sup- porting herself hy taking in washing. It was the thought of her on this disagreeable Christmas Eve that sent him out into the cold and stormy night. But what cared he for the Weather with such a mis- sion upon his heart! Reaching the place, he sprang out of his carriage and knocked upon the door. It was opened without delay and he was shown into a bare, desolate room, where several children were gathered around a dying fire. just the place to enact that spirit of love and helpfulness for which Christmas is observed!

HAZEL MILLER, '10, The Telegram HILE standing on the balcony of the hotel at which he was staying for a few days, John llruce was startled by seeing the porter coming toward him with a telegram. Snatch- ing it he tore it open and read, John come home at once. Mary. All sorts of dreadful things came into his mind. llad something happened to his wife or little son who had been fretful when he left home? Terribly frightened he rushed into the hotel and up to the desk. Is there a train for Portland tonight? he asked breathlessly. On being informed that there was not he hurriedly seized his coat and hat and almost flew to the station. Arriving there he of- fered five hundred dollars for a special train. In a few minutes a train crew was called and all respond- ed, except the fireman. After waiting a while the excited father and husband volunteered to take the place of the fireman, and at last the special started.

M f f '--., A H ww A True Story of Pioneer Life rainy afternoon I called upon an old lady, who was a great friend of our family, and after a great deal of coaxing persuaded her to tell me a story. This is the story that she told, and I think that I shall remember it all the days of my life. You know, my dear, that I am one of the many Pennsylvania Dutch who came across a great wil- derness to this part of the country, in great covered wagons, bringing all our earthly possessions either in the wagons or on pack horses. Generally three or four families came together for protection and help to each other. I well remember the day we started. It was bright and sunny, a typical early winter day, but not the least in keeping with our feelings, for we were sad and gloomy. VVe left at six o'clock sharp that morning and were'well on our way by noon. 'Our journey was a successful one for many days and as there were about thirty people and quite a few youngsters in our party we enjoyed our- selves immensely. I was a child myself then and S! W remember how I hated to have our out-door sports spoiled by the cold damp days that soon overtook us. By the time we reached that part of the coun- try which is now included in the state of Ohio, the nights had grown so cold and damp that we could no longer camp out of doors so that we always tried to reach some inn or farm-house before night over- took us. On the day of the dreadful experience of which I am going to tell you a terrible blizzard came up so it was decided that we should stop at the first inn or house w-e came to. We were quite lucky in finding, at about four o'clock in the after- noon, an old log house standing in a very dense forest. The house was apparently deserted, so we immediately entered and took possession of it. By six o'clock we had a great fire in the open tire-place and were quite comfortably situated, while outside a terrible storm was raging. Every- one agreed that it would be a good idea for all to go to bed at seven o'clock in order that we might get an early start in the morning. At the ordained time we children at least were soundly slumberiug. My mother, sister and myself slept in a big room on the second floor of the log house. This 109 - a- 'Ulu---- if fi I N A R C ' S U l 5:5 a! I-bv room was large and almost bare of furniture, which made it look very spooky to me. I-Iowever, I went to sleep and had slept a long time when I was awakened by the groans of someone who seemed to be near me. .Knowing that my sister was sub- ject to very severe headaches, I naturally supposed that it was she that was groaning with pain, so I whispered, 'Mother, tell Anna to stop groaning' She answered in a very frightened voice, 'Hush, child, that is not Anna l' This almost frightened me to death and I hid my head in my pillow. The groaning continued, growing louder and louder, until it seemed to me that everyone must hear it, Suddenly it ceased. There was a loud rumbling sound, a most blood-curdling scream and a terrible crash. VVe could stand our fright no longer so we rushed pell-mell down stairs into the big living room. ln a few minutes everyone was there, shivering and shaking with fright, and ask- ing unanswerable questions. The men decided that they would search the house immediately. They took lanterns, guns and axes and started for the cellar which they had de- cided to search First. In the cellar and on the first -110 floor they found nothing, but on the second floor, after opening a trap door found in a hall-way and lowering a lantern, this awful sight met their eyes. About fifty feet below them was a stone Hoor, strewn with numerous dead bodies of human be- ings. From this discovery the men decided that the house was a robbers' den, that the groaning was that of some poor mortal who had been thrown down into this frightful hole before quite dead and that the horrible scream and crash was that of some new victim, whom the robbers had brought in the middle of the night and whose body they had thrown down the trap door. You may be assured that we left that house as soon as possible, and did not wait to make the acquaintance of any of its regular inmates.

Straightway a dispute arose between them as to which one was the greater. After disputing for a long time they finally decided to settle the question by mortal combat. The time was set for the following afternoon and each one was to use the weapon of his own choice. Caesar, although urged by his friends to use a modern weapon never- theless chose the spear and shield, saying that by the aid of these and jupiter he had made his con- quests' and gained his fame. XVashington selected a cannon with which to blow out the brains of his heathen adversary. On the following day an immense host of spirits assembled to witness the great tight. Washiiigtoii with powdered wig and velvet trousers took his place proudly beside his cannon. Opposite stood Caesar, looking with disgust upon Wasliiiigton and his modern means of warfare. Around Caesar stood Napoleon and some personal admirers, while Wasli- ington was surrounded by a few faithful officers of the Revolution and the civil war general, U. S. Grant, who acted as his chief adviser. The signal for action was given: VVashington directed his cannon upon Caesar while the latter balanced the huge spear in his hand. The cannon was fired at the same moment that the spear left Caesar's hand. The spear passed through Wash- ington's body and fell on the ground, while the cannon-ball pierced Caesar and lost itself in the dis- tance. Although the two opponents had done their duty, nevertheless neither weapon took effect for each contestant had forgotten that the other was a spirit. Thereupon Caesar and Washingtoii shook hands and swore eternal friendship.

The latter, noticing that she was wearing mourning, was rather surprised that she had made no mention of her bereavement. It is indeed a grievous thing when a honeymoon is cut short. Finally her mistress brought up the subject You are in mourning, Maggie, she suggested. Yes, replied Maggie eomplacently, with no show of feeling at all, I thought that was the least I could do for him. It is showing no more than proper respect. Of course, I am very sorry. It certainly must have been a great shock to you. Great shock! exclaimed Maggie, in surprise Then as she grasped the idea- Oh, he ain't dead, with the accent on he . You haven't lost your husband? Maggie shook her head. Y 112 Then why are you in such deep mourning? just to please the poor lad, answered Maggie. t'You see it's this way, she went on. After we were married he came to me and said, Maggie, the poor woman never had anybody to put on mourn- ing for her, and I don't think that she has been treated rightf 'W'ho?' I asked. 'Oh my first wife,' said lie. 'Poor darling was all alone in the world except for me. There were no women folks to wear mourning for her.' So Ireplied, 'Very well, then, I will wear mourning for her, but it is very strange that you never mentioned her beforef JUNE MORRISSEY, '10.

Now l3arney's mind was a very quick little mind, and consequently his first thought was, 'KBe-jabers an' maybe he'll give me a nickelf' so he answered the stranger with, Shure, an' Oi moight foind the way there. Again, his quick mind whispered, Shure an' you'd better take him around some, er he'll think l1e's a gettin' there too quick. So Barney walked the stranger and walked him, and walked him, until finally they drew up before the O,Fl8.11l1lgI-111 resi- dence. Mrs. O'l7lannigan was standing in the door-way. When she spied the stranger, she ran to meet him and he to meet her and both seemed to be utterly oblivious of the presence of Barney who sat for- lornly down on the door-step to nurse his slighted feelings. But while he was thinking of how badly he had -114 been treated by the stranger that person appeared in the doorway and said, Sure but I forgot about you. Tell me what you want most. Harney wasted no time in idle thoughts, but answered quickly, Sure an' it's a pig, soir. A pig? the stranger said in surprise, and what do you want with a pig?,' lXf'l'oilce has a pigf said Barney. The stranger gave an understanding smile as if to say that at some time in his life he, too, had been a boy and said, XVell. bub, you shall have your pig. VVill you take it dead or alive? Barney gladly answered, 'lAlive. The next day when a wagon stopped before the humble McCarthy home with a pig in a crate, l3arney's delight knew no bounds, and when it was removed from its fastenings and gave forth ear- splitting squeals. he danced with joy and ran away to tell Moike that his pig had arrived and that it was alive.

All aboard. - VV'e are now crossing the Wabasli and Lake Erie SL XVestern tracks. The freight trains on these ---..: , 'M as A LFE.. ,-,, V5 U S 1 . it A' A 0 1.-'wt roads are renowned for the number of passengers they carry. The people of this city say that they prefer to ride in empty box-cars rather than be- tween them. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Young Men's Christian Association. This association is known all over the world for the young gentlemen it pro- duces and for a great basket-ball team on which you can put your money if you want to get rid of it. Those pieces of iron you see there, ladies and gentlemen, are the tracks for the famous Winona Traction Company. The beautiful yellow car you see coming through the mud-puddle, farther down the ditch, is the interurban car running between the large cities of Chili and Peru. If you wish to take a pleasure trip, they guarantee to take you through dead or alive. We are now speeding along the beautiful avenue for which the city is noted. The mud and water you see there has been in that same place ever since Peru has existed. In the spring Peru is a per- fect reproduction of Venice, for our streets are cov- ered with water, which flows silently onward till it reaches a sewer where it converts the cellars of our worthy citizens into swimming pools. To the right is the famous Peru High School. Yes, it is that little livery barn on the corner. It has a great many athletes in it-most of them along foot- ball lines. It has a team that plays with Chili, Mex- ico, Santa Fe, Denver, Converse and Twelve Mileg and sometimes beats them. Then there is great re- joicing. The high wood fence you see to the left is the Court-House. The large white building yonder is the contractors office, put there to stay permanently. The Court-House is not yet finished, but mathema- ticians have figured that it will be done in 1950. VVe are now approaching the Peru Public Li- brary. It is very beautiful to behold. The money to build it was given by Andrew Carnegie, 01' it would not have been erected on the beautiful lot where it now stands. are now at the end of our journey.

Her delicate, Howerlike face is fairly radiant with the light of that strongest of human ties, motherlove. Her slender figure is slightly bent and the arms are extended as if she yearned to clasp her child to her breast and folding it close, protect it from the trials and vicissitudes of the world. Both the pose and the figure itself are beautiful. beautified by a sort of spiritual beauty, which rehnement and grace of mind can exert over the body. There is a harmony in the dress and the wo- man. The long, Howiug white gown is admirably suited to her slender but rounded lines. And the head with its wealth of golden hair is placed deli- cately above the white shoulders, which the low cut of the dress reveals. Her features are refined and softened by a loolg of gentle melancholy, and the soft brown eyes gaze tenderly downward.

The real life and spirit of the institution is nowhere shown more truly or forcibly than it is in the loyal support given by the crowds of cheering students along the side lines to their comrades toiling faithfully on the gridiron. Some students do not take an active part in athletics, but all at least are interested, and a majority participate in one or more forms either in class games or on the regular High School team. In spite of the hardships sometimes brought about by the wise yet stringent rulings of the State High School Athletic Association, Peru has maintained a high standard in athletics and the various teams have made creditable showings at all times against the opposing representatives of other high schools. In foot- ball the team of the 1907 season met with only moderate success, winning and losing about the same num- ber of games: however. the members of the team were almost all new players at the beginning of the season, since most of the players of the previous season had been seniors or for other reasons did not return to school. The basket-ball team was also moderately successful but since the teams played were of the strong- est in the state, the standing of Peru in basket-ball is within the circle of the leading high schools of In- diana. In basket-ball, and in other athletics, the Peru Y. M. C. A. has been of great assistance, particularly in granting gymnasium privileges and instruction, for which the High School is duly appreciative. During the year changes in the Athletic Association have occurred in the form of a new constitution and an executive committee composed of representatives of faculty and student body. At the close of the foot-ball season the committee introduced the custom of granting athletic letters to the members of the dif- ferent athletic teams and it is hoped that the custom will continue.

GILBERT MARTIN, '09. 3 wa tt -May 1- The prospects for a baseball team at this time are good. The ,High School has some promising material, which, after a little more experience and practice nnder our new coach, C. L. Nichols, will be of championship calibre. The team this year is badly handicapped, not having any men left over who were members of past teams. Haseball is a branch of athletics that has been neglected in recent years by the High School, three years having elapsed since the school has had a team. During the past few weeks there has been regular practice, -144 which has brought out many candidates. Alfred Bergman has been elected captain of the team. Games have been scheduled with Kokomo for lVlay Znd and 9th, and with the Logansport Y. M. C. A. for the 16th and Zffrd. 'l'he probable line-up for the first game will be: llarnum, catcher: Bergman, pitcher: Stitt. short- stop: Burnett, first base: Brown, second baseg Rowe. third baseg Arnold. left fieldg G. lVlartin, cen- ter fieldg C. Smith, right Heldg Martin and Haag, substitutes.
