There is a poem in the crimson rose, The sparkling stream is filled with poetry, The whispering winds, the swaying, sighing tree And all the wond'rous beauties nature knows. Where is the hidden beauty of the rose In thee, old P. H. S., inspiring me To praise thee in a sonnetg where the key That will unlock the treasures 'neath thy rows Of scribbled desks, within thy tall, dark halls? You loom against the sky, so silent, cold- But P. H. S., we have a love for thee That shows us beauty in those red brick walls. We love the rooms wherein we sat of old, We love thee all, and love is poetry. ly-four QEASSE , ff ' :Mx - ,QI N' M- ' -,-T-Til ' Ni X , '- :g,Q-'2?- , :EI H H -H-:- 'ft' 33 'QF ffgfiw- ' -' i-ll g,,5':v-X ff, Ii h fl-xs.

We were of the fabulous number of about two hundred. Of course we were small and unacquainted with the great new World we had just entered. Nevertheless, we had high ideals as all freshmen have, and we at once set about with the aid of the faculty to make our dreams come true. The following year several of our men went on the athletic teams, and our class was continually making the honor roll. Then, as juniors, we were again breaking records and setting new standards. However, there was a vacancy which could not be filled. The death of Noble Hurst, our first leader, left us very sorrowful. We missed his good humor and the laurels which he was constantly bestowing upon our class. Now, as seniors, we are beginning to realize the attainment of our ideals, thanks to the faculty and the just judgment of our principal and superintendent. We also most sincerely appreciate our parents' help for making it possible to attain our goal. -Edna Demuth, '26.

So soon our high school days have passed That much of our lives is through, We are seniors now, and leaving Forever the high school of ol' Peru. Too soon the parting of the ways has comeg We will separate, scatter, and roamg But our memories will ever linger Living again the school days at home. Evelyn Warder, '26. 5 ei k illiiirrzmi nf Illatv The old gypsy slowly turned the ball of crystal which she held in her wrinkled, skinny fingers, and looking intently upon the kaleidoscopic pic- tures which flickered here and there around the surface of the crystal, be- gan in a low croon, monotonous but musical, somehow, in a sort of a plaintive way: What is to be will be, what is to be will be-thus it is written by Fate -and thus it will be given to you-upon the Horizon of the Future I see for the Class of Nineteen Twenty-six a Forecast of Fate. Happy, yes, suc- cessful, yes, tragic, perhaps 5-ah, experience will soon become a member of the Faculty of Life-all will learn the lessons that are inevitable and cannot be dodged. The first scene-ah, yes, fourteen years hence, in nineteen forty I see a religious colony situated near Twelve Mile. Who is the founder of the Mormonistic Holy Roller Huxleyism sect? Ah, who else but Edmund Huxley! There he lives expounding with 'great gusto the principles of his religion, loving and loved by his adoring wives, Mabel Munro, Lucretia Dubois, Eleanor Duge, Marie Wagner, Evelyn Warder, Mary Guillaume, Edith Babcock, Dorothy Bell, Gertrude Moeck, Flora Whistler, and Hazel Shauman. And there, draped in flimsy red flannel pajamas, dances during the religious ceremonies a famous toe-dancer, Thurlow Stiers, showing of to great advantage his manly physique so often lauded by Miss Galbreath. The second scene-in a land of flowers and sunshine I see the former bashful Ray Pugsley, writing a story based upon his experiences while ushering in the Colonial Movie Palace, entitled The Phantom of the High Schoolf, Accordingto the present outlook, Wallace Miner, world-famed director, will direct the masterpiece. The following is the cast: The Phantom . ccccccc . rrrrra, A Lorena Bohn The Hero ,c.,cc or c.c.ccWalter Stadler The Villaincccaa ccccrrrrr. .Dick Landgrave Pollyanna ........,., , .cccc,,,,,ccc . ci,., Fliss Andrews Sis Hopkins ci....cc.,cc ,.

The third scene, I see a busy street in Chicago-there dressed in blue uniform with brass buttons is the traHic cop, Amy Chalkley. Who is that driving up in that stunning Fallen-Arch Six? Oh, yes, Mr. and Mrs. Noyelles Burkhart, with Mrs. Burkhart, formerly Katey Jane Denk, hold- ing Junior. With them is Miss Dotty Haas, who has not yet decided upon Palg 1: I o1'ty-sin: , , , , the unlucky man, but who is still being courted by the persistent Walter Phillips. Her former suitors, William Reed, Robert Snyder, John Kuch, Russel Haag, Herbert Ewing, and Homer Buckalew are heart-broken be- cause of the many refusals for marriage and her fickle nature. They are now contemplating suicide. , K'There on the same busy corner, I see Doc Wagoner, who learned his bad habits at the Sigma Nu house, rushing up to his room-mate, Bill Church, and shouting in poor Bill's ear, Hey, come back here with my best tie, you dirty bum I You know I have a date tonight with Ann Bixlerf' The two gentlemen then began a very heated argument, since Bill says he needs the flashy tie worse than Doc because he has a date with Eunice Vermillion. Due to the loud talking, a large crowd gathers and when the young men come to blows, the angry mob soon begins in a fiendish way to kill everyone in sight. Some of the most blood-thirsty are: Beatrice Rassner, Helen Roller, Bessie Thompson, Ruth Wendt, Bob Kramer, Earl Welke, Sam Shapiro, Oden Rickard, Herb Phillabaum, Helen Biggs, Lela Bennet, Helen Condo, Edna Demuth, Cathryn Edwards, Clyde Carver, Lucile Linerode, and Margaret Smith. I The fourth scene, I see a national convention being held at Chili, In- diana, for the Welfare of Bugs and Insects. Ofliciating as president of the society is Mrs. Joe Coppock, formerly Miss Everissa Waite, who says in the welcome address, Friends, I feel that it is such a noble duty to care for the bugs of America! ! The dear little things are really so cunning and harmless. Two of the most deserving insects I ever knew were Wilson Eikenberry and Joe Phillips. Following Mrs. Coppock's address, Mrs. Fred Allman, formerly Miss Margaret Davis, gave a talk on Why I Love Bugs I Present at the convention are Misses Lillian Wagner, Helen Thurwacter, Villa Stecher, Marie Rupp, Genevieve Bennet, Louise Sholty, Julia Schmidt, and Messrs. Don Burnett, Charles Buckley, John Loveland, Richard An- trim, Ed. Troyer, and' Luke Ogden, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Nicodemus, and Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Reuter. The next scene opens in a country of the Far North-Alaska, with Miss Amy Souder conducting a cooking school. On this certain afternoon her subject for experiment and lecture is, Ice-cream? She hopes to im-- press upon the Eskimoes how important it is to acquire the art of dainty cooking with the use of None-Such mince-meat, Ko-we-ba green beans, Libby's dill pickles, and Sunshine lady-lingers. Judging from the rapt expression upon the faces in her audience, Miss Souderls course is being enjoyed. Among those present at the school are: Mary Church, Velma' Beck, Lenora Evans, Naomi Grumpp, Edith Ireland, Wilma Landis, Mary Miller, Ruth Mills, Louise Johnston, and Elizabeth Puterbaughf' At this point, the old gypsy looked into the crystal ball with perplexity written upon her severe features, then, after a few moments of silence, she began again. I see a large ship sailing towards the Mediterranean. It seems as though the passengers there are going to Africa to trace their ancestry. Sid Melson is heading the expedition, and his other followers who expect to find their ancestors climbing around in the trees of the Page Forty-seven jungle are: Norman Lund, Jonathan Cockley, Mildred Davis, Hilda Howard, Dave Conyers, Edith Ireland, Ralph Wissinger, Lawrence Johnston, and Louise Bell. The old gypsy then stated that Peru appears on the crystal as the capital of the U. S. The White House stands on the corner of the former Manhattan Inn. Upon closer observation of the crystal, Georgia Martin, Urla Murphy, and Paul Welke are to be seen polishing the brass railings down the steps. A large limousine drives up the driveway and immediately Albert Fasnacht steps out and opens the door for President Leonard Reuter and Mrs. Reuter, formerly Jean Carlson. Also Ott Riggle, Secre- tary of State, and his flnancee La Vera Williams, are in the party. The same afternoon the Women's League of Anti-Candy Hounds, pay a visit to the president. The members who are particularly radical concerning the eating of candy are: Irene Cattin, Dorothy Kistler, Myrtle McSwain, and Mary Alice Petty. Again the gypsy turned the ball, and placed her fingers to her temples. Jim Cain and Fred Kiser have invented water-proof, flesh colored bathing suits which will prevent anyone from drowning. Josephine Vignary, Iza Troyer, and Mary Sullivan demonstrated the suits at the Olympic Swim- ming Contest held in the Wabash River. Patrick Burke is the assistant of Kenny York, and has succeeded in producing odorless limburger cheese and garlic. Melvin Briggs, in be- half of the German people, headed a delegation to the United States to check this disastrous production, Melvin interceded with the company and explained that the people of Germany need their garlic and limburger full strength. 'Dey tink it keeps eifery vun, including de doctor, away,' he explained. Quietly the old gypsy clapped her hands over the wonderful magic crystal. Time will tell, she murmured.

Although We found e out differently the first Week, we had the spirit. During that year the Girlis Basket Ball Team was organized, and We did our bit by putting five freshmen girls on the team, besides being represented in all other branches of athletics. We also Won the thrift cup which was given to the class that saved the most during the thrift contest. The second year, We came here a much Wiser class, and in our turn laughed at the freshmen. We showed our independence by electing a girl president, who very successfully piloted us through the sophomore year. This, our junior year, has been the most successful, and we believe we have done much for the good of the schooland hope to do more in the last year of our high school life. Helen DeBolt.

' But remember how big and old you felt when you entered Junior High? And hopefully looked at old P. H. S. which loomed in the distant sky? Remember your fear on that looked-for day, when you stood with trembling awe, A freshman lost in the high school rooms, and the juniors and seniors saw? And now three years, since that fateful day, have passed so quickly by, And you've learned to love that dear high school which loomed in the dis- tant sky. You're a junior now, and you're proud of your class, but you're proud of the whole school, too. When you leave in a year, you'll surely Want that school to be proud of you. So you'll make the most of that last short year and strive with a noble mind. You'll learn to appreciate your school when you've left its gates behind. Miriam Bossard.

H. S. timid, frightened, seemingly lost groups of boys and girls, who formed the Freshman Class of '24. Today they are sophomores, they have Won the respect of their supe- riors by much struggling and effort, and they are now striving to reach their goal, Success, by patiently doing their best, putting forth their great- est eifortsg not vainly, but in the cherished hope that by so doing they will win an honored place in the annals of their school and set a mark that coming sophomores will endeavor to reach. The sophomores have already won eminence in athletics, oratory, and classes, and they are now trying to protect that distinction by attempting to accomplish those tasks for which they are best fitted, co-operating with the other classes in their attempts to make Peru High School a bigger and better school.

His song was clear as a melody, And he sang, Cheer up, cheer up , to me. 'Twas only a bird-the first of the year, But oh, he told me that spring was near! The trees stood lonely, stark, and bare, With stately grace in the cold, keen air. The branches groaned 'neath the weight of snow. Came the days of March, so long and slow, They seemed so long, but oh, how brief- For the trees were bursting into leaf! The cold, sharp days of winter passed, And the winds of March were strong and fast. But March must go. I awoke one day 5- And thought at first 'twas the breath of May. Through my window came-that balmy breeze, That warm spring wind in the whispering trees. 'Twas only a bird, and the grass, and the trees, And the wonderful air with its soft, warm breeze But I knew, and I sang, and my heart was glad, For winter was gone, and the world was clad ln garments of green and in dewdrops clear, And a little bird told me that spring was here. X 7 Page Siwty-sc HIS FIRST REFUSAL Yes, James, you are sixteen and nearly seventeen, just a nice age to begin going out a little. Now you go to the telephone and ask that nice little Mary Jones up in the next block to go to the theatre this evening. She is such a sweet little thing. Mother, I can't ask her. Why the fellows would never get through teasing me, and besides, we are saving our money to buy new baseball uni- forms. We don't take girls places! We're women-haters! Now, James, you needn't argue, Iive made up my mind you won't be as awkward and as ill at ease as your father was. But, mother, if I must ask someone, why can't it be Jeanette Chal- mers, she at least has some style to her. Besides, none of the fellows have ever had dates with Mary, we like cl-ass ! Son, how often have I told you to say engagement, not date? You say Jeanette Chalmers? Her mother and I have not spoken in months, and she is the biggest gossip! 'I could tell you something that she told Mrs. James, and Mrs. James told that old woman next door, and she told me. Really! And her father borrowed our lawn mower and never returned it. All right! If I must. He calls the number dejectedly. Hello, Mary, is this you ? Whyuh, may I have a d - - - ? Not a date! May I take you to the theatre? Heavens, James !

One just natur- ally follows the other, with fraternity pins as the sum total. However, college might be omitted so far as the girls are concerned. More than one recipient of these great jewel robberies hasn't been co-ed-much to the co-ed's chagrin! Fraternity pins, as the fraternity pin collector will tell you, come in all sizes and shapes. File to the right and take your choice. There are square ones, oblong ones, triangles, stars, and sword and shields. There are plain ones, and ornate ones that scintillate brilliantly on manly chests. That is, they usually scintillate until spring, when under the influence of soft breezes and softer moonlight, certain mystic rites take place, and the next day it is plain for all to see that the Great Spring Drive is on again. The so-called manly chests are bare and undecorated, and the maidenly heart palpitates under certain new glittering adornments. And among those who survive the insidious attack of that soft air, there is a great weeping for the lost brotherhood. Those pins, which are surrounded by glamour and a peculiar fascina- tion, are so intriguing that they cause supposedly sensiblejfellows to live in willing servitude, to gallop around the chapter house doing menial tasks, silly and worse, and to be paddled daily. The excited freshman writes home to Papa and Maman about the dear old fraternityn, and the pin that is to be his sometime. And Papa and Mama are properly impressed when the chip off the old block comes home with the pin resting regally on a chest nearly bursting with pride. In fact, Papa and Mama are just a little overcome by all this Greek grandeur and slightly awed by the mystery carried with it. That is the case unless Papa was once a fraternity man himself, and then he struts and boasts more than the old chip-if that were pos- sible-and reminisces long and boresomely about his grand old days at college. The love and admiration given fraternity pins is tremendous. There is a certain sentimental tenderness about them that will make an other- wise hard-shelled, unemotional business man almost maudlin, when con- versation brings up thoughts and memories of that dear old Beta pin , the finest chapter of all, and the grandest school on earth. Silly, sentimental, mysterious, splendid, adorable, grand or stupid, call them what you will but-here's to fraternity pins! One Who Knows. THE CHARLESTON The people of the United States are divided into three classes, those who can Charleston, those who cannot but know not that they cannot, and those who cannot but know that they cannot. Someone has said, There is no fool like an old fool, but be it young or old, there is no fool like the Charleston crazed one. The introduction of the Tango was met with a gasp from awe stricken chaperons, the Camel Walk was universally disapproved, the Finale and Flee Hop were apparently the last straw, but when the Charleston was introduced, the true climax of them all, even our worthy matrons launched into an ordeal in an attempt to learn it. Surely there is no more comical sight than to see one of our Page Seventy-one Hpleasingly plump would be 'itry anything once women out on a floor attempting to kick her heels up in the air like a frisking young colt. Her appearance could more accurately be compared to an over active elephant, but when an elephant becomes too spirited, he can be shot or at least chained, but alas! no such provision is made in our social circles for these Charleston mad elders. The Charleston is not a dance-it is a disease, and our future seems imperiled if some of the energy put forth is not directed in other channels. However, there may be another smallpox epidemic, thereby necessitating the traditional vaccination that may save the day. Everissa Waite, '26. POOR PAT TY To a chance passerby there was nothing at all in Patricia Ball's ap- pearance to excite undue criticism. Nor was there in her neat attire a single fault-a clash of colors or a style passe-at which high school boys and girls could slyly laugh behind her back. Yet Patricia imagined in her self-conscious little mind as she pursued her weary Way to school that peo- ple were continually looking at her, at her round, freckled face and pug nose, at the bright red hair, whi-ch fell in unruly ringlets around her forehead. She wished she had the nerve to wear flashing sport hose, but she would be sure to purchase a pair which would be a cause of more merriment to her comrades. Gee! What if those oxfords rubbed a hole in her hose! Horrors! Patricia had the inferiority complex-self-consciousness, fear of peo- ple. And so she lived not in the world of her high school classmates, but in the world of her vivid imaginations. There she was tall and beautiful with black hair and clear complexion. She moved in a social circle whose members were cultured and refined and wore gorgeous gowns. And lo! Patricia had her long coveted poise and self-confidence. Unlimited were her conversational powers. Charming and alluring, she formed the cen- ter of attraction among a select group of rich men's sons who were lazy and idle or successful in business, as the case might be. In the group was one who was Patricia's ideal, so tall and handsome, kind and understand- ing, grand and fine, with great facilities of mind. Never in her dreams was Patricia her grinning, freckle-faced self. Never did she hope to attain in reality the place she held in her thoughts. But the story of The Ugly Duckling was her favorite tale. Po-or Patty, to think herself so homely, to hate her crowning points, that jolly grin, those twinkling blue eyes, the kind heart. Hi, Patty, a boyish voice spoke up, half shyly, as Don Rawley rounded the corner and caught up with Pat's footsteps. Poor Patty, smiling so happily did not find faults in others as she found them in herself. Not Don's sandy hair, standing on end, not his large, awkward hands nor his shufiiing feet she saw, but his charming smile that revealed the rows of beautiful white teeth, and his tallness- oh, his blessed tallness! The two young people walked to the school house talking, with rather embarrassing lulls in the conversation. But when they reached the steps, Don turned suddenly to his companion and said eagerly, I say, Patricia, will you go to the Commencement Dance with me?', Taken by surprise, Patricia for a moment did not know what to reply, although her pulses were beating excitedly. True, she had gone to a class Page Seventy-two party with Don once and a Sunday school picnic, and he had taken her to a show several weeks ago. And he was captain of the basket-ball team. But a dance-the wonderful Commencement Dance! 'Tm a terrible dancer, she was going to say, but instead, Oh-- thank you so much, Don. Why,-l-why--. I'd just love to go. She walked home from school that evening alone, and as she walked she told herself, I mustn't be self-conscious. I'm as good as anybody else. I must think of other things and not how I look. I've got to get over be- ing self-conscious. She told the joyful news to her mother and was promised a lovely evening gown and silver slippers. How funny I'll look in a sleeveless, laughed Patty mournfully. Oh, I mustn't say that! Every night for three weeks Patricia practiced dancing, with her brothers, with Harriet, her sister, and Mildred, her chum, with Herbert, her cousin, with John, her next door neighbor, by herself. You're a good little dancer now, Patsj' said her brother with brother- ly approval, and Patricia glowed. The eventful night arrived, Don Rawley came at nine o'cl-ock. i'Gee, Patty, you'll knock 'em cold in that dress, he said as he held her coat. You sure look pretty. Why, how impossible! She pretty? With her freckles? Impossible! But she was glad he thought so anyway. His saying so made her heart skip a beat. At the dance as if by magic, Patty's self-consciousness gradually slipped from her, and she found herself one of the merry, laughing group of girls, swaying unconsciously to the music of the orchestra. Don's awk- ward feet glided more gracefully over the floor than she had hoped, and how easily she could follow him! He had secured good partners for her, too! Oh, Patricia had a wonderful time! Coming home she said to her escort, Where are you going to college ? Don was a senior. ' He laughed. It's been a secret. I applied about five years ago and didn't tell anybody. Now I'm going sure. . But-iwhere ?,' Westpoint !'! 'KWestpoint! Westpoint? How perfectly grand! Why, Don, that's fine! Congratulations! You'll be the only boy of our town in Westpoint, won't you? Really? Oh, I think that's great! You'll be distinguished. Will you write to me while I'm there 'V' he inquired anxiously. You know, it'll be a kinda hard life when I'm only a plebe, and I'll just have to have news from home. Will you write to me, Patty? Huh ? Christmas vacation had come, with snow and holly and mistletoe, high school out, and Don Rawley home from Westpoint. How handsome he looked in his military uniform, tall and straight as a soldier should be. He walked up town with Patricia once and came to her house one night. All the girls were jealous. The night of his departure came, and he was saying good-bye to her! And Pats, listen. The big prom at C-ommencement time-it's a huge Page S eventy-three . affair, you know. I wish you'd come up and go to the dance with me. You've just got to come! Will you ? anxiously. To?to Westpoint? breathed Patricia, gloriously. You'd go big up there. Go-go big at Westpoint? said she in a very small voice. Why sure. If you'd seen half the funny looking girls and awful dancers up there that I've seen,-why they're not half as good-looking as you are. But-but-my freckles, my hair! Pooh! You wouldn't be you without red hair and freckles. Besides, I bet there won't be another girl there with red hair and freckles. You'll be distinguished. Silence. Then you'll come, Patty? Please say yes. Why-of course Don, you dear. Of course I'll come. Poor Patty. Miriam Bossard, '27 . MODERN SALLY Sally! ! Go wash that horrid stuff off your face, admonished her mother, who was a very prim old lady. I don't know what is to become of our girls. Mercy! Mercy! You girls think you can't step out without a lot of vile paint on your cheeks and lips. Sally, look at your shoes, you will catch your death of cold. Why, in my days we girls never thought of wearing such impossible shoes. Velvet! l Why, we were considered ine if we had a velvet bodice to a dress. Velvet shoes? Dear, oh dear, you will be the death of me yet! Go right up stairs and put on some woolen hose. Who ever heard tell wearing such indecent hose? Why, Sally, it looks as though you-er-aldidn't have any stockings on. Sally, didn't I tell you to put some sleeves in that dress? You just march right upstairs and change that flimsy bit of nothing of a dress. Do put some- thing sensible on. Indeed, to think I should rear such a child. To think of the shame of it. Such shocking wearing apparel as you can think of to get. I'm going to stop your allowance if you don't quit spending it on such disgusting triflesf' Just then Sally edged in on the long drawn out talk. Aw, Mom, can't a fellow wear what he wants to without you kickin' all of the time? Fer heavens sake quit harpin' on that dress stuff. I'm so darned tired hearin' 'Sally go right up and change this, and Sally, go right up and change that' -Aw, my gosh, mom, I wish you wouldn't be so dawgoned ol' fashioned. Sally! ! I insist that no child of mine shall use such language in my presence. Oh! Oh! Nobody knows how I've tried to teach you right. Slam! went the door, Hello, mums, was Bud's greeting to his mother. t'What's the confugalty? Oh, say, sis, there's the swellest orchestra in town, Pat Henderson's 'Jazz Hounds' Well, theylre playin' at the Water Queen Gardens tonite. What say? Wanna go? But, do you really mean it, you will take me but, isie1'lEddie goin'? Wished he was. I'll tell you, you ask him if he's goin'f' Tingling tingling went the phone-- Oh I'll answer it mother. t'Hello! Eddie! What? it it if You're a dear to ask meg of course I wanta go. if it Yes at eight it it so long. Oh say Ed, what color do you like best? if if at Yellow? ' if if Well all right, ol' jealousy! Sally hung up the receiver, and exclaimed to Bud, He called me! He called me! Oh, I'm so thrilled! Say kid com'ere, as she sidled over to him. Prnya Smwmty-four Coax mom in a good humor will you? And say, how would you like for Katy Dean to stay all night with me '? Huh ?'y Fine, replied Bud, Nothin' could suit me better. I think she's a peach. Go call her and ask her if she'd like to go. All right, kid, I'll do anything for you if you can get mom out of that mood of 'go right up and change this and that'. Bud interrupted her by saying, Well, then, that's settled. I'll ask dad for the car. When eight o'clock came, Sally tripped down the stairs a very radiant being, dressed in a dazzling canary yellow dress of georgette, chiffon, and lace. She looked like a bit of Huff, her large blue eyes sparkling with ex- citement. She was a picture, from her dainty golden curls to her tiny satin clad feet. Hey! mom, has Bud gone after Kate yet? were her first words, after skipping down the stairs and going over to her mother for inspection. Hey, indeed! He has gone after Kate, but I daresay he didn't need any hay, nor do I need any. Will he go after Eddie, too? she asked eagerly. Oh so he said, but I do wish you would have put sleeves in that dress, also make it six inches longer. Oh 'sall right, exclaimed Sally, wait'll you see Kate's new dress? Just then a honk-honk sounded from the large sedan in which three excited persons waited for our own Sally. She donned her coat and away she sped singing softly-'Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now. Mother heaved a sigh, Dear, oh dear, my modern children. Virginia Crim. DISCOURSE ON GIRLS This subject is one of the most perplexing questions of modern times. For if anything is hard to understand, difficult to reason with, and stub- born at all times, it is certainly none other than a girl. I write this article in order that the many youths and Romeos in P. H. S. may save themselves before it is too late. r Girls, I find, are divided into four classes. 1. First, there are the fiirts. I will not say much about this class as I think you can easily recognize these, and beware of them. 2. Second, there comes the popular girl. If you go with these girls, you have nothing to gain and everything to lose. They will go with you, and spend your money until they find a better looking fellow, or a better dancer, and then all's offf' They leave you flat. 3. The third class is the shy, old fashioned, stay at home girl. If you are going with one of these or intend to, you had better prepare for a funeral. for after about two weeks you will be deader than a cemetery at midnight. 4. The last class, and without a doubt the worst of them all, are the athletic girls, those who play basket-ball, tennis, and other such games. If you value your health, life, and other essentials, don't go with one of these. Many of them are a tough, hard-boiled lot, who, if you don't do what they wish, will knock you for a row of tomb stones. In the summer time they drag you out to the tennis courts when the mercury is about one hundred twenty degrees higher than it ought to be, and after three hours of misery they invite you and about fifty girl friends over to the soda fountain fthey invite, you payl. In the winter they drag you out bobsledding or ice-skating when the weather resembles that of Alaska. or some country farther north, and what makes it worse, they make you enjoy it. I hope you will profit by this article and play safe. Just a friend. Page SC7J!!'I'LtYl'l DISCOURSE ON BOYS Boys, like adds, are classified 5 1. There is the handsome fellow, the one with the slick black hair and the latest clothing, better known as the shiek. Of course, he is very popular, and one feels honored to go with him, but he soon gets dissatisfied with the girls. 2. Next is the musician. He is looked up to by every one, and he knows it. He thinks of nothing but his music, therefore he has no time for gir s. 3. Third, is the studious boy. The girl who goes with this boy is to be pitied, He spends most of his time studying, and when he gets with other people, he uses such large, uncommon words that no one can under- stand him. He, also, has that superior air. 4. Fourth is the athletic boy. This boy has to keep training, and so can have very few dates, and has to be home very early. It does not do his girl any good to like sweets as he is not allowed to eat them so he thinks she shouldn't either. He is usually very snobbish and thinks no one is so go-od as he. 5. And last but not least is the humorous boy. He is funny and en- tertaining. Oh, my yes. For a little while, then it gets monotonous. Now, girls, take my advice and LET THE BOYS ALONE. The boys, however, can go to Bunker Hill, and maybe the girls out there will like their stuff. From one who knows! TAKING TICKETS No matter how cold the weather, there is always a crowd of people standing outin front of the gym, anxiously waiting to be the first ones in. As soon as the doors are opened, the mob-scene starts. The early crowd, consisting of young boys and girls, mostly, runs up the steps, and pokes a bunch of season tickets at you all at once, each wanting to be the first to have his punched. After the mob-scene comes a gentle flow of people, young, old, and middle-aged, Who want to see their home team win. In this large crowd there are many different kinds of people:- First are those who are there to see the game and root for their team, who, after buying their tickets, are willing to give them up peace- ably to gain entrance to the gym. Second are those who come to see the game as mere pastime, Who, on entering, without considering those back of them or those trying to collect the tickets, first hand theirs to one ticket-taker then to the other, and after grabbing it away from each of them, have to laugh and ask you if you didn't know that that was what made people poor, grabbing for things they don't get. Third, are those who think a game is a place for a social gathering where their whole gang can get together, not only for the excitement but also to have something to gossip about over the week-end. The most com- mon characteristic of this kind is their begging to get in because they have lost their season tickets or forgotten them, and promise you they will bring them the next time and let you punch them twice. Fourth, are those who chew gum. Under normal conditions these peo- Page Seventy-six ple may belong to one of the other classes, but at the game they are set aside from the others because of their rhythmical jaws. The conversation of these different people is just as queer as they are. Those of the first group, if they say anything, ask how you think the game will turn out, or remark about the large crowd. Those of the second group, who are generally in a hurry, ask some fool question, as: Have you saved a seat for me 'Zi' After they have hurried through the door, they stop right inside, forgetting their rush, giving the ushers the job of herding them into the balconies. Those of the third like this, Oh, isn't he adorable? I think he is just perfectly darling. And those of the fourth,-well-that's where my story ends. Wilson Eikenberry, '26, THE REBELLION OF ROSY The Misses Beatrice and Rosanna Patterson sat on the veranda of their old-fashioned homestead. Their life-time secrets and sorrows were known only to those four grim walls. In Miss Rosanna's life there had been a sorrow, indeed, for she had loved and lost. Though this had been twenty years ago, she had not recovered. Rosy believed in the adage, Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, while Bea- trice regarded all men alike, deficient. Rosy laid down her sewing and rose in rebellion. Bee, she exclaim- ed, do you want to go to church tomorrow ? Bee gasped, Why we haven't missed a Sunday since ma and pa died. Well, we've been settin' around here sewing for that church bazaar a month, and they d0n't even thank you for it. They're always around here after money for a stove for the Jones', and we need one worse for our parlor. All can go to church that wants to, but I'm goin' fishin'. She then went to get some bait. When she returned, she fo-und Bea- trice making preparations for a lunch. She had been converted to Ros- anna's way of thinking. The next morning found the spinsters on their way to the creek. Bea- trice carried the lunch, and Rosanna carried the fishing tackle. They put the lunch under a tree, and a stray cow made way with the basket. They blamed the Widow Jones for this. They caught three small fish and were driven home by pangs of hunger. They stole down the road, hiding behind bushes in order to avoid meeting their sisters of the congregation, but they were seen by the Widow Jones, and it was all over the neighborhood in a short time. The preacher came to lead back the lambs to the fold, but had little influence with the sisters. The firmness of Beatrice caused the preacher to regard her with a new interest and wondered why her charms had previously escaped him. Now it was rumored in the village that a circus was coming, and the sisters looked forward to this with delight. The night before the circus Miss Rosy curled her hair on papers, and Miss Beatrice followed suit. All possible preparations were made for the next day. D'you know, Rosy confided, I feel just like something unusual is going to happen, and we ought to look our best. They spent all morning dressing, and as the village was lacking in rouge, they rubbed a red-backed cook book over their cheeks. Their late Page Seventy-seven -nl arrival at the tent produced the desired effect. Women glanced at them jealously, while men gazed at them in admiration. The preacher himself was there and watched Beatrice with interest. They occupied the most expensive seats and were on the first row. Their attention was attracted by a clown in front of them who, upon seeing Rosy, stood as though petrified. Tell me, Bee, she whispered nervously, is my hat on straight or what is the matter that he acts so queer ? Bee could see nothing wrong. The clown moved but lingered in that vicinity during the performance. As they went out of the tent, an arm touched Rosanna's. At the same time the preacher came to Beatrice and, seeing Rosanna occupied, led Beatrice away. Rosy was confronted by the stranger, for so he appeared to be. He drew her away from the crowd and said, Don't you know me, Rosanna ? Of course she did. Yes, Tom, but where have you been these twenty years? I thought you had forgotten me. Everything was explained on the homeward walk. He had been the clown, and he was the sole owner of the Wilson show. They leaned over the fence half hidden by a fragrant lilac bush, and talked of the past and future. This same fence was witness to the plans of another couple that same eveningg Bee and the preacher. This was the beginning of joy in the hearts of the Patterson sisters. Mildred Sell, '27. HO! THE FRESHMEN Oh the freshmen, how verdant, how surprisingly unsophisticated! They clutter our halls and get under our feet at every turn. They park their kiddy cars and toddlers outside their lockers and strew their mittens and kitty-hoods all over the floor. Continually they get their rompers splashed at the drinking fountain, and their teachers are harassed by the wail, Please, may I get a drink ? or May I play with my dollie ? 'til at last they are spanked soundly and sent down to the ofiice. Here they are given the finishing touches by the Big Chief. But oh how indispensible these self-same rhinies . Whom should we get to run our errands? How dismal our class rooms without their cher- ubic faces! Would that time could lengthen itself out, and they could re- main freshies, if not in class, at least, in attitude, with a ninety-nine per cent pure, Ivory Soap personality. Only too soon they emerge into a super- sophisticated soph, and from thence into junior boredom and skepticism, until finally, the chrysalis has opened-a senior. Bless fem! we love 'em, and down deep in our hearts, we shall always have the tenderest feelings for the freshie, whose only motto seems to be- Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. I 1 9 fy lit SPOOK HAVEN It was a dreary mid-night in November. Outside it was raining, and the shutters on the old house squeaked and groaned as if in protest against the wind. I was reading a ghost story which made me feel very creepy. All at once I heard a thump that sounded unnatural. I listened-yes, there it went again. I wondered what it was, for I had heard that the old house was haunted. Five scares later I started up the old winding stairs. Just as I reached the top landing, I heard the loud thumping again. I dropped my candle and stood there trembling. Having waited there a while and not having heard the sound again, I put on a brave front and started for my room. Thump-thump! It sounded again, and I ran the rest of the way to my room. I rushed in and locked the door behind me. I turned and-there staring out of the darkness were two glowing and glaring eyes. They started toward me-they moved closer. I couldn't move, for I stood rooted to the spot with terror. The eyes moved still closer-they were at my feet, and then out of the darkness came a cry- M-e-o-W! So the would be ghost turned out to be a cat, but still I didn't know where the thumps came from so I started to investigate. It turned out to be a branch of a tree swaying in the wind, and when an extra large gust of wind came, the branch would bump against the house. Darrel Hamilton. SPRING FEVER Spring, in all its glory, was upon the earth, and in the heart of ev- eryone, especially Mary Kent, who had been so lost in reveries that she had whiled away two perfectly good assemblies aimlessly drawing pictures in her history book and gazing out of the windows at the budding trees and flowers. Those horrid Revolutionary War dates could never be learn- ed, and what did she care about who won or lost-it was all over now, and, anyway, spring was here. Let's see, she thought, looking at her history, Declaration of In- dependence 1776. I wonder who's going to take me to that party tonight. Joe's sick in bed, and I guess he can't-Hm-m-m, wish Dick would ask me. Oh dear, I almost forgot those dates again, Declaration of Independence 1776, Battle of Lexington and Concord 1775, American victory, Battle of Bunker --lf. Her eyes left her history and wandered around the room, coming to rest upon the dark head of Dick. Just as she looked, he turned around and held up a note for her to see and pointed to the door. She gasped and smiled, thinking excitedly! ' Now, I wonder what he wants. Bet he is going to ask me to the party. Oh, I hope that's what he wants, cause I do think he's the darling- est thing. Oh I'll never get those dates-Battle of Bunker Hill, British Page Seventy-num victory, capture of Crown Point and Ticonderoga-wonder where that is now. I don't know and donit care, anyway maybe she won't ask me that- I haven't time to look it up anyway. She glanced at the clock. Only three more minutes and she would get that precious note. Why didn't time fly faster? At last the bell, and that note which, sure enough, asked her to the party and then-history! I Miss Day, the teacher, was handing out those Well known yellow ex- amination paper sheets. A Oh, do We have a test today 7 Mary cried, dismay written all over her face. Yes, certainly, over the Revolutionary War. I thought AI told you that yesterday, Miss Day replied. Mary sighed and sat down. She knew how examinations counted in Miss Day's little red book. Oh well, spring was here, and there was al- ways a tomorrow to get one's history lesson. Helen DeBolt. p, RECQLLECTION The evening was dreary, and the gray day was gradually darkening into night. The rain still pattered steadily down the windowpane, blurring the view from sight. Inside, the room was cozy and Warm, with only the soft light of the flickering fire dancing along the shadowy walls. The silence was broken only by the slow ticking of the big clock on the stairs and the rustling of the pages of the book that I was reading. Seated in a deep coxwell chair, I slowly turned the pages of my annual, gazing at the dear familiar faces of my schoolmates. As I scanned each face, certain half-forgotten incidents connected with them brought a smile to my face and others, a tear to my eye. What a bunch of girls and boys were these! Always working together for the betterment of our beloved school. How proud were we of our orators, our athletes, and our rewards won for the school by them! How reluctantly we parted with our seniors, they, Who, upon linishing their work, threw the torch of loyalty, progressiveness, and ambition to us, who followed in their footsteps, striving to hold it high! Of such were the students of P. H. S. I softly, lingeringly closed the year book and gazed into the glowing embers of the dying fire. The dull ticking of the clock called me back to the days of the present. My memories grew dim, and faded into nothing- ness. Again I must take up the task of life, made happier for the mem- ories that recalled the scenes of yesterday. Evelyn Howes, '28. Page Eigl fl 0 Q.

At first it seemed as though this or- ganization Was going to have a short existence, but when each individual student saw the real purpose, and the determination of its followers to make it a success, he gave his hearty co-operation, and thus our school has come into the front rank in student government. The Student Council is composed of three departments: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive department consists of a president elected by popular vote of the entire student body. The president must be a member of the class that will graduate in the year for which he is elect- ed to serve. The legislative department consists of the president of the student body, the four class presidents, four seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and one freshman. The members thus elected, with the ex- officio members, form the Student Council of P. H. S. The judicial de- partment is composed of a judiciary of five members, a chairman, and four associates. This division takes care of all misdemeanors pertaining to school affairs. The Council is also divided into three committees: the monitor, im- provement, and regulations committees. The monitor committee has taken over the responsibility of maintaining order in the assemblies and halls. These committees have been a great benefit to our school. Some of the great achievements credited to this organization are first of all its continual endeavors to establish a cafeteria, despite its meager means. The Student Council, with the co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce, put over big the Vic Aldridge banquet. The returns of this affair went to the athletic fund.

At first this club had the largest enrollment of any high school, but those girls who were not interested in its undertakings were eliminated until at present there are about one hundred and three members. Any girl in high school is eligible to become a member, provid- ing she will promise to live up to its rules and regulations and to do all in her power to make it bigger and better. The purpose of this club is to promote and develop the mind, body, and spirit of each Girl Reserve. To fit in with the purpose, a very ap- propriate name was chosen, which is The Blue Triangle Club. The meetings, which are held every other Thursday night, are in no wise inadequate. A definite program, in which each month plays its part, is planned and carefully worked out for each year. A Girl Reserve roundup was scheduled for September, and what a glorious get-together that was. A Big Sister party, and a Dad's banquet have already been given, and a very interesting and entertaining Easter program will be held. An election of ofiicers, president, vice-president, secretary, and treas- urer, will take place some time in March. To assist the leaders and spon- sors, who are always ready and willing to offer suggestions for the welfare of the club, a cabinet is appointed, consisting of six committees. These are: the program, service, social, finance, publicity, and historical commit- tees. This organization always responds whenever possible, if called upon to contribute its services. One of the most outstanding of its activities so far this year was the tag day which the girls held for the Salvation Army. With a never-shirking attitude toward all things, dependable officers and sponsors, and an excellent program, its members have made this club one of the most necessary organizations of P. H. S.

What a splendid group of followers the members have been for athletics of every kind in P. H. S. Always boosting, full of pep, in an effort to show the world that we can win, if spirit has any power. We sincerely hope that when we come back some time to visit Peru High School, old, decrepit, perhaps gray-haired, that the Loyal Rooters will still be yelling for the team, selling for the team, boosting just the same. And talk about parties-say, the girls couldn't be surpassed, Cbecause the beans weren't always burntlj Ask any of the fellows, and we're sure they will tell you the same thing. Remember that county tournament when Peru was playing Amboy, and Sid was going to make a basket-and some L. R. girl rushed right in front of you over to the man in the corner who wanted to purchase an Eskimo Pie? How you felt, mad and all hot inside and kept muttering, All that trouble for a nickel!', Donlt worry, all of those nickles put to- gether enabled this peppy crowd of girls to contribute one hundred and twenty-five dollars towards the athletic field. They also bought fifteen blankets for the football boys and eleven sweaters for the Girls' Basket Ball Team. Isn't that a splendid record? Peru High School is certainly grateful to you, Loyal Rooters, for your constant efforts and everlasting pep to achieve the athletic spirit. By their continued endeavors at the games to feed the hungry rooters, they have been able to undertake these and many other commendable enterprises. The girls have also developed along the line of real yelling. What team couldn't win with this crowd of girls giving good snappy yells, forever encouraging our boys on and on to victory? We ask you!

Irene Foote Club work, which is an organized system of teaching combined with social functions, organizes people into groups with a purpose of definite work under projects which are carefully planned and with adequate lead- ership. ' With this in mind the 4-H Club was re-organized at the beginning of this year. Many interested girls of P. H. S. immediately became enthusias- tic and joined the ranks of the club. The intense interest of the girls has never declined, but instead it has increased, until at present there are about sixty members. Its motto, To make the best betterjl and its 4-H emblem, representing the head, hand, heart, and health, signify the lines of effort for better in- dustrial, social, and recreational opportunities, which occur in every day life. The colors of this club are green and white. Anyone who has taken or is taking home economics in high school is eligible. The organization is affiliated with the state 4-H Club, and this is a part of the national. or- ganization. On the iirst Tuesday of every month a meeting is held which consists entirely of business and study. On the third Tuesday a social meeting is held, and it is here that some real good eats may be obtained. The entire program of games, stunts, and eats is planned by the girls, and in this way the social side of their lives is developed. The club is divided into four different sections, namely, four years' study of clothing, two years of baking, two years of health, and two years of canning. The entrant may choose one or more phases of work in which she is most interested, according to her ability and standing in school. The division in which she is placed depends upon her choice.

S., is called Legio Decimaf' This name was selected because of the Tenth Legion's being- the most faithful and the most skillful of Caesar's legions. The club was organized in nineteen hundred and twenty- two and has steadily increased in size so that now it has about ninety members. One purpose of the organization is to promote better acquaint- ance among the members of the Latin department, and the other is to learn interesting phases of Roman life, in addition to class room instruction. The officers consist of a president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. They are elected at the first meeting in the fall and serve the entire year. A program committee plans the programs, and a social com- mittee manages games and refreshments. At the meetings, which are held on the second Tuesday of every month, some very interesting programs have been given. They consist mainly of Latin songs, reports, stereopticon pictures, and last but not least, games with a Latin flavor, and eats with American flavor. The motto, which is very appropriate for this body, is Semper Para- tus , which means always ready whether it is work or play, Anyone is eligible to this club who has taken or is taking Latin. The Latin teachers are also always ready with suggestions for the welfare of the club. Many very interesting projects are undertaken by the Latin Club, and have always proved successful. With many very entertaining schedules of work for each forthcoming year, the Latin Club has drawn within its reach many enthusiastic members, and thus it has become one of the very necessary departmental clubs of P. H. S.

A committee was appointed, and after some discrimination concerning the names, one of the cleverest and most appropriate names of any club in P. H. S. was chosen. The t'Chow and Chatter Club was organized for the purpose of discussing current problems of our every day life and for stimulating definite thinking along these lines. The necessary requirements for eligibility to this club are that the entrant must be a participant in the history classes of P. H. S., and that he must have a final grade of A or at least B during his junior his- tory work. This club started out with a bang by having a chicken supper at their first meeting. Many interested students wended their way to the meeting and became members of one of our very promising honorary clubs. lt has an enrollment of about fifty members at present, and there is no doubt that it will be successful if' it has the cooperation of its members, even though the road always seems dark to a newly organized club. At their meetings, which are held on Monday night of every third week, very interesting programs are given. Previous to the meeting usually a very delicious supper is served, followed by the program, which is always care- fully planned and worked out with great effort on the part oi' the spon- sors and participants. At the first meeting very efficient members were elected for one year to serve as officers of this club. With the aid of these dependable officers, the careful direction of the sponsors, and the cooperation of its members, what club could not make a success? As yet, no definite program has been worked out, but it is an assured fact that the club will furnish capable entrants for the State Discussion League, Vnflw Iffgflrly-sin' Vw- S l .5 f'Z2.lli5I2 I' 1 f 1' ' 'X A -ELL -af T' 71, f .

The popularity of girls' athletics has had a rapid growth within the last few years, and so the necessity of this club was plainly visible. Through the co-operation of Miss Troutman and the girls interested in its organization, such a club was organized in the first semester of this school year. The purpose of the Girls' P Club is the betterment of girls' athletics of P. H. S., the promotion of better health, and the support of boys' ath- letics at all times, as Well as girls'. Girls eligible to belong to the P Club of P. H. S. are those who have received letters for athletics only, in the high school. This rule excludes girls with letters denoting scholarship, oratory, and other things pertain- ing to subjects of this nature. The same rules that apply for athletics apply to the eligibility of any member. The club advisor is the coach of the girls' athletics. There are four oflicers elected by popular voteg namely president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. As yet no definite program has been Worked out, but it is quite evident that as soon as the club is Well organized, a very excellent plan of Work will be decided upon for the remainder of the year.

It has initiated several new members this year, and thus increased in membership. The idea of this club is to maintain the highest standard possible in P. H. S. athletics and to discourage and prohibit anything that might incur censure on the Old Gold and Black. The underlying purpose of this organization is to pro- mote friendship and good-will among the P Club members. The only requirement for membership is that the entrant must have earned a P according to the standards of the Indiana High School Ath- letic Association. To make the club conform to the rule of social ideas, a small initiatory ceremony is performed upon the respective candidates. Their social func- tions are not lacking in any respect, and they usually sponsor an elaborate dance given sometime during the year. This is eagerly looked forward to by all as a great social event. Each student, entered in athletics, looks forward to the time when he can become a member of this honorary club, which is held in high esteem by each and every student in P. H. S. It is a goal which every boy in ath- letics sets for himself to achieve. This club has a sense of good sportsmanship, and its members try to instill this feeling in those around them. Everyone can be a good winner, but when it comes to showing good spirit in defeat, we are liable to be la-cking. What club could have a greater aim than this? It is no wonder that it is regarded with great respect and honor.

A. and was organized on October sixteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty-three. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character. It is truly evident that this purpose has been carried out by noting the many benelicial changes which it has wrought. The platform of this club is to maintain clean speech, clean scholar- ship, clean sports, and clean living in the individual life of each boy as Well as those around him. Contagious Christian Character is the dynamic force of this organization. This club has thirty-one members, showing a remarkable growth over last year. Some of the iinest type of boys are enrolled as members, and are among the leaders of P. H. S. Ten members of the Hi-Y are on the football squad, live on the basketball squad, three on the Judiciary, five on the Student Council, and ten in the HP Club. The Peru Hi-Y was Well represented at the Older Boys' Conference by eiiicient representatives. It has done many things about P. H. S. which are little noticed but which are very praise-worthy. The check room, which was maintained for the convenience of patrons at the basketball games, was one of the most successful and outstanding works of this organization. The club also donated this check room at the sectional tournament. Thrift Week was made a decided success only by the hearty co-operation of the Hi-Y club, for its members helped to carry out the thrift program. The club has enjoyed many social activities such as banquets, pot luck suppers and theater parties.

Minh The success of such an organization depends to a great extent upon the talent and faithfulness of its',members. It is an assured fact that these two qualities have been dominant in the members of this year's band, for the band of twenty-six is up to the standard in every way. The organization meets on every Tuesday and Friday and is composed of the following musicians: E flat clarinet-Elbert Reuter. B flat clarinet-Lawrence Johnson, George Challis, Robert Chaplin, Paul Iliff. E flat saxaphone-Gaylord Schmidt, Leonard Reuter, Leonard Gross, Russel Compton, Allen Porter.

Page Ninety-th ,I i ef Ilbrrhvatra Every high school, to be complete, must possess an orchestra, and in this important feature the Old Gold and Black is not lacking in the least respect. We are all justly proud of this body of musicians, an organiza- tion which has undoubtedly reached the ranks of the foremost organiza- tions in the annals of P. H. S. The orchestra has its regular work out on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of every week. Like all the other musical organizations, it is under the supervision of Mr. Glover. Classical music only, is studied by the members. Each individual member is not only expected but forced to do his part to the best of his ability. The orchestra has appeared on many programs throughout the school year, and it is evident to all that to some extent the success of this year's operetta was due to the faithful and good work of the orchestra. This group is made up of the following musicians: Violin- Lorraine Moore Lois Buskirk Kermit Chriswell Dorothy Snyder Joseph Smith Evelyn Behney Piano- Louise Johnston Elizabeth Wagner Cello- Thais Hebbe Drums- Joseph Prior Dick Landgrave Page Nivifcfy-four Tl 9 :'f-hi ' it xxx 'TIES- . . -I' 2 4515- ' YV Clarinet- Paul Iliff Lawrence Johnston Flute- George Brown lst Cornet- Herbert Johnston 2d Cornet- Frederick Allman Trombone- Dearl Schoolman Lewis Scherbondy Alto- Albert Freeland Silas Crawford Bupa' C5122 Glluh A The 1-Boys' Glee Club was organized during the last semester of nineteen hundred and twenty-iive. It has already climbed the ladder of success and promises to be one of the most interesting and outstanding clubs of P. H. S. Since there is a high standard which each boy must at- tain before he may join, in this Way the club claims the best voices of the boys of P. H. S. There are about eighteen members, who demonstrate their ability ev- ery Monday and Wednesday night when the club gathers for practice. The Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs co-operate Whenever possible, this being done in the operetta. The organization is supervised by Mr. Glover, and his unfailing ef- forts to make this club successful are shown in the very remarkable results. Page Ninety-I First Soprano- T' V Cbirln' QEIP1' Qlluh y The Girls' Glee Club isamong the newly organized clubs of P. H. S. but is a very promising one.oIts membership has increased greatly since last year. At present there are about thirty-seven members, among whom are the most beautiful songsters of P. H. S. Among the many accomplish- ments of this organization are its splendid work in the operetta and a concert which will be given at the close of school, probably in the latter part of May. The girls will be assisted by the Boys' Glee Club, which is also up to the minute along vocal lines. The songsters of this club are divided into three classes according to the tone of their voices.

The story of the operetta centers around the love affair of an English lord's daughter and a gypsy song writer. Miss Josephine Vignary, as the heroine, Lady Constance, tall, blond, and composed, was typically English. Herbert Johnston, as Rob, the Gypsy Rover, has a diflicult time climbing in and out of Windows and dodging Lady Constance's father, but in the end everyone is happy, for Rob, after he has won fame, turns out to be the long lost son of an English nobleman. The presentation was a colorful one with picturesque scenes laid in the gypsy camp and some exciting incidents occurring at the home of Sir George. The effective costumes were designed by Miss Bertha Tereba. The Misses Helen Fribley, Mercedes Hurst, and Dorothy Troutman of the high school faculty assisted in directing the production.

' ' ' 'W' SENIOR PARTY AND DANCE Crash I Bang I Oh, don't get excited, it is only the orchestra start- ing the first dance in the high school gymnasium on January 13, 1925. What dance? My goodness, don't you know that was the night of the big senior party? You should recall that evening above all. The cream and crimson decorations were beautiful, and the serpentine made the gym more attractive than ever before. Johnston's orchestra furnished the program of dances, and the Charleston experts of the senior class afforded amuse- ment for the evening. With a view to furnish other entertainment, card tables were arranged for bunco. The features of the senior party consisted of a violin solo by Charles Buck-ley, a piano solo by Ray Pugsley, and a novelty song by Jim Cain and Herbert Johnston. Late in the evening refreshments of ice cream and cakes were served. Mr. Hathaway, Miss Fribley, Mrs. Haag, and Mrs. B. F. Eikenberry were special guests at the party. 1 JUNIOR CLASS PARTY, The gym was a scene of a very gay affair Thursday evening, January fourteenth, when the Junior Class held their first class party of the year. In the early part of the evening, tables were arranged for bunco, which everyone enjoyed. At eight-thirty refreshments, consisting of Eskimo pies, hot chocolate, banana salad, and sandwiches, were served by Alice Gretz- inger, Edna Johnson, and Mildred Reckner, and at nine o'clock Johnston's orchestra began to play the program of dances. The Charleston was the main feature of the evening, in which everyone participated. The committees in charge of the affair were: Mead Russell, Jean Fox, and Bob Smith, entertainment committee: Alice Gretzinger, Edna Johnson, and Mildred Rechner, refreshment committee, Jerry Mulcahy, decoration committee. Page Ninety-ni , f SOPHOMORE PARTY On December eighteenth the class of '28 gathered together in the P. H. S. auditorium for one of the most successful parties of the year. Coach Redmon was in charge of the games, in which everyone took part. Santa Claus arrived upon the scene in time to deliver the toys to each soph and teacher, and all enjoyed themselves like children. Santa was none other than Leonard Gross. At 9:30 all lined up for the good eats, which soon followed. Later in the evening dancing was enjoyed with the aid of a peppy orchestra, and at 10:30 o'clock the party was dismissed. The chaperones for the party were the class sponsors, Miss Hath- away and Miss Leland, and also Mr. and Mrs. Binford. F RESHMEN PARTY The freshmen made their debut into high school society on the ev- ening of November twenty-fifth. The gym was gayly decorated in the class colors of purple and White. Games were enjoyed during the first of the evening under the supervision of Mr. Redmon, and much fun was de- rived from the use of serpentine. Later, refreshments were served to about one hundred and fifteen freshmen. The latter part of the evening Was spent in dancing, Johnston's or- chestra furnishing the music. All the little freshies said they had a grand time, and all wondered when they were to have their next party. The chaperones for the occasion were Miss Humphreys, Miss Wagner, sponsors of the class, and Mrs. B. F. Eikenberry, Mrs. L. O. Arnold, and Mrs. Frank Weeks. DAUGHT ERS DINE DADS Fathers Were feted January 26 at a Daughters and Dads banquet given by the Blue Triangle chapter of the Girl Reserves in the dining rooms of the Methodist Church. Everissa Waite charmingly presided dur- ing the after dinner session, introducing Mr. John W. Bossard, who toasted Our Daughters . Jean Carlson, president of the organization, gave the address of welcome. Josephine Vignary and Georgia Martin, accompanied at the piano by Wilma Byers, sang a very pretty selection. Mr. Harry Fox responded to a toast, Appreciation of Our Daughters. During the evening, the Girl Reserves and their guests attended the meeting held in the auditorium of the Methodist Church and heard the lecture given by Charles Brandon Booth. Pfufc Onc Himrlred Y DISCUSSION CLUB STAGES BANQUET The high school Discussion Club, composed of seniors who have a ranking of A or B in history, was entertained at a banquet, December eighteenth, in the dining room of the First Baptist Church. Dinner was served to about thirty people at half-past six by members of the B. Y. P. U. Dr. S. D. Huff and Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Kling were special guests at the affair. Following the dinner, Mr. Kling, the main speaker of the evening, discussed Why History Is Interesting and gave a brief account of the lives and works of famous historians. Present at the banquet were: Dr. Huff, Mr. and Mrs. Kling, Miss Helen Fribley and Miss Zora Hathaway, sponsors of the club, Eleanor Duge, Everissa Waite, John Rannells, Carl Wagoner, Margaret Smith, Marie Rupp, Lawrence Johnston, Joe Coppock, Ottice Riggle, Louise Johnston, Amy Souder, Kathryn Denk, Mary Sullivan, Russell Haag, Dorothy Lee Haas, Charles Buckley, David Conyers, Robert Larimer, Eunice Vermillion, Samuel Shapiro, Jean Carlson, Robert Kramer, Amy Chalkey, and Oden Rickard. NIGHT SCHCOL The parents and friends of the high school students were entertained in a very novel manner on Tuesday evening, November eighteenth. School was dismissed in the afternoon, and the regular afternoon program was held at night. This was done so that business men and other persons un- able to attend the day session might hear their brilliant children recite. Recitations were carried on in the regular way, only, of course, work was well prepared. Many amusing incidents occurred in the class rooms when the fond parent attempted to pick out his little boy or girl, much to the embarrassment of thepupil. NARCISSUS PROGRAM On November twentieth an auditorium was held to arouse enthusiasm for the Annual drive. A short talk was given by Wilson Eikenberry, business manager, which resulted in every student's pledging his support to the Narcissus Later a program was presented by the Annual staff. A large narcissus bulb was placed on the stage, and while Dorothy Lee Haas, editor-in-chief, gave a prologue and an outline of the book, the bulb grew until it was a large, beautiful Hower. Each petal of the flower represented a different section of the book. First came the school board represented, by Jean Redmon, dressed as her father. Miss Bappert and Miss Wilson of the faculty were represented by John Morse and Elbert Reuter. Homer Ash represented the little green freshies and crossed the platform riding in a little wagon. Mac Senger, loaded. with books, represented the studious sophomores, Mary Jean Packard and John Charters represented the junior cases, and Noy- elles Burkhart, the dignified seniors. Dramatics were represented by Miriam Bossard as Lady Macbeth and Walter Phillips as Macbeth. Cle- Page One Hundred One g, ment Newman played a selection on a horn and said he was to represent music. Athletics were represented by Ruth Knott and Jack Erlenbaugh, who played a game of basketball on the stage. Society was represented by Amy Souder, who walked across the platform in an evening gown and told of the many social affairs she had attended recently. Florence An- drews and Evelyn Warder rushed out on the stage and told everyone to hold very still and look for the birdie while they took a picture of the audience. As the closing number on the program, Paul Melson and Melvin Briggs, dressed as bums gave a humorous act to represent the Jokes department of the Annual. Everyone was very much pleased with the program and thought it a very clever affair. RODEO RECOLLECTIONS Remember our Rodeo of March twenty-sixth, the annual fun-festival? The first part of the program was held in the gym with the presenta- tion of The Shriek of Araby by the pretty, petite, peppy cast of dainty high school boys. Jim Cain, as the Shriek was very striking in his portrayal of the passionate harem-huggerf' The supporting cast was very comical, including the chorus girls, solo-dancers, and members of the harem. Scattered over the entire building were the side-shows which claimed huge audiences at every change of program. They were Girl Reserve Revue, Oriental Paradise, Cave of Horrors, Fanatical Freaks, and others. At ten o'clock the audience assembled again, where they were enter- tained by The Charleston Shuffle, Madame Human Shank, and some very clever circus acts. Crowning the Rodeo Queen, Evelyn Warder, fur- nished the last flourishing touch to an evening of enjoyment and entertain- ment. -- SENIOR PLAY The Charm School was the title of the play given April twenty-first by the members of the Senior Class. Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton wrote the play, which is presented in three acts. From the moment the curtain was raised until the last encore was answered by the stars, the cleverness and real charm was very noticeable throughout the entire production. Following is the cast: ' Austin Bevans, an automobile salesman..Noyelles Burkhart David MacKenzie, a law student .......... Lawrence Johnston George Boyd, an expert accountant ..........

The teams of preceding years showed their spirit in true Tiger fashion, and hence the schedule for 1925 in- cluded some of the best teams of the state and also the unbeaten team of Montpelier High of Ohio. ' Coach Redmon announced a lengthy list of letter men for 1925. Those eligible for a letter must have fulfilled the following requirements: 1. Play in sixteen quarters of the varsity games, and Q25 to finish the season unless unable to do so on account of injuries. The following are the P winners for 1925: Riggle, Ottice ......,...

Sharp made the first score to be tied by a Plymouth rally, but Captain Church sneaked through center in the latter part of the game to make the final score 13-6. September 26 Lafayette ran amuck when they faced the rough and ready Tigers, It was a hard fought game but the Tiger war-horse, Dick Antrim, snag- ged a pass and raced forty yards for a touchdown. Lafayette gave her best, but the Peru line held to the end of the game with a score of 7-0. October 3. The third game was the charm that turned victory to defeat when the South Side, Fort Wayne High, invaded our camp. South Side came three teams strong, but Peru held them to the score of 13-6. The disaster came shortly after the Tigers had scored when Richendollar, South Side player, intercepted a long pass and raced to the goal line. This occurred again when South Side fumbled a punt, Staten intercepted Welke's pass and again scored, which lost the game for Peru. October 16. The Kokomo VVildcats and the Peru Tigers clashed for a final score of 12-O. Kokomo excelled in punts during the first half of the game and following their advantage, scored two touchdowns. But in the last half, The Old Gold and Black came into her own, and even though no scores were made, the Wildcat found what it was to meet a stone wall in a football game-the Tiger line. October 21. , The Tigers crushed Huntington with a score of 21-0. Antrim scored first after a steady march of the Peru team, and Earlenbaugh scored second by several classy runs. Cain started the last quarter by a 12 yard gain-Earlenbaugh made 16 when Cain broke through guard for the third touchdown. During the last few minutes of the game, Redmon sent in the entire second team, and Huntington then gained thirty yards before the game was ended. 4 November 7. Peru met Wabash for a 6-0 score. The teams were of almost even strength, and neither scored in the first quarter, but in the next period, Ross, Wabash star, slipped around end for a touchdown that won the game. Peru, however, out-played their adversaries in the last half, espec- ially ni the third quarter by making twice as many first and tens as Wabas . Page Om: Humlrred Eight November 14 Peru held Sheridan for the first quarter to a 0-0 score, but later in the game Sheridan went wild and ran up a score of 27 points. Peru gained often, but it seemed their unlucky day-they would lose the ball, and Sheridan, by passes, end runs and excellent punts, would come back to score till the gun cracked with a score of 27-0. November 21. Peru trounced Logansport for the third consecutive time in the last four years-the teams not meeting last year. Logansport put forth their best, but the Tigers marched on to a 14-0 victory and excelled Logan in punting by an average of 6 feet. Peru gained 180 yards to Logansports 135, but the penalties amounted to 60 yards for Peru to 15 for Logan. November 26. The Peru Tigers visited Montpelier on Thanksgiving Day and suf- fered a 27-0 defeat to close their season. Montpelier excelled in fake for- mations and trick plays, which made their season exceptionally successful. Their total points were 185 to their opponents 13, and they were defeated only once-then by a small score. Although the field was muddy, Peru completed one long pass. This was to no avail, and Montpelier made few attempts and these failed. If the men who try for the team in either football, basketball or track came out only for a little honor and a sweater, the team on which they play would be a failure. Not to gain personal glory, the Peru men came out, but to win honor for their school. The survival of the fittest' is the slogan of the Circus City teams. This is the reason that the Peru teams have so many victories. The school, of course, is indebted to these men for the time and labor that they spend in practice, so, as customary in recent years, the Peru High School has given the letter men who graduate sweaters to show their appreciation for the time and labor which they have given to make this excellent record. The sweaters are of the best quality and have stripes for each year the player has played on the team. Those receiving sweaters are: Ottice Riggle, three stripes, James Cain, one stripe, Paul Welke, one stripe, Jerry Mulcahy, three stripes, Wilson Eikenberry, one stripe, Richard Antrim, three stripes, Edwin Troyer, two stripes, David Conyers, one stripe, Clyde Carver, three stripes, Allen Foshee, one stripe, Harold Baker, three stripes, James Hull, three stripes, Captain Church, four stripes. Those receiving sweaters for basketball are: Paul Melson, Ottice Rig- gle, three, Melvin Briggs, one, Paul Welke, two, Jerry Mulcahy, two.

The Tigerettes Went through this year by leaps and bounds, taking nearly everything in sight. They defeated all the rival county teams such as Chili and Mexico, also Rochester. We'r'e proud of what they did to the champion teams, Lincoln and Auburn. Auburn may have carried off the honors on her own floor, but our Tigerettes had a big comeback and made up for that defeat. They were not to be daunted by Lincoln's famous sextette either, but Walked over them in a fast and furious game on the home floor. One team We should, like to see our girls play again is Technical High, Who defeated them in an exhibition game, but We don,t think they could do it again. This and the game at Auburn were the Tigerettes only defeats in two years.

Our recent interest in track meets is due largely to our excellent track, which brought the first three meets to Peru and also the Wabash valley meet. At the first meet, Peru won by the tremendous score of 6952, to 29M from Sharpsville. This was an excellent start, but in the second meet the score was 33VZ for Peru to 655 for Rochester. Peru regained her place in the third meet, a triangular meet, when she made the Peru score 53, South Side, Ft. Wayne 26, and Wabash 20. The Tiger track team next went to the Kokomo relays at Kokomo. Technical High of Indianapolis won the meet by a score of 25 points. Ko- komo won second, 23, Manual High of Indianapolis, 12 3-5, Rochester, 11 4-5, Wabash' 8, Frankfort 7, Peru 5 4-5, Elwood 5, and Logansport, 4-51. Then came the Wabash Valley meet at Peru. The scores of this meet were: Kokomo 37 2-7 , Rochester 36, Wabash 11 3-7, Peru 8 2-7, and Lo- gansport 6 2-7. In the sectional meet at Logansport, however, the Circus City Team showed their real ability by taking second place-missing a tied score of the winner CMonticelloJ by lk point. The iinal results were: Monticello 24, Peru 231,45 Logansport 19, Delphi 6, and Montmorenci 4. Peru sent six men to the state meet at the Technical High iield at In- dianapolis. They were: Sharp, 100 and 220 yard dash and the mile relay, Erlenbaugh, high jump and the mile relay, Briggs, broad jump, Buskirk, high hurdles, Wright and Baker, mile relay. I ll?

Now that makes 300 feet or 100 yards of Virgil for Eikey to translate daily.
