Sula Salmons, Penny Wilt- shire, and Kathy Geberin stop on their way to the Emerald City to have some refreshments. When school opened in September, 1961, many phases of life at PHS were different for faculty and students alike. With no new first- year students, many first-day problems did not arise. Faculty members were not bothered with balky lockers, lost rooms, or other typi- cal freshman predicaments. Upperclassmen did not have the task of acting as big brothers to freshmen. Several seniors were disgruntled to find that they were placed in the underclass locker section rather than in the coveted senior corridors. Halls were quieter — but dance re- ceipts were less! Nevertheless, without freshmen, the year got off to a good start with such fall events as Homecoming, Student Body Election, Rodeo, and the Kid Party. Although the Kid Party for- merly was a party for freshmen, the rest of the girls enjoyed it just as much without the ba- bies. Although this has been a year of inno- vations and new experiences, the activities and traditions of good old PHS have remained the same. Money, money, everywhere, and all for charity! Even fishbowls filled with money were brought to the table in the main hall to be emptied into the till Charitv Drive beaan Januarv 30 Making a last-minute pitch for votes, the three can- didates for Student Body President — Logan Wernz, Ron Doucette, and Rich Dobler — hopefully ask for sup- port. These boys campaigned vigorously during the week before election, but only one, Rich Dobler, was to attain the honor of leading the PHS Student Body. Roll up your sleeve, is the command to students as they stream into study hall from home rooms on Patch Test day. This service of the Miami County TB Association is an annual event in the lives of PHS students which insures that no active case of tubercu- losis shall go undetected. Queens Add Luster Leading the PHS student body through a week of festivities was Delia Eckelbarger, Homecoming Queen of 1961. A bonfire the night before the football game aroused stu- dents ' spirits. Gold and black corsages were sold by Senior Y-Teens girls to add pep and color to the cheering fans. Due to the fact that a Student Body Presi- dent had not yet been elected, Frank Welke, former junior class president, crowned the gueen during the half-time show. A parade of floats was unveiled for judging and for view- ing by the fans. Many clubs participated in the parade, with the Industrial Club winning first prize for the best float. The Tigers added the finishing touch to the annual event by downing the Rochester Zebras, 19 to 6, before a capacity crowd at Bengal Sta- dium, Enchanting the Homecoming fans was Delia Eckel- barger, Homecoming Queen, as she reigned over the football festivities for 1961. Smiles of regal splendor brighten the faces of the Homecoming Queen and her court. Encircling Delia Eckelbarger, queen, are her attendants: Nancy Redmon, senior; Kate Buffington, junior, and Nyla Ayres, sophomore. To Special Occasions As the clock chimed 8:00, six lovely girls slowly walked down the aisle to the strains of A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody. The girls pro- ceeded to the stage, where they were intro- duced by Richard Dobler, Student Body Presi- dent, who then crowned Beth Ann Flowers as Queen of the 1961 Rodeo. This coronation ceremony officially opened the annual show. Retiring to a throne at the back of the gym, the queen and her court reigned over the va- riety show for its two performances on Friday and Saturday, November 17 and 18. Hey, Look Us Over! was the second Rodeo during 1961. Because of a conflict in schedul- ing, the 1960 show was presented in the early spring of 1961. Beth Anne Flowers, Rodeo queen, captivated the Rodeo audience as she led her court through corona- tion ceremonies before the variety show. Silks ' n ' satins bedeck the girls of the Rodeo court. Attendants from the three classes are Dianne Halley and Gerrie-Anne Daly, juniors; Sally Wiltshire, senior; Jane Evans and Cathy Wise, sophomores. ■ 9 A typical Red Skelton stare passes over the face of I won ' t go huntin ' with you, Jake! sings Judy Mess- Patty Ribble as she portrays the TV star in a panto- more to her nimrod partner, Louise Skinner, in a scene mime, Sweet Violets. from the variety show. Student Talent Presents Variety Show Let ' s Twist again! says Charlie Lee as he and duce the newest dance rage, the Twist, to PHS stu- Dorothy Smith, Louise Courtney, and Cheryl Lee intro- dents during the Rodeo. Hey, look us over, chorus the cast of the Fall Ro- finale. Students were rewarded for their labor by per- deo of 1961 as they fill the stage during the grand forming for a full house both nights of the show. For Second Rodeo Performance of ' 67 For the first time, the PHS Rodeo was a vari- ety show composed of separate acts presented by talented students rather than a show utiliz- ing a theme as in the past. Dressed in feminine attire, the P-Club mem- bers pantomimed the song Bushel and a Peck. The Tigerettes charmed the audience with an exotic dance to Persian Market Place, while the Majorettes performed a pre- cision drill to Toy Soldiers. Two old favorites, Shine On Harvest Moon and When You Wore a Tulip, were sung by the choir and audience in Mitch Miller sing- along style. Tim Noble led the group as Mitch. Selections by the Choir and Swing Choir, plus other entertaining skits, made the PHS Rodeo of 1961 a memorable event. Watch those cues, Sally, Mr. Carroll Wright, direc- tor, tells Sally Wiltshire, student director, as he ex- plains the intricacies of directing a Rodeo. Listening in on the conversation are Mr. Wayne Taylor, art director; Judy Waltz, accompanist, and Mr. James Noble, music director. 11 ft Seniors Portray Dobie and Friends The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis was pre- sented by the Senior Class on April 6, 1962. The play opens at Salmon P. Chase High School on a typical troublesome day for Dobie. Dobie ' s problems center around Helen, a so- phisticated girl whom Dobie worships; Petey, the athletic boy friend of Helen, and Bonnie, the ever-faithful admirer of Dobie. Having de- pleted the funds of the school paper, Dobie comes up with the idea of a grand subscrip- tion dance to raise money. When he hires an off-beat comedy band for the dance and can ' t sell any tickets, it seems the end of the line for Dobie. However, with the help of Happy Stella, Bonnie, and Limbo Lamb, Dobie manages to get himself out of trouble and to work every- thing out satisfactorily. I ' ll shake you until your eyeballs are dancing in their sockets, says Petey Bellows (Kraig Dawalt) to Dobie Gillis (Jim Grund). Bonnie (Vicki Welke) and Helen (Sally Wiltshire) try to save Dobie from Petey ' s wrath. Is everyone ready? asks Susan Carlin, student di- rector. The members of the Happy Stella Kowalski Band are ready to enliven the play with their antics and to add more problems to Dobie ' s life. They are R. Doucette, B. Zimmerman, F. Holmes, J. Howard, D. Blackman, and A. Wills. Comedy Presented A delightful comedy called Pioneer, Go Home, by Richard Powell was presented by the Juniors. The story centered around the lives of some simple-minded people, the Quim- pers. Pop Quimper, played by Kenny Oyler, was a delightful old reprobate who made a profession of being unemployed so that he could collect government compensation. His family consisted of a son, Toby, played by Tim Noble, and two unidentical twin daughters, South Orange and Morris Town. Holly Smith, portrayed by Barbara Potter, had romantic de- signs on Toby, but Toby didn ' t have the same idea. The Quimpers, who were originally from New Jersey, settled in the state of Columbiana along a highway right-of-way and fouled up the plans of the Department of Public Improve- ments as well as of the United States govern- ment and the United Nations. Try the scene with a little more emotion, says Mary Jo Garber, student director, to Kenny Oyler, Tim Noble, and Barbara Potter as they practice their parts in the Junior Play, Pioneer, Go Home. A lively crap game excites the cast members as they rehearse a scene from the play. The amateur actors are: Kneeling: E. Crume, M. Scott. K. Dove, T. Bender, F. Gilbert, K. Bird, J. Shultz. Standing: R. Thompson, M. Cole, S. Crowden. T. Mullett, R. Baber, E. Eder, S. Craig, D. Randolph, S. O ' Connell, M. More- field, S. Malott. 13 Drumming up enthusiasm at a typical Friday after- noon pep session keeps the yell leaders on their toes. Skits, music, and pep talks spiced this year ' s sessions and put the team and fans in a winning mood. i Examining the proof of his scholastic prowess is Bill Goodwin, one of Peru High School ' s top brains. Bill ' s cumulative record card shows nothing but big round A ' s in the toughest courses PHS has to offer. Bill also was a National Merit Scholarship finalist. What was our assignment? asks Mary Jane Ralstin of Lynn Babcock as they snatch a few moments ' study in a favorite senior girls ' loafing spot. This senior cor- ridor also serves sometimes as an off-limits annex to the cafeteria. 14 We Yelled, Worked, Got Sick, Played Placing a coo] cloth on David Ber- ryman ' s brow, Mrs. Bernice LeMaster, school nurse, makes her patient com- fortable, as Linda Sharp, a helper, looks on. The nurse ' s office minis- ters to students ' minor ills. Hats off in the building, says Pat Arrick to Mr. Snowman, one of two such decorations which stood guard at the Girls ' League Christmas dance. Admiring the Kleenex masterpiece are Bob Mangene, Kate Buf- ington, Keith Bird, Martha Scott, and Abby Taylor. Over 100 couples attended this annual affair. In Fact, We Scarcely Missed Frosh! Checking attendance slips ior Miss Charlotte Baker, secretary to the principal, are the office helpers. This year ' s assistants are B. Aikman, C. Howenstine, N. vers, K. Bird, J. Reed, K. Kreutzer, B. Bateman, I. tngdon, P. Devine, and D. Eckelbarger. Here ' s how you scored, says Dean of Boys Noel win and Fred Holmes. Semi-finalists Archie Wills and Davis to National Merit Scholarship finalists Bill Good- Jim Grund look on with interest. • 16 ■ What ' s new this week? asks Kenny Oyler of Homer Bates as he and other home room presidents pick up Peruvians in Room 216, the publications office. Pete Horst waits patiently behind the two, hoping there ' ll be some papers left for his room. Envious glances are cast by Sophomore Larry Dun- ton, who looks forward to the time when he will be able to sport senior cords as do Hal Sonafrank and Kathy Geberin. Hitting the books in study hall is one way to cut down on homework, as Darl Rockenbaugh and Sara Spandau well know. These two juniors find second period assembly much less crowded since freshman students are no longer in the building. Seniors deserve the best of everything .

Pictured with him are One often hears that one never really appre- ciates what he has until he loses it, and if you don ' t believe it just ask any one of the 160 seniors who, on May 18, will don navy blue and march down one of the longest aisles in the world. As freshmen we stood breathless on the threshold of a brand-new life. We were afraid of so many things, but we were anxious to be- gin. Big brothers and sisters introduced us to PHS and from that moment on we were a part of this school. Adjusting ourselves to new ac- tivities, teachers, and friends wasn ' t exactly easy. It took almost a whole semester for us to find our way around and lose some of the awkward shyness that settled on us that first day in high school. All too soon that bittersweet year was gone and we found ourselves sophomores. We spent nine months being in between — not yet up- perclassmen but no longer little frosh. As juniors we presented A Date With Judy other members of his cabinet: Jim Grund, vice presi- dent; Delia Eckelbarger, secretary, and Bill Goodwin, treasurer. to raise funds for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. That was a year filled with all of the importance of being upperclassmen at last. There was so much to do and be in that we hardly found enough time for everything. Then last spring several of us were given the oppor- tunity to attend summer institutes at various colleges. We returned to school this fall with the knowl- edge that finally we were seniors and every- thing we did during these last nine months would be the last and somehow the best. We participated in our last Rodeo, went to our last ball game, and acted in our last class play. We suffered all of the agonies of college en- trance examinations and worked twice as hard to make better grades. Now we stand on the threshold of another new life, and as we march down the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, we will lose not just four years of high school but a part of our youth that can never be replaced. • 20 Well, maybe a size or two smaller would fit better, muses Rich Newhouse as Nancy Redmon tries on his P jacket. Tony the Tiger looks on askance as to what these seniors will do next. Senior lockers provide a common meeting place for students both before and after school. Here Tom Ru- benalt and Birja Brauneller, two of PHS ' s steadier students, stop for a chat between classes. Fun, Friends, and Fortitude Are All a Part of Senior Life Occupying the west stair- way, a favorite haunt of extemporaneous speakers, are Mary Jo Willingham, Barbara Parsons, and Ron Doucette. These seniors use this quiet spot to search for magazine ar- ticles in preparing their speeches. 21 For Four Years We Worked and Played Together at PHS Babcock, Lynn Pepettes 1, 2, Jr. Red Cross I Bailee, Keith E.

For Seniors, It ' s Final Gomes, Decisions For these four PHS seniors that final decision has been made in favor of Indiana Uni- versity. Kathy Geberin, Patty Devine, Sally Wiltshire, and Judy Waltz discuss their fu- ture plans while looking through an IU catalog. 31 But can, we afford a false ceiling? ponder t] ior Class officers as they decide on decorations for the Prom. Decorating for this dance was one of the major problems that confronted Gerrie-Anne Daly, sec- retary; Pat Brindle, vice president; Keith Bird, presi- dent, and Jerry Bradley, treasurer. Juniors Proudly Wear Class Rings, Make Plans For Prom Aren ' t these class rings sharp? exclaim Jim Fry, Bill Mowbray, and Nicki Pearcy as they proudly dis- play their symbol of upperclassmanship. From September until May- officers of the Junior Class were kept busy directing the ac- tivities traditional to the class. Miss Ina Horn- ish, sponsor, assisted the officers with their duties. Juniors proudly wore their class rings for the first time. To raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom, the class presented the comedy, Pioneer Go Home, to a near-capacity audience on Wednesday evening, February 7. Hiring a band, choosing a theme, and ar- ranging for refreshments and decorations — all these tasks had to be performed by the officers and committee members in charge of the Prom, May 11. As the year drew to a close, the Class of ' 53 suddenly realized that their high school days were slipping by, and that next year would be the last. In their final appearance of the year, officers of the class led the processional at Commencement exercises. 32 Juniors Row 1: Bill Abbey, Bar- bara Aikman, Carolyn Als- pach, Frank Anderson, Phil Angle, Pat Arrick, D Arwood.

From the looks on the faces of these Junior Tigerettes, this must have been one of the games we won. The girls are seen in sailor costumes worn for a half-time show, one of many given during 1961-62. Taking a picture of oneself is usually considered very difficult, but John Waltz, photographer, managed to do it somehow. With his trusty camera, Mr. Waltz shot almost all the yearbook pictures. 36 ■ All smiles alter the election results were announced are the sophomore class officers: Jack Langdon, presi- dent; Cathy V ise, treasurer; Judy Nelp, secretary, and John Allbritten, vice president. These officers he ' ped the committee to select a pattern for their class rings. Selecting Class Rings Is Amon g Activities of Sophomores This year ' s sophomores are the first to say they have been the youngest class in school for two years. The reason for this fact is Peru ' ; new 6-3-3 educational system. The completion of the new Junior High School building elim- inated freshmen from the old building. Sophomores had two principal tasks to per- form during the year. First, they had to choose their class rings. A group of students were elected through their homerooms to choose the ring style and crest. Second, the sophomores performed the annual task of preparing the Tig-Arena for the baccalaureate and com- mencement exercises. Members of the class were appointed to obtain from their churches, bouquets of flowers which were to be used to decorate the speakers ' platform. Jack Lang- don, class president, and John Allbritten, vica president, lighted the candles before the exer- cises began. The Class of ' 64 was helped dur- ing the year by their sponsors, Miss Elizabeth Ridenour and Mr. Brentis Berkshire. I hope my lock works, says Mary Bullock, while Veda Siegired and Alicia Anderson give helpful ad- vice. After two years in the cubby-hole, sophomores still find it hard to master lock combinations. 37 Sophomores Row 1: Lorraine Abbott, Evelyn Adams, Sue Adkins, Jerry Ainley, John Allbritten, Kenneth Allen, Alicia Ander- How 2: Ruth Angle, Pat Avery, Nyla Ayres, Jim Baber, Connie Baker, Mary Jo Baker, Sharon Bales. 3: Tom Banks, Jay rt, Joe Beauchamp, Behny, Gary Biddle, gs, Beverly Black.

Superintendent and School Board Govern Peru City Schools On the second Monday of every monlh, the confer- ence room in the superintendent ' s office becomes the meeting place of the eight people who carry out the administrative work of the Peru School City — the school board. Seated are Mrs. Mary Robinson, school board secretary; Mr. William Bullock, Mr. Paul Fultz, and Mr. George Long. Standing are Mr. Robert Haig, school attorney; Mr. Robert Thompson, Mr. Fred Fecht- man, and Mr. Duey Cypherd. Mr. Fred Fechtman, superintendent of Peru city schools, carries out the difficult job of co- ordinating the work of all eight city schools and serving a s the schools ' representative to the school board. Working with Mr. Fechtman are Mrs. Mary Tresch, the superintendent ' s sec- retary; Mrs. Marian Lingenfelter, attendance officer, and Mrs. Mary Robinson, secretary to the school board. The school board is a five-man board which is elected by the City Council to serve three- year terms. One of the most important items on this year ' s agenda was the proposed re- organization plan which, if adopted, would affect Peru and Erie Township schools as well as the city schools. If it does go into effect, this plan would increase the work of the school board to such a degree that it would be en- larged to a seven-man board. A new salary schedule for the teachers was also an impor- tant issue during the year. Three down, one to go, reflects Mr. Fechtman as he examines blueprints for the new Holman School, now under construction on the site of the old building. Supervising school construction has been his major project for the past four years. • 42 Mr. Delph Finds That a Principal ' s Job is Never Finished From eight o ' clock in the morning until long after three-thirty in the afternoon, Mr. Earl Delph performs the arduous job of efficient school administration. The work of a high school principal is never done. Mr. Delph must administer the policies set up by the school board, prepare class schedules, and serve as extra-curricular treas- urer. He must also work out problems of the athletic department and arrange school activ- ities as well as work with the Student Council to promote student government. Mr. Delph has the unique quality of being genuinely interest- ed in every one of the seven hundred students at Peru High School — and in all alumni, too. From the very first day of school every stu- dent is aware of his presence — in the halls, on the PA system with the morning announce- ments, and in the auditorium making speeches. Everyone remembers his famous Harry Tru- man speech and the yells he leads at the pep sessions. To Mr. Delph, the most important things in school life are not policies and regulations, but the activities which are designed to make stu- dents better, happier citizens. He is always willing to help in every way he can. The casts of both the Junior and Senior Plays are often allowed to make announcements and give pre- views of their plays over the PA system. Many times Mr. Delph has made it possible for the speech team to leave during school hours and excused the DeMolay boys to help with such worthy community projects as unloading the bloodmobile. Mr. Delph ' s interest in us and the encourage- ment he gives to all worthwhile projects make the years at Peru High School a happy and rewarding experience. Miss Charlotte Baker and Miss Susie Dyer assist with many of the administrative duties. Miss Baker, as Mr. Delph ' s secretary, finds her days full of keeping track of absentees, filling out honor roll cards, making transcripts of grades for college-bound seniors, and presid- ing over the telephone. Miss Dyer serves as the extra-curricular fund bookkeeper, and her job also includes selling basketball, football, and cafeteria tickets. At the end of a busy day Mr. Delph pauses for a moment to gaze out of his office window. Keeping up with the students and problems of PHS is not an easy job, and Mr. Delph seldon finds himself idle. ■1H Formidable Faculty Does Have Its Human Side Some people actually can ' t afford a newer model, but with Mr. Jess Dice old cars like his 1929 Model A Ford are an enjoyable hobby. Mr. Dice is Peru High School ' s chemistry and physics teacher. Relaxing in the new teachers ' lounge are Mr. Wil- liam Siderewicz and Miss Patricia Brown, both of whom joined the PHS faculty this fall. Mr. Siderewicz teaches health and safety, while Miss Brown is the new Dean of Girls. Teachers are human even if students don ' t always realize it. The PHS student body was awakened to this fact when the new faculty lounge was opened this autumn. All of a sud- den those grim-faced teachers became happy people, for now they could escape during free time into a pleasant atmosphere of quiet with No Students Allowed. Mrs. Alice Moon accepted the non-paying position of keeper of the coffee urn and daily brews the refreshing stuff which somehow adds new life to tired teachers. Cleaning up at the end of each day is the new job of Mrs. Ruth Ann Ramsey. There is also a coke machine in the lounge for teachers who prefer soft drinks. Not only did the lounge improve faculiy dis- positions, but the absence of curriculum studies and IQ reports also helped to make teaching a pleasanter job this year. Although he seems quite formal here, Mr. Philip Fox, senior composition teacher, really prefers grading papers in a reclining position, with plenty of coffee at hand. .;.: These Are the 39 Men and Women Who Impart Kh$ £dfg f Charlotte Baker Secretary to the Principal.

Only 34, Mr. Poff died of a heart ailment from which he had suffered for several years. Mr. Poff, a 1946 graduate of Peru High School, had taught at this school since 1955. He was a Senior Class Sponsor, a faculty ad- viser of the Boys ' League, and a member of the concessions committee. A former athlete himself, he was intensely interested in the athletic fortunes of PHS. His classes were enlivened by his keen interest in all things political. In his death students lost a fine instructor and a good friend; his fellow teachers, a be- loved colleague; his family, a devoted husband and father; and the community, a valued citi- 47 Even dogs study at Peru High School NOW WE ARE THREE . . in the CLASSROOM Aa ik iee, we unde vtook ike zieai buAine d of kink school • — g.et£Lnn an education.

Students taking English continue their study of funda- mentals and usage. Journalists who have com- pleted their course in beginning journalism, usually fill positions on the Narcissus or The Peruvian later on. Although sophomores may have a choice between English and journalism, all students must take speech. Speech gives students poise when speaking to a group as well as confi- dence when meeting individuals. Dramatics was also offered this year. Students taking dramatics put on auditoriums. Besides grammar, juniors spend a great deal of their time on American literature. This course ties in with their study of American His- tory, a junior course. Most seniors on the college entrance course take Senior Composition under Mr. Philip Fox. The seniors try to avoid penalty errors as they express their opinions and feelings in themes. The main project for the course is the writing of a 3,500-word research paper. Let me see now! I ' ll put this story here, says Bunny Pier as she works at making up her own Peru- vian, a beginning journalism assignment which is hard work, but fun. Body actions are very important, says Mr. Carroll Wright as he helps Herbert Gann show a speech class haw to walk and gesture without being obvious. This is one phase of speech that every student must learn. Grammar Still Important Ralph Stitt shows his all-male sophomore English class how to diagram a sentence with compound sub- ject and verb. While difficult, diagraming helps stu- dents understand better the parts of the sentence. What would be a good book to read? asks Sula Salmons as she looks over a book list for college-bound students. All juniors must read at least one library book every six weeks as part of their assignment. Research, Research, Research! This is what seniors research paper. Lynn Babcock, Nancy Olinger, Mary taking Senior Composition did during the first thirteen Jo Willingham, David Miley, and Diane Morgan search weeks of the first semester in order to prepare their for references from library publications and files. 51 Do those little scratches really mean something? They do to stu- dents taking shorthand. Connie Black tries to write shorthand at the rate of 70 words a minute as Susie Bowman dictates to her. 10 11 u 1 16 17 18 19 20 23 24 25 26 27 30 31 • • • Here ' s one budget done without a mistake, says Charlie Lee as he prepares to hand in his typing as- signment. Bonnie Walker, however, does not have Charlie ' s luck, and she has to discard still another incorrect paper. Budgets provide much work for stu- dent and teacher alike. 52 Commercial, Social Studies Classes Give Practical Help Preparing for the future seems to be the goal of practically every student in high school, but this is especially true of students on the busi- ness education courses. Beginning students take such subjects as bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, or commercial law. Juniors may take shorthand or beginning typing; seniors may take more advanced courses in bookkeep- ing, shorthand, and typing. Many students who plan to go to college take at least one semester of typing. During the second semester of this year, a new one- semester course in typing was offered during the noon hour. Each of these courses is in- tended to prepare a student as well as possible for a commercial career. Three years of history are offered to all stu- dents of Peru High School, but only two years of history are required for graduation. World history, an elective, is popular among students on the college entrance course at Peru High School. Students taking this course study the cultures, various forms of government, and his- torical backgrounds of foreign countries. A required subject for all juniors is U. S. His- tory. Many students find this to be a very en- joyable subject, but work hard on assigned term papers. Government proves to be an unforgettable subject for seniors. Mr. Albert Spandau spends much time with his classes teaching the In- come Tax forms. Joyce Long watches Raymond Ege as he uses a chart to show Martin Daly and Betty Darby what the national debt was immediately after the Korean War. Charts of this type are used to show fac tics concerning the federal government. 53 Health, Safety Required; Swimming at Y New P. E. Activity Swimming classes at the Y were offered to gym students for the first time this year. Getting ready to douse themselves are girls of the fourth period physi- cal education class. Every student at PHS is required to take or semester of safety, a semester of health, and two years of physical education. Safety teaches the student the structure and function of the car as well as good driving practices. Students take behind-the-wheel tests in order to learn how to drive. After learning rules of the road, they may qualify for begin- ning driver ' s permits. Health teaches the student about the human body: its functions, its needs, and ways in which to maintain its good health. Skeletons and models of other parts of the body are use- ful in teaching health to the student. Gym classes provide exercise and adequate time for students to enjoy sports with one an- other. For the first time this year, boys and girls physical education classes were sched- uled on alternate days. Strengthening back muscles is the purpose of this exercise practiced during a boys ' physical education class. Exercises of this kind help to keep the boys in shape and to provide good muscle-tone. 54 Getting ready to instruct beginning drivers in be- members of his safety class are Marlene Myers, Karen hind-the-wheel training is Mr. Larson. Some of the Kreutzer, Nancy Parkman, and Barbara Moore. Alas, poor Yorick, quotes Jim Ratliff to Lana Bonney, as he ex- amines a human skeleton. This skeleton is used in health classes to help students learn the func- tions of the bones. bb The circle oi keys is the starting point for students practice constructing intervals while Mr studying harmony. Leroy Pope and Hal Sonafrank plains the diagram to Gloria Harris. Peru High School Students May Choose from Electives: Painting a still life is one of the requirements for students taking art. Gary Correll creates a picture which he hopes will faintly resemble the scene that Mr. Wayne Taylor has set up. 56 . - j Experimenting with a model of a Roman catapult intrigues Larry Jenkins, as well as Janis Glassburn, Mary Bullock, and Tom Jones. In Latin classes, stu- dents often complete projects such as this to make the life of the Romans more vivid. Music, Art, Foreign Languages The arts are not forgotten at PHS. Students having good academic grades may enroll in band or choral organizations. A complete mu- sic curriculum was prepared by Mr. Noble and offered to students for the first time this year. In art classes, students learn to paint, draw, sculpture, and work in ceramics under the di- rection of Mr. Taylor. Sometimes students dis- cover hidden talents which can be developed with practice and instruction. College-bound students usually take two years of Latin or Spanish as an elective. This year Mary Jo Willingham was the first PHS student ever to take third-year Spanish. Both Latin and Spanish students enjoyed film strips and records as special audio-visual aids. La taza, says Lance Johnston in Spanish as he identifies one of the many everyday articles on the table. Marsha Boone acts as teacher for this exer- cise prepared by Miss Hornish. Puzzled by a problem in advanced algebra, Judy Hanks summons Mr. Stone for some last-minute help. Sam Goodwin and Pat Siblisk look on, trying to under- stand, too. Collecting papers for one day ' s work in college al- gebra is Joe Colelli ' s job. College algebra is a second- semester course offered to students who have com- pleted the advanced algebra course. Is that an isosceles triangle? asks Judy Hopper of Kathy Volpert Judy looks confused as Bruce Miller and Ted Comerford exhibit other geometric figures, all of which must be identified. 58 Math and Science Require Brains, Bravery, and Diligence Lewis Ulrey is demonstrating a Jacob ' s Ladder as Roberta Thompson, Carolyn Latta, and Jim Neher won- der what will happen next. This is only part of the equipment in the physics laboratory. Math is becoming more and more important in our fast-changing world of today. Students enrolled in the College Entrance Course some- times major in mathematics, although they must take one year each of geometry and al- gebra. PHS offers everything from general math to trigonometry. Those who are going to major in business take general math and get the basic fundamentals, while those who will be entering a scientific profession will need all the math they can get. Chemistry students perform experiments, shrugging off broken beakers and acid burn- ings as just part of a day ' s work. Photometry, dominant wave-lengths, gauss units, and di- chronic crystals are some of the words whose meanings are learned by those taking physics. These subjects provide a basis for college sci- ence training. This is how a laboratory balance works, says Tom Miller to Nancy Myers. Nancy tries to understand the principle of this mechanism for chemistry, since she might have to explain it later. While Attending PHS, Students Learn Useful Vocations Although mathematics and science play an important role in today ' s education, people are beginning to realize that students cannot be restricted just to these subjects but that some must prepare themselves for the future in a vocational trade. Many boys do this by taking the industrial course, while girls take the home economics course. Metal shop and woodwork are popular courses among the boys. Students taking these courses learn how to use various tools such as lathes, grinders, drills, planes, and other shop tools. Boys taking woodwork make pieces of furniture and help construct scenery for the dramatic productions at PHS. Many boys on the industrial course also take drafting and printing. The girls ' home economics course is just as important as the boys ' industrial course. Stu- dents taking home economics learn how to sew and cook. Throughout the year the girls dis- cuss home furnishings, child care, family living, and many other aspects of daily life. Jerry Pogue and Jon Clawson peer through safety goggles as they grind a lathe center with a cylindri- cal grinder in machine shop. This is one of the many tools that the boys must learn to operate. A place for everything and everything in its place, and Ted Pyeritz as they put away their tools before is the motto of Tom Ewer, Bill Geiselman, Alvia Smith, going to their next class. Pinning a pattern on material, one of the first steps in making a garment, occupies Pat Avery and Sandra Critchfield. After the girls finish doing this, they will sew the parts together to make a dress, a job which may look easy, but isn ' t. Home Ec girls even made curtains for the new teachers ' lounge. Will too many cooks spoil the broth? asks Rita Qualio of Christina Deaton and Mary Everett as the three whip up a cake in homemaking class. A?S   - N Smiling through the suds, Dorothy Marcotte and Dor- othy Trueblood know that washing the dishes can be fun when there are two to share the task.

This organization, whose mem- bership is comprised of all girls in PHS, spon- sored the Kid Party in October. This has be- come an annual party where the guests dress as little kids, and prizes are given for the best costumes. This year The Circus City Five, a combo of five boys from PHS, furnished music for the Kid Party. Mistletoe Magic was the theme chosen for the Girls ' League Christmas Dance, which more than 100 couples attended. Sprigs of mistletoe hanging all around the gym were enjoyed by all who attended. The Christmas Auditorium was also presented by the Girls ' League. A spring function of this group was the Mother-Daughter Tea. All of the girls in school were invited to attend and to bring their moth- ers as guests. Each mother received a corsage as she entered and was entertained through- out the evening by some of the talent of PHS. Abby Taylor and Judy Craft served as arl co-chairmen for all Girls ' League functions. Which band shall we hire for the Christmas Dance? asks Miss Patricia Brown, Girls ' League spon- sor, of Girls ' League President Sally Wiltshire, while Kay Doty, first vice president, and Barbara Parsons, second vice president, assist in the choice. Checking designs for the dance programs are the other Girls ' League officers. They are Patty Devine, corresponding secretary; Susie McCarthy treasurer, and Carol Erlenbaugh, recording secretary. Helping with various Girls ' League activities are the mem- bers of the Girls ' League Council, who are chosen from each home- room. They are: Bottom row: ]. Craft, S. Siblisk, D. Smith, C. Howenstine, M. Sahaidachny, A. Taylor, B. Holmes. Row 2: S Craig, P. Shannon, M. Flora, C. Soames, S. Blackman, S. Adkins, P. Schoolman, I. O ' Connell. Row 3: D. Morgan, J. Prior, M. Boone, S.

Holmes, B. McCormick, R. Ege, B. Jones, R. Radel, T. Sawyer, K. Comer. Row 2: J. Colelli, J. Gilgrist, D. Rassner, D. VanTreese, R. Yard, T. Chapin, J. Rhodes, K. Dawalt, J. Nye. Row 3: Mr. Holmes, B. Mangene, B. Barnhill, T. Scott, J. Hettwer, J. Shultz, J. Herron, Mr. Siderewicz. Boys ' League Keeps Traditions and Carries Out New Ideas Many activities were planned this year by the Boys ' League. The Council sponsored a trip to Chicago to see a game played by the Chicago Bears, a professional football team. Although the trip was scheduled for those on the Council, other boys had a chance to sub- stitute if a member could not go. The Council also made arrangements to see a college bas- ketball game. Traditional events were also kept in the Boys ' League schedule. The annual Thanks- giving Auditorium was presented, with the Reverend Avery Miley giving the address. The Council planned the Sweater Hop, which was March 24 in the old gym, with music furnished by the Circus City Five. Since there were no freshman boys entering high school this year, the members did not have as many students to introduce to PHS. However, they showed new pupils around the building and acted as big brothers. Preparing stage props for the Thanksgiving Audi- torium are the Boys ' League Cabinet members. John Hettwer, treasurer, begins work while Ron Yard, pres- ident; Tom Scott, secretary, and Danny VanTreese, vice president, offer their advice. 65 Student Council Directs Turnabout Week, Noontime Dancing One of the main objectives of the Student Council is to help solve the problems of the students. Members of the Council are: liottom row: K. Volpert, R. Baber, B. Day, D. Davis, S. Crowden, R. Thompson, J. Jackley, N. Redmon. Row 2: D. Briggs, D. VanTreese, H. Sona- frank, S. Reed, D.

Turnabout Week was one of the big projects sponsored by the Student Council this year. The week started the night of February 7 and and extended to February 14. The Student Council was in charge of many other activities to improve PHS. Noon time dances were under the supervision of Council members. These dances helped reduce con- gestion in the halls at noon. The Student Body raised over $600 in the United Fund Drive, which the Council sponsored. New fire escape signs were also put in every room of the build- ing to promote safety in the school. In order to make money for their projects, Student Council members sold jewelry in the halls. Richard Dobler, president of the Student Council, and all the members strove to accom- plish their goal of improving Peru High. Get on Y our mark, get set, go! exclaims Delia Eckelbarger, secretary, to the other Student Council officers as she starts them on their way to a success- ful United Fund Drive. Besides Delia the other officers are David Briggs, sergeant-at-arms; Richard Dobler, president; Logan Wernz, vice president, and Jerry Bradley, treasurer. 66 Continuing its winning ways, the National Forensic League has remained a leading pow- er in statewide competition. During the year, speakers have traveled many miles to sixteen meets throughout the state, winning or placing in almost every contest entered. Some NFL members also participated in three student congresses, or make-believe legislatures. NFL has expanded this year. Approximately seventy students are members in comparison with thirty for the year before. Between thirty and forty Peru students enter various cate- gories at each speech meet. Mr. Donald Queener and his speech group are very enthusiastic about their bus and bus driver, Mr. C. E. Weideman. Without this in- expensive means of transportation it would have been difficult to enter so many students at each meet. Bringing in many points were Mary Jo Wil- lingham, Louise Tschmel, Lindsay Hagen, Guy Washington, Martha Scott, Tim Noble, DeRees Clark, and Dorothy Randolph. Marking up NFL points is Mary Jo Willingham, pres- ident, observed by Holly Stephenson, treasurer; Louise Tschmel, secretary; Ron Doucette, vice president, and Martha Scott, historian.

From the time of initiation in the fall until the Y-Teens banquet in the spring, the members of these three groups were en- gaged in various charitable projects. Helping at a nursing home, decorating PHS at Christ- mas time, and collecting for the Heart Fund Drive were some of the good deeds performed by these girls. Presidents of the three organizations were Kathy Geberin, seniors; Roberta Thompson, juniors, and Jean Wallace, sophomores. Making favors for nursing home pa- tients was undertaken by the Junior Y-Teens members. They are: Bottom row: S. Woolley, S. Salmons, R. Baber, J. Hanks, M. Morefield, C. Struble, M. Fooshee.

Modern Dance Classes Offered to GAA Members This Year Under the direction of Mrs. Carol Holmes, the Girls ' ' Athletic Association had a very busy year. For the first time GAA members were offered gold sweatshirts designed like those from colleges. Modern dancing was a new activity added to the program this year. The girls created dances in which they expressed their feelings. Sports included deck tennis, dodgeball, and kickball. Tournaments were conducted among the teams. Bowling was also a popular sport this year. The girls bowled in teams on Monday after school. At the end of the season a trophy was given to the team with the highest total in all games. Trophies were also given to the girl with the most improved average, highest series, and highest game. Several girls went to the Noblesville High School Playday in the spring. They participat- ed in various indoor sports, such as table ten- nis and basketball. Practicing movements tanght to them in modern dance class are Karen Kreutzer, Penny Wiltshire, and Ann Disborough. 72 ■ Junior Red Cross Members Help Others by Charity Work One of the busiest clubs in PHS this year was the Junior Red Cross, whose members worked on many charitable projects. One of these was visiting nursing homes in the Peru area during the Christmas season, and giving, each patient two Christmas cards to send to a friend or relative. Junior Red Cross members provided the stamps and addressed the en- velopes for each patient desiring assistance. Visiting the Marion Veterans ' Hospital was another club activity. At the hospital the girls served as hostesses for several coffee hours. Club members who helped stuff toys to be given to the children of patients in the Veter- ans ' Hospital. Helping prepare gift boxes to send to needy persons in disaster areas was a project of the Junior Red Cross members. These kits includ- ed pencils, paper, needles and thread, erasers, toys, tooth paste, combs, and soap. Many of these articles otherwise would not have been available to the recipients.

Home Room 216 and Printing Boys Assist Publications Staffs Will it break down again? asks Toby Townsend as he and Albert Forker, Robert Bishop, and Larry Butzin nervously prepare to get the old flatbed press rolling. With the help of Mr. Franklin Minion, new printing teacher, these boys print the weekly edition of The Peruvian. 77 Homeroom presidents, get The Peruvian. This familiar order heard on Friday afternoon touches off a rush to get the paper and read all the news. The Peruvian staff, headed by Carol Erlen- baugh, learned the meaning of hard work. The editors remained after school several times a week, and the assistant editors spent hours preparing material for publication. The business staff collected money for ads to pay for The Peruvian. Everyone was in a continual rush to meet deadlines and get the paper out on time. Mr. Philip Fox was adviser of the Peruvian. Talking over the news of the day are the assistant editors o! The Peruvian: J. Sonairank, B. Potter, S. Crowden, M. Montgomery, J. O ' Connell, N. Doran, S. English, M. Duncan, and R. Thompson. Where ' s the first stop? asks Martha Scott, adver- tising manager, as the business stall leaves to collect for ads in the next Peruvian. Also on the staff are Sally Sampson, business manager; Warren Angle, photographer, and Bob Barnhill, circulation manager. Peruvian Staff Members Minions of Printing Press Disgust is mirrored in the face of Carol Erlenbaugh, editor-in-chief, as Vicki Welke, managing editor, and Nancy Redmon, copy editor, point out a mistake in Peruvian copy. Throw it in here! says Kent Dove, sports editor. Discarding old copy are Sharon Zook, Jim Grund, and Judy Waltz, associate editors, and Tanee Mullett, fea- ture editor. 78- Now this is the way you do it, says Carolyn Oh- man, underc lass editor, as she pastes pictures on the layout sheet. Other Narcissus editors looking on are Bunny Pier and Ruth Angle, index editors, and Holly Stephenson and Mary Jo Willinghcrm, senior editors. Exploring the card file is just one of the many tasks Narcissus editors must perform. Making identifications are Frank Anderson, sports editor; Terry Lewis, class- room editor; Susie McCarthy and Judy Wyneken, ac- tivities editors, and Carolyn Ebert, classroom editor. Deadlines Keep Yearbook Staff Under Constant Pressure To the average PKS student, ten months may seem like plenty of time in which to prepare the Narcissus for publication, but to the editors, the time is all too short. The yearbook began to take shape last summer at the Indiana Uni- versity Journalism Institute, when Barbara Par- sons and Sally Wiltshire, co-editors, prepared the 140-page dummy. During the school year the editors and Mrs. Russell Keith, adviser, fought to meet photography, engraving, and printing deadlines. After many weeks of hard work on the part of the staff, the 1962 Narcis- sus was finally unveiled at the Publications Banguet in May. Enjoying the use oi a brand new hie, where dummy and copy can be locked away from prying eyes, are top Narcissus brass. They are Barbara Parsons and Sally Wiltshire, co-editors-in-chief, and Logan Wernz, associate editor. We ' re almost finished, members of the business staff exclaim happily as they return from an ad-collec- tion expedition. Serving on the staff are Dale Landis. business manager; Gerrie-Anne Daly, assistant busi- ness manager; Linda McDaniel, assistant advertising manager; Kay Doty, advertising manager, and War- ren Angle, photographer. 79 Perfection is the goal for which all band members strive. Much preparation time was spent by the bandsmen, whether they prac- ticed for a half-time show or a concert, but they felt that their efforts were worthwhile after a responsive audience had shown its ap- proval. During the football season, the PHS band gave many outstanding performances at half- time. They were invited to Ball State to give a half-time show on High School Band Day. The band also performed at basketball games. To make the half-time shows more colorful, two special groups, the Tigerettes and Major- ettes, gave special performances with the band. Among these were a demonstration of the Twist, popular dance craze, and the annual Christmas show, complete with Santa, Santa ' s helpers, and Rudolph the Reindeer. The band also played in the annual Christ- mas and Spring concerts, and presented the Civil War Centennial Concert which helped raise money for the music department. A group of select members of the band, the Symphonic band, were featured in several of the concerts. Tim Noble and Ron Doucette, both members of the Peru High School Band, were among ninety students throughout the country who were chosen to play in the United States of America High School Band. This band will tour Europe and present about fifteen concerts in leading European cities. The boys will leave June 14 and come home July 7. Tim and Ron were selected on the basis of musical ability and scholarship. This band is sponsored by the First Chair of America, an honorary organiza- tion for the top bands in the United States.

Two of these groups were the Kiwanis Club and the Elks, for whom the Choir provided mu- sic at the annual Memorial Service in Decem- ber. Repeating a successful occasion of two years ago, the group planned an exchange concert with Logansport in April. The fifth period of every school day sees the Choir hard at work, rehearsing old and new numbers. Even though this select group must spend many such hours, the fun of singing to- gether more than makes up for the hard work. As usual, the Choir presented special pro- grams at both the Christmas and Thanksgiving auditoriums. Mr. James Noble is director.

Coach Bob Larson guided the football Bengals to a re- spectable 6-2-2 record, although they failed to defend successfully the conference cham- pionship. In the first game of the season the Tigs blast- ed Hartford City with everything but the goal post as they rolled over the hapless Airdales, 50-0. The score might have been considerably higher if Coach Larson had not emptied the bench for most of the last half. The Bengals then stopped an inspired Mon- ticello drive late in the game and won a 14 to 13 victory. The key to victory in this game was the Tigers ' ability to stop conference scoring champ Gary Bair in the second half. Next the Tigers traveled to Plymouth where they were held to a 0-0 stalemate by a fired-up band of Rockies. The Tigers were inside the Rockies ' 10-yard line twice but failed to score each time. They then bounced back and beat Ro- chester, 19 to 6, at Homecoming, in a game that was not as close as the score might indi- cate, as the Tigers could do everything but score against the Zebras. Then traveling to Wabash, the Tigers broke a 20-year jinx by beating them, 13 to 7. The Tigers were threat- ened by a strong passing attack. Then things seemed to fall apart for the Tig- ers as they were bombed by Logansport, 30-0, and then beaten by the eventual conference champs, Huntington, to the tune of 24 to 6. The Tiger defense, determined to make up for its failings in the previous two games, kept an extremely fast Tipton team in check, allow- ing the Tigs to win, 9 to 0. As Coach Robert Larson Gains Second Successful Season The Bengals were held to their second 0-0 tie of the year by Elwood in a game hard fought all the way. For the season finals, the Tigers stepped out ' of their conference and proved that all NCC teams are not infallible as they beat Marion 18 to 12. Thus the Peruvians finished the sec- ond straight season in which they won more games than they lost. Although there were a number of capable seniors, there were also many underclass grid- ders who helped to make the season what it was. Twelve lettermen will be returning next year. Tom Scott, who, as an end, ran end-ami mds like a halfback, counted for many valuable Tiger yards as well as throwing and catching passes. Given the Kiwanis Most Valuable Player Award, Tom, who finished high in the conference in points scored and yards gained, was also named to the All CIC team, and was chosen by his teammates as co-captain for the season. Ron Yard was given the Elks ' Past Exalted Ruler Award for the best defensive player of the year. Ron, an offensive halfback who played defense from the very difficult line- backer position, was also elected by his team- mates as co-captain. Jim Baber, a much improved sophomore de- fensive guard, was given the award for the most improved reserve. Jim narrowly missed earning his major letter as a twisted knee kept him from playing in the last two varsity games. Junior End Bill Abbey was named to the sec- ond CIC team.

I J$ Bengal B-Team Gridmen Win Two Games, Lose Four The B-team under the coaching of Norman Holmes experienced a disappointing season, winning only two while losing five. The vic- tories were over Wabash, 19 to 0, and North Manchester, 47 to 6, while the losses were to Kokomo, 25 to 13; Logansport, 6 to 0; Elwood, 27 to 7; Huntington, 21 to 19, and Plymouth, 7 to 0. The performance of the B-team was extreme- ly sporadic, as they sometimes played good football, and at other times forgot the basic fundamentals. One big factor was that most of the B-team also played on the varsity squad and thus were unable to practice as a unit and gain the much-needed polish. Many times after a poor first half the B-team would play on even or better than even terms with their opponents, only to find it was too late to re- trieve victory. The B-team was comprised of juniors and sophomores.

Hal set a new school record and was beaten only once dur- ing the regular season as well as placing first in the CIC meet and sixth in the Sectional.

The 1961-62 edition of Coach Bob Biddle ' s Tigers experienced a good season as they won 15 and lost 6 overall, but failed to defend either the CIC or Sectional crowns won last year. The first game of the year augured well for the season, for the Tigers took on and beat a good Muncie Burris team, which had already played five games. The score was 79 to 63. The Tigs then played Mishawaka, winning 55 to 47, and beat Hartford City to the tune of 92 to 60. The next game on the schedule could cer- tainly be classified as the high point of the sea- son, since the Bengals finally beat Logansport, 61 to 58, before a packed Tig- Arena. When the Tigers journeyed to Plymouth, they ran into an unexpectedly rough time, but final- ly came out on top of a 67 to 60 score over the stubborn Pilgrims. Back again on home grounds, the Tigers en- tertained Rochester, and after a lackadaisical first half, ran the Zebras off the floor, winning by a 94 to 48 count. However, after the Christmas vacation the Bengals suffered a distinct letdown as they hit the road on two successive nights and lost both games in listless battles, the first to Tipton, 5S to 65, the next to Fort Wayne Central by a 48 to 61 score. The Tigers recovered from their slump the next week-end when they thumped Elwood, 69 to 54, and when they were barely nosed out by a strong Michigan City team in a very good game, 60 to 62. However, the next game, with Huntington, found the Peruvians on the short end of a 61 to 66 score when the gun sounded. The loss to the Vikings seemed to snap the Biddlemen out of it, as they scalped the Wa- bash Apaches in their own gym, 75 to 65. Next the Tigers faced one of the roughest teams in the state, defending champion Koko- mo. Even though the Peruvians were beaten by 20 points, they actually played well, giving the Wildcats many bad moments before the game was over. Tom Scott, senior forward, was outstanding for the Tigers as he scored 34 points in this game. The final score was 60 to 80 in Kokomo ' s favor. Roaming down the home stretch, the Tigers showed a good Oak Hill team who was best by romping to a 62 to 41 win. When the Eastern Comets stepped out on the Tig-Arena floor, they were undefeated and fa- • 92 But Lose Conference and Sectional Crowns Won Last Year vored to stay that way, but when they walked off after an overtime, they had lost by a score of 54 to 52. The Biddlemen then copped vic- tories over Monticello, 72 to 62, and Indianap- olis Wood, 60 to 52. The final game of the season was with Alex- andria, declared Conference champions by virtue of Peru ' s losses at Tipton and Hunting- ton. The Bengals, however, proved the unpre- dictability of basketball by whipping the visit- ing Tigers, 62 to 49. In the Sectional the Tigers first rolled over North Miami, 71 to 58, and then slipped past Bunker Hill, 58 to 55. However, the Tigs were upset in the Championship tilt by a fired-up Clay Twp. quintet, 62 to 51. Scott, playing at forward, climaxed four years on the varsity with a 21 -point per game average. A good rebounder, he was also one of the team ' s best defensive men. Big Rich Newhouse, also a four-year man who played at the forward position, showed many an opponent what rebounding was all about with his fierce under-the-basket play. Rich also added his share of points. Two other seniors, Dan VanTreese and Ron Yard, held down the guard positions. Danny was extremely fast and accurate, breaking many a game wide open with his jump-shots or driving lay-ins. Ron gave the kind of help that sometimes goes unnoticed but is none-the- less valuable.

The Tiger bench look interested, too with Manager Lee Holmes peering from his full height. Surrounded by four Muncie Burris players, Ron Yard, senior guard, brings the ball out safely. Ron, playing his second year on the varsity as a regular, did not score many points, but was valuable for his floor play. Scott, Yard, Newhouse Win Ann ual Basketball Awards Finishing four years of varsity basketball competi- tion, Tom Scott was chosen honorary captain of the 1961-62 basketball Tigers. He also received recogni- tion for the year ' s best free throw average. Rich Newhouse, varsity forward, was the winner of the Kiwanis Most Improved Player award. A commit- tee of coaches and athletic administrators selects the recipients of this and other such awards. The Hopper Award, which went to Ron Yard, is pre- sented on the basis of mental attitude, scholarship, and other qualities of an outstanding athlete. Ron, who started almost every game, played guard. i ' l ' l Members of the B-team, which started the season slowly but improved steadily, are as follows: Kneeling: Glenn Borden, Jim Fry, Ted Comerford, Don Hostetler.

Berkshire ' s Young Tigers Gain Experience During 6-12 Season Although the 1961-62 B-team could amass only six wins against twelve losses, the season was not quite as bad as the record might indi- cate. Coach Berkshire ' s young Tigers got off to a poor start, and it looked like a long season. The Cubs just couldn ' t win a game as repeat- edly they saw substantial early leads melt away. Several games were lost by margins of only two or three points. Then with the help of varsity players Bob Mangene and Jerry Bradley the B-team gained victories over Plymouth and Rochester. After several shifts in line-up, the Cubs started to roll, playing good basketball on their own. They garnered additional victories over Monti- cello, Oak Hill, Indianapolis Wood, and Wa- bash. Outstanding for the Cubs were Glenn Bor- den and Jim Fry. Junior Glenn Borden drives around an opponent from Alexandria as Sophomore Don Hostetler stands by. Glenn was one of the top scorers and rebounders for the inexperienced B-team. 95 . Grapplers Win Two and Lose Ten, But Gain Experience Putting the finishing touches on a West Lafayette opponent, Ray Ege, senior grappler, registers a pin as the referee checks shoulders. Ray was a consistent winner for the Peru wrestlers. Coach Bob Larson ' s wrestlers experienced a rather poor season as they managed to win only two matches while losing ten for the sea- son. This poor record can be attributed chiefly to a lack of experience, since only one letter- man, Ray Ege, was back, and there were only two other returnees with any varsity experi- ence at all. In fact, several varsity positions were filled by freshmen. One high point of the season was the four- way tournament at New Haven, where the Tigers placed a strong second, ahead of two teams that had previously beaten them.

Track Team Has Good Year Under New Coach Berkshire A much-improved track team, under new Coach Brentis Berkshire, finished the season with three wins and two losses, and placed third in the Delphi Relays, fourth in the Roches- ter Relays, and second in a six-way meet at Culver Military Academy. In the Sectional meet, the Tigers qualified for the Regionals four field events men: Randy Geyer in the high jump, Phil Newhouse in the shot put, and Ronnie Yard and Jim Spohn in the pole vault. Randy and Phil advanced to the State meet. Geyer broke his own high jump record, up- ping the mark to 6 feet 2 7 s inches, and New- house also broke his own record in the shot put with a toss of 53 feet 5V2 inches. The team excelled in all four field events and although the runners started off poorly, the boys worked hard and were soon adding points of their own. A picture of determination, Gerald Sherrick is shown winning the broad jump in the CIC track meet. Ger- ald was also one of the best sprinters in the confer- ence as well as being an outstanding broad-jumper. : ' 7 SCOREBOARD Team PHS Opp. Delphi .. 49 60 Logansport 58 51 Tipton 44 65 Elwood 65 39 Three-Way Meet Wabash, 31; Plymouth, 45; Peru, 65.

Although the Tigers were experienced, they were still relatively young as only three sen- iors, John Atkinson, Mike Warder, and Mike Redmon, were lost by graduation, leaving bright prospects for the future of Coach Jack Craycraft.

Kay Doty and Diane Halley are doing the splits while Joe Beauchamp and Sam Phil- lipy support Gerrie-Anne Daly, who waves from the top of the pyramid. Many hours of practice on new routines as well as work with the yell block laid the foundation for the impressive showing made at football and basketball games. Kay Doty is the only graduat- ing senior among this year ' s yell leaders.

All hopefully look forward to the day whe they will be varsity yell leaders. 101 Noon Leaguers Provide Entertainment and Excitement for All The winners ol the Noon League season as well as Hettwer, and Rich Maggart, all co-captains. Back row: the tournament are: Front row: Logan Wernz, John Tom Wyneken, Bob Smalley, Lee Holmes. This year the Noon League program under Mr. Biddle was revised. First of all, any boy could organize a team as long as his group in- cluded seven players with no more than three from one class. Also this year there were two fifteen-minute games each day, with no jump balls or foul shots and a three-foul limit on players. As far as real competition was concerned, there wasn ' t a great deal as the team co-cap- tained by Logan Wernz, John Hettwer, and Rich Maggart literally ran away with both the League and the tournament titles. In the first round the only team to beat the winners was captained by Alvia Smith. However, that team had already lost one game and a playoff was necessary, which Wernz ' s team won handily. They then breezed through the next two rounds without any trouble at all. When the tourna- ment started, it was actually no contest, since no team came within eight points of them. Warming up for the championship game of the Noon League tournament, Logan Wernz shoots over the hands of Rich Maggart for two points. Rich was the leading scorer in the tournament with a 20-point av- erage; Logan was second high with 13. Hi:: Resting before a game, the Pepeties are seen in a moment of unusual quiet, for they supplied plenty of push behind the varsity at games this year. They are arranged according to the color of their blouses to form a P. They also prepared silhouettes of the team members for the tourney. Newly Formed Pepette Club Adds Sparkle to Contests M-m, good! says Judy Gladden as she samples a cookie offered by Mrs. Holmes just before the bake sale sponsored by the Pepettes. Proceeds from the sale were used to buy equipment for the yell block.. One of the big topics for criticism around PHS in the past few years has been the appar- ent lack of spirit at basketball games. Another sore point has been the lack of a colorful cheer block such as other schools had. This year, however, the talking stopped and action start- ed. Mrs. Carol Holmes, who had been a cheer- leader during her school days, took over the sponsorship of the yell leaders and the forming of an effective yell block. First of all, the varsity yell leaders went to a cheerleading clinic held at I.U. in the fall, where they learned many new and attractive yells and techniques. Then Mrs. Holmes went to work getting a pep club formed. Approxi- mately one hundred and twenty girls joined the new club, which they named the Pepettes. The girls raised money for equipment such as shakers by having a bake sale. Members of the block gave up many home room periods and practiced after school in order to present a fine showing for PHS.

J XfrvA. 1 143 Now we are beginning to live a little and feel less like sick oysters at low tide, quote Barbara Parsons, co-editor-in-chief; Mrs. Keith, adviser; Sally Wiltshire, co-editor-in-chief, and Logan Wernz, associate editor, as they sit stunned, their desk cleared of the last bit of copy. We Finish --- A Wiser Three For alJ the years to come, we have prepared an annual whic h we hope will encompass the highlights of PHS during this past school year. From July until May we worked to produce the best Narcissus possible. We have enjoyed the work; we hope our readers enjoy our book. We extend a great big thanks to Mr. Bill Manmiller and Mr. Ernie Aukschun, of the Peru Sentinel Printing Company, for all the help they have given throughout the year. Without them, publishing this Narcissus would have been next-to-impossible. Our thanks also to Mr. Jack Bundy, of the S. K. Smith Company, without whose help we could not have de- signed the cover — to Mr. Charles Mueller, of the Ropkey Engraving Company, who super- vised the engraving of our pictures and stayed cheerful in spite of last minute changes — and to Mr. John Waltz, photographer, who never ut- tered an unkind word as he ran from one end of the building to the other on tho se snapping expeditions. We also thank Principal Earl Delph for allow- ing us to get out of class to take pictures — Mr. Philip Fox, for handling circulation matters and giving us expert advice — Mrs. Alice Moon and her typing classes for typing the circulation lists — Mrs. Mary Tresch, for mimeographing the subscription cards — Ed Gebhart, for man- ning the paper cutter — and the advertisers for helping finance the book. One person whom we cannot thank enough is our sponsor, Mrs. Keith. To us she has been a friend as well as an adviser. Without her tireless work this book would not have taken shape. Now We Are Three is more of a reality to us because of the experiences the three of us have shared in producing this book.
