Seniors Show Semoritis Symptoms Early in School Life Senioritis is a disease, common among members of the fourth year class, more easily contracted than the common cold, more contagious than measles, and more fun than anything. Sufferers from the disease may easily be recognized by highly held heads and yellow cord trousers and skirts. They congregate in groups before school, they control the high offices in school activities, and they worry about their draft status. They are positive that their play, One Foot in Heaven, is the best ever to be given in Peru and think their senior prom is second only in success to the one they planned during their junior year. Symptoms of the universal affliction are numerous and begin with early high school days. Resistance is lowered by the first Girls League Christmas Dance and algebra exam, by the soph- omore auditorium and transitive verbs, by trading junior rings and selling junior play tickets. By the time they are ready to order caps and gowns, all have succumbed to different degrees. The only known cure is graduation with its merry celebrations and somber procession. l-3 X'-4 Qi X A l, 'ZS 1' Wonder How PHS Will Ever Survive Without Us ROW ONE Robert Appleton Hi-Y 2, Sound Crew l, 2, 3, 4.

Less inspir- ed are Morris Rufe. vice-president, and lack Arnold, treasurer, who can well imagine being late for class. Greenie Freshman Class Officers Conscientious is the word for these fresh- man class officers, on their way home after a long, hard day. Mike Davidson is class vice-president, Roberta Nash, secre- tary, Iohn Briggs, treasurer, and Dan Oury is president, F inally Reach Top of Underclassman Ladder junior class Cinderellas and Prince Charmings linked arms in the grand march, led by their elected King and Queen, as they honored the seniors at the lunior-Senior Prom, May 16. This year juniors or seniors were allowed to invite out-of-school dates to the dance. The prom was supervised by class president, Bill Forshee, and decorating chairman, Nola Smith. The final activity for the juniors will be the ushering at Bacca- laureate and Commencement exercises. The year began with the choosing of class rings, then came the try-outs for the awaited Iunior Play, The Boy Who Could See, written by Hal Kesler, PHS English teacher, was presented February 15. Between Is Enhvened by Sophomores Caught in the web of being too young to be classed as the envied upperclassmen and yet being past the greenie stage, PHS sophomores brought their 1951-52 year to a close with the decoration of the gymnasium for the Commencement exercises, May 27. This annual project was supervised by Miss Elizabeth Riden- our, chairman of the class sponsors, Hal Kesler, assistant chair- mang Doris Pribble, Iulius Ritter, Cyril Hall, and john Cokain, sponsors, and Iohn Grimes, class president. For all classes, activities were at a minimum this year, and the sophomore class was no exception. Mutual activities includ- ed the annual cramming for tests and the dreaming of next year's ring and prom. Find High School 'Amusin' but Confusin' Getting lost, forgetting locker combinations, and misplacing books mark the first few days of school for the freshmen. How sophisticated they felt upon the'-day when their dreams came true-they were finally in high school. After coming back down to earth, they set to work and selected class officers. The freshman boys took an active part in sports, ending with a successful season in both football and basketball. Under the direction of Clarence Oury, class chairman, they presented a one-act play, The Ghost Wore White, for an audi- torium. They also will help decorate for the Baccalaureate services. At the close of this school year, the greenies are glad that their freshman year is over, but they will always look back on the green year as a happy one.

Club members and their sponsors, Iames Hawker and Hal Kesler, are proud ot the numerous tirst, second, and third places award- ed to the contestants. Twelve students attended the annual Debate Clinic and Student Con- gress at Purdue University, November 30 and December l. Outstanding among the year's activities was the winning of the sweep- stakes trophy at the Indiana Speech Arts Festival, Ianuary 25 and 26, at lndiana State Teachers College. Service programs were given tor the Parent-Teacher Association and other organizations during the year by many of the 36 club members. Throughout the year the members journeyed to Indiana State Teachers College, Purdue University, Howe Military Academy, North Side ol Fort Wayne, Ball State Teachers College, and Hammond High. Contestants were entered in debate, extemporaneous speaking, oratorical declama- tion, poetry, dramatic declamation, radio, humorous declamation, and original oratory.

The improvements were financed by funds from the l95l Rodeo pro- duction. The drinking fountain will be near the band room and the print shop. A Student Council pep session committee scheduled pep programs for school organizations. One committee selected paid auditoriums, While another discussed fire drill regulations. With committees the Coun- cil kept busy With its primary Work, making rules to handle problems discussed by both students and teachers. During the early fall, a spirited campaign for student body president, with leaflets, bands, and posters meeting the voters at every corner, gave the school year its official start. The platforms and ideals proclaimed by Iames Buckalew and loe Barnett won for them the offices of president and vice-president, respec- tively. The council members were selected by their homerooms at the be- ginning of the year. .49. Quill and Scroll Plans Banquet Miss Gretchen A.

Row Z: Thomas, Nash, Harter, Young, Korba, Apt, Keller. Lawrence Whoever said that publishing a book is l0'X, inspiration and 90 C70 perspiration must have had the 1952 Narcissus in mind. The inspira- tion began last spring when loe Barnett, editor, decided to depict life at PHS by the simple theme Guys and Gals at Peru High. The per- spiration came all year and ended only when the finished book was in the hands of the sub- scribers. Editor Ioe Barnett, business manager Margot Loveland, and adviser Miss Cynthia Baker di- vided the book into five sections: student life, classes, activities, sports, and advertising. The student life section boasted of red ink for a second color used on student-drawn car- toons and headlines, while the advertising staff turned over a new leaf by selling a record S1500 worth of ads and by making the section very punny. Soliciting for subscriptions, introducing the staff, and presenting a skit entitled Then and Now composed the annual Narcissus audi- torium, October 10, at which time 597 pledges were signed. Miss Hester Wood served as sales sponsor, with the members of her homeroom assisting her in the handling of subscriptions and collections for a total of 700 books. Helping to put the work in the Yearbook Work- shop sign are editor Ioe Barnett and business man- ager Margot Loveland.

Graphic Peps Picture Coverage No congressional investigation was made of the red tendencies which The Peruvian took on and lost this year. Students welcomed the change when The Peruvian went into the red using colored ink for the Christmas and Valen- tine issues. The staff rejoiced when the ad staff, directed by Ann Palmer, solicited enough ads to bring The Peruvian finan- ces Hout of the red. More up to date and complete picture coverage was possible after the school board purchased a speed graphic camera for the use of the publications department and for any necessary school photog- raphy. The use of plastic engravings made Peruvian pictures more economical. ln the fall the publications office greet- ed a new adviser, Miss Cynthia Baker. Co-editors this year were Marilyn Iones and Nancy Sharp. As Paper Brightens and Books Balance Although at times it seem- ed the hard Way to learn big business, the business staff of The Peruvian pounded the streets and practiced super salesmanship selling ads. They counted papers and money each Week, mailed exchange papers, and bal- anced books to make the newspaper a self-supporting enterprise. Business Staff Seated: Richards, Leedy, Wis- wander.

A large Christmas tree and miniature cardboard toys in the gym- nasium made the evening seem enchanted to all who attended. Earlier in the school year the annual Girls League Kid Party on October 9 claimed the biggest attendance at such a function in the history of the club. The party's circus theme called for side-shows, pink lemonade, pop- corn, and taffy apples. On May l3 girls donned their best dresses to escort their mothers to the annual Mother-Daughter Tea. Humor and suspense prevail as the Girls League officers help prepare for the Kid Party.

Long Hours Hoofing and Blowing to Master Formations Twinkling stars, moving stairways, a chug- ging train engine, and an animated top hat and cane were the marching formations pre- sented by the band during the halftime of the Huntington football game, November 2. The formation of these figures resulted from hours of tedious work, even from band mem- bers bringing their lunches to the practice field at noon. lames Noble, music director, said that these formations were the most difficult ever attempted by the band. For the third consecutive year, Butler Univer- sity invited the Peru band, along with seven others from lndiana, to march at the halftime of the Butler-Ball State football game, October l3. lncluded in the Peru show were a HI, MOM and DAD formation with animation. Band Tag Day was launched at the Hartford City game, September 2l, and was still under- way the next day under the direction of Bob .5g. Wray and Mary Duncan. Because of bad wea- ther, the teams were able to raise only S600 ot their 351,000 goal. 'Kiss Me Kate and On the Trail were on the program when the band presented a con- vocation, November l6. This was practice for the annual Christmas concert, December l4, during which Mr. Noble honored the seniors by awarding them their band letters. A new grading system, introduced at the be- ginning of the second semester, proved fatal to 26 students, as they lost points the first day for being late to class. Each person could earn l5O points, but each time he did something wrong, he lost points. As has been traditional for several years, only the seniors played at the halftime of the last basketball game. Wearing their senior cords and letter sweaters they played their last pep song as PHS students. 'Pour It On,' Yells Pep Band Pour it on, Perul Pour it on! These are the seven Words that the Peru High students looked forward to all through this year. Who is it that puts this yell over at every pep session and gives out with rhythmic play- ing besides? lt's the Pep Band. Who is it that takes the students on the long march through the halls of PHS and Iunior High? The Pep Band. There are 17 members in the Pep Band, which is directed by lames Noble, music director, who also plays a saxophone in it. Dance Band Sets High Aims Thirty tunes or bustl was the goal for the dance band, organized during the second semester. Although the band played for the dance after the first football game, they did not play again until after the second semester. They also played at the junior and the senior plays. Since only a few of the members of the pres- ent dance band had experience last year, the band has had to do many hours of practice. Some of the favorite numbers for the year were Harbor Lights and lf, Pep Band Front Row: Iohnson, David- son, Stegman, Wray, Gross, Hartleroad, Barkdull.

The choir visited Purdue University, February 9, when they joined with a group ot schools to sing under the direction ot Al Stewart, choral director of the university. They sang tor the annual city teachers meeting there. Holding candles, the choir sang a special number in their Christmas Concert in December. Twelve members sang The Twelve Days of Christmas in solos and harmony.

MUSIC Dance Royalty, Parade, and Guest Conductors The list of guest conductors greeted by Music Club members for the Four- Way Music Festival at Peru this year looked like a marquee of masters. Ernst Hoffman, director of the lndiana University Philharmonic Orchestra, directed the combined orchestra at the festival. Milo W. l-lovey, director of bands at lordan College of Music, Butler University, led the combined band, and the combined choir was directed by Richard Whittington, director of the Iordan Philharmonic Choir. The 110 members of the ninth and tenth, and eleventh and twelfth Music Clubs were hosts and hostesses for the festival. They planned a dance before the evening concert. At the dance the king and queen, chosen by the three guest conductors, were crowned. Martha Nash and Robert Wray, presidents of the Music Clubs, crowned the king. Royalty candidates were chosen by Kokomo, Logansport, and Marion, the three guest schools, and by Peru. Elizabeth Grafft and Dean Thompson were nominated by members of the music department to represent PHS. Selecting selections for the band are its officers.

Y-Teens Corral Initiates at Fall Round-up Yippeel A western touch was added to the initiation of the Y-Teens' sixty new members as the gym was sectioned into corrals for the fall round-up, September 25. Building a fellowship of women and girls de- voted to common ideals of personal and social living, the members ended their yearly com- bined activities with a banquet for senior mem- bers at the Civic Center in May. The first activity of the combined groups fol- lowing the formal candlelight initiation, Oct- ober 3, was an exchange program with the Y-Teens of Logarisport, October 19. Both Peru and Logansport presented twenty-minute skits. Tucked behind an apple or orange, the PHS .5g. teachers found an invitation to the Teacher Appreciation Day party which the senior Y- Teen members sponsored as their tinal activity. During the year lames F. Volpert, Stanley Prague, and Mrs. Wilbur Neher appeared as guest speakers for the two groups. Mrs. Neher gave a cosmetic demonstration for Group l in March. Throwing caution to the winds, a come-ase you-are party was planned as the next activity following a panel discussion on style led by Nancy Deisch, program chairman. A combined discussion on personal inven- tory for girls was scheduled for the meeting February 18. L.

Clubs 'Get in Swim' at Kokomo Think and Then Act was the slogan the Hi-Y clubs in PHS tried to follow this year. Representatives from the three clubs, freshman, sophomore, and senior, attended the Fall Conference at Flora, September 25, the State Conference, November 16 and l7 at Connersville, and the Spring Conference at Frankfort, March 26. World Fellowship was the theme for the State Conference. Three swimming parties to the Kokomo YMCA pool were sponsored by the three different clubs. The Y-Teens joined the Hi-Y clubs to present the World Day of Prayer in the auditorium, February 29. Included in the pro- gram were a skit telling about the need for prayer throughout the world, and songs by the advanced choir. With the aid of Stanley Prague, secretary of the Peru YMCA, the clubs had a drive to raise money for new European Y buildings destroyed by the war. Each club learned the history of Hi-Y and had its own in- duction of officers. The presidents of the three Hi-Y's were Iames Dock, senior, Ierry Thompson, sophomore, and Ray Nix, freshman.

This plea was voiced by the 83 initiates who were inducted into the Girls Athletic Association, November l3. The initiates were required to sell Peru l-ligh School socks to their tellow students as a means ot raising revenue tor the club's year- ly activities. Both Peru's A and B teams were the grand champions when Logansport, Hunting- ton, Rochester, and Peru participated in a vol- leyball tournament here, December l5. A re- turn game was played soon after with Roches- ter, but Peru's team still remained unbeaten. Five girls were chosen on the basis of activ- ity points and club work by Miss Mildred Shideler, sponsor, to represent Peru at the GAA Spring Camp, at Camp Tecumseh, May 2-4, At this camp, girls representing approxi- mately lUO schools in Indiana, discuss club ideas on publicity, initiations, membership, play days, and activities, as well as getting a taste of outdoor camp life.

Mr. Kesler and Iames Hawker, directors, were assisted by Ruth Ellen Sullivan, student director. The play was attended by an audience of more than 800. The net profit was 534040.

Shinto Shrines and Satin Kimonos Transpol The show must go onl This cry was taken up by the members of the Mikado cast when news was received that Bill Held, who played Nanki-Poo, and Elizabeth Grafft, who played Katisha, were sick with a fever and sore throat. But true to the tradition of the theater, the show did go on and with every one there. The Mikado, by Gilbert and Sullivan, is a comic operetta set in lapan. The Mikado's son CBill Heldb flees his father's court in order to keep from marrying the old witch Katisha Clilizabeth Grafftl. He travels to Titipu Where he meets Yum-Yum CCarol Klepingerb and falls in love. But Katisha finds him and goes to tell the Mikado Clfrancis Stantonl. When she returns, Nanki-Poo has married Yum-Yum, but she is told he was beheaded. To make up for her loss, Pooh-Bah CDean Thompsonl, Pish-Tush CDon Worsleyj, Pitti-Sing CGeorge- ann Ionesl, and Peep-Bo CPeggy McCormackD talk Koko CDick Neherl into marrying Katisha. Since Katisha has no further claim on Nanki-Poo, he can now go back to his father's court with Yum-Yum. Iames E. Noble, music director, directed the cast and, together with Nancy Deisch, student director, ordered bright satin, lap- anese costumes.

The season began with a humid Missis- sinewa game and at the final game with Huntington, overcoats and mufflers were the order of the day.

Tigers Rack Up Four Wins Peru-36, Mississinewa-0 A totally inexperienced Mississinewa team, in its second year of competition and first year of playing varsity teams, was no match for the Donovanmen, as the Bengal coach emptied the bench to rout the hapless Mississinewa eleven, 36-U. In this contest the night was so hot and humid the Tigers forsook their regula- tion jerseys and played in white T-shirts. lack Lowe, Bay Nix, Dan O'Connell, and Gene lack- son racked up the Bengal touchdowns, with Lowe and Nix garnering two apiece. Peru-U, Kokomo-31 The Kokomo Kats journeyed here and left two hours later with more than a few Tiger skins on their belts. Iunior Phipps, Kokomo left halfback, kicked, ran, and passed his team to a 31-0 rout of the Tigers, as Peru's offense sputtered against the strongly-experienced Kat gridders and were overwhelmed by the over- all versatility of the Kokomo team. Peru-14, Logansport-27 In a rough game the favorite, in this case Logan, received a scare as the underdog PHS crew, playing at fighting pitch all through the game, clawed their way to a 7-G halftime lead before succumbing to a veteran Logan eleven, 27-14. lack Lowe accounted for both of Peru's TD's on a short jaunt of 7 yards and a 75 yard run. Peru-24, Hartford City-7 Undefeated in last season's play, the Hart- ford City Airedales came to Peru's Homecom- ,M in Up-and-Down Season ing game. The Airedales' coach, Iohn Carbone, a former Peruvian, will long remember Bay Nix, who romped to four touchdowns to account for all the Tigers' points. Hartford City rallied and scored in the fourth quarter to prevent a shut- out. Peru-12. Plymouth-33 Chuck Vancza, Plymouth fullback, ran riot, rolled to three TD's, and starred on defense as the Rockies romped over the Tigers, 33-12 on a chilly football night at Plymouth. The Bengals rallied to score two touchdowns but, for the most part, were on the defensive. Cliff Zeider and Dave Sheetz advanced the ball for Ply- mouth on various occasions to set up the touch- down gallops for Vancza.

The Tioga Indians rallied to score twice. Peru--13, Wabash-24 A favored Wabash eleven was forced right down to the wire as the Bengals, striving to keep in competition for the CIC crown, let the Apaches know they were in the ballgame. The issue was in doubt until the last two minutes when Wabash pushed over a last-minute touchdown to win 24-13. Lowe's record showed two TD's. Peru-6, Tipton-12 Tipton and Peru clashed on the Blue Devils' gridiron. Tipton scored first and held the ad- vantage until the third quarter, when Bay Nix tied it up with a left-end sweep from eight yards out. A tie seemed inevitable, but a last- rninute Peru pass was intercepted and run to the Peru B-yard line. A Tipton quarterback shot a pass for the TD just as the gun sounded, giving the Blue Devils a victory, 12-6. Peru-7. Elwood-13 ln a rain-drenched mudhole at Elwood, the game reminded fans of the Tipton tussle. A last second desperation play clicked and spell- ed defeat for the Tigers by the slim margin of 13-7. A tie was seen as the outcome of this tilt, but on a last-second pass play, the El- woodites pulled the contest out of the fire to give the Tigers another heart-breaking defeat. Peru-15. Huntington-13 Nine seniors bowed out in this, the last game of the season. lim Doerr, Ralph Pinicle, lim Day, Bill l-liers, Bill Beed, Francis Stanton, Bob Burrous, Earl Foy, and Dan O'Connell played their last contest in a PHS grid uniform. The Tigers, after suffering three straight setbacks, were keyed up for this one. Our defense smeared play after play and even scored a safety on a goal-line play by the Vikings. O'Connell and Bill Forshee scored the PHS touchdowns, with lack Lowe convert- ing what proved to be the winning point, and the Tigers walked off with a l5-l3 victory. Vargo Heads Reserve Squad ln his first year here, loe Vargo directed Peru's B team to a 2-4 record. Even though players moved back and forth often from the varsity, all their defeats were by a few points. Twenty-five boys saw action during the sea- son.

Second to Elwood Peru-48, Alexandria-44 ln the first game, the untried Peru Tigers fought against the Alexandria Tigers, a team with three games already under their belt. Peru was without lack Lowe, first string cen- ter, because of a leg injury, but took advantage of several Alexandria miscues and some hot shooting by Bay Sonatrank with fourteen points and Bill I-liers with eleven markers to pull away from Alexandria and win. Peru-38, Plymouth-36 Another conference tilt for the Bengals, Ply- mouth, boasting the high-scoring exploits of Dave Sheetz, found themselves on the short end of the score at the end of the first quarter, ll-7. The Rockies caught fire and zoomed into a 30-18 third quarter lead, Peru then scored 20 points to Plymouths six markers. Bill Hiers and Bay Sonafrank led the onslaught, with Hiers scoring high for Peru with 13 points. 87' Rebounding against Marion is lack Lowe as Ray Soriafronk and Charlie Baker keep their eyes on the ball. Peru-43, Huntington-37 A sopliomorefstudded Huntington Viking quintet met the Tigers at Huntington. The game was a rough and tumble affair and close all the way. The taller, but inexperienced Vikings were never behind more than four points at anytime during the contest. lack Lowe, back at full strength, led the Bengal attack with 18 points. Peru-42, Aubum-39 Peru was host to the Auburn Bed Devils, a perennial northern powerhouse. With one of the states leading scorers, Cal Grosscup, the Bed Devils went to work in a methodical man- ner, but a fired-up Tiger quintet interrupted the businesslike manner of Auburn with Charlie Bakers 20 points leading the pack. The Bengals upset Auburn, 42-39, for their fourth consecu- tive win. Peru-36, Hartford City-48 On the crest of a fourfgame winning streak, the Peru quintet journeyed to Hartford City to meet the Airedales. Hartford City, after a bad season's beginning, began to improve with every game. Peru caught the Airedales at the peak of their improvement. This, coupled with cold shooting, made the Tigers fall before the Airedales, 48-36. Bud's Boys Fight Tougl' Peru-53, Marion-49 Buds Boys did an about face of the Hartford City game by hitting a sizzling first half per- centage to sweep the Marion Giants off their feet. The Bengals hit their first four field goal attempts and soared into a 38-23 lead at the end of the first half. From that point on, things got a little colder for Peru, but they used their early lead as a cushion to win. lack Lowe con- nected for 2l points. Four-Way Tournament A holiday tourney was played in Bengal den with Peru winning out by defeating Wabash in an overtime tilt, 5564, and then subduing a small Tipton quintet, 57 to 47. Wabash employ- ed a deliberate style of play. Tipton, in opposie tion to the Apaches, ran all the way and gave the Bengals a tough time before Peru finally pulled it out of the fire. The prolific lack Lowe hit 20 points in the Tipton contest. Peru-44, Muncie Burris- 43 Muncie Burris, a leading contender for the CIC crown, strolled into Bengal Den with hopes of dashing Peru's chances of the crown. Almost, but not quitel Peru got started right away and had a 27 to 20 halftime advantage. Muncie came to life to tie it up at the third quarter's end. The lead see-sawed from one team to another before Peru gained a one point lead and stalled the game out. Kerschner's got it! lohn Kerschner puts both hands on the ball in the B game with Butler Township in the County Tourney. Charles Buckalew, lohn Grimes, and Dick Mclilheny are definitely in the game, too. Season Schedule to Write 16-8 Record in Scorebook Peru-49, Fort Wayne Central-52 Rated sixth in the state polls, the Central five was behind the major part of the game. Peru, unheeding Et. Wayne's clippings, were an up- set-minded quintet and, had two of the Tigers front line not fouled out, an upset might have been realized. Charley Baker, again having a hot night, led the Bengal scoring with l8 mark- ers. Peru-65, Rochester-30 At the first meeting of these two quintets, Rochester was completely outgunned, as Coach Ritter used every player in the roster in the uneven contest. Although the Zebras boasted of an all-veteran five, they lacked the shooting ability and agility of Ritter's lads. lack Lowe again was high with l5 points, with reserve Bob Del-laven connecting for l3 markers. Peru-67. Tipton-46 The underdog 'Tipton Bluedevils were no match for the Peru Tigers. After meeting and being defeated by the Tigers in the four-way holiday tourney at Peru 57-47, Tipton was un- able to give the Tigers as much trouble in this, their second meeting. Although the Bluedevils' Denny Butler hit 21 points, one man's efforts were not enough. Earl Wayne soared into the high scoring column for Peru with l5 markers. Peru-51, Logcznsport-39 An annual meeting between two ancient ri- vals was the Logan-Peru game. A sellout crowd watched expectantly as the game, reminiscent of past Logan-Peru tilts in that rough play pre- vailed, unwound itself. lt was a close affair for three quarters with both teams hitting a fair percentage of their shots. Peru put on a burst of points in the fourth stanza and tucked the game neatly away. Peru-47, Elwood-48 This game could be called the playoff for the championship of the CIC, as Elwood and Peru were tied for the conference lead. Elwood zoomed into a l6-7 first quarter lead mainly on the shooting of I. R. Snyder, who eventually ended up with 27 points. A rough game all the way, it became frantic in the fatal fourth quar- ter for Peru as Elwood gained a one point lead and stalled the game out. Peru-42, Wabash-50 The Bengals, earlier overtime winners over Wabash in the holiday tourney, were tempor- arily puzzled by Wabash's deliberate tactics. Although this puzzlement was temporary, the Apaches built up a l5 point third quarter lead and fought off a hot fourth quarter by Peru to coast into the winner's circle. Again lack Lowe led the Tigers with a remarkable lU free tosses besides 5 field goals, for 20 points. It's three up and four down as Bill Held tries for a tip in the Rochester game with Bob Del-laven and Charlie Baker standing by. Peru-47, Kokomo-55 The Kokomo Kats, number one team in the state, were hard put to defeat the Bengals. Their rating looked like a flimsy veil, as Ritter's Tigers, fired up to a fever pitch romped into a nine point lead in the third quarter. Then the lights went out for Peru as the Kats roared back in their patented last half comeback to pull the game out of the fire. lt's a four-way clash in the Auburn game as lack Lowe and Bill l-liers go for the ball. Charlie Baker stands poised for action. This may look like a practiced duet step, but it's lack Lowe fighting to tip the ball from a Central of Fort Wayne player to Bill Hiers. Lowes arm hides Charlie Bakers face. fFort Wayne journal-Gazette picturel Peru Holiday Foes F all Peru-56, Rochester-48 Small Whitmer gym in Rochester was the scene of the second Peru-Rochester tilt. The Zebras, almost unbeatable on their home floor, played hot and heavy for three quarters and then wilted as the Bengals, led by Earl Waynes eighteen points, cruised under the wire, the victors. Peru-57, Evansville Bosse-B1 The alma mater of Peru's Bud Ritter made the long journey here to meet the Tigers. Although a long trip might leave a cramped feeling with the players, they showed no effects of it as they split the draperies just a few times less than they missed them. Peru's jack Lowe took scoring honors with 20 points. Peru-58, Monticello-64 The Tioga lndians, boasting two boys six feet, four plus, engaged the smaller Tigers in Bengal Den. The rebounding of these outsized couple made a considerable difference in the game as they virtually held the ball above the heads of the Peru lads. The Tigers, not dis- mayed by the height of the lndians and led by lack Lowes 24 points, garnered 58 points but fell short of the Monticello total of 54 markers. Peru-59, South Bend-62 Last game: The Bitermen journeyed to South Bend to meet the highly rated Central Bears. A scrapping Bengal quintet, determined to end a two game losing streak and do it in a big way, had one of their best nights in shooting field goals, but fell down in free throws. This spelled the difference, and the Bears took ad- vantage of this fault to defeat the Tigers. State Tournament ln the sectional, the Peru quintet rolled over four opponents, the scores being: Peru 71-Chili 33g Peru 61-Bunker Hill 485 Peru 58-Deeds Ville 45, Peru 63-Macy 36. Advancing to the regionals at Kokomo, they met Kokomo in the first game. The game start- ed as the earlier tilt between the two teams, close the first half, but going into the second half, the Kats caught fire and romped off to a 59-49 victory. Bienz's Cubs Chalk 13-6 Record Beginning with a bang the B team Won nine out of its first eleven games, then broke even the rest of the season. Paul Bienz, coaching his tirst year of basket- ball, led the Cubs to a total season record of l3 wins, 6 losses. During the year they racked up 723 points to their opponents' 510. Reaching their peak at County Tourney time, the 'tB's downed Butler and Chili before Con- verse spilled them. Their most decisive victory was over Butler, 82 to 34. Iohn Kerschner dumped in the most points during the regular season to lead with 103. lack Arnold was next with 73. F rosh Take Home Tourney Winning the tour way tourney here lanu- ary 26 topped the honors of the freshman bas- ketball team. They downed Plymouth 38 to 28 and Elwood 45 to 31, Coach Paul Prible and the boys Won eleven out of sixteen games while piling up 581 points to their opponents' 510. During the county tour- ney they played Tipton's B team there. They beat Butler Township's varsity in a double overtime, 53 to 52, in a preliminary to the Peru- Evansville Bosse game. Bill Hill led the yearlings with 184 total points scored. ln the second game with Logan, Bill racked 36 points. Reserve Team Front Row: McPherson, Grimes, Buckalew, Ar- nold, Kerschner.

They started the season with victories over Fulton, Macy, Alexandria, and Winamac. Then they dropped the next two to Hartford City and Alexandria, coming back with Wins over Winamac, Marion, and Ko- komo. They dropped a game to Ieff of Lafayette and then split a double-header with Warsaw. The final game was the highlight of the season, even though the team lost to Ieff of Lafayette in a twilight game in the Lafayette Red Sox ball park. The team was made up mos y o , , third baseman, and Ray Sonafrank, sophomore center fielder, the only underclassmen in the starting nine. tl f seniors with Bill Hiers junior .g2.

Tennis Team Takes CIC Crown Peru's first ClC tennis championship was won by a team of underclassmen, coached by Phil Ortwein. One junior, two sophomores, and three freshmen made up the young team. The team won ten of its fourteen meets dur- ing last year's season. The netmen defeated Ieff of Lafayette twice, besides Muncie Burris, Wabash, Kokomo, Alexandria, Monticello, Ply- mouth, and Muncie Central. They lost to Ko- komo in a return meet also losing to Culver Military Academy, South Side of Fort Wayne, and Elkhart. By vote of his team, Harold Guyer received the sportsmanship trophy. Golfers Capture Eight Meets After losing their first three matches, the golf team with Toy Iones as coach got rolling and won the rest of the eight regular season matches. They beat Ft. Wayne, Concordia, Hartford City, Plymouth, Monticello, Rochester, Elwood, and Wabash two times, losing only to Logans- port, Tipton, and Kokomo. Last year they placed third in the conference match after taking first for the previous four years. lim Van Osdol was the only gradute on the squad.

Paul Bienz took over the track coaching duties. The victory, over Rochester, was the only one of the season, but the Tigers finished sec- ond in two three-way meets. For the first time, the thinlyclads participated in a night meet and an indoor meet. A high Y is formed by pole vaulter Bill Arthur during the CIC championship track meet. Peru placed seventh in the CIC meet, run at Peru for the first time in the history of the event. Ray Nix took a fourth in the 220-yard dash, and Bob Del-laven was fourth in the 440-yard dash and fifth in the broad jump. Bill Arthur tied for first place in the pole vault. Both of Peru's relay teams placed fourth. .g4. Getting on their marks are sprinters Bob Iones, Francis Stanton, Iay How- ard, and Bob Del-Iaven.

Wrestlers Draw Record Crowds Under the direction ot Coach lack Foster, the Peru wrestling team won eight ot twelve meets this year with good crowds to help the boys to win. Interest in the new sport was heightened by a wrestling demonstration at a pep session. Publicity was plentiful when Coach Foster and his assistant, Bob Martin, walked to Wabash because ot a bet made concerning the season's record. Peru took third in the wrestling sectional, February 15 in Lafayette gym. George Iackson was high scorer with a total ol 56 points and lU pins this season. Distance Runners Second in CIC The cross country team fared well this year under the supervision of Bud Ritter, head bas- ketball coach. The team placed second in the ClC meet. The boys that placed high, and consequently advanced to the sectional were Charles Baker, Gerald Guyer, Harold Guyer, Dick Hoover, and lohn Kerschner. Since only two seniors, Harold and Gerald Guyer, advanced in the meet, the prospects of having an experienced team next year are good. Larry Apt and Terry Middlekautt were stu- dent managers. .g5. Noon League Won by Iowa Team Dan Doyle's Purdue, first round noon league winner, was edged out by Ralph Finicle's Iowa, second round champ, by a close score of 25-20. Both teams Won one game in the final tourna- ment, and Iowa Won the playoff. The individual scoring for the first round was led by Dan Doyle with 106 points, While Earl Foy trailed close behind with lO5. The second round scoring was not accounted for. Various students refereed for the games throughout the year, but Bud Ritter, noon league instructor, and Paul Mavrick, a l947 PHS graduate, officiated the championship games.

Thanks ior the Memories . . . and the Assistance The story of life at PHS in 1951-52 is the story told every day by the Guys and Gals at Peru High. But the details could 'hever have been recorded Without months of careful planning and Work on the part of not only the staff, but also artists, printers, photographers, engravers, all pooling their efforts to make this book possible. In particular we on the Narcissus staff Wish to give special recognition as Well as thanks to Claude Kiser, Bill Manmiller, and all the other skilled Workers at the Sen- tinel Printing Company who Worked overtime to bring you this book . . . to Dick Brier of lndeco, the lndianapolis Engraving Company, for his sound advice . . . to Iohn Waltz, our photographer, Who gave us his share of time, experience, and more important, patience, to give this book complete picture coverage . . . to lack Bundy and the S. K. Smith Company for our covers . . . and to our ad- viser, Miss Cynthia Baker, Who managed to keep the wheels rolling on the right track. Thanks are due also to the real people responsible for this record, who gave their cooperation and interest to the production of this Narcissus-the Guys and Gals at Peru High. If 5 4 Ioe Bamett.
