'This expression induced President Crabtree, who was keenly interested in promoting higher learning, to extend the curriculum two years hevond the regular professional course. President I laves has kept up this excellent police of his predecessor. A recent ruling of the State board of Kducation gave the movement an impetus when it made possible the con- ferring of a degree upon a student completing a lout- e n college course, the last year of which was done at the school granting the degree. This has led to the organization, permanently, of a graduate class at I cm. There comes to the Senior receiving his diploma a momentary feeling of satisfaction—the feeling that he has reached the goal his ambition placed for him. However, he soon realizes his limitations when he comes in contact with the demand of the times for efficiency and broad scholarship. Straightway he sets a higher goal and proceeds to climb. Wlial more natural than that he should return to the Alma Mater lie loves so well? He can pay her no greater tribute. He can show in no better way his appreciation of the broad-minded. big-hearted men and women who proved themselves his friends during his undergraduate days. Thus has the (iradiiale Class originated and grown. There is no reason in the world why its beckoning finger should not he heeded by much greater numbers. I'.very facility for a richer, broader education is offered. We wish it to prosper, not from selfish motive, but from the desire to extend its privileges universally. Thirlu mu' tii h r I i a i 4 Thirty-two U h r 19 1 4 if is not our object to tell lure tile complete story of tile ambitions and accomplishments, of die tireless efforts and achievements f our beloved ad- viser, Miss .Mattie Cook Ellis. Nor is it possible here to estimate lu-r in full proportions—her life, her work, her character—each speaks for itself. An impulse of deep appreciation and heart felt gratitude prompts ns to pav highest tribute to her whom we tenderly regard as our champion, coun- selor and friend. She is a moving and inspiring spirit in our school life: she is enthusiastically and keenly alive to all that most interests the students: joy in her work and delight in her students seem the supreme pleasures in her life We feel the inspiration of her magnetic personality, her sympathetic in- terest and her concurrence in all the big and little happenings of our lives: lie is a friend, ever ready to assist with valuable counsel and with cordial, generous understanding. Her cheer, her optimism, her sane and wholesome advice Serve as an anodyne to the discouraged and restless. The quiet strength of her useful life seems to shed a radiance as we recall her years of service and devotion to her work and to her friends, prominent among whom are her students. In the years to come our happiest reminiscences will hover around her whom we are privileged to call friend, nor shall we be unmindful of the fact that whatever success we have achieved or do achieve is in no small measure due to the inspiration of her sympathy and friendship. Were we to erect a monument to her name, it could not be more enduring than the love, honor and esteem with which we hold her: it would stand no more beautiful and inspiring than the life of our adviser, leaflet', friend—Mattie Cook Ellis.

A class possessing quality in addition to quantity is indeed worthy of laudation. That the class of 1915 has contributed more than its share of arms, legs, heads, and feet to that mighty human octopus, the stu- dent bode. is a self-evident fact. That we possess quality in proportion to our number remains to he proved. I his, too. should he a self-evident fact, but out of deference to our superior brethren and sistern. who may feel inclined to negative our redoubtable deeds and wondrous brilliance, it be- comes our painful dutv to blushingly set forth a few chronicles of our past achievements—past, but not forgotten. Far be it from us to boast. Indeed, it is unnecessary for ns to boast Let the cold facts speak for themselves! History seems to repeal itself, in that the (unior class of each succeeding year has been noted for its efficiency along manv lines. It has always been ably represented in social and intel- lectual circles, on the debaters’ platform, and in athletics. And. as Juniors, we. too, have kept up this high standard of excellence. Our class machinery has run smoothly without slipping a cog ever since the election of our worthy officers, and under the guidance and wise counsel of our true friend and adviser, I'rof. Smith. Within the class itself we have en- joyed manv delightful social events, including weenie roasts. picnics, parties, “shirt-tail parades,” and all those affairs which go to make the life of every class. Then, aside from our own (loin’s. we have entered with enthusiasm into all the school activities. We have contributed readers, singers, players of musical instruments, dancers, and dramatists to countless programs during the year. ,svi entu-six ■fj r r u tt i a u For the Normal debating squad wo produced two star debaters—Scott and Nelson.

We lost in neither football nor bas- ketball interclass contests, but proved irresistible to our opponents, in spite of strong opposition. We were also victorious in the girls game, much to the chagrin of the upper classmen. Four strong men from our ranks lined up with the Yarsitx football team—each an artist in his line. Three were given places on the Varsity basketball team, and well did they deserve the honor. Ilorchers. France. Majors. Ilrundson and Kunz represent our share of the girls’ Varsity basketball squad. To a witness of the girls’ games these names will bring back visions of truly tine playing. We could go on thus naming our various accomplishments indefinitely, but that would be unbecoming in a class desiring greatness in its truest sense. After all. class spirit and pride should readily bend before that nobler and motc altruistic passion—Peru spirit. As the Seniors leave us. we fall heir to their mantle of leadership, which they have so ably worn. We receive it gladly, yet humbly, and with their worthy efforts and superlative example as stepping-stones to even greater achievement, mav we continue to be a credit to our Alma Mater and an inspiia- tion to the undergrads.” I or— Lives of Seniors all remind us We can make our lives sublime.

Nlnctjbflvc ©It e 13 14 priinmath?a« livery school boasts a “spirit. College songs arc fairly infested with allusions to that mysterious, intangible school spirit. which is supposed to float about the campus the majority of the time, and whose presence is espe- cially invoked upon occasions of athletic contests. New students in school follow the example of the upper classmen, and rah. rah. until the air is rent for the dear Alma Mater and the Something and the Something Klse. So they think they have manifested a school spirit. I Jut a true school spirit is something deeper than this mere effervescence of veils and song's. There comes to one sometimes, in the midst of the rush and bustle of school life, a certain sense of co-operative ownership—of posses- sion. This school becomes our school,” my school. and in a flash there arises a vision of the vast possibilities with which the beloved school is en- dowed. A new purpose is born—to be loyal to the school: to uphold its tra- ditions, not because they tire traditions, but because they may strengthen the school in becoming a potent influence in the betterment of humanity: to pat- tern one's own life upon a nobler ideal; and ever and always to stand for the same advancement of the school itself. Peruvians believe that “Peru spirit can be best promoted by those or- ganizations known as literary societies. And. indeed, the past has proved that the literarv societies of Peru have really done a great deal to raise the stand- ards and ideals of the school. A literary society has many and rather varied aims. It provides many means of expression for a student; it affords training in executive business; it has a social value that must lie counted upon. These arc but a few of the many angles at which such an organization touches stu- dents. But the ulterior aim must never be forgotten—a bigger, better school for the sake of a better humanity. Because of the extreme loyalty and the untiring work of her members, Philoniathean bus grown and prospered. Philo ball will no longer accommo- date the large membership, and of late even the seating capacity of the high school auditorium appears to be taxed, if one may judge by the number of persons sitting “two in a seat on society night. Never has the life member- ship been at a higher tide, never has the treasury been in better condition, never have Philo members had more enthusiasm than now. Philo at present is clamoring for new buildings for the Normal. A new Trainers' Building can surely not be denied long, and why not boost for a Socictv Hall also? The first floor of this building might be given over to the two literary societies for their meetings and social events, and the second floor might be used for a museum, for which the school lias great need. Philo is pushing this idea of more buildings for Peru, not only in school, but among Philoniathean Alumni also. Of course, there are other avenues for improvement besides those men- tioned. and of these Philo is ever conscious. Tt is the chief desire of the so- ciety to make Philo ideals Peru ideals, and to make Peru ideals those of a broader morality and a greater citizenship.

As an association we have worked together with nobler ideals of C hris- tian character and higher standards of social enjoyment of school life. 1 liese purposes have been realized through the Sunday meetings and noon-day prayer meetings, in which we have given something of our own individuality, and in turn received something which has encouraged and strengthened us for each succeeding day.

Its merit lies in the opportunities which it affords to its members in dra- matic work. Its success depends upon its exclusiveness of membership, its strong corps of officers, and its most earnest and accomplished adviser. Miss Ruby Ferguson. Through the efforts of its adviser, the school as a whole has been privileged to enjoy the interpretation of “King Lear ’ by Prof. Ilenry L. Southwick of the Emerson School of Oratory. Also under her direction one of the strongest plays ever presented by the club occurred in March, when the famous play, “The Lion and the Mouse ’ was given.

Xo movement has been undertaken in the history of the organiza- tion, hut that it has been connected in some way with the promotion and the upbuilding of the mother school. I lie last definite moves have been successful beyond the fondest hopes of their originators. As a result of the inauguration of the life membership campaign, by A. J. Stoddard, president, and B. C. Hendricks, secretary, in 191- the Association was pul on a strong financial basis. More than one hun- dred members of the present graduating class have been pledged for life mem- bership. I he campaign, which was begun in 1912, was continued in ty 13 h.' President (. . K. Benson and Seeretarv M. C. Lellcr. who. with the aid and advice of the trustees, took a step in advance which further strengthened the organization and makes it a greater factor for good. 1 he plan of making the Association a corporate bodv under the laws of Nebraska, so that it can le- gally buy and sell property or otherwise invest its accumulated capital, will perhaps have as far-reaching effects as anv other move ever inaugurated. It is the present plan of President E. Y. Marcellus and 1 rcasurer M. C. Lellcr to loan the funds in secured loans so that in time the Association will have an endowment fund large enough so that its proceeds will meet the lim- ning expenses of the Association. In that Day. saith the prophet, thete shall rise a building upon the campus known as the 'Alumni Building. Our next plan is certainly one of the great progressive movements foi higher education. There was a time when the present course met the neci-s of the higher educational demands of the state. But the cry of tlu times is for four years above the present high school course. lo meet this demand the present Board of Education wisely ruled that a degree of bacheloi o for four years above the present high school course, lo meet this demam of the present Board of Education wisely ruled that a degree of bacheloi oi Education should be granted to anv student completing two years above t le present prescribed course, providing the last year's work was done in the No' mal granting the degree. The Back to Peru movement marks a new eta m the history of the school. This year, the first after the decisive action of tlu Board of Education in favor of graduates earning degrees, the enrollment 111 the degree class is twenty-five, with eight completing the required woik for Bachelor of Education degree. It is the plan of President Marcellus and the other officers of tlu Asso- ciation, to make the year 1914 a beginning of the Back to Peru movement, which shall result in a four-vear course, when a diploma shall mean .1 tlegtee. when “four long years in college shall be history as well as song.

It is a dial) little town—drab both in paint and in morality. ’o particular «listinguisluueui can it boast, being neither a Sodom nor a New Jerusalem. I o those oi us who have lived in it and who know tlu design of the wall-paper in every man's house, it is full of pleasant memories and sweet associations, but to the rank- outsider it is exactly like other villages which speckle the landscape of our western prairies. But it is this similarity, this very I YCI( I -f'I S . that makes a discussion of mv home town worth while. As it-- difficulties and troubles are the dif- ficulties and troubles of ). j ) oilier little towns, the solution of its problems means the possible answer to some great industrial questions, which have of late been interesting the general public. It is an agricultural necessity, the result of wheat and corn and cattle. Its function is to supply the people of the surrounding farms with a social and commercial center: to mediate between them and the city. It business should not be confined to competing with its sister towns in matters of spider-legged water towers and electric illumination, but should include educational, social and moral improvement so that it may be attractive and beneficial to the farmer whose crops must be marketed and whose sons and daughters must have training and culture. Our Town, while thriving in a small way. is not doing one-tenth of what it might accomplish in the matter of general uplift. It is not paying for value received. Could it but once get a vision of its possibilities: could some miracle inject new life into its sluggish veins, it would arise and meet the obligations which the twentieth century imposes. We await a prophet or an earthquake. Meantime, vve inav profitably speculate on ways and means by which improve- ment might proceed, should we over exert ourselves. In the first place, there might he organized in )ur 'Town a Citizens Club whose avowed purpose would he the advancement of the town in every wav Many towns have tried this scheme already. In fact, nearly every Ne- braska village points with pride to its Commercial Club, or its Boosters’ Club, or its Get-Together Association, whatever the name may he. But the organ- ization T propose for Our Town would he a broader one than the majority of those with which we arc familiar. It would not only include every mail in town willing to pay a small membership fee. hilt would seek recruits among the farmers who have interests in the town. Its slogan should he co-opera- tion. It would make its appeal to men primarily through their pocketbooks. If properly managed, interests might he aroused as never before, and the club could be made a permanent feature Lectures by experts, and short courses in cooking and farm management, might he arranged for during the winter; Otic hundred thirty-four } v r it u t a u prizes might he offered for bests raised or made during the summer months. ()ncc the movement is started, there is no saving1 where it might stop. It would not he very long before people could be shown that some kind of public library is almost a necessity, if they would know more of modern methods in various trades and occupations. The library question might be agitated the secemd winter or at some time when interest in other movements seems flagging. Technical and agricultural magazines and books, government bulletins and maps would probable be the best selection for the first install- ment of reading material. The beginning would have to be small, but if the library could be proved to be of use. it would grow steadily, and with it would grow in the community a zest for knowledge, a desire to be abreast of the times. Awakened interest and quickened intelligence would, sooner or later, seek out the schools as a weak place in the civic armor. Here, of all places where efficiency should be at a premium, will be found waste, obsolete methods and antiquated curricula. htr Town people believe in education. Everyone ad- vocates it from the banker, who sends bis children to eastern boarding schools, down to Daddy Norton, whose proudest boast is that his son, Ziny. speaks algcbrv like a native. Nevertheless, we have not been willing in the past to concern ourselves with the school question deeply enough to demand that our schools shall keep step with the progress of civilization. We have been con- tent to pattern our system after an iron-clad model, and have not been keen enough to adapt it to the needs and requirements of life in our particular lo- cality. A beautiful system we have in Nebraska—eight'years in the giadcs. and the bov is shoved on to the high school. Four years of amo-amas-amating here, and be is supposed to go on to college. After due time lie is graduated, and the world is his for the fencing. Singularly, this perfectly logical, nicely adjusted, machine education lias not proved out. In Our I own a small pei cent of graders stay more than one year in high school, and a still smaller pei cent of high school boys and girls ever finish college. Tom Jones cannot un- derstand why he must spend four years stuffing his brain with nth power formu- lae and long lists of seeminglv unrelated dates. His father builds the best kind of houses without using a single Latin conjugation: bis uncle manages a half-section f land, and does not know that a Diet of Worms can lia e other than decapitalized interpretation. He sees high school graduates taking positions that an average eighth-grader could fill, heeling his own lack of training, he soon leaves school to enter a trade—perhaps even in spite of pa- rental advice—and loses the inspiration that conics from a contact with books. As a remedy for early school leaving 1 would suggest a change of cur- riculum. Strong courses in soils, crop management, commercial geography and arithmetic, practical civil government, constructive English, usable manual training and domestic science might be offered. Anything may be added to the course of study that will benefit boys and girls and that will tend to keep them interested in school. ()f course, a broader outline of study would neces- Onc hundred thirty-five cT h r 19 14 sitate better and more expert teachers, which improvement woiihl. in turn, make a greater drain upon our pockcthooks: but this would be borne cheer- fully, if returns were certain. Our down must know that its future welfare is dependent upon the wel- fare of its children. Too much regard cannot he shown for the education of its voting people. Neither can their social intermingling he neglected. ( hir Town has now little to offer anyone, let alone our young boys, in the way of social recreation. ireat-hearted philanthropists have at varioti times offered us pool halls and saloons, but these have not seemed to accomplish the good their owners, no doubt, intended. The problem of the hoy or voting man may be solved by offering him a chance to exercise both his mental and his physical powers in competition with his fellows, and by providing a place where he may meet others of his own sex and age for the purpose of clean conversation and companionship. Y. M. C. A.’s have accomplished this ill some towns: but. as ur Town boys would probable be wary of the initial “C7' a Junior Improvement Society might be organized, taking as its model tin association previously suggested. (lym- nasium equipment of a simple sort might easily be obtained, and room would be gladly provided. Winter evenings would then find restaurants empty and box-car card-rooms deserted. o-reat social handicap in Our Town is the lack of a social center. We need a better town hall, or an opera house, or some kind of building where people mav center their interests. It is not feasible to use the school house, as some communities do, because of the inconvenience such use would cause the school and school-teaching staff. This, however, is purely a physical dif- ficulty, and will he overcome in time. One side of life in my home town has not yet been mentioned, and that is the one which deals with our religious views. In ( htr Town there are three churches of about equal antiquity, architectural beauty and deadness. Kach has its meager little feminine congregation, its fruitless round of morning and evening Sunday services, and its dreary mid-week prayer meeting attended by half a dozen old ladies, the minister and the janitor, who fain would escape. Not one of these churches can afford to pay its minister a salary that is a fair livin' wa ’’c. or that would be any inducement to a man of talent and ambition. combination of these churches would effect a great economy, not only m actual expenditures for heating, lighting and general up-keep of buildings, but ilso in effort. One large sewing circle would he more efficient than three small ones. e very good minister could he supported by the com- bined salaries which the churches now pay individually. Main objections to this plan of combination would present themselves, which arc mainlv outgrowths of prejudices and animosities of long-standing, and it is these objections which will make church reform the slowest of all re- forms in Our Town. People hesitate long before giving up the traditions they have cherished from childhood; hut it is time to awaken to the absolute neces- sity of religious reorganization and become broad enough to make concessions (hit innult't tl thii’t fj r r it tt t a it to each other’s beliefs. If our ministers could forget their theologv and study humanity with a sympathetic insight into its vices and its virtues. Our Town niifjht see a light. We want to hear of man’s obligations to man. rather than his relation to some dim Divinity, the conception of whom is not the same in any two religious sects. We want a workable religion. In all these matters of business, school and church we need to find a common ground and work with one accord to a common end. We lack a co- operative spirit, and it is that and that alone which will he the agent of our sal- vation. I see in my imagination a unified town—a community of open-minded American men and women who have the same ideal of citizenship and strong sense of civic and social responsibility. Our Town will never he perfect: but, by a continual urging of certain specific reforms, and by determined effort on the part of those who have been able to get a little broader vision than the usual one. perhaps ( )ur Town may hope sometime to touch the hem of Per- fection’s garment. Many conditions can be traced which evidence progression instead of ret- rogression in the future of the small town. W ithin two or three generations, the foreigner, who has been a source of anxiety and uneasiness in our land, will be one of us. Indeed, it may be he who shall supply the impetus which shall send tis farther ahead than we have been heretofore, hor it is his sons, now. who control our banks, our markets, our best farm lands. 1 he substan- tial German and the dominating Bohemian will not be a detriment to us. 1 hey are mingling more and more with native-born Americans, and with each other; and the result will be a new brand of Americans, who. though of sadly mixed ancestry, will he, on the whole, a more vigorous, more sturdy variety. Another straw which shows what way the wind blows, and which is in- dicative of a change in rural life, is the increasing agitation of the back-to- thc-land idea. Men are beginning to awaken, to some extent, to the truth that a fortune lies in the soil for him who has the courage to seek it. Many have asserted that a closer communication with the cities, by means of parcel post, extended mail service and telephones, would finally result in the obliteration of the village. This assertion is not liable to be substantiated. More than ever does the country need the small town. It may be that the use the country will make of it in time to come will not he (juite the one we have been accustomed to attributing to it: but that it will find a place in our social system, is beyond doubt. The mission of the little town of Xebraska is to minister to the physical and intellectual needs of the farming community to which it owes its being. It must attract the farmer. It must show him that it can give his boy and his girl something in the way of education that will be valuable to them; and it must provide the farmer himself with a means whereby he can grow morally and intellectually. These things ()ur Town must do. if it would not suffer extinction. EVA ROWE, ‘14. (tin lunufrtil tJiirtf svrcn cl h r 13 14 What tu Srai) One has to reach twenty-five, J suppose, before one senses the relent- lessly narrow limits of the individual life. Year by year the cords that hold ns to one place, one group of acquaintances, one daily routine, hind more tightly, and we begin to sec that for its there is one tiny corner, though the world is big. “In the Cage” Henry James names one such fettered life. 11 is phrase might describe the existence of any of us. had we not power to escape at will out of that cage through the magic of great hooks. Arnold Bennett scores those people who look upon literature as an ele- gant accomplishment. “To him who comprehends what literature is. and what its function is,” says Dennett, “this attitude is simply ludicrous. 1 do not think I am guilty of rhetorical exaggeration in asserting that he who has not been presented to the freedom of literature has not wakened out of his prenatal sleep. He is merely not horn; he can't see: he can't hear: he can't feel—in any real sense; he can only eat his dinner. Annoying is the spectacle uf so main thousands of individuals going about under the delusion that they are alive, when, as a fact, they are no nearer being alive than a hear in win- ter!” That is gospel truth. We know, and we know, too, that it concerns ns especially to live in the larger sense of the word—that it is a sin against so- ciety for am teacher to he, and remain, a hopelessly commonplace person. Xo man who is not filling his reservoirs of inspiration day by day has any bus- iness posing as a source of inspiration to others. “We cannot get away from the rreat books of the world,” says Hamilton Mabie, “because they preserve and interpret the life of the world.” Hut how arc we to get to the point where, honestlv. the books that the judgment of ages calls great will give us the thrill, the tingle of genuine pleasure? Well. we must go into training. A man on the Varsity eliminates pie and candv from his daily fare; lie goes in without grumbling for stiff, reg. ular dailv practice: and the prospect of winning the game, of attaining the goal that he counts worth while, makes self-denial hearable, and lends a zest to the day-by-day grind. How about the parallel case of the reader who is in earnest about the vital business of self-culture? I'irst. as to elimination, in order to get into training. Begin on the newspapers. Choose one good daily and make that do. Glance over the headlines, decide what is news and what silly gossip, or men- tal garbage, as some one puts it. Read the important articles as rapidly as possible, and let the rest severely alone. If you swallow the details of the pink sheet, the beauty column, the divorce cases and Silk Hat Harry (or his successor), von will have mental indigestion. The condition of such a news- paper fiend reminds me of an X-ray picture in Life. “What Killed the Harlem Goat.” In the stomach of the goat in question were combs, tin cans, old shoes, petticoats and other miscellaneous articles. But he tried one thing too many—a watch and chain stuck in his throat. ________________________________________________________________________________________ one hundred thirty-eight pruutan (.’til il« vn « n magazines. It is a fund delusion to fancy one’s self well read because one skims several monthlies, even if one chooses the best things in them. Try today to write down a list of the articles you read last month. I'll venture to say you cannot name 20 per cent of them, to say noth- ing of recalling their contents. So the time is largely wasted, and worse still the habit of dipping rapidly into unrelated subjects develops a superficial way of reading that is hard to get out of. Reduce (if you can t bring yourself to give them up altogether) the num- ber of harmless, pale, sugary tales, like Myrtle Reed’s McCutcheons “The Harvester” and “The Rosary.” 1 say harmless, but that is too kind. 1 hey are rude in construction and devoid of literary art; they paint life in false col- ors; they ooze false sentiment. If excessive newspaper reading produces men- tal indigestion, one might well say that devotees of this type of story are suffering from fatty degeneration of the emotions. And the delicate flavor and fine reticence of really good fiction is flat and insipid to people who have dulled their taste with this highly spiced, sensational kind of thing. It seems to me better not to read at all than to read exclusively this sort of book. It isn’t necessary to resign one’s self, however, to a succession of dull diab masterpieces because one has decided to abjure debilitating fiction. A friend of mine came to the table one day in summer and announced: 1 ve had a grand morning! I found a blood-and-thunder pirate story on the table, and I’ve been dead to the world since breakfast.” It turned out to he Stevenson s Treasure Island.” Apropos of Stevenson, 1 know of no writer who could make more delightful the transition from second-rate reading to genuine lit- erature than he. His ' Black Arrow” and The Merry Men are rattling good stories. “Hr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is warranted to make your blood run cold: “IVincc ( Hlo” is a charming romantic tale, and one feels on e ei page of them all the band of a master. His essays—don't they sound attiactive. “An Apology for Idlers.” “O11 Falling in Love’’—you will find them in tu same volume, a book to love. And in his wonderful letters one learns to know a man whose joy in living kept him buoyant in spite of sickness and straig ht ened means—whose love of adventure led him to the South Sea, where u became the beloved friend and teller of tales to the native chiefs, who woi cc and lived and loved hard till his early death. “(Had did I live and gladly die. And I lay me down with a will.” The same tingling sense of life one finds in Kipling, another great telle 1 of tales. The Xaulahka” is the sort of book that keeps one up with a candle after the lights go out: “Kim” is a breathlessly absorbing book that filings one under the magic spell of India. And it is easy to go on from these men of our own time and point of view- to older and perhaps more serious novelists George Flint, Hardy, Hawthorne, Dickens, Thaekery, Scott. We know their names—how much do we know of them? And yet they all help us to live, by teaching us how other men and women love, suffer, struggle, fall and fight - i-11 Oji ! hundred thirty-nine Ci.hr 13 14 to rise again. And historical novels can he read, 1 y selecting, in a wav that will make an epoch of history glow with new light. The reading of good fiction then is amply justified. I Jut one ought not to call that ones serious reading, ( harming essays, easy to read, such as those by Lamb. Stevenson, John burroughs and C rot hers serve to introduce one to another—most significant field: and one should not stop here short of Emerson and Macon. Letters and journals are fascinating to anyone who gives himself a chance to fall under their spell. And by the time one has browsed around a while this way. it seems almost inevitable that some line of history or biography will have made a special appeal. I hen the thing is to follow that up, and really inform onus's self on some one theme. Supposing, just for the sake of argument, that one person here today should decide definitely to make reading an integral part of his daily living. How get it in? Well, there are twenty-four hours in every day. just as there always have been—and men have always got done what they considered abso- lute! v neccssarv. I believe firmly that every one here could find forty-five minutes a day for systematic reading, by cultivating what (iladstone, that de- vouring reader, called “thrift of time. The man of my acquaintance who knows his Shakespeare most intimately is employed in one of the South ( hnalia packing houses. He is in his office by 7:30, and often works at night. Most of his reading for years has been done on the street cars, and it is chiefly solid readin°'. It is quite possible to read while doing more or less mechanical things-_while dressing, for instance. If one waits for continuous time in more than half-hour hits, before picking up a piece of work, one will not get much done in a lifetime. There is. nevertheless, much to be said in favor of set- ting aside a certain time daily for reading. It is an infantile plan, but not vvhollv bad. to keep an account with ones self, and if time has perforce been lost on one day. to make it up on the next. It is rather helpful, too, to list the books one reads, and to set a definite date at which one hopes to finish some one line of reading. If it docs nothing else, it cultivates the- grace of humilitv. And then I feel that owning hooks is a long step towards learning to love them. This is possible for any of 11s now when we can buy almost anvthing. except the late fiction, in the “Everyman’s Library at tilirty-fivc cents a volume. Xow, a word about poetry. I wish I were capable of saying what I feel verv deeply that we in America, just now. need what the master poets can bring us more almost than we need any other one thing in life. I mean that litcrallv LiteraJK. more than good houses or new clothes or big salaries, do we need to have kindled in the mass of men that inward fire that has kept- men’s souls alive through all the ages. The greatest poetry is not hard to read or to understand: and it brings to its lovers great reward—it stirs in them a divine discontent, that pricks them on to better things: it makes the earth for them what Emerson described it. a piotid place. Savs Woodrow Wilson: “If this free people to which we belong is to keep its fine spirit, its perfect temper amidst affairs, its high courage in the Out lunnlrttl fort} P t r u u t a n face of difficulties, its wise temperateness and wide-eyed hope, it must continue to drink deep from the old wells of English undefiled. quaff the keen tonic of its best ideals, keep its blood warm with all the great utterances of exalted purpose anti pure principle, of which its matchless literature is full. 1 he great spirits of the past must command us in the tasks of the future.

Surely not this harmless visit I have planned. However. I wish she had waited. I cant entertain het properly on a school day. Helen again took up the thick, scented envelope of Ethels letter, ith its quaint diagonal tlap, eltimsv seal, and queer Creek letters in one cot tut. and reflected: “If that's the wav she is living now. 1 m afraid shell not enjov herself with me. ITcr eye took in her room—a veritable closet, just the least bit swelled in proportions. Not choice, but ignorance—ignorance of business methods and of local conditions—had taken her to that rooming house. And she eottldn t move; there was no place to go. The Silk Stocking Avenue was full of bclfi bats.” and cellar rats, as well. The building was one of those structures with the stature of youth and the crow-feet of age. It struck Helen, as she sat musing, that, as it stood there by the roadside, three small panes of glass missing in its middle window, it was not unlike a school-boy after a pugilistic encounter, grinning at passersby with the teeth surviving, gleaming against the omnivorous cavity in their back- ground, though it might be described as partially toothleth. ’ never was it Our huntlrrtl [nrlti-one GJljr 13 14 speethleth.” At least, it had a voice—a soaring soprano—that rose ever so jauntily and penetratingdy at the beck of every passing breeze. And it beat time to the tune, fantastically, too—much like a chorus director—with its baton, the corner porch prop. This member had severed its business relations with the base, on the grounds of rotten dealings, and util of employment, was taking a holiday, aloof from contamination. In consequence of this the corner of the porch roof drooped over the window below, as might the remnants of the fighting urchin’s hat over one of his twinkling, triumphant eyes. It was a self-conceited thing, this house—a flirt you might say. I he silly sunflowers and others of their kin. had spoiled it. You see there were so many of them and so few houses in the town. They crowded about and jostled each other in their attempts to nestle close to it. Lavishing upon it enticing smiles, they hid for its favor. Some of the most confident ones even nodded their “yes before there was a sign of a proposal; and the few shocked ones, horizontally jointed, shook their heads in disapproval. Ah, those wicked wild flowers! to set such a demoralizing example of conduct before shy, innocent Normal girls! And the boys after that, bless them, so besieged, so helpless, how could they prevent getting their heads turned with so many little hands twisting away at them? Justlv, Helen did not lay all the blame of suggestion to her own particular premises. She even took a certain pride in her house. I i«In't it have a rural mail box right at the front door, and a crank telephone, and electric lights that blinked good night at ten? She roused herself from this reverie and retired. The next morning, meeting Libel at the station, she stilled a gasp of wonder at the girl’s unusual appearance. She wore a skull-cap hat which had at the hack, a gigantic soup-ladle brim, turned up vertically, and made higher still by two antennae-like feathers. Her tango-colored frock was painfully tight at the hem. hut elsewhere, extravagantly floppy, and especially fly-away at the hips. It had a broad hack panel, expanded in the manner of a sail, that Hared out into a stiff Japanese collar at the base of her hat. ()n the whole, she bore a striking resemblance to a gay ship, hut a ship crippled and flounder- ing in its movements. And her posture! VVliat marvelous gyroscope helped her balance is a mystery. ‘'Helen finallv got her home, aching in every muscle and panting laborious- ly. Evidently something was wrong. Etlicl had from the first a far-off look which troubled Helen. She did everything to be nice to her guest: so did the -iris at the boarding house. They couldn’t help coughing and choking though ___sonie of them—at precisely the same moment that she put sugar into her glass of water. How could she tell it wasn't ice tea? Helen determined to remove her friend’s vacant stare. Her first remedial step was a survey of the premises. With a pride equivalent to that of loving ownership, she conducted Ethel through the auditorium, the museum, the ob- servatory in short, every building—so as not to he partial. Xo effect. Then she tried town sights; the water tower, the—a—m—that’s all there was. Next she took her to class with her. The students, inspired by one of those precocious Our hnndrr l fort i-tico fj r r it u i a it boys of the Faculty, fairly radiated enthusiasm. Unaffected as a nonconductor of that kind of energy. Ethel says. Keen in the gymnasium, where the girls, on a run, were hopping sparrow fashion, over each of a long row of Indian clubs, and making faces, formidable as if they were vaulting telegraph poles, she gave no evidence of life. In the desperation, sick with misgivings, Helen turned to what she had planned as a climax to the delights in store for her friend at Rustic Normal—to beautiful, beautiful Nature, the Nature she herself loved so well. They walked through the October woods: among the hills, along wind- ing driveways arched by trees whose leaves blended exquisitely the greens, yellows, browns, and reds: on the rich black earth and fresh green grass, soft and soothing to the feet. They followed a gurgling brook to the stately gliding river that came up to its bluff as if drawn bv admiration for the luxurious, layered browns there. All along the wav the hardy flowers danced to the joyous notes of birds and insects, under the soft radiance of the gorgeous late- afternoon sky. Poor Helen saw it was of no use: no use: no use. She could have wept for disappointment. Hut. of course, she didn't. That would have been rude. It was Kthcl who at length broke out. You dear old brick, she said, you've tried to he mighty sweet to me. and 1 thank you. Hut I must put you wise. It's beyond me how vott can hear to live this hum life in this punk, little bit of a hole. Why not come to the Uni. with me? We just have oceans of nifty eats and roaring good times. Gee. you're wasting your life here. So come with me. kiddo—smack dab this very night! I’ll show you bow swell the city is! All the while her dangling question mark curl kept playing hit-and- miss with her mouth. A persistent mental question mark kept tapping in I lelen s consciousness, punctuating with special force her silent queries: Why not go? l ot how manage to leave my work here? -Much persuasion drove discretion to the winds, ielding, Helen agreed to board the first train for University Heights, regardless of neglected duties. So the girls, refreshing themselves with a Both on Us sandwich at the little restaurant, proceeded to the station. Arriving at the city about 1 -3° night. they alighted from the hack in front of the great house where Ethel lived. Bright lights shone from every window. The parlor was full of laugh ing, chattering girls. In the dining room was spread a rich feast. Ethel, with many airs and graces, minced about with her guest, introducing her to the blithesome company. “I didn't know you were having a party, Ethel.” said Helen at her fust opportunity. “I'm not. This stunt comes off about every night,” was the reply. The splendor of the place, the costly, outlandish garments of the girls, the merry din, all bewildered Helen. In a more sorry plight was she. when at the table she found that both her palate and vocabulary were not even bowing ac- quaintances of half the dainties offered her. Consequently, to Ethel s won t you have a spiked punch? she replied in the tone of a martyr shrinking from One. hundred fort if-three OJ h r 13 14 the cruel thrust, “Please. I'm v-vcrv fund of it.” Thru upon the first sip. she turned scarlet, lit spite of her alleged fondness, she drank no more. The rest had not committed themselves. There was no need. They drank with the alacrity of a Kansas soil treated to a lieavv rain after a drought of many summers. Later in the evening Helen fancied iuas onl a fancy—that a goodlv number were exceptionally littery and hysterical. “When are those girls going home.'” she asked h.thrl. “Whv, chicken, the whole push lives here. This i-. a sorority, don't ye know.” “Oh!” drawled Helen. “I o they go to the I'n-iversiiy. too? she ventured. “Yes,” smiled Ethel reassuringly. “Don’t let me keep you tip. You'll he late for classes tomorrow .” “fch-debibble, classes! That reminds me. h.

Helen’s heart gave a sudden bound and thumped so painfully the poor girl felt she would die. As soon as she was able i«. speak, all having be- come quiet below, she said: “Well, if this is t’uiversiiy life. I have seen enough of it.

This, of course, is not a hard and fast arrangement of the above, nor it is reasonable to suppose that there could be none other. 'The facts are. I began farthest away and came home in an orderly way because I wanted to save the best till last. I started out with Paris and the styles—well, ii will just be necessary for me to pause a little at this point. To many it seems very queer that somebody ten thousand miles away should dictate to us what should he worn, blit it's so. A few years ago tile warehouses were overstokt with straw. The man said—it was his suggestion—the large cart-wheel hats using lots of straw ought to be made for next year; the woman said—it was her proclama- tion—large “Merry Widows ’ daintily trimmed in simplicity with a Mowing bow and short hangers arc the exquisite selections for the street and ward- robe next year. The man sold his straw for lyc per pound and got rich: the milliners making a very modest profit of 347 per cent, sold the hats lor Smj.oo and up, price advancing as the cube of the radius of the lid—and ‘’broke even.” As far as my observations went everybody seemed to be benefitted—except dad. Don’t the ladies remember that little squint-eyed, evasive brat who ducked behind the seat in the street car bursting with laughter as he watched the pink ladv enter? The process of her entrance was not unlike that of a wild ram trvimr to extricate his horns from a bramble bush. I5v the way, my good reader, and you are good if you stay with this dis- sertation. if it wouldn’t bore you too much Pd like to tell you a little slorv. This particular situation was quite amusing. It almost bordered on the pa- thetic. It happened in a large city. too. I feel as tho I’m wasting your time, so I’ll hasten to the point. I stopt and saw a lady trying to hoard a street car. Ha! ha! ha! ha! “Well, why don’t you go 011?” That was precisely what I intended to do, but somehow or another I couldn’t. Why, I waited I do not know. They sav clothes don’t make the man—that holds good for women. This specimen of the feminine persuasion had clothes, well, they made several things. In the first place, they made the “con” mad; in the second place thev proved the unmaking of the woman. Jt seems as tho she was out 011 parade just at the particular time of day when straight lines are the styles. She lookt just like an inverted test tube. I was going to say that her skirt was just about the size of one of Taft’s trouser legs, but that wouldn’t look- good in print, so I’ll stick to the test tube for the rest of my metaphor. Just imagine yourself encased in a skirt of test tube proportion and of like constitu- ency. trving to step on the running board of a street car. I found that I would be fifteen minutes late for the convention, so I rushed on. Xow back again. W’liat do you ladies think of the styles anyway? Are you reconciled to the 517 styles of abbreviated costumes (formerly they were called dresses, but 1 fear that name is out of style) that make the tango pos- sible? In 1916 they will dance the hula lula, and that is considerable worse Our Jinnrfml farty-cight t $ t r tt tt i a tt —so they” say. It just occurred to me that some of the girls of the class of ’14 could achieve immortal fame and lasting glory by giving to the world some new style. I’m not a creator of designs, but the other day I came by the hardware store, and I saw a few things that were suggestive in the line of millinery. I was going to tell my girl about them and let her make the announcement to the world, but 1 said the honor should be mine, if there be any—I was conceited, you know. How would an inverted coal bucket look for an evening hat, ladies? Trim the handle with black messaline esponge (I’m not certain whether those last two words are correct) and hang a clever frill 011 the ear of the bucket. Or how would a large turkey roaster do? And then those baby hath tubs wouldn’t look had for morning wear. It is not necessary to say that the frame would need to he trimmed with a little moss or a rooster's tail. We should not want for hat pins, either. What about stove pokers and fire shovels and spike nails? Say. say! Hilt listen! Don t go to wearing any of these things until they are sanctioned by Mamzelle. style maker, in Haris. If you wear them before, people will think you are crazy: if you don’t wear them after, you will be antiquated, an old foggy, and out of style. I ought to say a few words about the human voice and how wonderfully it conforms to the triad of the major diatonic chord. They say the arytenoid cartilage slides up into a little groove and produces a tension hv contracting the transverse crieo-arytenoid hone. The result is a musical tone. I ve got Hag- ley to hack me up in this statement. He says a person may think his Angelina sings divinely sweet, even though she have a voice like that of a crow. Suppos- ing you heard a person sing and didn’t like what she sang because she chewed up the words—that’s your fault. You don’t like the girl, for if you did no one could convince you that she would not supplant Shumann-Heink or Tet- razine some day. Xow. what have clothes and voices to do with society. Right licit, is the place where theory doesn’t coincide with practice. A man without clothes is an outcast, a barbarian: lie lurks behind a tree, trying to catch and make a meal of the man who has them. And music? Firstly, a person can t sing unless he can talk; and secondly, if he can't talk, he loiters within the con- fines of the state’s elyeniosynaey institution. Before you can he sociable you’ve got to have clothes and he able to talk. Consequently, sociability seems to he constructing itself on a woi Id-widc. basis. Peru is carried over purposely from the first of my discussion and placed here with added emphasis. Peril is a great exponent of this faze of human delights. A few of the social events of the past school life arc heie described. Such events are always fine. Kveryone is better than the last one, and just as soon as the headache is gone and lost sleep made up U(-' have forgotten it also.

After doing justice to the delicious repast the girls col- lected themselves in the Faculty room for the installation of the new officers. The previous levity gave way to an impressive ceremony. It will be impossible to forget the sincerity and earnestness with which each girl promised to per- form the duties that were to be hers the coming year. A high tribute was paid to the faithfulness of the returning officers by Miss Into Hecbner. the new president. As a closing event of this delightful evening the girls joined hands and sang ‘‘blest Me the 'Tie That Minds,” and each felt that the A. W. C. A. was indeed a most binding tie.

Some times such persons are called thorns and roses, but these words are not directly applicable to this group of listingnished peo- ple. True einif, the thorns were thorns—more or less prickly, but the roses were not all roses. Some were just the daintiest, little buds, others sunflowers and yet others were American Idealities. The entire crowd was divided into twelve families, and each family raised cane for some thirty odd minutes. That reminds me I started to talk about the human circles and the things they did to create so much merriment for us all. In the instantaneous part of a second a fig would clasp hands with a thistle, and another fig similarly united tried to catch the first pair. Johnnie and Fannie (Mr. John Wear and Miss Fannie Mart) were one of these in- separable unions. John ran and Fannie llew.

All types from Peck’s Pad Poy to that of Queen Elizabeth with numerous odd ones in between were represented. We even had a ban.foot boy, whose “check was slightly tanned. Romeo and Juliet were ical cun ning, and so was Pill Salt. Three Little Red Riding Hoods were present, as was also the famous one—Evangeline. Every one thus bedekt did somethin to entertain the rest. You would have laughed, too. had you been thcic. Some people do good team work hut are better individual satellites. omc shine as bright as the sun: some cast a dreamy reflection, soft and difused. oc that of the moon, while yet others were brilliant and quick like the tail ol a comet. I sa again with the diversified talent that Philo has that theie b quality and quantity to not only spice up an occasional entertainment, hut there is enough to give a program every week that is not monotonous nor wcaiisomc. Too many of the students fail to realize the good that they should get bom the society work. The faithful, alert and appreciative society going lolks are the ones who maintain the high society standards. An artist once standing on his heels, with his arms akimbo, dcftlv holding his palette in one hand and a Out hundred ftftu-flvc ©hr 1314 brush in the other, body inclined forward at the hips some thirlv decrees, lisped in “artistic style the was a snob, you know). ’A es, I have a verv artis- tic temperament: yes. really. I have. 1 am so artistic at times that it almost pains me! When a society-goer gets so far that liis own criticism pains him, we may safely say lie is a nonentity in society work. We want criticisms, but there are two kinds—adverse and commendable. I loth kinds are useful at times, but it is safe to say that more improvement has been gained by the latter. ©hr | ig states and little stags, medium sized and «all. from out of the «autumn woods, stole down towards the magnificent amphitheatre. where the red- skins in da vs of vore held the powwow and smokt the pipe of peace until there was nothing left but a piece of a pipe. Along with the stains there were present a limited number of wheelbarrows ladened with citrullus vulgaris for the trretrarious tribe. We shudder to think of the Nation that might have been O o' perpetuated bv this clan. It would have umjuestionably resulted in stagna- tion. for not a single doe was present. I he great germ of redemption lay in this fact, that the big Muck had not organized his antlers. The struggling, straggling stags arrived late enuf to participate in rhinitis vulgaris, while the earlier, more fortunate and satiated ones began in a series of frivolous contests more or less human. ne stag took a big Turkish towel and ran around the drop-the-haiidkcrchief ring and tried to crack bis misera- ble immediate predecessor (I mean lie was miserable very soon) on the revers- ible side of his anterior cognomen. This cruel sport approaches in a frail wav the charming game of hot hand, so much enjoved b I )i. Ileaid, I alms forward_____. The social was a stag affair, yes, that's Jt’ST what it was. Later in the evening they unlocked horns and sought recognition in the bor- ders of polite society. i£inu rtt iJaUmur’ru ftartij Hallowe en was celebrated by tbc liveretis in tile basement of tile library. Each, when arriving at the lobby of the library, discovered that he could not walk «edatelv down, but must be seated on a cushion to which was attached a long rope.’and thus was allowed to slide down on a board into regions of darkness below. After fumbling around, the victim went through a narrow passage. At the end of this his hand was quickly seized by a slimy hand of a ghost. A thrilling whisper told him to go on. Continuing, he found himself in a room alone with a skeleton. When he had gathered up enuf courage to move, he took a slip from a kettle hanging on a crane. This slip foretold his future. He was then admitted to the room, where the other guests were assembled. 1 he dim lights, the rustling of the leaves on the floor, and the maskt crea- lures gave a weird effect. All were invited to hunt foi beans bidden under the leaves. The scram- ble began and the maskt figures were all searching here and there. Soon the Ojh lunnlit il ! ftp-six P r- r it u t a u hunt was over and other shames were played. These games enlivened our spirits and each grew curious as to the identity of those about him. The un- masking proved to be very funny, and we were much suprised to learn that some of the strangest people were friends whom we had learned to know so well in the past few weeks. All were then seated around a ghostly light, which made every one look ashy pale. (ihost stories were told, refreshments were served, and then every one went home, remembering the strangeness and weirdness of the evening scene. (61rr (Club tnti'rtainrb L. Y. II. It is not always that, when a crowd of young people congregate at Mil- stead’s store, a sufficient number of automobiles spin up to the curb and allow themselves to be tilled with people and swiftly glide away. But it did so happen on the niglu of April 3. 1914. And it is not always that in sueh a motly crowd as the above the ratio of the masculine element to the feminine is almost two to one. But such was the case on this same night. These autos sped on their way until either a nnulholc stopt them, or a jovial man. namely. Mr. Kennedy, with lantern in hand, hailed the drivers at his beautiful country home where the passengers—none other than the mem- bers of the two (Ilee Clubs of the 1 . S. X. S.—had been invited to spend the evening by Miss Burtis Kennedy. While waiting for the arrival of the last carload, those present were enter- tained with vocal music by Miss Adalyn Blankenship and instrumental num- bers by Miss Louise Van Horne, and Messrs. Humphreys and Lovell. When all had arrived, tables were set about the rooms and progresshe somerset was played. Excitement ran high until a halt was called by the hos- tess. Mr. Jones produced a tally card with the greatest number of punches, and was awarded first prize. Mr. Dallam's card showed the least number, and he was awarded the booby prize. The tables were then spread for a two-course luncheon. With thirty-five musicians in eompanv, it is only natural that part of the evening he given to music. One of the best programs of the season was given consisting of numbers by each Glee Club and by Dr. and Mrs. House, llietc was an intermission in this program during which Mr. Iiosic, the camera man, took a flashlight picture. The early morning hours were spent in expressing praise and thanks to the hostess and her family for an evening of solid enjoyment, and in clanking contrary cars preparatory to leaving for home. However, it is reported that by 3 o’clock Saturday morning all participants were reviewing in their dreams the joyous occasion just experienced. The event will not be reviewed in dreams only, but in waking hours many times by all members of the Glee Clubs participating.

' It was. according to all present, a banquet seldom excelled by the classes of any other institution. It will not do tor us to reiterate the successive acts which found their consummation on the evening of April u. 11; 13. but we must pass to the commendable, and highly appreciated effort of our younger brethren. Not willing to deviate from the usual order of events, and unwilling to be outclassed by the Seniors, the Juniors made preparations for the banquet. Shortly after C hristmas fanciful dreams were developing into purposeful thots —thots expanded and took on others that lent unity to a specific scheme— to the rejection and exclusion of ideas of lesser importance. ()n the evening of March jo, 1014. the perfect thot” found its harmonious and perfect com- pletion in the Harden of Roses. The entire hall was one great, gorgeous garden of roses. 'The evergreen copice provided a background for the American Realities.’ In the center of the hall stood the terraced fountain. It was illuminated from above bv elec- tric lights, whose rays were softened and mellowed by rose-like coverings; it was surrounded by innumerable flowers, whose aroma and fragrance was only superceded by the beauty and arrangement and profusion of varieties. The toastmaster was Mr. Win. ( )gg. In keeping with the dignitv and grandeur of the occasion, he introduced the speakers as follows: What’s in a Name?” Mr. II. L. Harvey: “Queen of the Prairie, Miss Eva Rowe; Wild Roses,” Pres. D. V. Haves; American Realities. Miss Ellis; “Ramblers,” Dean E. L. Rouse; Moss Roses,” Prof. Smith; The Last Rose of Summer.” Miss Nettie Me.Michael; Sweet Briars,” Mr. Robert Vernon. Onr hum rtf I flftf ufur ui h c 1 a 1 4 Oik hundred sixty (The 13 14 (IIuarh Jnhmum Coach Johnson got most of his athletic training in Doanc College. lie played eight years of football, and was always a star at the game. Many times has he held third base down on the “Tigers M baseball nine, lie also knows basketball, track and all sorts of gymnastic work. He showed his football ability in developing a football team at Doanc that received honors over the Peru eleven, and showed up fine, battling against the “Cornhuskers. lie played quarterback on the Doanc “gridiron team, preceding his coaching there, and many times fought against the school that he is now doing his ut- most to uphold. Peru is indeed very fortunate in securing him as coach, for lie developed a football team last fall that the Normal is proud of. a basketball team that could make the best of them fight for honors, and no doubt commencement time will see us with a winning baseball nine. Coach Johnson has the good- will of every boy in school. 11 is working for clean playing has done a great deal for those who have been under him. It is quite certain the coming fall will see a winning team for Peru in football, for his leadership for two years will put the Peruvians back in the game. One hundred ftixly-Uco P e r it u t a n Ifnntball Another season in the histon of football lias passed away: once more the Peruvians await the bugle call of another season. And now is a fitting time to briefly review the significant points brought out by the gridiron battles of the season. As usual, at the opening of the season, the prospects looked gloomy indeed, since many of our old veterans had left us: but with the re- maining pigskin rollers of last season, and the new material. Coach Johnson worked out an excellent team. The scrubs had the honor of playing tin first game of the season on Sep- tember jbth. against the Nebraska City High School. Although the game was played on the High School's gridiron, it was ended with a score of 13 to 6 in favor of the scrubs. Dillon and Leger making the touchdowns. The Varsity's first game of the season was with Tarkio on the latter's grounds, October 3rd. The game was hotly contested from start to finish. Tarkio tried a series of line bucks, and end rims, crossed the Normal's line, and kicked a goal in the first ten minutes of play. Peru showed her super- iority during the rest of the game, and more than once was the Missourians1 goal line threatened. The Peru-Cotner game was fought to a tie on Peru's field, October iotli. The bulldogs proved themselves plucky fighters, holding our men for downs when the ball was within a few feet of their goal. Most of the game was played in Corner's territory; not once was our goal threatened. On October 17th. the Peruvians invaded the land of the Tigers, but were defeated by a score of 49 to o. The Doane men were much heavier than Peru's men, and were veterans at the game. Coach Johnson's former training- showed itself in the opposing team. The Peru team came back strong in the last half, and allowed the Tigers to score but once. I11 the evening after the game a reception was given in honor of our men. Our Innifh'tti si.rtjf lltrcc ® h f 1 1 4 By far the finest exhibition of football that the followers f the pigskin dope showed this year was on November ist, when Bellevue invaded the Normal's ground. The “Indians were more than confident of the game. They even had the score figured out, but when the cheers vibrated back and forth from either side of the field, as “Say! “What! “What’s what? “That’s what they all say! “Meat Bellevue! Meat Bellevue! the redskins lost their “pep. The game started by Bellevue's kicking to Bern, who returned it to the forty-yard line. The “Indians held our nun down, but they soon regained it again by a series of line bucks. Long carried the “pumpkin across their goal line. The ball was successfully kicked between the cross-bars. A forward pass was attempted by the Normal, but the ball was caught by a redskin, who tore down the field for a good gain. By a series of bucks and end runs they drove the pedants to their forty-yard line, where the “In- dians” were held for downs. Mere Jones made his sensational run, carrying the “pigskin sixty yards for a touchdown. In the third quarter Bern showed herself to be far the superior of the two teams, making long end runs, and many good gains directly through the line. The “Indians were unable to hold our men for downs. Janda put his toe against the ball and added three more points to our score. Some mighty good work was exhibited during the fourth quarter. Moth teams fought like tigers. 'The game ended with the ball in the “redskins’ ” territory. Score, Bern, 17; Bellevue, o. (Jn November 15th, the big game of the season was played with our sister Normal. We arc making no excuses for our loss to Kearney. That rejuve- nated machine played great football against Bern. At the old style of playing they outplayed us most of the time, but at times Bern went through their line. In spite of the opponents’ weight and experience at the game, our men out- played them at the new game. The game started by Kearney’s kick-off to Peru, who made good return, but failed to make her downs. Kearney car- ried the ball for long gains until our goal was threatened, but the westerners were held for downs, and our men, by series of plays, carried the ball clear One hundred, start) -four Ji i' ni u i a ti across tin.' field, luit failed to carry it across tile opponents’ line. Van Buren’s men picked up nerve in the second half, and drove our men the entire length of the field for the first touchdown, and succeeded in making another touch- down before the half ended. By a brilliant play of one of the Kearney men, a place kick was blocked. This seemed to discourage the hoys, for in the fourth quarter they were unable to keep the opponents from crossing our line. The game ended with the ball in Peru’s possession in the middle of the field. Score, Peru, o: Kearney. 21. To fill an open date 011 the schedule, the Nebraska Freshmen team was obtained on November 27th. Peru stepped out on the field, knowing that a terrible battle was to be fought. They considered the Freshmen to be invin- cible. Had they thought otherwise, no doubt a very greatly different game would have been played, as the last half of the game proved to be. The Uni boys used many trick plays. The Iowa spread was used time and again, but very little could they do with it against our men. The Uni made all their scores during the first half of the game, crossing our goal line three times. During the last half our men outplayed the Uni every minute of the game. More luck than anything else caused the Freshmen to keep our men from crossing their goal. During the third quarter, a place kick was made by Janda. The game ended with the ball in Peru's possession on the Uni’s thirty-yard line. Score. Peru. Uni Freshmen. 18. At the close of the season. Virgil Long was elected captain of the next year's football squad. W ith the old men of this year and many high school stars, Peru is bound to have a winning team next fall. Coach Johnson and Captain Long are busy hunting material for next year. Here is to their suc- cess. It is said that Peru will have the best team in the history of the school next fall. 1914.

Thrice hail to the Seniors!!! Dear children of ’15: You thought it felt pretty good to heat your elder brethren in a football game didn’t you? Well sir. we can sympathize with you—we had the same feeling last year. I )on’t the records show that we won the rag several times? We cleaned up on the lower classmen and thought we were unearthly big when we snatched the pennant from the Seniors. '13. Hut that didn't count much. We found out that just as soon as our little egotistical balloon was deflated we were ready to do some real work. Dif- ferent tasks awaited us. t Htr elders told ns if we would be great we should aspire for the (iREATER things: that if we desired to achieve anything in the halls of erudition and learning we must pursue PERM AN EX 1 things. They held up intellectual standards. They told us that before the tactics of a concentrated mental acumen of wise men. sheer brute force and physical prowess would vanish like buckwheat cakes on a frosty morning. Such vindictive remarks about athletics, by our superiors, were seriously considered. Conse- quently, the Seniors repented the first of the year. The Juniors were stubborn and failed to come across till later in the season. Rut when they did. their repentance was all the more humiliating. They covered themselves with sack- cloth ;md ashes: tliev held secret meetings, and finally, in deepest contrition and humbleness, tliev told us they were going to invest 600 ‘’seeds' in a little con- solation feed to which all Seniors were invited. It gratifies us to know that they have come to the realization of the fact, viz.: 'rite wise seek the imperishable things.” Perhaps our good readers would like to know something about the 15- 14 physical combats which were all more or less human. They began last fall (1913). They started on a nice football afternoon day. The opposite page shows one picture of the contest—the Senior fighters are also shown. Honest Abe is with us, scanning prophetically into the future. He predicts victory May 2(5. 1914. Other forces are similarly expressive. 1 he score that afternoon was t8 to something.—T don’t exactly remember any more what the Seniors did get. I think they got a couple of touchdowns, but Pm not quite sure of that either. The reasons for such a slight defeat have already been mentioned, besides so many of the senior boys played on the regular team. On the same evening of the game one grand parade come off. I be Juniors had a pajama parade. They were actually going to go into the dorm with their costumes on. The Seniors said, Nothing like that, little boys, and there wasn't anything like it—I mean “like” what followed. 1 he next morn- ing there was a nice cute sign on the new standpipe. It said: “O. You Nite Shirt Parade.” 'ig-'iff. One morning later a pennant was hung on a cable and the Seniors took it down. The diagrams represent the episode. The exasperated wife tried to call central, but had to wait three days. When Monday morning came the Seniors marched triumphantly into chapel.

If the baby cries after 10 o’clock p. m.. a medium dose of strychnine should be administered ai once. This will prevent his waking the roomers up- stairs. 2. Ilovs may be induced to keep their rooms perfectly clean by an- nouncing each week that they are to be inspected by young ladies who wish to rent them for the next year. 3. In case waste paper and trash prove insufficient to warm the house, a very small lump of coal may be added to the fire without serious danger. 4. If the rooms become uncomfortably warm, it is well to turn off the heat by means of pipe dampers in the basement. 5. It lias been demonstrated by scientists that a vegetable diet is con- ducive to good health. Steaks and chops should never be served to boarders: meat that has been boiled for several hours, not oftener than once a week. 6. In case small pieces of chocolate pie are left from dinner, the filling may be carefully scraped out and served as pudding for supper. 7. The contents of waste baskets should be carefully scrutinized, as val- uable information may often be obtained in this way. S. In case one fails to pay his board, the neighbors should first be con- sulted regarding the matter, then the boarders, and as a last resort, the person himself—perhaps he has merely forgotten to do so. y. Too much cover at nights interferes with the circulation of the blood. A verv thin comforter may be provided. A further advantage of providing very little cover is that the windows are kept closed and a saving of fuel results. to. Never provide a lamp to be used when the lighting plant is not work- ing. The house might be set afire, but the greater consideration is that sev- eral cents’ worth of oil might be consumed in the course of a year.

Even to this day in the insti- tution where the development of the mind presumably is considered of sole im- portance do some become hopelessly ensnared in the ruthless tangles of an iui(juesti ming love. “All the world loves a lover.” Yea. but all the world smiles. At the girls gossip gatherings these victims of instinct are made a subject for dis- cussion. Even a disinterested gentleman student cannot help notice the amor- ous oglings of the smitten ones, and the oblivion to which others are subjected in their presence. Numerous are the times and places of meeting. Seats are arbitrarily reserved in the library: chairs in the halls and chapel alcoves are in accountable proximity: and even the recesses in the library lobby arc oc- cupied not only by coats and caps. lie not mistaken. It is not to he presumed that true affection should be smothered and given no chance for development. Put why should it be made so obvious? Why should it be taken in a for granted” fashion? Why is all rivalry eliminated? And why is the green-eyed monster of jealousy not given a chance? A snap of the linger for such unexciting love—for love without conquest. Something it is to give without a surety of return. There is much fun in guess- ing. blessed are the happy smiles that are smiled as you pass each other by. blessed are the whole-hearted greetings, blessed are the rare and abbrevi- ated chats that are made possible only by your own ingenuity and device. And blessed is the fact that the “strings” are breakable, that it is only through your own cunning that they arc held intact as long as desired.

Tile plot is centered around l laddon Hall, famous in history as one of the places which sheltered Mary, Queen of Scotts. during her captivity. The story itself is of the romantic attachment and elopement of Dorothy Vernon and young John Manners, in spite of the opposition of parents and guardians. The time is around 1560. The story of the hero and heroine has long filled a ro- mantic place in the more personal annals of Elizabethan history. Both Eliza- beth and Mary Stuart come into the story, which is set in perhaps the most beautiful of English scenery—the hill country of Derbyshire, in the neighbor- hood of Chatsworth. beautiful hills thro which How the Wye and the Dcrvent. This neighborhood is one of the most interesting in England. Xot far from it is Chatsworth. where Walter Scott was often seen, and where Byron met fair Mary Chaworth, the heiress of Anncslev. Xot far to the south of it is Lee- luirsl. where Florence Xightingale used to live, while to the north of it is the grave of Little John, famous in the Robin Hood legends. Some of the rooms in lladdon Hall stand exactly as Dorothy herself saw them three hundred years ago. In the spare chamber still stands the canopied bed of green velvet and white satin, in which tradition savs Queen Elizabeth slept when she visited lladdon to open the first hall in the new ballroom of that day.
