The time is approaching when we shall assemble to receive our eertihcates of efficiency. This probably will be the last time we shall ever meet as a class, so before we take up our activities in other lines of work, we wish, as the Senior class, to unite our thoughts and sentiments in a form that can be preserved and to which we can refer with pride, when we recall those happy days spent in Peru lligh School. As the fruit of our labor, we offer to the Public, this, our Narcissus, and we trust it may afford an hour's pleasure to its readers.

In name only, though, for it would be hard to hnd a more grace- ful and charming girl, JOSEPH GRISWOLD As Drum Major of the Band, Joe has acquired a decided strut. He also has the honor of serv- ing as class president for two years. TREVA DUKES Treva is one of the Denverites who traveled sev- eral miles last year, to be with us, and has shown her' love for P. H. S. by returning this year. BERNICE COLLINS Bernice is one of the faithful attendants of the Commercial class. The constant click of the typewriter reminds us that she is near by. El El EI EI LLOYD TILLETT Lloyd came to us last year from Akron High School. He wanders through the halls with such a grave and mysterious air that we sometimes won- ' der if he is not some great person in disguise. MILDRED VVHITEHEAD Mildred has a shy, sweet way about her that we all adore. Her excellent scholarship is attested by her name on the Honor Roll. MARY MCKINSTRY Mary is valued highly, not only for her artistic ability but also for her enthusiastic class spirit. RICHARD GRISXVOLD Dick is the twin of Joe and as small as his other half. Buhbling over with mischief, as most small boys are. He is extremely valuable to the class as he is the treasurer. El El MARK KREUTZER Mark is always on the alert, even at Club parties. He is reliable in every respect, This is shown by his appointment as Business Manager of the Nar- cissus. MARGARET CARL In history especially, Margaret can be looked up to as a star. She belongs to the famous Camp Fire bunch ' IENNESSE MONESMITH Known to her many friends as 'lMonie, she ranks in the short and sweet class. We wish more had her class spirit. BERTHA KINGERY A sturdy little girl, studious and well behaved. E EI HELEN ANDREWS Helen is everybody's pet. She loves to dance and sing and is a Hbonnie, bonnie lassief' Without her, society i11 the Annual would be a failure, for she is its editor. JOSEPH BERGMAN Shorty is a wonder in athletics, and is Captain of the football team. Joe left school to enlist in the Marines and was in Co. 454, Battalion B, Paris Island, S. C., until last spring, when he re- turned to us. ELIZABETH LENHART Elizabeth is a walking dictionary. She saves us a lot of time in looking up words. She also has a good record. ERCELL BRUBAKER Ercell's keen insight of things in general has as- tonished the class. Although a patriotic American, Ercell wears the Iron Cross of the Kaiser. El El El El HELEN HYRE Helen is a jolly girl and very pleasant to have around. She can surely look wise when the teach- ers come near. How we envy her! HILDA BROWN To know Hilda is indeed. a rare favor. If we had her individuality what a school this might be! She is known in the artistic circles of high school. EDVVA RD CADE If you want to know how mischievous Edward is, just watch the twinkle in his eyes. CATHERINE SCHERSCHEL Catherine's ability in her school work is marvelous. bhe is a willing worker and of valuable assistance. El El El El AILENE LOVELAND 'Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white Na- ture's own sweet and cunning hand laid on. Ailene is Literary Editor of the Narcissus. JOHN FISHER Believes that little boys should be seen and not heard. If you did not run against him once in a while, you wouldn't know he was here. HILDA KURTZ There are few girls in High School who can com- pare with Hilda in strength. She tells us she is to be a school marm in the west. MABEL FORN SHELL One of those shy, little girls who never talks very much, but is worth while to know. El El HELEN WAY Helen likes everybody and everybody Cespecially Harryb likes Helen. To see her in an excitable moment is a sight Worth while. ALINE HERBERG A quiet and winning disposition is possessed by Aline. In class functions she proved a dependa- ble person. MARVIN ROUCH Marvin is noted for his good looks and his nice manners. He is a mid-year graduate and a very good student. RUTH BORDEN Ruth is one of our rural class mates, and rides to school in a Buick with brother Alec as chauffeur. ,. L El EI EVELYN REINEKE Evelyn is one of our ambitious classmates. She finished her work mid-year and entered Mrs. Blaker's Training school at Indianapolis, to be- come a teacher. ROY MOSELEY One of our rural classmates who is faithful in at- tendance as well as in studies. AUDREY COXON One of our best workers in the class who has never failed to be on the honor roll. Audrey has gained some fame as a public speaker. She is also Editor of All Sorts. MARGARET SHANABARGER Margaret is graduating in three years and a half. She has been a faithful worker and is on the Honor Roll. EI EI El El ALEC BORDEN A football player of some note, whose muscles were developed on the farm. Alec is a great favorite with the girls, especially so when he drives his car. INEZ WEIGEL Inez is the busiest person in High School. Her sterling worth. is shown in the fact that she was se- lected Editor in chief of the Narcissus. RUTH TEST 'lTesty'f is short but very sweet. She has a win- ning disposition and a most wonderful smile. At least Spot thinks so. MIRIAM ORPUT Miriam is one of the star pupils in history. Her hobby is oratory, and she does exceedingly well in this. She represented the school in the Public Speaking Contest last year. El El El EJ KATRINA BEECHER Katrina is one of our brightest students and is al- ways on the Honor Roll. She is well liked and stands high in the hearts of the faculty. THELMA CLINE Thelma has traveled through the four years' journey with the rest of us. She is very bashful but, has a bewitching smile. 'Woe to some man! FRED ROHRER Fred is not at all what his name might imply. He is a conscientious studentand no doubt will make his mark. QLater-Fred has left us.j MARTHA WAPPLER Martha inspires the rest of us when she recites. We are glad to have her as one of the stars i11 our class. El EI RUBY LANDGRAVE Here is another one of those famous Landgraves who graduate every few years. Ruby has that char- acteristic smile that won't come off. She may be called the Little Mother of the class. FRANCIS TURPIE He makes us think of the school master in The Deserted Village. And still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. ELIZABETH VAN OSDOL A modern Priscilla, always ready to help, and with a smile and a kind word for every one. RUTH WAGNER Ruth believes that art and music should go to- ' gether, hence her interest in Dwight. El EI El E CLAYTON FISHER Another Denverite who came to us last year. Clayton is an industrious student and excels in everything he does. We are proud of him. HAZEL MOSSHAMMER Our Whistler, Whose warbles makes one think he is in the South, listening to the mocking bird which shakes from his little throat such Hoods of delirious music. CARLETON MURRAY Mutt is such a happy fellow, whose smile is con- tagious. He is also a crack football player and a writer of some note. See De Poe. THERESA SAMPSEL Here is a rather quiet girl, but liked by all. She has always been a faithful supporter of all class functions. El El El El VIVIAN ROBERTSON Here is what we call a linquist, for Vivian ex- cells in languages. She comes from the south side and crosses the river twice a day to be with us. ERNEST KEYES Not from Mexico, the land of revolution, but from the little town of Mexico, Ind., we got this product this year. Ernest appreciates a good thing when he sees it. MILDRED BELL Unless we are reminded of Mildred's presence by a teacher calling upon her, we would keep guessing where she might be, so intense is her silence. MILDRED HACKLEY To know her is to love her.' so Winsome is she. Dancing claims her feet but Joe claims her eyes. EI EI CLARA POOR Clara comes from the country eaeh day to shine in the mathematics class. Wliat she does not know isn't worth knowing. 4 LILLIAN DELNAAY Lillian came to us last year from New Yorkg a wee-bashful girl, but soon won her way into the hearts of her classmates. Her long suit is English. WILLIAM FORTUNE Our war hero. Being experienced in the trenches, he sought experience in class rooms and has found it. Bill is one of our best workers for the Annual. GLADYS OPP The very name Opp implies brilliancy, for has not Gladys followed in the footsteps of the other Opps who made such good records? El EI I3 El MERRILL REED Smiling Merrill is quite a mischievous boy. NVe sometimes wonder at the teaeher's patience, but We really enjoy having Merrill around if he is a tor- ment. PAUL MQLAIN Another one of the Denver people who entered this term to be one of us. Paul is rather quiet, but perhaps this is because he is not well acquainted. HELEN MILLSMAN Helen's smiling Good Morning is a bit of sun- shine on cloudy days. She will be missed next year. RUSSELL HAINES Last but not least of the Denverites. Russell has shown in the short time he has been with us, that he is a very industrious and capable young man, El El El EI RAYMOND WILKINS Here is an athlete, a linquist and an all around good fellow. Ray has made a record in everything he has undertaken. MARY DAVIS A'Her sweet smile haunts me still. Mary certainly could get into the movies with her million dollar smile. She is also quite a Senger. ROBERT FOUTS Robert heard from the other Denverites what a won- derful school we had, so he joined the ranks this semester. We welcome him with the rest. OPAL DANIELS Can anyone ever forget Opal and her Ford? It has been her faithful attendant throughout her senior year. Everywhere that Opal went. the Ford was sure to go. EI EI EJ El Swninr Gllazz Hrnpherg OOO Time : 1Q3O. The scene is laid in a large lumber camp which is located near Kelso, Wfashing- ton, and owned by the Deemer brothers. A fire is burning cheerfully in a large fireplace in a large sitting room. Two young women are holding the following conversation. I just tholt I'd run over for a few minutes and tell you the news. I got a letter from Helen WayAI mean I-Iurtt, I can't get used to the idea of her being Mrs. Harry Hurtt even if they have been married over eight years. She and Harry have moved into a Hat down in the Riverview Addition where the City Park and Brownell's Grove used to be. Mildred Hackley and joe Bergman are married and live upstairs. HI suppose joe is running his father's place now ?'l f'Oh, no! He has charge of McCaffrey's new store. She says they have just Finished a new shoe store, too. Francis Turpie and Mark Kreutzer are the proprietors. My! NVhat changes must have taken place in old Peru since we left! She says, too, that the people are going wild about the Musical comedy They're All Sweeties that has been there again this season. Mary McKinstry is the leading lady and some of the famous chorus girls are Katrina Beecher, Bernice Collins, Bertha Kingery, Clara Poor and Martha XYappler. And Mary Senger is sueing Fred for a divorce and asks for her maiden name of 'Davis' She names Hilda Brown as 'the other woman..', :'NVell, did you ever hear of the like? I got the journal yesterday and I saw in it that Ifddie Cade is trying matrimony for the third time, Thelma Cline being his latest venture. Isuppose llelen Andrews and Vivian Robertson were too much for him. Mildred NVhitehead and Theresa Sampsel were traveling thro! the Orient and the Sultan was so charmed with them that they are now his favorite clancersf, Isn't it funny how the old class of 320 is scattered? XYhen Spot and I were in California last summer we went to the Hollyworth Movie Studio and whom do you suppose we saw? Elizabeth Lenhart was playing leading role opposite Raymond XYilkins, and Bill Fortune was directing. Marvin Rouch is engaged to Helen Hyre, the latest movie star, too, but we didn't get to see him. And we saw Philip Pugsley in Los Angeles running a peanut stand on Roselawn Avenue.-But my goodness, look at that clock! I suppose my bread is burning up and Spot will be back to dinner in a half hour! I must go, but say, may I read a couple of your late journals? I'd like to see what's going on back home. Sure, Ruth, take those on the table. Ilve read them. These are some of the articles which interested her most. The new enrolling teachers for this year are Ruby Landgrave, Evelyn Reineke, Miriam Orpurt, lirnest Keyes, and john Fisher. 4'Marriage Licences' Ruth XYagner and Dwight Thornburg, Peru. Treva Dukes and Clayton Fisher, Denver. Brcell Brubaker and Leo Keller, Peru, and Ruth Bord- en and Wayne Miller, Bunker Hillf, I E! El EI The telephone operators went on a strike at noon. Gladys Opp, chief operator, and Catherine Scherschel were injured by the crowd who were roughly demanding more wages. lNlord has been received of the faithful work being done in China by Misses Elizabeth Van Osdel and Tennessee Monesmith, missionaries to that countryf, Notice: Mlles. Audrey Coxon and Margaret Carl will appear at the XYallace Theatre next week. The Robinson Circus returned to winter quarters yesterday after a successful season. Some of the main attractions this year were joe and Dick Griswold, famous 'Insect Twinsg' Mlle. Hilda Kurtz, 'The Bareback lYonderg' Mabel Fornshell as jolly Trixiegl' and Alac Borden 'Sword Swallowerf' A triangular love affair was the cause of the tragic death of the beautiful Miss Ailene Loveland. Vlfhen the man, Fred Rohrer chose the other woman, Inez Wfeigel, the disappointed shot herself. Misses Helen Hillsman and Goldie Martin left today for Nead where they have accepted responsible positions in the General storef' An unusually large number of persons were arraigned in police court today be- fore Chief-of-l olice, Carlton Murray, on the charge of 'boot-legging., Those paying hues were Fd Yarling, Merrill Reed and Roy Moseleyf, An interesting and very pretty wedding was that of Aline Herberg and Lloyd Tillett. The brides-maids were Opal Daniels and Margaret Shanabarger. The young people left for a short wedding trip afterwhich they will be at home to their friends at the apartments owned by Miss Lilliam Delnaay on West Sixth street. Mildred Bell was rescued from a horrible death today' by joe Loveland. Miss Bell was riding a beautiful horse down Riverside Drive when it became frightened and started racing down the street but had gone only a few squares when Mr. Loveland heroically rushed out and stopped the horse. Robert Fouts, Paul McLain and Russell Haines have moved from Denver to this city and have established bachelor apartments over the Republican office. They will open a matrimonial bureau in the near future. l'TAZlEL MossHAMM1z1:, RUTH TEs'r. l 7 sb fi? , ' ,1- if ,.1 ff,-,X --' El EI Sveuinr Gllaza 1-Iizinrg iOOOl To write a detailed history of our High School career would be to write a volume. Since that would take too much space in the Narcissus, I shall relate only the important events in our school life that make it different from that of other classes. In our Freshman year, although we were green to begin with, as all Freshmen are, we put our shoulders to the weel and finished with the ribbons. XVe were students at that time when Cupid had on the marriage market the greater part of the feminine members of our Faculty and succeeded in matching them up. Vtlho can say after we are gone that they knew who Armitage, Redmon, Patton, Cowan or Sheridan were? XVe continued our studies and during our Sophomore and Junior years, we not only always equaled all former records, but established a new one in everything we undertook. Now that we are Seniors, we hope this year to accomplish greater things than ever before. Wihen a difficulty arises we just bear in mind our motto, i'XYork is another word for Success, and we win. All through our career we have put the best foot forward, and we shall be remembered for our social activities, our efforts in stimulating the school spirit, the part we have taken in athleticsg our readiness in talking Gym', as a necessity in Peru High School and the high standard we have set as Seniors. VVe leave school with the highest regard for the Faculty and thank them for their constant willingness to help make all our un- dertakings a success in every way. Wie extend our best wishes to the coming Senior class, hoping they may attain as high a place in the minds of the Faculty and the Public as we have. MAliK KREUTZER. I' EI El EI Ghz East will ami!

A number of uninvited guests consisting of several Sophomores, a few Juniors and two Seniors stood at the doors and in the corridors watching our behavior. Last fall when we entered lrligh School as Sophomores, we quickly fell in line and started to take the lead in our studies. VVC re'-elected our former President and chose Dwight Thornburg for Vice-President and Meriam Bradley for Secretary and Treasurer. In athletics we put Thornburg on the football team.

FLoR1sNcE Uuuen, '23 EI El jerrg Jerry was the envy of all the boys in the town because of his ability as an athlete. There was no question but that he was the best runner, and as captain of the football team-no one could have been better. He was handsome and very pleasant and, so it was rumored, was an excellent dancer, although no one had seen him dance. Not because he was never invited-far from itfbut for one little thingk-he hated girls. When he received an invitation he threw it away disgusted. XVhy, he hated girls so he would cross the street to keep from talking to them. Of course the girls tried to get hi1n to take part in their parties, but he always refused. The boys' teasing him about being bashful did not bother him in the least. When Roselind Day came to school, although all the other boys looked upon her as the prettiest girl in school, jerry looked upon her as another one of the hated sex. Soon it was rumored about that she was a good athlete, and that she won the prize at the girls' track meet the year before. lVhen jerry heard this he smiled disdainfully and asked, How can you believe such stuff ? Nevertheless before Roselind had been in school a month, she had organized a girls' Gym class. They practiced twice a week on the boys' track. jerry secretly watched them several times and after he had seen Roselind run a few times he began to feel uneasy. He admired her, but kept away from her. Strange to say, Roselind would have nothing to do with him, either. She had even refused to speak to him when they met accidentally on the street. This and her ability as a runner made jerry worry a great deal. He won- dered if it might be such a thing that she would enter the spring meet. jerry also knew that she ran exceptionally well-even better than most of the boys. One day when the girls were practicing he went openly to the held. XYhen he appeared the girls began to get nervous and made a great many mistakes. Finally, after Roselind had tried to keep the girls together and had failed utterly, she walked over to where jerry was standing and said, jerry, you wonyt have anything to do with girls at parties, so won't you please leave the field that we may practice? You are disturbing us. Jerry Hushed angrily and insultingly replied, Well, you are some athletic bunch. If I was a girl I would do something that was suitable for a girl to do. Girls can't run a mile track, what's the use of all the practice FU Roselindis black eyes were Hashing as she answered, UYou woman hater, I dare you to run the mile with mef' The girls were surprised at the actions of both and crowded around them. jerry was almost too astonished to answer, but he pulled off his sweater and said, i'If you want to get beat, come onf' The girls gave the signal and they started. Both kept about even for the first half, then Roselind began to lag. At this moment, jerry's face began to wear a grin. They passed the three-quarter mark-still Roselind was behind, but she was running easily, while Jerry's breath was beginning to come in gasps. Then Roselind began to speed up. She gathered all her strength for a final dash and went across, an easy winner. How the girls did cheer! jerry was so dumbfounded he could hardly say anything. Finally he blurted out, Say, that was great! Vlfill you run with me again some time? I want to beat you. 'tYou can try it, laughingly replied Roselind, but I warn youf, The next day everyone was astonished to see jerry actually walking down the street with Roselind, and acting as if he were enjoying himself. XYhen the girls asked Roselind how she ever did it, she smiled wisely and answered, 'iThat was very easy.

XVell named art thou, oh, our Narcissus, for thou too art sprightly, gay and dainty. Bright faces smile at us from your pages. They are young with life yet before them. Their sprightliness, gaiety and daintiness foretell wonderful changes as lifels bloom unfolds into maturity. And in the years to come how they will love you, Narcissus! XVhen frosts of age blast and wither and the blood no longer riots through the body, the Annual of 1920 will have a new charm and fragrance, none other half so dear. And as they turn your pages, how the eyes will glisten, when memories come sweeping o'er them. Here are the pictures of the Faculty. How the teachers did fume and squirm and make all sorts of excuses, but finally primped to look their best. And here on other pages are the Seniors. How memory will recall the stars,'l the jolly ones, the quiet ones! In the chain of memories, these are links, some of clear cut steel, some of tinkling brass, others of pure gold. The picture of the Band! How their hearts still thrill with pride when they re- member the boys in their nifty uniforms, marching down the street. Good ieason they had to be proud, for was it not the best high school band in the state? As the pages are turned, the will and the prophecy appear. How eagerly the underclassmen watched for the will. XVhat would the Seniors bequeath them? And the prophecy! XYhat wonderful things were foretold of this bril- liant class! And here is a case page. How the white haired man or woman then renews.the youthful crushes! Even now the blush creeps to the woman's cheek as she again views that snap-shot taken with her youthful beloved. Best of all are the jokes and puns. How your pages bring back, oh, Narcissus, the funny things that happened and the puns made of the names: Does Mollie Read? Is Beatrice Long? Does Mary Slaughter? Is Howard Green? Most wonderful are the sports, the football games when Owen saved the day, and Bob and joe and Carlton made such brilliant plays. Your pages would seem stale to anyone else, but to the white-haired man or woman who is living again the scenes of High School days, you have an everlasting charm. Bright as your destiny, oh, Narcissus! Filled with the youth, you carry a message to cheer and gladden the heart, when through years that shall be filled with sunshine and shadow, you spring open to the touch of the tired and withered hands, in the evening of life, to waft the mind and heart, forgetful of the long, long years of strife, back again to the happy, lovely days of youth. Oh, most wonderful Narcissus! XVork and art of Seniors dear, May the future days be brightened As they pass from year to year. MARGA1uz'r CARL, '2o. E!

MARY RIEIES MCKTNS'FRY, ,2O El EI Sums 152114112 me Zlinnm A King and two Dukes were once walking down a Lain to the Wfoods when they met a Wlolf and a Fox. The Dukes shrieked, and the King who was an artist in an emergency, set to work to make a Mosshammer with which he ex- pected to kill the VVolf. He hit him in the neck and Hurtt him so that he and the Fox ran off. Then they all saw a bush with some ripe Kearns on it which were being eaten by a Bird. These were no good but around the bush grew a great Deal of mushrooms. On closer examination they found that they had been picked at by a lVhitehead Qquailj and so they were out of Louck again. As they moved on their Wlay they came to a stream whose Banks were lined with boats which held but one person. This caused a Rouch as to which should cross first. Fortune decided for them and they all crossed at once in three boats. On the other side there was a Commons or Moore in the middle of which stood a Cabin but upon coming closer to it they found it was locked. The King took a bunch of Keys from his pocket and opened it. From the roof hung a lamp around which a lot of Millers were Hying. One corner was entirely spun with lVebbs of all kinds, Black and lVhite, and the logs had great Marks cut all over them. A Klump of bushes grew in another and an ivy vined itself upon a Rehling in another. This is no place for us,', said one of the Dukes and so they moved on. As soon as they came from the hut they saw a Rider encased in a suit of Black Mail, who raising his visor, said, lVho are you and from where do you come FU XYe are the King and the Dukes of the P. H. S., and what do you call yourself ?,' T am the Kaiser of the lfVoods and why have you beenitrespassing in my domains ? lVe are but going to Wfagoners to a dancef, The King still had his Mosshammer and deemed it a good time to use it, and just like a Crook, when the Kaiser was not looking, he dealt him a blow and moved on across the Moore. On the way they met Clearance who agreed to take one of the Dukes to the dance if the King would take the other. They came across a Hayes seed of whom they inquired the road to Wfagoner and the house where Ruth lived. He said, M280 West Seventh St. Peru, Ind., U. S. Af, So in the Gray of the night they made their VVay back across the Moore, through the VVoods and up the Lain to H280 West Seventh Street and all being too tired to dance they touched their heels upon the floor at every step and being laughed at, decided they had had enough exercise for one night. FRANCI s TURPIIC, ,2O. El EI El EI Zilhe Ilieuenge Hang Mark Johnson sat in school thinking deeply. lle wanted revenge. just the other day some boy friends had gone skating and had not even invited him. Of course they knew he did not have any skates and could not skate, but still, they might at least have given him the pleasure of refusing them. But, no, no one had said a thing and therefore he considered himself' deeply offended. XVhat could he do to get even! Then the idea came. He would give a party, one that would eclipse all of the other ones he had given, and would not invite them. Of course, he would see to it that they heard of it. And so it was only a few days until some invitations began going around to different fellows who were friends of the boys who had slighted him. But there was one break in his plan. He had not taken into consideration that he was not nearly so popular as the other boys, even if his father did own the biggest Department store in the cityg and therefore, not being far-sighted, he would have been surprised if he had known that as soon as the invited ones found out who were not invited, they immediately formed a conspiracy. The boys unanimously decided that something should be done. So, as usual, they ap- peared to Harry Copeland, and it was he who introduced the greatest plan ever, according to the boys' thinking. It was the night of the party and the Johnson house was brilliantly light- ed and decorated to suit the whims of Mark. Mark himself was strutting around in the reception hall awaiting the Hrst knock that would start the suc- cess of his plan of revenge. The clock struck eight. Just then the doorbell rang. Mark, all smiles, went to the front of the hall and waited for the first guest to be admitted. The door was opened and Mark waited for the appearance of the person from out of the darkness. But no one came in and Mark, eager and triumphant, called, Come on in fellows. Youire right on time. And into the hall, grinning from ear to ear, stepped a great big colored fellow. In his arm he carried a box, wrapped carefully. Then, noticing the pained and astonished expression on his young host's face, he said, with care- ful expression as if he had been drilled, f'Ain't dis' da place?,' El EI El EI At last Mark recovered from his surprise and demanded, Wliat are you doing here ?,' 4'Huh,', exclaimed the negro, f'Ain't dis where da indor' picnic am 'sposed to be? It shu am. Da card done say to bring yo, own eats, and dat's what I'se done, perzacklyf' To say Mark was angry would be mild. He could think of no excuse for the audacity of the man. At last he sad, XVell, you are wrong, this is most assuredly not the place you are thinking of, so leave here at once or I shall call the footman to help you. Do you hear me F he repeated as he saw the negro still standing there grinning. Leave at once, I say. The negro seemed reluctant, but finally said, 'Tse just knew I'se getting cheated out of da picnic, but I'se don, intend to take dis' box when I do. Ilse done carried it about two mile already and as I don' intend to carry it back, I'll leab it heah, and with that he dropped the box and bolted out the door. t'Wliat's thisll' exclaimed Mark, 'the surely wouldn't leave it if it contained anything to eat. Open it jeems, or no, maybe it is a bomb! No, sirf' said the footman, I hardly think so sir, it is too light, he said, picking it up. VVell, open it then, said Mark impatiently. Nothing but a stock of letters, addressed to you, sirf' said Jeems, taking them out of the box., Letters to me!', ejaculated Mark, let me read them. He began opening them, one by one. Every one contained the same words except the signature. Each invited guest had signed his name and each letter politely asked Mark to excuse that guest from attendance at the party. By the time he reached the last letter, he was sweating his rage all over. Then the last letter broke him completely. In contained only that familiar little verse: Smarty, smarty had a party, Nobody came but a great big darkyf' LEWIS BAKER, ,22 XY? El El El EI fkgg M3 lx 623' o J ' GIF 5 , Q E mm P EI EI El El Snrivig One of the important sections of our school life during the past year was that of the social affairs. As the old saying goes, we cannot have 'fall work and no play, so one can easily see by the following items that the students of Peru High School had their full share of play. CHEMISTRY CLUB WEENIE ROAST The first party of the year was a Weenie roast which was given by the Chemistry Club. After meeting at the High School building, the club members went out to the Daniels Farm where a huge fire was built. Here was spent a delightful time roasting the weiners and telling stories around the fire. Later in the evening the party went to the home of Opal Daniels, where they enjoyed dancing and card playing. Refreshments of hot chocolate and cakes were served. On December sixteenth, 1919, Miss Bottsford and the three Physical Edu- cation classes gave a Bloomer Party on the third floor of the High School build- ing. At first the girls danced and then the program began. It consisted of six stunts beginning with the Virginia Reel given by the VVhites of the second hour class. Everyone enjoyed the program for it was splendidly given. Next came some exciting and interesting races. In the suit case race Miss McDowell and Miss Bottsford won. There was another race in which one had to go over a table, under a pole, throw her ball over a rope and after catching it, jump some hurdles and finish by crawling through a barrel. This race was put to a stop when one of the girls broke the barrel while crawling through it. On VVednesday evening, December seventeenth, all the members of the Ex- celsior Botany Club were dressed in their best. They had a party at the Library Hall at which only members were invited. Everybody was feeling his best and the evening started out-a gay one. After an interesting program, games and dancf ing were the attractions of the evening. Shortly after refresh1nents were served and the party came to a pleasant close. El EI Em: Snrial The Box Social and dance given in the Phi Delta Kappa home for the benef fit of the Peru High School Athletic Association, was decidedly a success. A splendid program was given consisting of the following numbers: Piano Solo - Dwight Thornburg Violin Solo - - Ivan Smith Reading - - XValter Bixler Saxophone Solo - - Clayson Bell After this, Mr. Kendall presented the football men with the letters which they so valiantly fought for during the football season. The boxes were then sold, being auctioneered by Mr. Cook. Never were seen such pretty boxes, which created quite a rivalry in the bidding.

The clubs also had several social aitairs which were a great success in every way.

In the third quarter everybody seemed to give out and the end runs of the Vtfabash team brought them the victory of 32 to o. The boys started some real hard practice and on Oct. 4th they won from VVar- saw, at Peru, the victory of 39 to 6. XYarsaw got her touchdown by a fine for- ward pass in the last minute of the game. On Oct. 18th the team went to Kentland and got a real trimming of 40 to o. The next week they went to VVarsaw and won by the score of 26 to 6. W'arsaw, again got her touchdown in the last 1nin- ute. Then on the 15th of November, came a real battle at Logansport. Our boys got a touchdown in the first half on a captured forward pass, but failed to kick goal. Logansport got a touchdown in the third guarter and kicked goal. This made the score 7 to 6. Then the fellows started and took the hall down the field in line plunges for a touchdown, and the victory was ours by a score of T2 to 7. On Thanksgiving the team played the Alumni. This was one of the hardest games of the season but the boys put one over on the ex-stars and won by a score of 6 to O. A Efnast A toast to dear old Football!

EI El 152111 1'-Iiglfsa Ggmnazium High School athletics in the state of Indiana has made a remarkable growth during the last decade. This growth is due to adequate gymnasiums and the un- divided co-operation of the citizens to create enthusiasm and school spirit which always stands paramount in the trend of education and civilization. Now and forever we must breathe the atmosphere of this great necessity, which we call physical training, or we shall be standing as stumbling blocks in the road to higher development, About ten years ago Peru became the happy recipient of a beautiful, com- modious, partially constructed educational institution. This institution, however, should be facing the south with the smile of completeness and extending to ev- ery boy and girl a beckoning call to partake of the sun light of full development, but instead this institution, we lament to say, is facing northward, somewhat depressed, arms outstretched to right and left beseeching of Peru and surrounding communities the pleasure of clasping the greatest class room and asset that any institution can possess-a gymnasium. She feels that in order to make the best out of the student, the physical development must not be neglected, for it is the foundation from which mental activities and moral development must rise. As students of Peru High let us be of good cheerg we are living in a pro- gressive age, to turn backward would be sinful, we must advance. Clothe your- selves with school spirit and gymnasiuminfluence, the problem is yours for you are the citizens of the future. Wfhen the present established citizens see your needs, and they are conceiving them rapidly, they will meet your demands. Rome was not built in a day, neither can we build a gymnasium in a day, but start your foundation today and the near future will spell completion. The year 1921-22 will see Peru High School embracing a gymnasium and an auditorium, Peru High will have faced the south with a smiling countenance and an implied, cordial welcome. In her gymnasium we see organized play, physical development and school spirit Hourish, occasionally some town wishes on the stage of action, and out dashes the black and orange quintet delivering Waterloo as a dessert to the honorable visitors, while the bleachers rise up with a full measure of hilarity. Occasionally our attention is called to a lecture or a class play in the beautiful and commodious auditorium, we assemble, free our minds of the hard work for an interval and partake in unison of the message of the hour. No one is noisily struggling to find a seat, silence rules supreme and gives way to the chosen charactersg the true unit of society is formed. Having enjoyed the message, we pass on to the routine of our work with a more common conception of the broad- er phase of social life. Out of it all we realize that education has become a real business of life and a business the cause of which we must make it our business to promote.

This fact we attribute to the lack of a gymnasium and the shortage of equipment: no fault can be found concerning our student material. Peru possesses some of the best candidate athletic material in the state of Indiana and she is teeming with a desire to ripen into trained and powerful accomplishments, The proof of her material was realized early in the year when our illustrious eleven whipped into form, showing their true colors and spelling defeat to a big per cent of high class teams which they met upon the football field of competition. Through the entire season the true spirit of sportsmanship predominated and a unit of strength was revealedg the boys struggled hard and the results of the same are especially gratifying to the P. H. S. We owe them much praise because they were struggling under handicaps from various sources to keep our athletic school standard on a high elevation of recognition. Basketball failed to find the gate-way into P. H. S.g we grieve the condition very much, not only because we were barred from the competition of basketball sports, but because we did not get the physical training which would have strengthened the sinews of our ath- letic men and held them in good physical condition to confront the track and held work which we all prize so highly. Still we are happy anticipators of the athletic future. Peru Highls track and field men have always stood high in the eyes of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, and very seldom does a year expire but what the state claims one or two of the Peru boys in her honor list. The summer of 1919 placed Paul McCaffrey, the hurdler, on record and a rapid pace was set. This year we feel very optimistic for we have some promising material, which through some good drill and practice will be in a position to choke their honorable competitors with a cloud of dust. Our number is small, but at that, they are strong reserves for point winning in the VVa- bash Valley and District Track and Field Meets. Alec Borden comes to us as a great gift and with him comes his intentions of making his brother ashamed of the 440 pace record in l9l8. Brown, better known as the Hflying squirrel and the three step hurdlerf' deserves a tip from us all, while joe Bergman with his quick step and picturesque hurdle form will make an eyeopener for our happy meets. VValter Martin and Mark Kreutzer have not been running four miles every day for pastimeg they posses that mile staying quality that captures the punishing event, just watch and see.

EI EI Effrum 119112 wha Knnwz I entered it's portals a Freshman, very bashful and shy, My hopes and 1ny ambitions simply soared sky highg But I loved to play truant, so broke rule after rule, Hence, a year or two more I must spend in High School. Soon the class of Twenty'y that I loved so well XVill be leaving us with a sad farewell. For four long years in school I have been, But to graduate-gee! I wish I knew when. So, Freshman, oh Freshman, study and work, Don't do any fooling and your lessons don't shirk. For a year or two more in school I must stay, So you see, for my loanng and fooling, I'll pay. -Pugsley, '2I. Siuilrznt Aim VVanted+To learn how to Vamp.-Alice Rhein.

Our conception of service to the schools We work with includes much more than merely giving the highest quality of engravings that it is possible to produce. We always take a keen interest in both the finan- cial and the artistic success of every Annual for which We are privileged to prepare the engravings. It was this interest that prompted us in the prepa- ration and publication of the Stafford handbook, Engravings for College and School Publications which We furnish, free of charge, to the Annuals for which We Work. The success of this book and the fact that we Were the originators of this meth- od of co-operation, is to us a source of considerable pride. The publishers of this Annual will tell you that in the planning, financing and preparation of their book, this Staiord handbook was a veritable gold mine of helpful ideas and suggestions. A copy of this book, in addition to all the direct and individual co-operation you may need, and the benefit of our nearly thirty years specialization in college and school engraving, is available to all schools that appreciate this idea of service.
