Kadi member of the Senior class feds that out ad- viser is his adviser and that he has a special interest in him and his individual weilare. lie is truly an adviser, for he is one not only in name, but in deed. Kver organization of worth has its leader. The majority of organizations would never ob- tain results were there no leader to whom they could at all times look for friendly advise and wise direction, and who could be ever ready to point out the right course and suggest the best methods. At the outset the members of an organization are attached to their leader through respect and admiration: later a real friendship develops which grows deeper and stronger as time advances. So has it been with the Class of toil and Professor (Jregg. Professor («regg s career had its beginning on a Northern Ohio farm. Three years of his early boyhood were spent in Jackson Countv. Kansas, where his first schooling began. Returning with his parents to ( )hio he continued living on a farm adjacent to the village of Nevada, alternating work on the farm with schooling through the village High School. Me then decided to enter the teaching profession, spending two years in a rural district and a year as principal of the High School from which he had graduated, lie afterwards attended the hio Northern Cniversity. completing the classical course there. It was while here that Professor «regg met the young lady who a f t e r w a r d became Mrs. (iregg. After graduation he be- eame a member of the hoard of managers of a private .Normal at Scottsboro. Ala- bama. and a teacher there of Latin. ireck. and Kuglish. I lie engagement eont inning three years.

While in Wayne the people there manifested their esteem for bint bs electing bint rep resent Wayne and Stanton counties in tin- state legislature of to .T ssltieh lie did most satisfactorily, securing among other things the passage of the present law prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors under eighteen years of age The Winding Stream on tli Old ;r«-gg Kurin For the past six years Professor (iregg has been a teacher in the Stale Normal School at Peru, being at first an associate professor in biology, and now a professor of the physiological sciences, lie has always proven himself a loyal Peruvian, at all times manifesting the true Peru spirit. I le has taken an active part in the building up and supporting of the literary societies. ( In is tian associations, and debating clubs. Our college paper owes the major por- tion of its success to that untiring “push manifested by Professor iregg in its behalf. He spent two quarters of the year ipop in post-graduate work in psychology in the University of Chicago. He is the author of two books for teachers of physiology, and more re ccntlv f a work on parliamentary law which is rapidly- coming into very gen oral use. The Thr� M' I.iiiK (Jropas Professor (has that perseverance, enthusiasm, ami ahilitv to accom- plish things which arc invaluahlc assets to a successful career.

In the year that President Mayes has been principal of the Peru State Normal he has seemed to proceed upon the principle that honors, rewards, and plaudits are worthies linies deserved and are only incidents in the greater ends of service well rendered and work conscienti«� tisl done. In consequence, both the incidents and the ends have been his to enjoy.

Tile duties of the president necessarily became more extensive with the growth ol the school so that the office of Dean was created by the Hoard of Education at its meeting in 1 )eeeniber. tijio. The duties of this officer ;tre many and varied, front acting president and counsellor of the chief executive, to the «adviser of the faculty and student hotly. The im- portance oi this office is second only to that of the presidenev itself. Therefore it was very essential that «a man should he chosen who was not only highly educated along professional and scholastic lines, hut who was trained by practical experience in the university of hard knocks, so that he might have soul sympathy for the humblest student as well as for the most learned who comes under his influence. Such a man was found in l’rof. E. L. Rouse. Dean Rouse is purely a Nebraska product, having been horn in east cen- tral Nebraska near («reenwood. lie began his education in the little rural school near his fathers farm. When he was ten years old his parents moved to Nuckolls County. Nebraska, near Nelson, where he grew to manhood, completing his work in the rural schools. He attended Fairfield C ollege and the Western Normal in Iowa where he secured his secondary education. It was during his attendance at the latter school that he met Miss Rhoda Tunni- oliffe, who later became Mrs. Rouse. Dean Rouse attributes his success to this queen of his household. Since completing his secoiularv education he has graduated from Peru, received the degree of Bachelor of Education from his Alma Mater, and Bachelor of Arts from Coiner I’niversitv. From the beginning of his teaching career as a rural teacher in Nuckolls Countv. success has crowned his efforts. After teaching three years in coun- try schools he was called to the principalship of the Hebron High School. lli next promotion came within ;t few years. It was to the superintendenev of the Weeping Water schools. It was here that he proved himself more than a strong teacher and disciplinarian, lie attracted the attention of the school fraternity of Nebraska by his exceptionally strong executive ability and his rare tact in dealing with men of affairs. Ilis great success at Weeping Water secured for him the superintendenev of the I’lattsmouth schools. Snpt. Rouse was now ranked among the very strongest of Nebraska's foremost school men. In Mjojr President Crabtree selected Prof. Rouse to he superintendent of the training department of the Normal. , The fact that President I laves chose him for the important position of Dean of the State Normal bespeaks Prof. Rouse's success as superintendent of the training department. Since he took charge, four hundred graduates have been inspired by his strong personality and influence. The members of the present Senior class count it as one of their greatest privileges that they have had the counsel and advice in their professional training of this good man. who empathizes with them in their struggles and rejoices with them in their success i in'It • h UKNICt It.

( )ne can hardly appreciate what is ac- complished in so short a time by the marvelous process of helping a human being to unfold and develop within himself powers which he learns t use aright. Let us step in a few minutes early, llere we see the children in a large, sunny room, happy at their favorite play. It may be with a bean bag or with an automatic car brought bv some child, but where cjuiet content reigns, we find the dolls and doll house the sole interest. Soit music is now heard and playthings are put away. W ith folded hands the children sit on the little red chairs around the tables and await the gentle chord that tells them it is time to sit in happy circle. W hat an atmosphere of joy and self-forgetfulness there is! hirst there is a ( iood .Morning song' to some long-absent one. then songs, new and old. are sung with equal enthusiasm. The subject that the leader wishes to talk about is now introduced so tactfullv that it seems to come spontaneously from the children. I he ever-welcoine stor is a lilting conclusion. After a similar period consisting of marches and rhythmic exercises, the children resume their places at the tables where twenty minutes is devoted to handwork. We see one table busy at a gift lesson, a second table-group is cut- ting an apple, free hand, while a third is weaving a mat for dolly, hollowing this is the game period in which the children form a circle. There they gain the relaxation that guessing games and folk dances give, or enjoy the quiet, self- possession and unrestrained presentation of some dramatic play arising from the morning talk. Again the thought of the day is continued further at the second period of table work until the time for good-byes. Then we leave, feeling how nearly we escaped realizing the vital significance of it all.

Hooray! Juniors. Juniors. Hoorav, Hoorav! During tltr Ifrar The Junior Class of 12 started its third year with hut few of the “Old iuarcl” present. We were sorry to lose our esteemed adviser. Miss C ulbert- son. who has so efficiently and faithfully advised and guided the class through two years of school, hut we are fortunate, indeed, in having Hrof. W. X. Delzell to pilot us through the Junior and Senior years. ( )n October S the class enjoyed a seven o'clock breakfast in Xeafs grove: on this occasion the members of the class, also had an opportunity to become better acquainted with each other. This gathering served as a prelude to our many social functions of the year; Hallowe en will be long remembered because of its weird scenes, witches, ghosts and skeletons, but longer by some because of Professor IMzelfs ghost story. We pride ourselves upon the “quality of our class for the reason that Juniors have been conspicuous in nearly all of the school activities. In ath- letics the Juniors have played a prominent part, demonstrated by the fact that eight first-team football men. and four first-team basketball men were Juniors. Among the special celebrities in athletics are Mr. M. P. Renfro and Mr. Harley Shaver, of our class, who were the only men of the school chosen on the All- Xebraska football team. In the Xebraska State Agricultural Prize Essay Contest, the Juniors again led the school in the number of prize-winners: the Misses TTortcnse Inks. ATeola Parson. Crace Monfort, and Lena Havens, brought honor to the class as well as to the Xormal by winning prizes in this contest. I he class was well represented in the preliminary debates. I he follow- ing members of our class won places on the teams and will represent the Xormal in inter-collegiate debate: Miss ILiena Lee. Kearney team; Miss Ella Bellas. Wayne team, and C. Arthur Anderson. Missouri team. Many of the Juniors who have not been attending the Xormal this year but have been teaching are expected to return to school next year and gradu- ate with our class, due to the efforts of the 1912 Committee. This com- mittee, of which Mr. (ie . S. Hansen is chairman, lias been working diligently in “boosting” for the class and in publishing circulars which were sent to pr« spectivc students.

Like the kindergarten and elementary school, the high school i a part of the practice department of the Normal, and receives the same general supervision by Dean K. L. Rouse as given to the lower grades. IVof. M. t. I-viler is principal of the high school, and gives his whole attention to the interests ol these grades. Regular Senior teachers do the actual work ol the class room, and also attend t � the supervision of study hours. In order that the highest possible standard of efficiency may be maintained. Seniors who teach in the high school are recommended by the head of the department in the .Normal having direct knowledge of the teacher’s academic training in the Mibjecl she desires to teach. 1 he course of study conforms to that of the two-year high school, as out- lined b the state department of education. Peru and vicinity furnishes the nucleus of attendance, and many come from different parts of the state. This year Kansas. Iowa, Missouri, South I akota. and t’olorado have representatives in the high school. The enrollment is between ninety and one hundred. Kaeh grade has a complete class organization, and undertakes to conduct its own business affairs, and arrange its social programs for the year. The tenth grade officers are as follows: llal C’dasgow. president: Dorothy Iloadley. vice president: Ruth Smith, secretary: Josephine Holman, treasurer, and Carl Smith, sergeant-at-arms. In the ninth grade Rachel Rader is president: Milton IUankeuship. vice president; Coral Wittwer. secretary: Herein I Jlenberger. treasurer, and Krnest ( herton. sergeant-at-arms, file principal acts as «ad- viser for each grade. Plenty of interest and enthusiasm has been aroused in athletics. Regular gymnasium periods are set aside for high school use. and both boys and girls have well-organized class teams. The inter-class contests have given oppor- tunity for these teams to show their strength, and the results have brought due recognition to the place of the high school in athletic events. The social gatherings have been pleasant features of the year’s work. Each class has two regular social events during the year, one at the beginning of school in the fall, and one toward the close of the term in the spring. In the middle of the year the classes hold a gymnasium party to which all the Seniors who have worked in the high school at any lime during the year are in- vited. I his reception was held on the evening of hehruary twenty-tilth, and will he remembered as one of the most pleasant social functions of Un- war. Sometimes at the verv close of the school year a rousing picnic is planned, and every member of the high school joins in thus celebrating tin- completion of another war of study.

Its graduates are found in every village and city of the state and in nearly every slate in the I’niou. Through the inlluence of these scattered Alumni working- heart and soul for their Alma Mater. Peru has become one of the strongest State Normals of the W est. I he graduates have not only been instrumental in influencing; others to attend the Normal, but themselves have felt the need of a higher and broader education. In order to meet this demand, the college and professional courses were extended in 1Q05. under the influence of former President Crabtree, to cover two full years beyond the work ottered at that time. Since this extension, the number of persons entering the advanced course has show n a steady increase from year to year. This, in turn, has brought forth the need of an organization such as will emphasize tile importance of graduate work in the teaching profession and will further the interests of the Normal as an institution for graduate study. To meet this need the graduate class was formed. President Naves is to he recognized as the moving force towards bringing about the organization of the class. It was he who first interested in this phase of Alma Mater loyalty the resident Peru Alumni as well as others engaged in advanced work here. As a result of his work and influence together with that of the graduate students themselves, we have an organization destined to grow and at the same time to perfect and carry out the ideals that lie at its basis. These ideals may be considered two-fold—those for the personal pleasure and improvement of the members of the class itself, and those for the continued advancement of the standard of the institution as a whole. Of these two. how- ever, the more important we feel to be the latter: such is the practical phase 1 Alma Mater loyalty toward which we are bending our efforts. We would keep high the standard of the Alma Mater; we would keep abreast of the times in the great educational world. 1-1 veil our selfish reasons for existence have their roots in the general good of the school at large. To this end wo have devoted a number of our class meetings to informal talks and lectures upon schools and school conditions in various parts of the country. l� y so broadening our own sympathies and information, we hope the better ami the more intelligently to do what lies in our power to help solve the problems that arise in our own school and to keep bevond reproach our Alma Mater.

At the same time, however, in no sense do they neglect the enjoyable element of literary interpretation, as the work offered in I '•nnysuii «and Shakespeare alone hear witness, lint this is not the phase of the work that is given most emphasis. I lie English language itself occupies the hrst place. In no course does this basic purpose of the department receive nmre sound treatment than in Junior English, a course aptly styled •'correct English speak ing and writing,’ which runs through the year, live periods during the week. Mere practical experience is given the students in theme writing, in analysis of English structure, and in the study of English words with a view to increasing vocabulary ami awakening language consciousness. X’or is this work con lined to a selected few. It is far-reaching in its effects, being reiptired ot all Juniors. And. that it has proved its worth, has been so fully demonstrated by the suc- cess of Peru Juniors in the recent state contest in essays upon agricultural sub jects, that further testimony is not necessary . From the historical side of the language thorough work is being «lone in connection with the course dealing with the history of English literature. And even fuller etymological treatment is given in tin Anglo-Sax«� ti ( lassies.

To the earliest settlers, the division of Nebraska in which we are now living was known as Korney County, hut at the first session of the Territorial Legis- lature the name was changed to Nemaha, a much prettier name. The etymol- ogy of the word is as follows: No- is the Indian word for river: the malia is the name of the C maha Indians: the combination therefore means Omaha river. Nemaha County has the honor of being the seat of the oldest and the second oldest towns in Nebraska, namely. St. Deroin and Urownville. History favors St. Deroin as being the older. 1 was in fact unable to learn just when the first white settlement was made, hut it is easy to hazard a guess from the likeness of the name to the more familiar St. Joseph and St. Louis. When the .Mississippi was first discovered and shortly afterwards, those old French Jesuits, among whom were Manpiette and Jolliettc. were establishing missionary posts along the Mississippi, and up the Missouri. St. Deroin must have gotten its name and settlement at that time. If this he true Nemaha County has a town within her borders that dates hack to the latter days of the seventeenth century. St. Deroin has a verv pretty location—situated on the Missouri, surrounded 1 a strip of level ground, with a chain of hills for a back ground—almost as beautiful as the hills here at Lem. In 1845 this village had a population of about boo persons, hut of late vears has declined to almost nothing. No one can tell just why it never achieved greatness. Had it kept on growing it might have become the St. Joseph of Nebraska. Leaving St. Deroin we travel about twenty miles up the river (and a beau- tiful journey it is. especially in the summer lime) to ITownville. 1 can almost This ; ml tin l'nll � vjn j ai'tirlc won jjivrn lnTniv :i liUTiir.v n|H'!i s.'ssimi inn-iiim J.-mcnrv 2 . tail. I.'iohlfi Hint H see some of you laugh when I mention that name. Students seem in delight in getting off all sorts of jokes about lirownville: as when some stranger happens along whose appearance is suggestive of the backwoods, one is likeh t« hear this remark: Why, he must he from lirownville!” lint I am glad to sa this cheap humor is perpetrated, and enjoyed, only by those who don’t know any- thing about the place—that have never even been there. Xature lias bestowed her rarest gift upon lirownville. without a doubt the most beautiful ole for a city in Nebraska. People travel hundreds ol miles for the purpose oi seeing some of the earth’s ancient upheavels. Sturlents who are lure and have never visited lirownville have the opportunity of traveling just eight miles to see such a place. Anyone that has been here at school for a year and hasn’t been to Brown ville at least for a day has missed pari of his education. An early breneh scholar and explorer came west after traveling all over the eastern part ot the United States looking for a location. ( rossing what was then known as the plains to California, and finding nothing there that suited him. he became disgusted with America, and resolved to return to b ranee. After crossing the river at lirownville he looked back and was amazed at the- beauty of the place, so re-crosscd and located there, lie wrote hack to his friends, saying: Mad the God of the Universe spent a lifetime at it he could have produced no more beautiful resting place for a city. ' We think we have a beautiful cemetery at Peru, blit it is nothing compared with the cemetery at lirownville. If one wire to go to Brown ville and see nothing else, the view of the cemetery alone would be worth the cost of the trip. Just across the river from lirownville there u ed to he a town called Scott s City, which fell into the river long ago. lirownville and Scott s C itv might just as well have been Omaha and Council 1‘duffs. 1 he t nion Pacific railroad, which was the making of ( )maha. offered to make lirownville the main terminal, before they had any intentions of crossing the river at Omaha, blit the people didn’t offer anv inducements, thinking that the lirownville route would be selected anyway as lirownville was the best town in the State. by. people hauled their produce fifty miles and more t lirownville. As many as seventy different steamboats were unloading produce at her wharves. She had a popula- tion of 4.000 persons at a time when no other Nebraska city had as many hun- dred. Kountzc Bros., one of the largest hanking and real estate firms in New ni 1 L_ «� rk. through agents. bought J()o acres � f land and laid ii nut in town Inis. Alter the I ninti Pacific made ( hnaha its main terminal they started a branch office there, which they still own. I he first white settler in llrownville was Richard llrown, who settled Aug- ust jo. 1854; and the first white woman was .Mrs. Thomas Kdwards. who came l lirnwn ville in 1855 She has a cousin living in the countv now who is the oldest living settler. The first school was established in 1855 with H. L. Thorpe as instructor. Mr. Thorpe established a debating society in the same year, hence we sec that debating is an old institution in this vicinity. About this time Dr. John McPherson brought a printing press from ( )hio. and together with R. V. Pumas edited the first newspaper, called the Nebraska Advertiser, which is still published in Auburn. I have shown something of the beauty of the place and also touched upon the business; now something of the great men llrownville has produced. She can boast of having been the home of more great men than any other city in Nebraska, and I doubt whether many cities in other states can equal her in this respect. Robert Y. Purnas. one of her foremost citizens, was a member f the 'Territorial Legislature, appointed Indian agent by President Lincoln, and in 1S7J elected iovernor of Nebraska. It is an interesting fact that both of his political opponents lived in llrownville also. Mow many cities have fur- nished their state with three candidates for (iovernor at the same election? (iovernor Pumas lived a retired life at llrownville until his death in 1904. at the age of 81 years, lie has a son now living at llrownville who owns the largest fruit farm in the county. Senator Tipton, another one of IIrownvillc’s great men. was elected I'nited States Senator in 1866, and re-elected in i86 y serving a full term, lie was also an able writer. The hook entitled “Portv Years in Nebraska is one of his productions. I could talk an hour. yes. half a day, about the different men of prominence from llrownville. of whom I have mentioned only two. but I must hurry on and say something about the great women. Miss (’ora Dates and Miss Arnold, two of the choicest musical spirits of their tune, hail from llrownville. Thc both went east about the same time and graduated from the New P.ngland ( onservatory of Music at llostou. I pon their return they became, in a way. rivals for local favor. Miss (iates gave an opera entitled ‘'The Pinafore; the following week Miss Arnold gave the “Sorcerer. Miss nit 111 mu Gates later taught at Doanc College, and it was under her instructi' n that the Pi o use Brothers and the A Her Brothers. well known not only in I'eru hut also over the state, received their earliest musical inspiration. Miss Arnold became the head of the musical department of the hnaha public schools, and gave a number of concerts in which was introduced the singing of 1,000 children. Such was Brownville. Now it is hardly a skeleton of its former sell, a sit- uation due partly to a railroad which the energetic people of that time helped to build. In the year of 1875 the people of Brownville voted Siou.oon worth of bonds to help build a'railroad which was to he named the Prow nville and Port Kearney railway, with its main terminal at Brownville. litis money was to In- paid after ten miles of track was laid and one train should run over the tracks. Well, the company of capitalists, or cut-throats. :is von may he pleased to call them, carried out the terms in the contract. I hey laid the track am! ran one string of empty boxcars over it, collected the $100.000 bonds, then tore up the rails and sold the bonds to supposedly innocent parties so as to he tilde to evade tile law. The matter was fought out in the courts, but the people eould do nothing, as the innocent parties held the bonds. I o this, «lay much of the Brownville property is in arrear of taxation because of the great burden o| paying for that phantom railroad of nearly forty years ago. In about the year following tile railroad fiasco, a great tire destroyed the courthouse, the jail, and other Countv buildings, and the people, thinking that Brownville could never rebuild, as she had taxed herself to the fullest extent to build the railroad, moved just eight miles due west to Auburn, which although it lias had plenty of time to grow is merelv a shadow of what Brownville would have been. The Brownville of today is a pictures |iie ruin. One wanders about the dreamy, deserted streets, or climbs to the green heights of Captain Mail ley's Riverside park, and looks long at the lazilv flowing and majestic Missouri, think ing of the strong-hearted men and women of those pioneer days, and what the must here have planned and hoped, but even his eyes return to rest upon the pine girt graveyard on the hill where Governor Furnas and Senator Tipton, and a great company of those who with them wrought fine deeds in those far off years for Nemaha, and for Nebraska, lie at rest. in ft ft (tr 7 r UitiUnrir aitii mtir ]Jmi i .i:i:Nh i: « 'k11:t'i i 11 is oi' nld IVrn that I would lirsi speak to you. Xot old Peru in the sense in which enthusiastic Alumni endearingly speak of it, hut the Peru of the 50s—Historic Peru. Half way hack in the nineteenth century, even before civil war times, there was a suggestion of a village here on the Missouri. A few sturdy-hearted pioneers, who had braved the hardships of a new country, had cast their worldly possessions into a few cabins near the river. It was best that they should cling together for even there the place was desolate enough. However, there was something stronger than the desire lor companionship which led them to build their houses mi the river's edge. The river was their one and ■� 111 means of communication with the outside world. I pon its friendly bosom glided the steamboats which carried to them messages from their cousins of the North and South, li was the steamboat that fortnightly brought them provisions from Si. Joseph. I hit dearer to the heart of the villager than the cargo was the breath of the outside world which it brought. '1'his was food and drink for his soul. .Miss Louise V. Mears. in her article. “Peru in Steamboat Days,” tells us something of the excitement the arrival of a boat caused: “That there was always keen interest in a steamboat's arrival, is not to be wondered at. for more varied and interesting cargos than these passenger freight boats brought could hardly he imagined. All in the brief space of fifteen or twenty minutes a glimpse of the outside world was opened up to the villagers. Sometimes there were soldiers aboard going to the forts, or as in the V)( s. accompanying the boat as a guard. 1 he sight of brightlv uniformed men in those ominous days was one not to he missed. The boats often carried Indian agents and annuities and supplies for the Indians. There were men going to the mines in Montana. Mormons imigrating to I tab, black-robed Jesuits and other missionaries. Indeed! history records the fact that Abraham Lincoln, when a young statesman, not yet talked of for the Presidency, made a river trip from St. Louis or St. Joseph to C ouneil HI tiffs with that most famous of river pilots. C aptain La Large, lie must then have looked out upon Peru.” The old boat made many a stop along the river, unloading as it waited, bits of its cargo at the other sprouting villages along the way—St. Deroin, Aspin i it i it I hit t wall, Xemaha City and llrownvillc—all claimed their share. and 1 « k-«.-iI with |uitc the same eagerness for the coming of the boat, as did tir friends in I’em. Xow the steamboat days are only a memory! )nly the pioneer men and women, survivors of an historic past, who know so well the tears oi joy and sadness that were shed in those old days, can shut their eyes and in memory drift back to the early days when the long low whistle of the steamboat filled their hearts with joyous anticipation and delight. In 1875 l'le railroad came to relieve the river of its cargo. As time rolled by even steamers spurned the path it offered. iiadually the deserted river shrank back from the hamlet, giving the railroad a broad right-oi-way. Lonely, perhaps, in its desertion! Longing, no doubt, in its depths for the old days when the white bird glided over its bosom, decking its breast with foam and beading its surface with ripples. Vet bravely it flows on! Noble in its persever- ence. sublime in its antiquity. And what of the villager Surely some of the choicest sons of the- e.ast must have come to us. for even in those early days these sons who had cast their lot with the struggling west were endeavoring to spread their civilizing inlluence in the western territory—having in mind, no doubt, the futures of those now- in their homes who were purely westerners. T11 1857 the postoffice was called Mt. Vernon, a name that was given to a sprouting hamlet on a neighboring hill, which long since has merged into the village of Peru. However, so long as there is a Mt. ernon ( emetery anil a Mt. Vernon Hall to remind us of the dream cite for which they were named, the tradition will live. In 1864. Mr. IV C. Cole owned a store where Mr. Jack s store now stands. He was also the postmaster. Since his store was on the Peru site rather than Mt. Vernon, the postoffice was then called Peru. 1 he year 1862 marked the beginning of the first public school. It was held in a building which stood where the Hr. Fairchild residence now stands. Since it was the only public building of anv sort it was used for a variety oi purposes. In 1870 Indian Hill was chosen as the site for the new school which was built that year, fine cant but gain a real love and reverence for Indian I I ill and its sisters, ii he reads the beautifully retinoic article, written by Miss Louise . Mears. entitled. “ 1 he Hills of Old Peru. She savs: I climbed old Indian in 1 111 fmn Hill at dusk, at tin hour when the veil of mystery and charm was tailing upon the real world—an enchanting hour h� r renewing an acc|iiaintance with the spot made dear by childhood memories. My eyes passed beyond the foreground, across the river, to the horizon hills in Iowa. These hare hills have always been the playground of lights and shadows that make a thousand varying pic- tures even day. Many an afternoon I have spent watching the changes of light and color reflected by the rock surfaces. Nearly always a soft haze veils the tops, and there is all the beauty of eastern mountain scenery. Many a sum- mer day through drooping eyes. I have looked at these hills when they were not Iowa hills at all. but the Adirondaks. Sometimes their soft violet beauty was lighted by a patch of brilliant gold that flitted from peak to valley, and dis- appeared as instantaneously as it came. Sometimes clouds of yellow sand blowing above the river bars, obscured the bills and robbed them of their soft 1« iveliness.' It is now high time that some mention be made of the hill which soon gains precedence over all its fellows, 1 speak of Normal Mill, as it is called. 'This hill, which is now studded with sturdy oaks and buildings, and peopled with representatives from everv county in the state, in the early 60s was cov- ered by a grow th of brush, with only here and there a tree. Deer and antelope wen known to browse upon its slopes in those days. At this time several of the pioneers who, as 1 have said, were anxious for the development of the territory and the future of their sons, began to con- sider establishing a Methodist Academy here. I he Legislature granted them a charter. Nine trustees were appointed, among whom was Mr. 1). L. Cole, who later became a member of the first State Board of Lducation for Normal Schools. These men subscribed a considerable sum with which to carry on the project. A three-story building was erected on the site now occupied by Mt. Vernon Mali. In i860 the cornerstone was laid. We must bear in mind that Nebraska was yet a territory, for it was not until 1867 that she became a state. That same year 1. J. Majors was sent from here to the first Senate. (Me had been a member of the territorial Con- gress in ’66). I le was instructed by the trustees of the Acadeim to offer the building and site t the State of Nebraska if it would establish a State l ni ver- sit v in l ern. I bis proposition did not meet the approval of the powci that were, but they determined instead to establish a State Normal School lieu , and appropriated the grand sum of S .ooo for its support. It is interesting to nit In 11 note that the latest appropriation made for the school was . I his u-lls its own story. Peru was the first State Normal School established in .Nebraska. Nearly it has increased in growth and popularity. The village below the hill has in progressed at any such rate, but has remained quite an unassuming river town. It is the Normal School which has made the name Pern a part of the vocabulary of hundreds and hundreds of people. Peru is known not only state-wide, but continent-wide. Visitors and. indeed, many students are wont to complain that Peru is. as tlicv saw a dead town: that the walks arc poor, and many of the buildings are unsightly. That forsooth it is not a county seal with a conventional brick courthouse. In short they would have it a “burly, progressive town. I won- der if it would not be well for us to consider that any town that is willing to pay the price may have miles of cement stone side walks: many have impressive stone banks and public buildings which bespeak commercial growth and popu- larity', but who would be so bold as to declare that such things as these are signs of beauty! Peru and its parent, the Missouri, arc as a picture book! We would have our town more progressive, to be sure, but we are blessed with such beauty of environment, such a heaven-made river valley , with its growth of tender saplings, its sliinv strand of silvery water, its walls of corru- gated hills, its roof of hazy, soft-lined atmosphere! Me should, indeed, be thankless, were we to require more. A visit to Cemetery Mill and a view of the landscape from theta- would win to Peru even the most sceptical. From there one can see the river valley- in all its beauty, in its gown of mam tints and colors. One can see for miles before him. There to the east is the village of Wat- son, Mo., to the north and east, nestling at the foot of the bluffs, is the little town of Hamburg. la. I he colors come and go with the shadows that play everywhere. A picture more beautiful than all the rest scents to present itself at every turn, and the river is the very soul of it all. through myriads of years it has moved on its way. quietly and peacefully.

Those who have been initialed will all agree that no one can offer a fair estimate ot Tern who has not looked out from the top of one of the many hills among which the village lies. d he experienced traveler, wherever he may be. hastens to find the highest point of land from which to get his bearings in a new country. If he is in I’aris. he climbs to the top of Kiffel l ower, perhaps, and there, with map in hand, he takes a bird's eye view of the Seine with its many windings, and the extensive forest of the famous Hois de Boulogne, but—incredible as the state- ment may seem—-all that he mav see in this hreiich landscape does not surpass the beauty that awaits one who looks out from Pike's Peak, or Ml. Vernon Hill at Peru, when the lights of morning or evening outline the distant hills. Standing on Pike's Peak, one sees to the north the fertile flood plane at the loot ot the westward curving hills, where cattle graze and rich crops grow. The river makes a mightv bend to the east around these acres of rich bottom- land. but thev are nevertheless the river's own. to which it lavs claim year by year. Diagonally across the level land extends the I Burlington railroad, and vet another and newer construction is the drainage ditch, which connects Puck creek and C amp creek with the Missouri river. Mere in winter the Peru hoys and girls emulate the Dutch children skating upon the canals. Along tin river hanks, in thick stands, the willows grow, the little pussy- willow and larger black willow. At a distance their dense green leafage sug- gests a more enduring forest than this plant of rapid growth, that springs up in a season to take possession of newly made river-hanks and island-bars. Nature makes use of this plant with its matted net-work of roots to hold the soft sands. Man emplovs it for rip-rapping along the hanks. 1 he width of the river is not readilv determined by the observer, for wooded islands are easilv mistaken for the opposite shore. Nor does the old river betray an suggestion of its mightv current, seeming olten as calm as the sleeping giant of old. Well does the old timer of Peru know the danger of toying with its in• In si n n treacherous waters, and his life is quite apart from it now that steamboat m longer call hint to its shores. Many have forgotten where the boats' landing used to be and the row of ware-houses along the water front, swallowed up by the river more than a quarter of a century ago. The further the eye travels across the river, the more beautiful the view becomes. There the Iowa hills appear veiled in hazy blue or dimmed by blowing sands until they resemble thin clouds. Truly, Tis distance lends enchant mem to die view. And robes the mountain in its azure hue.'' Have you ever climbed the long hill to Mt. ernon cemeteryWith conscious effort you walk up the long grade, head bowed, eyes downcast, when, pausing to get your breath, you lift your gaze to the horizon, and sud- denly your weariness disappears under the magic f the scene spread in un- measured expanse before you. Then the world is beautiful indeed! I he vil lage in the valley below! The Normal School buildings rising above the oak forest like lleidelhurg Castle on the Merman hillside! And. as evening ap- proaches, the deep green foliage starred with electric lights! Old Peru, aside from its being a term of endearment in school songs and sayings, reminds one that as a Nebraska town it has attained an ad- vanced age. Situated in the corner of the state earliest settled, it has passed the half-century mark, and possesses a history of its own. It has gone through the usual stages of a river town, deserted by boats and even by the river itself; but it has fared better than most of these towns, in that a Slate Normal School was located here and became the seat of early education and culture in Nebraska. The individual atmosphere that time alone can give a school and town is beginning to manifest itself, and that atmosphere, if it were to he described, might rightfully be characterized as educational, in the highest sense. Nature does and will exert its influence over the mind. As the northern poets of England reflect the beauty of the Lake Region, or Scott's novels give out the spirit of the Highlands, so the hills, forest and stream stimulate the imagination at Lent. 1 he youthful fancy, in the most formative period, far removed from distracting influences, may here follow those quiet paths that lead to true wisdom and natural development. inrl il t til It I r riumI a Bxm x (?)

SI� iplmrd Ri nni -U««r iEum'tt Httm ai y nrirtij I here arc few people in this age of economic and industrial progress that do not realize the importance of a college education. In other days, when subject matter was the one and only thing sought after, a college educa- tion was too little appreciated, and he who had brains enough often felt college attendance to be a waste of time, and so worked by himself. Today, we feel that at least of equal importance with the subject mat- ter of the school, of equal value with the development of the reasoning powers and concentration, is the social development and the abilitv to express one’s self before the public. I he fact is coming to be clearly recognized that, no matter how much a person may know, if he cannot express himself elearlv and vividly to the people with whom he deals, his light is alwavs, more or less, to be hidden under a bushel. It is for the purpose, primarilv, to enable the student to learn how to express himself in public, and secondarily, to give his listeners something both interesting and valuable, that literary societies are formed. It was for this purpose that the Everett Literary Society of IVru was organized in 1872. At first the society met each Friday in one of the class rooms. There a loyal, earnest band, few in numbers, but great in enthusiasm, met and carried out such programs as they could, striving through joys and vicissitudes to attain their ideals and uphold the standard of F.verett. Throughout the year iyio-i 1 we have made the work of the society really count in educational value: although diversional entertainment has secured its fidl share of attention. We have attempted, as far as possible, to suit each program to the occasion, giving a Thanksgiving program, a Christmas pro- gram just before the holidays, a valentine program, and so on. We feel that we have a right to be proud of Everett Hall, the home of our society. Last year the walls were papered, the woodwork painted: and a beautiful velvet carpet placed on the floor and platform. An official pennant of orange and black, the society colors, was adopted: and these are now in the possession of most of our members. This year artistic new curtains and new lights have been secured and these new conveniences, with the refurnishings of the year njop-io, combine to make our ball an inspira- tion to its members. ( ur adviser. Professor Cornell has. in every way. shown himself worth) of the confidence placed in him last year. In this connection we are proud to say that two of the most cultured and resourceful men of our state are loyal Everetts—Professors Crcgg and Cornell. t hi 1 h 11 ml 11 11 fhi’i 1 i friltnci' I LollDfS PltOCKAM CO.M.M 1TTKK. 1IIIST SMM KSTKIS Ik I si 11 ‘l ]: l; 111; 111� ; 111 11:m i� r Ni|jp« rl |{ol insioi 1 11« i uMMITTKK, SKCoNI� SKMKSTKIS A«i:ims SiixMnnl Si«� v« ns uvorinii Ivraiist' f� iltru,r l,’iilt r !

A glimpse at tlie records reveals the names of mam men and women who have gained honor and fame for themselves as educators, doctors, lawyers and men of public affairs. The first semester Open Session” program of the 1 Miiloniathean Society is an event that is looked forward to with great anticipation. The program was opened with a piano duet, brilliantly rendered, by the Misses Teieli and I low Ins. follow ed by a humorous dramatic sketch, effectively presented bv Mr. Russel Johnson and Miss b.dna Weekly. 1 he feature of the program was a symposium by Mr. Wear and Miss Okief. The singing of the Normal Male (Juartette (all the members of which are Philomathcans) was keenly appreciated by the audience. Miss Vesta Douglas charmed the audience with two exquisite musical readings. I he orchestra closed the program with a stirring selection from Mascagni, furnishing an appropriate climax to one of the most excellent programs of the year. At the beginning of the year Prof. Letter was appointed as adviser, and is deserving of much praise. In him we have a man of wide experience and unlimited resourcefulness and executive ability, peculiarly fitting him for this position, lie has shown that he has the interests of Philo at heart by bis faithful attendance at the various meetings of the cabinet and committees with which he is connected. 11 is suggestions have always been taken as good, sound advice by the society. Long may be continue as our adviser. hie of the new features this year is the adoption of a society pin: the pin chosen is very neat and attractive and is a very fitting symbol for the society. Kach year something new is added to the Philo home: recently an aisle carpet has been laid, and the platform extended in order to increase the width of the stage. The gratifying results of the year are in a large measure due to the effi eienl work of our presidents, P. II. Christensen and Miss Pernice O kief, in their respective terms of office: to the untiring efforts of the program com- mittees: and to the cheerful co-operation of the members of the society who are ever ready to “Respond to Duty. i t in h 11 infn il iii 11 Mirisl orison OFFICERS.

Admitting that the second statement might have been true in tile early progress of civilization, still the indications are that it could not be verified in the debates among high school and college girls of today. Among the colleges of this state one of the strongest debating societies is the Athenian of the Peru State Xormal. We are not able to ascertain the historical events leading to the founding of the society. That it might have been impelled by a strong suffrage sentiment sweeping over the land about twelve years ago. is a mere supposition. However that may he. the real motive of the organization is to enable girls to argue logically upon im- portant and practical questions. I hat they are able to do so is evidenced both in the preliminary and the inter-collegiate debates. Kor the power of handling the subjects in a capable manner, the society is indebted to Miss (ioshen. their adviser, whose statement of the fine points of argumentation was so clearly made that those entering the preliminaries for the first time readily grasped the importance, and those already familiar with the work were better prepared for future success. In the inter-collegiate debates of 1911 the Athenian Society is represented both l v its former president. Miss Martha (iiltner. and by Miss Mildred Hanna, president during the second semester. The discussions on political problems of the day have been very en- thusiastic. ( )ften there is an amusing side of debating such as was brought out in the woman’s suffrage question. After giving several convincing points in favor of suffrage for women. Miss (iiltner apologized to the girls by sav- ing. “I want it distinctly understood, girls, that I am by no means in favor of woman's suffrage. I really do not believe one word of the argument 1 have made. (hi the other hand. Miss Lintz, who had so effectively argued for the woman whose sphere was in the home, said in her drawling tone. “Well, I'm not sure but that I’m in favor of it. It really has some good points. Such an instance shows that in debating one can argue in an efficient manner whether or not one personally favors one’s side of the ques- tion. It i the opinion of present critics that a woman must present an argu- ment three times as strongly as a man in order to win any recognition. Then the .Athenians may well be proud of past achievements and look forward to splendid victories for the representatives in future inter-scholastic debates. O i hm ih'ctl fiftn h i jckaknkv i n:i:.

Xo other organization has so broad a scope as this associa- tion: it stands for the three-fold life, the complete and perfect development of the young man. with the ultimate aim of reaching the ideal---the Christ-like man. Xo one can appreciate the work of the association so keenly as the voting student who for the first time is living away from home, and finds him- self among new environments and strange people. Lor these students, the association has a committee of young men. who meet the new students at the trains, and find rooms and boarding places for them: but most important of all. extend to the new-comers, that cordial good-fellowship and feeling of comradeship which strengthens the bond of sympathy and at mice makes them feel that they are not strangers but a part of the institution. Throughout the whole school year the student receives help and inspiration from the associa- tion. through the social events, the Sunday meetings, at which often, men of wide reputation address the young men. through the I hide Classes and the Mission Stinlx Classes, and the noon-day prayer meetings in conjunction with the V. YV. C A. 'file committee having in charge the Sunday afternoon meetings have pro- vided meetings of great inspirational value, and have obtained speakers who have been of great help to the young men, and have spurred them on to greater efforts in striving to live the better life. Mission Studv Classes have been conducted together with the Y. Y. C. A., under the direction of Miss Mcars and Miss Rader. The purpose of these classes is to obtain a broader view of foreign missions: to study the how and whv” of missionary work. The association lias sent its full cpiota of delegates to the various Y. M. C. A. conventions, and is planning to publish a Handbook of the X. S. X. S. C hristian organizations.’’ The Y. M. C.

Hiram Burch, pas- tor of the church who took the subscription to build the first building for the Methodist Seminary which afterward became the State Normal. And it was I)r. J. ]•'. Neal, who then was and now is a trustee of the church, who gave the land which is used for the Campus. Pile present church building which was dedicated on July 24. lylo. was planned and built especially for the stud- ents who come to Peru. In it are twenty-two separate class rooms for the Sunday School. Some of these are used by student classes taught bv members of the faculty. 1 here is also a large room 101 the devotional meetings of the Epworth League. Ample accomodations are also provided for banquets and social gatherings. W ith such equipment, the church hopes to be increasingly a center of religious inspiration and Christian activity. 1'he BAPTISM U 1L RC 11 of l’eru offers to baptist students and others not affiliated with the other churches in our city, a church home and an op- portunity for important Christian activity. In the PI RLE SCHOOL, which meets each Sunday at io:oo a. m., are the Century Bible class (for young ladies) taught by C. R. Weldon (a college and theological Seminary graduate): the Young Men's class, taught by Prof. W. X. Delzell of the State Normal; the Pastor's class and other classes taught by good teachers. The B. V.

Y., June 28. 181)2. The CHRISTIAN C1ICRC1I at Peru is seeking to he a helpful institu- tion. The past year lias been one filled with many good things. Many stud- ents have in many ways assisted the church in its work. Our Bible school has largely been carried 011 by student workers. The same is true of the Christian Endeavor Society. Both are now doing work of the highest rank. The student needs an avenue for the expression of his spiritual longings and activities and this we have sought to supply. It is the effort of the min- ister and the church to conserve whatever of Christianity the student may have brought with him and also to add a larger vision of service. To this end much emphasis is laid upon the subject of missions. The subject of social uplift finds frequent mention in our pulpit. “The heart of this age dings to the Christ” and so it has been our effort to honor the Master in cadi activity of the church. 11m h matt it! hvtnliifhi Out Jnunhtii Iff II l It n}.t Nimmtl (Eatlmlir Aasnriaiunt j The X.

This has never been stronger or more effectively shown than at the present time. It is of interest to consider the following facts relating to our Alumni: We have a total Alumni of t,360. t )f these all but 34. or j.3 per cent, are living.

The club was organized for the purpose of creating a higher appreciation of dra- matic art and greater skill in presentation of the drama: also to give its mem- bers practice and drill in coaching plays for public school work. When the club was first organized the membership was limited to one hundred fifteen, but it was found quite impossible for so main to work to- gether. and for this reason, at the beginning of the second year, it was decided to admit only sixty members. This plan proved more satisfactory and has been continued during this year. The regular time of meeting is the last Tucsdav of every month. There was no play given in October, but instead, on the evening for the regular meeting, a Hallowe'en social was held in Everett Hall, which was en- joyed by all present. ( hi this same evening, a farce in one act was presented by Miss Hernice O'Kief and .Miss Vesta Douglass. The plays given this year have been much more finished than hereto- fore. Among the productions rendered were The Fortune Hunter.” which was verv interesting and entertaining. “A Christmas Chime.” a very unique little farce, presented by four characters, “Two Ghosts in White. and Saint t 'ecelia.” Mrs. Xettleton, our adviser, has taken a great interest in the members of the club and the work they have accomplished since last September. I11 order that the characters taking part in the plays might put forth greater effort, judges were chosen for the plays given during the first semester, and the victorious cast was very pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Nettlcton at her home In addition to the plays given, we have been very fortunate in securing several prominent readers. Miss Alice Howell. Professor of Expression of the State I'niversity, entertained us with a very artistic interpretation of Jeanne D'Arc. in December. The rendition of this poetic drama alone entitles her to a high place in her profession, and proves her an artist of great talent and ability. One of the greatest dramatic productions of the year occurred in April when “Cupid at Vassar by Owen Davis, was presented in the Xormal Chapel. Remarkable talent and skill was displayed in the presentation and impersonation of the different characters in this drama, and will long be remembered by mem- bers of the club and their friends.

The constantly growing interest in this line of work is evidenced by the large membership t the club, which includes nearly ninety people. ()n account of the large number of organizations within the school—all demanding time and effort, and to which a goodly per cent of the member- ship of the (icrman Club belongs—the club has changed from weekly to fortnightly meetings. This gives an opportunity for the development of an idea, which has been for a long time in the mind of the “ ercin. namely, the presentation of a series of short German plays. 1 his idea is now being carried out, to the great pleasure of all concerned. Several members of the Xormal faculty have given very enjoyable and interesting lectures on (ierman subjects before the ‘ ercin and Mr. Schott, of Peru, was induced to give a talk on his visit to the Passion Play at Obcrammcrgau in 1910. Thanks to the able advice of Professor hitcnack, the careful super- vision of the program committee and officers, the heart) co-operation ! the members, the 1910-11 German Club has been successful as no other vear has seen it.

For the first semester the following officers were elected: I’rof. M. C. Lellcr, president: Mr. [rank Adams, secretary: and Mr. Paul Stoehr, treasurer. For the second semester the officers were: Mr. Frank Adams, president; .Miss Viola Morris, secretary: and Miss Lottie T3oge. treasurer. The purpose of this organization is to afford opportunity for a broader culture in classical lines and to cultivate the social life of the department. The programs have been such as would be helpful to Latin teachers in their nigh school work. They have consisted of Latin songs, spell-downs on Latin vocabularies and principal parts, and guessing games involving leading char- acters of different periods of Roman historv. I hey have been varied oc- casionally by talks on subjects of interest to the club, and debates bv mem- bers chosen for the discussion. These programs have proved highly in- structive as well as entertaining, and all who have attended testify to the real profit and enjoyment derived from our meetings.

About $150.00 worth of supplies and apparatus were added to the department during the first semes- ter. including a Rdntgen Ray out- fit. a diffraction grating, a radium spinthariscope. and electrical vacuum tubes, besides three valua- ble sets of apparatus devised by I’rof. Spafford and Mr. Edison Pettit. The first is an ingenious device for demonstrating the laws of motion, and the other two are a Foucault Pendulum for demon- strating the rotation of the earth and a chronograph for recording accurate time. Several radiographs have been taken by our X-ray coil and tube, including the one on this page.

The opening number is unquestionably the best attraction that could be secured and is a decided innovation in our course. At first the committee was in doubt as to the advisability of engaging such an expensive attraction as the Le Brim (Irand Opera Quartette, (they receive $350.00 per night) but it was finally decided that our patrons could not afford to miss the excep- tional opportunity of hearing high class artists give grand opera in costume with their own stage settings. The company is composed of four grand opera stars, headed by Madame Le Brim, a native of Italy and one of the world's greatest sopranos. Madame Le Brim has a repertoire of fifty operas which she sings in four languages, altho she prefers to sing in English to English audiences. She is supported by Miss Laura Baer, contralto; Mr. Fritz Ilut- mann. tenor, who starred in the title role of Wagner’s greatest work—“Parsi- fal;” and Arthur Deane, a native of Australia, who was decorated by Queen ictoria upon his appearance in London as “ I onio in “Pagliacci, and who, as “Elijah,” was often pronounced the equal of the great Franccon Davies. The entire country is stirred at the present time over the disclosures which are being made by Ex-Lnitcd States Senator Frank J. Cannon in his articles in Everybody's Magazine. Himself, the son of the first counselor of the Mor- mon Church, brought up in the very heart of Mormonism, his lecture will be a revelation on this blot of American society. The third number will be an interpretative recital by Phidelan Rice, a reader of the class of Leland T. Powers. Mr. Powers himself says of him; “Knowing the man as 1 do. I do not wonder at the astonishing success lie has met with in the last two years.” (filbert A. Eldridge, character impersonator, is one of the most popular men on the Lyceum platform today. His characterizations are in costume and range from the country hoy to Samantha Allen, a combination of wit, wisdom, fun and pathos. The closing number will he the star attraction produced by Ralph Dunbar, “The Hussars.” This company consists of nine men, musicians of extraordinary ability, who appear in uniform during part of their program which is a com- bination of glee-club, brass sextette, and military numbers. This unique musi- cal organization meets two demands of the majority of our patrons—military splendor and action, and the rollicking spirit and dash of the college glee club. fhe committee believes that, on the whole, the course will prove the must entertaining and instructive of any ever given in Peru. f � M Jtnntfml fnrht-fir i K. .1 ' • 11 I ! -' I !

He is a hospitable host, cheery, genial, and «always ready to lend service where service is needed. While in the Kansas I’niversity he studied law. and is a member of tile law fraternity Alpha Tau )micron. After leaving school he went «as coach and director of the boys, to the Baptist Seminary at Ottawa. Kans.as. lie was there two years and then went, in the same capacity, to the William Jewell, also a Baptist College, in Missouri. While here Brumage placed William Jewell on its feet in matters of athletics, lie was the first coach that they had ever had who brought forth a team of football players strong enough to defeat the Haskell Indians. Kansas I’Diversity. Baker I’Diversity and Mis- souri I’niversity. His coaching is regarded by nun who know as the best in that section of the countrv. Since coming to Peru. Professor Brumage has shown himself a willing, efficient, and capable worker. 11 is bovs exhibit their training by the- efficient manner in which they have handled the games tliev have played. In toot hall, basketball, and baseball. Brumage. by his personal knowledge of the games, has made his men respect him as a coach and honor and love him as a friend. His own personal life is an inspiration, for he practices the precepts he preaches. His home has become the stopping place of his friends, who appre- ciate the hospitality shown them bv his familv. The school, faculty and pupils feel safe in leaving the reputation of athletics in Peru in the hands of mu w ho lias shown himself so worthy of the trust. tint Intinhii fifltixi.r jfmithall Ufeam nf 1910 1 rnler ilit direction of Coach Pirunmgc this team may he characterized as an “all star” team. Lacli man filled his position so efficiently that it is almost impossible to say that one man is better than another. The “old men maintained the splendid records they had already established, and the “new” men developed rapidly and soon proved themselves capable football players. The first game of the season was played at Lincoln October i. It has become the custom to open the season's work with a game with the Iniver- sity. The purpose of the game is a good practice under new rules and a test of the strength and nerve of the men. The game with Amity, October 8. was the first game on the home field, flu teams were evenly matched and the game was hotly contested. The score was 16-0 in favor of Peru. I’ellevue defeated us October 15 with a score of 11-0. The game was very unsatisfactory in every respect. As pretty a play as was ever seen on a football field was made by Stevens in this game when he broke through the r.ellcvue line and made our eighty yard run with a “near touch (?) down at the finish. The intense rivalry between Doane and Peru made the game with the Doane Tigers. October 21. one of the most interesting games on the sched- ule. The Doane men wore heavier than our hoys and for that reason line bucking was almost impossible and the game was featured by many punts and forward passes. The score stood 0-0. This was one of the best played games of the season and every Peru man merits special mention for his splen- did work. The score 0-0 was repeated in the game with Hastings, November 12. This was also an interesting game, for Hastings aspired to the championship, and as usual our boys lrad to overcome what they lacked in weight with speed. The last gridiron game for the season of 1910 was played away from home with our sister Normal at Kearney. Peru won the game with a score of 12-5. I !very man on the team played “star football and Shaver especially distin- guished himself throughout the entire game. And so the season ended with a record of two games won. one lost and two tied. Peru totaled 28 points in college games while her opponents made onlv if . In every respect the team of 1910 reflects credit upon the school. The loyalty and support of the students was greater than ever before. The support by the band and enthusiastic demonstrations by the students were features of every game. It is to be keenly regretted that Lelwick, Stevens, Stoddard. lUaekstone and Renfro will not he with the team of 1911. fun lnnnhrtl (fftnmrrn Arthur (Srliuirk (}J) fid is the much-admired ami competent cuptaiu- manager of this year’s foot-ball team.

Ihit the Peru girls were getting experience even in defeat; they played the game for all they were worth, and from that time on they were not defeated. Cottier Cniversity team was defeated both at Peru and Cottier. Moth games were contested tip to the last whistle, and in the one on the Cottier lloor. especially the final score in favor of Peril, was not made until the last two minutes of the play. Then a picked team of the State Cniversity girls, not the regular team, was played the next day after the Cottier game. There Peru won again. The Western Xormal game was too easy to he interesting for the first team, so in the second half the entire second team was put in and still at the end of the game the score was 7 to 1 in Peru's favor. Elm- wood Iligh School was then met and defeated; shortly after Peru played the return game with a score of 27 to 16 in favor of Peru. The girls have played good ball all year. Tliev have been faithful to their team, their coach and their school, and have stood for the best in conduct and in playing. Forsythe and I lanks have played excellent guard. Osbourn as center and Meek as center and forward have made some fine throws, and the steady work of Edna Goff as forward has often won the day when a tight position was to he escaped. The girls’ class teams also deserve special mention. The Freshman girls won from the Sophmores only after hard playing. The High School then won from the Juniors. The two victors met in one of the prettiest and hardest games of the year when the Freshmen out-played the High School girls at every point. This left the final game for the girls between the Seniors and Freshmen, as was the case between the hoys’ teams. The Seniors were taller than the Freshmen and the game promised at first to he an easy one for them, but the Freshmen's quick, snappy team-play soon convinced the Seniors they had to work. At the end of the game the score was 8 to 8 and play was continued until two more points were made. Grace Mrunsdon, for the Seniors, threw a field throw that won the day. All the girls on the class teams played very well. Mention of one would rccpiire mention of the good work of all. The class team material was good enough for first team players and the contests, altho fought with all the strength of the players, were free from hard feeling or class strife.

After being cordiallv reeeive l. the quests were presented with appropriate little Thanksgiving favors. These were in the form of small booklets and contained lists of the contests in which all the guests participated. Perhaps the most interesting of these contests was the “1 bachelor's Putton Race.” in which the girls enjoyed the rare privilege of watching the bovs sew on buttons. Xc� twithstanding the fact that C lyde Hutchinson, in his eager- ness to win out in the race, seized the material with both hands and savagelv pulled the needle through with his incisors. Stanley Chudlev. having the ad- vantage of long experience, was awarded first place. The laughter caused bv the skill in needlecraft which was displayed by various members of the class bad scarcely subsided when all were asked to compete in the “Risible Expan- sion Rivalry. The judges of this contest were obliged to use great discrim- ination in arriving at a final decision. After careful consideration, however, they pronounced Ethel Justice capable of presenting a broader grin ' than anv other member of the Senior class. Various other amusements followed which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. .Miss Austin and .Miss Peck delightfully entertained the guests with in- strumental music, and Miss Danielson and little Miss (ienevieve (iregg with vocal.

Mis beautiful baritone voice was rendered perfect by the fire and animation of inspired youth, and sweeter tones can scarcely he imagined by imperfect human mind. Rickies, sandwiches, doughnuts, and cocoa were enough to gladden the heart of every Senior there, and after the lights had gone to rest the big. round moon looked in at the window upon the night's revelry, and who can dispute the fact that she. resplendent in her robes of gold and white, smiled proudly down on the scene: and it is said that just as the clock struck eleven, her melo- dious voice could be heard, wafted down through the miles of ether, saying: “S ICS ICS I X-I-I-OR S—SL XI () RS!” |I. itt.

Accordingly, on September 28, about 8 p. m., boys coming from all direc- tions were seen making their way to the Cynmasiitm where a rare treat was in store for them. Lxeellent addresses were delivered by Professors Meath. Del- zell. Krtimage. and Cregg. These addresses emphasized in a comprehensive manner the necessity of strong, active. Christian organizations within our school, and made plain the fact that no school is complete without such an rganizati 11.

The Sophomore hoys gave a bonfire picnic in honor of the young ladies of the class. The camp in the woods was reached at 7:30 and two large bonfires were built, over which the campers prepared supper. Great delight was taken by all in roasting weinies” on a forked stick over the fire. )ct. 28. The Special and Trainer classes enjoyed a Hallowe’en party in the basement of the library. L'pon their arrival they were greeted at the door l ghostly figures who extended to each a cold, clammy hand. The evening was pleasantly spent by playing the good old Hallowe'en games such as Mobbing for Apples” and Fan for Your Fortune. Oct. 28. The Juniors held a jolly Hallowe'en party in the engine house. The rooms were decorated in true Hallowe'en style, everything presenting a weirtl, ghost-like appearance. Refreshments of apples and pop-corn were served. A short program was given, consisting of a talk by President Hayes, a reading by Miss Lee, and a true hair-raising ghost story by Prof. Dclzell. )ct. 31. The Mt.

The Juniors again met. to celebrate the decline of the old year and the birth of the new. The rooms in the engine house were decorated with Christmas garlands and holly. Many new and interesting games were played, one of the best being Romances. The crowd was divided into families and after refreshments were served, each family had to provide some stunt for the entertainment of the rest. After this, various members of the class attempted making poetry. This at- tempt proving futile, the evening's jollities came to a close. January it;. Professor and Mrs. Hoyt entertained the laboratory assist- ants of the science department. A smelling contest of common laboratory reagents first occupied the attention of the guests, and later a picture guessing contest. The pictures were of those present taken at different periods of their lives: one of Miss Prunsdon at ten months of age required no little amount of studv to be recognized. However, after the strenuous efforts put forth in these contests. Professor Duncanson rewarded all by performing an experi- ment which allowed them to observe their brains.

The thirty-eight buildings and grounds of the Omaha Public Schools are valued at $2,549,975. Omaha pays its teachers $460,000 per annum. Besides the public schools there are in Omaha two universities, including medical, dental, law and pharmaceutical schools. Brownell Hall is an Episcopal school for girls. Besides ten parochial schools the C alholic people maintain four academies and boarding schools. With these Omaha spends $1,300,000 annually for schools. To visit the Omaha schools is an inspiration to any teacher. The buildings are the most mod- ern in the West. To secure a position in the Omaha schools is to secure the highest place in the state as a teacher it means something besides the best salaries. Omaha has always employed scores of Peru graduates.
