We Find Many Things To Do . . . See no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. This is a classic pose not only for monkeys but also for presi- dential candidates. Under some of their posters are During the year we found many things to do, from filling out enrollment cards at the first of the year to parading through the halls cam- paigning for our candidates for Student Body President. This year four students campaigned for the highest office in the school. John Wolf won the honor and repre sented the school in many ways; he was chairman of the Student Council, introduced the auditorium performers, and, most enjoyable, kissed the Homecoming and Rodeo Queens. At the beginning of each semester students had to take time out to complete many forms and blanks to help school officials. Pierre Chapin. freshman, uses the Dean ' s Office to fill out his enrollment blank. Student Body President hopefuls Jim Gothard, John Atkinson, and John Wolf. Absent was Mike Reinhardt.

Pizza parties are loved by PHS students, freshmen as well as seniors. Kay Burgher, Andrea Schmidt, Jeannie Simon, Susan Volpert, Linda Crawford, and Sondra Crawford celebrate a football victory with pizza, cokes, and dancing. First editions form opinions, seems to be the thought of John Wolf as he critically scans this year ' s first Peruvian and realizes that, as chief editor, he has a lot of work in store for him. ■ Beatnik style nursery rhymes sound strange to children, but girls attending the Girls ' League Kid Party enjoyed the variations presented by representatives and cabinet members. Freezing at football games, buying tickets for the Kid Party, getting up enough nerve to ask that someone special to go to one of the dances, and urging the basketball team on to victory are just a few of the many extra-cur- ricular activities occupying students ' spare time. Often after football or basketball games, a group of girls gather at one home for a slum- ber party. No one gets much rest, but every- one eats to her heart ' s content and learns all the latest school gossip. Although not in many activities, freshmen never have the chance to become bored. Most of their time is spent learning the do ' s and don ' t ' s of high school life. Sophomores show that they are really a part of PHS as they per- haps join another club, participate in the Ro- deo, or take a hand in publishing the school paper which is provided for the entire student body. Membership in the National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Science Club, or other select- ed activities is often desired by juniors and seniors. Many also look forward to the day when they can display their acting abilities in class plays. 10

Here Each Finds an Interest The contrast in activities at Peru High, from Patrol Club to formal dances, is sharp. There is something for the shy, serious, light-hearted, pensive, and generous student. From the be- ginning of the year to the end, the school cal- endar in Mr. Delph ' s office is crowded with activities in which all can participate. Girls had a chance to see just how the op- posite sex have to budget their money, when they asked the boys for dates during Sadie Hawkins week. School work comes first, but PHS students are fortunate to have so many extra-curricular activities. But, of course, orchids are my favorite flowers, ' Carol Erlenbaugh assures Jerry Bradley at the Thanks- giving Dance, Moonlight and Shadows. The dance was sponsored by the Triangular Club, composed of senior girls. Unusual bracelets and key rings were given as favors to those attending. Emphasizing that safety is no joke is Mr. Noel Davis, sponsor of the Patrol Club. Members are Bill Myers, Larry Butzin, Ronnie See, Dick Hendricks, Charles Soams, Kenny Gipson. In the back row are Steve Grimes, Chuck Phillips, John Marcotte, Richard Garver.
