LEADERSHIP The direction, scope and thoroughness of a school's activity follows to an unusual degree the school leaders. To be successful these leaders must possess an understanding of people and their problems. Their influence has much to do with the spirit, attitude and success of the school and com- munity. They are by training and experience fitted for this work. The success attained by Peru High School graduates bears testimony to this fitness. Knowledge, executive ability and personality contribute to this fitness. Personality is the fountain head of inspiration, the driving force of genius, the expression of the soul. The personality of these men provides inspiration and direction for the faculty who in turn impart to the students that measure of inspiration and leadership so necessary in coordinating and directing the large body of molten energy, that is the school. A nolble aim, Faitlwlully kept, is as a noble deed, ln Wlwose pure siglwt all virtue dotlm succeed. Wordsworth FACULTY pointers . . . . absence slips . . . . notebooks .... examinations V ALVIN W.

Once more the curtain of High School life closes, slowly but surely, and once more another group is sent into the world to seek, to master, and to succeed. Let us turn back the hands of time to a day in the autumn of '30. Eagerly, expectantly, and industriously, a number of students responded to the call of Educa- tion and entered the portals of P. H. S. not realizing the preparation anticipated, the unpassable hardships together with the joy of accomplishment and the unforgettable memories which they would encounter. But through the guidance of its able presi- dent and cooperation of a most helpful faculty, the class of '34 survived its freshman year with an excellent showing. - , The next step on the ladder of learning was approached and conquered. Begin- ning with a clear knowledge of the application sought for, the sophomore year was terminated favorably. of satisfaction to our third success of the Junior play During these various stages set up. In renewing our climb, we pause with a great deal year in this venerable institution of advancement. The Skidding exemplified the spirit and talent of the class. of progress new ideals were sought and new goals were Then came our most memorable year. We were Seniors! And now as the time approaches for us to bid adieu to those teachers and friends whom we must leave be- hind, we hesitate to step so quickly from oblivion. Dramatics, debating and oratory, and music are Well displayed in this class. We have several all-round athletes and many who have noticeable skill and are prominent in basketball and football. With a great deal of regret we leave old P. H. S. hoping that we have set good examples for our successors. U23 X.

R. Club was organized to back and support school athletics. It originally had about nine members, but at the present time there are two hund- red girls in the club. Every year the Loyal Rooters give something Worthwhile to the school. They finance this project by selling candy and ice cream at all athletic events. This year they presented the school with a new radio. Every month the club has a social meeting. These meetings are Varied in the form of pitch-in-suppers, dances and banquets. The sponsors of the club are Miss Wagner and Miss Wood. Senior I-Ii-V Club Those young men who strive to help others and do that which is right, tomorrow become the righteous, honest men Whose friendship is cherished. One can not con- ceive a more noble purpose than that of the Hi-Y Club: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.

Each semester a banquet is given in honor of the newly chosen members, and every spring there is a Mother Son Banquet. The club has charge of the check-room at games. This year, to promote good fellowship in relation to rivalry, the Peru and Wabash Hi-Y clubs have originated an appropriate trophy to be award- ed the winner of the football game each year. Any junior or senior having high grades, after being found satisfactory by mem- bers of the club, is eligible for membership. The club is sponsored by Mr. Crodian. The Junior i-ii-V A In the year 1931-32 the Junior Hi-Y was organized. Freshmen and Sophomore boys who have a good scholastic standing and are willing to live up to its purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character, are eligible for membership. At present there are fifty-five members in the club. This year the club had the pleasure of attending the Older Boys' Conference held in Kokomo. The Peru organization had the largest delegation of boys at the con- ference. The sponsors are Mr. Oury and Mr. Crodian.

The purpose of this organization is to create good will, promote good citizenship, and to do all in its power to make Peru High School a better and finer school. It is through this organization that the student body comes in contact with the adminis- tration of the school. The council has charge of the monitor system. They also have sponsored cam- paigns to popularize the library which was remodeled during the winter. Much credit for the success of this year's student government is due to Miss Reed, who sponsors the club. The Peruvian In the years since the Peruvian was first published it has grown from a small pamphlet to a full sized newspaper. Under the leadership of Miss Lillian Bappert, instructor, the paper is edited by the clas in Journalism. It is printed in the school print shop under the supervision of Mr. Boone and Francis Wilson, student printer. Each two weeks the Peruvian displays the news of Peru High School and neigh- boring schools. It stimulates school spirit and gives its publisher practical experience in the journalistic Work. The Peruvian is not a commercial project, but has purchased and paid for the most of the equipment used in the print shop and closes each year with a fair profit. T403 The Narcissus The Narcissus is intended to be a record in picture and narrative of the activities of the students of our High School-a memory book of youths happiest days, of chal- lenges to be met, obstacles to be overcome, defeats to be suffered, pleasures to be enjoyed, of friendships and romances. The Narcissus has been published by the Senior class of Peru High School each year since 1902. Each year since then it has assumed a larger interest in the lives of the students. This interest has spurred the staff in their efforts to provide a book that would be interesting and attractive. This alone, however, would never have built the book. It is to the loyal cooperation of the faculty, students, and staff-members that we wish to pay tribute. Interest and cooperation have made this work possible. In this spirit of cooperation, loyalty, and friendship, the Narcissus Staff offers this book for 1934. THE NARCISSUS STAFF ECltt0T-MARY MARGARET CHEESMAN.

M7 The State Commercial Contest - This year the thirteenth annual Indiana State Commercial Contest was held at Muncie on April 28. The beginning Shorthand team composed of Patsy Rabe, Mildred Jackson and Mary Margaret Cheesman placed second in the state. The advanced' Shorthand team composed of Edna McMinn, Bertha Hoff and Ruth Thompson placed third in the State. Peru was very fortunate in being able to send six teams to the contest this year although bookkeeping and typing did not win awards. State Discussion League Contest General debating develops important abilities-knowledge of the subject, keen insight, skill in public appearance, and quick wits. During the course of the State Discussion League Contest, sponsored by Indiana University, these qualities were developed to a marked degree in those who took part in the competition. The subject of the debate was: Resolved: that the United States should adopt the Essential Features of the British System of Radio Control and Operation. John Barnhart and Virginia Greenwald participated in the contest. John Barnhart was the winner of the local contest and represented Peru High School in the County Contest. The contestants gained skill and knowledge that will aid them on future occasions. The contest was under the direction of Miss Galbreath. -I-he Latin Contest Each year the Extension Division of Indiana University conducts a series of State Latin Contests, all questions being framed by one committee. There are four divisions for the four years of Latin. In the local contest Betty Hass and Cleo Kunkle were winners for the first division, and Patsy Rabe and Edna Hiner for second division. These entered the county contest where Patsy Rabe was one of the winners who then entered the district contest. The Music Contests First place winners in the annual music contest conducted by the Psi Iota Xi sorority in Peru High School were Miss Eleanor Sullivan, piano division, Miss Ester- alyce Bolton, vocal division, and Robert Coppock, instrumental division. Each received an award of tive dollars from the sorority. The contest was open to high school students and is now establsihed as a memo- rial to Mrs. Agnes Falk, who was a member of the sorority. Because of her talent and interest in music the chapter oifers this tribute to her memory. The band contest for our division was held in Huntington April 14th. The Peru High School band of sixty-two members took part in this competition. After a day of playing and marching, honors for second division were given to Peru and Fort Wayne. ' In the soloist contest also held at Huntington, Peru High School entered ten con- testants. Jack Patterson won first place in the solo division playing an alto clarinet. Second honors in the woodwind division of this contest went to Jack Patterson, alto clarinet, Arthur Erb, B Hat clarinet, Edwin Price, E Hat clarinet, and Esteralyce Bolton, bass clarinet. In the Junior High School division Glen Smith placed first, playing a cornet. In the vocal and piano contest under the direction of Indiana University held at Fort Wayne, Peru High School entered three contestants, Esteralyce Bolton, Billy Devine and Elinor Sullivan. First honors in this contest were won by Esteralyce Bolton who participated in the State contest held at Bloomington. The music department deserves a great deal of credit for the splended record made in these contests in competition with other high schools of the state. i4Sl l-lobby Club Qtticers President MARIETTA ESSLINGER Vice-President CHARLES MAY Secretary JOE BLACKBURN Treasurer CHARLES RITZMAN l-lobby Club The Hobby Club was recently organized from members of the chemistry class. This club Was organized to study intimately the hobbies in which the members are interested. The first hobby studied was photography. The club was not long in discovering that this ancient art was quite complex but interesting. The club members have been learning to take pictures, develop and print them. Mixing of the developing chemicals as Well as the developing itself has proved to be quite a skill with some of the mem- bers. The taking of time exposures proved to be a Worthwhile experiment as only by experience can good time shots be taken. The club has proved to be quite an addition to our school. It is sponsored by Mr. Bittel. -l-lie Stamp Club Everyone has seen a stamp-on parcels, letters, and packages. To the common observer they are mere adhesive bits of paper, but there is a story behind each of them. On the common stamp, small as it is, there is to be found designing, color, Watermark, perforations, denomination, quality of adhesive gum, and, best of all, an interesting story about the subject depicted. This year because of a widespread interest in collecting stamps to discover some of these interesting stories the Peru Philatelists were organized. The club had as its objective to learn more about history through the study of stamps. There were about fifteen members. Meetings were held every three weeks and issues of United States stamps were discussed in detail. M9 TI-IE RODEQ Peru High School's twelfth annual rodeo was staged in the high school auditorium Friday night, April 13. The program was one of the best ever presented and the big crowd was given an enjoyable evening's entertainment. The main show Variety Plus, from the book, Nothing Minus, was very cleverly enacted by students of the school. Other features were ariel acts by the King Family and Trook and Dingman Comedy company. Miss June Brubaker, Clayton Black and Eber Moore were in charge of all features of the program. A high light of the rodeo was the crowning of the Rodeo Queen. Miss Helen Peterson with 2,685 votes, was crowned queen of the 1934 rodeo. Miss Martha Small was second with 2,400 and was named maid of honor for the ceremony over which James Phillips, president of the student body, presided. The money from the ticket sales is placed in the general fund of the school to buy equipment and the money obtained from the voting goes to the student council, which sponsored the rodeo queen contest. Mathematics Contest Each year a contest in mathematics is sponsored by Indiana University and par- ticipated in by the high schools of the State. Peru High School has entered this contest regularly for a number of years. During the year 1933-34 Jean Elvin and Stephen Holler showed such skill in geometry, Betty Stoops and Irene Anderson in algebra, that they were selected to represent Peru High School in the District Contest at Logansport. Although unable to win a place in the district contest these people are to be con- gratulated for the fine showing they made in being chosen to represent their school. The contest was sponsored by Miss Wilson, Miss Reed and Mr. Rufe. porter Qratoncal Contest An annual event of much interest in Peru High School is the Porter Oratorical Contest. This contest is sponsored by Mrs. K. C. Porter who contributes cash prizes of twenty-five, ten and five dollars to the winners of the first three places. The contest is open to all those who have had one semester of public speaking. The orations are committed and skill in delivery is the only criterion by which the selections of winners are made. In the 1934 contest there were fifteen contestants, each striving to outspeak his fourteen opponents. Such a contest creates a large amount of interest and is a valued experience to those taking part. Miss Galbreath had supervision of this contest. intramural Spelling Contest An intramural spelling contest under the supervision of Miss Wood and the Sec- ondary Council was held to determine the champion speller of the School. Each home room selected a representative for the contest and these were eliminated until only one, the champion, remained. Winners in this contest were Margaret Daly, first, Ferne Bowman, second, and Louise Brown, third. Ol ATHLETICS sweatshirts . . . endurance . . . speed - - - sportsmanship FOCTBALL J. C. LOVELESS A M Athletic Director In looking at the 1933 football season too much credit cannot be given Coach Loveless. Since coming to Peru five years ago, he has consistently turned out win- ning football teams. He has raised Peru High School from obscurity to the first division of Indiana football. This season a nucleus of six letterrnen was available, around which to build a team. By careful selection and training of recruits, he was able to round out a team that played like a group of veterans. The team hit its stride early in the season and were never really hindered until Old Man Winter took charge of the gridiron. Mr. Loveless was ably assisted in he training of the team by assistant Coach Justice. Many changes were made in the Tiger athletic field during the season. Many loads of dirt were necessary to properly level and drain the field. After this was ac- complished, grass seed was sown and the late summer rains produced a beautiful sward that was ideal for football. After arranging with the city park department for the use of their lights for the football season it was decided to play all home games at night. By this means many more people were permitted to enjoy the games and for the first time in recent years the season closed Without a financial deficit. At the beginning of the season the unusual enthusiasm displayed by the squad and community presaged a successful football year. The squad was the largest in years and started the practice season with a spirit that could not be quenched. This spirit increased as the season progressed, and was to no small degree a factor in the success of the team. l52l 4, ..

Although the Tigers claws were blunted once during the season, the Bengals proved to be one of the best teams in the state and commanded the fear and respect of all opponents. A big, hard charging line combined with an aggressive and shifty backfield, allow- ed the team to live up to the Tiger reputation. The Lovlessmen boasted a versatile offense. Added to the driving, running attack for which the team soon became known, they presented deceptive passing formations that were not solved by their opponents throughout the season. The Tiger line bore the brunt of the defensive play. Its hard tackling and vicious charging slowed the opponents offense to a point where their game soon was hopeless. In every game the Tigers outfought and outgained their opposition. In the first game of the season the Tigers crushed the veteran Rochester eleven, 12-0, and the following week turned back Cathedral, State Catholic champions, by the same score. In the third game the Tigers prey escaped. South Side High of Fort Wayne eluded them in a game which finally ended 20-13. Even in this game, however, the Tigers outgained their opponents in yardage and first downs. But for a bit of luck and the costly injury of Jim Phillips early in the game, the score probably would have been reversed. In the fourth game the Bengals had easy going. For the second time in the history of the two schools the ancient and much respected rival, Kokomo, was de- feated by the one-sided score of 26-2. By this time opposing coaches had begun to point their teams toward Peru. After coasting to a 7-0 victory over Warsaw in which numerous substitutes saw action the Tigers next turned in a thrilling victory over Huntington. The 13-6 score hardly describes the game. The Vikings scored early in the game and then settled down to protect their slim margin. Finally, however, a series of end runs, line bucks and passes over the line did the trick and the fans went home toying with another bloody scalp. . The following week Logansport, with an enviable record to maintain, accepted a 21-0 decision and the Tigers began to draw the notice of sports writers in the state newspapers. At last Peru was going somewhere in football. A scrappy Marion team took a 7-0 defeat and then came the Wabash battle. It was in this game that the Hi-Y Clubs of the two schools began the custom of giv- ing an engraved cup to the winner of athletic contests between the schools. For three quarters Wabash battled doggedly against the line thrusts and shifty runs of the Tiger backs. Then, weakened and outplayed, they bowed to the inevitable and were satisfied to hold the score 19-6. In the last game of the season the Tiger crew journeyed to Muncie to meet the undefeated crimson eleven. The teams were evenly matched and the field was soggy. However strategy won where brawn was ineffective. A touchdown by Peru from the first kick-off gave the Tigers a six point margin and after four quarters of charging, plunging, bruises and mud, the Bengals still held their 6-0 margin and victory. During the season the Lovelessmen gained 2,137 yards to 1, 215 for their oppon- ents, making an average of 213 yards per game for the Tigers to 121 for their op- ponents. The Tigers led their opponents in downs, 92 to 38, for an average of 9.2 per game to 3.8 for the opposition. Total points scored were, Peru 1373 Opponents 34. The season rounded out the careers of fourteen Seniors who will leave behind a record that will long be remembered. But one underclass letterman remains. Bob Johnson, the little giant, remains and Coach Loveless is at work grooming two men to fill the ghaes of each man graduating. There will be more football in 1934 at Peru High c ool. l53l THE TEAM Peru High School's Football Squad probably lost more stars by gradua- tion than ever before. Many of the gridiron stars of the class of '34 gained much recognition for their Alma Mater. CONRAD BALDWIN- many times went in and generaled the team to victory in the quarterback position. He called the game that beat Kokomo 26 to 2, and also when Peru drubbed the powerful Muncie team. ROGER CLYMER- 180 lb tackle had all his opponents groggy every game. Clymer made friends with his opponents but they never liked to play against him. On the varsity three years. RAYMOND GOOCH- a real pinch hitter who carried a wallop either at halfback or fullback. A willing worker who missed practice as few times in four years as any- one on the team. BOB JOHNSON- Peru found a reliable and very fast man in Bob. He is an excellent ball carrier and shifty runner. He will be with the team again next year. f' 1 M , ' , 4. ,,av5'44'Ix ' X' H, 'VJ' K uf V' Lf' ,f :X e, Qs, 3 BIG GEORGE JOHNSON- X the halfback that really could hit the boys with the pigskin. Every time George ran back to throw a pass the opponents knew there would be a forty-yard pass completed. JOE KELLEY- was a remarkable receiver on long passes. Johnson to Kelly became a common expression among fans. A hard blocker, a clever tackler, and his indomitable spirit made him the great end that he is. HERSCHEL KURZ- all state fullback, one of the hardest hitting that ever donned a football uniform. He weighed 190 lbs., and was a real veteran. Four years on , the varsity. S I x.. ' ,' X -'X ' - L X .- I ,.f , f if CAPTAIN ROBERT WATSON- Several newspaper men rated Watson one of the most effective tackles in the state because of his aggressive de- fensive play. Robert proved to be a real leader. The squad all held very high regard for Robert's leadership and his superior ability as a player. XVATSON, Capt. TONY MARINO- On the other side of the center was a boy by the name of Tony Marino. Tony was a real guard. He always was around when the other team dropped the ball. A real fighter and willing worker. JAMES PHILLIPS- who called signals, kicked and carried the ball enough to gain state rec- ognition and played a great part for P. H. S.'s standing in state gridiron circles. The high school and football squad will miss Jimmy and his fine work. He played three years o nthe varsity. 6 M . Qfwc CARL REDMON- turned out to be one of Peru's best guards. Many coaches rated him as one of the best they had played against. He played center three years and guard this year. CHARLES RITZMAN- A dependable reserve, a good trainer and willing worker. He could always be depended upon to relieve a regular and hold up his end of the game. BOB ROBERTSON- Who was the fellow in the center of the line making those tackles. Bob Robertson was the lad. A very steady passer,-he was a center that Peru football fans will long remember. BERTON WEBSTER- put terror into the hearts of opposing punters. To see Webster, evading the blockers and charging in, would hurry the best of punters. He was a veritable bulldog on both defense and offense. FRANCIS WILSON- played tackle and gave the boys all they wanted to handle. Wilson prov- ed to be one most important reserve. We hate to see such fine players graduate but are proud that Peru High School can lay claim to such star performers and above all boys who have proved themselves by being real gentlemen during their development. 56 BASKETBALL IQ33 - lQ3l-l- Following the very successful football season, attention at Peru High School was turned to Indiana's most popular winter sport, basketball. With only two lettermen remaining from last year's team, Coach Loveless, ably assisted by Mr. Justus, under- took to build a team to match the best in Indiana. The schedule was a tough one. Any team that could meet the schedule played by the Tigers and leave a creditable record must be classed among the best. As the season developed, it became apparent that the groundwork of fundamentals layed in previous years finally would begin to show. After a slow start the team began to show much improvement, and by the season's end the Tigers had accomplished their goal-a remarkably good season. Handicapped by lack of height and weight, the Bengal crew was forced to depend on speed, endurance and iight. A never-say-die spirit accounted for many a victory that seemed impossible to gain. Nothing but the final gun could stop that fight. The season without doubt, developed one of the speediest and scrappiest teams in all Tiger history The Bengals starter the season with a win over Windfall. Then followed a loss to Kokomo and a series of win and lose exchanges. For a number of games this seem- ing regularity continued. It was during this time, however, that the scene was being set for the finale. -A 21-10 loss to Logansport, 1934 State Champs, climaxed this series of losses and the team began to win. Again was heard the remark, Peru is Tough, Look Out for Peru. Well were those warnings sounded for by March first such outstanding aggregations as Marion, Bluffton, Alexandria, Washington of In- dianapolis, and Cathedral, National Catholic Champs, had found themselves ripped to pieces by the Tiger claws. In the sectional tournament the Tigers first did battle with the winner of the Miami County tournament, Butler Township. Always a slow starter, the team was unable to show a decisive victory until the final quarter. Then slowly the Tigers pull- ed ahead and the score ended 25-15 Peru. As the tournament progressed the Bengals began to show their power. They easily overcame Gilead and Clay Township and won their way to the finals. In the final game Chili, that had been the nemesis of other teams in the tourna- ment, weakened before the barrage of Tiger baskets and again we came through with a victory-Peru 50, Chili 21. After winning the sectional tournament the Tiger crew had high hopes of taking the Regional at Logansport. This tournament however turned out to be the toughest in the State. After two merry battles Logansport won and represented this region in the State tournament. Since they later became the State Champs for 1934 no lack of credit can be charged to our Tigers for their loss in this tournament . In the spirit shown by the school, in the morale of the team and in games won and lost the season was a success. A 1 . TI-IE PLAYERS EATON- Eaton was the defensive backbone of the team throughout the season. Not a heavy scorer, but his defensive work alone made him an important cog in the team machinery. Clean, yet a hard fighter, Eaton was held in high esteem by his opponents. KELLEY- The fastest man on the team was this forward. Joe's speed enabled him to elude his guard and break under the basket where he gained most of his points. Joe's driving in for the tip-off played a very important part in the winning of many games. His fakes and dribbles seemed to always mislead his bewildered opponents. MCGUIRK- Although being handicapped greatly by his size, Skeets proved to be one of Peru's best ball handlers. McGuirk was an uncanny defensive play- er and broke up many of his opponents plays. Skeeter could be counted on to do his share of the scoring, and always came through in the pinches. 7! PHILLIPS- Captain Phillips was one of the coolest players on the squad, besi ! being a shifty and fast floor worker, Jim was one of our best defensivygp forwards. High scorer on the team, netting most of his points from undgiq' the basket, Jim often tickled the draperies from a distance, too. f Jim was awarded a beautiful wrist watch, the Abso-Pure trophy for being the most valuable player on the team. VVATSON- Skinny's height, weight, and speed, made him extremely valuable to the team, both on defense and offense. Watson could always be found where the fray was the thickest. Watson's uncanny basket shooting pulled sev- eral games out of the fire in the last minutes of play. In following in shots as Well as on the tip-off Skinny was a classy performer. l 4 jf Tl-IE SEASON During the season of 1933-1934 the basketball team of Peru High School met the following teams.

MANAGERS ..........19 There is another side of the athletic department that is seldom considered or noticed by the casual individualg that of managers. The managers are divided among the different sports, there being a different man- ager and one or two assistant managers for each sport. The assistants move up each year with a senior usually occupying the post of manager. The job of managers is to take care of the equipment of their respective teams and keep it in good condition. The publicity manager keeps statistics on the seasons play and by means of charts helps the coach in discovering the strengths and weakness- es of the teams. If the work is well done a manager's letter is awarded to each manager at the end of the season. 583 Student Managers CHARLES KlNG RICHARD TZHITTON QEDNVAKD SMITH 0 COLE KEYES ROBERT TEMPLE TOM MOORE SAM CAPLE TRACK and FIELD IQ3l-L HARRY JUs'rUs, A. B. Assistant Coach - The track and field coaching for 1934 was in charge of Mr. Justus. A somewhat diiferent policy was followed in this sport than in other years. In- stead of centering the coaching attention on a few boys in an attempt to win places in the state meet, more attention was given to the whole group of boys. More than two hundred boys participated in this program. In a gigantic interclass meet that brought out hundreds of student spectators every boy in school was given an opportunity to compete. large number unseasonable The support High School. a total of 57 followed with 26 points. The Freshmen entered each event and put up a grand battle but were able to accumulate but 21 points for the meet. The day was sunny but a chill wind blew from the north that kept a indoors that otherwise would' have attended the meet. In spite of the weather many school patrons and prominent people attended the meet. given this affair surely proved the popularity of mass athletics in Peru The Seniors showed their superiority in this event by stacking up points. The Sophomores ran second best with 45 points and the Juniors Thirteen men were entered in the State Sectional track meet at Delphi: Warren Conrad, James Phillips, Joe Atkinson, Sam Caple, Bob Watson, Don Watson, Fred Kantzer, Omer Fisher, Burton Webster, Carl Redmon, Ray Engle, Bud Carlson, and Billy Mayberry. These men came through in true Tiger fashion, Carl Redmon winning third in the shot put and Bob Watson winning fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles. The other men gave their best in whatever event they were entered. At the Conference meet at Huntington again a team of galloping Tigers snarled and fought their way through tough competition to victory. The competition was of the keenest kind and only by hard training, practice and willing cooperation were the Bengals able to reach their enviable mark in this sport.

Herman was just one of the boys, but his heart beat faster as he stepped from the train, bag in hand, to see once more the scenes of his boyhood. With a shout of glee he sneaked up to old Zeke, the station agent, and clapped him on the back. Hello, Zeke! Hello, Herman, returned Zeke. Leavin' town ? Leaving town? Ilve been away for twenty years. I'm back to look over the changes. 1'Not many changes, mused Zeke, except that the Scroggins girls is finally all married, and Jimmy Brown ain't in town no more.

He'd seen the show under the big top, had been on all the rides and had drunk pink lemonade until he was blue in the face. He had money enough left for the side-show and lost no time going in to see that. He saw Sophia, the fattest woman aliveg Bimbo, the monkey-many Georgie Longdrink, the human skeleton, and all the other freaks, besides. Lem enjoyed every one of them, al- though it took the last cent he had. He'd cer- tainly been presented with enough chances dur- ing the afternoon to spend money. Too bad, thought Lem, there weren't a few chances to win some money. Well, the thought no sooner passed through Lem's head when he came upon Professor Abbledabble and His Army of Trained Fleas. And of all things the Professor was announcing that to anyone in the audience who could sug- gest a suitable name for his favorite flea he'd give fifty dollars in cash! Lem was positively surprised. Fifty dollars Y he exclaimed. Great Jump- ing Jupiter! The Professor rushed down to Lem. Take the money, my lad! +4- Muscleneck Bigchest, the wrestler, died by his own hand last week.

Son-in-law--Yes, and the farther she goes the happier it is. +4- Get this, young lady. Pm the backbone of my family. Then your family should see a chiro- practor! +4- You're wonderful, darling. What cou1dn't I do with a wife like you. Stay out nights. A FAST ONE A certain beach beauty went roadstering with a life guard.

He was a peaceful man by nature, and the more peace and quiet for him, the happier was he. But all good things, sooner or later, come to an end. Officer Hogan found that out when a woman, the biggest he'd ever seen, came thundering up to him. Officer! she declared, there's a man down the street who just flirted with me. And what do you want me to do about it? ascked Hogan, none too anxious to become in- volved. I want him taken away! But my dear lady, began the peace-loving cop, I can't call the patrol wagon for a man just because he fiirts. Patrol wagon? I don't want you to call the patrol wagon. 1 want you to call an am- bulance! -H- Do you think red-headed women have the worst tempers? No, my wife's temper is the same, no mat- ter what color her hair is. -H- Charley-Last night I had an awful pain in my arms. George-Who was she? A small girl asked her mother, If I grow up, will I have a husband like papa ? Yes, my dear, mother replied. And if I do not get married, will I be an old maid like Aunt Susan ? Yes, was the reply. The little girl thought for a minute, put her hands to her head, and said, Well, I am in a fix. 77 +4- A certain famous motor-car manufacturer advertised that he had put a car together in seven minutes. Next morning he was called on the phone and asked if it were so. '1Yes, he answered, Why? Oh, nothing, but I believe I got the car. -P+ A friend of mine released one of my hom- ing pigeons in San Francisco and it arrived in New York the very next day. l Impossible! Not at all. He hitch-hiked on an airplanef' +4- Little Jimmy to the old lady who had just arrived, and whom he has never seen beforej: So you're my grandmother, are you '? Old Lady: Yes, on your father's side. Jimmy: Well, you're on the wrong side, I'll tell you that right now.

Nothing like it, agreed Louie. You're apt to go nuts thinking only of ham and eggs, roast beef, corned beef and cabbage and that stuff all the time. Yes, there's a lot of other things in the world besides Spanish omelettes and baked beans and French fried potatoes. Love, for instance. 'tYou don't have to tell me that, said Louie. I know it. I'm a guy that's chuck full of sentiment. I wouldn't be surprised, Louie. Why, there are three little words, Gus, that mean everything to me. Absolutely everything ? Yes, sir.

I97fI A TALE OF THE HOUSE HUNTERS Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McScrapp, fed up on apartment life, spent the day looking at houses to buy. They searched from one end of town to the other, so, by the time they were ready to call it quits, they had a grand idea of just what was to be had and if so, why? Mr. McScrapp wasn't sorry when the search ended, because throughout it, Mrs. McScrapp, as was her custom, agreed with one half of one per cent of all that he had to say. Not that he had an awful lot to say. Oh, no. She took care of that. She loved to, did Mrs. Mc- Scrapp. Well, my dear, he suggested, we've seen about all the houses in town that are to be seen, now tell me which one you liked best of all. Which one did you like '? Possibly she thought her husband would mention the wrong one and give chance for further combat, but, surprisingly enough, he liked the same house which she had in mind. Oh, Pm glad you like that one, she en- thused. The view of the river is so grand it leaves me absolutely speechless! Great! he sighed. We'll buy it? +4- Half-I like a girl who can take a joke. Wit-Then you have a good chance of being l'll never forget when l proposed to my wife. I almost lost my nerve. What saved you ? Nothing saved me. I went ahead and pro- posed. +4- She-Did you settle your grievance with the manager? Were you able to reach his ear all right? A He-Yes, and I also let the mug have a couple on the chin! +4- Wifie-Haven't I beautiful lips, to say the least? Hubby-Yes, but you use them to say the most, my dear. +4- O'Solomon-Don't forget it, mugg. lt takes push to get anywhere. McSnoozle-So you bought a used car, too? +4- Wife-The upstairs neighbor's tub ran over this afternoon, dear. Hubby-What did she want to borrow? +4- Say, that girl the Jack is with looks like a good mixer. 1 Efverybod Enjoys ' It MESSMORE BROS.
