AS 1 f Naaclssus Wm . W AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OLD PERU HIGH SCHOOL BUILDINGS As I am very old, I want to say a few things before I pass away and am forgotten. Many, many years ago, before Itook a bodily form, my spirit came to dwell in Miami county. It was then that the Miami Indians would lay down the peace pipe and talk of educating their children as the white man did. But their talk was but idle dreaming for it never had any result. Then not long after the civil war was over, the people of the good community of Peru decided to give me a frame. They did so and I soon became the Great Counsellor of hundreds of young people. During the following forty years I was allowed to change my form three times, each time appear- ing a little more respectable than before. But of late my third frame has become very, very feeble. I am wearing out, I guess. The cold seems to penetrate into my inmost parts and I shudder and shake in the storms. I sometimes feel as if I should fall to pieces. So, feeling that the end is near, I have one wish and that is that I may be allowed to rest in quiet- ness and peace, surrounded by the beauties of Peru, where the happiest days of my life have been spent.

Foreword Narcissus was a youth of old, Who lived in elfin bower. He pined away on a summer's day, And changed into a flower. And to this flower and to this man This book is dedicated. And if you're pleased before you're through We all will feel elated. ln Memoriam A heavy gloom indeed was cast over the community, when on the twelfth day of August, nineteen hundred and nine, the sad news of Harry Wilson,s death, by lightning, was received. Among the High School students especially was it felt, for everyone realized how much his happy countenance would be missed at school the following autumn. Harry Wilson Was born February twenty-third, eighteen hundred and ninety-one, near Peru, Indiana. When about eight years old he moved to the country south of Peru, Where he lived until his death. He was a boy who was loved by all, from the members of his family to those who came in contact With him in a busi- ness Way, and his honesty and sunny Ways Well merited all this love. The class of nineteen eleven sincerely grieves this loss of one of its most valued members. -7 C Editor-in-Chief, Helen Harris Chute CALENDAR: Business Manager, . . Clarence Miller' Edith F.

A few hours after my plan was decided upon, I was on my way. In due time I arrived, and as I had not been in Peru since I left Qimmediately after graduationl, I ex- pected to find things somewhat changed. But when I saw the streets thronged with people, I was surprised. Upon inquiry, I discovered that it was the opening day of the VVallace-Hagenbeck shows. Of course, I was de- lighted, for I thought I would be unusually successful in seeing some of my old friends. Imagine, then, my disappointment when evening came and I had not yet seen one. I hoped against hope as I entered my box at the circus, which was fitted out like a theater. VVhile waiting for the show to start I heard a familiar voice call out Peanuts and crackerjack! Last time around ! I thought I knew that voice, and after looking around I finally saw Lee Hiner, dressed in a white canvas suit, disposing of his sweets. I called to him and asked for a sack of peanuts. Upon hearing my voice he came up and grabbed my hand and declared he was mighty pleased to see me. He also said that he and his wife would be glad to have me call at the hotel after the show. I asked him who his wife was, and he said she was the animal trainer' in the show. Cf course, I was anxious to see who she was, and I could hardly wait until the show opened. Finally I saw the animals come into the steel arena and with them a very young looking girl with short hair. Now, I always knew Bessie S. was a good boy tamer, but I never dreamed of her becoming an animal tamer. - After the show was all over I met Lee and Bessie at the hotel and began talking over the good times we used to have at school and the scattering of all the other class- mates whom I hadn't seen for so long. Lee said he and Bessie had had jobs as bookkeepers in the same office, but since both were crazy about each other and also about circus life, they had decided to get married and start out with the circus. They said they did not wish to forget all they had learned about bookkeeping, and so had decided to keep a record of the Senior class. ,I asked them to read what they had in it. It certainly contained some very funny remarks. From that and other sources I got the following: Mildred Ashton, after deciding to postpone her mar- riage a while, became a school teacher. She is now making the little things count by teaching arithmetic in the first grade. Joe Bradley and Wayne Ray, anxious to rise up in the world, went west and are now'located somewhere in Idaho on a horse radish ranch. They have met with great success and are becoming very wealthy. -27 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY NVe have two more representatives out west, Verne Guinney and M. Hostetler. These girls, not being able to find a husband in Indiana, went out there in hope of linding one. They are traveling in Idaho now and if they come across the horse radish ranch they may be lucky enough to get good husbands, as joe and NVayne are lonesome. Helen Brenton is in charge of a girls' seminary in Massachusetts. Strange to say, Helen allows no male on the premisesg but she can't be blamed muchffor being disgusted with the men. C. Burnett went into training immediately after graduation, and is today the champion heavyweight fighter of the world. He has whipped ,lack Johnson twice, and, 'tis said, it is impossible to knock him out. E. Burnett, after graduating, attended a' musical academy and is now in Bunker Hill giving lessons on the French harp. It seems queer that none of our members tried to find the north pole, but yet we have a representative in the north, Helen Chute, who traveled in Nova Scotia, a year after graduating. She is now performing mis- sionary work among the Esquimaux in Greenland. Helen's warm heart is making a hit in Greenland. A. Goldsbarry went on the stage and he is exceedingly -28 glad that he is small, as he is playing the baby Napoleon in The Newlyweds and Their Baby. The future of Ethan Graves was certainly inliuenced by the environment of his school days. Ethan had so many admirers-Josephine, Edith and Nellie VVilson, Dora Metheny and Loretta Bauer-that he had to become a Mormon in order to marry all. They are now living in Salt Lake City and, strange to say, no jealousy arises between the wives, for each is satished with her generous share of his love. 'L. Haas and Pug Lawrence, who were always crazy about the ocean, are now deck hands on the submarine boat Mabel, named after Pug's wife. Mabel M. and Pug were married about tive years ago, but Booy has not yet been able to find a girl that he thought would be suitable for a wife. H. Hornbeckunoted as the swellest-looking kid in high school, is now in New York, posing for fashion plates. L. Kreutzer and E. Long both took up literary life. Lucile has just finished the greatest love story ever writ- ten, while Edith is contributing detective stories for that publication called Diamond Dick. Georgia Lavengood made fudge in a candy kitchen for a number of years after graduation. One day after turn- ing out a batch she conceived the idea of making bricks SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY from it. Now she is becoming wealthy in the brick-manu- facturing business. Blanche Loder was married three months after receiv- ing her diploma and the last time I saw her she was fussing with a lock of her husband's hair in a gold watch locket. No, her husband is not deadg he is just bald-headed. Fern Mahley, who made such a hit in the girls' basket- ball team, is now coaching the B. B. team of the Amboy Seminary. ' George Martin also tried to become a basket-ball coach, but failed. Later he took up politics, and it is ru- mored that he will be a Socialist candidate next term for the position of janitor in the White House. R. Martindale made quite a sensation with her stage dancing, but now, for some time, has been giving lessons in Boston, and it is said that some of the greatest dancers on the stage today were at one time her pupils. R. McElwee, after taking geometry in high school as long as possible, went to a special geometry school, where he graduated last year. But Mc. had his troubles for a few days after leaving the schoolg he was given this old prob- lem: How many cubic feet of dirt in a' hole ten feet square? He worked so hard on it without meeting with any success that as a result he was forced to seek the rest cure in Colorado, where he is now located. E. McCall became a Red Cross nurse and took a prom- inent part in the war between the United States and Japan. C. Miller and VV. Nelp, who are now such great mu- sicians, founded the Peru Symphony Orchestra, and are soon to make a tour of the world. C. Murphy took to following the plow and at present owns almost half of Miami county. Clarence said the girls never bothered him much, but one will get him yet, if he keeps on becoming so rich. Nellie Owens, A. Rhein and Lola Kard are ardent women suffragettes. They have succeeded in getting wom- en's suffrage in forty states of the Union and have a good chance in the rest. The trouble with these girls is that they haven't met the right fellow yet. E. Scherschel was interested in the telephone business and later invented a telephone by which the person at the other end of the line might be seen. This machine is called the Scherschelscope and is used all over the world. Edith Wells is another victim of the stage, for she is now in vaudeville, imitating Eva Tanguay. S Lelia Will and Gail Zartman were unable to secure a proper man, so are conducting a summer home for chil- dren of the slums. However, they are not like Miss Bren- ton, for they want all the men about the place they can get, in the hope of being able to keep one. -29 SENIGR CLASS PROPHECY Stella VVolfe is keeping books in a large hair-dressing parlor. It is thought that Stella is a silent partner, and I would not be surprised if she actually owned all of the business. Hester VVood, who holds the record for saying more words in a minute than any other person in the world, is now making graphophone records for the Edison people. Fern Poor joined the Salvation Army and has recently been appointed first lieutenant. She takes up the collec- Josephine Lockridge moved to New York, where she became very popular among the 'tfour hundred. VVhile reading a newspaper not long ago, I saw that she is en- gaged to an English count. I can hardly believe that, as Josephine is fa-r too good-looking to marry any one but a native of Peru. When I came to my name on the record, there was only a blur. They were unable to make it out, and so I suggested that my life was like it-only a blur-but they would not agree with me. At length, we closed the book on the intensely interesting outcome of the famous class of tion, by which she makes a good living. nineteen-lleven. -Emil Schram, jr., 1911.

And then came the fourth year, Most important of all, VVhen we did our best And tried not to fall. Our captains had led us With their wonderful powerg So now we were all At the top of the tower. But we soon shall have gone, We are sorry to sayg But we'll gain more fame By toiling each day.

Farewell, scholars, under the teacher's rule.

The first class to come from yon beauteous building, Nineteen-'leven, leaves you with high ideals. Farewell, farewell, longer we cannot be with you, Farewell, farewell, with us the world now deals. Nihil sine labore has been our motto, Wliicli we've carried thro' all these years of work. As at last we part from this high school forever, May, we never any life burdens shirk.

When we, as Freshmen, entered the old P. H. S., we lacked the greenness, characteristic of most freshmen classes, and soon adapted ourselves to our surroundings. At the close of our memorable freshman year, when we passed from beneath the watchful eye of Miss Wilson into the unexplored regions of the upper assembly, we found a ready friend in Miss Armitage, with whom we have always been favorites because of our vivid imaginations, good behavior and originality. Space will not permit a detailed account of our merits, but we must mention the splendid record of our boys in athletics, of whom we feel justly proud. VVe have several brilliant stars who have shed their radiance over the entire class, making us all aspire to higher things. We cannot be the first class to graduate from this beautiful new building. but we are determined to make a record that shall be worthy of the advantages which it offers, and to make the class of 1912 the best class that has or will grad- uate from it. Recognizing the ability of the present senior class, we realize to what a height we must attain, but by per- severance we hope to merit even this distinction. -Historian, 112. -37 unior Class Song QTune, Sighing. j Seniors, we know you are loyal and true, And 'tis with sorrow that we part from you, But when in life's journey our paths divide, May your way with bright roses be pied.

Sophomore Class History Two years ago the Sophomores of today started their career as freshmen of the Peru High School, and our second year linds us diligently working to lill the ranks of the noted seniors. During our First year we were looked down upon as green freshies, but in our second year we have risen higher on the ladder of success. VVe have shown ourselves capable of furnishing a goodly share of athletics, especially in football, and we also have among our numbers most distinguished artists of Whom we are very proud. This noted class has chosen for its motto, To Be and Not to Seem g for its colors green and white.

I Freshmen Class History K -li An account of the Hrst act of the great play, High School Life, a drama of four acts. The play begins September fifth, nineteen-ten, at eight-fifty. Behold! as the curtain rises, nine arc lights, some large, some small, flash up, and down the stage in dignified ranks stand the Seniors. Next are the gay juniors, and after them the giggling Sophomores, but for one moment all have forgotten their own mighty presence and are intently watching the verdant freshmen, who quail and stagger under their awful gaze. The play proceeds. But the attention is again and again attracted from the glory of the first row of players to the brilliant acts of the little ones at the back of the stage, who are already starring in class work, music, athletics and parlia- mentary law class. They work! They strive! They advance farther and farther, and near the second wing. The Seniors prepare to leave, the Juniors grow more dignified and the Sophomores more merry. They all move a little down the stage, giving way to the Freshmen, who advance with heads erect, eyes glistening, and already wearing the sophomore smile. -Historian, '14, 'D- muff' far' -49 Freshmen Class Poem VVe are the jolly Freshman class, As fresh and green as new spring grass.

IIE Franklin's summer home, called the Needles, is located among the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in a small grove of sequoia trees. Last Christmas Mrs. Franklin told her club of japanese girls this story: One day as I was lying in the ham- mock which, as you know, is stretched between the two oldest and largest ' 5 T trees at the Needles, the older tree asked me if I had ever thought of what was happening on this side of the world when Christ was living. VVhenI replied that I had not, she said, 'At that time I was very young, only about twenty years old, if I remember rightly, and this side of the world was more beautiful than it is now. The green, rolling hills were covered with beautiful forests. There were no people here, only gentle animals and singing birds. One day there came from the sky a host of beings, who said that they had been sent to live here for a period of time. That night darkness did not fall, over every- thing a soft radiance shone, and I heard the strangers sing- ing and praising God. In the morning I learned that the little Christ-child was born in Bethlehem in far-off Judea, and that they had been sent here to live as long as the Christ was on earth. For nearly thirty-two years these people remained, making all life beautiful. Then one dark night, when all was hushed and silent, as though some great crisis were at hand, suddenly there was a mighty earthquake. It seemed as though my roots would be torn from the ground. In the morning all was changedg instead of the slight- -52 ly rolling hills, there were these huge mountains. Many of the birds and animals were killed, and those that were left were changed in disposition. Nearly all of the beauti- ful Horal life was destroyed, and, above all, none of the heavenly people were here, nor have they ever come back. Since then I have learned that on that dark, solemn night, Christ was crucified' Y ,i ' 1 E, The New Senior By Bessie M. Stewart. f , ISN'T he swell looking? 'Tm crazv ,125 . . . . .' I, about.h1m.,',' He's awfully bright in fl 14855 Chemistry. The English teacher is - foolish about him. A crowd of girls were standing l around Louise VVurtenburger's desk, fy- Ajit, during a rest period, talking about a Q5 3 r it well dressed fellow, as he entered the -- 1 . . R assembly with the professor. He had wavy black hair, a high, intelligent forehead, a rather prominent nose and. large, mischievous brown eyes with well arched eyebrows. His shoulders were extraordinarily broad and his body was well propor- tioned. He appeared to be 'about nineteen years old, was well dressed, and as most girls say, was swell looking. This was his first day at school, and as we have already seen, he was the topic of conversation, as is generally the case when a new student enters the P. H. S., especially a Senior. I wonder if he will come to the reception tomorrow evening, remarked Angeline Manull. Of course he will! The boys seem to like him. He and George Jackson had some awfully good jokes in Chem- sitry this afternoon. His name is Harry Hopkins, said Amelia Redmon. VVell, girls, I am going to shine there. I hope he is a swell dancer, remarked Louise, who was the most popu- lar girl in the crowd. That evening, after school, Laura Patterson and her brother jack met the famous new Senior, who stopped Jack to ask him about the German assignment. jack in- troduced his sister and the three walked over to the ball park together. Jack remarked to his mother that evening that Harry seemed to like Laura, and it looked as though he had made a hit with her. Theenext day all the girls wondered who Harry Hop- kins would take to the reception and several remarked that they would like to be the lucky girl. No one thought of him taking Laura Patterson, for her mother worked hard to send her to school, and she seldom had a fellow. Pk bk Pk Pk Pk lk ak Pk Pk lk Pk ik At last the longed-for evening arrived. A crowd of girls were in one of the parlors, arranging their hair and changing their shoes, when Louise came in with the aston- ishing news that Harry Hopkins had brought Laura Pat- terson to the dance. How funny! How terribly crazy! Wl1y, who ever heard of such a thing? exclaimed several of the girls at the same time. Well, I am certainly surprised myselff' said Louise. Some one ought to tell him better. The boys all seem to admire her at school. I think it is so strange. She has an awfully pretty dress on this evening, remarked one of the girls. Well, just you wait until I get that dance I told you girls I was to have. with him, said Louise. I'll tell him a thing or two. Harold introduced me to him this after- noon. He seems to be such a dandy fellow, and comes from a good family, too. After the grand march, Louise managed to get close to Harry Hopkins and seemed quite surprised when he asked if he might see her program. Later, she informed the girls that she had the sixth dance with him, and that she was going to tell him what she thought. It seemed to Louise as if the sixth dance would never come, but finally they were dancing together what Louise afterwards called a dreamy waltz. --53 .- How do you like your friend ? began Louise. Are you referring to Miss Patterson? I think she is very nice. Why? Oh, I just wondered. Don't you think she seems rather common ? Why, no, I hadn't noticed it. 1 Her mother does someof our sewing. Oh, does she? I met her this evening. She appealed to me as a perfect lady. Yes, she is very nice, but Laura and I never get along. Of course, we never went in the same crowd, and I am not very well acquainted with her. How do you like the school here? Louise, seeing it was of no use to knock on Laura any longer, carried the conversation into a different channel. She saw that she had made a mis- take. Harry was not like most of the boys at school, and after that fatal evening she admired him more than ever, but in vain. Harry became quite popular, both with the fellows and the girls, but he took Laura to most of the dances, and they-well, they became fast friends. tt ,...1 -. The Lady in Green Iiy a Senior. ' AS I had just learned that my fair partner for the next dance had left the ballroom, and as I myself was rather weary of dancing, I was about to go into an ad- joining alcove when I paused in the doorway. An inter- esting picture was before me which I was loath to inter- rupt. . The walls and hangings of the room were all in a restful dull green which harmonized well with the dark wood of the furniture. However, there was a bright touch to this otherwise dullness, for, seated on a divan was the -54 figure of a woman, dressed in a charming green gown, the brilliant color of which reminded one of that which I had once seen in some peacock feathers. Shimmering folds of it lay about her feet and I could almost hear them rustle, altho' she remained motionless. Her exquisite throat and rounded shoulders were bared and only a thin veiling of net covered her arms to the elbow. One beautiful arm rested gracefully on the side of the divan, the other lay in her lap with not a ring or bracelet to mar its curves. Masses of auburn hair, which cast a ruddy glow over her shoulders, were coiled low on her nec'k. Their rich color was duplicated in her cheeks. Her face was beauti- ful, for not only were her features soft and well-defined, but there was also a sweet expression on them which added much to her appearance. Her whole attitude, as she leaned forward, was one of delighted interest and her face was upturned as she listened to the words of the man standing before her. Not wishing to disturb what' was, perhaps, a serious moment for them both, I tiptoed away. -Z' The Sad Tale of Jimmie's Date By Frank M.

Jimmie thought it was all right, Although it was on Thursday night. f ' ,V Ei Harriet shook her head, I guess, T-7 I But Jimmie thought her lips said Yes. He washed his face and combed his hair, And even brushed his shoes with care. He brushed his clothes, and then he took His overcoat from off the hook. And straightway did he haste to go To the dear girl who loved him so. No doubt his heart beat high with glee, For look whom he prepared to see. And as he went along the way He thought a little speech to say. lt went like this, O sweet one mine, Come with me while the moon doth shine. And we will take a little walk, And to each other we will talk. Cf Sunday Schools and people's,brains, And making fudge at Auntie Swains'. And valentines and Cupid's darts, Andmaking love, and broken hearts. Cf motor boats and trolley cars, And then we'll look for shooting stars. And you will have no cause for fear If your dear Jimmie Cox is near. But why was Jimmie so elated? To meet with bad luck he was fated. For when he came up to the house, lt was as silent as a mouse. Poor Jimmie was left in the lurch, For all the family were at church! MORAL: When there's a preacher's girl in sight. Don't make a date for Thursday night. ,ll 1 A Conflict of the Elements By Harold VVallace. THE High School building was quiet, and at rest on this Friday night, and not a light gleamed from the win- dowsg apparently it was deserted. The hands of the clock pointed to the hour of twelve, when out of the Chemistry and Physics laboratories step- ped two ghostly and careworn figures, each seeming lit- tle more than a shadow in the dark surroundings. Neither was aware of the other's presence, and each was occupied -55 with deep thought. Both wandered about through the long hall, as if they were accustomed to such a habit. They did not, however, go very far from their respective rooms. In a short time each turned his steps towards the opposite end of the hall. Wfhat would happen if these two night prowling Spirits should meet? Closer and closer to each other they drew, and now they were passing at no more than an arm's length apart. It seemed as if they would go by each other unnoticed, when up went a win- dow-shade near them, and in streamed the bright moon- light. For nearly a minute they stood regarding each other. Then the lips of the Chemistry Spirit moved: Oh! so we have met at last, have we? said he an- grily. Yes, at last, and very opportunely, too, replied the Spirit from the Physics' laboratory. Do you still claim to have the most power within your grasp, even more than I? asked the Chemistry Spirit. Most assuredly, and what is more, I can prove it, if it is your wishfi he replied. B Very well, I am prepared to demonstrate my power, said the Chemistry Spirit. Shall we decide here, now and forever, which of us is the more powerful?y' Yes, we will meet here in an hour, and have some kind of apparatus ready to prove our claims. I suggest that we both try to demolish the school building, said the Chemistry Spirit. The plan is satisfactory, replied the other. So with this they departed to their rooms. Vtfhat appeared to be the last hour for the high school building ended only too soon, and the Spirits again met near the unshaded window. The Chemistry Spirit had merely a jar of gas, while the other had an apparatus which would exhaust all the air from the building. As you know, my method will take some time for -56 preparation, so let us set the hour of two for our linal testf' said the Chemistry Spirit. As you wish, the other Spirit replied. The minute hand of the clock was only half a minute from its goal, the Chemistry Spirit had lighted a match for his explosion, when both were attracted by the phantom, Time, who came plying down the hall. Suddenly a look of consternation overspread the faces of both the Spirits. Alas! we can never test our power! exclaimed one, Time has stopped. 'The Old and the New THEREXS a new High School in Peru, for sooth, And rather a nice one, toog I like her looks, and, to tell the truth, I sort of believe sheill do.

EVERAL of the women of the little town of Corwin had formed a club. No one knew, not even the mem- bers, what was the purpose of it. Their husbands, or at least those who had husbands, said it was bors. For this reason the ladies -., decided to do something worth while to make the men change their opinions. On a VVednesday afternoon not long before Christmas, the club met at the home of the minister's wife, who was chairman. After refreshments, consisting of chocolate and wafers, had been served, the meeting was called to order. Now, ladies, said Mrs. Grey, when quiet reigned, we have a great deal of business to consider today, and we must begin at once. Yes, interrupted Mrs. Brown, the doctor's wife, for my husband says that all we do at our meetings is to gossip. - NVell, if I had a husband like that, said Miss Sharp, he would not treat our club so lightly. lf she had a husband like that, whispered Mrs. Brown to the lady who sat beside her. No danger of her ever having any kind of a husband. As you all know, continued the chairman, the pur- pose of this meeting is to set a date for our market. For the benefit of those who were not present at our last meet- ing, I will explain: lVe are going to hold a market some time before Christmas, the proceeds of which are to go to Q I H E' um-. the poor.

Oh, said Mrs. King. does anyone know how much eggs are now? I paid twenty-live cents a dozen the last time, but I think I was cheatedfi One of my friends got some for twenty cents a dozen yesterday. They were nice, fresh ones, too, answered Mrs. Black. Does anyone know how Mrs. Moore makes that de- licious cake?i' asked Mrs. Brown. She makes the best cake I ever ate. 'Hmli' said Miss Sharp, I don't think she makes such good cakes. I think mine are better than any of hers. 'I thought I would sell cake at the market, but I guess I'll sell candy instead, and I can make good candy. Sweets to the sweet, murmured Mrs. Brown. Ladiesl Ladies! we really must have order, cried Mrs. Grey, pounding her hammer on the table. Wife have not decided on the date for the market yet.

VVell, I don't believe it is, and I don't care, anyway. I am going to hold my part on the eighteenth, whether the rest of you do or notf' Oh, my goodness, look what time it is! Half past live! called Mrs. Black. Oh dear, the time does go so rapidly, and we havenlt done anything, complained Mrs. Grey. Everyone started for their wraps, and. after bidding their hostess goodby, hurried home to tell their husbands what a delightful afternoon they had spent and how much good their club was accomplishing. 6 -57 A Tribute to the New High School Has Mg ti -.3 By Helen T.

I should answer, I should tell you, I .5 e eeee . a t Wlth their lau hter bubblin over 'Tis because they have departed From the old and worn out High School, Left the poor, forlorn old building, VVith its walls all bare and yellow, VVith its winding, creaking stairways, And its halls so dark and dismal. Have abandoned this old building And have gone into the new one. As they gaze upon its glories, Drink from out its bubbling fountains, Try the seats, so new and shining, VVander through the spacious hallways, Or, gaze upward at the skylight. Truly, 'tis a marveolus High School, W'orthy of such wondrous people. They exclaim, and wander onward. Ever moving, this way, that way, Up and down, and never pausing, They continue on their journey 'Till they've seen the entire building. VVhen they've looked upon its splendors, All its glories, never ending, Then the wonder leaves their faces. And their talking grows more quiet. ,But still laughter bubbles over, -58 Like the rivers in the woodland, Or the fountains of the High School. Read Your Notes By Edith F. VVells.

JIMMIE VVHITE just had to get something nice this year for Virginia Lancaster. Hadn't they gone together now for three years? That was just where the trouble came in, for it seemed to Jimmie that he had already given her everything that was appropriate. But Jimmie studied on. A bracelet? No, he had given her a bracelet on her last birthday, a necklace ?-no, that was his last Christmas gift, a ring?-no, that wouldn't do, he had given her a signet ring two years ago. He made out a list of presents, a big, long list, but he marked them all as either inappro- priate or already presented. He was about to give up in despair, when an idea came to him-he would ask his friend, Johnnie Jones. Johnnie always did have brilliant ideas. However, the next day, when he met Johnnie, his courage failed him. He just couldn't come straight to the point and tell his troubles outright, so he tried to work up to the subject gradually. By the way, he began, in a very casual manner, What are you going to give your wife for Christmas this year? . Johnnie looked surprised. A case of silverware. Why ? Then noticing his friend's embarrassment, he made a good guess, and gently remarked: Well, what's her name? At that Jimmie blurted out the whole story, how he had gone with her so long that he had come to the end of his list of gifts, and so at last had decided to ask Johnnie for help. Johnnie listened sympathetically, and then sat for a few minutes staring out of the window. VVant to marry her ? The question was abrupt. Jimmie stammered and blushed, but at last confessed that he did want to marry her as soon as he was certain where he stood. Well, said Johnnie, let me have your address, and I'll order a present sent around to your house the after- noon before Christmas. Now, don't you worry any more. The gift will turn up all safe and sound in plenty of time, and I promise you 'twill be the very thing you wantf, Jimmie hurried home from his business on Christmas eve, and eagerly tore open the small package which he found waiting for him. Inside, resting on a soft bed of velvet, was a ring. Why, I gave- he began, and then looked again. He had never before given her a ring like this one. The day after Christmas Johnnie scanned the engage- ment column of the local newspaper carefully and calmly. At last his face lighted up, and, winking at his wife, he told the whole story in two short words, Jimmie's treat. ' im a -59 What's in a Name--A True Story lly josephine Lockridge. CGLD, dull day was the fifth of jan- uary. The wind came blowing down the street with great force, causing the students to hurry faster towards the school house. Everyone was in a hurry, as it was the day for final f exams. There was an unusual excitement in the hall and recitation rooms. At the rest period students gathered in groops, quizzing each other so they would be prepared for the next hourls work. Do tell me something about Romanticism! Oh, I know I flunked in Chemistry! f'Say, how did you answer that question F And so the conversation was carried on. just look at Ethel and Blanche, said Robert. They are trying to make up lost time nowf, Ethel turned, I crammed last night until one o'clock, she answered. I think Blanche studied all nightfy ' It wasnit quite that bad,'l laughed Blanche. Edith Carpenter, a very pretty girl and a general favorite, joined the group that stood over by the window, comparing note books. Everybody is just digging away as if their lives depended upon it, she said. VVhy, I haven't reviewed at all, but will just trust to luck. Does anyone know about this stuff? broke in Ed- wards. I don't. Lucy does, and if Russell doesn't, it won't be her fault, laughed Robert. Up in front :T thin-faced girl was talking very rapidly to a showily dressed, heavy featured boy who was listening fi l ,y ,f C17 .lf -60 attentively to what she said. Lucy could always be de- pended on for dates and definitions. As the bell rang the pupilsquickly went to the recitation room where the examination was to be held. Conversation and cramming ceased as the teacher stepped to the board and started to write the examination questions. Some began writing hurriedlygas if they were afraid they couldn't finish in an hour. Far up in the front Lucy was writing her questions slowly and very precisely, so Russell, sitting behind her, had no difficulty in keeping up. The hour was more than' half over. Faster and faster the pencils hurried across the pages. Lucy was still toiling steadily on and Russell copied as fast as she wrote. You could tell by Russell's face, he was sure he would get through. Edith Carpenter hadn't been in school long, and she didn't know this was Russel's manner of passing an examination, so she was very much astonished. All at once Lucy's arm dropped on her paper. This caused Rus- sell to stop writing. He had only five minutes to finish, so he risked copying the last sentence just as Lucy had it. The teacher had called for the papers.

OODMAN, said the good wife, you must go out into the forest and gathersticks forthe fire. Tomorrow will be Sunday, and we have no wood to burn. Yes, goodwife, answered the good- man, I shall go He did not go at oncef' to the forest, but he sat on a mossy rock and fished until it was dark, and so he brought home no wood. The goodwife will not know it, he thought. When the first ray of sunlight began to break through the eastern sky, he crept softly out of the house, and went to the forest. Soon he had as many sticks as he could carry, and had started home, when a voice called sternly: Put those sticks down!', He looked to the right, to the left, before him, behind him, and over his head. There was no one to be seen. Put those sticks down, said the voice again. Please, I do not dare to put them down, replied the goodman, trembling with fear. They are to burn and my goodwife cannot cook without them? just a Story--A Morality By Edith T. Vlfells. ONCE upon a time a little child became lost in a great wood, and, wandering on and on, at last came to an open space, in the center of which stood a palace. It was a strange building. exalted in its magnificent splendor, hum- ble in its position. Fear did not come to the child, neither did shyness possess her, for she bravely walked up to the gates and entered. The host came forward to greet her. Welcome to the Palace of the Heart of Man! Thy coming to the home of Life gives us happiness. Thou mayest wander here at thy pleasure. There are many rooms and halls, the paths to which are many and diversi- fied. Some are broad and much traveled, others are nar- row and lead to undiscovered realms. Love and joy, with all the other blessings, dwell in the upper rooms, Hate and Despair rule the dungeons. Remember always when in Adversity and Despair that I am Life, and that wherethere is Life, there also dwelleth Hope and Faith. The child wandered on, ever climbing higher to the abode of Love, and as she walked Hope quickened her steps, and at last she found herself in the Hall of Dreams. Entering a room, which was neither ruled over by High Ideals nor by Sordid Commonness, she saw herself, aided by Ambition and Hope gaining Fame and Glory. She saw Faith coming to her side, and Courage following. Then Knowledge and Self-Control joined her, followed by Patience and Godliness. Godliness brought her Brotherly Kindness, who was followed by the greatest of all bles- sings, Love. As she dreamed, Imagination gave to her High Ideals, when in the midst of it Cold Despair grasped her and carried her away to the dungeon of the Gloom. At first she did not struggle, but as the situation dawned on her, she tried to get free, and immediately Hope came to her rescue, and bore her aloft to the abode of Freedom. Then as she met Life again, Courage and Faith were added unto her, and she stood strong and true in her united Blessings. -6l The Turkey's Sacrifice By Mabel L. Miller. T was on the Monday before Thanks- giving when Farmer Blair was out in the barnyard taking a last look at f 1 f' , his flock of turkeys which were to A I ,ff be taken to town the next day for V if 4 ' the market. The turkeys were run- ning around as happy as usual, -71? K' acting as if they were ignorant of ,-- the fact that Thanksgiving was so v near. But they were not so ignorant ' as they seemed, for they had planned to run away that very night. At the appointed time the turkeys assembled under the large oak tree in the barnyard to carry out their plans of escape. One old turkey who had formerly been silent, flew upon the gate post near by to give his opinion. There was a hush of silence when he began, because he was very old and much respected by the rest of the flock. He said: Dear Turkeys, I have been silent while you made these plans, for I thought that you would surely change your minds. I do not think that you ought to run away from being killed on Thanksgiving. It is a matter of honor to be sacrificed. Think of what our fathers and fore- fathers have been doing for generations! Haven't they been killed, and without a murmur? And why should we be the first ones to disgrace our name and let some other bird take our place in the meaning of Thanksgiving? The turkeys were thinking deeply as they walked back to their roost. Finally after much discussion of the old counsellor's words, they decided to stay and be killed. The next morning the farmer could find no trace of his turkeys. There were wagon tracks and footprints about the roost, so he concluded that the turkeys had been -62 lk stolen. He felt very badly, for he needed the money that they would have brought . Meanwhile the turkeys were some miles away in a closed wagon, jogging slowly over the road to town. For- tunately, one of the doors of the wagon came open and the turkeys, one by one, flew to the ground, doing it so silently that they were not missed. They still kept their resolutions of the night before, and started for farmer E-lair's. The turkeys were so excited by their capture that they had lost all idea of time and thought that Thanksgiv- ing had passed and so they would be safe in returning home. They walked all that day and the next evening crept wearily into the farmer's barnyard, eager for their supper 'and for familiar surroundings. The farmer soon came out and on discovering his tur- Lkeys called to his wife, See my turkeys have come back in time for me to take them to town early tomorrow morn- ing. Each turkey's heart went down like lead. Had they returned only to be killed after all? But remembering the old counsellor's words of the night before, they took cour- age and remained to meet their fate. gf: l Twilight Thoughts Anonymous.

ADAM MQRIARITY, altho' in most ways a fairly good husband, ocasionally got drunk. This discouraged his wife, so one day, when Adam had been yielding to temptation more often than usual, she went to the minister and asked him to talk to Adam. This the minister did, explaining fully all the evils that resulted from drink and doing his best to get Adam to turn over a new leaf. Then, thinking to influence Adam still more, the minister said he would make him weekly visits and give him instructions. For awhile all went well, but one day Adam was sore- ly tempted, and yielded. After the first glass he forgot all his promises and remained until quite drunk. At last, as he was staggering home, he slipped and fell, bruising him- self very badly. The minister was to make his visit that night, and Adam dared not face him. So he crawled Linder the bed and told his wife to say he was not at home. ' VVhen the minister came into the house, he picked up the Bible, opened it, and after glancing at some of the pages, asked, VVhen did Adam fall? Mrs. Moriarity looked at him in astonishment and then called, Shure, and ye might as well come on out, Adam, he knows all about it.', ' -63 l-ligli School Annuals Everrnore lly Helen II. Chute.

Miss Armitage, she had a fall Where many kids could see. It happened, well, I don't know how, Hut just at half past three. Miss Grace was sitting at the deskg Her chair she'd just tipped back VVhen every one within the room Vilas startled by a crack. And many pieces of the chair Flew all over the place. Then in a moment each one saw That poor chair fall from Grace. Hut when this fine new chair gave way She hit the floor ker-whack, And for a minute she did lay Quite Hat upon her back. And all the brave and gallant lads NVithin that room did sit. They did not hustle up to her And help her, not a bit. Although no boy did help her rise, She soon regained her feetg And then she calmly looked around To find another seat. jACOBY'S BOOK. Jacoby had a little book, And it was black as jet, And in it were deportment marks lily dozens, you can bet. l-le brought this book to school each day fAnd this no one can doubtl That when the boys did laugh and play, The little book came out. Then he'd his big black pencil take: Our grades he'd downward mark, And when we gave him a black look He tho't it was a lark. So oft the little book came out, Our grades he piled so high, NVhen he turned in the grades, no doubt, He feared a 'big black eye. AN HOUR IN MR. ANNUAL'S HOFFICE. A FARCE IN ONE ACT.

Miss Stiles, another teacher in her 'dored Latin, Surely talks as slick as satin. When you've got a hard lesson said, She's almost inevitably ready with a VVell Read. Now indeed our most dear little teacher in Dutch Has trouble each day, far too much. For the kids all preach a sermon About the length of every lesson in German. Miss Hayward has the two different Freshie classes And to these poor lads and lasses She has to explain and explain, To make all of everything exceedingly plain. Q Miss VVilson, our tall teacher in difficult math. Points out with a very long lath Everything you donlt at all know. Yes, every little word of this small tale is so. Gordon is also another of this small band Whom no one can beat in this land. ln history there's nothing he lacks, And he makes you dig right down to every day facts. VVe have an extremely erect teacher named Kocher, Wlio in Science does surely soar, Hut he often before us stands VVith many, many truly severe reprimands. Miss Grace E. Armitage has instilled and instilled Until our fertile brains are filled NVith poets we did not at all know, From the great Shakespeare clear down to Poe. But now we have come to our Miss Mabel Munroe, Who surely tells and makes us know All about old Solid and Plane, Until any more great knowledge would make us vain Now among this most truly goodly nine, Of some more I must drop a line: They teach music, writing and art, So indeed must surely in this ditty take part.

A - On February the eighteenth, the girls of the High School, together with the women of the faculty, enter- tained their friends at a reception for the benefit of the lady teachers' rest room. The assemblies and recitation rooms were beautifully decorated in flags and the school colors, black and gold. After the guests had been ushered over the building by girls dressed in old-fashioned costumes, they were taken to the third floor, where light refresh- ments were served. During the afternoon the following program was given: Piano Solo Miss Augur Reading Marjorie Barry Vocal Solo Caroline Fasnacht Reading Miss lVICA1'tl'lLll' Yocal Solo Miss Cole VVhen the program was concluded, a collection was taken, which proved amply sufficient to furnish the rest I'0Ol'I'1. ,..i.. T- SOPHOMORE RECEPTION. On November the twenty-fifth, the Sophomore class gave a reception and dance. Although the invitation. decoration and refreshment committees all forgot to per- form their duties, still all present spent a very enjoyable evening. --96 SENIOR HAY RACK PARTY. The Seniors and the faculty were agreeably surprised when on October the twenty-eighth, Miss Josephine VVilson invited them to a Hallowe'en party at her country home, a few miles east of the city. Hayracks were pro- vided and a merry group started from the home of Miss Helen Chute, arriving at their destination a few hours later, cold, but happy. A grinning jack o'lantern and sev- eral sheeted ghosts welcomed them. Hallowe'en sports of all kinds were enjoyed and a bountiful supper was served, after which the guests departed, fully convinced that they had never spent a more pleasant evening. JUNIOR HAY RACK PARTY. On November fourteenth, the Juniors started for the Nash home, live miles east of Peru. All were in high spirits and the journey was accomplished safely. All man- ner of games were played, and the Faculty represented forgot their accustomed dignity and vied with the noisiest present. Everyone was starved and certainly did justice to the oyster stew which was served. Harry De Puy and Miss Armitage then donned aprons, and a race insued to see who could wipe dishes the faster. ' In the wee small hours of the morning the return trip began, and, although the rain came down in torrents, they finally reached home in safety. SOPHOMORE-SENIOR RECEPTION. Although, sad to relate, it rained on Friday, April twenty-eighth, this did not prevent a large crowd from at- tending the reception given on that night by the Sopho- mores to the Seniors and Faculty in the Ben Hur hall. The hall was beautifully decorated in green and white, the Sophomore colors, and in white roses, the flower of the Seniors. The following well planned program was given, after which light refreshments were served and dancing enjoyed: Faculty Stunts Sophomore Silhouettes Bun-eating Contest Piano Solo--By Miss Stevenson, of lllinona. Farce-Entitled The Man From Brandon. Senior Class Prophecy. Spook Dance. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION. On May twelfth, at eight-thirty o'clock, there gathered at the Maennerchor Hall, a large crowd of Seniors and Faculty, all expecting to spend a delightful evening. Nor were their expectations unfilled. A guessing contest put everyone at their ease, after which parodies were given, and a farce, entitled The Juniors. Then everyone went to the basement of the Presbyterian church, where a de- licious supper was served. After the banquet, those who wished returned to the hall for dancing. l. 1i CLASS DAY. As, at the time the Annual goes to print. no plans have been made for Class Day, nothing definite can be stated here. But judging by the past success of the Seniors as hosts, it may be taken for granted that something not only delightful and entertaining, but also novel and original, will be given. -97 SN M KZ Z fifim X.

From the standpoint of games won, the past year can hardly be considered one of the most successful experienced by the High School athletic teams. That more games were lost than won can be accounted for largely by the fact that a largeer number than usual of exceptionally strong athletes graduated with the class of nineteen-ten, making it necessary to develope more than the usual number of new men for this year's teams. The football season was redeemed by the splendid game against Fairmount High School, that strong team being decisively outplayed on their own held before a large Thanksgiving day crowd. The basket ball team also made up for several defeats by achieving a signal victory over Rochester High School at Rochester. . Since the primary purpose of athletics is to afford sport and recreation to the participants, the number of games won and lost is hardly a fair test as to the success of the season. In fact, the tendency in a majority of the larger schools is towards the abolishment of interscholastic contests and the substitution of inter-class andother forms of intra-school sports. The High School Athletic Associa- tion should devote a larger share of its influence to the en- couragement of intra-school games, since such games offer an opportunity for participation by many more students, and the financial burden would be much lighter and better distributed. , The Athletic Association has had a prosperous year, having the largest membership of recent years, and ending the year with a snug balance in the treasury.

' The football season of 1910 closed with a record for Peru which, leaving out all consideration of mere victory and defeat, showed the growing ability of the team. The first half of the season was a series of defeatsg but little else was to be expected, for the warriors were handi- capped by new material, lack of preliminary training, the absence of a coach, and in two games several of the players were laid up with injuries. However, during the last half of the season they showed their real ability. The players and students alike seemed to understand the unfavorable circumstances and strove hard to overcome them. The victory over Galves- ton was probably the most noteworthy achievement. All through the season the squad dispalyed manly and sportsmanlike spirit, and by so doing won not only for themselves a brilliant reputation as true sportsmen, but succeeded in establishing an advanced reputation for the team of 1911, which will be composed of this year's line-up, with the exception of Haas, Nelp and Graves, the three graduates.

The Peru High School Basket Ball Team for the season of 1910-ll. considering its many hardships, made a very creditable showing. Unaided by any coaching what- ever, it was the only team to defeat the Rochester High School team on their own floor. Rochester had one of the best teams in Northern ln- diana, and was considered by many to be the best in these parts.. But they easily fell victims to the superiority of the Peru team, and although unfortunate in some of the other games, it was here that they showed their basket ball efficiency. All members of the squad must be commended for the zeal and tireless efforts which characterized their work during the entire season, for they were at all times subject to many disadvantages. For the entire season the Basket Ball men were con- strained to do their own coaching, for on noteven one night did a coach appear on the floor to aid them along any lines of basket ball. On the contrary, the greater majority of our opponents were fortunate enough to have a college man in igheir faculty, who could and would instruct them in the fine points of the game. ' It was for this reason that we were handicapped, but in spite of all this the basket ball team of last season was one of which any High School could justly feel proud. LEVVIS E. HAAS. Name.

Fo it was decided to have two teams chosen from the students. The idea is to interest the students, and to give an opportunity for more students to play. The two teams are to play a series of games to decide the championship, and the faculty has decided to dismiss school a half hour early on the days the games are played. I ' Friday, April Zl a meeting of the baseball candidates was held, and Paul Daniels and VVillie Nelp were chosen as the managers' of the teams. The players will be named after their favorite players in the big leagues, and the teams will be called QU The Americans and Q21 The Na- tionals, and if a third team is organized from the remaining players it will be called' the Q35 Associations. The two squads as chosen are as follows: QU-Nationals. Q25-Americang, COI'I'6ll H335 Burnett Lawrence Miller Thompson Ausphal Phillips, C. Harris De Puv Sf1'21H9.l13.H L.

Shadinger Petty G0l'd0H Kocher Coughlin Bradley Faust Nelp Stutesman The series will probably start Friday, April 28, with Burnett and Lawrence pitching for teams 1 and 2 respect- ively. 4.9 .X X L i f f .

Geves took his last horse from the old brick E building a t the corner of SiXth and Broadway the edifice has been used as a knowledge factory and a store house for books. Since the High School has vacated the place it might again become a horse palace. But such is not the case, it will still be a ,knowledge factory but not indeed a store-house for books, for Harry West SL jesse Stevens will occupy the building with their book store. The place will still be a knowledge factory, for those who do not already know it, will become aware of the fact that this is THE BOOK STORE OF PERU It will no longer be a store- house for books, as West and Stevens' stock is not the kind that must be stored but the kind that sells quickly and must be replenished often.
