THEY PLAN FOR OUR SCHOOLS The Board of Trustees of the School City of Peru is made up of three meme bers, one elected each year by the Peru city council for a term ot three years beginning the first ot Hugust. Mr. Cunningham was elected to the Board in 1935, Mr. Hammond in l936, and Dr. Wagoner in l937. Miss Mc- Dowell has held the position of clerk for many years, and very ably handles the secretarial end ot the organization. The Board holds a meeting on a GLADYS McDOWELL W. A. HAMMOND W. A. CUNNINGHAM W. H. WAGONER Clerk President Secretary Treasurer regular date each month, and such additional meetings as are necessary to transact its business. Plmong the most important duties of the School Board are obtaining tunds for payment ot all expenses, providing buildings, equipment and supplies, and the employment of teachers and all other persons required for the operation of the schools. The members of the Board receive only small remuneration for the time and effort which they devote to school Work. Their payment is principally the consciousness of rendering an important service to their community, until QM, Y sissy if QOW 1-'ffiss Nellie Heed, Mr. D.

Tut, tut, that looks like a picture book Mr. Gil- bert is showing to Mr. Middlekauff, and would you believe that's Mrs. Challis telling Mr. Bateman what's what in this old world .... we too, are justly proud INTERVIEWING THE FACULTY of our Hrt Dep't., and Miss Vandiver ably takes care of it .... while Mr. Brown coaches our future stars in music .... Miss Clifton assists students in finding reference and recreational reading while in our school library ....

ITH THE IU IOR AT WORK AND OTHERWISE Next year's Seniors, or should we say this years luniors, are two hundred and titty in number and are led by President Bill Butfington, one of the year's illustrious football and basketball heroes. Bob Monahan, an intelligent young lad, who has taken part in both Pllgebra and Geometry contests, is class vice-president. Billy lackson, who, as Well as being class treasurer, shares honors with Martha Tyner in being class musician. Kate Cole, the only girl on the cabinet, is secretary. The class ot '39 is lucky in having besides Bill Buttington, Dick Harn and Eugene Gipson to carry on the football tame of P. H. S. The Late Christopher Bean, with Helen Meador and Charles Dunkinson in the leading parts was the class play this year and a very successful one at that. Evelyn Daniels, Billy Tillett, and Bob Monohan, did their share ot the talk- ing, and eloquently too, in being members ot the debate team. 260 ROW 1-Iackson, Iohns, Iones, Kader, Kantzer, Kennedy, Kenworthy, Kindig, King, Klotz, Knepp, Kurtz, Landgrave.

Wagner Warden, Welsh, Woods. Howard Shorty Stanfield did his share of talking at the top of his voice as one of those noisy yell leaders. Two members of the class, Frances Estep and David Harding shine, or perhaps it's better to say paint in the art department. Hmongst the clubs and contests the luniors have Martina Wagner as presi- dent of the Iunior L. R. club, and Virginia Hawley and Norma lean Petty as participants in the Danville Commercial Contest. ln the governmental end of the innermost workings of our fair school the class was represented by Billy Welch, Mary Margaret Maloney, and Phyllis Siler in the Student Council. To assist and advise the class officers and leaders, Miss Gray, Miss Hutton, and Mr. Long were the sponsors and advisers. Hnd last but not least in this review of the jolly Class of '39 we think of the Prom. It was the all-glorious affair of the year with the luniors enter- taining and honoring the Seniors with their quaint jests and toasts. Here's to the luniors, next year's Seniors, long may they stand united! 0 27 280 JUNICRS JUST PICTURE ME When jolly good fellows get together .... the Htkinson girls show us what sisterly love is .... two Chicagoans, Iohn Ledyard and lane Murphy, seem to like P.

PJLS 1940 RE O OUR AY Silly Sophomores and Sophisticated Seniors is the way it's always said. Of course, one wouldn't dare call the Seniors silly but the Sopho- mores rather enjoy being called Sophisticated. So here's to the Sophisticated Sophomores, class of l94O, who elected as their class officersejoan Cundiff, president, David Maloney, vice-president, Beulah Smith, secretary, and Marjorie Rothermel, treasurer. However, early in the semester joan moved to Kansas City, Kansas, and consequently the presidency of the class was entrusted to David Maloney. The two Sophomores elected to the Student Council are jimmy johnson, who is also a future Bobby jones on the P. H. H. golf team, and Thelma Wildman, who tickles the keys for old P. H. S. quite often. The Class of 4O is quite proud to have Donald Myers as president of the junior HivY, and Marjorie Rothermel as treasurer of the Senior L. R. club. 300 ROW l-Arbuckle, Ashbaugh, Beam, Beasy, Biddle, Blue, Bowman, Boyer, Butcher, Brindle, Butt, Carroll.

There are some good abstract thinkers in this class also, namely, Marietta Mast and David Maloney, who were participants in the Mathematics Contest held at Logansport this spring. Mary Io Dorsam represented the Sophomores' pulchritude as an attendant to this year's Rodeo Queen. Every class carries into the years ahead fond memories ot their class parties, and the Sophomore party never has to take a back seat because it Wasn't fun. The Sophomores play games and indulge in the national pas- time, dancing, and ot course, enjoy the refreshments. The Sophomore's sponsors, Mr. Rector, Miss Hrnold, Miss Brubaker, Miss l-lornish, Miss Reed, and Miss Vandivier, attempt to help them through their trials and tribulations and the parties too.

TRAILI G THE FRESHME Freshiel Freshiel Freshiel Do I really see green spots before my eyesl Don't mind, Ninth Graders, just remember that We were all Freshmen once, and that next year you can have your little joke, too. Despite the fact that the upperclassmen call you green, you certainly denied the color when you elected officers. Bobby Harn as president, Patty Mullins, vice-president, Hugh Mullins, secretary, and Zenol Moore as treas- urer, show fine judgment. Betty Hpplegate, the Freshman Student Council member, is a songstress that any class should be proud to claim. Billie Turner also has a fine voice and uses it to an advantage quite often. 340 1 1 Was green mentioned in describing the Freshmen? Well it just doesn't tit. Roberta Hnn Rabe represented P. H. S. in the County Latin Contest, first year division, and Mary Rothermel, LaVerne Hagan and Roselle Poll were con- testants in the algebra contest at Logansport. These Freshies and their sponsors, Miss Rupp, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Middlekaut, and Mr. Black, enjoy parties tooe-so much in fact that they hold two class parties a year, and are they keen! Coach McClure intends to keep an eye on Iimrny Butfington, Dick Kelly, and Victor Spitznagle, who are on the Freshmen football squad this year. P. I-l. S. is Wishing for the best of everything tor these Freshies. 035 ROW l-O. Iohnson, Iones, Kennedy, Kilian, Kirnple, Kranskoff, Laudenschlager, Little, Marburger, E. Maverick, I. Maverick, F.

This was the cry ot all, especially the editor and sponsors who Worked and slaved many long hours to put out this year book, which, We all hope will be one ot the best Narcissus ot Dear Old P. H. S. One which can be kept, cherished, and leated through in later years when all we have to do is sit by the tire and spin. The group which made up the staff seldom met as a Whole, yet each per- son worked his hardest separately, and piece by piece the book has been put together. lt's not a simple task to be on the statt. You have to Work and work hard, there is always a mad rush betore the dummy is sent to the printer, yet a lot ot fun is had by all, and no one can honestly say he was ever sorry to serve and help edit the annual. We Wish to take this opportunity to offer all We have, our thanks and appreciation to the merchants of Peru and everyone else who helped in the completion of this l938 Narcissus, and We sincerely hope it will meet the re- quirements of all.

PRESE TING OUR SCHOOL PAPER THE PERUVIANH When you hear the merry Click of typewriters, the noise of the press, and when the smell of printers' ink comes to your nostrils, what do you think of? The Peruvian, of course. This official school paper is issued once a week by the journalism class and the printing department of P. H. S. Hlthough the real purpose in editing the paper is not that of making money, the Peruvian always comes out ahead when the finances are checked at the end of the year. The real purpose is to entertain, inform, and interest the student body and faculty members. The Peruvian is affiliated with the lndiana High School Press Plssociation, and the Quill and Scroll Society, an international honorary organization of journalists. Last year the Peruvian received International Second Place Qward in the Quill and Scroll Contest. In the last few years the Peruvian has purchased a printing press, a type- writer, printing type, and a file case. ln addition to that they contributed a large sum to the general fund a few years ago. P. H. S. has a right to be proud of its school paper. THE STAFFITES FIRST SEMESTER Editor-in-Chief , . . .

This group has Worked hard to insure fairness in all school elections con- ducted by it. lt has been able to prevent congestion and disturbances in the halls with its fine monitor system. Next year the rooms and lockers Will be renumbered as a result of the recommendations by the Student Council. They have also fostered the idea of orientation of freshmen boys at the be- ginning of each semester so that the new groups will be better fitted to meet demands of the high school. The Student Council has charge of the Citizenship Hward which is in the form of a silver plaque. The names of the senior boy and girl Who rank first in scholarship, character, and service to the school are engraved on the plaque for a permanent record.

WORTHWHILE IDEALS The emblem of the National Honor Society is the keystone and the flaming torch. lt stands for Service, Leadership, Character, Scholarship-all worth- while ideals. Because of its high standards, membership in the organization is limited. The student must excel in not only one line of endeavor, he must meet and maintain the ideals of all four of the cardinal principles. He must render serv- ice to his school, to his friends, to his country, and to God. l-le must show traits of character not only in school, but at all times. I-le must be able to point the Way for others to follow. Hs a leader, he must be able to take com- mand and to guide others on to higher and better things. l-le must love learn- ing for its own sake, since education ends only with life. The new members are chosen by the faculty and their names kept secret until the installation service. The annual service was held on February l6 of this year. Ht this time ten new members were revealed before the student body. This select group is to be commended for attaining the high standards of the society. Truthful application of its ideals will enable them to become the better citizens of future years.

This play featured western ranch life near Cody, Wyoming. The comedy was chock full oi amusing situations which got the characters in all sorts of trouble. Tom Martin, as Roy Chadwick, made a hit with the audience in his in- imitable characterization of a Iewish theatrical agent. Bettie Lea Riggle, as Iane Hardy, the cow-girl, iell in love with Elly Ior- dan, Dale Love, a New Yorky sort oi person with a ridiculous tear of animals. The plot centered around the mistake Chadwick made when he thought Elly was a genuine cowboy and took him to New York to be in the movies.

Bean, a painter, died in a small New England village leaving only a few dirty paintings to pay the doctor for his efforts. H friend came later, paid the bill, and took a picture as a memento. Later another friend came on a similar mission. Hll were amazed when a great New York art critic came to pay tribute to the deceased. The action of the play centered around the mad scramble to gather up all of Bean's old paintings. lt was a huge success due to the faithful work of the cast, Mr. Black, and the sponsors, Miss Gray, Miss Hutton, Miss Stutesman, and Mr. Gilbert.

Music, capable of so moving an audience, is being consistently produced by our own Peru High School Band and Orchestra under the lead- ership of Mr. Carter Brown. The band has an enrollment of 60 members this season. The band has been very active this year, playing in many high school auditoriums and pep sessions, and attending nearly every football game. The organization distinguished itself in marching formations and was instru- mental in creating and maintaining a fine school spirit. Twirling the baton, Elton Kantzer proved himself indispensable to the gen- eral parade effect. Spectators at basketball games were pleasantly impressed by the original colored light display. Pls a special feature this year, the band gave a concert at the Roxy Theater, completing the payment on their uniforms. The members journeyed to the Band Clinic at North Manchester and were generally conceded as giving the best performance there. They also plan to go to Goshen this season. The Indiana University Band was brought here under the sponsorship of our local organization and was enjoyed by students and the public alike. The band members are to be commended for attaining their present high rating, it is one thing to listen to concerts, but to participate requires long hours of practice. The band was organized with the following officers: captain, Billy jackson, secretary, Erma Mullins, drum major, Ted Duncan, color guard, Dale Love, Bill Edson, Roderick Brough, Paul Madary, john O'Connor, Director, Mr. Car- ter M.

The season was not filled with empty victories. Each game was both a lesson and a thrill to the team and spectators. McClure saw possibilities in the members of the team in their junior-high and freshman years, and started developing them into an invincible group with courage and fight to win. I was not surprised that the team came through as it did, said the Tiger coach. They trained hard to become the fast, hard-hitting, manoeuverable team that they were. This group has earned a name for itself in Peru High School. COACH MCCLURE HND NOW H BRIEF REVIEW OF THE SEHSON: The opening game of the season, scheduled with Decatur, was postponed until the following day because of rain. McClure showed his strategy by running practically the entire squad to give them experience. That Decatur was no match for the Tigers, is shown by the lop-sided score-32-U. Next in line was St. Hedwige of South Bend. The Tigers quickly put the Saints on the defensive, scoring in every quarter. The final score-58-0. Still travelingl The following week, Kokomo suffered defeat to the tune of 30-0. Holland and Buffington were outstanding players in this game. The McCluremen overcame South Side of Fort Wayne in an action-packed game the following Week. South Side had a good passing system, but were unable to smash through the solid wall of the Tiger line. Peru did its scoring in the first and fourth quarter. The score, Peru-20 and South Side-O. ln the first Conference tilt of the season, the Tigers defeated Huntington in what was probably the best game up to that time. The Vikings were unable to halt the Tiger offensive, the game ending 47-U. Styled as the Peru Home-Coming game, thousands saw the Logansport Red Devils crushed by the onrushing Tiger jugernaut with a score of 58-O. The second conference game was with the crack Wabash team. The Hpaches held Peru scoreless until the last quarter, when, inspired by Mads fighting spirit, the Tigers rallied to sink Wabash, 19-O. ln the third conference game and the last home game of the season, the invincible McClure-men rolled on to smear Elwood, l3-U. The following week, Peru invaded Warsaw to clinch the Central Indiana Conference Title by defeating them, 34-6. ln this thrill-a-minute game, the Tigers were scored upon for the first time in the season.

Without a doubt, the most talked about and most evenly matched game was the famous Peru-Urbana game at Urbana. This game, billed as the Prep-Championship of the Middle-West, was broadcast, play by play to the Tiger fans at the Bengal gymnasium. The triumphant Tigers finished their greatest season by polishing off the Urbana team for their first loss in two years. Peru placed six grid-men on the H11-Conference team. Kelley, Wilson, Hol- ton, Buffington, Castell, and Stodgell, watch these boys-they'll go places. Peru showed its appreciation and loyalty to the Tiger men at the Victory Banquet, held shortly after the close of the season. The main speaker was Wendell Wilson, athletic director at the University of lllinois. l-le praised the team's aggressiveness and superior ability predicting brilliant football careers for its members and coach. 1 The graduating seniors leave the underclassmen a challenge: Can you repeat our record? The student body thinks you can and is willing to back you to the limit. Tigers, Let's Gol X 055 560 THE BASKETEl Y BUFFINGTON BURKE CARY GIPSON GRUND HARN BILL BUFFINGTON. Buff played substitute guard. Not being a spectacular player, Buff let the other fellow do the scoring, but he always was in the thick of the battle. Buff will be back next year. SCOTT BURKE. Scott was another B team boy brought up to the varsity for his good playing. He played substitute forward, and although this was his first year, he was remarkably cool on the floor. Scott will be back for a couple more years. IAMES CARY. lim played varsity in early season and was captain of the team. He didn't score much but was a good defensive player. He will be lost by graduation. EUGENE GIPSON. Iiggs was the second of the blond forwards and was the ballhawk of the team. Iiggs was a greater defensive player than offen- sive, but gained a good part of the team's points. He is the only man on the first five who will be back next year. IIMMIE GRUND. Iimmie played his last game fc-r P. H. S. this year. He was one of the blond for- wards who put plenty of fight in the team. Iimmie didn't become an offensive player until towards the end of the season, but he made a higher per- centage of the team's points from then on. DICK HARN. Because of Dick's performance in the B team tourney, he was moved up to the varsity. Dick was a cool player and fought hard. He will be back next year. IS IN ACTION KELLEY MILLER WENDT WILSON BILL KELLEY. Streaky has played four years on the varsity squad cmd his absence next year will be felt. Streaky's experience, clever ball handl- ing, great defensive work, and consistent scoring made him invaluable to the team. He played center. BOB MILLER. Bob was another substitute and a clever ball handler. Not many opponents could break up his dribble or block one of his passes. This is Bobs last year also. IUNIOR PENCE. lunior was the other guard on the team and played a good defensive and offen- sive game. lunior was almost a dead shot just outside the foul line. He established his game when he almost burnt up the baskets at Kokomo with long shots from the center of the floor. Iunior is another player who graduates this year. l PENCE WOOD IOHN WENDT. Long Iol'm was another tall boy and was usually the first man down the floor on fast breaks. He made many baskets because of this alertness, and pulled one game out of the fire by placing two free throws in the last minutes. This is Iohn's last year. BOB WILSON. Bob was a substitute, but his clever ball handling made him look like a veteran. Bob played a cool game and when the boys got ex- cited he always told them to settle down. Bob graduates this year also. LOWELL WOOD. Big Boy Wood was the tall boy on the team. This was Wood's first year of varsity play and with another year of experience he would have developed into a great ball player, but unfortunately for the team he graduates this year. Wood played guard. 057 'ir un A Ag 43 A TEAM ROW 1-Pence, Gipson, Wood, Kelley, Grund. ROW 2-Miller, Wendt, Burke, Wilson, Butfington. ROW 3-Coach McClure, Cary, Harn. OUR POTE T VAR ITY SQUAD After an undefeated football schedule, McClure turned to his first full season as basket- ball coach. The team this year met with mild success, winning thirteen and losing nine, however some of these victories were over very strong teams. Mac used a total of fifteen men on the varsity before he found his regular ten. Of these fifteen players, eleven will graduate. With only a few days practice the team easily won over Clay in the opening game of the season. The next week the Tigers journeyed to Kokomo and were beaten by only two points. Since Kokomo was supposedly one of the strong state teams, this defeat was not very dis- heartening, and it was thought that with a few weeks practice the Tigers would become strong contenders for some state honors. These hopes were somewhat diminished when the team eked out a victory over a Weak Central Catholic fFort Waynel team. In the next five games, they won three, two of the victories being close ones over North Side fljort Waynel and Waite High fToledoD. In the next two games the Tigers showed poor form and as a result lost by heavy scores. After leading a Logansport crew through practically the whole game, the Tigers lost it in the last few minutes of play. A few days later the team took revenge for an earlier season defeat by beating Rochester 22 to 20. The following week they lost to Delphi after leading them by an almost doubled score at the half-time period. The next two games were easy won and the team wound up the season against Warsaw with the best show of form all year. The Tiger record was as follows: Peru, 34, Clay, Il. Peru 24, Rochester, 43.

The crowning achievement of the season Was the Win- ning of the county tournament at Bunker Hill. For their feat they were pre- sented With a handsome trophy, the first to be won by a Peru B team for a good many years. They entered a B team tournament at Logansport only to be beaten by Logan in the finals, however, they came back later in the season and cle- cisively beat Logan. These boys will bear watching next year as there is a lot of good material in this team. The school is proud of this group and their coach, Mr. Middlekauff, due to their excellent record. 059 GOLF TEAM ROW l-Iohnson, Hall. ROW Z-Edson, Stodgell, Love. 600 RACQUETS, CLUBS, AND WINGED HEELS The tennis team this year did not fare so well. Because of bad weather and lack of experience and practice they were unable to win but one match, that of Wabash, while losing four matches to Rochester, Kokomo, and Huntington. .... Mainstays of the team were Iohn and lunior Weeks, lim Cary, Charles Keyes, and Huey Lawrence. The team was coached by Mr. Middlekauff. Hn extensive program is proposed for next years' team according to Mr. Middlekauff. The program for next years' team is matches with Kokomo, Rochester, Wabash, and Huntington, and Mr. Middlekauff is expecting great things from his boys. The 1937 track team did not fall under Lady Luck's favor according to Mr. McClure's standards. The team was composed of four seniors and ten underclassmen. The seniors were as follows: loe Qtkinson, Ioe Shanahan, Frances Coyle, Cliff Iordan, and Newton Gaiser, while the underclassmen included such future stars as Big Bill Kelly, Bob Miller, Bill Buffington, and Maynard Thurston, and a few others. They had a short schedule with only two meets. These were the confer- ence meet at Warsaw in which Peru placed third, while the other was the sectional meet at Lafayette where Peru placed third again. In this meet Hlberts and Buffington qualified for the state meet at Indianapolis. Next year McClure expects to have a well-balanced team-Kelly, Miller, Thurs- ton, Buffington, and several others. The golf team coached by Mr. Bateman had a highly successful season. The team won matches with Rochester, Huntington, Tipton. They lost to Ko- komo. .... Members of the team were: Ioe Shanahan, Iunior Groat, Mark Boone, Dick Wheeler, Dale Love, Devere Dawald, Bob Redmon, Ioe Higgs, Bob Stodgell, and Bill Holton, of whom Shanahan, Groat, Boone, and Wheeler were seniors. .... Returning members who will be greatly needed are Love, Edson, Higgs, Stodgell, and Bill Holton. The schedule as made out by Mr. Bateman calls for matches with Kokomo, Huntington, Rochester, and Tipton, as well as an invitational tourney and the Central Indiana Conference tourney. In the in- vitational tourney, teams from surrounding towns and cities will compete while in the conference tourney just members of the Central Indiana Con- ference of which Peru is a member, will compete.
