Whisperings of those traditions still hover in the air-in the twilight, when the moon casts its weird gleam on the river, throwing into dark and majestic relief the trees. It is then you can hear the lndian call, it is then you can see the dancing of his dis- tant camp-fireg it is then the faint music of his war-dance Hoats over the water to you. The Miami Indians, one of the bravest of red-man tribes, lived and fought their battles where the Mississin- ewa and the Wabash rivers unite, and where the city of Peru has arisen. Frances Slocum, Xxfhite Rose of the Miamiis, abducted, and adopted into the lndian tribe, played on the banks of the river. Her body lies buried not far from the city, and a tombstone is the monument to her sacrifice. For she refused to return with her people when they found her years later-she had learned to love her Indians, to cherish their ideals, to speak their language. Peru is undeniably lndian-her name, the names of her rivers, her traditions, her history, her soil. Wishing to revive in the minds of the students the age-old tradi- tions, the annual board has selected the lndian theme for this year-book. As you look the pages o'er, you will find yourself dancing along the Frances Slocum trail, into a by-gone age where the lndian paddled his canoe softly down the river. -EDITORS NOTE. Wi v 2,-J!

Motto- One for all and all for one. Advfisors4Miss Humphreys and Mr. Bittel. LiFY'J Senior Class History. Do you remember way back when the class of '27 was the freshman c'ass of P. H. Sf? Four long years ago and yet such a short time. That class started out as freshmen to do big things. The first year the girls' basket- ball team Was organized, and We contributed five girls to the squad. The boys of the class were equally alert, and several of them made the athletic teams. That same year We also won the thrift cup, proving to people in general that We had good sense and were ready for bigger and better fhings. . ln the sophomore year We showed our difference by electing a girl president. She was a whiz and as a senior is editing the best annual ever known. Our junior year started out to be very promising but in the middle of the year We suffered a loss which hurt a lot. Bob Sullivan was killed in an automobile accident. Bob was a prince of a fellow, and our class has nofquiterecciferedgfromithis ling low. hrthe Tlniorfyearjtooizve had that Wonderful junior-senior prom at the Country Club. Will the class of '26 soon forget that dance? In this, our senior year, We are beginning to attain our goal. We therefore offer our thanks and appreciation to our faculty, our principal, superintendent, and parents in their help in pushing us on toward our millennium. , -Schermerhorn Van Mater '27 , . fi T Page Twenty-four quam PHS '27 C ff 1 gf wx 1 J OSEPH KENNY Joe l'res.

They were only freshmen, self-conscious and frightened, but vvith the determination to Win the respect of the teachers and upper classmen. With their motto as an inspiration they earned a fine reputation for them- selves. As sophomores they made progress by their enthusiastic co-operation with the other classes for the better development of P H. S., and now as juniors they have a proud record to unfurl that all may see. The class of '28 is represented in every branch of school activities- athletics, students council, and social, also on the staffs of the Peruvian and Narcissus. The junior class has produced a prize-Winning essayist, also Writers, orators. artists, and dramatic talent of considerable ability' This body ranks high in scholarship, a number of their names always appearing on the honor roll. And now with but one year left in which to build, it is the ambition of members of this class-not for themselves alone, but for the parents and teachers who have so patiently supported their every effort--to strive step by step to reach their goal-Success. -MARY FRANCES SHOCK '28 fini fa' lr.

In September, 1925, we, the class of '29, boasting of a very large mem- bership, entered Peru High School. Quicklyigrasping the idea of high school spirit, we started the task of making a favorable name for ourselves while in P. H. S., and working for the betterment of our school. Having succeeded very well the first year, we began our sophomore year. We have joined in all school activities, having members of our class represent us in athletics and also the various school organizations. Our high scholarship and citizenship are recognized by the fact that our names appear regularly on the honor roll. There occurred a vacancy in our ranks that cannot be filled. The sud- den death of Edward Scherer after a brief illness came as a sorrowful shock to his friends. His absence is keenly felt by his classmates, as he was always known as a worth while friend. We have two more years to complete our high school record, and we intend to make a sincere effort for the improvement of P' H. S. ANNA ARNOLD 'Z9. , I. fr.. Page Forty-six 'Away' ta' swf? J., -.

S., many prophesied that it would be a very popular class. Freshman is generally understood to mean the first year, but it also shows that they are fresh and wide-awake and ready for anything. In olden days someone called the freshmen green, and the adjective stuck, it seems. The freshmen have come to realize that their pep, en- thusiasm, vigor, and wide-awakeness are what people mean by greenness, and so did not mind the title, but were proud of it. When a new club, a new athletic team or any event was to be started, the freshmen flocked there, and consequently we have been well represent- ed in all school activities. We are hoping to carry on and still have our freshness and enthusi- asm when we are seniors in our dear old P. H. S-, so here's to three more years of achievement. -KATHLEEN BUCKLEY '30 E . xv? 1- 2 'lQ.?3 'i'f m M Page Fifty Leonard Phillabaum, Madalyn Marquis, Dorothy Snowden, Gene Miller, Jeanette Spur- geon, Margaret Ritzman, Anna Margaret Nelp, Helen Poffenbarger, Robert Strong, Viola Wilson, Marjorie Wilson, Raymond McMinn, Ruth Parish, Albert Mowbray, Joseph Rhodes, George Chandler, Francis Butt, Frank Gilbert, Lucille Fooshee, Mildred Gruwell, Paul Freshaur, Richard Chichester, Princess Cogan, Mary Engel, Perry Friend, Helen Adkins, Carrie Kunzi, Paul Iliff, Harry Lunsford, Virginia Petty, Helen Saylor, Wilma Stevens, Elmer York, Hazel Carpenter, Virginia Wooley, Ruth Robert- son, Sylvia Stelts, Mary Sullivan, Rachael Roads, Ruth Rankin, Harry Tompson, Dwight Wareham, Lucile Smith, Graydon Mitchener, Kenneth King, Keith Herd, Herman Hoep- pner, Charles Elvidge, Edith Melson, William Miller, Genevieve Hann, Arthur Adams, Kathleen Kertbrod, Fredrick Church, Arthur Benner, Earl Sullivan, Barbara Graffis, Dorthy Geberin, Lloyd Wood, Francis Edwards, Harry Wooten, Galena Kincaid, James Barth, Kenneth Cunningham, Catherine Curtis, Ernest Brown, Robert Bell, Ruth Brunson.

On an afternoon of a summer's day, On the shore of a lake in the sun, When the sky and the clouds and the rippling sheen Were blending into one- It's then I could lie-I could lie for aye, By the side of the shimmering blue, And watch the slanting rays of the sun, As closer to earth it drew. I could see afar a snowy sail That was caught by the gentle breeze. I could hear the song of a meadow-lark, And the tunes of the birds in the trees. I could dream and dream in that solitude Of a waning summer's day, And lazily lie on the soft brown shore. Watching the fish at play. It's the gentleness and the idleness Of a warm and balmy hour, That creep into my veins and heart, And hold me by their power. It's the quietude and the happiness And the beauty of God's green land That make me want to lie and dream Idle, upon the sand. I have often wondered why there should be Cold and rain and snow. And cloudy days, and winter months With the sun refusing to show- But if every day were a perfect day, With a summer sky and a sun, Then man would dream by the side of the stream, And his work would go undone. fi i 'mughx 2-w,d'l:aQ'f3' I ' T J , Page Fifty-cigfrt f. FHS '27 Q f V 1 1 f wx JUST KIDS. A great event was to take place in the back-yard of the Byron kids. QI call these children kids because they were just kidslj Pollyanna was to be buried! Under a dead apple tree was a stone so large and so heavy that the combined strength of all the six Byron kids could not lift it. Bobby had tunneled under the stone and made, what he called, A swell hole. Here Pollyanna was to be buried. Jim, the oldest and wisest of this brood, was to act as the preacher. He had a dignified air and a voice that could be heard two squares away. For these reasons, and several others, he was elected to the most honorable position. Mary Jane and Betty Lou were to sing, and the twins were to carry the beloved body of Pollyanna. Before these plans could be carried out, a tragedy occurred' Bobby's swell hole had been made too large, and the great stone had collapsed into the place where poor Pollyanna should have been! So the kids set out to find another burial ground. It was then that Reverend Jim had a brilliant idea. We'll bury the deceased by the river, where it's all nice and shady, and she'll never suffer from the heat! The new plan was accepted with a number of joyful yells. Since the kids had often visited me at all periods of the day and sometimes several times a day, I was invited to the funeral of Pollyanna. It was to be private, you understand! Not just anyone could see Pollyanna laid away ! I suppose you will think me foolish to have gone, but I went. It was fortunate that I did-but I am getting ahead of my story. The funeral procession was really very pathetic. Reverend Jim, an old hat perched on his sandy crown, a pair of spectacles on his nose, and a tattered Bible in his hand, marched at the head. Following him were the twins, carrying Pollyanna, black and sleek, upon a stretcher made by Bobby. Next came Mary Jane and Betty Lou with old black veils over their heads, each carrying one of Daddy's handkerchiefs with which to wipe away great tears. At the end came Bobby, with an immense shovel to dig a new grave for Pollyanna. When my cousin and I fwe were to keep an eye on those kids D ar- rived on the scene, the grave had been completed, and the Reverend Jim had started his sermon. We are here, friends, to see our elergent friend, and prize rat catch- er-. Don't say that about poor, dear Pollyanna! Screamed Mary Jane. No, it ain't nice, put in Betty Lou. Well, it's true, retorted the preacher. Have you forgotten the time when she had a fight with a big rat and almost got licked and we had to have the horse doctor, and we-. Stop, Oh, stop, or I shall faint! cried Mary Jane. Reverend Jim calmly continued his sermon, We gather here, friends, to see our pet, poor Pollyanna, be laid under sod on the shore of the - here Jim drew a great breath- great and swift moving Wabash River! f'Fine! Yelled Bobby, Ain't he swell-girls ? Be quiet! shouted the minister. b You got swell manners for a preacher, you have, ain't you ? sneered Bo by- Ah, quit sassin' the preacher! You haven't anything to brag about yourself! was the gentle comeback of our dignified Reverend Jim. Come and fight. come and fight! ,ai x.N-:lv --main ll Aliwlffgglxj B t it f i Page Fifty-nine Q PHS '27 f f O S w r 1 r Reverend Jim took off his hat and spectacles, and prepared to fight, but Bobby was too quick for him. With a rush he gave Jim a push, and the dignified preacher, with the long-distance voice, fell backward into the great and swift-moving Wabash River. The river, however, was only a foot deep here. Alice and I pulled the sobbing minister out of the water and took him home, where we consoled him by making him some fudge. The grave dig- ger, the pall bearers, and the mourners had a share of Reverend Jim's candy. But what of Pollyanna? Well the twins, who never did think much of cats,-had politely spilled Pollyanna into the river, and so I presume she is still fioating down the Wabash. TREA TISE ON FOOD. Food, O luscious sustenance, ambrosial nourishment, how happily necessary to human existence, how undeniably delectable to the palate, how pleasingly complimentary to the apparance! Is he not to be pitied, the fastidious individual for whom food holds no attraction, who nibbles grudging certain selected dainties, and who is not tempted by the festive board, overladen with steaming viands? He eats merely as a matter of course, he is never hungry , breakfast, luncheon, and dinner pass by in quick succession, his cheeks are pale, his body thin, his walk slow. Look now at this lover of victuals! Note the rosiness of his complexion, the sparkling of his eyes, the cheerfulness of his smile, the briskness of his walk! Foods are of as many kinds and make up as many different repasts as there are stars in the sky. Remember the long-anticipated, indescrib- able deliciousness of that Christmas feast! What a real thrill you felt when your teeth bit into that steaming, succulent, white slab of turkey! You devoured eagerly the crisp hot dressing! You piled a mountain of mashed potatoes on your plate, covering it with lakes of yellow gravy, in which floated islands of brown turkey bits. Then hot rolls and rocking, red jelly, celery and cranberry sauce! Last but not least, cake with snowy frosting, pudding covered with whipped cream, candied delicacies, date- stuffed and sprinkled with nuts, all the home-made luxuries the ingenious mind of your mother could devise. Look back on that Sunday-school picnic at the city park-the long table crowded with dishes of home-made foods prepared by understanding house-wives, skilled in culinary art. You wandered hopelessly around the table, fork and paper plate in hand, your eyes bulging, your mouth water- ing, undecided whether to take six or eight sandwiches, whether to choose potato salad or potatoes cm gra,tifn,' to have deviled eggs or pickled eggs, to eat some of Mrs. Jones' famous baked beans or try a spoonful of the delectable-looking ones at your elbow, to munch veal loaf or chicken, to take dill pickles or sweet ones. Finally you selected a little of everything and found a seat on a wide, green bench overlooking the river. You ate your heterogeneous mass of food with a vague dissatisfied feeling that there was something especially good you had missed on the table. For dessert you had to sample every cake-a piece of the dark chocolate cake stuffed with pecans, Mrs. Smith's celebrated angel food, the rich banana cake, that three-layer one with the billowy icing, the jelly-cake, stuffed with raisins, and a gingerbread! That family picnic in the woods last year! A snowy-white cloth was spread on the smooth, green grass, and delicious foods came tumbling out jig. Page Sixty quasi i .1 Pi-1s'z7 N of the baskets. You reached first for the olives-oh, most exquisite fruit -and sat munching them contentedly. There are hundreds of meals-steak roasts and Weiner roasts, ban- quets and feasts, Thanksgiving dinners and birthday dinners, bridge lunch- eons and school luncheons, party refreshments and afternoon teas, midnight lunches and one o'clock raids on refrigerators, Grandma's roast pig din- ners and Aunt Mary's pancake feeds, restaurant repasts, country-club feasts, and hotel table d' hotes! Time was when matrons were buxon and children were round, robust, and roly-poly. Now mothers must have that school-girl complexion, must be bobbed-haired and slender with that ''younger-than-her-daughter'' look, and their children must be thin and sylph-like. O Temporal, O mares! And yet, how surprisingly few mothers and daughters as well as fathers and sons are willing to give up beloved, fattening foods for the sake of a few pounds. Occasionally there is one with so exceedingly great an amount of will- power that she is able to exist hungrily for two entire weeks on an orange- ade and soft-boiled egg diet, until a box of chocolates breaks down her re- sistance and gives back the two pounds she had lost in the course of her fortnight's fasting. Follow a group of girls into a soda-fountain after school some day. Grab a chair and squeeve yourself into the noisy crowd around the tables, and listen to their conversation. You will hear something like this: Aren't you going to eat, Fran '? Oh, no. Didn't you know I was dieting? I started yesterday. Don't be foolish. Everybody else is eating. Well, I might get a lemon 'coc'-they're not fattening. Decide then-quickly. Well-gee! That soda looks awful good. Let's see-I'll start dieting tomorrow. Bring me a double-chocolate marshmallow sunday, Ernie. We may live without poetry, music. and art g We may live without conscience, We may live without heart, We may live without friends, We may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. We may live without books-what is knowledge but grieving? We may live without hope-what is hope but deceiving? We may live without love-what is passion but pining? But where is the man who can live without dining? ll KK THE SAD ENDING. Honk! Honk! The old Rolls Nyce coupe drew up before the young lady's home. Sheik repeated his summons on the horn. The front door opened, and a sweet lilting voice floated out, Just a second, Sheik, I gotta powder my nose Sheik lolled back in his place behind the wheel, lit another cigarette and counted the minutes it took Sheba to powder her pert little nose. The door opened again, and Sheba tripped forth in all her glory of fluffy dress, high-heeled pumps, marcelled hair, and lipstick, still powder- ing her nose. She was saying over her shoulder, Alrighty, Mother, I'll be in by 'leven. Don't wait for me though. jg, .-Mag 1 wxwll' t A Page Szxly-one . ,Pi-is '27 . f. , S, , Settling into her seat close to Sheik, Sheba gave out the fact that she thought this party was going to be so dry that it would shame the Sahara. Sheik nonchalantly accepted the statement. Arriving at their destination, Sheik parked the coupe close to several royal looking sedans, and they went into the home of their hostess of the evening. After dancing for a while and partaking of a few refreshments, the modern couple decided that the party was a dull affair and that they would either have to leave or choke. Explaining to their hostess that Sheba had to be home by eleven o'clock, they made a graceful exit, Sheba powdering her nose. Once more in the coupe the question was where to go next. The very thing, the dance at Dew-Drop-Inn! There would be a hotsy-totsy orches- tra and a number of other sheiks and shebas there. They would have to make it snappy because they had to drive about twelve miles, and the dance would end at one. The car rattled merrily over the road, giving a snort every time it hit a Thank-you-marm. Shiek stepped on the gas and got a good forty-five out of the old can. Sheba accidentally got a dab of lipstick on her nose, but the powder puff was near at hand. Driving up to some similar tintypes, the young couple left the old can to groan over its miseries. They were right, there were a lot of shieks and shebas there. Natur- ally every dance was then engaged, and everyone had a hilarious time. It was rather warm, and the sheiks used their handkerchiefs freely, while the girls demanded ice-cream, pop, and other cooling concoctions' It was very late when the dance ended. Sheba glanced at her watch when they entered the car. She sat up with a start. Oh for the crying out loud! she gasped. It's a quarter to two. My folks will have the whole town awake if we don't hurry. Step on it and try to make it home in a jiffyf' Sheik stepped on it and the old can leaped forward and started tear- ing down the road. Nearing the railroad crossing, they heard a warning whistle. Sheik said it was a slow freight and probably would hold them up for five or ten minutes. Sheba retorted, Beat it, kid! I gotta get home. If it is a slow freight, we can make the crossing first. Slow freight! So was Cleopatra! The Flyer connected with the Rolls-Nyce -Sheba was powdering her nose-and sent it for a junk- shop. Later, the engine and wheels and top were picked up, also a powder puff. But VVhat became of the pair I never could learn. I suppose they went to heaven, For they were too green to burn. Agnes Martel' '28 THE HUMBLING OF A BOASTER. A certain young fellow, endowed with his own full share of brag- gadocio, was very recently reduced to the lowest depths 0 f humiliation and embctrvftssmentf The story, as I get it, was just this: Not long ago a happy trio of Peru's dashing young manhood set out to spend a merry week-end in a certain large city not far distant-to our south. The very latest and most fashionable method of transportation, namely that of hocking was used by the lads. Nattily attired in their Sunday best and looking very collegi- .vi Page' Sixly-IWU -'Malkin 2 'wulivfb Q PHS 'Z7 C f V 1 c TN ate indeed, they set forth and. as Dame Fortune would have it, met with most unusual luck in securing rides to the state metropolis. Throughout the entire journey, you must know, a certain one of these three boys, being in a particularly jubilant and self-satisfied mood, had some difficulty in overcoming a certain ego ! Continuously it was- I did this, or, Hey listen to me, or maybe, Now if I were you, and finally, Gosh you guys are lucky to have me with you! You've all heard that type rave, of course. Finally, the condition simmered down to such a situation that the other two poor lads wished and prayed heartily for a brick with which to pacify their frivolous companion. Little did they know how absolutely, completely, and eternally he was to be squelched ere the close of day! Now, a trip of no matter what length is extremely conducive to the average male appetite, and of course, our trio were no exception to the rule. So the trip concluded with three healthy, young, iron-bound, leather- lined digestions simply screaming for immediate entertainment. After much argument, which served only to whet the already outraged appe- tites, the trio decided to let their loud-mouthed friend take them to the biggest, best, and most fashionable cafeteria in all our big, big state! The choice had been made so that the happy one might air his etiquette and also that he might demonstrate, as he said, his great wealth of knowledge in all that was proper and polite. The storm of retribution was now about to descend in all its righteous fury. The cafe was entered by the merry three, the boastful one leading. Assuming his most dignified, sophisticated, and haughty air, he nonchal- antly strolled past the shining cases, choosing either this or that dish which happened to appeal to his highly cultivated taste. The end of the long line of display cases was nearing. Hugely elated with the success of his little comedy-farce, he gave one last curt order to a pretty waitress to lead out to a table for three in a very conspicuous corner of the well-filled dining room. Out they marched, our three gallant heroes, trays piled high with savory dishes and tempting salads. Quite conscious they were, and Well-pleased with the fact that they, the Peruvian Prides, were the center of all attention. Suddenly, as if a thunder-bolt descended from heaven had struck, a most ungodly noise smote the ears of the dining patrons. What had oc- curred? CRASH-BANG-TING-A-LING-LING-RATTLE-RATTLE- BANGO!! A cluttering din of trays and splintering glass-ware and the merry ring of fallen silver, mixed with the exclamations of the waitress, and the giggling of the nearby diners, all-together told the startled and stunned Peruvians that they were undone-their act had been crabbed and most abruptly chopped off. The Windy One had tripped, throwing his tray sky-high in his at- tempt to regain his lofty, unconcerned, and stately pace. Imagine the chilling vacancy and unbearable smallness that took com- plete possession of our hero! His companions-the low dogs--had desert- ed, leaving the poor lad alone in the center of the large floor to cope with the embarrassing and miserable situation as best as he could. After turning every shade of red known to art, he suddenly realized that his only salvation would be to laff it off, so try he did, but strange to say, under the suspense and mental distress of the moment he could only master a urgling coo and a comical grin.-and the more he grinned and capered around, the louder folks laughed at him. Finally the situa- tion became intolerable, so, humbled, shamed, and disgraced, he ducked his head and darted to his table, a sorry and pitiful figure to behold. -ROBERT SMITH '27 , fb hlpwaax E Page Sixty-:href L Page Sixty-four IVMEAK E ,V Sw PHS'Z7gc . Q NEVER PLAY CARDS WITH STRANGERS. I am an author, and being one, I frequently make tours over the United States from coast to coast, picking up here and there bits of material for the subject matter of my writings. I was on one of these trips enroute from San Francisco, traveling in the Overland Limited, when the follow- ing adventure befell me. Several hours out of Chicago I was sitting in the smoker idly gazing out of the window to the ever changing scenes. Presently a business-like looking man, across the aisle, leaned towards me and casually made a re- mark about the wonderful scenery we were passing. Having nothing else to do, I continued the conversation with him. He introduced himself as Mr. Alfred Stevens, a cattle raiser in Mon- tana, and the conversation naturally turned to the ethics of his business as a cattleman. In a short time we were approached by an elderly gentle- man, whom Mr. Stevens introduced as his business partner, Mr. John Har- rison. The conversation continued. Presently Mr. Stevens suggested we have a game of bridge. It seem- ed to me that Mr. Stevens was no more adept at cards than I was, so I was perfectly willing to play, stating that my limit was one cent a point, to which Stevens replied that he would rather play at one-half cent a point. As there were only three of us and we lacked a partner, I arose from my seat to find one. I idled through the adjoining compartment of the coach and saw, seated by a window, a middle-aged man with a grave, stolid face. I went up to him and asked him if he cared to join our party, but he replied, I never play cards with strangers. I was somewhat embarrassed, nevertheless I told him my name and occupation as a writer of novels and short stories. It seemed that he remembered reading a few of my books, for he im- mediately politely apologized and accompanied me to the smoker where we joined Mr. Stevens and Mr. Harrison. As my latest acquaintance had, informed me of his name, which was Mr. Baer, I introduced him to the cattlemen. After a short get-acquainted talk, we chose partners and construct- ed a temporary playing table. For my partner I drew Mr. Baer, and after we had finished playing, three hours later, I realized it was a lucky draw, for we continually won. In the following days on the train we employed most of our time play- ing bridge. On the fourth day, in the afternoon four last day on the trainj we were still playing. Mr. Baer and I continued to be partners. Baer was dealing, and after he had distributed each five cards, he lay the remainder of the cards face downward on the table in an eiort to relight his cigar. 1lVIr. Stevens picked up his cards and after a prolonged glance ex- claimed, By J ove! I wish we were playing poker. He did not look like a card shark to me, especially as we had played four days without an incident, but I had read of professionals and their partners and the tricks they were capable of doing. Still I thought, He is not a crook. Nevertheless I looked at my hand. I whistled softly. My Gosh! I had an ace, king, queen, jack, and the ten of spades. What a poker hand! Mr. Stevens looked around the table. I'll bet five thousand dollars on this hand. He reached into his coat pocket and extracted a wad of bills. Who'll take me up on this? He looked at me. Mr. Baer and Mr. Harrison were silent. jg- , .1 PHS'27 C. 0 I haven't that much money with me, I said, not even five hundred. That's all right. Stevens returned. Write a check for the amount. That's a go, I anxiously replied. But I'll bet you only one thous- and. It was agreed. Mr. Stevens pulled forth the required amount of bills from his roll while I wrote a check for the thousand. We gave the stakes to Mr. Harrison to hold. Lay down the cards one at a time, I said. Down went the first one. And then Mr. Baer spoke up. t'Gentlemen, he said, We've had a splendid party so far. You know what the consequences will be if you carry on this bet. Why not forget it and finish the bridge game? Mr. Stevens seemed to forget his enthusiasm, for he was willing enough to call off the bet. I, too, was satisfied to throw my royal Hush upon the table without the fear of losing money. Stevens took his thousand from Mr. Harrison, and Baer took my check. Holding it up for us to see, he immediately tore it up. I was im- mensely relieved. We completed the game of bridge, and that evening I stepped from the train into the metropolis of San Francisco. Exactly one week after that I received a letter from my bank stating that one thousand dollars had been withdrawn. Alas! Either of the two, Mr. Harrison or Mr. Baer, had palmed my check and torn up a blank one to replace it. Now I never play cards with strangers! LESLIE W. MILLER '27 THE STARS. One of the pleasantest things you can do is to step outside some clear summer evening and look at the stars. Probably most of us have forgotten to do this since we were little children. After you have looked at the stars a few moments, they will bring to your mind that little verse you used to say: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. And perhaps when you were small, you had the inspiration to count the stars, and when you grew up you were an astronomer and counted the the stars, or maybe you followed some other profession and only wondered about the stars. These stars that win our curiosity and inspire us to do great things have another effect on another race of people. Some worship them, others believe they have a direct control over our lives, hence astrol- ogy. Ralph Waldo Emerson believed they are teachers and wrote a poem about them saying: Teach me your mood, O patient stars, Who climb each night the ancient sky, Leaving on space no shade, no scars, No trace of age, no fear to die. Perhaps it is because most of us have so little knowledge of the stars that they have such a varied effect on our natures. -GARL WEBB, 'za fig 'NQM Nlw Page Sixzy-five L W: .. Pi-is '27 . ff 1 SC Wx NIGHT. Night covered the world like a blanket dark, And the earth was shrouded in sleep, Each tiny star sent forth its spark Its nightly watch to keep. The Lady Moon with her smiling eyes, Kept watch o'er the earth folk, too g And the clouds sailed lazily through the skies, There was nothing else to do. The Wind, tired out from his race of the sky, Had settled down to a calm., No more with ladies' hats did he play, But sang only a plaintive song. -FLORENCE BELL, '27. NEXT. Next, the fatal word. Many times does it seem to be one's own funeral march, especially while he is in the dentist's waiting room. If you are the victim, there you sit, three seats from the door of that room. You feel happy, thinking it will be at least twenty minutes before your turn, but to your surprise out comes that fellow in about five minutes. His looks are not at all reassuring, but still you settle down to read the paper in peace, glad that there is at least one more ahead of you. You forget for a while the misery on hand until the girl in the first seat jumps up at the word next That leaves you in the first chair. You try to look at ease as if you did not mind going to the dentist-and besides you have only two teeth to be pulled. Such a trifle! But still you have a weak feeling as you wait for that word, next A groan from the adjoining room does not encourage you a bit. Then as the next rings out, you give a sigh of submission and go to meet your Waterloo. Next does not always signify such a sad occasion. For instance, in a lunch line. You near the cashier's window and hear the word next , and an indescribable feeling of victory over a mob steals over you. Next can often place you in an embarrassing position. You may be quite sure that you know where your friend lives as you walk up the steps of a fine looking mansion, although you didn't think he had quite so nice a home. You ring the bell, and a very prim, stern looking woman comes to the door, raising her brow in inquiry. You ask, with a sickly smile, if your friend lives there, feeling quite certain by now that he does not. When asked what street and number, you tell the inquirer, who says, very freezingly, Next street north. The door slams in an uncompromis- ing way, and you realize once more the harassing possibilities of that little word next JULIAN MITCHENER, '27. ,sf f us e iwfziiwfm Page Sixty-six Q P1-ls '27 Q 01' anizations Web quyluv in .-may i i1l1OQliU' P .

One of the snappiest and cleanest clubs in the school is the Hi-Y. its remarkable growth and progress are due, partially, to the enthusiasm of the sponsors, Mr. Crodian, Mr. Mitchener,1Mr. Erickson, and Mr. Bossard, who comprise the advisory council, and also to the efforts of the officers and members of the club. The members of the frat are inflamed with the outstanding purpose of the organization, which is to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Whenever a movement is on foot to do something for the school, the Hi-Y's are usually backing it. They have the snappiest, most enjoyable, social functions of the school. Meetings are held every Wednesday even- ing, and every other week is supper night. They have bean suppers, which are the delight of every member, and afterward comes a Bible lesson con- ducted by Rev. Huff. Every year there is a Mother-Son Banquet, at which time every fel- low brings his mother and introduces her to the club, then follows a won- derful banquet and games. The semi-yearly initiations always create merriment in the halls of the high school, and the scum parades are hugh successes and screamingly funny. Another feature which is usually observed is a banquet followed by a theatre party, at which the girls are guests of the club. The club is far from dead , and every fellow who gets in wonders why he waited so long. Watch the Hi-Y grow! 5 . fre N p : wav-fb Page Szxly-czglrt . pri-is '27 C GIRL RESER VES.

The Blue Triangle Chapter of the Girl Reserves was organized at the beginning of the school year in nineteen hundred and twenty-four. Be- cause of its large membership, as Well as service, it is perhaps the most outstanding club of P. H. S. The purpose of the club is to promote and develop the mind, body, and spirit of each Girl Reserve. Any girl in high school is eligible to be- come a member providing she will promise to live up to the rules and regu- lations and promote the Welfare of the club. This year the club was divided into six individual interest groups, each group having at its head a member of the adult committee. The leaders of the different groups are: Good Citizeizs-MRS.

Each girl is permitted to choose the group in which she wishes to Work. In January a Dad's Banquet was held at the Presbyterian Church. This meeting consisted of a banquet served at tables beautifully decorat- ed with lighted tapers and flowers, after which there were toasts and a delightful program. On March 11, Grace Leigh Scott came to talk to the Girl Reserves and their mothers at the library. Ever mindful of service, the girls con- ceived the idea of giving Grace Leigh Scott to the student body at a special convocation period. Her message was received with enthusiastic ap- preciation. ,iw- Wuaai' 2 'qjw Page Sixlyenin . Q PHS 'Z7 C ff 1 Sq ix N LA TIN CLUB- Pfresiclc1z.tf4MARY KISER. Vice-Pir'esfifderiz.t-CHARLEs BECK.

It is one of the most active and interesting clubs in our high school. The meetings are held once a month and are always full of special features. Some of the attractive programs given this year were: A dram- atization of a Roman dinner in the auditorium, a play showing the pro- cedure of the meetings of the Senate by the Cicero class, and descriptions and illustrations of Roman weapons. Among the attractions for the public and students of the high school was a picture entitled: Peck's Bad Boy , given in April. The yearly Latin contest did not turn out so well for Peru, although Evelyn Beecher and Verne Holmes took third places in the district contest at Wabash. With those students, and other bright prospects, it is hoped some representatives from Peru will be in the state contest next yearg and there will be, if as much enthusiasm is shown as in this year's contest. The emblem this year of the Latin Club is a pin, the shape of a sword with the word. Latin on it. AQ: j L 9551131 2 't4421Jly.Q'v J Page Seventy , Q P1-is'z7 C X T THE STUDENT COUNCIL.

Until then, no one had seriously realized the tremendous importance of this new spirit, and from that time dated a new era of friendship and comradship among all. In the first year of this era came the organization of the student council to introduce a more democratic spirit into the school and to shift some of the responsibility from the teachers to the scholars. The first year of this new form of government succeeded rapidly and progressed well. Four new members were added in the new semester. one from each class. The student body nominated and elected Bill Church for student president. This year a judiciary was added to the government depart- ment to take care of the misconduct in the hall. Being similar to a jury. it co-operates with the council and so forms an imitation government. The Grst chairman of the judiciary was Ottice Riggle, and he promoted the cause and aroused the interest of his fellow members. The fourth year, 1927, brought two capable boys to the foreground. They have made our school the best ever and have helped other schools to organize their governments. These boys are Bob McKee, president of the student body and Harry Greek, chairman of the judiciary. We hope our govermnent will prosper and grow better every year. fir .-...i-H WZZD P S ee age evenly-one L Q , -. Tl'HS'27 ' , i THE LOYAL ROOTERS. Pfrcsidewtb-FRANCES BOWSER.

Not enough good things can be said about the interested members and the hard-Working sponsors, not enough credit can be given them for their splendid work, never can they be repaid, as a club, for their aid in en- couraging and promoting athletics. Probably the spirit that has inspired high school students this year to a more loyal support of athletics is due in great part to the earnest efforts of the Loyal Rooters. At every football game, at every basketball game, members are busy selling their Wares, candy and eskimo pies. From these and other clever money-making schemes the club derives great profit, which is used for un- sellish purposes. Much-needed blankets were purchased for the football boys, money was given to the athletic fund, and sweaters were purchased for the basket-ball girls. The Loyal Rooters are behind every activity, not only athletics. There are now eighty-ive interested members, eighty-ive of the peppiest and most active girls in high school. Parties of every kind make up their social activities. The sponsors, Miss Wagner, Miss Wood, and Miss Troutman, deserve the great appreciation Which the members of the club and the students of the high school accord them.

The P club is one of the boys' clubs that has done a great good for our Peru High School. It was organized in nineteen hundred and twenty- two with the purpose of maintaining a high standard of athletics in P. H. S. and of discouraging anything that might incur censure on Old Gold and Blackf' also, of promoting friendship and good will among its mem- bers. Any boy who wishes to enter must have earned a letter according to the rules of the Indiana Athletic Association. The sponsors, Mr. Redmon, Mr. Moore, and Mr. Black, have deserved the appreciation accorded them by the club for their help and words of ad- vice which they are always ready to give. They have not been lacking in social activities, for they sponsored a banquet for the basket-ball team, gave another banquet and theatre party in March, and held a P club party in March. Everyone will tell that it is a shame to miss these parties, for everyone always enjoys them thor- oughly. A This club upholds good sportsmanship and tries to instill this feeling into every student of P. H. S. Anyone can be a good winner, but many have still to become good losers. Any club that holds this idea is of great im- portance to our high school. fb, Page Scvenly-four my mam El iq2i3':r? Q PHS '27 Q BOOSTER CLUB. Pfrcsfidcnt-JEAN FOX. V ice-President-ALICE GRETZINGER. Secretary-CHESTER BRAUNELLER. T1'easu1'er-JosEPH SHARP. The ten members of the Booster Club and two sponsors were chosen by a faculty committee at the beginning of this year. The members are Robert McKee, Leroy Brunson, John Charters, Chester Brauneller, Joseph Sharp, Laura Ditzler, Lulu Cripe, Frances Bowser, Alice Gretzinger, and Jean Fox, the sponsors, Dorothy Troutman and John Redmon. It is the purpose of this club to support and stand back of every ac- tivity that is undertaken by our high school, especially to sell tickets for basket-ball and football games, tournaments, track meets, plays, operettas, the rodeo, and concerts that are given for the benefit of the school. Our club was -organized to help anything that will push our school ahead to rank with the larger schools of the state. The members think it is quite an honor to belong to this club, and we hope that future members will work hard to support a bigger and better school for P E R U. Without the splendid and Willing support the members of the Booster Club has given to every activity this year, it is certain the ticket sale cam- paigns Would not have been so surprisingly successful. Much of the boost- ing spirit that has been so noticeable this year was due to the Booster Club, through their earnest efforts. fin' N quasi E q'v2maY Wv VY Page Seventy-five l Page , , w P1-is '27 .

Any girl in high school taking home economics is eligible. The organiza- tion is affiliated With the state 4-H Club and the state association With the national organization. The aim of the club is to promote in the girls a deeper interest in the things that make for ideal home life, and the Peru girls have taken a big step in the accomplishment of their purpose. It goes Without saying that the members of the Peru 4-H are very efficient and are often called upon to help prepare banquets. The club itself held a banquet and lovely program this spring at the First Christian Church on March fifteenth, the members entertaining their mothers and dads. They also have candy and sandwich sales and always serve hot dogs at the basket- ball tournaments. This club, with a membership of sixty or more, is one of the import- ant organzations of P. H. S. Announcements are being made of its ac- tivities, and students are being reminded throughout the school year of the steps the members are taking. Behind every school event are the 4-H girls, ready to boost and back the team and all contests, plays, and publications. It is certain the Peru High School could not easily do With- out the 4-H Club. . fb Seveniy-six Hwbgw' E iqimfw Q PHS '27 Q f S N 1 C GLEE CLUBS.

An indespensable part of the high school organization is the orchestra, and Mr. Glover has succeeded this year in making the orchestra one of the best P. H. S. has ever had. Without it the operetta and entertainments in the gym would not have been such finished productions and would not have called forth so high a degree of favorable comment. Talented people, stud- ents intensely interested in music and their Work, make up the personnel of the orchestra. No organization in the high school has been of more service to the school and has been a more prominent booster of athletics than the band. Ably directed by Mr. Glover, the band worked up a number of snappy tunes with martial rhythm. Members were present at every football game, furnishing pep and enthusiasm, spurring the team on to victory. The stage in the auditorium Was reserved for them during basketball games, and they made the room ring with the strains of their music. Page Seventy-nine L '1 , .m PHS'Z7 THE PERUVIAN STAFF.

On April fourteenth, the senior class gave its long anticipated play, Adam and Eva , the authors of which were Guy Bolton and George Mid- dleton.

On the evening of January eighth the members of the sophomore class gathered in the high school auditorium where they spent a most delight- ful evening. Part of the entertainment for the evening was furnished by a num- ber of talented sophomores, who staged a three-act vaudeville. After this, refreshments were served. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by four members of the high school orchestra. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Youngblood, Miss Hathaway, and Miss Kahre. , FRESHMAN PARTY. The freshmen started their high school career out right by having the first class party which took place in the high school auditorium on Friday evening, October 29, celebrating Hallowe'en. Prizes were awarded to Ethel Steiner and Alice O'Hara for having the prettiest costumes, and Maybelle Nelson and Orpha Snowden for the cleverest. Frank Gilbert also won a prize for having the funniest costume. The entertainment for the evening consisted of a court session and the play of Miles Standish , also there were two contests held. The first was a cracker-eating contest which was won by Albert Mowbray, and the second was a contest of eating two small pumpkin pies. Harlan Burkhart had the honor of winning this. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. The chaperons were Miss Gray, Miss Tereba, and Mr. Crodian. K . 4' Page Eighty-two Q PHS '27 Q f S 1 V C Wd JUNIOR PARTY. One of the most successful of this year's class parties was that given by the junior class, Thursday evening, March 17, in the high school audi- torium. The entertainment for the early part of the evening consisted of a program put on much like a vaudeville, with members of the junior class taking part. Later, tables were arranged for games, and those who did not wish to participate in these spent the remainder of the evening danc- ing. The concluding feature was the grand march, led by Miss Troutman and Mr. Redmon, who were the chaperones. SENIOR PARTY. Oh! did you hear about the senior party December twenty-second? It certainly was fun. Some of the seniors resurrected their baby pictures, with which they amused their classmates. The play, Bluebeard's Wives , was given, with Miriam Bossard and Robert Smith having the leading roles. Dancing was the diversion for the rest of the evening. The music was furnished by an orthophonic Victrola, which was donated for the evening. Later in the evening refreshments were served to about seventy-five members of the class of '27, The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Crodian, Miss Humphreys, and Mr. Bittel. RODEO. March winds and springtime to the sword-hungry bring the Ides with the memories of murder, to youth, misty moonlight and young love accompanied by frat pins, to Martha-spirited house-wives the scene of fresh soap-sudsg and to those fortunates who dwell in the valleys of the Wabash and the Mississinewa visions of Happing white tents and the spirit of Rodeo. Balloons, hamburgers, pop, gold-bricks, the crackling of peanuts, and the weird wailing of cry babies greet the mighty crowds surging their way over the bleachers-ta circus tent by night, a gym by dayl. Sud- denly the noises cease, the stage curtains are drawn, and an hour passes while the audience is thrilled by The Romance of the Forest. Robin Hood and Maid Miriam, Will Scarlett, and the jolly friar, the outlaws of Sherwood Forest? Yes? No, Jane Belding and Howard Grumpp, and their choruses, garbed in hunting suits of Lincoln green, sing to the strains of Eber Moore's violin and the music of his convict band, starred in stripes. The plot unravels, the choruses sing their grand finale, and the ex- citement seekers wend their way into places of amusement along the Boardwalk. From the Girl Reserves vaudeville with its scintillating wit and snappy songs, they push into the Chamber of Horrors. Many enter, but few return, for there, at least only the fittest survive. Those fit who sur- vive emerge weary, worn, and wan, but soon regain their joy o' life when in Tin Can Alley Our Gang spring their comedy upon them, featuring the pranks of Freckles and dusky Farina with her meddlesome, long-tailed monkey. Shades of Goliath? No! 'Tis a twentieth century giant with the strength of three score Hercules. The music? From just beyond the lair 4,- r ul Lindam Page Eighty-three Q PHS '27 Q my V 1 SC of this strong man comes the sound of oriental tom-toms, luring the crowd into a tent, Where under the soft glow of Indian lanterns in an atmosphere laden with incense, peerless Fatima, the daughter of Omar, accompanied by two graceful maidens, dances her dance of the seven veils. And for the cultured-for among the fifty-seven varieties who attend circuses there are always the cultured few-there is the art-gallery, where art connoisseurs may browse among paintings and etchings as expensive as The Blue Boy and as baffling as Mona Lisa , a collection so rare and priceless that it out-values those of the Metropolitan and Louvre. The clang of a bell and again the multitudes pour into the big tent. Into the rings come trained dogs, ponies, and Toto with his clowns-talent contributed by that generous, public-spirited corporation that winters in quarters where the Frances Slocum trail winds along the misty Mississin- awaf' Five circus acts and then Jean Fox is crowned and reigns as Rodeo ueen. And because of the success of this 'Rodeo, March the 25th looms forth in the 1927 calendar in letters of red. P-CLUB PARTY. With a most delightful banquet theatre party the boys' P Club car- ried out its annual affair and produced one of the snappiest entertain- ing events of the season. Girls were guests of the members, as well as several of the faculty. Following a delicious dinner served at the Bearss Hotel, came after-dinner speeches, Joseph Sharp, president of the P Club, acting as toast-master. In response to his call, Mr. Crodian, Mr. Moore, Mr. Black and Mr. Redmon talked. Their speeches were warmly received. Harold Baker, last year's president, also spoke for a short time. At eight o'clock the boys and their guests repaired to the Liberty Theatre. NARCISSUS PROGRAM. Every year, shortly before the launching of the first annual sales campaign, a program or play of some sort is presented in the auditorium in order to boost the sales. This year, many pronounced the little play one of the cleverest ever produced by the annual staff. Seated upon the stage were mother, father, son, daughter. They were turning the pages of an old annual, laughing at the Queer pictures and the odd clothes worn by the stu- dents. As father or mother recognized an old chum and spoke of him, he, alias a member of the cast, crossed the stage in his absurd, old-fashioned garments. Then when the children remarked about the same person as he was today, again appeared a student in modern attire. Almost every department of the annual was thus represented-foot ball, boys' and girls' basket-ball, society, the all-sorts department, the classes, organizations, and the faculty. The purpose of the program was to show the students how greatly they will appreciate their annuals in years to come. The delightful and clever contrast between the old and the new fash- ioned dress and manner made the program especially enjoyable. fb - Page Eighty-four 'twat 2 l 'QWWZILE xv, , Daddy-Long-Le gl K, .,', I -A fl lx- .X- M xx 1 . ,V ..

The '26 football season was a fairly successful one for Peru High School. We Won half of our games and lost half of them. As compared with other years, this is not a bad record. Probably the best game the Tigers played was the one with Mishawaka. We lost this game 33-13, but our boys never gave up fighting. The spirit of both ,teams was re- markable, and each deserves congratulations on the game that was played that day. Football seems to be on the ascendancy in P. H. S. Each g CAPTAIN BAKER year the coach has a little JOHN REDLION Tackle more material with which to Coach Work, and the spirit of the students seems better. This year we had the largest crowds that have ever come out to our football games. The bleach- ers at the side of our new athletic field were filled at every game. Ab- if lr.

The girls did not get the championship this year though they tied the so-call- ed champs, Garrett, and later lost to them by a close score of 21-29. It is our be- lief that this would not have been if Knott and Gretzinger, who were out because of injuries, had been able to play the game. Another of the important games was that with the Auburn girls. They also rate high in the state but not so high that the Tiger- ettes couldn't beat them 1, ,I A , DOROTHY wilt' If-10,Q,lf,,ti1GGI L here by a score of 9-7. 1eRo1lwTmAN CHC l Of the forwards.

Edna Johnson, popular forward on the team, was a dependable type of player, and a valuable member of the squad. Jane Belding also played forward during the last of the season, and proved efficient in that po- sition, although throughout the year she tried center, guard, and forward posi- tions. Irean Riggle was the captain this year and prov- ed to be a very efficient one, besides a valuable asset to the team in the forward po- sition. Lucile Martin and Alice Gretzinger p l a y e d the guard positions, and no JEAN FOX team could boast of better v'o1wu'.1 guards than our Tigerettes had. A great deal of the victories were due to the excellent playing of the guards. l.I'CIl.l-I MARTIN llilard Page One Hundred Five 91 PHs'z7 C SECOND TEAM.

Did you ever have a dream, so vivid and so true, It made you sit right up in bed before you really knew That it was night and you were home and should be fast asleep? Well, I had such a dream last night g it is too good to keep. I dreamt that I was on the field and cheering with the rest. As our boys labored with the foe to see which was the best. I saw John Redmon pacing fast, and watching every play, And Bob McKee, the captain, as he plunged to save the day. Fuqua got the ball at first, then there was an awful spill As he ran to meet the enemy, and one man got his fill. Right there McKee with sparkling eyes was heard by all to say, If you ever saw a iight-born, you should have seen him play. The ball was on the five-yard line and it was our fourth downg Jack got the ball, a point he made, And say! the awful sound, VVhen the leader led the bunch to cheer and yell, and our first score Would make a list'ner wonder if our throats weren't always sore.

Students are expected to prepare at least one recitation a week. 2. When called upon to recite, talk very quietly-the fellow behind you wants to sleep even if you don't. 3. It is not considered good form to call upon the principal more than once a month unless one is strongly advised to do so by a teacher. 4. If a pupil wishes to talk to another, it is advisable to go to that per- son's desk when the period starts and remain until it is over so that the pupil may not be disturbed by the walking back and forth. 5. In throwing paper wads and erasers across the room, don't hit the wrong person. P. H. S. IDEAL SCHOOL OF INDIANA.
