Q n 2 I 2 . i THE NARCISSUS COPYRIGHT Editor-in -Chief Helen Kdgway Business Manager Ross Hzppensteel THE GNARCISSUS 1 9 3 o Published by PERU HIGH SCHOOL Peru, Indiana fw W VW, IA Aff CONTENTS School Features Activities Athletics Foreword ARCISSUS, a character in mythol- ogy, who saw his refiection in a pool, thought it was a beautiful Water spirit. He became so entranced that he would not forsake the lovely sight. When his life had withered away the gods took compassion on him and changed him into a fiower bearing his name. This Hower has ever since flour- ished beside quiet pools, a symbol of beauty and life. It is the purpose of this book to catch the refiections of life as they appear in the mir- ror of the school and register them as pleas- ant memories, in the hope that after our school days are over they will continue to perpetuate in life the ideals and spirit of the school. CDEDICATION to . . . EBER L. MOORE O one Who, during' his eight years as instructor in the industrial depart- ment and coach of our basketball team, has always taken an active part in every school activity, who has guided and encouraged our high school career, who has worked in- cessantly toward the success of our basket- ball team, who has put into the hearts of the students of Peru High School the spirit of fair play and victory for the glory of old Gold and Black, we the members of the class of 1930 do earnestly and respectfully dedicate this Narcissus.

STUDENT COUNCIL President-:RUSSELL ERB Vice-President-ERNEST BROWN Secretary-HELEN RIDGWAY Treasurer-ROBERT MORRIS V Sergeant-at-Arms-THOMAS BRITTON Sponsor-Miss REED The Student Council of Peru High School was organized in1924. It consists of fifteen members: the president of the student body, the presi- dents of the four classes, four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman, elected by their respective classes. The purpose of the council is to create good will, promote good citizen- ship, give students training in student government, and to make Peru High School a better school. Since it is not a social organization it has very few social activities, but it meets weekly to discuss matters pertaining to the school. The council appoints the monitors who serve in the halls during thc periods and during intermission. It supports school projects and each year sponsors one such as: getting new score boards, naming the athletic field. publishing the students' handbook, fixing rest rooms for the tourna- ments and awarding the scholarship cup at the end of each six weeks' period. Although it is a small organization and works quietly, it works to boost the activities in Peru High School. Page Nineteen SECONDARY COUNCIL FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President-Ernest Brown President-Arthur Gothard Vice-President-Ralph Weger Vice-President-Helen Ridgway Secretary-Treasurer-Raymond McMinn Secretary-Treasurer-Helen Ditzler Sponsor-Miss Wood As our school grew, the need for an organization to supplement the Student Council was realized. This need was met in the year 1927 by the organization of what is now known as the Secondary Council. At the beginning of each semester, each Home Room ffirst period classj elects officers. The presidents of all the rooms constitute the Sec- ondary Council and meet once a week to discuss their problems, plan for future service, and to carry back to their home rooms information about school activities. This council has proved to be a great asset to P. H. S. for it is through this organization that the attendance and scholarship contests are carried on. Banners are given as awards for attendance and a silver cup as a re- ward for scholarship. In order to give the students much needed drill in spelling, the council sponsors a spelling match during the second semester. The winner of this contest is awarded a prize. The Secondary Council works hand in hand with the Student Council. In this way the Student Council can more easily present projects to the student body. Page Twenty .- I ga l - f-mi .W a M W!

CLASS HISTORY Each year as the graduating Seniors pass on to new and greater suc- cesses, it has been a custom to pause and review the record that they have established during their four years of participation in Peru High School. Upon recounting our various achievements our eyes naturally turn to the part that the senior class has played in bringing Peru's athletics to the high standard that they now maintain. Even as Freshmen we find several of our class contributing to the success of Peru's athletic teams, and as we have advanced we have taken an even more active part in the development of our school athletics. Many of our class have distinguished themselves through their leader- ship in various activities. It would be impossible to mention all those who have taken prominent offices in the administration of the school, for we find that the Seniors have spread to every department and have assumed the leadership in most of the outstanding organizations. As we turn back to the annual of 1926 We find timid Freshmen peer- ing sheepishly from the page, Freshmen that quailed at a stern glance cast from the corner of the teacher's eye. It seems incredible that in such a short time we have learned to cooperate with that mystic order known as the faculty and assume the responsibilities of Seniors. However, we realize that this advancement has been but an awakening to the develop- ment of our intellectual life, that we are now but at the beginning. In parting, we wish to thank our faculty and principal for guiding us in this most important phase of our education and aiding us in our step toward success. ERNEST BROWN '30.

We've had our jolts and sorrows That we must confess. So aft' We've trod your rooms and halls 'Tis really rather sad , To leave you now forever, Best joys We ever had. But as We enter in the World We'll do our very best And when We Win at last, we'll say, 'Tis due to old P. H. S. Page Thirty-fiv HAROLD PORTER CONNIE HOBBS ELMEDA HARDY AUDREY LONG Pres. Vice.-Pres.

S. the enterprising class of Z-313' With the motto of Loyalty Brings Rewards, they entered into the activities of the school with such unusual zest that their efforts have been crowned with a degree of success, rarely attained by any class. Not only in just a few departments, but in every department of school activities this class has excelled. Scholarship, athletics, extra-curricular activities,- all have been invaded and conquered. Every function of the thirty-oners has been characterized by unfailing loyalty, co-operation, and genuine hard work, which has resulted in well-earned success. During our three year sojourn in our school we honestly think that our members have accomplished many things which will not soon be forgotten. We have always, regardless of conditions, tried simply to do our best. With that thought in mind we are hoping to achieve greater things next year. That ambition will be fulfilled, if we exercise the same spirit then as We have in the past. CONNIE MACK HoBBs '31.

We have studied diligently that We might get something worth While from our high school course. We have students taking part in athletics and prominent parts in other school activities. The sophomore auditorium given by a group of talented students Was a great success. Among our number wehave Harriet Rhodes who Won the State Pag- eant Contest, by presenting the best musical pageantg Frances Patterson Won the County Latin Contest. Since we have two more years We hope to have even greater honors bestowed on our members. A JOSEPHINE MOORE '32.

Classi History After a successful sojourn in Junior High, We made our Way, a group of two hundred, to Peru High School, Where We found a safe entrance, in September, 1929. There were forty-three recruits Who entered in January. The freshman class is very large and has taken part in many activities. For the first time in the history of Peru High School, a freshman home room Won the scholarship cup, With an average of 89.88. This class has also taken an active part in athletics. The C basketball team is made up mostly of Freshmen. There is one on the Varsity, and a few on the football team. In October the Freshmen had their party. It was a masquerade, Where many clever costumes were displayed, and a large number were present. The Freshmen auditorium represented a school, which was very entertain- ing. At basketball games it was usually the Freshmen who sold the candy and brought in the money, since quite a number of Freshmen are L. Rfs. Since landing at P. H. S. the one year has gone by so rapidly that we have decided to stay here for three years more training. We hope, When We take our next journey in 1933, that each member of the class will be able to guide his course all the Way to success.

The circus opens daily' And lasts from eight to fourg The students seem to like it For they're always back for more.

Hostetler was superintendent and Paul Coughlin, principal. The first year there were twelve teachers to direct the intellectual development of one hun- dred and ninety-six students. Through the management and supervision of the school by capable men, added accommodations have been made and the amount of equipment increased to meet the steady growth of enrollment, until the immediate available facilities for teaching have been taxed to the utmost. A dire need is felt for a new gymnasium and added class rooms. The enrollment this year includes seven hundred and twenty-two stu- dents.

We all know her, the kind that hibernates in the winter and then comes out full force in the summer. Jim- my Thomas was a real summer boy, too. He was an athlete at college, and enjoyed his full degree of popularity, but he didn't seem to want to bother himself to show anyone, even himself, a good time, while school was in ses- sion. But when summer came-well, that's one part of this story. Sue had just completed her second year at Vassar when Jimmy took the position as golf professional at the exclusive club to which Sue's father belonged. It was near a little lake far up in the mountains in New Hamp- shire. Nearly a whole month of that summer vacation had slipped by be- fore Jimmy really noticed the sun-tanned girl who was so often on the diving tower at his swimming hour. Pardon me, but would you watch me to see whether or not I straight- en out on this one and a-half? The sound of that soft, low voice startled Jimmy. He wasn't used to having girls that he did not know ask him to review their ability from a diving tower. As a matter of fact he paid very little attention to girls at all. But somehow, this girl's question didn't bother him like some of the similar questions asked by the few other girls he had spoken to on the tower. He turned and looked at the girl. She wasn't very tall, but she had an athletic build. A pure white bathing suit was offset by the rich tan and the wavy, almost curly black hair. He heard himself answering. I'd be glad to watch you. Go ahead, but his gaze had become riveted on her eyes. He thought at first that they were dark blue, but as he con- tinued to look they seemed to be almost black. No, they were purple. Then he thought that he had amused her with his continued gaze, for she smiled, nearly, laughed, as she turned away toward the edge of the platform. She poised there on her toes, and then sprang lightly into the air. She started into the turn well, but as she neared the water her knees bent quite a bit. Still, it was a good dive and he wanted to say so, but instead he said, You bent your knees just before you hit. She nodded and swam back to the ladder with an easy overhand stroke. Diving instruction occupied a greater part of their time during the next few mornings. Then one afternoon he asked her to play a round of golf with him. She accepted the invitation. . A person can do a great deal of thinking and talking in the time spent in playing a round of golf. Jimmy and Sue did these two things. By the time the seventeenth hole had been played it was decided that Jimmy would accompany Sue to the informal dance at the club house the next evening. After that dance Jimmy decided that he was in love. He thought that was it anyhow. He just couldn't get Sue out of his mind. After Jimmy had taken Sue home that night from the dance on the pier, they went out on the lake in the canoe that was in front of the lake house. The moon was full and it reflected effectively on the ripples that the paddle caused in the glass-smooth water. Sue, Sue, Sue l-he could hardly keep up the conversation as he paddled mechanically and watched her face as the moon shone upon it. Gee, she was beautiful! Yes, he was in love. He had never seen a girl that caused such a turmoil in his mind and his heart-or at least they say it is your heart that falls in love. They paddled slowly back to shore and sat on the little bench just at the edge of the lake. Before he knew what he was saying he heard, Sue! I love you! Hon- est, I love you! Page Seventy c Yes, it must have been he who said it. Then she was close to him and he heard her say, Oh, J immy! I love you too! Then he kissed her. More long summer evenings, more hours with Sue, more happiness crowded Jimmy's few remaining days at the lake. Love! It was surely a powerful thing. He walked on air. He just radiated happiness. It was all arranged. Sue would come to all of the football games that fall. Maybe -maybe-they could be married the next summer, if he could get himself a good job when he was graduated from the university in June. He was really happy, and thought only of Sue and the happy days ahead. At last the summer was over and Jimmy was back in college, working much harder at football and on letters to Sue than at his studies. Football games started about the first of October and on the day of the first game Jimmy was at the station with the little roadster a good many minutes before the train arrived with his Sue. Jimmy saw her as she stepped from the car. Funny thing, the old spirit and tense feeling did not run through his body when he saw her as it had in the summer. He rushed to meet her, however, and hurried her and her bag into the roadster and started for the school. He stopped the car on the road about half-way to the school and looked at her. So, this Wasn't the same girl that he had known last summer. All of the beautiful features remained, but the summer girl had been lively, vivacious, and this girl-well, he just couldn't explain it. Some of the old thrill came back when she raised her lips to his but it was short lived. After the football game that night Sue was very popular at the dance, but Jimmy lacked his old snap. His whole dream had crashed. Sue just came to a couple more games. The letters became less fre- quent. Sue was gone. She had been a--summer girl. it WAZZERNAJWE She was white, she had red hairg her face was deathly white. A man came into the roomy he picked her upg he hit her, but he was not satisfiedg he dashed her to the floor. He was not yet satisfied, so he ground his feet upon her. Her spirit and her back were broken. He picked her up and struck her, she flamed up in one last minute of courage and agony, then she died out. The spark of her heart had died- a match. ia Oh I love to skip assemblies, It's such exciting fun To dodge the dutiful monitors As down the steps I run. Yes, It's great sport for the Seniors And the Juniors too, I guess, But here's some special good advice On that very dangerous questg Don't do it, little Freshies, Nay, not until you're old, For it's a reserved pleasure For the Seniors, great and bold! Page Seventy-two ON THE FACULTY I know you love your teachers all! Oh yes, that's plain to see. So I've written numerous ditties On part of the Faculty. Mr. Crodian, first in line Very righteous, big and iine, CBut 'never see him when skipping class He can run fairly fast!! Next in order comes Miss Wilson Geometry! Oh my! And does she know her p's and q's Her angles and her pi's ! Then Miss Galbreath, hard at plays, And does she know them, every one? The way she coaches them, oh my, Never has the like been done! Oui, Mrs. Challis, parlez-vous? In French, she is the bestg In history too, she's very good, We like her much, Oh yes! Then Miss Bappert, small but mighty! In journalism she's great, She turns out our Peruvian Best paper in the state! I hear the chirping of a bug Oh! T'is Mr. Oury's pet! But does he know his biology? Best bug-man we've had yet! Then, Miss Wagner, typing, wow! She can do it fast, and how! On the copy, keep your eyes I Then you'll be a typist, wise. Oh Mr. Bittel! Chemistry And physics, too, they say His students learn so much I hear They know more every day. Then Mr. Rufe fthat poor mustache, It's really destitutej So I'll nary even mention it And gain his gratitude. Then Mr. Dawald, history, Oh gee, oh gee, what tests In making tests, a genius And questions, oh the best! Page Seventy three I'd really love this to prolong And relate each loving member But I haven't time, but I Want you This always to remember: Oh students of old Peru High Love your teachers, each and all, And your fame will ever echo In Peru High's old famous halls! 5 Oh, it's sliding down the banisters That I like best to do: It stimulates my feelings, And it drives away my blues. I love to feel its slippery side As gliding down I go. My bounding joy I cannot hide I have no room for woe. So its sliding down the banisters That suits me just the best: It's the most invigorating joy I know in P. H. S. 'i C. Fear: I've never been lost in a big city! P. Cogan: Why? C. Fear: Because I've never been in one! E ' In Mr, Bittel's 3rd period chemistry class: Talking of fixing utensils for an experiment: Berniece Hiers: I asked Mr. Bittel, but I guess I'll go and ask somebody that knows. it Mr. Oury: Now, Harry, how many times have I told you about laugh- ing out that way in school? Harry Hunt: Well, I didn't mean to laugh out loud, I just meant to laugh up my sleeve, but I didn't know there was a hole in the elbow. Teacher: Wise men hesitate: fools are certain. Student: Are you sure? Teacher: I'm certain. Miss Hutton: Joe, translate, Galba sie dicit ad de cur egessi lectum. Joe Oatis: Galba, siced the cat on the cur, I guess he licked him. Miss Eikenberry: When was the revival of learning? John Leahy: Mrs. Challis Roy Duncan Mrs. Challis Roy Duncan Miss Tereba, Just before the examination. 'Now tell us who followed Edward IV. Mary. And Who followed Mary? Her little lamb. in home nursing: And now, who can tell why we should be neat and clean? Isabelle Bowman: In case of accident. Page Seventy fou Miss Reed: John, why don't you work your geometry? John Gretzinger: I've run a sliver in my finger. Miss Reed: You've been scratching your head, I suppose. Russell Crawford: Isn't Nature wonderful? Connie Mack: Why? 'Russellz She gives us all faces, but we can pick our own teeth. For an hour Miss Tereba had dwelt on the part played by carbo- hydrates, proteins, fats, respectively in the upkeep of the human body. At the end some test questions were given: Can any girl tell me the three foods required to keep the body in health? There was silence until Margaret Ritzman held up her hand and re- plied, Yer breakfast, yer dinner, and yer supper. Mary Fisher: I woudn't marry the best man living. Walter W.: I'm sorry you feel that way about me, but I appreciate the compliment. Mr. Oury: Now how do bees dispose of their honey? Marjorie Beal: They cell it. A negro was trying to saddle a mule when a bystander asked, Does that mule ever kick you ? No, .suh, but he kicks sometimes whar I'se jes' been. Hi yelled the loud-mouthed Junior at the Freshie chasing his hat down the street, Why don't you nail it on ? That's what I'd do, remarked the hatless, if my head was made of the same material as yours. 'ix DEDICA TED TO' SOPHOMORES We Sophomores are a happy bunch Just doing as we please, And never bothering anyone Who leaves us at our ease. But just let others interfere, , And you will all find out, That we are made of stui that counts And all know how to shout. Sometimes the Seniors pick on us, As foolish Seniors will, But we just let themjpick ahead And steadily climb the hill. We hope to leave in two more years And each one go his way, And make a struggle in life's work To make up for past play. -Hazel Helvie. Page Seventy-five Page Seventy- six SUCH IS LIFE When you have to study English And you Want to have a date, And you can't Wait till the morning Cause you might get up too late So you go right on a studying With such toil and strife While the so-called smart ones take your place Oh Well, such is life! 1 Letters, Letters! Letters!! Letters!!! That's all girls rave about, When you start to get a girl a date This is What you hear her shout! Doesn't matter if he's not so handsome Doesn't matter if he's sorta shy, But get me a man with a letter Or I'll just simply die. Doesn't matter if he's not so strong and tall 'Cause letter men are always sweet, And We think these letter men Just can't be beat. Doesn't matter if he's got his letter In football, track, or basketball 'Cause I've got to have a letter man Or I don't Want any at all. Just run along and try to find one, Any letter man I'll take Tell some letter man to come and Give this girl a break. 'E Softly at dusk, When the birds are resting And the air seems filled With muskg When all is hushed as if resting And the night has yet to fallg From some low, Wooded hill Comes the plaintive call Of the Whip-poor-Will. 5 TWIN OAKS Together they split the stone Lodged o'er their earthly home And dee-rooted in the meagre sod Forged up toward God. A nest of blackbirds graced The sturdy branches interlaced. Shoulder to shoulder they stood, The tallest trees in all the Woody And when the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed And the lesser trees about them crashed They flung their leafy arms on high And waved defiance to the sky. Mr. Black: It takes 15,000 nuts to hold a car together and one to tear it apart. Miss Bappert: Say, Hugh, if you think you are funny and cute you are badly mistaken. You are just a pest. Now come up here in the front seat. Mary had a fountain pen, A birthday gift I think And every where that Mary went That pen was dribbling ink. It followed her to bed one night It dribbled on with vigor, When Mary woke at morning light She found herself a nigger. An Irishman while passing thru the graveyard noticed the words, I still live on a tombstone and remarked, Be jabbers, if I was dead I'd own up to it. Sir, your dog bit my little boy. Oh, no sir. It vasn't my dog. In der first place, I always keep my dog chained to his house, and in der second place, I haven't any dog in der first place. ,Russell Erb: Father, is a zebra a black animal with white stripes or a white animal with black stripes? Keith Herd: What would you do if a girl you were with told you she never wanted to see you again? Arthur Adams: I'd jump to my feet and leave. Keith: Yes, and leave her fall on the iioor, I suppose. Edith Melson: Do you file your finger nails? Winifred Foreman: No, I just throw them away after I cut them off. Graydon Mitchener Cspeaking of the churches giving baskets of food to poor families at Christmas timejz I think it's a good thing, because we sure need it. Melvin Kling: All right, Mitch, I'll be sure and see that you get one. 1 SAYINGS OF OUR TEACHERS Miss Eikenberry: That's my rule and I'm going to stick to it! Miss Galbreath: Only outlaws chew gum!

Barber: Is there any particular way you'd like your hair cut? Hugh Freeland: Yes, off.

MissfWagner: What have you in your mouth, Vera? Vera Spranger: Gum, do you want it? Mr. Dawald: Today merchants can't even display candy on the coun- ters, for somehow it gets right in boys' pockets and goes down the street. Ross 'Hippensteelz What time is it, 12 :45? Ruth Leavell: Yeh, exactly 12 :45. Ross Hippensteel: 'Right again. Don't trust the man that brags about being boss in his own home. He will lie about other things, too. A RADIO RECIPE His wife asked him to copy a radio recipe. He did his best, but got two stations at once: Hands on hips, place one cup of flour on your shoulder, raise knees and depress toes 5 mix thoroughly in one-half cup of milk, repeat six times. Inhale quickly one-half teaspoon of baking powder, lower legs and mash two hardboiled eggs in a sieve g exhale breath naturally and sift in a bowl. Attention! Lie flat on the floor and roll in the whites of two eggs backward and forward until it comes to a boil. In ten minutes remove from fire and rub smartly with a rough towel. Breathe naturally, dress in warm flannels and serve with tomato soup. i To taste the sweets of liberty I've always yearned and yearned g It's a special pleasure For which my heart does burn. But teachers-oh, they trust me notg They're always-oh-so cross and stern And that's a lot of rot. Well, I'll make them atone Oh, yes, I'll make them payg I'll teach their children just as cruelly When I'm an old teacher some day! TO -THE SENIORS Juniors once so jolly bright Now are Seniors bold And they're leavin' us at last I've been tearfully told. They hate to go but then, why not? We hate to see um leavin', But then we can't cheer um up If we stand here a grievin'. So, farwell, dear ol' Seniors, Best wishes by th' ton! We're wishin' success and happiness To each and every one. -Gee Kay. Page Eighty-three WHY RADIO LISTENERS GO CRAZY Squawk-squawk-weeeeek-awk-grr-pop pop-This is station B. V.D. broadcastin' th' basket ball game between Youtellum and Gottabite. The game is not quite ready to start yet and so we'll amuse you by letting you hear Ted Bigpain, the great sports writer speak. Oh, sorry, folks, sorry, Ted just went out of the booth to get a bottle of pop. There's a large crowd here and the predominating color seems to be blue: blue hats, blue dresses, blue coats, and blue faces. Lotsa nice looking girls sitting at the left of us-nice looking crowd, nice looking,-er-nice looking-ahem- well guess I'll let you listen to the crowd for a while. CTurns mikeb- fhigh cross voiceJ Hey ya big ham get your big canal boats off my coat- what ya think I am a floor mat? - Gee, I'd give live dollars for a smoke. There lad-ies and gent-le-men, isn't that school spirit for you! To hear them yell and cheer sure peps you up. Oh, I forgot to tell ya-the game started five minutes ago and Gottabitels got the ball-the score is tied. Just a minute! Someone wants to talk to me. Oh-ladies I've a surprise! Mr. Katsperjamer wishes to say a word- Hello! folks-hello, Mary, be good. Now wasn't that nice? It's raining outside now but everybody is comfortable. Oh, dear listeners, this ball game is anybody's game. The score is 29 to 6 in favor of Youtellum-no-6 to 29 in favor of Gottabite- anyhow J amz 'Rist made a basket and the score is -oh, no--my mis- take, the ball didn't go in the basket. The sun is out again and it has quit raining. I must have a smoke. Oh, dear people, the game is over but I can't see who won.

During the school year programs were given in various places. Q In the fall the Glee Club sang Three Springs by Paul Bliss at the Presbyterian church. The club also took part in the Fall Frolic and will take part in the Opera, Yeomen of the Guard, by Gilbert and Sullivan, and also in future entertainments. The club grows larger every year, the number enrolled being twenty- sixg ten sopranos, eight second Sopranos, and eight altos. Theymeet twice a Week. This club is directed by Mr. Ahrens, and accompanied by Hazel Sampson. 5 The trio from the Girls' Glee Club composed of Catherine Bryan, Caro- lyn Kenny, and Kathleen Buckley have participated in many programs and have been a great help to the music department. Several of the girls will be graduated this year which will leave a very noticeable vacancy. Among them is the pianist who has done excellent Work.

BOYS' GLEE CLUB Despite the fact that the Glee Club had not reached its natural size until the second semester, work has been progressing in a very splendid way. Our able director, Mr. Ahrens, has instilled into the club the deter- mination to make it an important one in Peru High School and has dis- played in the past, operettas which by constant work have proved an over- whelming success. The Glee Club possesses the Old Spirit and always has and always will strive to take and hold its position for the benefit of our school. Page Eighty-nine BAND Instructor-MR. ALVIN AHRENS.

The B band for beginners which practiced every day will fill up the vacancies in the High School Band next year. The band furnished music for entertainments given at school, pep sessions, basket ball games, including the regional tournament. One special feature of the year for the band was a very delightful banquet. The band will enter the Regional Band Contest at Muncie.

The object of the organization is to arouse enthusiasm for scholar- ship, stimulate a desire to render service, and to encourage the develop- ment of character. The members are chosen by the faculty from the upper quarter of the senior class. This year the Honor Society published the Junior Red Cross Paper and a bulletin on scholarship. .1 The members and their averages are as follows: Kathleen Leahy... Ernest Brown .........

Page Ninety-seven Walker, Porter, Dawald, Brown, McDaniels AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM This year marked Peru's second year of participation in debating, and already Peru has achieved a ranking as one of the best teams in the state. The Affirmative debated first upon Prohibition, and successfully defended the eighteenth amendment against the strong Wabash debaters. The most important victory of the season was the defeat handed the experienced Huntington squad, Who have been conspicuous in debate Work throughout the state for many years. In a second debate With Wabash upon the State Pension principal, the Affirmative lost the decision by a single point. The great interest shown in debating is due to the inspiration and en- thusiasm of the debating coach, Mr. Dawald. Page Ninety- eight Dice, Keith, McMinn, Dawald, Bell, Egnew. NEGATIVE DEBATE TEAM The proposed adoption of an Old Age Pension Law is a subject which is widely discussed and which will probably face the people, to be decided by them in the near future. The Negative Debate Team attacked the prin- cipal severely. The team ventured to Hartford City in February, where they went to defeat before the attacks of the opposing team. The next clash with Wabash High School resulted in a victory. In this debate Harold Porter and Ernest Brown of the Affirmative Team took part. The two debate teams were the guests of the Kiwanis Club at a ban- quet held in the Bearss Hotel March 3. The teams entertained the club with a debate. Medals were awarded by the club to the two best debaters. W Page Ninety e Standing: Gothard, Mowbray, Jones, Sandberg. Sitting: Vyverberg, Bolds, Gable, Briggs, Loveless. BOOSTER -CLUB P1'GStCt67'lt-JAMES HIGGINBOTHAM. Vice-President-ARTHUR GOTHARD. Secretary-MILDRED BRIGGS. Treasurer-AUDREY LONG. Sponsors-Miss BRUBAKER, Miss VYVERBERG, MR. LOVELESS. The Booster Club was organized some years ago in order to promote activities in Peru High School. The club is a great help especially in selling football and basketball season tickets. They also sell tickets for other activities such as: plays, rodeos, and operettas. Each year the club takes charge of a pep meeting. This year during the football season they put on a very clever program during the pep meet- ing which they took charge of. Since the sole purpose of the Booster Club is to boost activities in the school, the members do not have many social affairs among themselves. The members of the club are selected at the beginning of each year by the faculty. This year the members are: Jane Bailey, Betty Bolds, Mil- dred Briggs, Romayne Gable, Arthur Gothard, James Higginbotham, Toy Jones, Audrey Long, Joanne Martin, Albert Mowbray, Charles Sandberg, and Ralph Weger.

MITCHENER. The Hi-Y club, although delayed in its organization through failure to elect officers at the close of last year's work, made up for its loss of time at the first of the year, and succeeded in achieving several projects that had long been anticipated but never definitely undertaken. The club was particularly interested in the development of a Freshman Hi-Y, and hope to add this feature of the club work next year, along with several new clubs throughout the county. Early in the year all members desiring to go to the Older Boys' Con- ference at Elkhart were sent by the club. Following the conference, plans were made for inter-club meetings with neighboring cities. A highly suc- cessful joint meeting was held with the Kokomo club at Kokomo, and the local club planned to entertain them at a later date. The next important event on the club's calendar was the Guest Banquet at the Bearss Hotel, which proved to be very enjoyable. In March the annual Fathers' and Sons' banquet was held, followed by the Mothers' and Sons' banquet in May. The activities were brought to a close for the year with a picnic at Lake Manitou. The regular program of the club consisted of a weekly business meeting, with a semi-weekly supper followed by bible study and informal discussion.

Several years ago a need was felt for an activity to supplement the activities of the Commercial Department in the High School, so the teach- ers and students of the department decided upon the formation of a Com- mercial Club. This organization existed for several years, but in the year of 1928-1929 it Was disbanded. However, it Was re-organized again in September of 1929. The purpose of the club is to further commercial Work and activities in every possible way. The constitution of the club was rewritten this year and changed in several Ways, to allow anyone who is taking or has taken Work in the Com- mercial Department, to become members. The program consists of longhand and shorthand spelling matches, shorthand and typewriting contests, talks by business men of the city, plays, demonstrations, and social activities. The most important project during the year is to raise funds to defray the expenses of the Commercial Contest, which consist of a district, which is usually held at Logansport, and a state contest, held annually at Muncie. These funds are raised by selling candy in the main corridors during the noon hour. Page One Hundred Two l . T for I. LOYAL ROOTERS President-BETTY OGDEN. Vice-President-KATHLEEN BUCKLEY.

Before Peru High School had a gymnasium, the athletic Spirit was so lacking among the students that a few loyal girls met to discuss the situa- tion and to see if something could not be done to improve it. As a result, the Loyal Rooters Club, popularly known as the L. R. Club, was organized. The purpose of the organization was to foster athletics and the right school spirit. The first year parties were given after each football game, financed by the girls. These proved to be very expensive, so they began to earn money by selling candy and Eskimo pies at the basketball and football games. Each year the club undertakes some project, such as purchasing blan- kets for the football boys, sweaters for the basketball girls and furniture to equip the girls' varsity room. It is the custom of the club to have one annual banquet for the mem- bers and the athletes instead of a number of minor parties. Until this year the business meetings were held after school but recent- ly a new plan was tried, that of having supper for the club girls once a month and combining the business meetings and programs with them. This has proved to be very successful. Page One Hundred Three LLATIN CLUB CENTURIA PRIMA CENTURIA SECUNDA President-LeRoy Heminger. President-Neil Grove. Vice-President-Virginia Conrad.

The Latin Club, Legio Decima, was divided into two sections: the one, Centuria Prima, consisting of advanced students, and the Centuria Secunda, of beginning students. The clubs met once a month. All students are eligible Who are taking or have taken Latin. Club programs for the year were varied. One represented a Roman marriage, in which all members appeared in Roman costume. Christmas was celebrated with Saturnalia entertainments by both clubs. In the radio program great Romans gave advice to the present generations. Other fea- tures of programs were plays, reports, stunts, and Latin songs. Four of our club members represented our country at the District Latin Contest for divisions IA and II, resulting in Verna Mary ,Miller Win- ning first place and Edith Jackson second in the former division. Verna Mary Miller entered the State Contest at Bloomington. Page One Hundred Four GIRL RESERVES- Pfresident-KATHLEEN BUCKLEY. Vice-President-MARGARET MURPHY. Second Vice-Po'esident4RosE ELLEN S1MoNs.

It was thought best to reorganize this year, and late in November a club with new requirements and purposes was evolved. Membership was limited to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Attendance was made compulsory, and new members were voted into the club upon application. Handicapped by a late start, the club worked hard to have a success- ful year. Meetings are held every two weeks and consist of talks by inter- esting people, discussions, plays, and ceremonials. The club plans one service project a year For this eai'S ro'ect the - Y ' P J club voted to secure the co-operation of the entire high school in filling Christmas baskets for needy families. To fill their empty coffers the club was granted the concessions at the Sectional Tournament. Every year the club sends two delegates to camp to get inspiration and plans for the next year'S work. The club enjoyed many Social functions during the year including ban- quets, suppers, and parties. They planned to have one guest party. Since all members took part in all the activities of the club, the club completed its fifth year with colors flying. Page Ono Hundred Five 4-H CLUB President-ISABELLE BOWMAN.

It Was organized in the fall of 1923 and has gradually been growing until it now boasts of more than sixty active members. Meetings are held the first and third Tuesdays of each month in the sewing room. Any girl who is taking or has taken home economics may become a member. The club is now affiliated with both the State Home Economics Club and the National Home Economics Club. This year four representatives were sent to attend the State meeting. One of the most important things accomplished this year was sponsor- ing other Home Economics Clubs in two other schcols. The 4-H Club motto, Make the best better, is one of which any girl should be duly proud. The four H's signify heart, head, hand, and health, all of which help in making a well-rounded girl. One of the most outstanding events of the year's activities is the Par- ents' Banquet, to which every member looks forward.

The purpose of the club is to promote interest in the French language, in the history of France, and in French literature. As to eligibility, anyone taking French or who has taken it may be- come a member. The meetings are held once a month. The charter of the club is the same one that was drawn up When the French circle was founded in 1918, somewhat amended to suit the present conditions. The program included songs, French readings, special papers on the French language, and lives and Works of famous Frenchmen. Miss Eiken- berry and Miss Warder gave interesting talks on their travels in Europe. Page One Hundred Seven SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB President-ROBERT MORRIS. Vice-President-PAUL MCCARTHY.

As the name implies, the Social Science Club was organized in 1928 for the purpose of getting students interested in social problems. Much valuable information concerning affairs relating to human living was received from films: Ancient Alphabet , First Families of Ameri- ca, and The Hoosier Schoolmastern from Eggleston's book of the same name. Several men have spoken before the club. Lawyer Poe Kling com- pared Washington With Lincoln. A costume play will be given showing dress and changes of styles in the different periods of history.

LOVELESS HARRY JUSTICE Coach Assistant Coach Coach Loveless, coming from DePauw University, where he was a foot- ball star, has very capably filled the position as Peru's football coach. This is his first year in Peru, but in this time he has turned out a winning team that shows up the teams of previous years. He is head football and track coach, and also coaches the reserve basketball teams. Mr. Justice is Peru's assistant football coach. He was a football play- er at Franklin College, where he held the position as halfback. He has worked hard with the fellows and deserves much credit. The Tigers opened their 1929 football season by defeating Noblesville. Both teams were off form but when the final gun sounded Peru had won. Peru's second victory was Rochester. The Zebras came here determin- ed to win but were sadly turned away with no points to their credit. Back Row: Justice, J. Holland, Briner, J. Smith, L. Smith, Sandberg, R. Holland, B. Gothard, A.

At the half the score was 6 to 6. In the last few minutes Kokomo intercepted Peru's passes and piled up points. Peru won from Warsaw in a very thrilling game. Peru was very much of form. Warsaw scored first, but Peru came back in the second half to win. Huntington had a speedy little team which held Peru scoreless until the start of the second half, then Peru scored and this was followed by two more touchdowns. Also the try for the extra point was made. Top Row: John Gretzinger, Guardg Richard Olinger, Tackleg Arthur Gothard, Tackleg Harvey Simpkins, Endg Archie Carroll, Fullback. Bottom Row: Thomas Roser, Taekleg Robert Morris, Halfbackg William Burkhart, Endg Melvin Kling, Center. Page One Hundred Thirteen Peru was greatly outweighed by Logansnort. Their off guard plays weakened the Peru line. Peru was unfortunate in having to play Logans- port when the team seemed to be in a slump. Peru's old foe, the Wabash team, got the best of the bargain again. Although Peru outplayed them they were unable to score when they need- ed the points. Consequently Wabash won. North Side had a very strong team, scoring twice before Peru. Peru scored before the half, making the score 12 to 6 in favor of North Side, then came back in the last half to win. This game Was undoubtedly one of the most thrilling ever played on Peru's gridiron. Although a number of good players will not be back next year, a very successful football season is predicted for 1930 under the guidance of Coach Loveless. The Seniors who will leave the squad by graduation are: Ralph Weg-er, Arthur Gothard, Kenneth Cunningham, Herman Wittchow, John Gretzing- er, Melvin Kling, Thomas Roscr, James Higginbotham, and Morris Cross- land.

This was Harold Powell's second year as coach of our high school track team. The success of the 1929 track team was largely due to the efforts of Coach Powell who coached the boys and inspired them with a determination to establish new track records. The Track Team had a very successful season sending nine men to the State meet which was held in Indianapolis. The men who went to the State are Toy Jones, Ralph Weger, Morris Crossland, fReX Martin, Glenn Jenkins, John Phillips, LeRoy Heminger, Donald Baker, and James Higgin- botham.

Mr. Moore came to Peru High School eight years ago When our team rated only as a county team and has made a basketball team in Peru that is among the big ten of the state. One of the main reasons for Mr. Moore's success is the high ideals he teaches thc boys Who work under him. FIRST FIVE Standing: Dice, Bruce, Newhouse, Brown, Jones. Sitting: Moore, Rhodes CStudent Managery Page One Hunilrvil Eighteen The Peru team had the most successful year that they have ever had, according to the words of Mr. Moore. He says that it is the best group of boys that he has ever worked with, and they have performed best. The boys on the team receiving sweaters this year are: Captain Toy Jones, Alfred Newhouse, Lloyd Dice, Ralph Weger, Donald Baker, Alvia Smith, and Arthur Gothard. Those receiving letters are: John Bruce, Emro Brown, George Schaefer, John Phillips, Bob Crider, Cecil Vignary, and Harvey Simpkins. The loss of the above named will be felt greatly but the letter men left will make a fine nucleus for our team the coming year. The Kokomo game was among the most important games of the season. When the Tigers visited the Kats camp there was a real battle. Coach Masters had a well coached team and the Tigers had to put out every trick they had in order to win. This was the first time in the history of our school that a Peru team has ever beaten a Kokomo team. Peru scored two very impressive victories at home this year, the first being with Delphi. This was the second straight victory for the Tigers over the Delphi team in the last two times that they have met. This season was the first that Peru scored a victory against the strong Jefferson team of Lafayette. Another one of the big features of the Tigers season was the trip to Illinois, where they played Canton and Springfield. The teams faced a new type of basketball in the Illinois encounters, but came out with a very suc- cessful trip, considering that the Canton players were the National Champs in '27. The team lost to them by two points but at Springfield the tables turned, and the Tigers scored a very impressive victory.

They usually played curtain raisers for the A team games and had a very suc- cessful season, losing but seven games. Most of the members of this team will be available material for next year's A team. The C team was made up of Freshmen and Sophomores. They played only a few games but didn't lose any of them. This team was coached by Mr. Loveless. One of the main things they did was win an invitational tourney held at Huntington for B teams. This team will be the nucleus for Peru's basketball team for the next two or three years. CUBS Back Row: Oates, Kurtz, Loveless, Holland, Antrim, Carroll.

Although this is Miss Brubaker's first year as coach of our girls' bas- ketball team, she has put out a team that has gone through a very successful season. She has had the training and has the ability to lead the team to success. The Tigerettes experienced a short, but very successful season, Win- ning five of the six games played, three of which were played on the home floor. The five Seniors who leave the team by graduation and who received sweaters are: Jennie Gothard, Betty Ogden, Mildred Bennett, Ruth Benner, and Romayne Gable. The members of the team who received letters are Ruth Melson, Vir- ginia Antrim, Mary Fisher, Elizabeth Everett, Gladys Butler, and Naomi Kline. Hazel Carpenter received a monogram.

Bottom Row: Mary Fisher, Guard, Ruth Melson, Running Center, Ruth Benner, For- ward, Gladys Butler, Forwardg Elizabeth Everett, Guard. Jennie Gothard, this year's captain and a three-year player, has led her team through a very successful season with exceptional ability. Her place was in center ring. Betty Ogden, who has played for three years, was a fast and very ac- curate player. It was known that when she gained possession of the ball two more points could be marked down for Peru. This was Romayne Gable's nrst year on the team but she certainly proved to be a valuable player. She played guard and running center. Ruth Benner-'s two years as forward were successful ones. Her de- termination and persistence were characteristics that proved to be an in- spiration for the team. Mildred Bennett, a two-year player, gave her valuable assistance as forward. She was a determined player and indeed an asset to the team. Hazel Carpenter came in at the last of the season, and aided greatly in whatever position she was needed. Gladys Butler, a Freshman, certainly showed her ability to play bas- ketball during her first year as forward. Naomi Kline, also a Freshman, efficiently played her part as substitute running center. The Sophomore class was wcll represented by Ruth Melson, who held the position of running center for two years. From the junior class we find Virginia Antrim, Mary Fisher, and Elizabeth Everett, a trio of guards, whom their opponents found to be ever alert, and not at all easy to out-play.

Main Street PERU, INDIANA I Telephone 2151 Page One Hundred Twenty-eight DISASTER CAUSED BY A CLOCK Pete fshe's a girlll was supposed to be home early. She always was supposed to be home early-and never was. But two nights before, her father had insisted. Papa insisted, mama wept-and Pete stayed out late. Tonite Pete was going to a dance. In response to the impatient honk- ilgg of the Ford she powdered her nose, grabbed her coat and dashed down s airs. Her original plan was to dash out in time to miss the Be home early! family chorus. On reaching the door she changed her mind and tip-toed back the hall, at whose end stood a large clock. Cautiously Pete looked about, opened the case, and turned the hands back one hour. Guess that'll hold them awhile, she muttered to herself as she gallop- ed to the door, sweetly C 'IJ carolling goodbye-and was gone. Gaily she hopped in the Ford, powdered her nose again and began to talk f not that she ever stopped! as they proceeded to the dance. fThis denotes timeJ ' it if 'F 'F ' 'f 'K Pete said a muffled farewell to her escort of the Ford and cautiously ascended the steps to the porch of her place of dwelling. After all, thought she, it's only one, and I set the clock back. She complimented herself on this act of genius. Giggling nervously she found the key and unlocked the door. Softly she stepped inside and shut the door behind her. Walking in the dark is not an easy matter. This she soon discovered. At the foot of the stairs she removed her shoes, and with a defiant look at the clock she began to ascend. First step. fcreaklj Second step. fcreak! creaklj Pete was getting nervous. Gosh! There were fourteen more steps. Third step. fcreak! creak! creakll Gosh! What would the fourteenth be! Pete was not poetical, but this flashed into her mind: Crawling up the stairs One step at a time, Gosh but they do creakl Isn't this sublime C?!!?J Crawling up the stairs Squeek! squeek! squeek! squeek! squeek! Just imagine the noise I'd make If I were a centipede! fThis was composed on the fourth stepl. Fifth step fsilenceb Sixth step fsilenceb Pete was grateful: Gee, I'm feeling better now, These steps aren't quite so bad. I wonder how it's happened That I haven't wakened dad! Pete was now on the landing. Only ten more steps! Pete stepped and--crash! After the tumult came the calm. Terribly so. Pete was sitting in a mangled condition on the kitchen floor. She had fallen down the steps on the other side of the landing. Weakly she arose. It was no use now. Surely she had made enough noise to wake up the whole neighborhood. But -silence. Pete wondered. Oh, could it be -I Page One Hundred Twenty-nine Pete dashed up five steps, fell short on the sixth and grabbed at the curtain on the landing to keep from falling. Alas, vain effort! Crash I bang! rip !-i-silence. Pete picked herself up from the ruins of several ru.mpled curtains, broken rods and an overturned chair. With a sigh, she realized it was no longer necessary to be quiet. But why wasn't everybody rushing down? Pete dashed upstairs. Silence. What did it mean anyway? On her door Was sealed her fate. 'Twas a note which read thus: Dear Pete: Your father was suddenly called out of town and I'm going with him. We will be home tomorrow. We waited for you till eleven o'clock. I hope you get home early and don't be late to school. Mother. Pete sank dejectedly on the bed. The clock struck 12:30. An hour late. Pete groanedl-again. -And to think of rushing home and taking a half hou.r to get up- stairs in order to do it quietly f?J - fThis also denotes timey 'F if 'F it if if if ' 'F The clock struck eight-thirty. Pete wearily arose. Who cared about school anyway? Dragging herself downstairs she glanced at the clock. Eight-thirty! And with the light returned her memory. She had turned the clock back an hour! It was nine-thirty! The gaze turned to a stare, a stony glassy stare. Q With a groan Pete sat on the step. She started to say something, changed her mind, sighed weakly and said, Aw, what's the use! VI1heEndPl4fl4PkPkvl42k Author's Note: So children, mind your parents, And tamper not with clocks Or they'll be sure to get you If you don't watch out! -HELEN HIGGINBOTHAM. qt Julia Simpson: How did the track meet come out Saturday?

Harold Porter: The more I read about Federal Reserve the less I know. Mr. Dawald: Well, tell us what you knew when you. began to read. He: Sweetheart, I know you love me. She: What gives you that impression? He: I love you and therefore I am a lover. All the world loves a lover, and, since you are all the world to me, well-you love me. The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, and the rest willing to let them. Page One Hundred Thirty FIRESTONE fi ' YOUNG'S SOUTH SIDE ' BOTTLING WORKS ' 1 One Stop Serwce L C. R.

He then perchance in the vast blue light His own fair likeness did see. Some beautiful nymph he thought had arisen From out of the tranquil deep. He extended his arm, in an effort to catch The object, and ever to keep. The image was blurred when the waters were stirred And always eluded his grasp. To embrace this lovely form he averred Was all that he could ask. I The passing days made him pale and wan Until he vanished away. To his memory arose as suddenly as dawn A flower forever to stay. The fragrant petals, so frail, so gay, Remind us of life within us, And in this volume we have tried to convey The spirit of the naive Narcissus. Page One Hundred Fifty-two
