SECONDARY COUNCIL GNE of the outstanding organizations of Peru High School is the group of home room presi- dents who meet weekly to discuss various prob- lems in the high school. The members of the club have worked hard in planning good programs for the home rooms to choose from. They have succeeded in boosting scholarship and attendance to a high standard. Banners are awarded each week to the rooms hav- ing the highest percentage in attendance. A sil- ver cup was given to the home room receiving the most points in a contest which lasted the first semester of the school year. A spelling contest which aroused much enthusiasm was sponsored by this organization. The secondary council is behind all activities in the high school, such as plays, athletics, rodeo, debating, and operetta. Miss Wood is sponsor of this organization, and the officers for the first semester were: Pres- ident, Emro Brown, vice president, Archer Car- roll, and secretary, Edna McMinn. Second semes- ter: president, Emro Brown, vice president, Arch- er Carroll, and secretary, Emile Drake. Q. Customer-Where is the steak on your menu ? Waiter Creadingb - There, sir, sirloin steak a la carte. Customer- Good, wheel it in. K-FP Garments that have one rent in them are sub- ject to be torn on every nail and every briar, and glasses that are once cracked are soon broken, such is man's good name when once tainted with just reproach. -Bishop Hall. Page Twenty-eight Mr. Briggs- That young man of yours stay- ed very late last night. Mildred- Yes, daddy, I was showing him my photo album. Mr. Briggs- Well, the next time he wants to stay late, show him the electric light bills. sf Travel Note- We were too late, said the ex- plorer, to rescue the poor man from the canni- bals. By the time we reached him, heuhad been scratched off the menu.

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. A man of importance, eh? No, only a radio announcer. Paar- Twenty-sr-von

All students are eligible who are taking or have taken Latin. There were many interesting programs dur- ing the year. Talks were given on: Roman cus- toms, Roman food, origin of the months of the year, Roman police force, and many other sub- jects. At the Christmas program, talks were given on Saturnalia, and the Roman Christmas. The last program of the year was based on Caesar, giving his personal characteristics. and his ac- complishments. A debate Was also given arguing whether Caesar was justified in his ultimate aims. Four of the club members participated in the County Latin Contest, being entered in the first and second year divisions.
