N the fall of '28 there was seen wandering through the halls of P. H. S. one of the greenest looking Freshmen classes that had ever looked at shoelaces or tall buildings. With the curiosity that only upperclassmen have, some of the Fresh- men boys were singled out to undergo an experi- ment, testing whether those Freshmen or any Freshmen, so conceived and so dedicated could long endure. These favored boys were dampened somewhat, and then stood up before the radiators to dry, but alas, the frowning upperclassmen were foiled, the objects of the experiment did not warp. During the past three years the attention of the whole school has been focused upon this class, at various times. Frances Patterson won the coun- ty Latin contest in '29, Mamie Siler was May Queen in '29, the only Freshman ever to have that distinction. Harriet Rhodes won the State Pag- eant Contest last year, and her Pageant was pre- sented both here and at Indianapolis with marked success. Members of this class have participated freely in athletics, debating, and other outside ac- tivities. l Last year it presented, Minstrels of 1930 . This was said to be the best auditorium of the year. On November 22, of this year, the Junior .. , ., . e.. - Q, S Wi l 5.1 it ,F r l. i . In rf l 4 X ,i .54 d .-x J ,a Q s F ' df l 422 . .af , , ,.

THE NARCISSUS CLASS OFFICERS EVERYONE who is a class officer has quite a large responsibility, especially the presidents. They are the ones who are usually considered the cause of all failures or success of any class project. The junior officers, led by Donald Moore, have made a great success of that class. The play, The Goose Hangs High , was one of the out- standing junior plays ever given in Peru High School. For this we give credit to the careful coaching of Miss Galbreath. Every year it is the duty of each class to give an auditorium. Of course, everyone thinks his class auditorium the best, but the programs were all so interesting and original this year that it JUNIOR would be a big job to actually decide on the out- standing one. .The junior and senior class officers decided to sponsor the junior-senior mixer. They only had one, but it was quite novel and everyone enjoyed it a lot. Where is there an underclassman who does not envy the juniors and seniors when the time for the great junior-senior prom arrives? Surely, this year was no exception. Great plans were made for this and all responsibility rests upon the junior officers. They are justified in wishing themselves ordinary mortals when this job befalls them. But they do not shirk their duty, and every- one does his best to make the prom an event en- joyed by everyone. DON MOORE. THOMAS IIRITTON, Vice I'1'1-sidcnt JICAN SIIARIH IIICLIGN H1421 IINBOTIIAM.

SENIOR PARTY About fifty dignified Seniors were provided entertainment in the high school gym on the night of December 12, 1930. Ethel Marsh, one of the songsters of the class, sang several selections. A duet, composed of Connie Mack Hobbs and Robert Garritson, also entertained with two jolly num- bers. Little Maxine Hughes was very petite in a tap dance, accompanied at the Baldwin by Joe Rody, Peru High School's Little Jack Little. The class president, Bill McDaniel, had to have his lit- tle dash of humor by reading what these dignified upper classmen had asked Santa Claus to bring them. After such a fine program the Seniors danced to the music furnished by the orchestrope, some- thing new, initiated into parties by this all import- ant class. After having danced for several hours, the dignitaries were served refreshments which were eaten under the mellow lights of the gym, which was decorated in pastel colors. As the time was approaching a late hour, the weary party goers wended their way home after a glorious evening, the last of its kind for them, spent in the gym of Peru.High School. The chaperones at this delightful affair were Miss Wood, Miss Eikenberry, and Mr. Thomas. Lucille Miller. Lf The heights of great men reached and kept. Were not attained by sudden fiightg But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. -Longfellow. Page Twenty-one

l l THE NARCISSUS Play was presented, and was a success in every Way. The Junior Class again fooled the student body on April 1,.by putting on an auditorium, that from their unofficial decision, surpassed all others. A The Junior and Senior classes Went together in putting on a Mixer . Owing to the number of activities at the end of the year, there Will be no more of these this year, but it is hoped that they will be continued next year. The biggest social event of the school year takes place on May 22, the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. This is a Junior project, and they ex- pect to repeat the success this event has had in former years. The class of '32 congratulates the graduating Seniors, and expects that it can take their place next year. and prove itself a Worthy successor. The sponsors of this class are: Miss Wagner, Miss Eikenberry and Mr. Bittel.

It was very rushed. In fact rushed from Wednesday until Friday, October 10. A hard time party in person, and Mr. Bittel was hard times personified. A short program preceded the dancing which preceded the big event of the evening-cider and doughnuts. The music was contributed by a very fascinating orchestra. The orchestra pit was lighted by floor lamps very generously loaned by various students. The entire ball room was dimly lighted, presenting a supernatural appearance. We were honored by having Mr. Loveless and his guest, and Mr. and Mrs. Crodian as our guests. It is useless to add that the entire evening was es- joyed by all. Pzige Twenty-three
