And then we all will scatter, lVhere, only God can tell, But we'll always do our duty And our part in life 'act well. No matter where we wander, Our hearts will all be true, And the Old Gold and Purple will flutter VVith the Red and VVhite and Blue. For four long years we've labored, And as our thoughts go back To many glorious vict'ries On football field and track, In lessons and in class room, In everything we tried, VVe glory in our record, And swell with honest pride. And we lift ourselves up higher, And we ever strive, not dream. For the joy and praise and glory Of the Class of Seventeen. EVELYN BAKER. A Last Word Although the graduates will b: few, So I am told, but hark! There will be, perhaps, a chance for m If I pursue my mark. And though I am now discouraged, Graduation seems afar, Perhaps if I still trust and try, I, too, shall reach my star.

We further certify that at the time this will was made we believe these stu- dents were of sound and disposing mind and memory. CSigned and Sealedj THE FACULTY or THE PERU HIGH SCHOOL. 30 1917 NARCISSUS Senior Class Prophecy VVhen the war ended there had been an universal call for Settlement Work in New York. After spending three years there! I was glad to return to Peru from which I had not heard, nor had I seen any of my friends since I left. Arriving at the C. Sz O. Station on a hot summer afternoon I found no one to greet me, not even a taxi. As I turned to walk down the old familiar Broad- way, who should I see but a young lady at the wheel of a Studebaker Six, and yes, it was Florence Landgrave, my old classmate. Oh, you old dear! Get in! Wh,ere did you come from P she cried. There was so much to say since the class of 1917 had graduated and scattered, we didn't know where to start, but just as we turned the corner at Main and Broadway I noticed a sign, Rev, Byron Brock will preach on 'Hell' tonight. All come! Good music. Special solo, 'Tell Mother I'll Be There,' by Mrs. Brock. Turning to Florence, I asked, Who is his wife ? I had remembered in High School how devoted he was to Lelia Bridges. Could it be? Yes, Esther, they are still as devoted as ever. f'VVell, Florence, I never thought Byron would follow in the footsteps of his father, but say, what has become of all the rest of the class? You know I met Ralph Erb leaving New York for England in charge of the Aviation Corps. I bravely asked him, Are you leaving a family back home? but he said, I am still single, so maybe there is still some chance for me. But where is Everett Walpe? Why he is a barker in the Wallace Shows. You know it always was his one great am- bition. But, I asked, whose modern grocery is that F O that one! Why you know Mrs. Vance, formerly Grace Collins, is running it. Ed left a year ago to go to the war and has not been heard of since. There are rumors that he deserted the army. Grace has taken charge of the business and is doing fine. But, what in the world is this big building? Not a theatre in war time P No, it is Peru's long needed Y. M. C. A., with our old friend Herbert Keyt in charge. Say, did you know that Dick Sampson is Principal of the High School? Through his untiring efforts, theyihave at last secured a mod- ern gym, swimming pool and lecture room. But is Bob McElheny still here F No, he and Paul Miller left a year ago as Civil Engineers and we have heard that they are both married and living happily in the West. Here's where I have to stop to get some meat. Come on in with me and see if you recognize the proprietor. Well, if it isn't my old friend Jerry. He was all smiles as he said, Have you seen my wife, Hazel? She just left in the Ford. True his wife was his old flame, Hazel Stutsman. But, Florence, what has become of the girls in our class ?,' VVhy some have answered the call of their country and are now Red Cross nurses in France. Those from our class who have gone are Ruth Braun, Esther Miller, Helen Griggs, Esther Rehling, Lucile O'Brien, Helen Fornshell, and Anna McElheny. Yes, and Luella Minter is saving souls. She is now Captain of the Salvation 31 NARCISSUS 1917 Army in Young America. I hear the public nearly worships her. Beulah Rush and Zella Carr entered the political world and are both running for Congress from the eleventh district-Beulah on the Socialist an-d Zella on the Democratic ticket. I am afraid they will never be friends again after the election. Emma I-Ieldt, Fay Shultz and Gladys Egloff have married farmers and are managing large farms. But say, Esther, you must see our new store. It just keeps National Bis- cuit specialtiesf' But who owns it? Any one I know ?',' Why yes, Vivien Cowdrey's husband, Leslie Hentgen. I-Ie got his start by driving the company's wagon, and I guess he owns half interest in the store now. Do you remember Virgil Fisher? Well, he took a course in Scientific Farming at Purdue and then left for the West where he owns a big ranch which he is operating along sci-. entific lines. But, Florence, did I tell you I saw Dorothea Burnard in New York? She is rapidly gaining fame as an artist and I was fortunate enough while there to be invited to one of her studio parties. She seems very happy at her work. But aren't there any more school teachers besides yourself ? Why just two more. Lucile King and Marie I-Iostetler. I guess the rest of the class decided they didn't want to be old maids. Please tell me whatever happened to Laurabel Miller and Floyd Brooks? Did they get married ? 'tYes, they got married and are running Lentz's Studio. You must let them take your picture before you go back. It does seem as if our class has entered into all sorts of professions, and is it true, then, that we have a judge and two lawyers ?', Yes, Robert Tillett married his devoted Georgene and they went to Chicago where he studied for the bar. Now he is judge in Chicago and promises to be our next Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. Frank Fuller and Bill Bowen are now partners and have a law office in Macy. Oh! yes, we have a doctor, too. Harry johnson has gained fame and has a very large practice in Denverf' But, my goodness, Florence, it is almost six o'clock. I must get home and see the family. It certainly has been fine to talk over the careers of the Class of l9l7. Esri-IRR Nyce AND FLORENCE LANDGRAW3, 32 ?f3i?

EDWIN A GILLAU M, '18, Junior Class History We, the Class of Eighteen, have just completed the third mile of our four- mile endura.nce contest. Some have dropped out of the race, but there still re- mains a fairly large team. So far we have chosen Edward Griswold, Clarence Welch and Oren Morrissey, as captains to guide this team to success. We have distinguished ourselves in scholarship and athletics. This class wa.s always noted for its pep and enthusiasm. To this we at- tribute largely our victories in the inter-class football contest and in the boys' inter-class basketball game. As Sophomores, we marched off with the basket- ball laurels. We have a track man who took the only first place for Peru High at the Wabash track meet last year. This year he broke the state record for the four hundred and forty yard dash. Our scholarship is exceptional as one will notice in glancing at the honor roll. We do not boast to be an unusual class as far as our characteristics are con- cerned. As Freshies, we were green, as Sophs, we were haughty, as Juniors, we are proud and probably we will be dignified as Seniors. If there is any trouble, fun or work at hand, the Juniors are surely there. We have won all our honors by honest labor and therefore we can appreciate them.

MARY REED, '19, Sophomore Class History On Sept. 13, 1915, ninety-six blithe Freshmen entered the Peru High School. In February, 1916, thirty-two new students enrolled. VVe, as Freshmen, lacked the greenness characteristic of most freshmen classes and soon adapted ourselves to our surroundings. As Freshmen, we were an active, energetic class, capturing honors and gain- ing an enviable reputation for ourselves. The ofhcers of our Freshmen Class were: Edward Griswold, president, Mir- iam Waite, vice-president, Hartley Nash, treasurer, and Katryna Van Mater, secretary. The officers of our Sophomore Class are Robert Butler, Katryna Van Mater, Miriam Waite and Nellie Baughn. As Sophomores, we have maintained the record established as Freshmen and by our Senior year it is to be expected we shall have attained great things.

The Freshman Class In September, 1916, Miss lVilson was again occupied with the task of start- ing one hundred and thirty-four verdant Freshmen on their arduous journey towards graduation. They were inexperienced in the routine of High School and consequently made some rather ludicrous blunders at first. But they were quick to profit by experience and soon were passing from class to class with the bored look commonly worn by the more sophisticated members of the High School. When they finally became accustomed to the change, their grades rose to a good average and the class as a whole has done satisfactory work throughout the entire year. Their athletic efforts also have been worthy of note, there having been Fresh- men players on both the football and basketball teams. Neither have they neglected the social phase, for shortly after Christmas they gave an entertainment for the class members in the Public Library. Soon will these Freshies add final laurels to their brilliant career and be- come omniscient Sophomores. FRED WJXLTON WEBB, '20 Historian. x 48 1917 NARCISSUSE ri fn-f-Nrxf-no.

Now this young man did not study diligently after the evening meal but went to moving picture shows. And it came to pass that there was an examination in the Peru High School and this young man knew not much and was exceedingly fearful, but he escaped flunkage by the epidermis of his organs of rnastication. Now this young man saw the error of his ways, and he spake out in a loud voice and resolved mightily, saying: Verily, verily, I say unto myself, nevermore will my graceful form and handsome face be seen in the Victoria or the Isis. But I will carry my books home every evening and will study them diligently as our learned principal hath conimanfledf' And he left off speaking and was silent. On the first day and also on the second did the young man keep his reso- lution, but on the third day, certain evil persons of the Senior class did beset him round about and tempted him saying: lVe have here tickets for the Isis theatre, buy of us, buy of us. And he bought many tickets for many of the sellers thereof were daughters of Eve and them he could not resist. Night after night the young man was seen at the Isis and his books remained unopened. And again the Examination time drew near and again was the young man exceedingly fearful. But this time he knew even less than he had known before. And the end came. And the sheep were separated from the goats. And the sheep were promoted and the goats were not. And the young man was the goat as he was forced to work yet another semester for his promotion. Prize Story. W1r.1.1ixmr BOWVEN, '17, 4 I 54 3917 NARCISSUQ The Rebellion of Becky The Misses Belinda and Rebecca Nicholson were .seated on the veranda at their old-fashioned homestead. ' Their life-time sorrows and secrets were known only to those four grim walls. ln Miss Rebecca's life there had been a sorrow, indeed, for she had loved and lost. Although this had been thirty years ago, the wound had not yet healed. Yet she was a firm believer in the adage. f'Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Miss Belinda had regarded all men alike, deficient. The knitting had dropped from Miss Rebecca's usually busy fingers and her face wore a far-away expression, but this was suddenly replaced by one of re- bellion. Linda, she snapped, D'you wanta go to church tomorrow F VVhy, Beckyf, Linda gasped, we haven't missed since pa and ma died 'cept the time l had influenza. l sed do you wanta go to church tomorrow ? ffweirf- But this sentence was interrupted. by the following outburst: VVe ben settin' here aknittin' for that church bazaar for the last three months, and what thanks d'ye git fer it? Around here after money to buy them Smiths a stove when we need one worse for our own parlor! Ye can all go to church that wants to but I'm goin, fishin'. She thereupon set about to procure bait and upon her return to the house she found Miss Belinda stirring up her favorite one-egg cake. And shall I devil eggs fer us, too ? she asked. lividently she had been converted to Re- beccais way of thinking. The next morning found the two spinsters wending their way toward the creek at an early hour. Miss Belinda was laden with delicacies which they had not afforded for months, while Rebecca took charge of the fishing tackle. The water was excellent for fishing and indications pointed to a good day. An ar- gument ensued as to who should bait the hook. Finally llecky, as originator of the plan, consented to perform this duty, but it cost her many a secret chill. XVhile they lished, the lunch basket was deposited under a tree, and a stray cow wandering in that direction made way with basket, lunch and all. The sisters attributed this misfortune to the VVidow jones who lived nearby and took a pe- culiar delight in taunting her neighbors. Despite vigorous efforts, they caught only three small fish, and pangs of hunger drove them home. It was a little past noon as they stole down the road, occasionally dodging behind the bushes on either side to avoid meeting their sisters of the congregation. But in spite of their precautions they were viewed by the horror-struck XVidow jones, who spread the news in a miraculously short time. This called forth a visit from the preacher, who considered it his duty to lead the lambs back to the fold. However, he had little influence with these sisters. Rebecca was resolute and Belinda was her faithful supporter. Perhaps this very firmness of Belinda was what caused the preacher to regard her with a new interest and wonder why her charms had previously escaped him. About this time the town was Hooded with bills and glaring posters adver- tising a circus that was to be given in the near future. The sisters hailed it with delight, for it had been many years since they had attended a circus. The night before this glorious happening, oil was burned until a late hour at the Nicholson home. Miss Becky proceeded to curl her hair on papers and Miss Linda imme- diately followed suit. All possible preparations were made for the next day. 55 l L P' D'you knowf' Becky confided, I feel jest like something unusual was going to happen and that we ought to try to look our best. Whetliei' this is what occasioned the prolonged dressing the next day, I can- not say, but it began in the morning and continued until almost time for the show. As the village was lacking in rouge, this most essential article was sub- stituted by rubbing a red-backed cook book over the cheeks. The result was marvelous. As they walked down the street the very tree tops seemed to whis- per their approval and the flowers peeped from among the grasses to get a better view. Their late arrival at the tent had the desired effect, necks were cranedg the females darted jealous glances in their direction, but the men gazed in frank admiration. The preacher, himself, was present and watched Belinda with keen interest. The sisters occupied the most expensive seats available Becky had in- sisted that they be in the first row. The circus afforded them much pleasureg yet, one feature proved quite puzzling. Their attention was attracted and held by the strange actions of a clown, who upon beholding Miss Rebecca stood as though petrified. Tell me, Ioindyf' she whispered nervously, is my hat on straight or what is the matter that he acts so funny ? Belinda could see nothing unusual about her sister. The clown finally moved on but lingered in their vicinity for the remainder of the performance. As they stepped out of the tent into the dusk of the evening, a hand touched Miss Re- becca. At the same time the preacher elbowed his way to Miss Belinda, who upon seeing Becky engaged in conversation with a gentleman was led proudly away on the arm of the preacher. Meanwhile Becky was confronted by a stranger, or who so appeared to her. ll: drew her away from the crowd and said: Rebecca, donit you know me ? How could she forget that voice, the voice of long ago! Yes, Tom, but where have you been all of these years? I thought you had married and forgotten mef' g That is what I thought about you. Everything was explained on their homeward walk. I-Ie had been the clown and this fact solved the mystery which had so puzzled Becky. However, he had aspired to more than a mere clown during his thirty years' travel across the waters. His acquirements were sufficient to make him sole owner of the YVilson Shows. They leaned over the little wooden gate, half hidden by the fragrant lilac bush of long ago, and talked of the past and future. This same gate had been witness to the plans of another couple that very evening-those of Belinda and the preacher. . . . and the ending of this tale was the beginning of joy in the hearts of the spinsters.

'Twas long in February,-the day you heard the band Accompanying the soldier boys home from the Rio Grande, VVell, sometime in the evening, seven or height o'clock, Some of us girls, and fellows, too, went out to take a walk. Ile saw the basement windows of the High School lighted bright, And thought, at flrst, it was the school they're having there at night. But there was such hilarity, with screams and laughter loud, That we were sure it couldn't come from any Night School crowd. And so our curiosity would not be satisfied, Until we found a place to peep at what there was inside. Luckily, I found a crack, where the curtain wasn't straight, XVhere I could see part of the crowd, and size it up hrst rate. You'x'e heard of Old King Arthur, with his table so immense, That sixty knights could gather round Qand eat at his expensejg VVell, gathered round a table here, just like the old knights did, XYere men and women, full a score, and also many a kid.', I couldn't see from where I stood, the entire bill of fare. The aggregation, at a glance, seemed strangers, one and all, But closer down one end, I spied our Superintendent Hallg And he had on his hunting clothes Cbut that was no disguise, He looks as natural in that as though dressed otherwisej. Some others, then, I recognized. 'Twas not the Night School crowd, But just the High School Faculty, in costumes strange and loud, I stood enchanted at the scene: There's lilla Brownf' I cried, I turned around, and Mr. Hall was standing by my side. I was scared stiff-I couldn't move, I said, O Mr. Hall, Please don't take my deportment offf' He answered not at all. I said, XVe,re having the jolliest time-lots more fun than you. He said, Then you are going some, my girl, if that is true. Then he said that we could stay, if weld behave all rightg And then he went inside again, and pulled the blinds down tight. But though he pulled them down all right, he didn't pull them straight, XYhich left a crack along one side, and made the looking great. I know he did that purpose like, just so us kids could see, For that, I'll grace his wedding dance,-whenever that may be. C 58 1917 NARCI SSUS Ou! YoU Clkctrsl l'll het that when a kid like us, many a trick hels done,f That's why he isn't very hard on kids just having fun. llut l must tell more of the show, for, thanks to Mr. Hall, We now could tell just who was there, men, women, kids, and all lt surely was a motley crowd, in nondescript arrayg All sorts of funny characters with make-upl' grand and gay. I wish l had the gift of words that preachers have sometimes, l wish I had the poet's gift to put them into rhymes, lf l but had the gift of words, and rhyme, and meter, too, l het I'd write the dandiest piece, Naucissijs ever knew. llut pshaw! the picture that I saw, which made me laugh with glee. Somehow gives up its comic touch, clothed in my poetry. Some of the crowd, it seemed, were dressed just like plain pedagog llut most of them we saw decked out in most outlandish togs. Qur Mr. Kendall was dressed up, a German farmer man, XYhile stubhy whiskers on his chin, helped carry out the plan. And Mr. lvlercker was rigged out to he a German, too, Though not a farmer, but more like one of a pirate crew. His false mustache was fiery hlack, likewise his goateeg And sure no man with hercer look, e'er sailed the pirate sea. Our Mr. lillis, too, was there, dressed in a rube', outfit, .Xnd Mr. Mohler was the same, they both made quite a hit. 'lohn Redmon was a mammoth clown, bright baggy suit he wore, XYith hat so tall he had to stoop, when going through the door. UCS 99 3 W :mam NARCISSUS 1917 But search all rube-like characters, in history or romance, You'll find none better played the part, than I-Iorner did, and Frantz Their every act, the clothes they wore, the very wrinkles spoke Emphatically that they were rubes, and not city broke. Their made-up whiskers emphasized the part they tried to play A bunch of f'spinach on the chin, lire-red and stiff as hay Their entire talk was of the farm, of horses, pigs, and cows Of different crops, and garden sass, of clover in the mows They were dead set 'gainst city ways,-no good that they could see They sure were verdant rubetown rubes, raised to the n-th degree I'll bet they both were hayseeds oncef-perhaps the same today If once the pedagogue's veneer, were simply scraped away Among the varied types of dames, was one classed quite alone Her artificial face was black,-so black it fairly shone, Her massive frame, her gaudy dress, her large expansive mouth Bespoke the colored Mammy, once so popular in the South I tried to guess who it could be, my guesser failed to workg But later, with her mask removed, I saw the school boardis clerk Miss XVilson, in her somber black, was prim as prim could be No one could carry dignity, with better grace than she. Miss Patton wore a clownish suit, with painted face to match And sticking on her suit and face, was many a black cat patch Miss Brown was German in her dress, and German in her talk And ditto in her Howing hair, and ditto in her walk.

Long may it reveal to the girls of the High School their defects and affectationsf' Compassionately we regard its cracked surface, caused no doubt by the as- sault of generations of flying tongues. If it could break its silence the revela- tions of past generations would probably be slightly different from those of the present. I wonder if the story wouldn't run something like this: I washed my hair last night and I can't do a thing with it. The mirror winks at the radiator with a knowing smile for this daily com- plaint had long ago become a mutual joke. I'm not going to use this powder any more. It's not pink enough for my complexion. Did you go to the dance last night? You didn't! Why not? I didg and oh! my dear! we had a wonderful time. We didn't Qlend me your powder puffj get home till one o'clock and I'm so sleepy. , I just can't get the right angle of a triangle, can you? I hate geometry, anyway, but I suppose I'll have to get those two credits. The mirror tries hard to get the right angle to the girl's middy tie which re- fuses to stay parked. This dress is the limit! Oh! do you really like it ? Again a quaint smile from the mirror at this common weakness among girls, throwing a line for a compliment. Suddenly the mirror and the friendly radiator look quite interested. An una usual conversatiion is going on back in the ccrner between two girls more inter- ested in their books than their looks. My! I just love to translate Caesar. She only gave us thirty lines last night, but the more the better for me. I'd rather study than go to a picture show, wouldn't you P Why you are exactly like me. I love to study, but Roman History is my favoriteg I haven't flunked this period. The face of the mirror shines in approval, still he cannot but think they are only fooling and turns back with an affectionate smile to those whose interest never fails. I never even got to look at my Rhetoric last night. I had to go to the pic- ture show. Did you take my pencil? Oh! lend me some pins. Gim'me your compass this period. Oh, there goes the bell! Does my nose shine? A flutter of skirts and all are gone leaving the mirror to blink, not surprised at a flying straggler who rushes madly up, takes one hurried look, desperately pins up a dis-arranged lock,-is gone leaving the room to unbroken silence. So here's all honor to the mirror, our faithful keeper of secrets. DoRo'r11Y GOODALL, '19, 61 NARCISSUS P. H. S. the Perfect A Dream of Fair School Days One night as I lay sleeping, I dreamed a dream so fair, I walked along the lower hall And saw white marble there. Art treasures gleamed resplendent- The elevators purrede- There were some moving sidewalks, And not a step was heard. The desks were all provided VVith receptacles for notes, Desk telephones had been in use- VVhy! long since women's votes. The students, all reclining, Enjoyed a sweet repast. lVhile self-repeating histories, Taught them lessons fast. Their gentle Latin ponies Were tethered in the hall, A-munching hay and prompting them, VVhenever they should fall. A wonderful gymnasium, VVith swimming pool to match, And tennis courts a-plenty, And candy by the batch! A passage-way led over To the building where convened The Chem. and Physics classes, Here consciences were cleaned. For students made explosives, Whicli blew them 'cross the Styx, But no one seemed to blame them For making such a mix. A boom! A crash! and echoes And noise of tumbling towers, Proclaimed the time of waking, The clock struck seven hours!

I' i3 NARCISSUSV, 191 Social Life in the High School This year has proved an enjoyable one for students of Peru High School. It has not been all work and no play for on almost every Friday night some entertainment has been given by the students either in Mercer Hall, which had been rented for the Basketball season, or in the High School building. As seniors, leaving the High School, we not only have pleasant memories of studies and work but also of many social times. The first social affair of the school year was a Box Social held in the High School building on the evening of November 9. The purpose was to raise money for the Athletic Association. A musical program was given in the as- sembly room and afterwards the many fancy decorated boxes filled with good things to eat, were auctioned off by George VVolf. Many stunts were pulled off during the evening, so that this first social event proved to be a big success. Mercer Hall has not only been used for basketball, but the students have used it for several high school parties, the first event of this sort being on jan- uary l2. Senior colors were used for decorations, and VVilson and Carpenter furnished the music. The chaperones for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Pratt Loveland, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Burke, Mrs. Blackketter and Mrs. Test. On February 19, occurred the biggest social event of the season. Although the only items that can be obtained areajust from rumors for it was strictly pri- vate. The Faculty gave a party, yes, a kid party. All returned to their youth from Mr. Hall to Miss Wilson. They came dressed as in their childhood days. lfVe are extremely sorry that no reporter could be present so that the account might be written up with greater detail. On February 9, a valentine party was given in Mercer Hall, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The hall was gaily decorated and at eight-thirty the grand march started to the strains of Wilson and Carpenter orchestra. The programs were cleverly devised in the shape of small footballs, and thedances were called by football terms-the first dance the Kick Off and the last the Touch Down. The chaperones for this evening were Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Loveland, Mrs. J. Test, Mr. and Mrs. VV. E. Burke, and Mrs. F.. Miller. 64 1917 NARCISSUS The last basketball game of the season, played with Logansport High School on March 2 was followed by a dance in the l'. H. C. Hall for the students from both High Schools. The Right to Be Happyf' a Blue Bird film was given at the Isis Theatre on March 2, for the benefit of the Annual fund. It was a beautiful reproduc- tion of Dicken's Christmas Carol and proved quite popular both for the stu- dents and the town people. Red lemonade, cotton candy, cry babies, fat ladies, snake charmers were all present at the High School Circus, April 27, in the High School building. There were Ukelale girls, Hawaiian singers, Vernon Castles, Eva Tanquays and Al Johnsons, all the great vaudeville lights of the country were there. Each class had a stunt, all of which were very clever and if the war does not interfere the Sophomores are thinking seriously of putting their Musical Comedy on the road. This last entertainment given by the High School proved a great success. Commencement Exercises VVe expect the Commencement Exercises this year to be quite festive oc- casions. The first of the coming receptions is the junior-Senior reception where the Junior class as a body entertains the Seniors for the last time. This will be held in the Library Hall on the evening of May 25. The next event will be Class Day when the Senior class entertains the juniors. This will occur on the evening of May 28. The Baccalaureate Service will be held at five o'clock on May 27, in the First Christian Church, Rev. Brock officiating. Commencement Exercises will take place at eight-lifteen o'clock, Thursday evening, May 31, in the Vlfallace Theatre. Mr. Ralph Sollitt, a P. H. S. Alum- nus, will deliver the address. 65 PIARCISSUS 1917 HONOR STTIIXENTSJ l u:s'r SEMESTICR Learning by study must be Wong 'Twas ne'er entailed from sire to son.

H. S. has given results in the past and is giving results at present of which we are proud. 1t has produced some of the best speakers in the state. For a time, a few years ago, the interest in this department lagged and there was no class. Hut in the school year, 1915-1916, there came from the students a request for a class and the school authorities responded favorably. The work was entrusted to Mr. Mohler and he proved that he was the man for the place. Under his management and direction the work progressed rapidly, and our teams won in meets with other High Schools. XYhen school opened last fall the enthusiasm ran high for the continuance of this department. Mr. Mohler was again given charge of the class. The first debate of the year was held in the school building, October 19. The subject was, Resolved, that the Administration of this Government should remain Democratic. This was a no-decision debate, it being impossible to tind judges during the campaign times. The aliirmative speakers were li. VValpe and B. Brock. The speakers op- posed were H. .lohnson and Il. lieyt. The speakers on both sides showed the results of study and work. .Xfter this debate the public speaking class turned its attention to the subject. Resolved that the United States should adopt a military system similar to that of Switzerlandf this topic being the one to be debated by the entries to the Indiana High School Discussion League. Ifarly in March the local elimination contest was held. The result was, Brock, nrst placeg Fisher, second placeg XYalpe, third placeg and Kaufman, fourth place. 71 NARCISSUS NARCISSUS 1917 BYRON Blcork Vmmzn.

The Macy High School and Peru High School were the only schools to enter. Macy was defended by Mr. Taylor, last year's ,District Champion, and Peru entered Mr. Brock. Both of the contestants chose to speak on the negative side of the question. The speakers were fairly well matched, both having good arguments and delivery. The result was close, the Macy representative win- ning with a grade of SS per cent and the Peru speaker following with a grade of 87 per cent. This year will be the first one in the history of our school that we have en- tered a speaker in the oratorical contest held in the Wfabash Valley Track and Field Meet. Miss Ruth Coxon will represent us. She has been working hard on her subject and we understand has mastered it. XVe are sure that she will take a place in the meet and make points for P. H. S. The outlook for next year is the very best, Kaufman, the only member of the debating team that will be in school neXt year, is a strong speaker and we know he will make good in the future. 72 W T W 5?

Coach Reclmon was in- troduced at this meeting and was received with hearty applause. After a few speeches by various members of the faculty, Vivien Cowdrey and Clarence XVelch were elected yell leaders. The remainder of the time was spent in prac- ticing old yells and the learning of new ones. On November 2, the second mass meeting was held for the purposes of elect- ing officers for the athletic association and appointing a committee to award letters at the close of the athletic season. The following are the officers of the association: Raymond Hopper, presi- dent, Paul Miller, vice-president, Frank Fuller, secretary, Mr. Mercker, treas- urer. The committee selected to award letters is as follows: Mr. Redmon, Mr. Mercker, Miss Patton, Vivien Cowdrey, Frank Fuller, Gran Morrissey. On November 15, a mass meeting was held for the express purpose of rent- ing the Mercer Hall for basketball. As all the students seemed in favor of this project and willing to help support, the hall was leased for four months. At a mass meeting held on February 16, the letters and monograms won by the football players were awarded. Several other important matters were dis- posed of after which the meeting adjourned. .

Un September 30, Peru journeyed to VVabash, where a hard game was fought and lost by Peru by the narrow margin of one point. The touchdowns for Peru were made by the fastest men, Hopper and Shafer. However, after another week of strenuous practice and encouraged by the game on September 30, our team attacked the strong Logansport aggregation and came out victorious over them with a score of seven to nothing. The scoring of this game is due to the brilliant work of our right end, Ralph Erb, assisted by our quarterback, Jerry Nelp. After the victory at Logansport, Peru went to Elwood to conquer them. The confidence which Peru took with them was too great for the ability of the team. The strong Elwood team walked all over our boys until the last quarter, and then some very fast and hard playing on the part of Peru stopped the ever- increasing score. . After such a defeat, Peru, very sullen, went to VVarsaw to play their aggre- gation. The game was played hard and fast and up to the third quarter the score stood 7-3 in favor of Peru. But in the last quarter there arose a difficulty about a forward pass made by Peru. An argument followed which eventually caused Peru to forfeit the game with a score of l-O in favor of Warsaw. How- ever, the next week a letter was received from the W'arsaw team stating that Peru had won the game fairly and that the team saw their mistake in treating our boys as they had done. 78 1917 XVabash l4 Logansport 0 Elwood 30 lVarsaw 3 Ralph Erb Keith Shafer Jerome Nelp Sheldon Reagon Carl Becker NARCISSUS Football Record, 1916 Peru 13 At Wabasla, Sept. 30.

He played a good steady game at center. He worked and showed him- self capable of the honor of being captain. T NVALLACIQ S'1'l:wAR'r, ,20 Fullbaclc NVhen the call came for football players, Truck', filled the place of fullback. .Xl- though a heavy-weight, he possessed the light so necessary to a backlield man and played his position in every game. Truck,' was a valu- able player-a man who will fight more than he did is hard to fmd. RAI,PII ERB, 'l7 Right End Une of the fastest men on the team was Erbie. During the season he was out of the game only one quarter. It was due to his fast work that the game at Logansport was won. He will be greatly missed in next year's team. He plays a clean, sober game. 80 ' S HAROLD .Xl.SI'ACT'l, '18 Halfback Sneeze proved himself one of the hardest working players on the team. He has always shown the stick-to-it spirit which comes out a winner in the end. SneeZe is one of the Juniors and great things are expected from him next year. He was injured and did not get to play all the games. KEITII SHAFER, '19 Left End l'Shaf was truly one of the star perform- ers. He played on last year's team and his work in every game was sensational. He was out four quarters in this season's games. Ev- ery one who saw him play acknowledged that he was a star in his position. JEROME NIiI.P, '17 Quarterback 'lBlondy was a steady, alert thinker and filled the bill as a quarterback. His excep- tionally iine passes were put in use, and it was through his passing that P. H. S. won a Victory over Logansport. He will be missed in next year's team. He was out four quar- ters during the season. 81 NARCISSUS 1917 CHARLES REDMON, '18 Right Guard Slim was one that was not pushed aside without notice. He had plenty of weight and held down the position of guard with much grit and fight. He played on last year's team and next year's team will be honored with his assistance. SHELDON REAGON, '18 Right Tackle 'fTed made good when the call came for football players, with enough weight and plenty of fight and grit. He is a strong player and will make critics sit up and take notice before he graduates. He was out four quar- ters during the season. GEORGE BIEEKER, '18 Left Guard Playing his first year on the High School team, Tubie showed his worth in all the games in which he played. His offensive work was of high order. He was out only one quarter during the season. 82 1917 NARCISSUS RAN'KlllND HOPPIZIQ, '18 Halfback 'fjakeu was at home in his position as half- back. He played with bulldog grit and only with injuries did he give up. He was a fast man and whenever an opportunity showed up he took it. He was injured and this let him out four quarters. HARRY Flscurck, '19 Right Tackle Dutch,' was a man of weight and push and he held his position as tackle with great and efhcient skill. He never gave up and when it came to light and determination he had them all. CARL BECKER, '18 Halfback Beck came to the rescue many times when things looked bad. He played sub for the back field and attained the credit of being a fast man. He played a steady, strong game and great things are expected of him in the coming of next year. 83 V- - - NARclssus 1917 l l l MINIER BoRn1:N, ,IS Left Tackle Farmer Borden held the position as left tackle and was known as one of the hardest scrappers on the team. He was fast in both offensive and defensive work and in many cases it was through his work that great gains were made. He will be on next year's team without a doubt. ROBERT Ion Nsox, '19 End Bob played the game as sub and when needed was always on the job. He was fast and attained the confidence of those who knew him. He is our fast track man. He managed to play eight quarters of the season. ELLSWORTH BURKE, '20 Halfback Burkie, the smallest one on the team played sub for the backfield. He was quick and full of determination. He came to the front in a hurry and showed them what he could do. 84 .FZEQCSRSUQ , ,U ,.,. ,. ,,i.,,1 ... ,..- i, hu H1 is WLQV1 l , SOME OF THE P6,X9IilC'l'li.Xl.I, PIUXYI-IRS Basketball, 1917 Coach Redmon took charge of the basketball team with great eXpectations for a winning team. But lack of material, ineligibility, and injuries proved too great a handicap to overcome this year. The team worked hard but everything seemed to turn out against them. The high school has no gymnasium which is as great a handicap as anything the boys have to deal With. All these things put the High School team at the bottom of the scale. Basketball Letter Men Byron Brock Sheldon Reagon Frank Fuller Rex Bowen Ralph lfrb Everett Erb 86 1917 NARCISSUS RALPH ERB, '17 Captain Forward Erbie', is a product of this year's football team. He held down the position as forward on the basketball team in fine style and when the ball came his way he displayed his good marksmanship. His accurate goal shooting won him much fame. BYRON BROCK, '17 Center Gaining considerable prominence in basket- ball last year, Brock won his place as center on this year's team. This being his last year in school here, the team of next year will miss his hard work and efforts for a winning team. FRANK FULLER, '17 Forward Hank', became one of the High School stars and won his letter by hard work. He had the never say die spirit and he worked with diligent toil. He was always on hand when needed. 87 NARCISSUS 191 VVILLIAIVI BOWEN, '17 Center Bill came in the last half of the term. He came from Lebanon where he held a high rep- utation as a basketball star. He made an ex- cellent center and never gave the opponents any chance where he could prevent it. SHELnoN REASON, '18 Guard f'Ted was the kind that you never wanted to run up against twice. He was built heavy and strong. He played a fast, careful, clean game and he made a very good guard. Ted put up a plucky ight and gained his laurels. PAUL MCCAFFREY, '18 Forward Squirrelly was one that was quick and ac- curate. He never tarried along but was up in action. He played with a grit that was seldom found in the other players. He would never say he was beaten, but always said, We can ' ll win. 88 91? NARCISSUS .:. ff.:-crm' it-.. I Ricx Bowicx, 'IS Guard Betty, a brother of Bill, also came from Lebanon. He has played for the L. H. S. and has a great deal of knowledge of basketball. l Betty was without a doubt one of the best players on the high school team. EVERETT ERB, '18 Center Long distance was considered a mere trille when it came to making baskets.

He had the responsibility of the team on his shoulders and it kept him looking after his men. He was a hard worker for the team and too much praise cannot be given him. He was an active member on the relay team. ROliI'1RT JOHNSON, '19 Dashes and High Jump Bob made a very successful year last year which won him the position as captain this year. He put his name on the honor roll of track athletics by winning first in the 440- yard dash at Converse in 'l6, and Firsts in the 100, 220-yd. dashes, 220-yd. hurdle and the high jump at Converse in '17. He also won second in 4-10-yd. dash at XVabash in 'l6. He will be an All-State track man next year withs out a doubt. Hob was one of the relay men. NIINER BORDEN, '18 Dashes Borden is a man who is at home on the 440-yd. dash. He won first at Converse in '17 and second in 'l6. He is built of Hironu and seems to weigh too much to cover the ground in 54 seconds. He won First at XVa- bash in '16 with a time of 542 seconds. He has added many points to the school records. He was a relay man. 97 NARCiSbUS 191 RAYMOND HOPPER, '18 Dashes and Shot Put Jack was one of the men who won many points for the school in the meets. He won second in the 220 dash and 220-yd. hurdle in '17 and third in shot put. He was a strong 440-yd. man, taking a very important part in the relay team. FLOYD BROOKS, '17 Mile Brooksie has developed into a fast and reliable track man. He won second at the Wabasli meet in '16 and first in the Converse meet in 'l7. He holds the school record for the mile and as this is his last year, he will be missed in next year's track team. PAUL MILLER, '17 Mile By placing second in the mile at Converse in 'l6 for the first time, Skinny won his monogram. Consistent hard training changed him from a mere performer to a runner not to be slighted by the best in the meets. He won fourth place at Converse, '17, and set a rapid pace for the mile at Xvabash in 'l6. 98 IA if I V iz QL ft E i S is if as . -r 5lvJm.::a....-f'iiaf?::f E E 95 fa 6 5 Z ?

It seems as if the different jailbirds or resid- ents of this Farm are always trying to play some mischief upon the jailer in charge. Sometimes if you would come to the Farm you'd think that the Ger- man Army was throwing bombs. XVe are living in the hopes that in the near future the Penal Farm mav be done away with at least for the summer.

Next day to school came Russel, Wearing a black one trimmed in gold, I know it was a new one, Because it looked not old.
