THE NARCISSUS FRESHMAN CLASS EAR ye! Hear ye! I will here relate to all whom it may concern the events of the most noble and praise-worthy class, the Freshman class of 1931. The year began by having some of the most dignified members of our class sit upon certain fountains in and about the building fall survivedj. Next in the line of events came the election of class officers. The class elected Robert Coppock president for the year 1931. Leadership was also shown among the Freshmen in the election of sev- eral Freshmen as home room presidents. I am sure all who were elected were certainly proud of their offices. Next came the Freshman party-a social high light of the year. Games were played and delight- ful refreshments served. Our class next went back to short dresses, half socks, and hair ribbons, in an old-fashioned scene in the Freshman auditorium. John Hanna presided as teacher and the pupils furnished the program, which was one of the funniest and most interesting ever given in Peru High School. This honored class played a very active part in the annual Rodeo which was held in the high , CContinued on Page 275 First Row, left to right-Roger Baber, Roland Brock, Warren Conrad, John Crawford, Conrad Baldwfn, Fred Davis, Richard Beck, Albert Cole, Don Butt, Robert Bender, Robert Coppock, Sam Caple, Milton Cypherd, Kenneth Bonney, Roger Clvmer, Monroe Al- frey.

Orange and black, Hallowe'en colors, were used in decorating. The program was composed of two dance numbers and an imitation operation performed be- hind a sheet by Mr. Oury. A number of boys and girls then participated in marshmallow and pie eating contests, a very sticky amusement. Later in the evening games and dancing were enjoyed. Page Twenty-six Of course the part we all enjoyed most was when refreshments were served. At 10:45 the party broke up and everyone went home feeling as though they had had an en- joyable evening. 5 A man's reach should exceed his grasp. -Browning. 5' Hotel Clerk- Have you a reservation ?

THE NARCISSUS BIG PARTY! Wheel Big event! Sophomore Party! On Friday, November 7, 1930, the Peru High School gym was decorated in attractive colors for the anual Sophomore Party. About eight o'clock almost all of the deah ole Sophs had arrived. We had a very interesting program in which Miss Hunt, Miss Wendt, Miss Kline, Mr. Devine, Mr. Bolds, Mr. Rife, and Mr. Brunner took part. After the program a three-piece band furn- ished music for us to dance. Those who didn't care to dance played cards such as bridge, bunco, and Old Man. Um! Um! Refreshments were served later in the evening. They consisted of sandwiches, nuts, candy, doughnuts, and cider. They were all very good, for Miss Finch, Miss Hoffman, and the Soph- omores labored many hours to make them. 5?

THE NARCISSUS FRESHMAN CLASS fContinued from Page 265 school gymnasium. The class furnished, along with musical talent and dancing, many unusual freaks for sideshows. The class has participated in many athletic events of this year. We have several good basket- ball players, football players, and boys on the track team. Along with social and athletic events, the Freshmen have also participated in several state contests, among which are the Latin and mathematics contests. A high standing was attained by one of the freshmen in the mathematics contest, and several won high place in the Latin contest. Who says that the Freshmen are always green? We have many students in the Freshman class who received improvement and achievement pins when the Parent-Teachers Association awarded these pins at the end of the first semester of this year. We also have many pupils who are on the honor roll and many who are aspiring for the Honor Society when they are Juniors .or Seniors. Of course, this year is not over, and the Freshman class may still do more things of inter- est to old P. H. S. Alice O,Leary.

Come and see how you would be punished, girls, if you wore lip sticks. Music-all kinds and plenty hot. This is just a bird's eye view of the Tenth Annual Rodeo side shows. And don't forget the main show-dancing- singing-jokes-everything to make one forget that he owes the milkman, and the telephone bill has not been paid. All for twenty-five cents. Everyone felt like children attending their first circus when the clowns came bouncing on the stage-and boy! Oh boy! The cowboys sure could crack a whip-and guess who was here- you guessed it-Tom Mix in flesh and blood. Up to his old tricks of crowning again-'twas the cli- max of the evening-what? Oh! he crowned Miss Jane Bailey as queen of the 1931 Rodeo. iff' To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day-thou canst not then be false to any man. -Shakespeare. 15 When he speaks a whole nation listens.
