Never have her says much but we word that she thinks a lot of- well, now, we really can't tell you. A strong and energetic suifragette who will no doubt be a great leader in the cause. She has always been first in the Senior class irolll. Tc ,, N ggwa 3 I U .Ag W 35 A537 ' wi WILLIAM ARMANTROUT He with the laughing counte- nance and drooping eyes. But he is cold-hearted, girls! Have- n't you noticed that he always has his coat collar turned up. Still, if the right one-. Bill enjoys the enviable record of being the only person ever promised half a credit. Made a great noise as barker in the Senior Circus. STELLA BERGMAN Stella made a great hit as the snake charmer in the Senior Circus. But all know her pow- ers in charming things iboys in- cludedl. She has rollicked and frollicked through her entire course and a postscript. She is often wrongly charged with be- ing a book worm, but this is all because the seats are arranged alphabetically and she sits near the front.. OMER BOND Rather given to sign his name C. 0. 'B. to remind him of the country where Remote from towns he ran his godly race, Nor e'er had changed nor wish- ed to change his placef' C. Omer has had the audacity each day to hold up the Winona Flyer and compel it to bring him to school. xwJwwwwMw:.-:law , 'n z.a-4M:a:v---- -. ,Y we ...- a....s Q iss if .S . iz -2I J J DONALD BRIDGE A hard person to cross. Be- ware! He is older than he real- ly looks, being twice selected to play the father in class plays. His hair may look like a musi- cian's, but we know better. We know Donald Ulysses to have a reputation with the faculty as an artist, simply because he has drawn a curtain before their eyes. MAUDE BROWN Maude grew old in a night and young in a morning, but it was only because she was a. widow and a mother in Sweet Laven- der. She has been the source of quite a number of ideas for various class entertainments, besides working hard in other lines for the good of the class. Her usually angelic temper is sometimes broken by a tempest and theni EDNA BRUBAKER One of the liveliest phono- graphs, for its size, ever seen, having broken all known non- stop records for talking. As a general thing she poses as a student, for she is continually thinking, She is reported as having a severe case with-well, secrets aren't in order, but in slang we might say, He's a. Dick. KATHERINE BRUNSON Quiet and unassuming: tall and divine. On the whole not much given to talking, but her rippling laughter expresses a lot of thought. Ripples are usually shallow. We might describe this smile but it doesn't start, it just spreads. Notice: Up to time for the annual to go to press Kate has developed no love affair while in H. S. Tend- encies point to the breaking of a record. ' A M X gr .Wax-t:.-rf - , -sm-:J-eff -' - :.-.ae...e.w,..W.2.nn...........,f........fis-mg-E V is ' . 59 'fQ.,,f.-- il?

Girls, it will pay to be nice to him, especially for the coming sum- mer. Guthrie has had a hard time convincing the teachers that he really could read Latin, but at last has conquered. He is a strong adherent to our class motto as a result. MARY COCHRAN Since Mary is very easily of- fended, we must exercise great care in writing this sketch. However, she has proved a faithful worker, showing great zeal when the Bill comes round. Mary worked up a nice trade as photographer at the Senior circus and we are sorry to see that she has given this up to become a milkrnaid. EUGENE CORRELL Eugene is the Senior rail- roaderf' In practice he always railroads through his classes, even permitting himself to be sidetracked once in a while. 'Gene couldn't play baseball this year so the authorities decided not tc have a team. Mr. Mohler and he have been running a close race to see how few hair- cuts are necessary. Eugene is one haircut ahead. HARRY NAUGHTON DE PUY Harry Naughton has a partic- ular liking for room 20. He may positively be seen there two times a day and usually of- tener. Harry is very talented as a speaker and reader, often even reading Whole composi- tions from a blank piece of pa- per. He was never able to col- lect the required number of credits until he took a. position as solicitor in the Peru Credit Exchange. Hail, the conquer- ing hero comes.

Has been generally characterized in all annuals as a flirt, but all who know her realize that this is a mistake. An energetic class worker, whose work might easily be seen by a review of past entertainments. MARviN ERB A good consistent worker, more firm in character than the rock of Gibraltar and as reliable as you can find. He never likes to volunteer to Work, but if hard pressed Will do so. Experience has proved this. He has in him the stuif that men are made of and has high hopes along this line which we hope to see grati- fled. GLADYS FAUST Gwladyss is a worthy rep- resentative of the class in all its qualities tgood or badl. The luckiest person in school, for she is never known to study. Why the mere sight of a book might--might-well, words can't truthtully express the result. Though it may be tragedy to read her name, she abounds in mirthful humor and such a thought as tragedy, even Ham- let, is far from her mind. NELLIE FISCHER Needless to say, she inherits her father's musical ability. Coupled to this she has the re- markable faculty of usually say- lngthe wrong thing at the right time, being in this way a great help to the Annual: Nellie help- ed make the Senior circus the success that it was. ERB? QiS.Sil.S...wi2f'QQ15 9 f I I ESTHER FOY Quite unlike her relative, the comedian, Eddie Foy, Esther is rather quiet and sedate. Nat- urally, with characteristics like these, she has always been will- ing Lo work for the good of the class Cand herselfl. Also her continual silence makes her a valuable asset in a Senior class meeting. HELEN GRAF You all know Helen. Helen, who arrives before, with, or after the little bell tinkles. When before, her countenance is naturalg when with, smiling, but when after, flushed and frowning. Helen has been known to remain at school dur- ing the noon hour for the pur- pose of being near several boys who also remain. Also for the fact that she lives rather far away. ISABEL GRAF Isabel has the same trouble with the little bell that Helen has, for the simple reason that Helen and Isabel are usually to- gether. By actual CID count, Isabel has failed in daily recita- tions but nineteen times in four years. Once -dare we disclose this secret-Hush!-Isabel had five off in deportment. But so did everyone else. HOWARD HARRIS Howard is our all around ath- lete. He can play anything from che s to a jewsharp, in- culding football. In the latter game, he, as Half 'Back Harris, is usually associated with Cap- tain Miller. I-Ie is a confirmed ladies' man and is always in the lace for almost any of them. f ' in he R e Q -'25 X, J J 5' uw., N A. .,, ,,VA ,, gf' M . , ' ESTHER HURST i Esther is the ablest politician in the Senior class. She has already decided, however, to have nothing to do with Wo- man's Rights, preferring to mar- ry a man who is easily influ- enced to her own ideas. We would suggest-but never mind, Esther has a mind of her own. She came to P. H. S. this year, having had her iirst three years at Macy. RUTH HOFFMAN The only direct descendant of the Puritans that we have in our class. Prim and modest and quiet. she has aided greatly in raising the general average of the class. To Ruth, one of the mos: regrettable facts of her H. S. course was that she had to laugh, not smile, for she has a constant smile, but laugh at the Senior circus. RUTH JONES To show the practical side of her character we might state that Ruth, with no more Domes- tic Science than is now taught here, makes the best fudge ever. When it is particularly good she brings it to 'school to the detri- ment of deportment grades. She has already decided to be a slum worxer, but has yet to ask my mother. DOROTHY LOCKWOOD Dorothy enjoys the record of being one of the most original girls in the class. She often shows this when a. sudden ques- tion interrupts a dream. A pleasant companion and a zeal- ous worker. Being of a cheer- ful disposition and always wear- ing a welcome smile, she has become one of our most beloved and honored classmates. iaaaf i ss so so i is ss o s 1 . 1 w we .D :ze ' ' n V, V, IVA MARTIN This dark-haired, black-eyed young maiden we all look up to as our tallest, most stately look- ing young lady in the class. Iva is of such a disposition that she is always ready to be in any class doin's Whatever. It is this kind of a classmate that makes school life all that it should be, a time of study inter- spersed With fun. ANNIS MATTHEWS Anuis made the most charm- ing aunt ever seen on the local stage. Smiles, smiles, all smiles -nothing but smiles tand smilesl. She is our athletic girl and has won and maintained great fame in this role. There's no chance, boys. Annis is in the habit of receiving letters, writ- ten in red ink, from some-one. CON MILLER Con has gotten through his High School course with little or no trouble, principally be- cause he early acquired his growth and retained it. A jovial, good-hearted lad, who stands six feet six, more or less. Is a great athletic star, using this ability to aid him in dancing, his fa- vorite sport. Knows every song that ever was sung and some- times persists in singing a few. CALVIN MOHLER Had he been named Socrates we could have recognized him. Some poets are born and others made, but Calvin is one of the first class. But honestly, now, he is our one and only chem- istry star. All others are like burnt matches beside him. For some unknown reason he per- sisted in graduating with more than the required number of credits. fMf'eW:,m F ge-N g N H f ..,s:rs'rzmf:u'suQ s.s:amsaua':mu-:swataswgzvrs-nrzmvfww1smf-ft-1,m.-sp1w mmws-Mwwmwaswwmfwxwmxnanwi A .I 1 L ' Y, 'E A sf, i ,ugwif , f,,gf,,hg 7 V' J Z xg f U i .

Mlm -27 W9 v' if OSCAR MOORE Savonarola!! No, it is only Oscar, another of our brilliant young sages. A quiet, thought- ful boy whose greatest delight was in entertaining the chem- istry class and instructor in tell- ing something entirely new, which neither knew. When in- spirations come' to him, regard- less of studies and school, he must work them out. MARY MOYER A calm, quiet, good-natured girl who has had the good luck to remain in H. S. for five years. Mary is always in for a good time and believes in the prin- ciple of a good time first and then, perhaps, study. This sys- tem has never failed to work. ROBERT NASH Our Baby Brother is a happy, easy-going young laddie, who is a lover of Physics and a jovial companion. He has just received a postscript in the addition of long trousers. We must re-name him some time. He is the youngest in the class, being but sweet sixteen when he grad- uates. GLEE NICODEMUS A quiet unassuming student, who knows the value of hard work and believes that much noise does not always indicate much effort. She can leave the school without a single memory of any unladylike act on her part. Not a dig or a grind, but the kind that usually has her lessons. 5: : J-Lg, i n .Y+2W.vfx,..aYM'-4.4ncs..vM-aeffzfi---A'-fW.,.'-ewan.-.-.., ' -i, 1: m ia: Mm ' .V .1-,,. ,.,,, - F h 5?

Harriet would be a profitable adventure to any boy. Why, she has even been a Prophet for two years. She is all at sea though, for although she has gazed into the futures of others, she has never seen her own. RUTH NYCE Here, ladies and gentlemen, is an awfully Nyce girlg one who is in for all the fun there is and then in favor of hunting up some more. Her favorite color is Red Isn't this rather odd for one so pure, so simple, so quiet. Ruth is a star in Chemistry, either on account of her untiring efforts or her in- fluence with Mr. Horner. EARL PHILLIPS E. E. enjoys the lovable name of Smiler. Sometimes, when he is exceedingly sly and crafty, he is called Spider. Earl Ed- ward is the one and only lady fusser in the Senior class. His extreme delicacy and finesse in operation is almost second na- ture to him. We predict an early and happy marriage. Further, we dare not go. GRACE RAY We have at last solved the secret of the brightness of our Freshmen year. Grace was there. As she passes out of High School life, she requests that she be applauded only soft- ly. She is mode t, and the sound might startle her as in Chemistry.

John Craig has asked for his pound of flesh o often that he has accumulated almost 250 of them. He has but two life ambitions, one, to lose several of the accumulated pounds, and the other to place a sim-dial out- side the building so that he can always tell whether he is or is not late. ASENATH RODABAUGH Peru is only Asenath's adopt- ed home. Her foreign accent fChi1iJ has frequently gotten her into inextricable difliculties, es- pecially when she has been dreaming of-sh! We mustn't tell stories, now that she is out of school, but anyway it is ru- mored that-no! no! we just can't tell, but she is going to- well, it must come out-to be mayoress of Chili some day. PAUL STRANAHAN 4'Stranie is the Senior Beauty Doctor. He served creditably in this role in Sweet Laven- der. He was also manager of the. football ,team and as a. fac- ulty member did most of the work, this position just suited Stranie. In his Freshman year it is said that he was a victim of that dread disease studying, but with great effort he cured himself and is now, on the leisure list. MARY STUTESMAN The prodigy of the Senior class. Her grades kept getting so high that the limit had to be raised to accommodate them. Mary was Lavender in Sweet Lavender and in this role won the hearts of all who saw her.

Besides twice being our class president, Noel has for nine months born the heavy burden of being our Narcissus editor-in- chief. However, with all his work he was always present when there was anything doin'. 'i MAMIE WARD The doll of the class has made one of the most remarkable poets ever possessed by a Senior class. Shy and bashful and reti- cent, Mamie has won the ad- miration and respect of all. Of- ten during the afternoon the oc- cupants of the building have been wakened by her ear-split- ting shrieks coming from the Chemistry lab. 1 HAROLD CARL WALLACE H. C. is one of those sly, crafty politicians who always look out for number 1. As a result he was the All Sorts edi- tor of the Narcissus and the holder of quite a few other of- fices. He greatly objected to having his department called the Grinds department, as it sounded too much like common labor. , :vm f f M V- :fwf in-A W- Q t W are M' f 'swf f' - . r . ff, gt LJ i GSR Eli 'f ' v J . 5 Mfg-i -V -- ft W W' '4 ' A ef ' .5 M- Q mmm .7 W, J , N 4 N , 40221, fm' .

' 5 AS I SAW THEM IN THE FUTURE 'fu CLASS PRoPHEcY Mfr wif ll One dark and gloomy night I wandered on a lone and dreary highway. Suddenly a terrific storm arose. At first only the low rumble of thunder could be heard in the dis- tance. Then suddenly the whole sky was lit up a vivid Hash of lightning, which seemed to to have rent the whole skies as it flashed from one end to the other. This was fol- lowed by a terrific crash of thunder, then another flash of lightning. This strange phenomena of nature continued ex- actly forty-five times and then ceased as suddenly as it had begun. Scarcely had the last echo of thunder rumbled away in the distance when right before me there arose out of the mist a strange little hut made of a filmy gray haze. I had barely touched it with my hand when I fell in. Here I lay trembling and frightened, fearing to open my eyes. When I did so I saw a queer little man made of dazzling brightness bending over me. He told me his name was Fu- ture and that it was the privilege of only a very few to make his acquaintance. To gain my release from his hut I had to swear absolute secrecy to all I had seen or heard there. As a parting gift he gave me a queer little kodak, telling me that some day I might be able to use it, for it would explain a hidden mystery, but could only be used once and then all its power would be gone. Now one day I had a great longing to see all the mem- bers of my class, so I determined to use my strange little gift. I carried the kodak to a quiet and secluded attic and hung up a sheet just as this queer little man, Future, had told me to do whenever the time came when I wished to use it. I opened the kodak and was sadly disappointed, feeling that my gift had lost its charm. Slowly I began to unroll the film when suddenly such a noise and babble of voices as I had never heard before filled the room. I looked up and there on the sheet I had hung on the wall, a great file of women suffragettes, headed by Mary Alspach, filed past, all shouting, Vote for Mamie VVard, our candi- date for Presidentressf' This strange talking and moving picture vanished as quickly as it had come. I turned the film again and another scene took place. The room was Hlled with the lusty voices of a great chorus of men, all singing Ach du Lieber Augustine, and sure enough there was Bill Armantrout, bald-headed and fat, but still wear- ing a shiny black tie embroidered in Greek letters, leading the Maennerchor. I turned the film on, much pleased with the success of my strange kodak, for it was revealing to me, not exactly the futures of my classmates, but showing me what they were doing at just this time. By the next picture I was much horrified, for there I saw a ten-story building and from the topmost window a man, whom I recognized as Harold Wallace, threw a long thin human body, and as it hit the sidewalk with a thud I saw that it was Smiler Phillips. At that moment Dorothy Lockwood stumbled over a pin on the sidewalk and fell around the corner just in time to see Smiler fall, long and lank, at her feet. She shouted up to Harold asking him why he would thus harm her Smiler. He answered that he was trying his latest scientific experiment for he had tried everything to fatten -33 ... f , we ...,,m..N.,,...,-....,.s,.,nwMW...-. ,........... ,.-.,., :W-..,..,. .W ss.- ,,wr g is fi . . . , f Www. ,Wg rf .

I had alwaysknown we would hear Moore of Oscar and the next picture showed him in front of a side show on the circus grounds, calling in a hoarse voice, Ladies and gentlemen, step up and see this wonderful Blonde Phono- graph--talks all the time, never runs down. The people all filed into the tent and then the chatter broke loose and I knew at once that this Blonde Phonograph was no other than our High School Chatter Box-Edna Brubaker. The next picture came on the screen. There I saw the interior of a Timid Ladies' Home. Glee Nicodemus was playing the violin accompaniment for Guthrie Carr, who Was President of this home. Very close to them sat Mary Moy- er, a prim and dignified chaperon. There was a rap on the door followed by the entrance of Calvin Mohler, who wore the badge of an officer of the law. He asked the chaperon to accompany him while he looked up a case. Mary replied that she had one right here and couldn't leave because Glee was so timid that she would not even accompany a man on the piano without a chaperon. I turned the film on, this time the picture was that of a Catholic church, around which crowds and crowds of people were gathered, all straining their necks and looking to the top of the cross. At last I could distinguish a tiny speck on top of the cross. Slowly it began to move downward, lower and lower. At last as it neared the earth, cheer upon cheer burst from the throats of the crowds as the agile steeple-jack, Craig Red- mon, descended. As the film slowly unrolled another pic- ture appeared. Now I saw the interior of a great and Hour- ishing overshoe factory. The room was crowded with spec- tators who were watching the human machine, for there sat Annis Matthews chewing with all her might and main -34 Jai-'igww the rubber that was to be made into gums. I always knew Annis had a taste for gum and was happy to see her en- gaged in her favorite occupation. The next picture showed a busy blacksmith shop where I saw Mary Stutesman, a be- nevolent looking elderly lady, wearing a sunbonnet and a gingham apron, busily engaged shoeing horses, while her husband, Paul Stranahan, was shooing Hies. By the next picture.I saw a stand on a crowded thoroughfare of some city where Grace Ray and Gertrude Wise were selling matches and magazines. I was surprised by this, for I thought Gertrude was too Wise to let Grace aid her in this work because a Ray might touch the matches and they would go on a strike and the magazines would explode. I next saw the interior of a large hospital, with Helen Graf and Maude Brown as head nurses. just then the door opened and a doctor entered very much excited. He said there had been a serious accident. A Bridge had fallen, one of the main supports having been broken, and the nurses were needed at once. The door opened again and two men came in carrying the broken Bridge, for Donald had his leg broken. The next picture showed a brilliantly lighted dance hall. Behind the palms I saw a touching scene. Con Miller was kneeling at the feet of Asenath Rodabaugh, holding a diamond ring which might have served for a headlight on an aeroplane. just at the critical moment he gave one of his usual earthquaking sneezes- the ring exploded and the picture vanished in hot air. By the next picture I saw a flourishing girl's school. Isabel Graf was matron and seemed to be very strict, for she would not allow any male on the premises, so she ar- ranged to have a woman mail carrier. I saw her toiling up the path under the heavy weight of the bag on her back and recognized Esther Zimmerman, who I suppose is well Mgg, iam, ,HW ns fwamgfw-w..w1ac.w.eer,fzs.f.WMa:.ma,,, , W.-.wma m-,auazaawaz,...-m..w,n:i,:.-...g..44..',i .,..,,.. .zwnafaafm-. .g. 114.1531-a we ' f ':rwaa ,, , : ,.- .'53,r V I 1 WK glib?

As the film un- rolled it displayed the interior of a Bachelor Ladies' Home, where I saw a most daring daylight robbery. Calmly seat- ed in the sitting room knitting, in time to the bobbing of their cork-screw curls sat three bachelor maids, Esther Foy, Iva Martin and Ruth Jones. Three shrieks of terror rent the air as three figures crawled from under the lounge, but three happy maids they were when the robbers tore off their masks and revealed themselves as Robert Nash, Omer Bond and Marvin Erb, who confessed that they had come to steal nothing but these three maids' hearts. So all ended happily. The next picture shows an office and there Noel Unger, as handsome as ever, is seated. There is a knock on the door and Nellie Fischer enters. She asks Noel to be Presi- dent of a home she has founded, for Lame, Halt and Blind dogs. With only a little persuasion he accepts. She has scarcely gone when Esther Hurst enters. She is very in- dependent, declining the proferred chair, but asks Noel to be President of a club she has founded to promote the wel- fare ofthe Street Sweepers. He gladly accepts this office, as we all know he had a great attachment to the office of President in his High School days. He again settles him- self at his desk. when another shy, retiring lady enters whom I remembered as Ruth Hoffman. She asks Noel if he would like to be President of the Ladies' Aid Society, and Noel gladly accepts this office. just as she leaves, the door opens again and Katherine Brunson comes in and asks him-why he doesn't come home to supper. The next picture showed a vast Arabian desert and how strange, for there under the broiling sun was Stella Bergman, taking each grain of sand and counting, He loves me, he loves me not, while behind her in the distance was a whole caravan of lovers patiently enduring an end- less wait, all hoping to be the lucky one, for Stella, by counting each grain of sand, hoped to find her true choice. Alas, I am afraid they will all grow old ere the task is fin- ished. The next scene was a rural one. Down a peaceful coun- try lane I saw Lorna Dresser and Mary Cochran jogging happily along in an old rusticated cart selling buttermilk. And up and down the road for miles I could see the carmine complexions of all the ruddy youths gazing down the road, waiting for their arrival. Moral: Buttermilk maids should be heard but not seen. My film had now nearly unrolled itself, but still another picture came. This time is was the ofhce of a chiropidist and to be sure enough there sat How- ard Harris, our old football player, still in his favorite pastime, taking care of other people's footballs. Next came the rooms of a Beauty Parlor conducted by Gladys Faust and there I was not a bit surprised to see Eu- gene Correll, whom I had always expected to take up some kind of railroad work, in full charge of the Switch Depart- ment and also altering Ladies' Trains. Now came another talking picture. I saw the interior of a butcher shop, the property of Harry De Puy. I had always expected him to finish the career he had taken up in High School, that of a comedian. Now when I saw him here busy at his bloody work, I supposed he had tired of his own jokes and by be- coming a butcher was learning how to cut them out. But in a few minutes I saw that he was the same old kidder. The door of the meat market opened and in rushed a very excited customer, whom I recognized as Ruth Nyce. Her complaint was that her husband got so red with mortifca- tion, this morning, when he found a piece of rubber in the -35 J'2l?'1 '4'4 -J x e 44'4 K '.f':Y', 2.- . lm MW...

And then I saw that Harry's tongue had lost none of its cunning, for he replied, My dear lady, in what did you boil that sausage? In water, of course, Ruth answered. Then how could you expect a high class dog to stand in water without rubbers on. With that the picture vanished. As this picture rolled away I understood the meaning I of the mysterious storm I had witnessed on that memorable night when I had received this little kodak. Those: streaks of lightning, which had numbered just forty-five, were caused when this strange little man, Future, had taken the flash lights of the future of the class of 1912, and thus I had seen a picture of all the members but one, which I did not turn on the screen, that of HARRIET NYCE. : Z- .

The actors all seem rather well pleased with their parts but they are not entirely satisfied, for good actors seldom are. They came upon the stage at the beginning of the first act, timid and afraid, ther objects of laughter to those actors more familiar with, and greater skill in, similar drama. But as the act wore on they gained confidence in themselves, and proved able and glad to take their parts, so that, at the end they were not laughed at, but called really nice Fresh- men, even by those august actors, the Seniors. When the second act began all were ready to watch, to criticise, and to praise. But the criticism was all friendly and the actors were glad to receive help from those who knew. The actors have worked hard to improve and make good in everything. They are starring in oratory, athletics, and class work. The actors as Sophomores are good fellows and jolly companions. And step by step they are striving for the goal so coveted by the actors of this drama, The Successful Senior. -LOIS TILLETT, Historian '14. 74' '3' X9, lf'C -52 tr ,f 0 'x I ,fr . A H Ag F C 1 - .

Although it is true that some of the members of this honorable class of 1915 were accused of getting lost, it was also noticed that some of our life-long enemies, the Sophomores, were likewise wandering about. However, within a. few days the members of this Freshmen class were thoroughly initiated into the workings of the P. H. S. Early in the school term the class was organized and we at once began making our honorable record. Under the leader- ship of Dale Welch, our football team, by winning twice from the Sophomores and playing a tie game with the Juniors, won the inter-class football championship. At the end of the first semester the Freshmen class had the best attendance and tardy record. When the Parliamentary Law class was organized the Freshmen made up the largest part of the membership and was well represented on the list of officers. . The unparalleled football record of this year could not have been made without the aid of the athletes furnished by our class. Thus our history is Written. With such a record, made while we were only little, unripe Freshmen, imagine what a glorious record we will have by the time we, too, are staid and reverend Seniors. -FRANK PARKHURST, Historian '15, ff? 58- yy 1, L7 gx ' xx I f XF X ' XxXN I 5 7 '47 Q xlwigj' , ff! , W 1 W' f M J . , f 1f , 7 N if 1- W 'X 'X ff f 'WF W fL.i?qQa,P'iNl'1'aE5g5M! f Wigefvjj 4 w R -Tl WX! if K , ' X Q H -T-N ..,..:l M11 W wf ff 'ff' 'wa-5535! i:'l5l: 5:- , fy-ifyjj ' W-Q . 4.

WATKIN S October 10, 1911. Early in the school year we were treated with a speech from our old friend, Mr. Watkins. Mr. Watkins is travel- ing for the American Book Company and in this role is able to appear several times each year. Being so intimately connected with so many good books he is able to give us the best thoughts of them, mingled with many of his own. Mr. Watkins chose as his subject The Early Life of Wordsworth. This subject appealed to him strongly be- cause of all English poetry, he liked that of Wordsworth best. In addition to this he has visited the scenes of Words- worth's boyhood and has felt the same romantic atmos- phere that influenced the poet so greatly. Starting with a description of the birthplace of Words- worth, Mr. Watkins told in a simple manner all the things that happened to Wordsworth in his youth and showed us how the romantic scenery must have inliuenced the poet. His talk, interspersed with numerous quotations from Wordsworth, was of great interest, especially to the Juniors and Seniors, who will later take up the poet's life and works. Mr. Watkins promised to come again in the near future and continue his talk. -60 REV. J. C. HAYS November 13, 1911. The next speaker we had during the school year was the Rev. J. C. Hays, of Argos, Ind. Rev. Hays, who has been blind since childhood, divided the subject of his talk between blindness and religion. . He greatly aroused our sympathy for those who had lost their eye-sight by bringing up before us the many beau- tiful things that we could see, which he has never seen, and then he told us about the many wonderful things man has done for the unfortunate blind. He showed us how the blind are educated by the means of raised letters and then read from a Bible with raised print which he carried with him. In this Bible he could find any chapter and verse that was suggested to him. g He then told us something concerning his early life, his education, and his present life. He said that he had always been happy and that he was going to spend the rest of his life in helping others to Z1 better world. Spending some time on religion, how to live, how to be happy and how to appreciate the wonderful things we have in this world, he lastly recited to us a little poem entitled The Merry Hearted Blind Boy, which he had written, using his own life as the theme. MAEDIRUS K. DYER December 19, 1911. One of the most interesting talks of the year was made by Mr. Dyer, an Armenian. Mr. Dyer had received a good English education, both in Turkey and in America, but even then has found it difficult to master the English pronuncia- tion. His talk, thus filled with strangely accented words, was largely on the present day condition of Armenia. He gave us a good, but brief, history of his country and then proceeded to relate the difficulties of education in that place. Interspersed with this were related some of the trials he went through in order to master our language and some of the difficulties he got into. He spoke in the eve- ning at the Christian church. PROFFESSOR WILLES February 6, 1912. Our next noted speaker was Professor Willes, who has made a special study on the subject of physiognomy. Physiognomy is the science of telling the characteristic qualities of a person by an inspection of their outward ap- pearance, especially by the inspection of the features. Commencing with the general shape of the head, he told how a head that was high in front spoke of the learned person, while one that was low in front and high in the back was, as a general case, the dunce. As to the forehead, the broad forehead strengthened the prediction of the high front and the narrow forehead was the know nothing. Speaking of noses, he drew on the board a number of va- rieties. Prominent among them were the Roman nose, the hook nose and? the baby nose. As he endeavored to explain the influence these shapes have on character he from time to time drew references from such men as Na.- poleon, Washington or Wellington. Elaborating carefully on the pug nose he soon had almost every one stealing glances at their neighbors to examine that person's nose. Next in order came the position of the head and shoul- ders, explaining the character of the person who hangs his head and lets his shoulders droop as that of an idler. After this he gave an example of the various ways of walking, observable in men and women and their influence on char- acter. On the whole this was a very interesting lecture and, perhaps, valuable to some who heard it. MRS. GEORGE ECKERT February 20, 1912. Mrs. George Raymond Eckert, a lyric soprano, was in- troduced to the student body by Mr. Fischer. After a few commonplace remarks to the scholars in general, Mrs. Eck- ert made ready to sing. Her husband, quite a talented pianist, played for all of her songs. She sang in all, three songs, each more difficult than the preceding one, but all of simple emotions. Her sweet voice, charming personality and perfect enunciation endear- ed her to all. She seemed to have unlimited ability to ascend to great heights and in the next instant her voice was as sweet and melodious as it seems possible for any human voice to be. THOMAS BANCROFT Mr. Bancroft addressed the school on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, an act of which he was an eye wit- ness.

Out of the six games played, we won three, lost two, and one resulted in a tie. With the possible exception of Wabash High School, all the games were scheduledi with strong teams and state championship contenders. The Huntington and South Bend teams had all-state men in their line-ups. In practically every game the opposing team outweighed the Peru team and in the two games lost this excess of weight was at least twenty pounds to the man. This is simply evidence that our team was not one of great bulk and physical strength, but one well drilled in the rudiments of football. The team was late in organizing and with little time left in which to practice, Coach Philip Leffel proceeded to develop a great football machine. The boys, with Captain Con Miller for a leader, were enthusiastic and willing. Nat- urally with these factors-an able coach and willing stu- dents-nothing else but success could have been the result. Some idea of the strength of the team may be gained from the fact that our victory over Wabash High School, a 56 to 0 victory, was the first in the football history of the two schools. This team also gave us our first victories over Winona Academy and Huntington High School. The squad consisted of eighteen men, twelve of whom were awarded P's. Naturally, some of the men showed greater football ability than others, but all were essential units in a combined entirety. One of the team, Clifford Parish, was chosen by a prominent football critic a mem- ber of the second all-state team. The same authority gave Harry De Puy and Howard Harris positions on the third all-state team. May it be said that our successful football season was due, not to one, or two, or three particular stars, but to the united efforts of the whole squad and the efficient coach- ing of Mr. Leffel. May the 1912 season be even a greater success. U Q01 1 'llllf :AQ , -64 Athletic Association OFFICERS President . . HARRY N. DEPUY Vice-President . ANNIS MATTHEWS Secretary . .

Basketball '10'-11 'P' -ew ,,,.....MW 1 The Schedule VVARSAWY On the 7th of October Peru played her first game at XVar- saw. Considering last year's record of 19 to 5 in W'arsaw's favor and also that VVarsaw was much heavier than we were, and that they had already played one or more games, the odds were much against us. However, cheered on by the efforts of nearly thirty girls, who had journeyed to lYarsaw in a motor truck, We were able to gain a virtual victory from a O to O score. But once or twice during the entire game was the Peru territory in any danger. When the hnal whistle blew, Peru held the ball on XVarsaw's three-yard line. Line up Peru Warsaw Mahany C.

Parish, our star end, was unable to go, so that Unger was shifted to his end and Harris was taken from his end to half-back. Bridge played left end. Culver was much heavier and considering the condition of the field which was a sea of mud, the Peru team did re- markably well to hold them to three touchdowns and a drop kick. Through all the nrst quarter Culver was on the de- fensive, working hard to break up Peru's plays. All the scoring was done in the second half. A Culver player in- tercepted a forward pass to Harris and ran thirty words for a touchdown. The other touchdowns were made in much the same manner, that is they were accidental, no reason appearing for their occurrence. During the last two quar- ters of the game the ball see-sawed back and forth, neither side having the advantage. Score: Culver, 185 Peru, O. HUNTIN GTON October 28th Gur first home game was against Huntington, October 28. It was only by strong urging that the managers could be coaxed into scheduling this game for Huntington was stronger than they had ever been and had one all-state play- er in their line-up. It was with much trepidation that the spectators viewed the opening quarter, but within five min- utes the aspect changed. Erehardt, the all-state man was, in that interval, dropped in his tracks time and again. He was never tackled by a lone player, for either both ends or one end and the secondary defense hit him at the same time. He was compelled to call time out several times. The ball wavered back and forth near the center of the field through all the first quarter. In the second quarter Unger intercepted 3 forward pass and with splendid interference from Shafer and Mahany, made the only touchdown of the day. During the last two quarters of the game Hunting- ton's goal was threatened a number of times, but the ball was never nearer than the five-yard line. .1411- XVABASH. Peru defeated Wabash and did it well while they had a chance for the first time in the annals of P. H. S. athletics. The final score stood 56 to O. Wabash was unable to gain a yard through the Peru defense, while the Peru backs were discontented at a gain of less than five yards. The Wabash line was unable to stop the line plunges of the backs. In fact the backs seldom stopped until the secondary defense was reached. Little scoring was done inl the first half, although sev- enteen points were run up. In the third quarter twelve more were added and, as a climax, in the fourth period, twenty-seven rolled up for the total of 56. The number of touchdowns were as follows: De Puy, 35 Unger, 33 Harris, lg Stutesman, 23 Parish, l. Goals kicked: De Puy, 6. SOUTH BEND November llth The best game of the season, the game in which the fellows showed their true metal, was that with the Red and Tan of South Bend in the enemy's camp. NVe lost the game, but we won a victory, nevertheless. W'e were vic- torious in showing the up-staters how a well drilled little football team can play a strong, clean, sportsman-like game from whistle to whistle in the face of great odds. Consider- ing that South Bend had met and defeated the strongest teams in northern Indiana by scores the least of which was 17 to O, and that their team was at least 25 pounds to the man heavier than ours, and that the game was played on their Field with 500 rooters spending every effort to boost them to victory, and that on the morning of the game our boys had to arise at 4 a. m. and then spend five hours on the train, considering these facts, the wearers of the old gold and black did remarkably well and won a great vic- tory in holding the opponents to a score of 12 to O. Even this would not have been the final score had the referee ex- ercised just a little impartiality. Time and again did he penalize the wiry little Peru fellows and not once did he question the playing of the big South Benders. No scores were made in the first quarter. In the sec- ond session Cassidy, after tugging and squirming through a small hole in our line, carried the ball fiveyards for a touchdown. The second touchdown, which came a few minutes later, was the result of a well executed forward pass and then a few precipitations of human mass against science. After that the Peruvians braced more firmly than gav age 2 35 5 5.2152 ever and never again were the opponents in danger of scor- ing. In the last quarter the Old Gold and Black warriors gave a beautiful exhibition of their gameness and ability as a football machine. After gaining possession of the oval on their own 30-yard line, they carried it by consistent line plunges and forward passes to the Red and Tan goal line. Another down and De Puy placed the ball fairly over the line. The referee refused to allow it and we had to con- tent ourselves with a final 12 to O score. WINONA ACADEMY. Winona Academy with a big reputation and a big heavyq' team came to Peru on the 25th of November. The day was cold and windy so that punting was erratic. Peru managed to keep slightly ahead of Winona in the number of yards gained. However, it was not until the third quar- ter that any scoring was done. Harris, who was playing quarter-back squirmed through the Winona line and de- fense, running forty yards for a touchdown. The goal was missed, leaving the score 5-0. The game ended in a disap- pointing manner when the referee and umpire could reach no decision about some important point. Winona refused to play longer and left the field with two and one-half min- utes of time left to play, forfeiting the game. -72 THE SQUAD P- NAME rosmou WEIGHT YEQJEASN 'l9ul'fn3AifaEs Miller, Capt.

As there were over forty members, the class was divided into two sections, each meeting two evenings a week. Owing to the lack of a gym- nasium, the room in the basement which was originally in- tended for Domestic Science, was used. The course consisted of marching, Swedish and Del- sarte exercises, folk dancing and wand drills. However, owing to the heavy pressure of school work, the class had to be discontinued the second term. Thd girls feel that much praise is due Miss Stiles and Miss Hoffman for their efforts. In spite of the fact that the work had to be taken after school hours, and the fa- cilities were not the best, the size of the classes and the enthusiasm of the girls go to prove that a regular course in gymnastic exercises is among the real needs of the High School.

The house was dec- orated with oak branches, jack-0'-lanterns and the class col- ors, gray and cardinal. l Among the revelers were four, who upon close inspec- tion, were found to be Juniors. They were immediately escorted from the house by a policeman. It was a good old-fashioned party, the entertainment consisting of fortune telling, ai guessing contest, hunting a hidden pumpkin and the like. Apples, popcorn, brick ice cream and ginger-bread were served. The guests ,departed about eleven o'clock after spend- ing a most enjoyable evening. JUNIOR MASQUERADE PARTY The Junior class entertained at a masquerade party October 30, at the home of Esther Dawson, on North Dukes street. The class met at the home of Mary Daniels and went to the Dawson home! by way of the cemetery. There they were met by a ghost who escorted them the rest of the way. The yard was decorated with jack-o'-lanterns and the house had all sorts of Hallowe'en ornaments, besides trimmings of the High School colors, old gold and black, and the class colors, green and white. There were various stunts and a contest to identify the maskers. Afterwards an old witch -B0 in a tent told fortunes. The refreshments consisted of ci der, ginger-bread and pie. With few exceptions, every member of the class was present, several arriving late, how- ever, having first attended the Sophomore party, which was also a masquerade. All present enjoyed the evening. SENIOR CIRCUS On Saturday evening, March 23,,the Seniors enter- tained the faculty and the caste of Sweet Lavender at a circus, given in the High School. The guests, who came arrayed in freakish costumes, were met at the door by a policeman, Omer Bond, and a clown, Marvin Erb, and were ushered into the lower hall, which was decorated with im- mense circus posters. After all the guests had arrived and had become ac- quainted with each other, they were taken to the upper hall, at one end of which was a nigger-baby rack, and large tubs of red circus lemonade and at the other end Os- car Moore posed as the African Dodger. In the different recitation rooms there were various amusements such as the Trained Spider C Spider Phillipsj, the Brazilian Bat fa brick bat j, the world's famous snake charmer fStella Bergmanj, Madam Spaghetti, a reader of the future CRuth Nycej, the two greatest tumblers Qtwo glassesj, and a pic- ture taken as you wait establishment conducted by Mary Cochran and Gladys Faust. However, the greatest stunt of the evening was the African Minstrels CEmil Schram and Will Nelpj. For 1 ,.Af ' ,g fi if i itii bA . 'Y' imwsaw... fi? forty-five minutes these dark 'personages entertained the crowd with thein witty remarks and marvelous singing. After the minstrels, lunch was served in the Domestic Science room. The color scheme was lavender. The room was beautifully decorated in lavender ribbons and great bunches of wisteria. The ice cream and candies were also of the same color. Last of all the races and grand parade were given. The three-legged race was won by Harold Wallace and Don Bridge, the faculty fracing backwardsj by Mr. Horner, and the potato race by Annis Matthews. In the grand parade, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, who were dressed as a fellow and his best girl, won the first prizes and Harriet Nyce, a col- ored 'Liza Ann, and Craig Redmon, Old Farmer Hiram won the second prizes. HARD TIMES PARTY On February 23rd, the boys of the junior class, not to be outdone in hospitality by the girls, gave a Hard Times party at the home of Russell Fischer, in honor of the junior girls. All of the guests were dressed in 'fHard Times style. Patches and ragged clothing were the most-. noticeable fea- tures of the costumes and great fun was had over the ap- pearance of each person. After the reading of a comical story by one of the boys, in which the Juniors were the characters, they were served with a lunch consisting of cider and doughnuts, for which the boys apologized, saying that nothing better could be expected at a party like that. After enjoying themselves for some time longer, they were agreeably surprised by be- ing taken into another room, where a delightful lunch was served. The guests departed in the wee hours of the morning, the girls saying that the boys' were excellent en- tertainers. SENIOR-JUNIOR RECEPTION On Friday evening, May 10th, a jolly bunch of juniors and Seniors gathered at a hall for the annual junior-Senior reception. An indoor picnic had been planned on the sup- position that the usual stiffness of class entertainments would be done away with. The plan worked wonderfully, for, within a short time everyone was at his ease and en- joying one of the best times of his life. The girls had entered into the spirit of the occasion by requiring gingham dresses of all who attended, while the Senior boys with equal spirit and an endeavor to help the celebration, wore white hats with blue bands around them. Another feature of the evening was the minstrel show indulged in by different members of the junior class. After the picnic a dance was given which lasted until early in the morning. SENIOR-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Senior-Sophomore party was given Friday even- ing, April 19th, in the Ben-Hur hall, and was greatly en- joyed by all. j The hall was decorated in the colors ofiboth classes, -Bl --,- 'W Qs.. .. r-...,W.-:saw-M-.. ,,-,,.,.. , ..e:,.... -M W.. ..aw.,......-T , , - -,, .,a.l.ms..mv.mfrwwww.um..Mw wg 'li fp ' .

' N - with the Senior colors predominating. Along the sides and at one end were large white pillars capped with ferns, and festooned with sweet peas. Between the pillars swung great masses of the Senior colors. The chandeliers were made of great bunches of red and black poppies-the Sophomore colors. A unique play, Wanted, a WVife, was given as a com- pliment to the Seniors. The class prophecy was read, giv- ing a most promising future, graphically outlined. A big game followed this, which, for lack of a better name, was called the Family Stuntf The orchestra played while an elegant two-course luncheon was served. A Senior doll in cap and gown, in a mass of violets, was the centerpiece for each table. A favor in form of a Senior cap was found by each person, at his plate. A dance, in which the girls were given the privilege of choosing their partners, formed a fitting conclusion for the real Senior Party. i1i- SENIOR TRUCK PARTY The Senior class, represented by about half its mem- bers, journeyed in an automobile truck to Robert Nash's, at which place a supper was served. All met at Helen Tower's and waited for some time for the truck to appear. Despite the fact that it rained in torrents and that the truck decided not to run all the way through a mud puddle, 'and that the engine balked, the house was finally reached. All were, of course, very hungry, but after a delicious supper, their spirits rose and numerous games were played. The truck started home about midnight and happy to say arrived safelyf -B2 CLASS DAY Class Day was celebrated by the Seniors on the 22nd of May, at the First Presbyterian church. Approximately one hundred and five persons, representing the faculty, juniors and Seniors, were there. After all had arrived, the first part of the evening was spent in reading the Senior class prophecy and in singing the two class songs. As is the usual case, the Hrst efforts were rather weak, but gathered strength. All these occurred upstairs in the Sunday school room, but now the guests trooped downstairs. Here they were met by a wonderful sight. Two long tables ran lengthwise in the room. Over them was! spread a lattice work of green, supported by green poles from the middle of the tables. Qver the lattice work and draped about the poles was Alabama smilax. Around the posts of the room was wrapped black and gold, blue and white crepe paper, carrying out as nearly as possible the colors of all present. During the banquet which was next served, class songs were repeated and other ones sung. All enjoyed the ban- quet immensely. Afterwards all were entertained by the responses of various guests to toasts. Noel Unger served as toastmaster and the following persons responded: Frank Stutesman, Evelyn Yund, Mr. Mohler, Harriet Nyce, Miss Wilson, Paul Zimmerman, Alice Kramer, Calvin Mohler, Maude Brown, Mr. Gordon, Earl McCoy and Donald Bridge. After the toasts a number of quotations about the Juniors were read by different members of that class. Then the party broke up and all who wished to dance went to the Engineers' hall, where they enjoyed themselves until an early hour of morning. 4 I Qi. 2 ,, Y Y-4553 'lx -. ' fd: 'T X - .

I had lain there hidden for ages, longing to be released and ful- fill my mission in the world, but day by day I waited in vain. . At last one day I heard the principal of a certain school announce that the Senior class might publish an Annual. I could contain myself no longer for I knew of what use I could now bel and how all important I would be in such a project, so I swelled and swelled till at last I burst the bot- tle and fiew out. For several months I wandered from place to place, but could not find the place I sought. I wanted to go straight to the heart of this Annual, for without me I knew it would be a failure. One evening at dusk I found myself on a dreary, lonely path. I was tired, wandering so aimlessly, so at last I lay down discouraged. Near midnight I was roused by a creak- ing, followed by a low moan. It seemed to come closer and closer. I shuddered each time I heard it, for it seemed to come from a human heart which was being crushed un- der some heavy burden. At last I saw a figure tottering towards me,-I hardly knewl whether human or spirit,-an old man bent nearly to the ground by the weight of a heavy sack strapped to his back. His face was ashen gray and covered by the lines of discouragement. I thought here was a chance to do my work, so I followed him. At each step I thought he would fall, as he grew weaker and weaker. A faint light appeared in the distance, towards which he made his faltering way. At last we reached the place, a small -84 tumbled down wooden house. As the man opened the door and went in, I determined to watch him. I-Ie closed the door, Hung his heavy sack from off his back, opened it with trembling fingers, looked in, and with one last groan of dis- couragemenfj fell to the floor in a limp heap. What could be the cause of all this suffering? I flitted about trying to find a place where I could see more. Soon I fould a hole in the roof. I looked in-and oh, what strange sights met my gaze! The room was divided into four compartments. In the first sat a company of wise old sages around a dust covered table. Before each lay a blank sheet of paper. In their hands they held idle pens, and then I saw they were all asleep. The walls of the room were covered with many stories and rare pictures of art which fairly set me on fire, they were so full of interest and imagination. I thought to myself, why, do these men sit idle, hunting inspirations by dreaming, when right at hand there are stories which if they would only open their eyes long enough to discover, would fill page after page of any book. In the second room there seemed to be a great white, filmy mass of something filled with such a medley of things that at first I could make nothing out. At last it was all clear to me. This was just a huge spider web, while caught and entangled in it in every conceivable way, so that escape was impossible, were all sorts of clever ideas, illustrations and every variety of fun which, had they not been so slow and sleepy as to become entangled in such a web, spun by a silly, weak spider, would have been the real success of any Annual. I glanced into the third room. There hung a huge cal- endar, covered with numerals, but they had all slid from their places and were falling and tumbling to the center in 2 ft I' ss ri i . if W52 ? ?3Q5 WE... a heap, part of them stood crooked, others upside down, but to every numeral there clung with the greatest tenacity tiny specks which I could interpret as happenings and events, clinging to numerals, which if only righted and assorted would have made up the events of a complete school year. I now looked into the fourth room, where I saw the queerest sight of all. In one corner a most peculiar football game was in progress. The heads of eleven good looking fellows and a handsome coach were all there. But, how strange! They were all placed on the bodies of limp rag dolls and when the quarterback called the signals instead of a spirited rush into the game, they all toppled limply, with loosely hanging arms, against each other and fell in a soft heap, only a bunch of poor rag dolls, while all the time, the great record it was possible for them to make was blazoned in glowing letters on the walls, casting a glory over not only the athletic department, but over all four rooms. Now I realized what all this meant. These strange sights, united, represented the four departments of the An- nual. The first room the Literary and Art departments, the next the All Sorts, then the Calendar and Athletic de- partments, while the aged man was the spirit of the Annual itself. They were all there with the very strongest of all possibilities, but lacking the main thing-Enthusiasm. Without hesitation I flew in and suddenly the whole house was filled with a blaze of light, the aged man sprang up full of life and vigor, with such a spirit as I had never seen be- fore, the wise old sages began writing in such a manner that sheet after sheet was quickly coveredg the All Sorts room displayed such a scene of bustle and activity and fun that shrieks of laughter filled the air. The numerals on the calendar fairly danced into place, till they formed a com- plete and glorious record of events, while the football game began with such a rush of strength, skill and swiftness that they made an unparalleled record, worthy to be chronicled with pride in the Annual of 1912. ' Seeing how my presence transformed things, I remain- ed, and now you may know why the Annual of 1912 was the greatest of successes, for it found that one essential thing- the great Spirit of ENTHUSIASM. -HARRIET NYCE '12, THE STORY OF A GARDEN By Mary Stute sman. Once upon a time, long ago, a man who was very fond of Howers planted a garden. He planted it in a fertile valley where it might be protected from the burning sun, heavy showers and strong mountain winds. In the autumn he placed in it his favorite flowers, the modest violets, sweet lilies-of-the-valley, fragrant red roses and tiny blue forget- me-nots. But early in the winter he decided that the gar- den was incomplete, that one flower was lacking, so in the center he planted a single narcissus. It seemed rather late to plant such a delicate flower, but the others, and especially the violets, smilingly promised to protect the narcissus and lend it their strength. There was in charge of the garden a gardener and a manager, and every day they might be seen passing smilingly from flower to flower. As the winter days passed, the violets, lilies, roses, and even the forget-me-nots, forgot their shyness and became strong, vigorous plants, but the narcissus rose above the ground only to wither and die away.

Each morning the gardener visited all the flowers and said: Flowers, remember your promise. Vlfhy, the spring days have almost come and the narcissus is scarcely above the ground. The flowers smiling, nodded their heads, but as soon as the gardener left them they for- got their promise and became engrossed in their own af- fairs. Thus the winter passed. The Easter season was here, and it was time for the narcissus to be in bloom. For the last time the despairing gardener had implored aid from the flowers and as usual they had thoughtlessly promised. As usual he had begged the manager for new soil and the man- ager had answered with his customary reply, VVhy, man, it can't be done, it is too expensive and besides we haven't time. Remember, tomorrow we send the nareissus away. That night a storm swept over the valley and the frightened flowers, huddled together, repented of their un- kept promises and with their entire strength supported the struggling and swaying narcissus. The next morning a warm April sun shone upon a perfect flower. As the years passed, the other flowers died and with- ered away, flrst the violets, next the lilies, then the roses, and last of all the forget-me-nots, and the gardener planted other flowers in their places. But through the years the narcissus held its place in the center of the garden, and stood as the emblem of loyalty, patience and untiring effort. -86 THE QUEUE By Arline Hann. Long, long ago there lived a man and his wife who did nothing but quarrel and sometimes, I am sorry to say, fight. However, it was generally a one-sided quarrel, as the wife always had the last word. One evening the man left home and did not return un- til almost morning, when on opening the door and seeing his wife's anger, he turned yellow from fright. His wife caught his ears and pulled them until his eyes were drawn long and slanting. Not satisfied with this, she pulled his hair until it was so long he had to braid it and let it hang down his back. It is the common belief, especially by hen- peeked husbands, that this man was the Hrst Chinaman. fall, gli? lid I J 1 Z fp' WW TEM cra. a ... e e e e fwwia - A RACE FOR FUTURE By Noel Unger. To jack Harmon, the train crawled, nay crept, its scant thirty miles to Georgetown. He lidgeted, he paced the aisles restlessly, he gripped the arms of his grimy seat forc- ibly, he even pushed in a vain endeavor to coax the train to move faster. One hour before he had been studiously at work in his room at Forest Prep., preparing a trifling lesson in physics, when- Telegram, sir, announced a messenger boy as he ruth- lessly broke in upon a review of Charles and Boyles laws. With feverish excitement Jack tore open the envelope. With an exclamation of wonder, of dismay, he tossed the boy a coin. Then with hat in one hand, coat in the other, he rushed from the room, for North Hall clock gave him a short five minutes to catch the train home. The message had frankly stated that his father, an au- tomobile manufacturer, was expecting financial ruin. With the prize offered to the Winner of the Georgetown Sweep- stakes he had planned to tide over the approaching disas- ter, but at almost the last moment his racing driver had suf- fered a broken arm in cranking his machine. If the ruin came, jack would not be able to remain in school. The in- stant Jack read the message he had reached a decision. If he were to remain in school the race must be won. Now he was on his way to personally win the victory. Relentlessly the train crawled on. It stopped to take on water. It changed engines, but at last was forced to carefully approach the Georgetown station. Jack was al- ready at the door and had left the train before it stopped. His home was but a short distance away, yet he chose the longer route to the factory. Here all was deserted, the well known whir and grinding of machinery was silenced. No busy workmen rushed from place to place as they formerly had done. Within the office all was quiet. The stenogra- pher and clerks had departed. Only .lack's father was there, disconsolately gazing at the floor. With a cry of joy mingled with disappointment, father and son met. Questions followed from either's lips. Sud- denly the father started back in fright. Immediately he be- gan to expostulate, to argue, to threaten, but to each re- monstrance, each argument, each threat, Jack had a ready answer. Reluctantly, step by step, his father gave in. jack had won his point, but he had yet to win the race. Without change of clothes or thought of food he Went at once to the racing car and commenced work. With at thorough knowledge of the parts of the car and with the help and suggestions of the displaced racing driver, he man- aged by weary, tiresome work to have the car in shape, all tuned up, but ,untried before midnight. X vk Pk ak wk Pk HK :sf :sf :sf With an unheard thud the starter's hand descended on the driver's back and car number l, was off with a racket and roar. Thirty seconds later, the second car was off. To jack, nervously fingering the force pump at his side, the crowd, the attendants and all, were but one confusing mass. He saw only the prize and his father. In a daze he felt the sting of the descending hand and was off, seventh in a field of twelve. His big blue car was hidden in a cloud of dust. His vision cleared. Far in the distance he could see a red car, number 6. He must overtake it. More speed and more speed, but to no purpose. He was on the fifth and last mile of the lap before he could pass and leave behind that pul- -87 -..,.,...w ,..,,.,,. .W was . M . . - ,-.-- .. - --h - - e ' s dia i R 4 Q. rt ...S M M .

He swept by the grandstand without seeing it, sixth of the twelve. His thoughts, as the cool breeze rushed against his face, became cooler and more collected. He settled down to a swift, though reckless pace. A glimpse, a streak of color, and he had passed another car. W . X X N N 4 X how if i f fi 'i f f K i tv 'i'i fl 4 Se . T5 'e f rx ' aku v if RQ Qi?

He threw caution to the winds, and gained. He shortened the distance to the 'car in front, he ran side by side with it, he gg.. passed it. Only three ahead of him. Through his head ran the warning of the racing driver, Watch the yellow car. But it was too far ahead now to even see it. He must get closer. Faster and faster, closer and closer. A lap passed, and another, and yet the two remaining cars kept ahead. He lost a tire, luckily near the tire pits, and consumed precious seconds acquiring a new one. However, with greater confidence in the steady, never hesitating throb, he flew on. He even drew near, along the side of, ahead of, a few feet from the second car, yet he lost this advantage on the next sharp turn. jack watched his chance and as the turn straightened out, forced the car to its limit. He passed with a grim smile. With the ten thousand dollars, his father could open the factory and he himself go back to school. Perhaps that was why, when in the last lap, he with full speed, drew alongside of the yellow car, number 2, with tears dimming his oil-stained goggles. The grandstand could be dimly seen in the distance. Jack drew up even with, ahead of, when with a burst of hitherto unused speed, the other car pushed ahead, across the line. He carefully slowed up. What would he do now? Must he quit school? Must his father fail? He dully shook hands with a few admirers. Why should they congratulate him? Even until his father came, he was ignorant of the reason for their praise. His father clasped himi by the hand and wept silently. Then all be-f came clear, his mind responded. He had been seventh with a thirty second handicap for each car. With his handicap he had won by nearly three minutes.

WHAT THE WAITERS HEARD By Donald Bridge. The large triangular shaped palm garden, with its forty rustic tables, saw-dust Hoors, beautiful decorations and ,many palms, was a haven of refuge for one suffering from the heat. Even when the beach was found too hot, despite the cool lake breeze, The Garden with its sides open to the air, was a place where comfort :night be had. lt was 2:15 o'clock in the afternoon, The Garden and its surroundings were in a state of peaceful composure. A dozen young fellows with short, clean, white aprons and black satin coats, lounged about with their snow-white tow- els thrown over their shoulders. Three of the younger fel- lows stood joking with the pretty cashier, the men behind the fountain were idly polishing glassware, and the musi- cians, in the front of The Garden joked among them- selves. One elderly fellow, dressed in a more conspicuous waiter's garb than the others, wandered aimlessly about, in- dustriously dusting the tables with his towel, as he looked at a crowd of young ladies, obviously from Chicago, who were passing. As he passed the three young fellows at the cashier's desk he cast a peculiar look at them and proceed- ed upon his pretended industrious labor. One of the fel- lows, a striking boy of possibly eighteen years of age, rather tall and slender, and wearing both a pair of glasses and a broad grin, followed the industrious individual from table to table, always carefully slapping his hand over an imag- inary grain of dust and flipping it from the table with his fore-finger, much the same as if he had been on a Hy-killing crusade. An occasional customer strolled into The Garden, gave his order, either verbally or by a wink, to one of the waiters, and idly ate and drank. But suddenly a deep, penetrating, almost death- foreboding whistle sounded, the sound rolling up the river from the lake. Immediately the scene changed. VVithout a word everything was transformed into a hustling place of business. The industrious individual, as well as his I I fff xgbf, f csrfia , , gpg? dl ff. , rj jr ff f' A , ,f h , 0, grinning imitator, forgot their foolishness. The waiters hurried about straightening chairs. The fountain men hur- riedly a1'ranged their material, and the musicians got into their places. The cab men in the street jumped from their cabs or auto-buses to crowd for a place near the door of the large yellow building beside The Garden. A glance into the street showed a line of automobiles, cabs, and auto- buses over a square ini length. People shoved and pushed while the policemen worked to keep a path clear from the door of the docks to the street. Up the river the cause of -B9 ' lo , W- .. . anna, -5-L-amwswsn, --- . the excitement glided, her calliope playing a popular song, but in a peculiarly mournful way, and the crowd on her decks waving handkerchiefs to friends on shore. As she docked, the hurrying waiters lost sight of her, but the streams of people issuing from the door of the large building and the deafening shouts and persuasions of the cab drivers informed the people in The Garden that, She was in, and the thousands of pleasure seekers, direct from Chicago, were landed. Immediately the orchestra in The Garden started to play, the comedians stepped out to sing, and the crowds streamed into The Garden as the first available place to spend their money. How the waiters hur- ried about taking orders, shouting them to the fountain men and delivering them, balancing their trays on three fingers, swinging them with. the music and dodging people at the same time! How seemingly courteous the waiters were, but such a mystery was easily explained by the frequent slipping of an extra dime or quarter to the waiter. It was soon seen that as much rested with the waiter's ability to work these tips from his customers as in his ability to de- liver that which was ordered. The waiters seemed to have a code of their own, for in response to an order of a crowd, he of the glasses and the grin, shouted, Two 'Pine Nuts,' one 'Gin' and three Roots,' then with a slight turn of his head to the left and a louder shout, Three up. This particular afternoon it seemed, from the first, that the people were more excited than usual, all trying to talk at once of what seemed to be a common subject. As the waiters hurried about they picked up this story, bit by bit, from the many contributors. It seemed that the boat had left her docks at the north- west corner of the Clark street bridge, Chicago, on time, but that she had struck her rudder and had slightly dam- -90 aged the shafts leading to it, before she got out of the Chi- cago river. She laid up a half hour for repairs at the Gra- ham and Morton docks and was ready to leave again when a fast little launch shot up the river and stopped beside the boat. A rope ladder was lowered and a dark handsome man, with raven black hair, scrambled over the side of the boat. He was a man of striking appearance, who carried his thirty years of life easily and with dignity. Repairs having been made, the boat glided from the river into the lake and steered east and a little north. The day was ideal and many of the people stayed upon deck, watching the buildings of Chicago slowly lose their identity and melt together as one indistinguishable mass, which grew finer and finer until only a faint dark streak marked the shore line, which in turn melted into space, leaving the boat and her passengers alone. How swiftly and silently she glided on The swish of the water as the waves struck the boat and- tumbled in rolls of spray and foam, mingled with the laugh of passengers, and the cries of the different venders of dainties, furnished the only sounds. So soothing was it that one felt inclined to shut his eyes and allow the cooling breeze and the melodious intermingling of sounds to lull him to sleep. The boat was about forty miles out from Chicago, and all were enjoying themselves immensely when the dark 'handsome man with the raven hair leaned from the hurri- cane deck to shout to a new acquaintance who stood on the deck immediately below. In some manner he leaned too far, lost his balance, and, with a piercing scream, plunged head foremost into the lake. Shouts of man overboard, and screams from the women, together with the sounding of the alarm bell produced great excitement. People wildly threw life-preservers into the water, but, by the time the ,N was if 5 boat was stoppd the man was a quarter of a mile back, struggling for his life, his raven black hair rising and falling with the waves. A life boat was loweredg with four strong members of the crew at the oars. Loud cheers arose from the passengers as they saw the boat strike out bravely for the spot where the black hair was seen to rise and fall. But the cheers were suddenly transformed into one common groan. The life boat had capsized and left the four men WEE? f 1?s f , T-,A fu ,Z 519- f . cd 5 X . 54 ' sf ' , L.. ..

Another boat was lowered and the four men, with great difficulty, were saved. A third life boat struck out for the drowning man, but arrived at his side only in time to hear him weakly cry, My God -lo- sephinel and to see his raven black hair disappear below the waves, never to rise again. So the boat proceeded, ploughing its way on and on, through the waves, until a hazy line presented itself in the east, which gradually grew into sand dunes, as if by magic. Finally buildings became distinguishable, a light-house loomed up, a deep, penetrating, almost death-announcing whistle, the sound rolling up the river, and the boat glided up the river, her calliope playing a popular song, but in a peculiarly mournful way. However, the thoughts of all, from the stokers in the engine rooms, to the pilot at his shining wheel, and from the wireless operator in his cabin, to the passengers on the decks, were not upon the famous summer resort which they were entering, but upon a body, lying stiff in death, at the bottom of Lake Michigan,-way, way out to the west and south,-beyond all hopes of recov- ery. So the waiters in the palm' garden caught the story as they delivered their orders and the musicians played and sang the latest song hits, most of which were not bound to reach many small towns until the coming winter. As the crowd thinned and moved on towards the lake, the three young waiters, their dirty towels thrown over shoulders, drifted, as if by habit, towards the pretty cashier and dis- cussed the tragedy of the day. He of the glasses and the grin failed to grin as he mechanically counted the money extracted from the depressed pleasure seekers, but the re- sult of his calculation brought the insuppressible grin again as he announced, Well, I guess I won't work tonight. Here's seventy-five cents commission from sales, and ninety cents in 'tipsj besides the money due T-, looking towards the cashier. That will do for one hour ofi work, even if it was a big rush. That afternoon pretty little Josephine watched and waited in vain for her fiance as the stream of people came from the boat. Other people met their friends and were happy, but asf Josephine waited and waited, a troubled ex- -9l , f pw..

So she stood waiting for him who could never come, until she found herself al- most alone, when she sadly turned her steps toward her her hotel, murmuring, What could have detained him? He never disappointed me before. And I thought I saw his black hair bobbing up and down-among the crowd. MISS DAINTY SENIOR By Claude Hippensteel. Little Miss Dainty Senior was a vision of loveliness as she lay in a hammock under the shade of an old apple tree, dreaming through all the long summer days. Dream- ing of the Prince that was to come riding by on a snow white charger to carry her away to his castle in Spain. Her brain was fed on tales of love of knights that were gallant and bold. Her own humble surroundings were forgotten amid dreams of a beautiful chateau awaiting her across the sea. A life of splendor with servants at her command to do her bidding. She would wear silk, satin, lace and er- mine. Her priceless jewels would outshine every other Grand Dame's at court. Meanwhile her mother toiled away at her homely cares. Patiently filling the place that Destiny had provided for her, knowing full well that her daughter would some day have a rude awakening, even as she had had. She recalled, with a blush, the times she had appealed to the witches of the night to open the book of Destiny and permit her to read what the future held in store for her. ,She had not forgotten the time when she ate the salty wafers and the -92 horror she felt when a villainous looking creature came in her dreams that night, bringing her a glass of water to quench her awful thirst. He was as unlike, in appearance, the man she afterwards wed, as two men could be. Once a snail had traced the initials of her brave Knight to be, but the man Fate had in store for her had an altogether different name. Ah! Foolish maiden with cheeks so fair, eyes of brown, deep wells of thy soul, and those silken tresses of burnished gold, where the warm sunlight loves to linger, dost thou not guess thy dreams are vain? Thou wilt never find the path that leads to a castle in Spain. Thy dainty hands were given thee for toiling-willing servants of thy brain. Glorify thy wondrous beauty by shedding sweet sunshine of love into the lives of others less fortunate than thine own, and perchance some day your real Prince will come motor- ing by and take you to his bungalow on the Wabash. Though his calling in life may be humble, indeed, yet he is none the less a noble man if he has lived his life nobly. As the years pile up, the visionary castles of youth melt away and we learn to know it is Better the toil of fields like these, Than waking dreams and slothful ease.

All the time Mary Munson's Aunt Rachel was ill, Mary was the only one who paid any attention to her. She would carry her flowers, fruits, or other little dainties which could be bought with the small amount of money that could be spared from the slim family purse. Some folks said that Mary must be crazy to go to see that simple old maid, and some said she expected her money when she died. In spite of all the talk and gossip, Mary made daily visits to her aunt's home. She was such a com- fort to her she thought? no one could read just like she, or brush up the house like she could. When dusting around the fire-place she usually said: Auntie, can't I put this! frightful cat out F The old aunt would chuckle and say, No, dearie, I kinder like to look at it. The little baste is lots of company. Mary would never touch this old black Hannel cat that always lay with its fox like tail wrapped about it staring into the fire with its hideous green bead eyes. Undoubtedly Mary loved every living thing in the world but cats, and especially black ones, and more especially this frightful old saw-dust baste. All black cats were unlucky, so she said. She was very happy caring for her aunt, who wanted to pay her, but Mary stoutly refused. Mary wanted some- thing, though, very badly. She had finished high school and was anxious to go to St. Margaret's College, but the money was not so plentiful as it had been, so, reluctantly, she gave up her cherished plans. There were still two months before school and she felt that something must hap- pen before that time. But her whole attention was now taken up with Aunt Rachel, who grew worse. She lingered several weeks, suf- fering great pain, but, under the constant care of Mary.: Mary was grieved, for she had been with her so long and constantly, that she had grown to love her dearly. The 'rel- atives, hearing of Aunt Rachel's death flocked in from all sides for a will seemed more interesting than a sick woman. When the funeral was over and Aunt Rachel had been laid to rest in the little Munson cemetery, the relatives and -93 I a lawyer assembled in the rich hall of her home to hear the will. Everyone looked for Mary to inherit all, but it seemed as if each inherited more than she. Her mother, a poor widow, got the beautiful home with its rich furnishing, but Mary, only an old diamond necklace, the large family bull- dog, and that despised black cat. She could have cried right there in front of those people, not because she wanted any more, but because she hated that cat so badly and her aunt left it to her anyway. At first Mary could scarcely get accustomed to the new routine of things, and she missed caring for her aunt. But in August the days were not so long or tiresome. She was busy helping Jane Pierson, get ready for college and wish- ing all the while that she might go, too. jane was a senior and was going a week early to get her room fixed up and meet the freshmen. Her chums were giving a farewell pic- nic down the river, but it rained. It seemed Mary had only disappointments, her dearest wish, college, shattered, the picnic plans broken, she just burned her arm taking out the bread. Everything went wrong. She was ready to cry when she heard a noise. What was it? A burglar? She rushed into the library, but stopped short in dismay, for Jack, the bull-dog, was barking and tearing madly around. He had her cat and was biting and shaking it. She jerked it angrily from him but something made her turn pale and nervous. She could scarcely stand alone. On the floor around the cat was money. It had been stuffed with bills. Hastily she pulled them out and among them was a note which read: My Dear Little Mary: I leave the cat and its stuffing to you. Spend the -94 money for something you want very badly. This cannot pay for all you have done for me. Lovingly, AUNT RACHEL. At first Mary thought it all a dream, then she danced and sung and played wildly on the piano and laughed and cried in the same breath, for money meant college. There was one black cat that was not unlucky. THE COURTSHIP OF SQUIRE BROWN By Harriet Nyce. In all New England's country side, in village or in town, I vow you would not find the like of worthy Squire Brown, I deem he was a man most wise and handsome to the eye, With powder, pads and paints, his age he surely did belie. For since the Mayflower landed, thirty years had fled, Yet even now this squire, a worthy dame would wed. One winter eve at sundown his fnusket he did shoulder, For who knows but what an Indian might hide behind a boulder, The danger and the turmoil of these times ye all do know, When to the Indian each white man was a deadly foe.

So through the dark and silent village his way he wended, He passed the small church which all the villagers attended. It stood like a dark and silent sentinel in the night, Representing Truth and to the Pilgrims all that seemed right. His heart was beating fast, as down the lonely path he turned, From whence he could see the light which in Cynthia's Hre- place burned. As he drew near the window a goodly sight met his gaze, And he smiled and thought to himself, this venture surely pays. The room fairly shone with its neatness and diligent care, Dame Peet sat spinning by the fireside in a great arm chair. In a large oak cupboard, in neat rows, pewter plates were set, Vlfhich shined so brightly that in them the fire Hames did reflect. The floor was all bare except for a few home-Woven mats, On pegs driven in the wall hung two black broad-brimmed slouch hatsg Their owners were deeply engrossed over a checker-board, brown ale, A drink which in ye olden times was never known to fail. In one corner of the room ticked away the old oak clock, Which would have many a tale to unfold if it could talk. The whole room gave the appearance of great thrift and care, Well pleased, the Squire said to himself, Now my love I'll declare. He stood rubbing his hands while he pictured just such a scene, In a home all his own where Dame Peet should reign queen. When all at once he saw the door open before his eyes, And from the darkness saw the form of Jonathan rise, And right close behind him was-what! were his eyes to him true? For it was no other than the notary, Peter Blue. A SCENE IN THE DINING SALOON OF AN OCEAN LINER By june Exmeyer. The dining room on the May Marie was filled to its greatest capacity and all was going smoothly when after the first course of the evening meal had been served the diners were startled by a sudden lurch of the ship which sent the chairs containing their occupants swinging on their pivots, causing great confusion. One of the stewards just entering, laden with a monstrous tray, fell sprawling amidst the smashing of china and the clatter of cutlery, while the ' E - -95 if If attending steward suddenly tilted the pitcher, which he held, high over the heads of the diners, from whose gaping mouth slid a chunk of ice. It landed on the shining bald head, then slid down the neck of a sleekly groomed, care- fully manicured gentleman, immediately recognized by the characteristic monocle as an English lord who, squirming violently exclaimed, drolly: Deucedly uncomfortable cold ice that, which caused the whole party to laugh heartily. When the excitement caused by the Hrst lurch had somewhat subsided and the meal had progressed one course further, the second mate rushed down the gang-way yelling, We're in for a typhoon. All hands on deck. At this some of the diners jumped from their seats, at- tempting to make their way. from the saloon, but the door was blocked by the stately stature of the old captain, who commanded them to be calm and resume their seats, as the storm would amount to nothing save some tossing and jarring and, perhaps, a few topsy turvy stomachs. So he advised them to eat while they could, while he made his way after the second mate to reprove him for such an out- burst. The party was barely reseated at the table, the china beginning to dance jigs accompanied by the clang and rat- tle of cutlery, when suddenly the room seemed to be ac- tually turning upside down. Everyone seized frantically for anything that came first within his grasp. An Irish- man on his way to the water tank, flinging his arms about in search of some support, endeavoring to grasp the back of a chair, lurched suddenly and fell. When he stood up- right again he clutched in his hand, he knew not what, but glancing about saw that the lady whose chair he had at- tempted to grasp was partly missing. He staggered to her -96 ' and extending the object toward her said: Sure and I don't know, but judgin' from the back of yer head, I guess this is yers, tho' I've niver seen one what comes off. In my country the coleens don't nade the tails of horses or the like they possess some hair of their own. The lady in question, no other than the wife of the lord of whom we have heard before, raising her lorgnette looked freezingly at the bewildered Irishman, who not waiting for her to take her property, poked the switch into her hand and stalked toward the door murmuring, Erin go braugh, Sure, and if I iver git there agin, Divil-a-bit will I lave her ag1n. I The English lady stood stony eyed, amidst the re- strained laughter and suppressed giggles of the others, in spite of the fact that every one was making somewhat of a dunce of himself in various ways. The lady spoke sharply to her husband, Percival, I wish to retire to my room, and Percival meekly rising escorted her thence. When they disappeared from the room a loud burst of laughter ensued from the saloon. But when this subsided the dining table was no longer a scene of interest in its topsy turvy state. All diners passed up on deck or to their cabins to watch the storm or to hide from it. M E1 M . A,AA ,.A . at -N.EiBI.Pf..S.5.Il.? B2 THE CLOCK'S STORY By Relna Thompson. ' Miss Pendulum, I see you are still busy at your never- ceasing labor. Yes, Mr. Face-of-the-Clock, oh, that I might have that prominent and observing position of yours, where I could gaze upon all the interesting sights which daily oc- cur in the English room of the Peru High School, instead of this slow, swinging, monotonous motion that Mrs. Works-of-the-Clock forces me to go through with, day after day and night after night. Well, Miss Pendulum, it is only human nature for each one of us to think that our lot is harder than any one's else, but probably if you cou-ld have my position for just one week you would be willing to go back into your se- cluded place, free from all sounds and sights. Five days out of every week, from nine in the morning till four in the afternoon my eyes look upon the same scene except that the characters are different. Every forty-live minutes boys and girls will come lagging in talking wisely to each other. Each reluctantly takes his seat. The instructor before them opens a small green book and the lesson begins. Name after name is called and still not one recitation I hear which reaches the standard that I think every student of this building ought to come up to. Here a girl leans listlessly upon her hand as if she had not had many hours of sleepg there a boy is yawning and stretching while all the time the teacher frowns upon them and bravely attempts to en- dow them with some of her knowledge, but to no avail. The gong sounds and with a sigh of relief the pupils are dismissed. Oh! that those ignorant and careless beings might have some of the manifold learning that I have ac- quired during these many years, for although I will never have any use for mine, they will need it greatly when they go out into the world. Now, here I am, Miss Pendulum, complaining of my fate just as bitterly as you were a little while ago, but that which I have just related was the dark side of my life. As the saying is, 'every cloud has a silver lining,' so an occurrence has happened in my life which when I think about it seems to cast a bright and shining light upon the rest of my long career. I Ah, do tell me, Mr. Face-of-the Clock, for it may also reflect upon my gloomy life. This incident which seems very interesting and beau- tiful to me occurred in this room, number thirteen, between twelve and one o'clock, on Friday evening, April the sev- enth. It had been a very trying day, both for the teacher and me, and about four o'clock, worn out with my day's work, I fell asleep. I was sleeping very soundly when sud- denly I awoke with a start. Not a sound was to be heard. Then, as if at a distance, I heard three sweet and prolonged notes played by a lonely flute. At first I thought it was the High School orchestra practicing, but again all was silent. I closed my eyes, intending to go to sleep again, when a breeze, which smelled as if it were heavily laden with the scent of arbutus, fanned my cheek and almost lulled me to sleep. But, hark! the most beautiful sound I had ever heard burst upon my ear as if all songsters of the woods had united into one grand choir. The singing ceased. I heard a faint noise in the distance which sounded like the foot-steps of many people. Nearer and louder came the soundg now I could hear singing, now the music of harps. Swift as dreams the room was filled with music and -97 Unfi mciissu 5. 'tariff'-3 3 if thellatest book by a certain young author who was be- ginning to come into prominence. Answering him that I had not as yet,ibut would do so at the first opportunity, he said: By all means do so, and give it the approval you think it deserves. .The literary men know with what hardships and struggles young writers have to contend and it has always been my plan to help and encourage them in their worthy efforts. He surely had realized his purpose, for I knew that many aiyoung and discouraged writer had been helped and his efforts appreciated by Mr. Lowell. One gentleman who had come in rather late, I had not as yet had the privilege of meeting. Hewas a tall, slender man with a high crowned. and finely arched head, but the thing that impressed me most was the simplicity of his manner and speech. His eyes, which were magnificent, seemed to be lighted by hidden fires and his face had a calm but sorrowful look. He did not talk a great deal, yet when he did speak it was in such a sweet and simple manner that he won the hearts of all. Turning to my friend, I said: Hawthorne, who is that dear old gentleman over there P Why, don't you know that's Mr. Whittier, he doesn't come very often, but when he is here we are especially happy and delighted, for we all love him. Mr. Hawthorne himself was more reticent than conversational, but when he did speak many of the best thoughts came from him and his silence in itself was more eloquent than many men's conversation. I noticed that here he seemed a little shy but in his own home, where it was also my privilege to know him, the splendor of his wit and humor was the light of the house. Mr. Longfellow was an ideal host. His kindness and -l00 courtesy were unceasing. He was quiet, benignant and soft-voiced, an agreeable rather than a brilliant conversa- tionalist. His calm, tender and benevolent face was very pleasant to look upon and I am sure that I have never spent a more delightful evening than the one in his home with the great, brilliant and interesting men of the Saturday Night Club.

Club was organized on Febru- ary 9th, of this year, for the purpose of promoting interest in debate and public speaking. It will be remembered that about 1904-05-06 the Peru High School held the Northern Indiana championship in debating. Since then, however, it had died out altogether in this school. Although there has been no attempt made to schedule meets with outsiders, there have been several spirited debates at the meetings oi the club. The interest shown and the talent exhibited by the under classmen, especially, in these contests bids fair to go into and produce a team that in a year or two will be capable of meeting any preparatory school team in the state. The club in its first year has about forty-live mem- bers. HAROLD WALLACE, President. -lO2 Some of the Questions Discussed This Year.

After all your work is over , And you feel a little blue, And somehow you're awfully lonesome, Then you'll wish that you could do Something that would take you Back to school in old Peru.

A Short Story An American Boy left his Farm and Firesidev in a Century in the Dental Era of the Motor Age to go to the city. He left behind him ln his Boy's World a Modern Priscilla, his Youth's Companion. She wept bitterly at his departure into a World's Work but he calmed her, saying, To gain 'Success' in 'The World To- day,' one must be a 'Practical Engineer' or at least a 'Popu- lar Mechanic' for the world is a 'Technical World' So he left on the Railroad and took up 'a Cosmopol- itan life in the Metropolitan city of Hampton, a suburb of New York. As he was very Independent he lived in the Bohemian section of the city, although there was little Good Housekeeping there. However, he shop- ped and lunched at Harper's Bazaar and thus kept on the Sunnyside of Human Life. He procured a position as Bookman of the School journal of the Popular Edu- cator, Mr. McClure, and quickly forgot that he had ever been a Country Gentleman, in his Survey as a New York Observer. Since the Men and Women of Hampton loved Recreation, as did this American Boy, he became a member of the Smart Set, learned to Dress well, forgot his Modern Priscilla and became a frequent visitor at the Lippincott's. As he was a Schemer with System, as well as a good Speaker, he married Miss Lippincott, a Progressive Woman. ' In the wear and tear of the social life that followed, he lost his Health, In an effort to re- -ll2 gain it they went Touring in her Automobile They procured an American Chauffeur and took an 0uting Cut West along the Pacific coast. As he did not im- prove they camped for a long time by a Forest and Stream near a Held of Narcissus Although he had Grit, spent hours at Golf in a nearby city, he nevertheless grew despondent, so far re- moved from his New 'York World. For this reason they left this Suburban Life and continued their Motor trip, returning to New York. Here under the care of a Trained Nurse and by strenuous Physical Culture he regained his Good Health. His Home Life was not as bright as a Wild West Sunset, so he left his Housewife, the Miss Lippincott that was, although he first had some altercations with her Legal Adviser. He had nothing to do but to Travel and had little enough to do that with, for his National Banker had recently failed. However, he went Motor Boatingnr in his Cruiser along the Atlantic coast. Everything and Everybody seemed to be against him, un- til as a climax his ship lost its Rudder and after they reached shore he was compelled to return home Overland via a Freight Accidentally he chose a train that passed through his old town and the nearer he came to it, the stronger the feeling grew that he still loved his Modern Priscilla. For this reason he got off at Munsey, returned to his old love Cwho was still faithfulj and became a Farmer and she a Farmer's Wife. ' Y 'r-'-' K 'W , A 21 l-A ':-g,,1' ' L D'-'K f all .

The only impor- tance they have is their value in securing a diploma. They act as a medium between four years of hard work and a diploma. Credits are one of the causes of the present high cost of living. Sometimes as much as five years of hard work are paid for thirty-two of them, but they generally only cost four years of work. Then one credit is worth more to some people than to others. Some give a total of 75 per cent of their knowledge for one, while others have been known to purchase them at par. It is funny how greedy some people are with regard to credits. Some even get as high as thirty-six of them in four years. Some credits are sold on the delivery by the install- ment plan--one-fourth credit per term. However, no one has ever seen a credit, or will ever any one be likely to see one. They are objects created by the subjective mind. The girls are looking sober, The boys are looking sore, That only goes to show us That the cards are out once more. -II6 SONGS OF THE SENIORS Oh!

M lg smears! igfiaiz W P4 When Kocher Steps Through the Door Our thoughts are likely to wander, And our minds to far regions soar, But matters are quickly righted When Kocher steps through the door. Our joys and pleasures are over, All racket and whispering o'erg The room is all wrapped in silence, When Kocher steps through the door. He gets busy who's just been idle, There is silence where noise was before, And our books for us have new interest When Kocher steps through the door. There is a lull in the audible whisper, A pause in the noise and uproar, And our minds are plunged in our studies When Kocher steps through the door. We may stir up great commotion, And throw things on the Hoor, But many a poor lad is captured When Kocher steps through the door. Then let us all be up and ready, For soon this brief life is o'er, Let us be watching and waiting and ready When Kocher steps through the door. U WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE?

Our beauty editor, Dr. Earl E. Phillips, having had four years' extended practice in the Peru High School, is able to answer any and all inquiries. Earl J.: XVhat can I do to lessen my blushing and bashfulness? Don't worry about these things. It takes most of us four years to get over them, and then we are not always at ease in a crowd. Richard M.: VVhat can I do to strengthen my voice? Your voice is probably changing now. I would advise you to go out behind the school house at three o'clock each day and indulge in some good yelling. Mary M.: I have a dreadful temper. What shall I do for it? I also have difficulty in remembering who my com- pany is for Sunday evenings. -128 Be careful before whom you display your temper. You may be judged by your actions. I would advise you to have either no company on Sunday evenings or to have only one eligible at a time. Miss Alice H.: I-Iow should I act toward gentlemen who are visiting my classes? Never be over nice to any gentleman whom you may meet for the first time. Paul S.: What is your idea of a ladies' man? From personal observations I think it best for you, if you wish to be a ladies' man, to remain as you are. Mary C.: Is it proper to wear a young gentleman's football sweater-coat? There are rules of the Athletic Association laying down certain requirements to be met before the regulation insignia ofthe school can be worn. If you have met these there can be no objections to your wearing the coat. J ' - pf--vw-wwe-11 is ef.

Awkwardness is no sin, my boy, think of me. Do your best to cultivate a walk all your own. This gives one a dis- tinguished appearance. Craig R.: Please suggest to me a good book on Pub- lic Speaking. Wie are not in the habit of printing names in this col- umn. Send a stamped envelope and I will gladly comply with your request. Calvin M.: I have great difficulty in pronouncing cer- tain words in Chemistry, such as bases, Nitric acid and Helectricityf' Please assist me. A good plan would be to first consult a dictionary fits pronunciations are usually considered correctj, and then ob- serve how others pronounce the same words. Ruth N.: XYould it be proper to send flowers to a young gentleman friend of mine who is sick? It would be the exact thing to do. If that young man has ever been a football player he will appreciate the act more than ever. Edna B.: Is it proper to sit on the stair steps with a young man when the lights are out? As a general rule it is not, especially if that young man is a Sophomore. Louis M.: Is it best to wear more than one ring? It is all right if the rings are your own. Never wear rings belonging to more than one person at a time. Vernice R.: Are sandwiches a nice thing to serve at an informal party? They answer very well, but I do not think that one gets the full beneht of the work done in their preparation. A cer- tain member ofthe Faculty may be of assistance to you in this instance.

Miss Mary Stutesman failed to answer one of Miss Armi- tage's questions, Who is the worst poet in the English Language?,' As Mary never missed reciting a day in her life, one mark in the grade book would fail her and she would not get her credit, and not graduate. However, Miss Armitage, coming to the rescue, took out her grade book and called on Harriet Nyce. What is more she neglected to put down a mark for Mary, so she will graduate in safety. EXTRA. President Unger of the Senior class, after hard thinking, de- cided to stay in Peru for some time to come. -I32 High School Burns Last Eve- ning. Early this morning, Miss Es- ther Zimmerman was suddenly awakened. She ran to the win- dow, where she saw a bright light. She expected to see the high school in flames. But the clock just then struck eight, and had she remembered that she just had a dream, in which she had seen the destruction of the high school. ANOTH ER TRUST BUSTED. At present it looks as if Harry DePuy will get all of his cred- its and therefore graduate with the Seniors in May. The fac- ulty have always trusted in his not being able to do so, but their trust has finally been busted. THE GREATEST CRIME ON RECORD. Special Dispatch. It has just been made known that a certain student in Miss Holtzman's Latin class used a pony in an exam. She espied the pony, and what did she do but walk right up the aisle in broad daylight and kidnap the beloved pony. It is given out from authentic quarters that a lynching will follow this out- rage against civilization. A LOST ART. Another item has been added to the already long list of lost arts, in the totally extinct sci- ence of basketball. It has long since died out in the local high school, although repeated ef- forts have been made to revive it in one of the upper classes. No. 23 FOURTH YEAR ANNI- VERSARY TODAY. This being February 29, 1912, Prof O. L. Mohler, of the local high school, got his quadrennial shave. This is always a great as it can only on Leap Year day in his life, possibly come Day. This year the barber will make fifteen cents more than his average yearly income, be- cause of this celebrated event.
