Freshies, Sophs Wide-Eyed and Curious Freshman Class Officers Will We ever torget that tirst week when We wonderingly took in everything and learned to tind our way around in halls tilled with unfamiliar faces? Then suddenly We had elected our olficers, Mary Keyes, treas- urer, Nancy Thrush, secretary, Charles Buckalew, presidentg and Ruth Schrader, vice-presi- dent, and were iast becoming an integral part of lite at Peru High. Sophomore Class Officers We- sophomores were truly sandwiched betwixt and loe- tweeng We were too old to claim innocence and too young to claim experience. We liked our happy, middle state. During our class elections We chose Inger Wold as secretary, Dick McEl- heny as treasurer, Ray Nix as Vice-president, and Iirn Iohnson as president to lead us conti- dently through this school year.

First suggested by the class of '49, the spots were par- tially their gift to the school. Since the cost was so great, last years Rodeo profit was used to help pay for the spots, and the school board contributed the balance. These spotlights were operated by a backstage dimmer. Throughout the show they shone from dim shade to full brilliance of each color, according to the mood desired for the various scenes. Featuring a cast of l89 students, the variety show was under the direction of Mr. Iames Hawker, Mr, lames Noble, Miss Mildred Shideler, and Mr. Hal Kesler, with David lordan as student director. lnstead of a main theme, this year's Rodeo was based on four separate and unrelated themes. Three of these, Hillbilly, Moon cmd Stars, and Springtime. contained mostly singing, while the fourth one en- titled Around the World, featured dancing. Transitional scenes in front of the curtains enabled the stage crew to change the props for each of the big scenes. 45 4 Queen Madonna Petterson poses in front of her Rodeo court of seven girls. Left to right, they are Nancy Deisch, Pat Sagester, Mary Keyes, Carolyn Petterson, lane Bussard, Kay Doerr, and Inger Wold. Resting briefly from the rigors of staging the annual Rodeo, the di- rectors cheerfully pose. Mr, Hal Kes- ler, Miss Mildred Shideler, and stu- dent director, David Iordan, are in row one. Mr. lames Hawker, head director, and Mr, Iames Noble are in row two. Accompanists for the show were Ruth l-lartleroad and Carole Phillabaum. The stage crew consisted of Gene Ralstin, manager, lohn l-lemdal, Torn Woot- en, Bob Wittig, Larry Goble, LeRoy Arnold, Dennis Arnold, Richard Calvin, Dick McNary, Bob Appleton, and Iirn Alwine. Success was shown by the large crowds attending both Thursday and Fri- day nights, as Well as the 3726.74 net profit received. All those in the cast, the directors, those attending, and those vital people behind the scenes should take full credit for this student production.

Band Practices Fancy Formations Band Members Travel Forwardl Marchl The Whistle blows and seventyfnine pairs of legs march down the field as the Peru High School band once more en- ters its marching season. Having proved its ability in marching and formation work, the band received its second invitation to perform at Butler university. Eight high school bands participated in the half time program of the ButlerfMiami football game which was held in the Butler stadium, October Zl. To the strains of f'America the Beautiful the Peru band spelled out HU. S. A. Prom this formation they immediately formed a large banner while they played UStars and Stripes Forever. November l8, the band once more traveled, this time to lndiana university where as one of ll3 bands they formed a massed band of 5,498 students during the half time of the Indiana- Marauette football game, Band Officers lnformality is prevalent as the band officers gather in Mr. Nobles office to dis- cuss improvements.

Row 3: Rufe, Wray, Mughrnaw, Baker, Ralstin Row 4: Mathis, Harris, Greer, Mills, Carpenter Under the directorship of lames Noble and with the aid of student officers, the band per- formed in the music departments Christmas concert, December 13. Dan Mooney and Glenn Oury were chosen by their fellow students to head the band in the capacity of band captain and student di- rector, respectively. The extensive library of the band was cared for by librarian Helen Cunningham. Her assis- tant, Dick Thompson, held the honorary posi- tion of being the only non-senior officer in the band. To inspect uniforms and instruments was the job of first lieutenant Philip Carpenter and guartermaster Mary lane Wylie. After weeks of practicing and reconditioning drills, the band ventured forth to attend the Pour-Way Music Festival in Logansport, May 5. Here the bands from Marion, Kokomo, Logans- port, and Peru joined in a downtown parade during the afternoon and a massed band con- cert in the evening. Each year outstanding members of the music department are given numerous awards. ln memory of Robert Scott, a member of the l948 band who was accidentally electrocuted in a home fire, each year the name of a senior boy is engraved on a memorial plague which hangs in the music department office. The qualifica- tions for the award are service, attentiveness, loyalty, and promptness. For outstanding musicianship, a senior boy or girl receives the National Foundation Arion Award. This award is sponsored by the Peru Kiwanis club. Band Row 1: Dewart, Hartleroad, Miller, Overmyer, Shel- burn, Wold, Ruble, Hayes, Fiser, Reece.

Music Clubs Have Ioint Meetings Tuesday meetings ol the Music club alternated between two organizations, the freshman-sophomore and the junior-senior clubs. Both clubs elected separate officers lor the year. Mr. Iarres Noble, music department director, was adviser lor both groups. Besides publicizing the Christmas concert, December l3, some ot the club members also served as ushers. Altogether, the advanced choir, orchestra, and band presented this annual free program to the townspeople as a so- called Christmas present. Sixty-tive candidates were initiated into both clubs. Glenn Oury wrote the script for the ceremony. lnitiates were required to wear gold and black leath- ers as a symbol ot their new membership. At the initiation service, a quartet ot four boys, Charles Mathis, Victor Tully, Glenn Oury, and Dick Smith, sang several songs. Cn November 7, Mr. Charles Munger ot the lordan College of Music spoke about that school at a joint meeting ot the clubs. Several times throughout the year, comedy films were on the agenda. Sponsoring a pep rally before the Fort Wayne Central game, Victor Tully, Dick Smith, Glenn Oury, Bob Wray, Inger Wold, Rosemae Neher, loyce Gross, Ruth Sullivan, Pat Overmyer, lane Bussard, and Mary lane Wylie worked out the theme and plan ol the program, Eligibility for club membership was based on past participation in the club and active membership in some phase of the PHS music program, Officers of the two clubs formed a membership committee to check the qualifications of candidates to each club, Over 61 students were in the junior-senior group, and there were 55 in the freshman-sophomore club. Operetta tickets for 'The Pirates ot Penzance were distributed among the members to be sold by them. Close cooperation with the Music Parents Association assured success in all this years projects. After the final operetta presentation, March 9, the Music Parents gave an Opera Hopi' for the students, complete with refreshments for the cast, Officers of the junior-senior group were Victor Tully, president, Dick Smith, vice-president, lane Bussard, secretary, Bob Wray, treasurer, Glenn Oury, sergeant-at-arms, and Mary lane Wylie, program chairman.

A Y Life Is A Busy Life For the initial program ot the Y-Teens groups, a candlelight recognition ceremony for the new members was conducted October l9, in the new gym by the senior group and their sponsor, Miss Helen Brundage. Both groups planned cheer projects tor the year. On December 20, a carol- ing program was presented at Dukes Memorial hospital, under the direction ot Miss Ina I-lornish, sponsor ot the junior group. Crippled children ot the com- munity were selected by the senior group to receive gifts of cheer on Valen- tine's day. A pep session December 8, a come-as-yau-are party November 21, and the annual teacher appreciation party in May were outstanding social events of the year. Mrs, Vera Rayl of the Dairy Council, Kokomo, presented a series of three programs on nutrition tor the girls on lanuary 29, February 5, and February 19. Films on nursing, selected by the school nurse, were viewed at two spring meetings. Science Club - --. wil , - I Row 1: Hr Zire ' 'f'f. f' Herrcc, Eecri Cfciie..

Donovan Heads Football Staff Football strategy is discussed by coaches Dick Don- ovan and Paul Bienz, kneeling, while coaches Paul Ploss Cyril Hall, cmd Phil Ortwein listen attentively. Snappy routines. flashy uniforms. and dazzling smiles accentuated Bengal field as the eight Tigerettes took over during halftime to delight the spectators with their marching routines, Reading crosswise they are Mary Keyes, loan Schwartz, and Kay Doerr in row l, and loyce Hosman, Anna Mae Barron, lane Bussard, Susan Landgrave, and Norma Wilson in the back row. Many hours were spent by the student managers, Lewis Gaunt, Bill DeHaven, Dick Hatfield, Pat Monahan, and David Allmann, keeping the football equipment in condition. The will to win governs success in all sports. Without a winning attitude, no team, prep, college or professional, can play a winning game. Along with the desire to conquer, an athletic team must also have talent. The Peru High School varsity football eleven certainly had plenty of the latter throughout the entire l95O gridiron campaign, but for some reason lacked the former during the first half of the schedule. Head Coach Dick Donovan, in his first year as varsity leader, barely missed opening the season as the mentor of a winning ball club, as his Bengal forces, busier chasing butterflies than opponents, were downed by one point by Kokomo. The Tigers dropped their next three contests in a row by overwhelming scores to Logansport, Hartford City, and Plymouth. Then came a change, temporary as it was, which completely delighted the loyal fans. The gold-and-black tide of uncertainty, after trail- ing in the first half, squeezed past little Monti- cello, the eventual cellar-dweller of the Central Indiana Conference, for their first victory of the season. This exciting conquest was short-lived, how- ever, as the same old padded Tigs continued their losing ways by dropping the next ball game to Wabash. Suddenly, as if tired ot it all, the Bengal cleaters, low in the league standings, became the most fearsome eleven Chumin ' Steve Rothermel prepares to hit the turf Zmg pass calls Pat Redmon quarterback th as he is tackled low during a scrimmage practice at varsity team run through a team pra tice alt r school in the CIC.

Varsity Ends Season With 4-5 Record Efficient first aid is given to lim Doerr by trainer, lack Foster. All the aches and pains of the football boys re- ceived careful attention from Foster. Stars Sparked Team At the beginning of the year, it looked as if the Donovan-rnen were going to have one of their few winning seasons. Frorn end to end, in the line, the Bengals were big, fast, and rug- ged. lack Lowe and Ralph Finicle, both under- classmen, served as pass receivers for quarter- back Pat Bedmon, and patrolled the end posts. Bud Griggs, 205-pound tackle, and Harry Beard, 190-pounder who served at the same position, were as resistance-proof as any ot their opponents. lack McKenzie, Don Karowsky, lohnny Boyer, Dean Hadsell, Dale Catey, and David Carswell switched back and forth in the guard positions. McKenzie and Boyer were especially rough on defense. lunior lim Doerr held down the cen- ter position, with occasional aid from lohn Hil- geman, Stanley Scott, sophomore end, and lack Shelburn, 240-pound tackle, who saw plenty of action in the line. Churnin' Steve Rothermel was an offensive standout at fullback and second in the team scoring to Lowe who reeled off several touch- downs on end-around plays. Bill I-liers and Bub Foy did most of the haltback chores, al- though they received much help from Bay Nix, Iim Spencer, who contributed a good ground- gaining average, Dan O'Connell, and Neil De- Puy. Bill Forshee saw limited action at quarter- back. F reshies Win One Game The first step on the staircase leading to var- sity football in high school is, of course, labeled frosh. This year's greenie team, coached by Mr. Paul Bienz, defeated only one of four teams on its schedule-Marion. The score in that con- test Was 25 to O, While in the others, it was Ko- komo over Peru 7 to 6, on October 2, Wabash, 27 to 7, on October l6, and Logansport, 13 to 7, September 25. Little lohn Grimes showed great promise of furthering Peru's football cause in days to come on the scoring end. End Bob Beard and Dean Brewer are also up-and-coming Bengal ma-L terial. Kokomas victory over the Cubs can be attributed to their old nemesis, fumbling. Freshman Football Squad Row 1: Werner, Willis, Berkshire, Finicle, Barrows, McPher- son, Coach Bienz.

By now the customs of our school were known by us, and we passed them along to the sopho- mores. Important on the varsities, scholastically rating high, we took pride in the individual members of our class. Some of us starred in our junior play, Uncle Fred Flits By, while others helped behind the scenes with make-up, prompting, and selling tickets. With the money we made from the play, February 16, we financed the lunior-Senior Prom. The class auditorium, March 21, branded us as outstanding. By the time of our prom, we had begun to feel pretty important to Peru High. We enjoyed the confusion of graduation and captured some of the sentiment of the years last days. And then came the final sign of growing up-taking over during Senior Week. Thus as juniors, we matured. lmpatiently we awaited our senior year, and now at last, we come into our own.

G. Wodehouse, Friday, February l6, in the auditorium. Mr. lames Hawker, drama coach, was assisted by Carmella Musto, student director, and Mr, Hal Kesler, assistant director. Over 4UU people saw this production. Members ot the dramatics class man- aged the makeup, while the set was painted by the art classes. Working with the ditticult coclcney accent, cast members brought out their broad As in grand style. Explaining an intricate play to the team, Coach Iulius Bud Ritter chalks it on the gym floor, They are Coach Ritter, Thompson, Guyer, Oury, Mack, Assistant Coach Ortwein down, and Baker, Marquis, Lowe, Hiers, Held, Redman, Holler, Bowyer, Sonafrank, standing Rittermen Win 14, Lose 12 Games A retirement fund would have been wel- comed by most of the members of the l95U-51 Peru High School varsity basketball team, for, at the outset of the cage campaign, l5 players strutted their stuff in front of judging mentor, Bud Bitter, and at the termination of the season nine of these had deserted the net ranks. ln November, the Tiger varsity twelve includ- ed si:-1 seniors, tive juniors, and one sophomore. ln February, this same roster was made up of three seniors, three juniors, and six sophomores. Even with such an erratic line-up, Coach Bit- ter's sphere-handlers managed to obtain an over-all l4 won and l2 lost record. The Tigers jumped into a rough schedule by absorbing a defeat at the hands of Bedford but easily rolled up victories in their next three contests. They then literally gave up to Lo- ganspori, but bounced back to win tour of their next five battles, then the Tigers dropped stead- ily into the losers' column, finishing the regular season with 9 wins and ll losses, At halftime the rnajorettes, Carol Goshert, Claudette Mathis, Mary Duncan, Sheila Shipman, and Beverly lohnson, twirled to entertain the basketball fans.

Forrnals and flowers, suits and shoe shines, all Were here. High point of the dance was the grand march shown below. School Went on the same as usual. Drivers training Waxed heavy With potential chautfeurs. Spring seemed in every- body's blood as the greenness came back to the out-of- doors. Ever popular, the coke ma- chine receives attention from Dean lones, Nancy Sharpt, Phyl- lis Russell, and Earl Wayne. Class Work Claims Attention Compasses and rulers were the main tools of trade for these geometry students, Bob Cook and Martha Merriett. Members ot the dramatics class take to the lighter side ot things as they decorate the class play sets, Marcia Hayes, Louise Orpurt, and lo Sharp paint, as Bob Bowyer instructs them in its finer points. .W ..f r' Don Worsley and Margot Loveland Wait Award day makes part-time searnstresses of their turn at the water cooler while Mary Dun- the athletes.

Never again would they attend classes, be in school productions, lounge and chat between classes with underclassmen. Ahead was a brand new, full life for all of them, Closed was the school year l95l. 'CNS ki QU Senior Class Officers Posing in the traditional caps and gowns are Madonna Petterson, sec- retary, Edith North, vice-president, sitting, and Alan Wrigley, president, and Victor Tully, treasurer, standing. These senior class officers worked long and hard lor their commence- ment exercises. Seniors Recall Happy Memories lllustrating the old belief that not all of the best things are large, a class of only l42 seniors completed a successful tour years in Peru High School by receiving numerous scholastic amd athletic awards at their graduation exercises, May 24. Under the leadership ot Alan Wrigley, president, the senior class presented their play, Life With Father, April 19 and 20, exhibited their talents before the student body in the senior audi- torium on March 28, and assumed the presidencies of most of the school clubs. Time and time again, as the seniors of '51 attended the school dances and ball games, whiled away idle hours at the canteen, and threw parties of their own at the slightest provocation, they realized that their years at PHS had been happy, memory-filled, and unforgettable.

Other teams that were downed before the Peru onslaught Were Wa- bash, Rochester, and Logcm. Only Muncie Bur- ris and Plymouth bested the locals.
