Since then this iri't 1- tution has tr� rwi ed wonderfully in growl h, due ’argely to his un'iring efforts to give the students the very beat that could be offered, being never too busy to help the discouraged student.

And paint it with colors true. I would spend my time in work subtime Painting old Peru. I would paint those hills and valleys, These fields with their «olden sheaves. The little squirrel with his swish and whirl. Those beautiful autumn leaves. Those kin«s of the stalely forest, Monarchy of apes past. Those rugged hills those rocks and rills. God «rant they may always last. We mix our earthly colors And call our paintings good; But the tied above with heart of love Slakes colors that no man could. Ho has taken the rarest colors, Tlie gems of heavenly blue. And painted a picture in nature. We call that picture Peru. 21 J. W. SKAR50N Literature It -hold him, ye people! TW man of affair� � .

The senior class is fortunate indeed in securing Hon. William J. Rryan for class orator. It is hardly necessary to mention the prominence of Mr. Bryan as his political campaigns, battles and ideals have won him a place in the hearts of the people and recorded his name as one of America's most illustrious statesmen. Mr. Bryan, the politician, is especially known for his purity of character. He Stands as an example of the fact that a man can enter politics and still retain his purity and greatness of character, t he most deadly iiolitical opponents of Mr.' Bryan admire him as a man and be- lieve in his honesty and sterling worth. When Mr. Bryan was stumping the state in the recent gubernatorial campaign he visited Peru and de- livered an educational address which demonstrated him to be a great edu- cator and a deep thinker in educational as well as political lines. It is said that graduation day is a sad one for the graduate out the class orator and class oration will recompense the class of 07 in no slight degree for the sad thought of leaving our Alma Mater. MU VERNON HALL Ladies’ Dormitory THE REV MR. 1 P. ROACH Who has been chosen to preach the Baccalaureate Sermon to the Class of 1907, is one of the best Pulpit Orators in the Slate of Nebraska. He is a man who is heartily in touch and sympathy with college life. While in the Pastorate at Boise, Idaho, he was vitally connected with the State University of that commonwealth. From here he was called to St. Paul's Church. Lincoln, N«br„ where he is doing: efficient work. He is a thinker, a scholar, a close student of the problems that confront the young man or woman as they take up life’s work, and is an orator. The members of the Class of 1907 count themselves fortunate in being able to secure Rev. Mr. Roach upon this occasion. 1 1 tv aU Kg Ut titJtA U. ( AMI.MiS C. P. BECK Mathematics J. M.

They're sure to kindle flame; But the only combination That makes our voting hearts light, As we slog with adoration. Is the pale blue and the white. Through the four long years of college, Mid the scenes we love so welt. While the mystic charm Of know lege We vainly seek to spell: Or we win our mental victories. As we strive with all our might. We will ne’er forget the pleasures Of the pale blue mid the white. When the cares of life o’er take ns. Mingling fast our locks of gray. And our dearest hopes forsake us. False fortunes fade away: Still we banish care and sadness. As we think of hours so bright. And recall those days of gladness ’Neath the pale blue and the white.

I'd spend my time in work sublime Painting old Peru, - Barton, may climb the green-clad hills of Vermont and call them beautiful; you may stand and see in the distance the snow-capped mountains of our western states, and be held speechless by their grandeur; you may take a look at the magnificent Niagara and hear its mighty roar; or you may sit in the cool evening breeze and gaze out u|wn the glorious Gulf; but if you have not stood u| on the campus at Peru, then beauty has not presented itself to you in its real light. Was there ever a campus more picturesque, one more satisfying to the eye or more pleasing to the spirit. As your eye wanders to the open valley to the north you see the majes- tic Missouri as it wanders and meanders on its mystic way to the briny deep. To the northwest is the famous old hill Pike's Peak to which each student must repair and with which he must become acequainted lie fore he has done the town. And then we must not forget our good old coal mine. You have certainly missed a part of your college life if you have not invest igated this phenomenon of ours. It has become famous as the destination of many of our picnics, if not in other lines. And lastly, but not least 1 will simply mention the name of the jwith of love and happiness, Lovers Lane. It needs no explanation, you’ve all been there. Innumerable such places might be named and elaborated upon, but 1 will simply say. Come to Peru, see for yourself, look and believe.

It was in this favorable en- vironment of wooded hills and shaded streets, of shining spires and halls of learning that she grew to womanhood. She graduated from its fine hijrh school and after teaching a year in a country school of Saline county, came back to it as a grade teacher, teach- ing in succession the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Miss Afcsa- mit’a progressive spirit is shown in (hat she took every means of broaden- ing her education. Her future occu- pation is as yet undecided, but that she will fill worthily whatever posi- tion she may be called to, there is no doubt. Lillian Mae Allan of North Bend, Nebraska, is a native Nebraskan, and began her earthly ex- istence sometime in the nineteenth century. Being of Scotch-English de- scent, she possesses many sterling qualities, one of which is her sunny disposition. Her early education was completed in the country' school. Later she entered the State Normal School at Peru, and has had the per- severance and courage to endure untc the end. Three years she played the rale of a school ma'am in the rural schools of Dodge county. Industrious by nature, when not engaged in teaching her time was taken up by domestic duties. Her future occupa- tion is undecided but her household proclivities give us an indication of what it may be. Charles G.

After graduating from the Dveorah Institute, his ambitions led him into the wilds of Rock county, Nebraska, Here he was so successful in his work that he soon owned and operated a ranch. Seven- teen years of this life decreed n change of occupation. That of a school master seemed most enticing. He taught five years after which he entered the Normal as a Junior. Mr. Ammon in his quiet way will make things move and we predict trreat suc- cess for him. Elda Fern Bacon came to the romantic little town of Crab Orchard, Nebraska, October 10, 1882, The Scotch-English tempera- ment was directed into right chan- nels at first thru the influence of Prairie Glen country school. This education was supplemented by the Cambridge High School, which ten- dered a diploma to this enterprising girl. Donne Academy's doorway admitted her, whence .she departed two yeans later carrying its seal of completion. Interspersing this career of a light hearted High School and College girl was thirty four months of giving out instruction in and about Cambridge. Mis� bacon is a typical American girl, and her future success is an undisputed fact. Elsie Davis Bacon was born February 27, 1887, at Crab Orchard, Nebraska. After graduat- ing from the Cambridge High School this maiden made her debut in the Peru Normal. Along with her educa- tion in books she learned the royal womanly art of helping mother. Her future occupation is teaching school in which wo wish her the greatest success. Ada M. Bahner The beautiful city of Crete, Nebr„ has been the home of Ada M, Bahner since March 12, lS7y, This miss early exhibited striking characteristics indicative of a rapidly broadening in- tellect, Every tendency was care- ‘VI tweet An fA i n M pe� n-iuhIK riiAUtiKu . 51 llttlt iltiJ - i-A-rV, iiksuIohiK. WINfCKt nn«t. fully watched ami guarded by fond parent� , Every opportunity that presented itself was grouped by this child. Hence, when alluring bits of knowledge were scattered from Crete' school . Ada was among the moat active in appropriating her share. This activity was an import- ant factor in her High School career at Crete; it has since characterized her wherever she has been. Ten years of teaching, wearing the dazzling crown of success ha been hers to enjoy. Six of those were spent in her home town. Her sterling traits arc reflected In all her work. iHrs. l.orena Strict' Beebe The autumn day of ’0� brought to our hall a stately, yet friendly lady from Omaha. Ncbr. She entered with a willingness to work and win in every undertaking, and so she ha thniuut the year. As a graduate of the Omaha High school she com- menced teaching, «pending four years in Springfield, live at Valley, and one at Benson, Thia work was very suc- cessful. but Air . Beebe, true to her progressive spirit came to Peru for one year to better her equipments for teaching. When she returns to the ‘VI tfmng Mat nj ttHk lo run 4 rwc —HASH. profession it will be in such spirit that naught but good can result, Abi Elizabeth Bey non A quiet air, a quiet dignity, a quiet grace which well doth show the cul- ture of her ancient race. This Welch maiden was born September 18. 1887. at Lindsey, Nebraska, She was educated in the public schools of Wyrnore and is a graduate of the High School of that place. Miss Bey- non taught for one year in Wymore before coming to the Normal. 52 If 'iat am imtelltet Ihate; Cod help me to be Ahw ’—umtltRr.T. Charles Emile Benson This forcible character has vigor- ously asserted his rights since Sept. 9, 1881. He carried his books to var- ious schools during his youth among which are the Odell H. S.. Fremont Normal and the State University. He is an alumni of the Odell High School. Thru his desire to become a pedagogue, the innocents in rural districts suffered torture. Later he tried a step higher upon the educa tional ladder and became principal of Upland schools, keeping this position two years. Another venture landed him in the superintendency of the city schools of Chelan, Washington. His most noted characteristic is his ability to talk upon any occasion. He also has class spirit to burn. We graciously commend him to the care of the fates. J. Wade Bi.xby In the month of May one score of years ago a little boy heard a trilling bird. He thought about it. remem- bered it. Thru the years of ch tIdhood and early school days it lingered in his mind. When the full import of its meaning broke upon friends, Mr. '■ ,- ineorrigibt sporting Jukhmam osm Bixby became a cornetist who had mastered his art. In the meantime the Normal was training in other phases of education. This one lead- ing faculty supplemented so ably by Normal training will make him a power in his sphere throughout the future, Lucy Blankenship Lucy came to us from Edgar. Ne- braska, She landed in Peru talking, and has talked ever since, for she is a “Woman of many words.” She can't remember just where she was edu- cated but she feels that she has some 53 'U it r doft r Mtf to b knowledge, for she graduates this year with high honors. For one year she shaped and moulded the plastic minds of District No, 5-1. Clay county. We feel that her training wilt show in future years. Her future occupation is still open, and until she decides she will while the lonely hours away by teaching, George William Blessing February 21 ISS5, this diadem made known his presence at Middle- moved west and settled in the well known town of Auburn Nebraska, and there began his education. This work intermingled with “type-pick- ing” as he stood upon a box. Time has made this extra work a speciality. He spends much time training his argumentative nature preparatory to his future work of dealing out justice to whom justice is due. The remain- der of time is spent in campus work preparatory to making later life bear- able. town, Maryland, Desiring more room than the crowded oast offered, he Ruth G, Brandt was born in a log cabin on the west- ern plains of Nebraska. When Ruth was fifteen years of age, she went to Unadilla, where she entered High School, Her parents moved thither the following year, and Ruth con- tinued her studies until 1900. when she w as graduated. With the desire to finish her education and become professor of English in Harvard, she entered the State Normal School at Peru and completed the four years course offered there. In the mean- time she went riding with all the pretty boys she could and enjoyed herself generally, thinking of how dig- nified she would have to be when she became a teacher in Harvard. These hopes have been unrealized, however, and she is now holding down a school of one on the plains of Colorado, Mary Laura Burgess began this struggle thru life Febru- ary G, 1KS4, in Rising City, Butler County, Nebraska.

She, of course, will bo placed among the experienced teachers, having taught for three long months. She intends to continue leading tittle urchins over the atony |atth of knowledge. In the future we expect to see her one of the leading educators of the state. Wiley Glen Brooks Many talents in many lines are found in our ranks, but none of which appeal to us more strongly than the Godly gift of a lieautiful voice. A voice which causes care to take a hasty departure and a restful sensa tion to fill its place, Such ha been in training in various ways by the subject of this sketch since October 24. 1882. Other faculties were rec- ognized thru the Baltimore High School of Ohio and later by Baker University of Kansas. Fields in Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska have offered practice. Since his debut into the Normal Mr. Brooks, commonly known as Wear Glasses Books'’has been an ardent worker in our leading depart- ments, This fact with his high scholarship will insure success for future work. Fowler Adelphi Brooks This praiseworthy individual has made his presence felt since January 16.1885,thru an energetic, enthusiastic nature.

Marie E. Chambers On the 28th of December, about si duo-decade after the freeing of the slaves, took up her abode near West Point, Nebraska. She possesses the blood characteristics of some of our most noted men. that of Scotch-Irish. She was educated and graduated from the West Point Schools. She dreams and plans to attend the Uni- versity, but her friends fear her dreams will be directed in some other path. Four happy years have been spent in teaching school in the home county. Various occupations have been pur- sued: making fudge, training a class how to laugh beautifully, and enter- taining others, that they may forget their sorrows. She is still a denizen of West Point, but as to how long she will thus remain, only time and Marie can tell. Cora Clark made her debut into this world near the little town of Reserve, Kansas, December 15. 188b. She attended school in the village, graduating from the High School there. From there, she came to the Peru Normal, where she has completed the Kindergarten Ax i full of tart - M1KKIK m'aoam . Course. From her sweet, modest manner we prophesy a successful pri- mary teacher and one who will Jove the children and win their love in re- turn. Ruby Geneva Clark came to us from the Sunflower stale. She received the greater part of her education in her native state, having graduated from the Reserve Public School and the Hiawatha Academy in the class of '01.

His educa- tion began to be unloaded upon him in his early days at the Wesleyan Academy. However he saw tit to make himself known as one of the youngsters of University Place. Upon having to l� e removed from Univer- sity Place, he was taken to Kails City to make a new start. He came to us as a Junior from the Falls City High School. We received him gladly and have endeavored to trans- form him from a sinner to a historian He has strewn a great deal of star- dust upon the door of our debating platform. His only desire for the future is to have a full dinner pail. Annie AJ„ Theodosia Cogil was Iwrn at Central City some time during the past century. Her educa- tion has been guided by such agencies as the Central City school system and the Lincoln Normal University from both of which she has graduated with high honor. Her work in the teach- ing profession has been rewarded by success. Two years were spent as principal at Archer, Nebraska, four years in the grammar grades; at Clarks, Nebraska, and four years as principal of the Field school in Colum- bus, Nebraska, The future surely demands no bettor record than the past has revealed. With thorough conscientious work as a stepping stone, the very best results the world can offer will be for her. Gertrude Coon was born in the month of spring showers in the year 1SS1 at the beautiful city of Red Cloud. Nebras- ka. Thisshv timid maiden has never been far from home having spent the ‘A Aiivr i (hr c hi'khiv 5 ) My hfart it a icttyi at your trptt —SSS j.vmkh. childhood and practically all of her school days in Red Cloud, After graduation from High School she spent two years in training the child- ren of Webster county, R� -d Cloud's grades beckoned her and three success- ful years were spent there, A high- er position opened and Miss Coon spent two years as an instructor in Oxford High School. As a conscien- tious industrious student, Miss Coon has no rival. This characteristic, taken with what the past has reveal- ed insures fortune’s smiling counten ance as a guide thru future fields of work. Anna Belle DeBoer In the famous nineteenth century far from the home of her sturdy an- cestor. Peter Stuyvcstant, Anna De- Boer opened her big blue eyes in the town of Cornell. III. She not only pleased her parents hut made many a teacher rejoice by her ready answers and winning ways and many n village swain's heart beat faster as the little maid tripped innocently by. Longing for the freedom of the w-ost she came to Fairmont and became a teacher of some note. Her, vacations were spent in domestic duties. Hav- ing no due to her future occupation wo may suppose the proficient work of her vacations is preparatory' to some subsequent labor. Carrie May Dieterich That is what we call her now% hut it has been rumored that a gentle spirit forbids it always shall bo such.

Having exhausted the supply at that place, she joined the ranks of the Wa at Peru. Here her work has been of very high credit to her former school training. She will wield the pedagogical wand for a few years in the near future. Her success is not to he questioned for Miss Dunham does not know the word fail. Grace Wilbur Dillon was born in Juniata. Nebraska, in 1879, She attended the public schools of this place until her parents moved to Crote. Here she completed the High School course. The two follow- ing years were spent in primary’ work at Pleasant Hill. Coming to the Normal and completing the Trainer’s course she returned to play the role of primary teacher of Crete which she did successfully until her advent at the Normal to finish the higher course. She has not fully decided w hat course she will pursue after her work here, but with her musical ability and her domestic tastes we are assured that her hands will not long remain idle.

The high school at hnt place ten- dered her its diploma and Miss Kosa determined to test her ability as a teacher. Five years were success- fully spent in various places in Polk, Seward ami York counties. Her training at the Normal has been in the lines of a primary teacher. Her friends wish her the best this life offers in any work she assumes. Wesley Lewis Dun ten was horn near the village of Pleasant Dale, Seward county. Nebraska, Sep- tember 26. 1878. He is a bright and brilliant young man who has grown up and developed amid the beautiful vetdture of Seward county hill� . His early life wa spent farming and at- tending a district school. Later he joined the ranks of the Normalites and graduated with the training class of UKK2. After exercising his element- ary certificate to its utmost, he re- turned to Peru joining the class of '07. He has been a faithful member of Cicero Society and a worker in the Y. M.C. A. If future events do not change his outlook he will be a professional in the teaching ranks.

Miss Erickson is a girl from western climes, who came to us with the west- ern spirit of work. Her studious habits and thorough eJTicient work, here is an index of future results. We are sure Miss Erickson will meet with success such that she may con- sider it reward for many hours of patient toiling. of four happy years in High School. She has the versatility, the vivacity andgaityof her people. Other char- acteristics are great tenacity of pur- pose (on occasions) and the golden habit of silence. Her skill in art and athletics must not be neglected. In tennis she has no peer. In fact we prophesy that her life will be devoted to work in her favored pur- suits, We wish her joy Margaret Fedde Elizabeth Fearon Among the naughty seven from old Omaha is our piquant blue eyed Eliza- beth.

Addy Helen Jones First began to make thing's lively for her parerts and others, July 1, 1887. at Urownville, Nebraska. Her chief aim in life has been, and is to amuse herself and incidentally others. Her parents affirm that .he succeed- ed very well in early life and in- structors in Auburn High School would further corroborate the state- ment. One glance at her smiling countenance will assure you that her affinity for a good time has not yet been completely submerged in the cares of life. As she succeeded so well tn amusing herself when small and she yet remains small, w-e predict that, in the kindergarten, she will be able to amuse other small people. Loyette Laverne Kinney Since November 30. 1884, the world has been made happier by the aid of this lassie of Scotch and German descent. Verdon, Nebraska, claims her as a native. Her intellectual training was received in the rural and Blue Springs schools, and for two years following her graduation she taught in the rural schools. She claims to have had practical experi- ence in domestic science and garden making. During her two years in the Normal she has been a very active worker in the Y. W. C.

Her parents came to America and eventually settled in Fnirbury, Nebraska. 'Twas here the greater part of school days were spent. The work was taken at Western Nor mal after which four years were spent in teaching. This educational drift was relieved by the work of clerking in a department store in her home town. Prior to coming to the Normal Miss Lambftrt attended the Michigan State Normal at Ipsilanti. Her future work will be in the German depart- ment of the High Schools for which she is admirably fitted.

Karly days marked the development of Scotch-Irish char- acteristics, When time decreed that this dark-eyed miss should seek a place of learning, it was in the schools at Madison, Nebraska, thal the first lessons were learned. Steadily and surely the ladder was climbed and after many happy yet anxious days the coveted High School diploma was received. This was followed with three years of teaching, one in Madi- son county and two in the public schools of the city of Madison. Miss I,onneker’s plans are mapped along the lines of High School work.

William C. Xoll Has an existence which dates back to July 17, 1881. The tinge that Cor- num-English blood gives is plainly visible in the strictly business-like manner with which he handles all cases. His degree of education is shown by the texts of most difficult Latin masters which he carries about with the air of one who is conqueror. The institutions of learning at Ord. also York College may be highy com- plimented upon their work if such as Mr. Noll is their finished product. Two years of teaching have aroused interest enough in the work to foster a desire to carry it on. His name will not long be an unmeaning word when he is fairly launched.

Her education was acquired in widely different institutions, among which are the Nebraska schools of Douglas. Talmage and Julian, the Oklahoma school at Watonga and the Now York school at Tracy Creek. This record was crowned by her attendance at the Normal where she has disclosed re- markable ability in Latin discourse and in literature interpretations.

And it came to pass in the third year of the reign of James [Crabtree] the kingdom was established and strengthened thereof: 2. And it came to pass in the first month of that year, the children of Israel [seniors] gathered them- selves together and journeyed to the King, 3. Whereupon they numbered twice four score mighty men of valor. I. And they entered into a covenant to seek James jScarson] their high priest, ;■� . And when they found him they cried out with a loud voice ami with shouting and with trumpets, and all Israel [seniors] rejoiced. 6. Also they carne together in the chamber of the high priest and chose John [Woodard] as their leader. 7. And it came to pass as they girded themselves with mighty arms, they straightway marched into the temple of the King and there was great noise in all the land, 8. And there came out against them the Philistines [juniors] and sought to slay them but the mighty men of Israel [seniors] bare shields, and drew' bows, one hundred fifty nine; all these were mighty in valour. S, And they smote the Philistines [Juniors] before the land, and the Philistines fled. 10, Moreover after six days the children of Israel departed on their journey to the land of Goshen, U. And behold some tarried in the land of Goshen ninety days, and some an hundred eighty days, 12. And it came to pass that some of Israel suffered many plagues in the land thereof, 13. Yea, the queen of that land was a mighty and powerful queen. 14. And the people of Israel humbled themselves before her and said, we pray thee, do not pour out thy wrath upon a righteous people. 15. Hut the queen answered and said, in the day of judgment it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah, than for thee. 0, Israel. 16. Morever on the thirty-first day of the second month, the people of Israel were captured and east into the infernal regions of Pluto to remain three hours, 17. Whereupon they saw men walking with heads like unto leasts, and they looked upon men possessed of evil spirits, and heard the roar of Hons. 18. And the Children of Israel humbled themselves and cried out, be merciful to us as sinners. 19. Thereupon the chains of bondage broke and Israel went on her way rejoicing. 20. Now’ when the twentieth day of the fourth lVf gvudjr tirru u %igrn ir ai -u( ii.v luiiHJSsgi, 198 '■ «rw.vrw.v taJ NH t ty'—XXJk month had come, every man of Israel journeyed to his native city, and feasted there fourteen days. 21. Then when the fourteen days of feasting were passed away, the children of Israel again returned, to the land of King James [Crabtree, 1 22. But Mary and Margaret, fair daughters of Israel, returned not with the others but journeyed afar off and remained four score and seven days in a heathen nation. 23. Also Ray [Cates] and Earl [Hadscll], mighty men of valour among Israel, went into far countries and set up kingdoms of their own. 24. Moreover Charles [Benson] one of the sons of Israel journeyed into a far country and married him- self a wife. 25 Thereupon Israel waxed exceedingly and found favor in the sight of all nations, [c, g. junior� , third years, trainers, etc.] 2G, And it came to pass at the beginning of the sec- ond half of that year, many of the children of Israel were called into the temple of the King. 27. And the King said, thy yoke is too heavy: make thou it somewhat lighter. 2X. But some would not harken unto the voice of King James, 29. And it came to pass in the day of judgment that the King answered some saying, what portion have ye? Ye have none inheritance among the people of Israel: get thee to the Philistines, 30. Moreover in the seventh month of that year the Philistines held a great feast for the Israelites, and the tables were spread with honey from the honey comb and the flowers and the tongs were all of gold. 31. Now the wall between the Israelites and Philis- tines fell down and they dwelt in peace for forty days, 32. And it came to pass that Israel assembled before the high priest and said, 0, James [Scarson] high priest of all Israel, thy people desire a book of prophecy [annual] therefore let u� choose scribes that they may write for us a book of prophecy, and James answered, it is well. 33. There was war again wdth the Philistines, and James the high priest said unto Israel, be of good cour- age and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people. 34. And a mighty man of Israel drew his sword and slew' the giant of the Philistines and they were sub- dued. 35. It came to pass that fifteen scribes were chosen from Israel, and the scribes hid themselves for forty days, and when they came from their hiding place, the great book was handed to Israel. “ f kfr f ftW A l� A Ha II SKIS. 109 '.

And it came to pass that after the year was expired, the people of Israel went before King James [Crabtree] and said, we go to become kings and queens of many nations; we implore thee, when we depart hence that thou wilt divide this country among the Philistines. ‘40.

Tiiis play is the most popular of all plays «riven by Normal schools. This was indeed a most fitting cli- max for our year's work. The cast of characters consisted of seventeen men and four ladies chosen with the greatest care, so that each one was fitted for the place he or she held. Miss Walhstrom as Rosalind and Mr. Hurst as Orlando made star players. Mr. Penny also did things, Mrs. Nettleton deserves special mention and thanks for her tireless efforts in training the members who took part in this, one of the best of Shakespears' productions. •V tu a u ft rma.tktJ hit Iht j r i« eilif ss - lK.va ihiu i , M3 t I it tar tt i � ft f ml amtntten - Lit. i JAni.KI; SENIOR BASKET BALL TEAM.

KINDERGARTEN SENIORS An arclous task hangs on her who would proclaim the history of the KindeiprUn Seniors of 1907, hut like Sir Luunfnl. “She has taken her vow And never a bed for her shall be spread Or a pi How put under her head. Until she baa kept her vow. The class was organized in Room A, September. 1906. We were Juniors then, twenty in number, and with a very promising future. Rein Juniors we were obliged to sit back and observe those noble Seniors put into practice what they had learned in their Junior year. On the whole the Junior year was a very pleasant, though hard one. We were all glad when June ushered in vacation time, but we were equally as anxious to come back to work when September came again. This time we came with different feelings, different aspirations and higher ideals than the year before, for we were to be Seniors, and the time had come when we would instruct and inspire the minds of those little people, who some day will be leaders in education and government. We found ourselves in new quarters, for the Kinder- garten room was no longer in the basement but oc- cupied a bright, sunny room on the first floor. Our first introduction to it was not very pleasant but after a few days work under the careful management of our leader, it became very inviting and homelike. The first morning presented a happy scene, for the children were as glad to get hack as the teachers were to have them. Thus our Senior year began. Our teaching brought us valuable criticism from our beloved critic. Miss Hosmer; we will realize this more fully when kittling alone. Socially our Senior year has been a success. In the fall the Seniors entertained the .Juniors with a water- melon party in the Kindergarten room. Later the Juniors returned the compliment by giving a Hallow e'en celebration in honor of the Seniors. This also was given in the Kindergarten room, for we ail feel more at home there, than in any other place in the Normal. When we met as Seniors a few of our number did not return with us, leaving only twelve but these were interested and enthusiastic over their work. At Thanksgiving time a thirteenth joined us. It is usually understood that thirteen is unlucky, but we have proved it otherwise. One feature remains in our Senior year, namely, graduation to which we all look forward, and after which we will be prepared to launch out into the Kinder- garten world of usefulness.

THE JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION On the evening of March twenty-third the Seniors responded to the hearty invitation of the Junior class and assembled in the chapel where a pleasant sur- prise had been arranged for them- The chapel stage vtm transformed to a Hall of Fame and each Junior represented some famous character in our world’s his- tory offset and fiction. It was an entertainment of artistic interest. The costumes were elegant. The procession of court ladies and gentlemen was a splen- did picture to look upon, us well as that roost queenly queen. The drill by the Grecian robed Juniors was a graceful scene,—and so was it all. even to the pretty little lassies who came at the hist calk As the dnuna dosed, the guests were invited to the gymnasium. Another most pleasant surprise awaited them. The Gymnasium seemed to have been touched by a fairy's wand and changed to a magnificent reception hall. An informal reception occupied the remainder of the evening, while the screened orchestra played most beautiful music to add to our merriment. Orange sherbet was served nt booths decorated in Senior class colors. The Juniors deserve much credit for the very pleasant evening they afforded their guests, and the Seniors will forever remember it, as one of the most delightful events during their life at Peru Nor- mal. This informal reception idea was an innovation in- troduced by the Juniors this year. The faculty mem- bers wore guests of honor. The vocabulary of the Senior class is not sufficient to express in words the pleasure it enjoyed from Ihe hospitality of the Junior class on this evening, which is always pleasantly anti- cipated by every Senior class in the State Normal.

MIAXKVFK1.T NEW IMPROVEMENTS There could certainly be no better proofs of the Normal’ growth and prosperity, than the beautiful new buildings, which have in the near past, been erected upon its campus. Several years ago the fact began to be apparent that the buildings were not adequate to accommodate the constantly increasing number of students. Laboratories and class rooms were crowded, the need of a gymnasium was strongly felt, and there was no room large enough to serve as a chapel. The State came to the aid of this congestion and on May M, 1005, the new chapel and gymnasium building was dedicated. The gymnasium is eighty-four by one hundred and ten feet with a ceiling twenty feet high, affording ample room for basket ball and other indoor sports. It is provided with bath rooms, closets and locker rooms and is thoroughly equipped for indoor athletics. The chapel is by far the largest assembly room owned by the State as it seats comfortably sixteen hundred people. The members of the Fortnightly Art Club have un- dertaken the decoration of the chapel, and the success of their effort thus far is shown by the beautiful re- production of the frieze of the Parthenon, and the pictures which adorn the back of the stage. Science Hall was the next improvement, the old library building was doubled in size, brick veneered, and converted into a line science hall one hundred and four feet king. thirty and forty feet wide and two stories high. The biological sciences occupy the lower floor, laboratories, lecture rooms, and offices are provided for and one mom ia fitted up especially for the permanent use of the atereopticon. Triangular tables were put in, forty compound microscopes are in use, and five new microtomes were purchased this year, making a total of eleven. With these equipments added the laboratories are ample for the most thorough and efficient work. The upper floor is used for the physical science� ; two small east rooms of the old building are used for physic's laboratory, and the large room over the old library is used for work in chemistry. Off of this have been partitioned an office, a supply room, and a dark room. In the new part is a lecture room seating one hundred students, w hile the room in west wing is used for geography.

The lecture and geography rooms are fitted up for lantern work by day and by evening. Ventilator� are supplied both in lecture room and chemical labraatory and distilled water is furnished from heating plant, while all equipment, apparatus and supplies have been somewhat increased. Last, but not least in importance is the new li- brary building. It is a fir proof building, about eighty- five by seventy feet, giving ample room for thirty-five thousand books, with reading nml reference rooms to accommodate a school of one thousand students. It is fitted with metal book stacks and has revolv- ing chairs nl the reading tables. The lower part is given over to class rooms which are fitted with desk chairs. Thus with its new buildings, added apparatus and efficient faculty the N. S, N. S. now ranks with the best Normals in the country. '7 Maminttir « «rod n«w«]f mm I..

EVERETT SOCIETY A glance over the year for Everett exhibits a re corti of achievement not often paralleled in literary society annals. Starting in at the first of the year with less than a score of members, the end of the year is approached with a membership of one hundred anti fifty loyal and enthusiastic practitioners of Ed- ward Everett. There have been several causes for this result, the primary one being the determination of the group who started in at the open in of the year to make the society one of the forces of the Nor- mal School. Supplementing the labors of the loyal group has been the active policy of the society. Once an Everett always an Everett,”’ The system of pre- paring the program so as to give every member the opporluniy to do active literary work, and the definite policy of the program committees to render programs of real literary character is well followed. Added to these conditions there has been a general disposition, on the part of the membership and of the school in general, to recognize the claim upon Friday evenings that the literary societies hold by tradition and by virtue of what literary societies stand for. There has been less to interfere with the Friday even- ing meetings this year than has been true for many years. Not only has Everett developed along literary lines but along material lines as well. The society has enter- ed actively upon a campaign looking to the final mak- ing of the society hall one of the most attractive lit- erary homes in Nebraska. Everett will continue to satisfy student ambitions ‘VI ftmfiit child A« lightty drum-t iti breath and frrh iU life im rvrry• timb rums n ui.vpis, Qftmo frit11 hu t those fkt itatC- WKMII- EVEREST LITERARY SOCIETY OFFICERS.

PHILOiMATHtAN SOCIETY The Philomathean Society, incorporated in IK70, needs no word of introduction to anyone who has come within range of the Nebraska State Normal School at Peru. Organized in the same year in which the school was founded, the society was open only to Juniors and Seniors of the Normal hut in Uter years has extended its fruitful opportunities to all who are eager to de- velop literary power. This present year may fitly be termed the climax of attainments in Society work, guided during the find semester by the efficient and untiring labors of C. Ray Cates, following whom was the judicious and success- ful administration of Clyde B, Moore. The Program and Music Committee deserve iqwcial mention for their loyal and excellent services in prepar- ing for each session a program both entertaining and instructive. Not only has the year been one of literary benefit, hut the Social Committees have provided ample oppor- tunity for social recreation and for the cementing of those ties of friendship which will ever remain dear to the memories of the present Philomathean . The work in literary studies has awakened an in- terest in its kindred spirit Art which has prompted the purchase of that famous series of paintings by John W. Alexander. “The Evolution of a Book, to be used as a frieze to adorn the front wall of the Society Hall. This was made possible by the overflowing treasury which is characteristic of the Philomathean Society. It is one of the wise provisions of Philo, that each member of the Society in turn must make his appear- ance in some manner on the program and this very pro- vision only brings out the loyalty of every member of the Society to such an extent that it has become a pro- verbial saying that A Philomathean never fails to respond to a call of duty, Trmt «i fkr dtitt m to «r iiriisr. 125 ‘•I r4 . tsruf , Mi’ «re f Un4t“ rtn nllLwX.

This year both societies entered into the contest with a great deal of vim and fervor and as a result one of the most pleasing and instructive entertainments was given. The societies contested upon the different lines of literary work, namely, piano solo, essay, reading, ora- tion, vocat solo and extem|K n� neous speech. The socie- ties were represented as follows: Piano Solo Mias Varner, Philo. MifiS I .a rimer. Everett. Essay—Mr, Taylor, IE). Miss Oleson (P). Heading Miss Sylvester, (P). Mitts Majors. (E). Oration—Mr. Ross, (E). Mr. L. ,J. Knoll. (P). Vocal Soto Mr. Wick land (Pi. -Mr. W. G. Brooks (E). Extemporaneous Speech Mr, Hurst IB), Mr. MitchelKP). Each selection was rendered in the very best pos- sible manner and each participant is to be congratu- lated upon their brilliant success in their respective numbers. Each society is to be Congratulated and com- mended upon the progress made during the year. No judges had been chosen and each individual was allowed to use his own judgment in picking the win- rteirs. As a result the members of Philo voted that the Philo contestants were victorious, while the Everetts that Everett was victorious. CICERONIAN DEBATING SOCIETY. There are two indisputable factors in the making of every good teacher. First, he must lx- a tireless and profound student. Second, he must know how to direct the energy of the searcher. A man may possess Horenlanean strength and the mind of a Solomon yet be without the power to convince and persuade others to mould and shape lives, then his influence will be limited to his immediate community. To train young men to have convictions and to defend them is the ptir| ose of the Ciceronian Debating Society � existing.

The young men of the class of 07 have been fully awake to their opportunity. Their interest in the organization began when they entered the Normal and it hits continued to grow as they advanced in their course. Four of the Seniors have at some time been the incumbents of the Chair. In the sessions held this year topics of state import- ance have been discussed� bills pending before the leg- islature forming the principal subjects for discussion. For several years members of this class have won honor and distinction in the Normal debates. Cline, Gates and Mitton won laurels over Kansas and Missouri last year. The training received here must and w ill bring re- wards in the future and as we leave our places to be tilled by a Demosthenes or a Cicero, we turn and behold with pleasure the past delights of Ciceronian� . ATHENIAN DEBATING SOCIETY. The Athenian is a society of young ladies organised for the purpose of development in the lines of debating and extemporaneous speaking. At the opening of this year’s work Miss Loyette Kinney served as president, having been elected the previous spring. Due to her energetic leadership the society grew to a membership of thirty-five earnest, faithful workers, The Athenians accepted a challenge from the Cicer- onians for a series of inter-society debates, to be held during the year; in the debates the daughters of Athens ably held their own against the sons of Cicero. The society w as honored by having one of its mem- bers, Belle Boleajck. assigned a place on the inter-state debates. The members of this society can earry with them the memory' of this work as one of the moat pleasant and profitable features of their school life—Long live the Athenians. INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATE The spirit of debate is fostered here in the Normal under the direction of the Faculty Debating Committee acting in harmony with the Literary Societies and De- bating dubs. The Athenian and Ciceronian dubs are the direct champions of debating work in the Normal and under their immedi ate patronage alii nter-collegiate debates are held. In order to determine who shall rep- resent the State Normal in contests with other colleges, an annual preliminary contest is held, all students en- tering these contests must be fully up in all their work and must enter the contests in good faith agreeing “to “ Are j m gntjcing mntim ar Hair mtitrenaf''—THEIU.Ii t,Kf ('1,1'B. 129 '■ ft % r.ntnt time by htmt HKNDKI OX aM� “MV wvv KKTiikmit ATHENIAN DEBATIN'; SOCIETY OFFICERS. .I tpraf nvt ytt ttassifisJ -tt� Ai.K, iso ‘A mistake' - SMITH JlirstM'BK. abide cheerfully by the decision of the judges appointed to .«elect the regular debating squad.” During the present year, thirty-three students regis- tered for the PRELIMINARY DEBATES. These thirty-three students were grouped into four squads, or groups, each division being given a question. Each group was given a separate night upon which to debate their question. The preliminaries were held in Music and Expression Hall the evenings of February 6, 7. 3, and 9. Professors Beck and Howie and Miss Goshen were selected to act as judges. Each night the hall was crowded to Its fullest capacity and on the last night many were turned away. These preliminary de- bates are being looked forward to each year as one of the most important college functions of the year, and enthusiasm runs high. At the close of these contests the judges announced a DEBATING SQUAD of thirteen members from which Enter-collegiate teams were arranged by the Debating Committee in conference wi th the judges. The inter-collegiate teams and ques- tions for debate were as follows: Missouri team, debating Warrensburg Normal. Earl CISne, L. J. Knoll, J. C Mitchell. C. G, Phillips. The question debated was: Resolved, that a por- tion of our national revenue should be raised by levy- ing a tax on inherited wealth.’ Kansas team, debating Campbell College, Holton, Kansas: J. T. Akers. C. E. Benson, Belle Bole jack, M. W. Ryan, The question debated was: Resolved, that three- fourths of a jury should be made competent to render n verdict in criminal cases.” Nebraska team, to debate Doane College, Crete, Ne- braska: E. K. Hurst, Geo. E. Knoll, Sterling Mutx, C. M. Penney, Doane, however, refused to debate. These debating teams were coached by Prof. J. W. Searson. President John A, Woodard of the Senior class won a place on the squad but was called to Fremont, Nebraska, as Principal of the High School and while unable to take a place on the regular team, he did care- ful work on one of the questions in co-operation with the team.

THE LECTURE COURSE. The Normal lias been favored by an exceptionally strong lecture course this year,due chiefly to the splen- did and untiring efforts of the committee in securing the very best numbers possible. The first number came November 8, in the form of a lecture by Dr. Driver upon the Bubject America in the Far East, and every- one went away with the feel- ing that he certainly belonged to the sui generis” race. Mrs. Bertha Kuntz Baker rendered the reading. ‘‘Peer Gynt” as the second number upon January 24. Mrs. Baker Is certainly a powerful reader and a strong interpreter. As our third number The Cleveland Lad- ies' Orchestra assisted by Mr. Frederick Irving, bar- itone soloist, presented to us one of the finest musical entertainments ever given in Peru. Everyone is hoping for a return of this company in the near future, to favor us again. Upon March 1th we were entertained by a rather novel lecture upon Sculptures and the Sculptor. Mr. Irrado Taft explained to us the different steps taken in making statues, etc.,and made some very pleasing and instructive illustrations of his work and the way it is done. Ho succeeded in removing Smith's mustache in short order, much to the satisfaction of everyone. And last but by no means the least, came the most excellent lecture by Rabbi Harrison upon April 22, This proved a very interesting and instructive lecture and many of us went away with our eyes opened. The lecture course committee deserves much praise and is to be congratulated for securing so strong a course as we have had. V jrr the tfuM' -Mis- n iisim .

The Association advances with the school and nearly one hundred of the choicest men in the institution are found to compose its active and progressive member- ship. It is allied with the state organization and each year there are sent representative men to the Annual State Convention, thus keeping in touch with the student movement. 2ts it is progressing throughout the state.

Several years ago the ladles of the faculty formed si small reading class for the purpose of becoming familiar with the best artists anti their works of art. In IWOthe mentberaoiyaniwKl an art dub and invited the Indies of the town to join them. This art club soon joined the State Federation cut Woman's Clubs and is now a federated club. Meetings are hold twice a month. The average attendance is usually from thirty to thirty-five. They follow a regular outline in their study. They have studied the Italian, Flemish. Dutch, German, French. Spanish, English, and American paintings and sculpture. As the club grew year after year, its purpose lw - eame not only self-improvement, but improvement of tho students along the lines of art. Annual art ex- hibits were undertaken by the club. These exhibitions have sometimes been a collection of first-class copies of paintings, both of modern artists and of the old mas- ters, or A collection of the very best pottery manu- fttcured in the United States, and hand textures, or a collection of original water-color paintings by leading American artists. During these exhibits, members of tho club give lectures on the different artists and their works, A very small admission fee is charged so that it is within tho roach of all the students. Through these exhibits and lectures the Club hopes to benefit both Its members and the students. The aim is to cultivate judgment in the selection of pictures and in choosing suitable frames fur them. The educative influence IS sure to be far reaching for as the students go to different localities to teach, they will take with them this culture, and by selecting lietter pictures and decorat ions for their school and homes, wifi inlhience others.

There is no place in Peru, or wen in Nebraska that will quite compare with the dear old Mount Vernon Hall. Mount Vernon is home, a cozy, busy place where our you UK women enjoy every comfort arid every pleasure. Each Kiri is a queen in her apartment, anti rules there as a mother rules Her home. There is one who guides these young womanly minds and helps them in attaining a quiet, reserved, dignity, which every young woman should acquire. The young ladies meet their friends and entertain their guests as any young lady is allowed to do in any other social position. The birthdays are anticipated with great delight; for then the table of the fortunate one wilt be decorated in very many artistic ways. Little dinners, with a French menu course are also appropriate to these little occurences nnd one must not forget the little souvenirs, of cunning device that each member at the table finds at her plate. Then our annual reception on Washington’s birth- day is a source of deep enjoyment. We see our girlish house-mates transformed into quaint, dignified Colonial dames, and see them welcoming our guests, through the strains of martial music, by the Mount Vernon Orches- tra or Band. The daily life at Mount Vernon is as a little stream, flowing along quietly but ever bubbling over in its own quiet delights. Our friendships here formed are true and sweet. We love each other, for what we really are; for is it not our daily lives that really count? We learn to appreciate their value, and when just one girl is gone from among us, how we miss her. Just as the little brook has its rough ground to travel, so have we little trials, but as the brook we glide on more the brighter when the rough ia past. May the fellowship sweet Prepare each friend to meet. And as the years go gliding by. May it only make stronger the tie. And may it seem sweet indeed to all.

The life of a model school teacher is not a happy one. First of all is the practice work, lasting from twenty to forty minutes each day; during this time the embarrassed and usually nervous senior (particularly the latter, if the critic teacher very unceremoniously makes her appearance) labors to instill into the youth- ful minds some of the wisdom with which she is so for- tunately blessed. She is always gratified, when after a very lucid explanation and discussion of the structuro of the pedal extremity of the Felis Domesticus, one of the unusually brilliant of the young hopefuls arises and Inquires concerning the condition of the coasting hill. Her heart always thrills with pride at the display of such profound thought The writing of the weekly plan Is always a des- perately interesting experience, since it is usually fol- lowed by a private criticism. During this conference the humble and unassuming practice teacher is informed by the critic that she does not conduct herself in a manner befitting the dignity of her position; her voice is rasping, a course in voice culture is suggested as a remedy; also, when presenting her work, she is not sure of herself. As a result of hor home training, the kind- hearted Senior is accustomed to request each child to “please” recite. Mistaking an effort to inculcate in the minds of the children a spirit of politeness, the critic informs her that her supplicating manners arouse in the children a spirit of antagonism. After a cool nod. which is understood to be a sign of dismissal, the much criticised one steals meekly from the audi- ence-chamber to seek the shelter of her own room and pour forth her woes into the sympathetic ears of her room-mate.

The past year ha� marked an epoch in the history of our Military Battalion. Words cannot expre � the program it hi ix made a m3 the success it has attained. For the first time in the history of the school the num- ber of on Hated men has necessitated the formation of two companies. The number of Cadets is now very near the “eighty mark. The military organization has been well perfected and it now stands as one of the best in the state. Our battalion now consists of the two companies, A and It, and the findet Band of nearly thirty pieces. The commissioned officers of Company A are; Captain, A. J, Wkkland; First Lieutenant, E. K. Hurst; Second Lieutenant, C. O, Oline, Of Company It; Captain. A. H. filbert; First Lieutenant, Benj, Har- rison ; Second Lieutenant, Burrell Raines. All of the work is under ,he supervision and direction of Com- mandant C� F. Beck. At the beginning of each year after enrollment has been made, the simpler facing movement� are taken up; these are followed by tM|und movement� . The gun� are then given out and gun movements begin. At the close of this year the companies present a line appearance and they merit much praise for their excellent platoon and battalion drill� . The Cadet Battalion observed their annual encamp- merit of four or five days this spring and the hoys all move it the best yet. The Battalion also feel justly proud of the Military I rama. “The Spy of Atlanta. which they so ably pro- duced. The Cadets have certainly placed their mark high and it 1� one to which coming companies may well aspire. l W j S«I'C «“— DOttWtOMV, 149 «� «’rtT-in� NIBVMIM It vicit.

Old war veterans who witnessed it termed it the best drama ever presented on the statfe of our Chapel. Lieut. Hurst in the role of the Spy of Atlanta made n “hit as the hero of the North white the audience fell a sense of relief when Lieut. Harrison, as the Southern vi Ilian, was «hot. Everyone performed his part admirably well, and the “Dalton family” will be ever remembered as a typ- ical family of the North. The Military Battalion and specialty Commandant Beck deserve a awat deal of credit for their effectual work in this tin� as well as in military science. CAST OF CHARACTERS.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC. He who said: “Let me but write the songs of the nation and 1 care not who makes its laws, strikes at the vert- keynote of that which is the most important factor in a nation's development, From time immemor- ial the songs and music of the different nations have been closely identified! with their growth: and who today, at the sound of the national hymn does not feel the desire and the strength to do. But it is not for its effect upon the emotions alone that music is particularly valuable. Music, as we understand it, stands as one of the greatest thought developers in the curriculum of t lay; hence should he studied, if not for its own sake, at least for its efficiency in arousing mental activity. The music in our Normal stands for the highest, and we feel proud to say it is particularly well organized as shown by the members of musical organisations in the school. Supreme among these must be mentioned the Nor- mal Hand. What please re this famous faction of thirty lias given to every fellow student! The concert given February 2$. was of the very highest standard, its repertoire including''Tanhauser and Coronation March. from the Prophet.

March 21. 1907, My Dear The great issue of the season is really over. The Gypsy Queen is really crowned! and it all happened on the moat splendid of thrones, all covered with pretty flowers. Miss Lottie Cooley made the queenliest of Queens, taking the royal seat with all the sovereign power and dignity of which she is the rightful owner. O. it was all so lovely! How I do wish you could have been there to see us tambourine girls, gowned in dazzling yellow satin (?) and jewels galore. Strenuous, to say the least, was the effort to adjust our dainty [?] feel to trip to the uprightly music of night and morning. But it paid! For. being modest withal, we shall admit, that everybody said that we wore eight of the fairest, fascinating, feminine fellow students, who on that night fought for fame and found it fully, Mr, Hurst (Prince Cristall) was simply grand. An ideal lover, too, and as true as steel. Why even after the ordeal of a hateful flirtation with that freckled, frivolous Annette; and standing as he did at the platform of execution, he still had a tasting courage to declare that without Marguerite, death was joy a rare bit of martyrdom to my way of thinking, Mr. W. G.

Friend , studente, faculty, lend me your ear . I here present the Oak Glenns- not to praise them. [As, their worth all people know without the telling. 1 But just to mention, candidly and true. The noble work they really do. Have you ever been to Oak Glenn? Well as it is new to most of you, come along with me and make its acquaintance. But from whence came its name? From its pictur- esque locality situated as it is, in a Glenn of Oak trees. As we enter the small artistic hall various savory odors reach our nostrils. How delicious,—but—my friends, you appear ptixsdcd. You forget that the fleeting fair who dwell herein are living the simple rustic life; mastering the science of cooking. Come follow me further and I shall reveal to you how these maidens manage their art. Let us enter one of the artistic dens on second floor. How charmingly our hostess receives us. But why say this, for hospitality reigns supreme stall times, 0, what a pretty living room, just the typical school girl’s room pennants, pictures and posters galore, and there is the little table spread with pearly white linen, But come into this adjoining, appartment. Yes it is a tiny kitchen and here with the various kettles, parts, dishes and utensils, numerous concoctions arise. Never for a minute suppose that the results here obtained are always a success. They are new at the art, yet under the skillful supervision of their beloved preceptress they are pro- gressing famously; find listen! [although I have no right to tell] I have heard that in some cases, at some future day, their domestic art will not have to be con- ii ned to an apartment of two rooms. wrt favet fisibij” hortum Am- ,«■ i� oh —ei. a h. 156 Coach, Schcrcr Phillip Taylor Lloyd Tollnimt House Swenson Magor Janii-ii Magor Collins Colt FOOTBALL SONG.

Tho wo did not have a championship team last season, it was a successful season from other points of view. We had a team that played clean honest, hard foot bait; a team of manly young men that could repre- sent the school without apology. We trained more men than those on the teams, thus laying the foundation for future teams and distributing the benefits of athletic training as far as possible on the Normal School foot- ball field. The success oi‘ this season's football is due to the most excellent coach. Dr. Scherer, who played guard on the famous University of Chicago team of '05, which won the championship of the West, Coach A. A Stagg, of Chicago, says: I consider l)r. Scherer one of my very strongest men. and I know he will make n mast excellent trainer. With a man of such ability as coach there was much reason for encouragement and n number of good games: were scheduled. In reviewing the season it is a pleasure to men- tion the hearty support of the faculty and the student body, ami this encouraged the members of the team to do their best in defense of t he honor of the N.

The basketball season was a little late on account of the football, but under the direction of Dr, Scherer, the boys took up the work with a great deal of spirit and we had an excellent team from the beginning, Kggenberger made a strong center, and at every opportunity got the ball to the forwards. Brooks and Sims, who were always at the right place at the right time. This combination, with Goit and House as guards was hard to beat.

J, T, be- fore the august assembly of students upon the subject of the skating rink. We. the Athletic Association, with our sagacious foresight directed into the vista of our future poissi- bi tities, have congregated within this majestic auditor- ium to give vent to any loquacious logomachy upon the subject of a skating rink. Great as have been our achievements in the past they will be lost in the fuliginous mists of oblivion under the amaranthine splendor of our concurrent con- stellation of mighty achievements. As Apollo rolls his flaming chariot across the eastern hills and dispels any habitate lucubration, may the frigid months of 1906GS07 be branded as the gorgeous luminary of athletic superiority. May it be said that amid the catcchrostieal adimad- version of the aridinaeeous. and the agrustiesl cachin natory buzzes of the anasarcous, when this loquacious logamacy has reaches! its magnitudinous culmination, that each | )fttnti«Jsowlet and circumforaucous nuc tivigant has perspicuously demonstrated his ability upon the nickkeplated messenger of swiftness, Prof. Brownell: What is the symbol for heat?” Westcott: H E L:.

When nature is in bloom, That this course of study We successfully resume. No class work is required, There’s no tuition fee, It’s all laboratory work And it’s absolutely free. The time is quite unlimited. It's what you think allright. It may he just a short time Or it may be all night. The branches which we study In this delightful course. Are certainly of interest And of bountiful resource. Nature Study, Character And the starry heavens above, But also, what’s mure beautiful The mysteries of love. The books which are required Art- not cumbersome, at ail. But none would stop or hesitate To follow at their call. There are no class restrictions. All men are well received. But when the final test does come (treat numbers arc deceived. Only two books are wanted And they are free of charge. The one is rather dedicate The other great and large. The open book of Nature Is an important feature, But what is more essential Than the “Nebraska Teacher?” Don't doubt the word I've told you, Don't think that t would lie.

Press in two strong on� a small soft hand, sift lightly two ounces of attraction, one of romance, add n large measure of folly, stir in a floating ruffle, and one or two whispers. Dissolve a half dozen glances in a well of silence; dust in a small quantity of hesitation, one ounce of resistance, two of yielding; place the kisses on a flushed cheek or two lips, flavor with a slight scream and set aside to cool This will succeed in any climate if directions art carefully followed. BITTER PILLS. Every heart must learn to boat. And every robin learn U trill; And every senior team to teaeh Ee'en tho it is a bitter pill. Young, [teaching in model school, shaking boy by collar]; I believe Satan has got hold of you.

Miss Haney: [Intending to second the motion] 1 accept the name. ” Mr. Mitchell [At supper table): I have made three speeches from the Chapel stage. Mr. Penney: Do you count the speech you made at the Society Contest as one of them? Mitchell: Yes. Miss Hughes: Do you call that a speech? General laugh. Miss Miller [to Prof. Searaon.]:- Now Professor, abit I the nicest girl you ever saw? Prof. Parson:- Sure, you’re a whole bunch of daisies.” 173 Senior in Model School: “Tracy, how many times must I tell you to stand up straight and throw vonr shoulders back?

Words!!! 0, for ton thou� - and words to describe this so-called quartette. If infinite discord bo harmony, then this quartette is the greatest musical prodi try ever brought forth upon this old earth, in its eight thousand years of history , Profound ignorance of all the laws of music and harmony mark� the four gentlemen [?] in this aggre- gation, Mr. F. I). Brooks sings first tenor, so he says. Well it isn’t courteous to contradict, but we have an opinion. Mr. E. K. Hurst sings second tenor. His singing reminds one of the politics of his Mew York namesake. Mr, Lee Henderson, the baritone i� a marvel. His voice blends so well with the other voices that you never ear� hear him. Now we come to the bass end of this inharmonious quartette, Mr. W. («. Knxdts. At times his ejaculations sound like the grunt of a pig, at other times, like the roll of distant thunder on a hot summer day. In short were we to have our choice between this grunting, growling, bellowing, screeching, nerve- racking, discordant quartette, and the braying of four long-eared animals, we would choose the tatter. We would advise this bunch to spend a year on the farm, calling hogs, so as to soften down their voices. BOARDING HOUSE MATHEMATICS. [Noto.J We insert these few extracts in the hope that the students of the school will be able to appre- ciate them and see then appropriateness r THEOREMS. No two meals taken together are equal to one square meal. All wrangles with the landlady arc acute, SCHOLIUM The minimum demand is always greater than the maximum supply. AXIOM. At 12:20 a straight line is the shortest distance from the parlor to the «lining room. DEFINITIONS. A square deal is an incommensurable quantity; it approaches, a� its limit, justice to the boarder, yet however near it may approach its limit, it never can reach it. A pie-wrangle is one in which a boarder, having sold his pie, does not conn to dinner. A tangent is the path pursued by the landlady when a boarder says the meat and butter are not good. A radical is best represented b.v the landlady when the students ask for a cut in the price of board. An irrational is the landlady's belief about her roomers. AXIOMS. All permutations and combinations result in hash. A dish of hash may be indefinitely produced. THEOREMS. The functions [or uses] of what is left over, are variables with no apparent limits. A good meal is an imaginari,'. (We can have no concrete example of it.) If the wrangle of one roomer with the landlady is equal in all respects to the wrangle of another roomer on the same floor, then the bill of the one will be equal to that of the other, else it is not a great as might Ik , which is absurd. N. B. Herbert Spencer says: 'Evolution is the Integration of matter and concomitant dissipation of motion, during which, the matter passes from an in- definite, incoherent homogeneity, to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, and during which the retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation. We would tike for someone to apply this to the evolution of hash. SOME INTERESTING FIGURES. A genius has sprung up among us. We ha ve read all history, from the legends of the founding of the most ancient cities by pro-historic peoples, to the pres- ent time. SVe have carefully .searched all the records of the past; have deciphered undent inscriptions, and old manuscripts, musty with the death damp of cen- turies. as they have filed slowly by. We have studied the history of mathematics of all the past, but never have we found such a master-mathematician and pro- diguous calculator, as the gentleman, who furnished the figures for the Junior Class. It was a question of Annual or no Annual. Would the .funiors help? Mr. Sterling Mutz presented the following figures which at once proved the graft and malicious intent of the Senior Annual Hoard: COST OF ANNUAL. 200 pages [500 copy basis], printing and binding at 1 10 mill per page . ..$.20 20 half tones, best grade copper plates, 6x 1-8 in. at $.00015 per sq. in. ....................15 150 half-tones of membcia of Senior Claw nt $.001 etch. ........... ..........................

UNUSUAL HONORS FOR “OUR BOY.” Mr. Warren Cook, son of Mr. and Mrs. Methuselah Cook of this vicinitv, has received an unusual honor. Warren has been elected to membership in the Cicer- onian Society of the Peru Normal, This society is eom- IHised of tho most intellectual and aristocratic element of Nebraska’s greatest Normal School.—Journal. A natural leader. One of the greatest acts of diplomacy, courage and fearlessness was recently performed by a Crete boy Louie Knoll. Louie is attending the Peru State Nor- mal, A mock political convention was held in the Nor- mal Chape) to demonstrate how Presidents of the U. S. art «looted. The convention as is true in everyday life- divided itself into two factions -Lhe grind and the had. the true and the false. The c!ean faction was headed by two worthy Peruvians, Messrs, Penney and Mitchell and our own boy Louis, The corrupt faction was led by two worthless scalawags. K, M. Cline of Falls City and E. K. Hurst of Auburn. The corrupt faction, aided by the evil genius himself, was apparently con- trolling the convention in a very high-handed manner. They nomianted for Chairman one of their men via: VV. C. Brooks, ivho is a nrcacher's son and that is sufficient and for President of the U. S. one Beuj, Har- rison, a man of no repute. The clean faction was sickened at such corruption. By this time the convention was a mere howling mass of humanity. The Anti-Corruptionists nominated Louis to replace the villain occupying the chair. With immovable countenance, speechless lips and unwinking eyes Ixiuis faced the impish demon� . Un- able to obtain the gavel frurn the degenerate Brooks without the use of ungentlemanly and unchristian tike force, Ixiuis completely covered the Chairman's desk and thus outwitted his vicious enemy. The enemy's linos! one broken soon gave way and without saying a word Louis was soon master of the situation and the “Black Lang” were undeniably de- feated, Such rare presence of mind, such self control and super-abundance of wisdom has never been before wit- nessed at Pern. Here’s hopes for the success of such a noble youth as Louis J. Knoll, and may he ever triumph over such worthless demagogues as Cline, Hurst and Brooks, V'eni, Vidi, Vici-—Crete Enterprise. A LADIES’ MAN. Mr, and Mrs. Alexander Snowden hear with pleasure of the success of their boy. Harley, who is attending the Peru Normal, In a recent debate Mr. Snowden parti- cularly addressed his remarks to the Indies and so com- pletely won their sympathy and good will that he was called upon to address the Y. W. C, A, on the following day- The Herald extends congratulations and advises that the good work continue. Dunbar Herald. THE HOY ORATOR OF THE BLUE. We have just received word of the achievements of our worthy citizen, C. L. Wescott. who is attending the State Normal at Peru. Peru has many orators from many lands, of many colors, but none like our own boy Charlie. We hear that on one occasion Charlie spoke for two hours against a proposition involving graft, Never 178 wore such outburst of oratory heart! Spellbound, his listeners drank in the words of matchless eloquence that fell from his glowing bps. Yea at times his utter- ances sounded like the rinK of the Liberty Bell, at other times, as he waxed eloquent, like the sweet music of Minnehaha. It is needless to say that the proposition failed. We are watching with pleasure the career of our bright- est citi en. Beatrice Examiner. AM ATHLETIC SUCCESS. OAKLEY JAMES A FOOTBALL WONDER, We are «lad to hear of the athletic success of our esteemed friend, Mr, Oakley James. James has aptly been termed the King of the Gridiron. In a game at Peru recently with Mtevuc College, Mr. James dislinutiisltd himself beyond all previous records and added another round to his already dazzling ladder of achievement. Duane possessed the ball when suddenly James broke thru the opposing line, grabbed the brill and in- stead of running forward with his head downward, he demonstrated his superiority by running backwards for 109 1 2 yards and scoring a touch-down. This new feat was heralded with erics of approbation. We predict for our former townsman a career greater than that of an Eskersall or Heston if he re- mains in the game.—Humboldt Courier, HORRIBLE CALAMITY. It is with regret that we hear of the very painful accident that befell our worthy townsman, Wesley Dun ten. Wesley is attending the Peru Normal and is assistant in the science laboratory. He has won gen- era! respect by hi kind and accomodating manners and his vast scientific knowledge enables him to be an in- valuable assistant. Now, his once bright life is clouded by a painful accident that «cured while he was assisting a careless young lady who was working in the laboratory, As near a we can learn, in the laboratory course, there is in use a huge machine called the microtome. We know little of this machine except that it has a large knife that must be handled with great care. While Wesley was assisting in loosening the dogged machine the knife flew from its groove and started in its dangerous revolutions. Wesley’s arm was immediately cutotTand hacked into a hundred pieces, Three ribs were cut completly in two and large gashes were inflicted on head, neck and shoulders. Nor was this all to befall the unhappy young man. In the course of the revolutions the knife caught tip a large bottle of Canada Balaam, a very dangerous acid, and threw it on Wesley's head and left him scarred and badly burned. In the excitement a large watch-glass was knocked front the table and fell on Ernest’s foot, breaking three bones and the ankle. A large alcohol lamp exploded and left him blind. Kind hands immediately eared for him and only ah iron constitution and hopeful cheerfulness can possibly save his life, Lot us hope that such fanatical educa- tion may soon be eliminated and may this horrible calamity bo a beacon light in the future that will show the value of human life.
