Dearest Margaret:- I suppose you think I never get homesick to hear from you, you naughty, frivolous Peggy. Are you aware of the fact that you owe me at least three letters? I'm the busiest B. and should at this very moment be cramming for a Greek exam. Monday instead of writing to you. I had the funniest adventure today and hardly know whether to laugh or cry when I think of it. Yesterday afternoon about 3:30 I came up from the Lab. and began studying like mad on my Trig. for next period, when into the room like a cyclone swept my adorable Fluffy and tragically handed me a special delivery letter. It was from a long-forgotten cousin of hers, George Maxwell, Jr., whom she declared she had not seen since she was a child, and had forgotten completely how he looked. She believed she had heard her mother say that he was tall, of dark complexion and rather good looking. He wrote from New York City, saying he was on his way home to Los Angeles, Cal., after spending the winter abroad, and was going to run out and see Fluffy the next day. He would come on the train that arrives here 2:10 p. m. Now, Fluffy had been studying her dear little head nearly off in order to get away to attend a house party to be given in Newport. She had in- tended to start on the 6:04 train, not to return until Tuesday. The letter consequently brought all preparations to a standstill, and she had come to me for advice. I thought hard for a. little while, and at last hit upon a plan, and I'll say right here that I never hit upon a more foolish one. That very afternoon'Miss Carter, our new French teacher Qa dear, by the wayj, had called me Miss Turpin and then apologized, saying Fluffy and I looked so much alike she got us confused. I might be Miss Turpin for IB- a few hours, go to the train and meet Mr. George, jr., bring him out to the basket ball game, show him about the college, and take him back to the sta- tion in time to catch the 5:20 train. I wasn't so stuck on the plan myself, but hated for Fluffy to miss the house party. Therefore, at one-thirty this afternoon I found myself strolling leisurely along the road to Kenelton Station. I smiled now and then, wondering what you girls would think of the B. doing such a rash thing, but consoled myself with the thought that I was about to go through all the agony for Fluffy's sake. At a turn in the road I met Miss Carter returning from the station look- ing very much disappointed. She had gone to meet her brother fa Yale manj, who had intended coming out for the game, but hadn't arrived. I tried to comfort her with the hope that he might come on the next train. She only shook her head and said that he had said if he didnlt come on this train she shouldn't expect him. It must be awfully nice to have a brother to care that much about. I did not have long to wait at the depot. Four passengers got off at Kenelton. First a woman and a little boy, then an old man, and last, but not least, a tall, dark-complexioned young man, much younger than I had expected to see. 'Here my courage gave way for a moment. I hardly knew what to do next. However, I walked up to him and said laughingly, Why, George, is it possible you didn't know me? He turned, blushed slightly, smiled, then'laughed and said, holding out his hand, I beg your pardon. I'm afraid that I'll have to admit that I didn't. After that it wasn't quite so hard. I never talked so much in one after- noon in my life, and that's saying a great deal. Once I ventured to ask him how Aunt Lula was. I was sure Fluffy had called her that. He said he believed I 'must have made a mistake. fPeggy, it was dreadful.j I assured him, however, that of course I didn't 'mean Aunt Lula, but his mother. He said she was quite well. Two or three times during the afternoon he looked at me strangely as if he wanted to say something, but I didn't give him a chance fpoor fellowj. I was so afraid- he was going to ask me about the family I knew nothing about. He seemed to enjoy the outdoor basket ball game. It was a grand one, grander still because We won. It was right after the game that I excused myself a minute to run over and give Helen a good, hard squeeze for that last sidelong fling of the ball that brought it home in the basket. Returning, I saw him leaning against an elm tree, gazing at somebody coming up the walk, and even as I looked a little figure in white came running up to him. It did not take a second glance to tell me it was Miss Carter. She held out her hand and said, Why, George Carter, you naughty brother, where were you during the game? I didn't see you. -I1 V-. ---yi 1-vviwv Y iv.----if -v .7 v. ,Y -W iv This was too much for the B. I made one dash for the dormitory. On my table lay a telegram addressed to Fluffy. I knew it was from that horrid cousin of hers, so I tore it open and read as follows: Sorry to disappoint you. Was detained in city on business. Will leave tonight for Cal. GEORGE MAXWELL, JR. Of course it was all plain enough now. I had merely gotten hold of the wrong fellow, whose name happened to be George. I don't know what the moral to this is unless, B's sometimes get stung themselves, look out if you're a Bee. Well, Peggy, I must get to work on that Greek. Now, some of these nice days, when you are sitting in the old upper assembly, with nothing much to do, just put aside your books and write a nice, long letter to your honey, B. ., ' Iifqg 1. if B ' . .I ,I- .N-...gn I Nels. 40,1 - .swixaef-S 5, 2' senses: ' ' ,v.

Obeying the summons, he speedily made his way to the great hall where that dignified body had convened for the purpose of investigating the character of all new arrivals in the Land of Spirits. Trembling with fear and wonder, he entered the hall, where, to his great amazement, he found a vast assemblage of spirits, who seemed to be deriving much amusement from the discomfort of one unfortunate apparition, who was being closely questioned as to some of his actions in the realm of living men. As all the benches in the room were occupied, Franklin remained standing near the door, carefully watching the progress of the trial. His sympathy went out to the man who was being harshly criticized by the presiding officer of the court. Presently the judge pronounced a severe sentence upon the man, who evidently had been found guilty of gross misdemeanors committed during his earthly existence. A great silence reigned over the court room as the judgment was delivered and continued until, to the profound awe of Frank- lin, the clerk of the court announced that the author of Poor Richardl' was the next individual to be examined by the Great Council of Inquisition. Amid great commotion of shuffling feet and craning necks Franklin made his way to the front, led by a police officer. As soon as he reached the stand he was introduced by the clerk as Benjamin Franklin, the individual against whom have been lodged divers charges of conduct unbecoming a citizen of the common wealth of Pennsylvania and the American Colonies. Bewildered by the greeting, Franklin turned a questioning glance to the judge, who thereupon gave in a very deliberate manner the specific com- plaints. You are charged, sir, with a violation of the rules of etiquette, committed upon the streets of Philadelphia, when, without regard for the laws of decency and good behavior, you had the audacity to walk down the principal street of the city gulping in a greedy manner three rolls of bread. Do you realize that, as a man worthy of the privilege of walking along the principal streets of that important city, you should have refrained from such -19 --w ,.. --1 Y W? -' - -.15--1-r --vw' a-iw a demonstration of greediness and ardent desire-a very undignified action, to be sure. Franklin immediately responded that he considered such action on his part fully justified by the hunger from which he had been suffering at that time. But his protests were of no avail, for the judge gruffly announced the sentence for the offense, saying, Since you have been found guilty of such an outrage against society, you shall be duly punished by being denied the liberty of eating anything for forty-seven years. With his face filled with horror, Franklin started from his seat, only to be met with the rebuke ,of the judge, who calmly spoke, Constrain yourself, sir, for there is still another serious charge against you. This consists of action wholly alien to an American citizen and befitting only an ignorant, uncivilized Chinamanf' I protest, your honor, to any such charge. It is false. I never com- mitted such a crime in my whole life, and if you are the spirit remains of a human, I implore you to cease from so impeaching my honor, which I always carefully defended while on earth? Franklin spoke with passion. Sir! replied the judge. How can you deny such a truthful charge when the facts have been sworn to by respectable spirits, formerly spirits of Philadelphia? Do you mean to say that you have forgotten all about that improper action of yours on the occasion when you indulged in the childish and Oriental pastime of flying a kite, and that, too, at a time when any sen- sible man would desire to be sheltered from the thunder-storm? You are again adjudged guilty and sentenced to the penalty of having your 'Poor Richard's Almanac' quoted by people all over the world.

PM Malia2e2ilfllWl4..,l.H,.l MP There is an old adage which says, All things come to those who wait, Qif they but wait long enoughj and so it was with the Peru High School. We looked forward to the building of it for years, and our new High School was ready for dedication The day set aside for this great event dawned clear and bright, not a cloud was in the sky to mar its perfect beauty. But how could the sun refuse to shine when it was to be such a gala day in the city of Peru, and one to which we had looked forward so many years? ' By noon the streets were thronged with people, mostly Alumni, who were impatiently waiting to see the interior of the beautiful structure, which was to replace the High School of former years. Our minds had often pictured what this structure would be like, but our most ardent imagination had not prepared us for the magnificent edifice which was now completed. The exterior of the building was of the World- reputed Bedford stone. At the entrance was a Gothic arch, whose archi- tecture had been sculptured by the most renowned men. The floors and pillars on the interior were made of marble, while the desks and other wood- work was of solid mahogany. The finest pictures which could be purchased adorned the wallsg rare masterpieces of early artists. Seated upon the platform in the upper assembly, where the exercises were to be held, the honorary School Board, grown a little older perhaps with the cares and responsibilities of building the new High School, the pla-cid smiling of the teachers and professors, looking not one day older CPD than when, in the old building, they used to wrestle with the different classes. Behind these were the schoolmates and friends whose faces had grown more serious as each had taken up the battles of life for himself. The speaker of the day was our worthy Superintendent, whose address of eloquence was heartily encored. I was just enjoying the encore when a tap on my shoulder awakened me. I looked up to hear the pleasant voice CPD of a professor admonishing me to get to work. Upon looking around I found myself in the upper assembly, with the cedar desks and bare walls. The new High School was only a dream. -21 ,..,..- A- .1,,--A ...A A - m-' ' '-'hL 1' 4 ,.,,,,h v , , ..

I asked, looking over my paper. Bridget is going, answered Beth dismally. We had been flat keeping only a little over a year and during all that time had suffered from a malignant attack of maid, Twenty-two varieties had come with a smile from the office and after a few days, stay in our kitchen four record was three weeks and four daysj had departed with a sulky Good-bye, Mum. Well, what are we to do ?', I asked after a solemn silence. I'm sure I don't know, sighed Beth, rolling a cushion and sticking it under her elbow. Do you think, dear, you manage the maids just right? Manage them? I manage them just like Nell Parker manages hers. I don't manage them at all. They won't be managed. I get down on my knees to them, wade through dust and answer the bell half of the time myself. They get their afternoons off and Sunday evenings, too, you know we always get tea ourselves. Well, it can't be my fault, Beth. I seldom see themf, And then, seeing she was hurt, I added: It's nobody's fault, just hard luck, Beth. We must do something today. What do you say to my trying to find a maid F The news office was closed, but I found the manager and got the ad- dress ofa maid he said was just the kind we wanted. She was a hardy look- ing woman of about thirty-five, who after several of the regular questions, such as Have you any children ? and Do you keep a dog? consented to come. Beth met us at the door and after turning over my find I went into the library to read. How do you like the new maid ? I asked Beth as she came into the room just before lunch. 22- -0-, 4 , 4. i. A - A., - Alma... W.- M. . irq..-l. She'll do, but she certainly is queer. She's not going? I asked in alarm. No, but she has all the symptoms. She seemed pleasant enough when I told her about the work. Then I took her to her room. When I went into the kitchen just now she looked very persimmonyf' It's your imagination, I suggested, it's her way. Yes, and it's been the way with twenty-two of them, said Beth. That afternoon we took a long walk in the park to get up our appetites. We came home through the cold, brisk twilight, anxious for our dinner, and looking forward to a quiet, comfortable evening. I wonder why Kate hasn't lighted the gas, observed Beth, as we en- tered the hall. I suppose she has been busy with the turkey. Beth went back to see how the dinner was progressing and a moment later I heard her frantically calling: Ned, Ned, come here quick. What's the matter? I shouted, running down the hall. Kate's left. Read this. She handed me a piece of paper. This place doesn't suit. Beth, we are bewitchedg there is a spook somewhere. I'm going to investigate. I took a candle and examined the dumbwaiter, but there was nothing spooky about the kitchen. The door of the servant's room was open and in- side everything was orderly. I looked in the closet and finding nothing wrong, was about to depart, when some writing on the under side of the shelf attracted my attention. Holding the candle so that I could get a good light and with Beth looking over my shoulder, I read this warning to domestics: The Missis is fair. The master wears six pairs of cuffs a week and kicks if they ain't stiff. Better git. Jane O'Holligan. There's our spook, I said. V .Q .. ,A, A...-.........- .4.- -.A.

Fame hands not out her laurels true To him who simply stands And gazes idly upwards long, With idle outstretched hands. No!

I was told of this incident by a group of High School girls, who, in the Autumn, went into the woods to study nature. I could scarcely believe it, for things of that sort seldom happen nowadays, but they were so positive it was true that I was almost convinced. As they were roaming about, talking very earnestly of school work, cred- its and teachers, they heard a bird singing a song of peculiar sweetness. Mary suddenly exclaimed, Listen, what was that? The bird's song had changed and now it seemed to be singing, It is for you, it is for you. How strange that a bird should speak! I wonder where it is? said Edith. But hark! it is continuing its song. Not for me, not for me, sang the bird. Oh, girls, this is the strangest thing I ever heard of, cried Nellie. Let us hunt for it. But before they had gone far it trilled, To make haste, to make haste. What do you suppose it means? exclaimed Hazel. Well, weire sure we don't know, chorused the girls. But listen to it again. To help boost the Annual, finished the bird triumphantly. How do you suppose the bird knew how little we've done? they ques- tioned each other. I am ashamed of myself, but I haven't done one thing to help, volun- teered one girl. I've dropped one joke in the Annual Box, said Gladys. They agreed that if even the birds knew how little they had done they had better get to work. And they did. They were so enthusiastic them- selves that the fever spread and the consequences were that they had the best Annual that had ever been published. -25 - t....,f- ..A.s f 1-1--'-a-Q-bf---- ...,..n-11p-4-:I-.A-,4'.., ..., 77J 7 TUV W 55'in vj I rigs, E311 We Qi :TVA 'X' ll 9' 4 ' X fi ' 1 1-f2.'i4T'1'-in-'Q lid 9 ' ff ' ?i'i. .. .

A 4 In England there stood an old church, whose belfry towered toward the heavens. In the top of the belfry hung a huge old bell, which in ancient times was rung on every Christmas, but now the pigeons and other birds far and near had sought this place for their home. Many years had passed since the sound of this bell had been heard over the country. It had been said that when a great offering would be made to God that bell would be heard once more. So on Christmas eve thousands of people gathered at the old church to lay their offerings on the altar. Far from the church lived two small boys, who had no father, and whose mother was very poor. One of the boys was lame and had to walk with crutches. At eve the two boys stole away from home and walked through the deep snow toward the old church, although they only had a penny apiece. They crept on and on till in sight of the church, when the crippled brother gave out. His brother made a place for him along an old fence, where he could keep warm, while he took the two pennies as an offering. The king went up and laid his crown upon the altar, but still the bell did not ring. Others laid large sums of money on the altar, but still the bell did not ring. The poor little ragged boy crept slowly down the aisle, past the king, and laid his two pennies on the altar beside that of the king. just then the bell once more gave forth a melodious sound, which had never been heard before. The little crippled boy heard the sound and as he looked toward Heaven he said, It is the small offering given with a pure heard that God wishes. 7- 26- -..-. ..-A Ld...-.g.4Q.qgi-A-111.4-........

Concentration of thought is so essential to an artist, you know. I am getting this painting out for Mrs. Riches in two daysg think of it! Now, don't you think I need a little more blue in this sky? Oh, you don't! Well, speaking plainly, my dear, you haven't any eye for beauty. Now, my dear, what you need to do is to study colors and nature and get your eye trained to beauty. There is nothing like good wholesome beauty to an artistg but as you are not an artist, of course you can't appre- ciate it. Whiat! you think an artist would have a neater room. No, decidedly no. I should call this a typical type of the successful, careless artist's room. There are my first paintings on the wall, and magazines, papers, costumes, a tea table, vase and furniture, all thrown together to make the desired artis- tic effect. An artist, you know, must have everything at his hand or he will forget the color and markings he is giving to a picture. Must you be going? Well, just what did you want with me? Oh! about that little sketch of yours. I am very sorry, but you can see for your- self that I simply haven't time to talk to you, so you will have to come back some time when I have less to do. Oh, yes! Good-bye, dear. ilgxxivrff ' I -' gives '-P tc .G1 'u A Vast-wvwrt I Xl j l ' -21 .. -..,..,, 1 .ga-l-..

Qui, quae, quod, said Margaret over and over again, as she sat in a large, comfortable chair in her father's library. She was studying for a Latin examination on the following day. It was the last of the term and she was very anxious to get a good grade, because her father had promised if she stood at the head of the class that term he would take her to California dur- ing the vacation. Soon her mind began to wander and she could not keep her thoughts on her lesson. Now she is taking her examination. Her pencil could be heard moving swiftly over the paper. Presently it stopped. She had come to the last question, but she did not know it. She studied awhile, then she watched the girl who was across from her write. Margaret saw that a paper with the question answered was lying toward her. It was a great temptation, and she thought how disappointed she would be if she didnit get to take her trip. So she glanced at her neighbor's paper and got started on the answer, and then she was all right. She took her paper to the teacher, who said, I hope, Margaret, that you have done well, for you have been very faithful and deserve a good grade. , Again she is in the library at home, when a little, black, ugly bug ap- pears on the arm of her chair. Oh! What are you doing here, you nasty thing l she exclaimed. I'm your conscience, said the bug, and it is your fault I am black and ugly. Before you cheated this afternoon in school I was nice and white. But how did you know I cheated. I thought no one saw me? said Margaret. I have always been with you, and it is my business to tell you when you have done wrong. If you will repent and say you are sorry I will become white again. He seemed so sorry about it that Margaret began to feel terrible. She said she was sorry and that she would go and tell the teacher right away. It would be a dreadful humiliation, because all the school would know about it. But she said she would do it at any cost. The little bug began to turn white, and finally it stood out large and pure white. She awoke with a start, for the supper-bell had rung, and there stood her father in the doorway, having come to hunt her. There was her Latin book on her lap just where she had left off studying when her thoughts wan- dered away. - as p f. f - i H fr gfwgpn' l 5 Afg3 5. 1.m.r,. -,f i V: 1. 11 .awc 1 i p I N ., 49 - av L 1-Aj :v'.4--yfi-iii: i f J 3 A 47' ., .44 l Kwss .ie ' GwQfiNf2f ?i f'l -ff'2'Ef Q X15S.lli'vV i , . f G f r 1 ,,:1v?:1g: QI.

But now she had con- sented to make him happy. The day for the wedding was set and their plans for the future were made. After a very quiet wedding the Vicar of Wakefield officiating, they took a wedding trip from Milton to Tennyson. Silas had purchased the House of the Seven Gables from the Merchant of Venice and they were going to live there with Julius Caesar and Adam Bede as neighbors.

It stood on a prominent corner, Away from the noisy strife, Where pupils could read and study And dream of greatness in life. It possessed no broken windows, No marred or disfigured walls, But a stately, grand, new building, Beside our city hall. It boasted of lawns and winding walks, And also of greater Parks,,' Where pupils after teachers' talks Could go for a few good larks. Its colored domes and windows, Its grand old oaken stairs, With recitation rooms equipped With line, old, comfortable chairs. A grand and cozy library, A gym, for basket ball, A music room, where students Would flock at Fisher's call. A spacious room for Chemistry, And one for Physics, too, With bottles bright and shining, And everything just new. L. A-.mn ssss so J No leaking ceiling, where the drops Come in a social pour, A frescoed ceiling takes its place, We see it rain no more. No dingy paper on the walls, In streaks of red and white, Blue frescoed walls have come to us, We're thankful for the sight. No pictures hanging crooked Upon the dingy wallsg No pendant from the faithful clocks Disappear most every fall. No partly frosted windows But blinds most neatly drawn, To keep the anxious pupil's eye From off the spacious lawn. In the assembly all is quiet, The pupils study, toog For when they look up they behold Things pleasant to their view. A large and spacious banquet hall, For toasts and banquets due, Let's stop awhile and give a toast To the High School of Peru. Here's to our grand new High School, May she ever win in strifeg Here's to the Peru High School, Whom we owe our fame in life. In storms or sunny weather, May ever her motto rule, Though old acquaintance be forgotten, Here's to Peru High School. A distant bell caused my wakingg I found it was only a dream, When glancing at my dim surroundings I found things not what they seemed. As I sit and dream in the lamp light, As its radiance shines thro' my den, I think of the famous adage, I wish that it might have been.

Tom was the glory of the 'Varsity, not because of his brains, but his ability as an athlete. Yes, Tom could run like-well, there was nothing in the other 'Varsities that could run like he, and that's description enough. He wasn't strong in books, but rest assured that he had all the coaching he could stand, and we just shouldered and carried him thro' everything. Nobody ever knew such a dear fellow-not a stiff, you know, but so pleased and grateful for everything that was done for him, and equally quick to see and do for the other fellows. Well, jim Cheswick took a house party down to his home at Taunton after commencement-just a half-dozen of us-and he coaxed Tom to go along. We had all met his sister Merree, a stunning girl, and we were all mad over her except Tom. He never cared for girls. Merree had invited some of her classmates from school, and we made up a jolly bunch. Tom didn't seem to quite enter into the spirit of the thing. He was the best fellow among us, but no entertaining by the girls for him. A few mornings after we were there Tom came in to breakfast with a wonderful glow on his face. Somebody asked where he got it, and Tom claimed it was the reflection of a pink saucer. Jim was of a different opin- ion and later told us he bet Tom had been sprinting on father's quarter-mile track. So we all decided to get up early next morning and catch Tom at his beloved pastime. We were all up and on our way to the quarter-mile track by 5 o'clock the next morning. As we cautiously approached the barn we saw some of Tom's clothes lying in the big doorway, and a moment later as we turned the corner there was Tom himself in his track suit, with a blanket over his shoulders, just stepping onto the track. He was a good deal cut up when he saw us, but was too much of a gentleman to show much chagrin. We all begged him to run for us, but he stoutly refused, until Merree made. a ' -as , ,YH ,Y - , ,,,,, .r.,. Y 7, . personal matter of it. He tossed the blanket to one side. I took my watch out and then-and then a dreadful thing happened. Lawrence had been smoking a cigar and he must have thrown it down half smoked near where Merree was standing. She had on some kind of fluffy toggins and looked simply stunning, standing there eagerly watching Tom. The first thing we knew one of the girls screamed and we saw Merree all allame. Then she screamed, too, and ran like one mad, the flames leaping all over her. Tom snatched up the blanket and in a few strides caught her and, thrust- ing her down on the grass, rolled her over and over, beating the fire in her hair with his bare hands. He had the fire out in less time than it takes 'me to tell it. For God's sake I he shouted, where's the doctor? Half-mile down the road, gasped Jim. Before the last word was fairly out Tom was gone, running at top speed. I saw his great race with Ambrose, a college crack, but he never ran like that. 1 The doctor afterwards told us that when Tom came into the yard that morning he thought he had a circus lunatic to deal with. Tom had gasped out his errand and the doctor, seeing his terribly burned hands, had given him a bottle of stuff for them. Tom beat the doctor, who came in his buggy, back and cried. That's for burns. Then he pitched headlong on his face. The doctor had two patients when he arrived. We had to half carry Tom to his room when his hands were at once bound up. Next morning we learned that Merree's burns were not serious and that her face was untouched, thanks to the circus lunatic, said the doctor, and that Tom, with the exception of his bandaged hands, was all right. The doctor kept Merree pretty quiet all morning, but in the afternoon we all went in to see her for a minute except Tom. He said it would be a shame to take his liniment-smelling bandages into a. sick room. When we came out I told how beautiful Merree looked all propped up with pillows, and also noticed how Tomis eyes glistened, but I did not know what it meant. Jim lingered behind in the room and Merree called him. He asked if she wanted anything, he afterward told us. Yes, dear. Jim said she hadn't called him dear for years. Is it a drink? She shook her head. Did she want to see the fellows? No? What then? You know what I want, jim. Jim Wasn't the brightest fellow at the 'Varsity, but he knew what she meant. Sis wants to see you, he said to Tom, who tried to make his hands an excuse, but jim stopped him with, Is that the way to treat a lady's request ? Tom went. 34- ,mil ' f :I 4 5 x .. 'WW ' D ..

Four years have passed with stately tread, Four years, we watched them slowly pass The years may roll, youill ne'er hear said The equal of the '09 class. 'Twas work and work, no time to loseg Those tasks so hard, seemed ne'er to ease. We did our best, we could not choose, And then our task did soon decrease. We know we had our pleasures, true, But to ourselves we can't forget That often trouble came to brew Our path of joy and hope beset. We passed some moments anxiously, With worry, frets and doubtful daysg But always found these times to be Some good for us in many ways. We leave our school with sad farewell, And here with pain our paths divideg Our schoolmates in success to dwell, While we must face the world so wide. Life's struggle only here begins, Our path through life 8. foggy mistg Beyond this mist the goal that wins, Is shining there for us, sun-kissed. The star of victory shines there, With every step that goal draws near, So, schoolmates, iight, and ne'er despair, Success is ours though cost is dear. Once more we bid a fond farewell To our successors, schoolmates true, The faculty that helped so well, And last, the janitor comes, too. -Peter A Damico O9 The Prophesy of the Class of '09 QU One pleasant afternoon this spring I was sitting on the lawn idly watch- ing the passers-by who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the fresh spring air. I had not remained long, however, in my reverie until a book agent thrust himself before me. Now, if there is anything on this earth I hate it is a book agent. Before I was aware of the fact, however, he had his book open and had commenced to read. I turned to tell him to please go im- mediately when I heard him mention the name of John Gilbert Martin. I at once recognized the name of one of my fellow class mates of '09, I listened intently and found that he had become a very noted man. After he left the P. H. S. he attended Harvard College. While there he passed through that ordeal which most college students experience, namely, hazing. After leaving college he became editor of a great paper in New York City and became very wealthy. Before I could collect my thoughts to say a word the book agent had gone on to another very familiar name. It was no other than that of Jennie M. Long. This noble P. I-I. S. girl had acquired great honors in the United States and also in the old country as organist. She was one of the finest in the world and all the grand singers wished to have her as their accom- panist. After refusing a great many offers, however, she decided to take that part with Ambler Garnett, the well-known tenor soloist. Next was an account of probably the most noted of the class of '09, President Paul B. Schieps. After leaving high school in '09, during which year he served that class as honored president Qand how well we remember his great worksj, he went on and on to higher honors until 1924, when he capped the climax by becoming President of the United States. Soon after he finished college he was married to George Anna Wilson, a class mate of '09, Although we have heard that she had a disappointment in love in her younger days, we know that she was well worthy of such an honorable husband. I might say that this account was accompanied by a beautiful picture of the President and his wife which no one could help 'but recognize even though they had not seen them for years. Next came the noted artist, Miss Beulah Ausfahl. This young lady, while still in college, became such a favorite that she was compelled to stop school in order to supply the great demand for her wonderful drawings which were greatly prized all over the world. She has a studio in South Peru-close to the school house--at present. Ada York was another of this Class of ,09 who became well known. She became a nurse and her name is much honored in that field of Work. 50- ?1 l- --- -.L l 1 The next to enter the doors of Fame was Edna Opp, who made herself known as one of the best Latin teachers of the continent. She made a speci- alty of this in Bunker Hill, Indiana, for a great many years, and while here she stayed with Mr. Myr Deal and family. Mr. Deal, as well as his wife, nee Miss Hazel Long, were both class mates of Miss Opp's. After a great many trials of town life and business Mr. Deal finally decided that to make a success he must move on a farm. It was while here that Miss Opp resided with the family. Next to acquire distinction were Misses Alice Reyburn, Gladys Shad- inger and Beatrice Welsch, who became the best trio in the United States. Lorenzo Doud, the noted pianist, accompanied them and also did a specialty stunt on the clarinet. Probably one of the best known men in the automobile world was also a member of that wonderful class-Mr. Louis H. Bowser. From his early school days he had a great liking for automobiles and never seemed happy unless at the wheel of a good car. Although Mr. Bowser was very kind, when a young man, to take all the girls driving in his cars, yet there was one of whom all the girls were very envious. This was no other than Ade- line Ream, much better known to her school friends as Pat, We see that this liking developed into love and after Mr. Bowser became president of probably the largest auto factory in the middle west he went back to Peru for a visit, during which Pat and Bowser,' were made one. The country school teachers who became noted from this class were Chloe Cunningham and Mary Charters, Miss Cunningham teaching in her home town of Chili, and Miss Charters in the grammar department at Ben- netts Switch. . The great poet, Peter A. Damico, has the honor of belonging to the '09 class. His works are known all over the continent as those of P. A. D. Although his poems are wonderful it is not only in these that he has gained honor but also in his jokes Some will probably be surprised to learn that the fashion model for New York styles is no other than Miss Margaret Johnson. Her wonderful styles are so well known that one of the finest gowns ever made was named the Margaret. ' The famous O'Brian Select School for Young Ladies was founded by Miss Agnes O'Brian, who here found her natural calling. While there were not many of this class to lose their health from over- study, there was one who was compelled to go West soon after being gradu- ated in order to regain his strength. He tried different kinds of work on first reaching the West but he couldn't get away from his old habit of hard study, so he was compelled to lay aside all kinds of labor. The last heard of Mr. George Rhineberger he was a cowboy on a large ranch owned -51 'N by Paul Hostetler. Mr. Hostetler himself, however, was a professor and had the ranch for a place of quiet where he could rest after a hard day's toil of training half a score of little Indians the customs of civilized people. Fannie Fry, after attending business college for four years, became a good stenographer. She worked for years for the Selkman 81 Sons refriger- ator factory, which was owned by Mr. Lloyd Selkman and his sons. Mr. Selkman began working in a refrigerator factory before he had finished high school and from that time he had gone on and on until he became owner of the factory which bears his name. n It would be impossible for a class so noted as the one of '09 to exist without an orator. This oiiice was filled by Mr. Everly Hoover, the well- known political speaker, one of the finest orators ever sent out from the State University. George E. Stratemeyer also may be classed with the speakers. This young man has done a great deal toward the establishment of women's rights. He has toured the country for years speaking on woman suffrage. He is greatly looked up to by all women for the woman suffrage movement of 1920 is greatly due to his speeches. Probably the only one of the class to marry outside of her own class was Miss Florence Johnston. And so it is only necessary to say that she married well and is living on a farm south of Peru. Miss Grace Lee is the hair dresser of the society ladies of Macy, and is very well liked by her customers. It is said that one lady liked her so well that she took her to her home in order that she might meet her son. It see-ms that the son must have had some ideas like the mother for a short time ago the engagement of Miss Grace Lee and Mr. Earl Rush was announced. Miss Katherine Kenny was- another of the fair maidens of this class who had a very exciting career, for after travelling a great while in the old country with Miss Adele Fuller, one of the famous instructors of this hon- orable class, Miss Kenny fell desperately in love with a duke. They were engaged only a short time when, just before the wedding was to have taken place, he became ill and died. It seems that Miss Kenny must have been greatly grieved for nothing has been heard of her since. K QQA' Miss Edith Nelp is known wherever she goes as the wonderful organist. Her fame, however, all lies in the playing of the old, old songs, such as Old Black joe and O Where, O Where Has My Little Dog Gone ? ' Another of the well-known men of this class is the Rev. Gordon Smith, who is now travelling in Billy Sunday's place. Ethel de Cunningham and Nellie von Murphy are travelling with the Wallace Circus as two of the finest equestrians. It will 'be remembered that 52- while yet in school Miss Murphy had occasion to show her skillful man- agement of horses. Strange to say there is only one doctor out of this large class of students. This is Harry R. Groat, M. D., the surgeon who has lately discovered the missing link between monkey and man. The wonderful Mausalene hat was named after that noted trimmer, Miss Mausalene Leedy. This young lady has made one of the most famous hats of centuries, called by her name. Undoubtedly the most brilliant of teachers, who makes a specialty of English is Prof. Florence McCaffrey. This is probably not a surprise to any of his class mates for they can remember that the one thing he never did in English was to stall. Miss Katie Pollock soon after finishing high school was compelled to go south for her health. And as she has to travel all the time she has be- come a physical culture teacher, gaining great honors in that field of work. The great comedian of this country is Leo Hay. He travels with the best comic opera on the road, The Faculty, of which he is the author. The one to receive honors next to the President is Judge T illett. He is one of the best, if not the best, judge ever in the Supreme Court of our land. Before him all the important cases are held. And it is said that he sometimes boasts that not yet has he had to try one of his class mates, which he says sounds pretty good for one of the largest classes of the P. H. S. There is one more member of this class, but as she has never gained any honor for the class it is sufficient to mention the name of FLOSSIE MONIQUE ADAMS. -S3 Ark--rr - A' Y -f-A ---.-rv'-n--t-nl--A CLASS SONG Farewell. Farewell, bright Juniors! Success to you, The Good Spirit will guide thee all true, Soon we shall part, our paths must divide: Our paths must divide. The sunny past we'll cherish still, While climbing up Life's rugged hill, Never forgetting the days gone by, The days gone by. Whose hours did all too quickly Hy, Whose hours did all too quickly fly. Farewell, Oh juniors! With regrets we part, With deep reluctance and aching heart. May glory, ambition, fame yours still be, Fame yours still be. Your hopes not vain, your friends all true, Life holds but peace and love for you, Bright be your pathway with Life's fair flowers, With Life's fair flowers. Joy-laden be Life's golden hours, Joy-laden be Life's golden hours. Farewell, kind Juniors! Though on Life's sea, Swift glides our bark so fearless and free, Still we may ride, no dangers we'll fear, No dangers we'll fear. With hope that shineth like a star, And naught of doubt our joys to mar, Glad be our voyage till day is past, Till day is past. Heaven be our port at last, Heaven be our port at last. PETER A.

For three years the Juniors of today have been bravely and proudly pushing forward, looking to the time when they will fill the ranks of the noble Seniors. As Freshmen and Sophomores this class was unusually brilliant, attractive and stubborn, and this year-well, it speaks for itself. Of course, if there is any fun to be had, this class has it, any Work to be done, this class does it, or any trouble to get into, this class is sure to be in it. True, there would be no foot ball or basket ball team in the dear old P. H. S. if it were not for this class, as most of the men, especially the good ones, are furnished by it. There are also many excellent artists, who are the pride of their class, and by far the most distinguished of the school. They stand out far above the rest as an example and inspiration to their fellow students. This illustrious class has chosen as its motto, Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimusf' as its colors, Maroon and White, and as its flower, Red Rose. May our class not decrease in number, and when at the close of another school year we stand on the threshold of life, may it be with a firm and steady aim never failing to grasp each and every opportunity.

Sophomore Class History Q To rise in life a beginning must be made, so we, of the Class of 1911, began our High School career as Freshmen. During our first year we worked diligently and, as a sailor would say, we were learning the ropes, and prepared ourselves for the Sophomore year. But now, as Sophomores, we have endeavored to rise higher on the ladder of life. Our success has been encouraging, for, from being verdant green Freshmen, we have risen to be among the leaders of the P. H. S. 'flgnorance is blissy' is an old saying which implies that knowledge is not bliss, but be that as it may, we are not of the sorrowful kind. Having done our duty to others, especially to the facultyC?j in kind acts and deeds, we have a lightness of heart which makes us gay even with our vast learning. Our class motto, 'KNothing without labor or in Latin Nihil sine la- bore, has been tried and not found wanting, for, so far, in all High School experiences, we have found nothing without labor. And considering the labor we have applied to some of our work, we surely have accomplished something. In athletics the Sophomore class has proved itself capable of doing things. The class put forth a basket ball team which was never beaten, and also set the precedent of playing out-of-town class-games. In base ball the prospects are also bright. No doubt, if the class but lives up to its motto, the graduating class of 1911 will be the best and, from present indications, the largest that has ever left the doors of the Peru High School. So let us drink to the health of the Class of 1911, and in the words of Rip van Winkle, May they live long and prosper. Q!

That announced the arrival of a famous class at the Peru High School, September 7, 1908. Yes, the first glimpse of a new life came to us then, and at that time, too, the upper classes were privileged to look upon our countenances for the first time. My, how pleased every- one was! We were young and timid, entering upon this new life with all the doubts and fears of the inexperienced. This was an important occasion, one that we felt could never be equaled. But, behold, greater and even more important things were in store for us. It was in November that, under the guidance of our principal and the protection of the Sophomores, we found ourselves an organized body. We choose for our colors Yale Blue and VVhite. Although we have grown to be a strong class, the modest violet represents us well. When, after three years of mingled work and play, we have become Seniors and have gained the heights of our ambitions we will not forget our Freshman motto, Learning by study must be won, 'Twas never entailed from sire to son. HISTORIAN, 1912. 'X Q22 -67 I- 1-J Class Poem E.. We are loyal Freshmen, eighty strong, To the Peru High School we belong, We came here one autumn day And We'll stay till late in May, Then with honors all our way We will go.

We expect to faithful be to old Peru, So when in 1912 we say adieu, We'll be welcomed as we comeg For Alumni ne'er will shun Those whose Work has beenawell done While in school.

The fullness of the joy of living belongs only to those whose physical being is pulsating with controlled en- ergy. f'Rejoicing as a strong man to run a race should express the normal con- dition of every Well developed man. In this We find, not only the excuse, but the necessity for athletic sports in the High School. Nothing is more necessary to successful living than health, initiative, conhdence and determination and noth- ing in the curriculum of studies can give these e0 well as athletic sports properly carried on. Certainly nothcng else can so Well unify the school spirit, the loyalty, that in later years will be the most cherished recollection of school life. The athletic year just past has been successful-probably as successful as any in the history of the school. The teams representing the school have Won a majority of the games with other scifools and the men making up the teams have won the respect of their ofwjvjgzcuts, not only b y their prowess on the field or H-oor, butalso by their sportsmanlike conduct Whether in victory or defeat. Our athletic relations with other schools are, as a result, of the most amicable nature. The support accorded the teams might well be much more satisfactory. The financial condition of the Athletic Association has never been better than precarious and the burden of supporting the teams has fallen too heavily upon the few whose enthusiasm has led them to assume the responsibility. Better support from the business and professional men and particularly from the Alumni would do much to improve the situation and should be diligently sought.

H. S. FOOT BA TH I Foot Ball Review , 5 The foot ball season of 1908 was beyond a doubt the best season Peru High School has ever had. Although all the games were not won, yet out of six played only one was lost, and that to a team much heavier and better coached, while the three tie games during the season were practically victories. The work of the team was indeed great as is shown by the fact that four of the six teams played out-weighed our team on an average of twenty pounds to the mang yet with the excellent field-generalship of Horan at the pivot position, the line plunging of Brainard and McCaffrey, and the kicking of Stratemeyer in the back-field, the defensive and offensive work of such ends as Howard and Law- rence, the stolid wall-like resistance of Barnum, Tillett, Bowser, Rowe and Garnett on the line, and last but not least, with such substitutes as Monesmith, Hammond, Sweet, Ray, Gustin and Jenkins to fill the ranks of the missing, the great odds were overcome. Inded I am sure we will all vie with one another in singing the praises of the team of 1908 and those men who helped make that team who are now leaving, Stratemeyer, Garnett, McCaffrey, Tillett and Bowser.

At the first of the season the line-up could not be fully decided upon and several shifts were made before a winning team was selected. This year's team, which won four out of nine games played, was one of the two teams that defeated the strong Kokomo High School team. Peru lost only one game on their own floor. The chief cause for the defeats away from home was that most of the Hoors of other teams were very small while the home floor was of regulation size. The team played in hard luck all year, but the day is not far distant when the Peru High School basket ball teams will be among the strongest, if not the strongest in the State. Mr. Coughlin, our pro- Hcient coach, will have six letter men from which to pick next year's team, so all watch Peru in the future.

The prospects for a winning base ball team were brightened by the first game. Although the team was defeated by the score of 3 to 2, it was not the true story of the game. The home team out-classed Greentown at every stage of the game, but lost on a few lucky hits in the ninth frame, which, owing to the inefficiency of our out-field Qthe weak spot in our teamj, were not fielded properly and re- sulted in a defeat. The work of the infield was superb. We were handicapped also by the weather in getting practice. ' We trust and hope that we will have better luck the rest of the season, and thus be able to add a string of victories to our credit. Rows, '1O. fb J 7 I ,,' - l 1 I 1 r Bl- P. H. S.

But his brave and manly efforts Could not avert the clash. He spoke but got no answer He thought the girl Was dead But soon he saw that Nellie Was alive and well instead.

So 'junky' thought he'd ask a dame To make things go just right. He asked a week beforehand So he would sure be there, But on the day the event occurred, Who was this maiden fair? He hunted and he hunted And scraped his memory good, To think of her, he'd asked to go He could not, though he would. He grew so very nervous He got the boys to go, And find the lovely maiden Whom he had asked to go. They hinted and they found her To Junky this seemed kind, But the next time Junky you make a date Please keep the girl in mind. Craig Redmon- Would that this too-too solid flesh would melt. --9 P. H.

A. our thoughts to style. But now We need no longer stray From this old school in long decay. That we may prove that Miss Barnett Though least in size, is largest yet. And also do we disagree, With anyone, though he or she, Who haughtily before us stands And smiling Fuller, reprimands. Last comes a man who should be first. If oiiice high and brain well versed Makes superintendent better than A common ordinary man. Now plain you see that P. H. S. Has claim to be among the best And is not wanting teachers one For ours are second best to none. N.

They looked and looked and then they said, That is only the spot on 'Great Scott's' head? Mr. Demuth- What kind of plants grow along the sea shore ? Russel Klyver- Oysters There is a Freshman, C. Costin, Is known from Peru to Boston. Such pretty blue eyes, A dream of the skies, Are those of our Freshie, C. Costin. There is a teacher Grable, Now to tell the truth he's a blow, For he thinks he is quite able To tell us all we should know. 77 92 Lat.-Mr. Scott-- What kind of a verb is sequor? Harry De Puy- An exponent. RULES FOR FRESHMEN. Bow when you meet any Senior. Speak like nice little children when talking to Seniors. Remember never to crowd past Seniors in the halls.
