Peru High School parents, faculty, and students have responded cooperatively toward per- fecting these necessary changes. For this We are indeed grateful. As a school We have shared in the sacrifices and services.

Biggs, Miss Tereba, Sharp, Kuhn, learn how to cook. Because the male species have always claimed, A woman's place is in the home, some ot the girls in school have taken ad- vantage ot this fact and are catching up on their homework Under the guidance ot Miss Tereba, the Home Ec girls learn the duties ot everyday home lite. Cooking, sewing, and other neces- sary household jobs are practiced, some- times with good results, but sometimes, bad ones. The amateur housewives go about their work in the Home EC kitchen and sewing room with sincere earnestness. A tew ot the Home Ec students put into practice what they have learned by helping at the cafeteria during the noon hour. Passing through the industrial building during the third period, one hears the faint staccato ot telegraph keys and the talsetto shrieks ot a radio set. Iust this year Mr. Rector introduced elec- tricity into the curriculum ot Peru High School. Almost immediately atter the an- nouncement ot the new subject, many ot the PHS servicemen-to-be signed up tor the course, which dwells on the study ot the Morse code, telegraphy, radio and other topics of electrical importance. This course is planned so that it will be very helpful to all boys and girls, who want to join the armed service in some special division, such as radio, telegraphy, or other divisions devoted to the study ot electrical science. .2U. To O O O The colorful, merry, carefree, happy-go-lucky manner ot the Spanish people-the clicking of castanets, the sultry rhythm of a tango, the beat of rhumba drums, stories ot ancients guests for hid- den treasures, the lust ot greedy conguerors - excitement, adven- ture, and gaiety intrigue every Spanish student. Lucy Leslie and Paul McDougle seem to have caught the gist of it. Wilson, Beck, McCain, Kinney Peconge Mr Rector Grai Enyeart Chitturn Brittain iiEi5? f UE, , Studying and Learning . . . Hilgemon, B. Aspinwall, Briner, Mohler, G. Wecht, Mr. Hale, and Houser at work in machine shop. Mr. Hale's machine shop, busy everyday with boys whose future careers will dwell on industrial art of some type, is a school of learning in itself. The machine shop houses the teaching of the essential facts of the care and manage- ment of lathes, drill presses, and other ma- chines which are of great importance in the modern, stepped-up factories of a nation at war. The machine shop course enables nearly all of its students to acquire positions in factories almost immediately after gradu- ation, because these students have acquires! the fundamentals of machine knowledge. ln the PHS machine shop there is a com- plete variety of machines most used in pres- ent-day war work. The contact which the boys have with the machines allows them to put to work the training they have re- ceived from book study of machinery. . . . Working and Playing Good, Gaunt, Fisher, Stodgell, Kahre, study art. Miss Knudsorfs art cmd crafts students are the source of most ot the decorations, signs, and other art Work that must be done dur- ing the year's activities. Sketching, painting, drawing, modeling, sculpture, and crafts are among the many activities carried on in the art department. At every important occasion demanding advertisement or decorations, Miss Knud- son's art students are ready to Work, equip- ped with paint and brush, or cardboard and pins. An annual tradition of the art depart- ment is the painting oi the nativity scene on the Windows during the Christmas season. Beginning art students are struggling to learn the fundamentals oi art-color design and line symmetry, however, some ot the more ambitious pupils delve into ink com- positions, posters, printing, and minor por- traits. Oil painting has been chosen as the project for this year's advanced art classes. 66 War Has Put the 'Squeeze 'onM e, but As servicemen grows longer, We on the home front realize with in- tense seriousness the share We must do to help bear l the burden ot this nation at War.

Jo . . 1 ED, NUTTY, JUNE, FRANCEY This year Peru High School will say goodbye to one of the most out- standing classes it has ever had. This group has always been ahead in school affairs. Here are four reasons why it was in the lead this year. Reason No. l is the boy smiling so ardently at Frances Dorsam, senior class president Ed Mast. Ed is a devoted debater. His brains and ability make him a natural leader. Blair Nutty Nattkemper is reason No. 2 for the senior class's out- standing record. Blair was a journalist of no little ability as was evi- denced by his sports writing for the t'Peruvian and the Peru Tribune. Blair left school at the half-year mark to attend Notre Dame. lune Iackson as secretary has contributed her brains to the quartet to make herself reason No. 3. Iune has many accomplishments, such as membership in the Quill and Scroll, a saxophonist in the band, and being easy on the eyes. - The last reason, but certainly not least, is Treasurer Frances Dorsam. Frances is well-known for her unfailing good humor and contagious laugh. She deserves a huge vote of thanks for her faithful service to the bond booth where she has willingly slaved away for the past two years. SENIOR CLASS OF '44 BESSIE A.

Ann Hoclson, many a Peru High boy's ideal pin-up girl, is the pretty secretary. Many honors have been conferred upon Ann, for she Was chosen Victory Queen and an officer in her sophomore year.

MODY, TED, PAM, SMlTTY Well, Whom have we here? The sophomores. lt's true that they are undergraduates, but all the same, they've made a name for them- selves. These four people are no small reason why. President Bob Haskett Was the basketball star of the sophomore class. I-laskett started the year as a sub, but he was so good, the coach made him a regular. The lad seated in the car is Ted Coomler, vice-president. Ted may be class valedictorian for he has made a name for himself in speech, besides being freshie president last year. Pretty Pam Kahre is also a second-year man so far as class offices go. Pam is treasurer this year and held the same office last year. Charlotte Smith, leaning against the door, is probably the most vivacious girl of the class. Smitty holds down the secretarial office with her usual enthusiasm.

This has become a popular hang-out of the high school students after school and in the evenings. As you approach this playhouse you will hear sounds of dancing feet, bouncing ping pong balls, cheerful voices, and juke-box blues. On Senior Day students proudly marched up to f the stage to receive hard-earned awards presented under the Student Council points and awards sys- .LJ 1 ,Liu tem. ' Placed at strategic points throughout the build- ,V ' ings were monitors appointed by the council. Their job was to supervise students passing through the halls during the day. Meetings of the council were called to order by the president, Earl Calvin, and in his absence by the vice-president, Iosephine Wheeler. Minutes were read by the secretary, Ann I-lodson, and when ques- tions about parliarnentary procedure arose, the par- liamentarian, Tom Kent, quickly answered them. Mr. Earl Delph and Mr. Theodore Sprinkle ran inter- ference with the rest of the faculty for the council. Q. if -5 .4g. 'P' ' ' and Visit the lntelligentsiav At rostrum-Comerford.

This initia- tion is formally carried on by the officers of the club in a very impressive and serious ceremony. The forty members of the freshman boys' club elected Tom Easter to fill the office of president, while Earl Stevens was chosen to act as vice- president. Sonny Zimmerman was elected secretary to keep the club's records and activi- ties in order. The members cautiously chose Weldon Bin- kerd to Watch over the club treasury. Fred Massey took the position of sergeant-at-arms falias bouncer. l On the quieter, more serious side, Harold Houser was elected club chaplain. Mr. Oury was faculty sponsor. Houser, Binkerd, Stevens, Easter, Zimmerman, and F. Massey initiate Iones fkneelingl into Freshman Hi-Y. On April 26, each member of the Sophomore and Fresh- man Hi-Y escorted the girl of his dreams to the Best Girl Banquet, which was held at the Bearss Hotel.

The pep session Was built around a circus theme, with the opposing teams as the side-show freaks. The Minute- men limped through, swathed in bandages. The Bordermen were captured by the Peru Tigers Introduced by Bingrnaster Blair Nattkemper, the Bulldogs were led in on a leash. A circus band with bright coats and hats met the students at the door of the gym. In October the formal initiation ceremonies were held at the school, with light refresh- ments following the services. A note of war crept in as the annual Best Girl Banquet had to be changed to the Best Girl Picnic which went off in May. A great honor was bestowed upon the l-li-Y when Torn Landis was elected treas- urer for the entire Lafayette district. Last November l9 and 20 the lndiana Hi-Y's held the Older Boys' State Conference at Indianapolis. The conference was built on the theme, My Responsibility for Tomor- row, and all talks and discussions centered around that subject. Mr. E. C. Wolcott was the principal speaker. On Friday, discussion groups were held on the general interests of boys-racial relationship, post war jobs, boy-girl relations, and military service. On Saturday morning they had discussions on special l-li-Y problems. Francis Cauley, lack Comerford, Lewis Eldridge, Dave Levin, and Blair Nattkemper attended for the Senior l-li-Y.

Science Whizzes, Home Does your little brother have a chemistry set? Does he ever threaten to blow the house up? Perhaps the family doesn't know it, but he may be a future Edison or Goodyear. Urge him to join the Science club when he enters high school. ' This club is divided into three specific groups, according to the interests of the in- dividual. Research chemistry is the interest of one group, and to date many experiments with rubber have been performed. Maybe they will discover a new synthetic rubber. A motor bike is being built by the second group. They specialize in motors and test water-motors in their spare time. The third group may turn out to be radio specialists of the future. They learn the intricacies of radio sets and Morse code. These boys are under the supervision of Lewis Roberts. During meetings which are held home room period every Monday, the boys and girls experiment with various projects and discuss the different phases of science that pertain to war work. Ec Gals Help Uncle Sam Busy young homernakers have been con- centrating their Work upon the War effort. These girls helped sell the concessions at the Red Cross benefit game and made bed slip- pers for wounded servicemen. President Thelma Otiker, Alice Weideman, Lucille Hoos, and Norma Shewman repre- sented the club in Indianapolis on October 21 at the state club meeting. The girls went to lectures, meetings, and discussion groups which studied the problems of high school clubs. The club sponsored an auditorium featur- ing Miss Eleanor Braid, interior decorator, who gave a most interesting talk about the work of paint in the war.

Ann l-lodson and Don Petty Were crowned Miss Victory and Victory General at the Commercial Club Victory Dance, which climaxed the bond drive during which SlU,- 784.58 Worth of bonds and stamps were sold. For a week, sales mounted daily and ex- citement increased, at the end of the Week more than a hundred times the average Weekly amount had been sold in the PHS stamp booth. .57. Don Petty and Ann Hodson Demosthenes, Platos, Lincolns All This year, our third year of war, found the National Forensic League continuing its policy of community service, Red Cross work, and stamp buying. Members of the club gave programs for local service clubs, high school organiza- tions, and out-of-town societies. The ldlings of the King, a one-act play, and Meet Our Navy, a series of discussion topics, were presented before the student body during auditorium periods. Since the barriers of travel restrictions were lowered, NFL'ers attended inter-schol- tic tournaments at Marion, Wabash, Roches- ter, Rushville, and LaPorte. NFL debaters, orators, declaimers, and humorists found that the experience they gained at these meets was both entertaining and educa- tional. Members of NFL who composed the var- sity debate team were Mary Lou Tresch, Iudy Summers, affirmative, Eugene Wolf, Ed Mast, negative. The question for debate was: Resolved that the U. S. should join in re- constituting the League of Nations. The teams entered the Indiana State Debate League. Brightest of all underclassmen debaters were Don Trask and jerry Chamberlain, freshmen, and Ted Coomler and Glen Drechs- ler, sophomores. Peggy Applegate and Pat Roberts proved their worth as humorists. Under the chairmanship of Paul Mathis and Iohn Rees, speech contests for elementary and junior high schools were held. A clean-up program was inaugurated, at least it Was a clean-up program for room 210. Students decided that their NFL room needed to be redecorated. Mops, dust rags, and idle hands got busy. A bookcase and reference file were made, a trophy case was purchased, and pictures were hung. Work did not constitute the club's whole program, recreation played a part too. Pic- nics, informal jam sessions, holiday parties, and old-fashioned bull sessions were faith- fully attended and greatly enjoyed. The Parents' Party, which was held April 20 in the cafeteria, was introduced into the sched- ule of activities. Club projects were led by ludy Summers, president, Ted Coomler, vice-president, Mary Lou Tresch, secretary, Frances Dor- sam, treasurer, Pat Roberts, assistant secre- tary, and Mr. Ralph Lawson, faculty spon- sor.

Press Convention Every year Franklin College is host to a convention of all high school students interested in journalism. At this year's convention, which journalists of our school attended, ideas on school papers and year- books were swappedg and classes concerning various phases in journalism were held. An Associated Press reporter, a radio announcer, and other people associat- ed with journalism gave lectures. Many of the ideas gained at the convention were applied during the course of the year to the Peruvian and Narcissus. .5Q.

Blair Natt- kemper, master of ceremonies, his black-faced minstrels, and the glee club offered jolly songs and jokes in the gay musical comedy. V A truly hilarious point in the night's show was the Womanless Wedding. The charming bride, Mr. D. H. Boone, and bridegroom, Mr. Herschel Rector, were united in holy matrimony by Pastor Omer Fisher. The matron of honor, Mr. Noel Davis, was attired in an unusual two-piece model of lettuce- green tatteta. The bride was also at- tended by Mr. Ralph Lawson and Mr. less Dice, bridesmaids, and Mr. Theo- dore Sprinkle, flower girl. Mr. Clarence Oury and Mr. Stuart Guthrie sang the popular number, Pistol Packin' Ma- ma. Concluding the program was a dan- cing chorus of Paper Dolls.

At all the home football games the band performed intricate forma- tions for the entertainment of the spectators. Such performances as the formation of a huge flying fortress with the majorettes' batons for the propellers require long, gruel- ing hours of practice.

This went on until hardly anyone was left. lack Comerford stepped up to the platform and found that the great musicmaker's copy was upside down! ln Ianuary Mr. Iohn Ole Olsen came to Peru and was met by the band at the train.

B o b Miller Do you want to be an actress? Do you want your name in bright lights? Well, in this year's senior play, practically all of the cast had Hollywood intentions. The attractive maid cmd her publicity agent secretly planned for her discovery as a new star. ' The family's youngest daughter prepared tor her oh-so-sure discovery to play the part of a popular novel heroine. Boy friends attempted to foil the plans of the dazzled girl and to make her change her mind before the author of the talked-about, trouble-making novel arrived to choose his star. Presented on March 31, the senior play, Don't Take My Penny, written by Anne Coulter Martens, and coached by Mr. Ralph Lawson, thrilled a history-mak- ing, standing-room-only audience. Profit trom this sen- ior play, which also exceeded by far the amount ac- quired by any other school play, amounted to 3308. Row l-lames, Corbett, Ridenour, Lawver, Dorsam, Boxell, Calvin.

A prophetic, eccentric, old housekeeper who steals the show, washes it, Wrings it out, and hangs it up to dry. Trying to deceive the millionaire milkman into think- ing she is a maid, the rich daughter of a haughty, gold-digger mother, attempts to squirm out of a put-up marriage to a wealthy young man, whom she has to marry in order to save the tamily fortune. Such is the story of the junior play. This three-act comedy, Maid's Night Out, drama- tized by William Thorpe and directed by Mr. D. H.

A typical week in the Peruvian office, dispensing with all of the con- fusion and irregularity, might go something like this: Wednesday, a week and a half before the edition reaches the stu- dents, work is begun on the inside pages. Reporters hand in stories which were assigned them by the feature editor, Sallyann Ridenour. These stories are copy read and lino- typed.

The Cubby Hole and Basket Bawls were sports columns. Tuesday, three days before publi- cation, the outside pages are as- sembled and printed. Then work on the next issue begins again. This ceaseless routine is fun, although it takes a lot of hard work and long hours. Miss Ann Arnold was the new fac- ulty adviser for the Peruvian staff. Mr. D. H.

Pigskin Packers Coach Ferris, who left Peru in December to become an athletic director at Purdue University, in his second year here as head football coach encouraged and demanded all of the fighting spirit and endurance that was needed for a good football team. The Tigers gave their best, that's what we expected from them. Bengals won two out of nine football games. One was against our traditional rival, Logansport, and the other was against a highly heralded team from Kokomo, which outweighed our men over thirty pounds to the player. Mr. Schultz, the assistant coach, Charles Arnold and Dick Kile, the two managers, de- serve much credit for their Work with the team. Although many of the major men of the 44 team will have graduated this year, Iackson, cool-headed halfback, Catanzaro and Hagan, reliable end men, Smith, hard- playing guard, Lighty, quick-thinking quar- terback, Haskett and Brindle, powerful cen- ters, and Daniels, driving fullback, will carry on the PHS football tradition.

Kokomo Kats outweighed the Ben- gal squad over thirty pounds per man, yet the Tigers came through with a winning margin. Let's look behind the Bengal bleachers and sit in on a practice session-the every- day routine that builds up Pl-lS football en- thusiasts until they become top-notch play- ers. The Peru team files out of their modern dressing room on to a roomy and service- able practice field. Coach Ferris calls for ten laps around the one-fourth mile track. This practice is very essential in moulding powerful legs, which might well save the player on some future battlefield. Then the team is divided into two sections, the backfield and the line, for some arduous scrimmage. Mr. Ferris takes one section and Mr. Schultz takes the other. With Ferris and Schultz directing the plays you may be sure that the Tigers will learn the know how's of their positions and develop strong bodies by doing hard, muscle-building work. Ten more laps around the track, and the team files, or rather staggers, into the bright interior of the Bengal dressing room.

Each of these sea- soned senior players was chosen honorary captain for one game, and at the end of the season Bob Thrush and Bunky Briner were elected co-captains of the 44 team. Thrush, veteran left guard, was the mainstay of the left side of the line and an all-around blocker. Briner, powerhouse fullback, could be counted upon when the chips were down. Saine, rugged tackle, asked and gave no quarter as he was nearly always the player who stopped the other team's touchdown marches. Kreutzer, shrewd quarterback, always came through with the right play at just the right time. Lawrence, tower of strength at tackle, played a good brand of foot ball and really stopped the other fell Holland, lastof the famous Hol- lands, was a great halfback ,with pllenty of swivel-hipped run- ning ability. 1 I- X A llnlf lille , ,V .NJ lune Hunt, Bob Moon, and Betty Boxell lead our yells, Ioe Saine Bob Thrush Harold Briner To the cheer leaders, lune Hunt, Betty Boxell, Bob Moon, and Dave Levin, goes much of the credit for keeping up the team's spirit. lt's cheers that keep a team surging on. My Favorite Basket-Brawlersv Never before in the history of Peru ball clubs has Tommy Tiger showed such pluck and never die spirit as the Malaska men of 44 . The dauntless Tigs made folly of those who thought their handicap of lacking size would overcome their genuine teamwork and dazzling plays, which were a constant headache to the opponents throughout the net season. ln 44 Tommy Tiger had his share of joyous victories and, yes, defeats too. ln the season's first meet with the Berries-the score was contrary and the Gold and Black were defeated. But the startling new fast-break plays proved to be a moral salve and there was improvement throughout the sea- son's remainder. ln the second battle of the Tiger-Berry feud, the Berries found themselves trampled under a wilting barrage let loose on the nets by the Tiger quintet. Iackson became Logan's No. l enemy as the blond thunderbolt heaped the basket with flashy field goals. Do you remember the night when the Tipton boys of might and brawn invaded the sacred floor of the Bengal den and found themselves in a short time splattered over the hardwood? Possibly for excitement the Rochester game could be classified the worthiest without exception. Leonard Lawrence the team's only senior, bore the heaviest burden of scoring as the greater portion of the first five was forced to the bench through technicalities. l?asketball Coaches . . . Mr. Malaska and Mr. Schultz map out basket- ball plays. Basketball A Team . . . HardWooders Our new basketball coach, replacing Mr. Clare Holley, was Pat Malaska, who came to Peru this year from Martinsville, Indiana. Mr. Malaska brought in new plays, theories, and ideas to bright- en up the Bengal future as a winning ball club. Although he is to be inducted into the armed serv- ice this summer, we can be sure that the ball clubs of the future will profit greatly from his teachings. Mr. Ivan Schultz had charge of the B team during the year and set up a good record for the Tiger Cubs. Some of his boys showed their value to the A team as well as the B when they were sent in as substitutes in critical moments. If a team is to have the best of fighting enthusi- asm and that Bengal never-die spirit, there must always be a compelling force behind them. That force is the managers. An efficient manager is one who is first to every practice and works late into the night to see that the Peru hardwooders may have the best possible equipment. Those boys who could be seen slaving over the equipment were Earl Calvin, manager, and Glen Drechsler, assistant man- ager. Row 1-Lighty, Iackson, Lawrence, Wells.

The cubs have the spirit and bang of the varsity but are usually shoved into the corner until the county tourney comes into view, and then the hopes and sole power of the gold and black are invested in the Tiger Cubs. Coach Schultz, B team boss, is new at Peru but has found a place of respect in the hearts of every student at Peru High. He has often caused the tide of battle to turn by his quick thinking and clear de- cisions. The teams of tomorrow are the B teams of today. Therefore, we cannot overjudge the supreme part the B squad plays in the basketball season of the future. lf this is true we can count on a real line of winners in the next few years. The freshmen, Zimmerman and Hunt, have sure-fire promise. Smock, Poff and Mullett, have a prominent chance to slide into that first string. lf the boys of the B team play with straightfor- wardness and clear thinking next season, we should have an unbeatable combination. lt is true that the cubs had their share of defeats, but they marked them down as experience and applied what they had learned to the next game.

A new course of physical education had been mapped out to build up and harden the boys for future military careers. The lads faced it cheerfully with the philosophy that a few sore muscles now would save many a headache later on. Commando courses, setting-up exercises, rope climbing, running, wrestling, boxing, and hurdles gave the boys larger muscles and larger appetites. Mr. Wernz didn't spare them and consequently, they are bigger and better than ever before. ln collaboration with the educational pro- gram, a system of intramural basketball was introduced. The boys divided into teams, and the games were played off at noon. ROW l - Raclel Sprinkle, I. Goble Mr. Schultz. Row 2 - Miller hart, Thrush. Row 3 - Porter Engle, Daniels. .73.

As Americans We live in a land of freedom, freedom from Want, fear, and hunger, freedom from treatment as slaves, or as an inferior race of people. We have privileges and restrictions that help to make ours a more orderly, efficient government. At Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, this peaceful democracy was savagely attacked. This attack was aimed to abolish our rights and privileges, to endanger our security and happinessg to do away with our free nation. To preserve freedom a huge armed force has been built up. Men and women, boys and girls from all Walks of life make up this large force. As the war days pass by, more and more people are entering the armed services. Many Peru High students and graduates are now a part of this armada. The following is a list of men and women, who attended Peru High School since Pearl Harbor and are now serving in the armed forces: Boys From Peru High School Who Have Entered the Service Since Pearl Harbor OMER ALLBAUGH WILLIAM ALBERT FRANK APT RICHARD ARTHUR DICK ASHBAUGH IACK ASHBAUGH KENNETH ASHBROOKE WILLIAM ARLAND WILLIAM AUKERMAN ROBERT BANKS CHARLES BAUER CLARENCE BAUER RODNEY BAYLESS IAMES BERGER RICHARD BERGER DOMINIC BESSIGNANO CHARLES BIGGS ORVILLE BIGGS WALTER BOONE CHARLES BORNEMAN CHARLES BOWDEN TOM BOYLE DICK BREWER EDWARD BRINDLE RICHARD BRINDLE HAROLD BRINER HAROLD BULLICK RONALD BUNNELL CLIFFORD BYERS ALAN CARPENTER EUGENE CASSELL ROBERT CASE RONALD CAVANAUGH LEWIS CHALKLEY IAMES CHILDERS TED CHITTUM WILLIAM CLAWSON ROBERT CLAY ROBERT COGAN EARL COON IEAN COOPER ELDON COX DOUGLAS CUNNINGHAM TOM DAINE DICK DALY IOHN DAVIS EDWARD DEAL CHRISTI DICKOS RICHARD DORAN ROLAND DOUGLAS WILLIAM DOUGLAS ROBERT ELDRIDGE IAMES ENGLE PAUL ENGLISH .82.
