Peru High School - Narcissus Yearbook (Peru, IN)

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. LH ,

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

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
