Peru State College - Peruvian Yearbook (Peru, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 284 of the 1915 volume:

. ■ The time for presenting the College Year-Book has arrived. We ask the kind indulgence of our reader for any features wherein this volume may not meet the standards of journalism. We claim no traces of genius, although we trust we have not fallen into a hopeless mediocrity. Nor do we claim this book to be a masterpiece of its kind. It is but a faithful, interesting and complete record of College activities in 1915, and more particularly those of the Senior Class. On this criterion let judgment be made. ft Stratum ©n yrnfi'iuuu 3fi.

Of these, the first and foremost arc called Seniors. Their territory is bounded on the north by teaching plans, on the east by conferences, on the south by fear concerning future positions, and on the west by required studies which they neglected in their Junior year. The second group is called Sophomores, and of them and their achievements one of their own number will write. Likewise, it may be spoken concerning the Freshmen. On the borders of their land dwell the tribes of Trainers. Specials and Preparatories. The fourth and greatest of these divisions is called Juniors. Of all these the Juniors are the bravest and the wisest. Their territory is bounded on the north by the mountain Psychology, very high and steep, on the cast bv the river Junior English, the widest and most treacherous of rivers, on the south by Botany Lab., and on the west by the dark forests of Observation and Methods. Tales of their prowess will be handed down through the ages, the following being a modest account of their chief accomplishments. One hundred and sixty Juniors, aided and advised by Professor Beck, met at the beginning of this school year to perfect the organization of their class. It was hard to choose from the number of worthy candidates for president, but Wm. Houston was finally elected. Then his assistant executives were chosen: Vergil Lehr as vice president; Blanche Jimmerson. secretary; and Frank Haney, treasurer. These officers have faithfully and ably directed the activities of the Juniors during the year. Professor Beck has been truly a friend to us throughout, and the class feels that it must do well to be worthy of its adviser. Our first task was to get acquainted with each other. On this evening of October ist, after lessons were laid aside, we assembled before the chapel and wended our way over the hills to the grove near the Juanita Fruit Farm. Some Xincty-flvc time was spent in games, then we partook of a delicious lunch. The toasts were impromptu and suited to the occasion. We, then practised our yells until sure we could give them well in chapel, and finally made our way back to Peru, singing as we proceeded. Our class has taken an active part in all school activities. The V. V. C. A.. Y. M. C. A.. X. C. A., and Episcopal Guild, the Philomathean and Everett Societies. and the chorus, all are enthusiastically supported by the Juniors. The band and the glee clubs, too. claim many members from our number. In our class work we have maintained the standard set by our predecessors —no small task. The debates in January proved that a goodly share of the eloquence and ability of the school belongs to members of our class. These qualities won places for Merritt Chaffee, Joe Boyd, Louis Chard and Clyde Leece, on the team for the interclass debate. The Juniors have shown good form in athletics as well as in other interests. In the football conflict with the noble Seniors, a hot contest was waged. Although the result was a tie with no score for either side, the pigskin was in Senior territory most of the time. Personal mention can hardly be made, but each player brought credit to the class. The Varsity team, too. was partially composed of Juniors, having on the line-up such notable characters as Ralston. Long, Houston, McLean, Earl Haney and Bell. With the advent of the basketball season the Juniors brought forth a victory over their elders through the efficient work of Pell. II. Amende. Boyd, and H. and R. Towle. On the Normal basket-ball team the Juniors were strongly in evidence with Long, Metzger, Houston and Schneider, and had there been another Junior in the team, the Wesleyan game might have been ours. Among those who represented our class in baseball were Metzger, Bell. Long. Blankinship. Lynn. Schneider, Overton. R. Towle and Houston. Our girls’ record in athletics has not equalled that of the boys’ seeing that the Senior girls defeated us rather severely in basket-ball. Put then we must have an occasional defeat in order that we may more fully appreciate our numerous victories. However, our indoor baseball team was exceedingly strong and showed marked ability in all games. We feel proud of our athletic achievements and if our successors attain like success we shall indeed have formidable opponents in the interclass games of next year. It is with sincere wishes of success for those ambitious students who will follow after us that we pass on. making room for them and going a step nearer our own goal. We bear the palm of victory As from the class we go. And next year as worthy Seniors We’ll do the same, we know. Sincty-slx A Junior—a task—and a willing “I’ll try.

The Sophomores from various states will long remember the cordiality with which they were met by the Peru Sophomores. We considered ourselves very fortunate indeed, as a class, to have the services of Mr. Howie as our class adviser. He is deserving of much praise for his ever-readv and appropriate plans and suggestions; he has led us through a most profitable and prosperous year. At an early date we met for class organization and elected Elmer Wilson, president; “Vic” Jones, vice president: Pearle Kinton, secretary; and Bryan Kmerett. treasurer. 'Phis very able body of officers has faithfully steered our Sophomore ship through every kind of water, and this year which we have spent together as Sophomores is one that shall be held in our memories as a year of many pleasures. The “Sophs have figured quite prominently in every line of a school endeavor—athletics, debating, musical organizations, and literary societies. Everywhere has our Sophomore enthusiasm been shown. With the good record of this year in mind, we can hopefully predict a bright future for the class of 1917. We have sent letters to almost every twelve-grade High School of Nebraska, inviting students to join us as Juniors, so that we may be even stronger and more successful than we have been as Sophomores.

Our year has been uneventful, but our weekly meetings have served to bring us into pleasant contact with one another and to leave us a store of memories. Especially we shall remember with gratitude our true friend and adviser. Miss Bowen. We are proud of the fact that this year’s special class is the largest ever registered. Because a number of townspeople carrying only one subject have not identified themselves with the organization, the class has consisted chiefly of members of the regular body of students. , Early in the year we decided to imitate last year’s Freshman class, and organized into two groups—the Reds and the Blues—which were to be responsible alternately for the weekly programs. The group leaders, with the program committee, have worked nobly, and it is due to their efforts and the loyalty of the members in helping carry out their plans that the programs have been so Our liuuilrrtl si.r Me I n .or I)c Verf Sell weaker Williams Vernon Carroll McVIttle Bignell Itlldcr Brnucr Lcntaey Carroll Myers Bowen £ pretals anil Preparatory entertaining; We have listened to several good musical numbers and have heard many interesting current events and personal experiences.

Also we have been graciously entertained with music, readings, and informal talks by a number of students from other classes. We arc looking forward to two pleasant events, the class picnic and an informal evening to be held during the closing weeks of the school year.

The work done in these grades is fully accredited, making it possible to receive students seeking High School privileges under the Free High School Attendance Act. Sixty pupils have been enrolled during the year. These come from the local districts and surrounding rural schools of the County. Otoe and Gage Counties are represented this year. A few students come from other states. About fifty Seniors arc given part of their teaching work in High School subjects along the lines for which they are especially fitted. F.ach class maintains its own organization and is in every way a distinct unit of the school. There will undoubtedly be great opportunity for the High School to extend its work to the eleventh and twelfth grades as soon as the new Training Building, now being erected, is ready for occupancy. The Peru Training School then will be able to rank with the best four-year schools of the state. The officers of the different classes are as follows: Tenth grade—President, Alice Kinton; vice-president, Inez Longfellow; secretary-treasurer. Hazel Em-mert; chairman program committee, Frank Sharrar. Ninth Grade—President, Clifford Faulkner: vice-president, Franklin Jones; secretary, Gladys Patterson; treasurer, Grace Erisman; sergeant-at-arms, Lloyd Hays: chairman program committee, Donald Blankenship. II-H-IGH S-S-CH ()-0-0-0-L II igh School! On hundred ten BOOK III m Athletics One hundred eleven One hundred twelve AthU'ttrs Where did they all come from?” “Who is that big fellow down there, failin’ on the ball?” “Look at that guy run!” “Did you ever sec so many huskies all in one bunch?” These are but a few of the remarks heard on the athletic field during the first few nights of football practice. They are quotations which came from the hearts of all the fans in school. It has been the earnest wish of the football enthusiasts, since last fall, that this year would bring forth material of exceeding value, and lo. their prayers have been answered! This statement needs no written proof since we have all been eye witnesses and know that our team made a wonderful showing in every game. There are probably three very important reasons for this good record, and it would be very difficult to say which is the greatest. First, we would mention the training which the team received at the hands of Coach Johnson. Second, as has already been intimated, the superb material with which the Coach had to work; and last, but certainly not least, is the “scrub team.” Wc would apologize for using this odious word in connection with our second team as there were no “scrubs” in the entire squad. The tus-scls which took place in the practice scrimmages were worth the price of a scheduled game; and often has the author, with others, stood upon the bank and listened to the commands of Captain Tilton as he shouted out the bloodcurdling order, “Grab ’em by the ears!” THE GAMES .The season, as a whole, has been a record of which every loyal Peruvian is justly proud, and this book would not be complete without a more or less detailed account of each game. Thus, with pleasure, we erect the following verbal monument to our living warriors. THE TARKIO GAME The first game of the season was played upon our home field with our friends from Missouri. They came over full of the spirit for which their state is reputed, and our boys came back with real Nebraska “pep,” for the purpose of showing them,” which they did very successfully. Peru was given the kick-off and the game began. Tarkio’s return was fairly good but they were soon held for downs and then it was our turn. The ball was in Tarkio’s territory most of the time and often we expected to see our team push over, but when the critical moment came the Missourians gathered pluck and stood fast. However, in the third quarter, Clements, our Orlcy, decided it was time to quit fooling. Accordingly, he ran up in front of the punter, as if there were no line, and blocked a punt. But that isn’t all. for he picked up the ball and proceeded to play hop-skip-and-jump, until he had passed the goal line. One lihmind thirteen In the meantime, hilarity reigned supreme upon the banks, and even if no one knew “what he was doing, he knew “why.” 'I'lic last quarter was also a very interesting and profitable one for Peru. This time it was Janda who became serious and when that Bohemian gets anything into his head it takes more than words to get it out. It is this bull-dog determination that has put Janda where lie is and made him a great football player. We arc all proud of Vincent and thought it only just when he was chosen on the (hand Island All-State team. But let us finish this game. As we said before, Janda became serious and somehow, we can’t tell exactly. he just started out on a gallop and trampled upon everybody until he was ready to fall over the line, which was easy enough after he had reached it. This ended the scoring for the day. Peru had the beautiful sum of 13 points, while Tarkio had a score similar in shape to their football, with just as much in it. THE WESLEYAN GAME Yc encountered our most formidable foe the second game of the season, which, perhaps, was rather unfortunate, since our team had not had time to develop its best team work. Our men were also deprived of many practices by rainy weather, while the Coyotes were not hampered by the atmospheric conditions since their athletic field is on sandy soil and has a better location than ours. However, regardless of these difficulties, we still maintain that we gave Wesleyan “a run for their money and they had to work for every bit they made. Wesleyan made all of their points, nineteen in all. during the first part of the game. 'Phis goes to show that the prestige of their former reputation had stricken fear into the hearts of our warriors and consequently they were unable to do their best until they had a firmer hold upon their courage. Nevertheless, our team showed up well in this game and several of the men deserve special mention. We were especially proud of our ends, Ralston and Haney. “Wab” was given credit for being the best and “headiest end that had ever played on the Wesleyan field, in inter-collegiate. This tribute was paid him by Assistant Coach Harmon of the State University. “Wab was also chosen as an end on two All-State teams. Such praise as he has received would probably ruin a less balanced cortex. Tige was also a star in this game. He played a won-•derful game until about three minutes before the end of the contest, when he sprained his ankle so severely that he was One hundred fourteen out the rest of the season. This accident was a great disappointment to everyone as we had expected wonderful work from Tige. Huston, too, showed up well in this game as he had in the Tarkio game. His experience as a basketball player seems to have made him especially adapted to handling the air-filled egg. THE DOANE GAME This battle was preceded by a rally during the chapel period. It was at this time that Prof. Smith gave his famous oration upon “The Flood.” It was a speech of wonderful organization and will, no doubt, be handed down to posterity. We are sorry to say, it has not been added to the curriculum of our educational institutions. From the standpoint of entertainment, the Doanc game easily heads the list. It was interesting from a football standpoint and a decided novelty to almost everyone present. The cause of the extreme amusement was the condition of the athletic field. The mud was about two inches deep, and in many places there were pools of water. This disagreeable circumstance did not seem to affect the men, however, as each one took his position and made an effort to start as soon as the ball was snapped. The. third quarter was the one in which our hopes were brought to the highest pitch. The first half had been featured only by straight football and mud throwing. During the third quarter, however, Jones began to call for shift-plays and a march was made across that field, equal in fame to that of General Sherman. It did not end quite so satisfactory, though, as we did not win the war bv it. Nevertheless, we gave Doane a scare from which they have not yet recovered. It was during this game that Reeves distinguished himself. Especially should he be given credit for his defensive work. He was always ready to start and when he hit, the other fellow was always the sufferer. Huffman also played a great game, but that was nothing unusual for him. He was always the same and never failed his teammates when they expected something from him. On the kickoff, it was nothing out of the ordinary to see Huffman tackle the man before he had started with the ball and when it came to charging, he was ecpial to a war horse. The last quarter brought no change in the score. However, we were highly complimented, indirectly, by the visitors, since they became very conceited over the fact that they had held us to a no-score game. One hundred fifteen THE GRAND ISLAND GAME When our team left for Grand Island we all experienced the effect of fearful forebodings. We were greatly relieved, in fact proud, when we found out how misplaced our fears had been. Our men played their usual good, clean game, or probably a little better than usual. Not so their opponents. It was during a very critical and hopeful moment that Captain Long was struck unconscious by one of the Grand Island men. Long was only a short distance from the goal when the accident occurred. The Peru team had another disadvantage with which to contend since they made the trip the same day that the game was played, and it’s a “right smart walk” out there. Taking everything into consideration, it seems the Baptists have nothing to boast over, if they did get two touch-downs. By the way, have you seen that big tall Dutchman? Oh! yes, you saw him in the other football games. Well, lie played in this one and played it right. Kohler never saw a football game until he came to Peru, but the way he rammed his head into that other center’s solar plexus was something scandalous. lie became mighty efficient at this business before the season was over. Andrews was there with about one hundred eighty-five pounds, also. There is no yellow streak in Andv. Why, lie had just finished knocking the socks off of football players when he left school to face matri—but you know all about that. THE COTNER GAME We didn’t do a thing to Cotner but take revenge, for last year’s defeat, by beating them 27-7. To start off the thing let us recall the first quarter. You remember the time and the place. It was about four minutes after the first whistle that Wab, the little fat man, was standing all unguarded and Long “slipped” him the ball. You recall how lie ran those sixty yards and planted the ball behind the goal posts just to show them how easily it could be done. We didn't want any more that half because it was too hard on the men to run so far before they were warmed. The third quarter brought us another counter and the last brought two. Just imagine, if you can. what the score would have been were the game divided into fifty parts! McLean was “acting up” at center in this game. Mac came to us as a veteran, having played four years on the Fairbury High School team. He was the size and sinew which made us expect great things from him. lie proved to be a tower of strength and an immovable lineman. All hail Me—Lean, the present Hercules. Ganzcl is another of our men who is “there and over.” Gan came to 11s from Wesleyan where he had worked with the football team. In the Cotner game he proceeded to One hundred sixteen show the bull-dogs how to get down the field for punts and passes. 11 is exhibition didn’t cease with the Cotner game, but on the contrary, it was really the blooming of the bud, as he kept this good work up during the rest of the season. THE KEARNEY GAME Out to Kearney, The State’s desert land, Went our football team And the Peru Normal Band. The mere recollection of the Kearney game is sufficient to bring tears to the eyes of all Peruvians, and especially to those who suffered the torture of witnessing the game. If ever curses of the Gods were called down upon a people it was done by the Peru visitors at Kearney. The welcome we received was all we could ask, but that with the treatment during the game reminded us of the wolf in the story of Little Red Ridinghood. It is not our policy to attempt to explain our defeat by unfair play, but our desire for the truth makes it necessary to record the bad decisions of the referee which alone were the cause of Kearney’s victory. It is to be regretted that the Kearney athletic people used such poor judgment in the selection of an arbiter. To make a record of the game makes us blush with a sense of disgrace because we have this sister school, in name, who is guilty of such a deed. The Kearney team won by one touch-down, which would not have been a bad defeat, if we had not had the referee to play against in addition to the team. The Kearney Coach very graciously complimented our team and especially mentioned Haney, Ralston, Sandberg and Captain Long. He gave Haney credit for being the best tackle that had ever played on the Kearney field. It was very readily believed by those who had seen him play. On the tackle around play he got through for his distance every time. Pat has been elected Captain for 1915. We believe him worthy of the honor and know he is equal to the position. Captain Long and Sandberg, according to the Kearney Coach, should be classed with Johnson of Wesleyan, and this is no mean compliment. We quite agree with the Coach and what gives 11s great pleasure is the fact that these two • great half-backs will, in all probability, c with us next year. THE YORK GAME Being a very conscientious people, we pause to consider before criticizing this game. All those who witnessed the game felt as if we were taking candy One hundred seventeen from a baby, but our team had no mercy. The second team played the first half and scored a touch-down while York was unable to even threaten a score. The second half the ’Varsity were turned loose and they ran the score up to 87. Our first team scored more points against York in the one half than Kearney had made against the same team in a full game. Ashton was a good ground gainer in this game. When he got away lie had to carry the ball and run his own interference because no one could keep in front of him. When it comes to speed. Tommy is there. Jones should also be credited for his generalship, not only in this game but in all of them. Vic’s head was always working during the game and nothing escaped his notice. 11c was a demon at recovering the ball and often made good gains at critical moments. SECOND TARKIO GAME. 'I bis game should not be considered, since we had shown Tarkio how they compared with us, but since they seem to have improved, we, in our justice, deem them worthy of a second notice. The trip to Tarkio was made on Thanksgiving day. Of course that meant the boys must give up their dinner. This disappointment, together with the strenuous trip, was sufficient to take away much of their vigor. Captain Long was also out of the game because of a broken ankle, which was another item SENIOR FOOTBALL SQUAD One h 11 ml ml rttjh teen VARSITY F00T1 (ALL SQUAD in the disadvantage column. These hindrances probably are responsible for our failing to score, but we are glad to say that Tarkio fared no better. We mention Waybriglu. alone, in connection with this game as we believe he is worthy of the distinction. He was the most consistent ground gainer we had. This was true of him all season and knowing his disposition, we are not surprised that he should keep up his reputation until the last. Whenever Wav-bright was called upon to perform, you could bet vour hat on his earning through the stunt, and need not worry about going home bareheaded. We have no criticisms to make about our full-back, but we do have nianv words of praise. We are proud to have him in our class, but regret that Peru must lose such a valiant knight of the gridiron. This game concluded the season’s schedule, and when we pause to think of its wonderful results, we feel that this attempt to record it is more nearly sacrilege than an honorary memorial.

It is nothing unusual to record that Philo has had a successful year, but this one, judging from the entertaining and instructive programs we have listened to, would seem to have been the acme of achievement. One reason for this is that Philo has no drones, there is a provision that each Philomathean must in turn make his appearance on the program, which he is glad to do. The presidents, Joseph Klima and E. E. Ericson. have at all times had the interests of the Society at heart, while the chairmen of the program committee, Graycc Tcich and Hope Mutz, together with their faithful co-laborers, have performed unusually efficient service. Miss Rose Clark, our adviser, has had the enthusiasm of the younger members coupled with years of experience as a loyal Philomathean, and the value of her guidance in the affairs of the Society cannot be over-estimated. We look forward with pleasure to the fiftieth anniversary of Philo and plan to have a big Philo Home-Coming at that time. Otie huniU'fil fnrly EVERETT OFFICERS.

This education comprises more than merely a knowledge of subject matter. The world is looking for men and women who not only have a splendid academic career and strong reasoning powers, but who are in command of ideas of social development and ability to express themselves before the public. One’s education cannot be completed until he has attained some knowledge of the social aim of present-day pedagogism. The student, whatever his aspirations may be, who expects to succeed, must be a leader in the social circle as well as in the other various phases of the school-room activities: lie must have ability to express himself clearly and vividly to the people with whom lie deals. In order to meet this demand, to enable the student to learn to express himself in public, literary societies have been organized. It was with this purpose in view that Everett Literary Society was founded in 1872. Since the date of its organization it has been the aim of every member to make the society one worth while. After a few years of successful meetings held in one of the class-rooms, the society was given the room it now occupies. This year the members of the organization have striven to make the meetings worth while in an educational way. On the other hand, entertainment of a diversified character has received its full share of attention. Programs to suit special occasions have been given; witty debates have spiced the evening’s entertainment on various occasions. Not a little can be said of the good times we have enjoyed at the different social functions, in which the boys and girls took their turns in entertaining each other. Although the year’s work has been profitable, we hope that next year will be even more successful than the one just passed.

He is class poet of the class of (915, was a member of the Gospel team, of the Chorus, of the Glee Club, of the Y. M. C. A. quartette, and is at present president of the Philomathcan Literary Society. He has been elected to the superintendency of the Battle Creek city schools for next year. Mr. Fricson has the rare power to hold friends in the midst of many accomplishments. He is a friend of all. and all are his friends, rave one. He is an active member of the debating society. ROY W. KELLEY It is not work that kills men, it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade. You can hardly put more work upon man than he is able to bear. It isn’t the revolution that destroys the machinery—it’s the friction.” Mr. Kelley has worked his way through the school and we are all proud of him for it. He was also the class poet of the class of 1909 in the Lexington High School. He taught rural schools several years and next year will be principal of the High School at Loup City. He has always taken an active part in the debating as well as the literary society, lie is a resourceful debater, yet he is always ready to treat his opponent with utmost respect and courtesy. Although it requires a walk of four miles he is prompt in meeting his class obligations. MISS BIRDIE SNIDER Men must be taught as if you taught them not. And things unknown proposed as things forgot. Miss Snider is a Nebraskan. She was born at Bassett, and her home is now at Florence, although she has lived in Nebraska City, where she graduated from the High School in 1910. While she was in the High School she took an active part in debating and was on the Inter High School debating squad. She has had three years’ experience as a teacher. She is especially preparing Iter-self for language and English teaching. She was a member of the debating class and gave iter talks so smoothly that at first the class thought they were committed. She is the only girl to represent the higher classes in the Junior-Senior debating arena. MISS DIXIE FEARIE Kind hearts are more than coronets. And simple faith than Norman blood.” Miss Fearie of Seward has had a varied experience as student and teacher. While in the Academy at Wesleyan she took an active interest in elocution and oratory, and while principal at Bee she took an active interest in debating. In the preliminary she easily won a place. Her hobby, always directness of argument. and whole-hearted rebuttal. All debate lovers were sorry when she accepted a place in the Lincoln city schools. She will return and graduate at the end of summer school. One hundred forty-seven Junior 9?bat?ra, 1315 MERRITT CHAFFEE Those lily hands, those bewitching eyes, those words as sweet as taffy. Fool the Profs, ensnare the boys: but the girls cry out. It’s Chaffee.” This beardless youth from the Sunflower State has developed a great deal of oratory in a little while, and for the use of charts for demonstration is excelled only by the debating adviser of the Juniors. Merritt graduated from the Alliance High School in 1913. lie has always taken an active part in all work of a literary nature. While at Alliance he was a member of the debating squad two years, and took part in the declamatory contest. He is an officer of the debating society and is a regular attendant. He is always logical and convincing. although not always readily convinced. He easily won out in the preliminary debates, and will represent his class as one of tiie four. L. F. CHARD At Learning’s fountain it is sweet to drink. Rut ’tis a nobler privilege to think; And oft from books apart, the thirsting mind May make the nectar which it cannot find.” A Stephen A. Douglas—in oratory and size. He is a graduate of the Brock High School, and has taught school in country and town, lie has won five medals in contests. One medal was won in the High School and the others were before the W. C. T. U., where lie won consecutively the silver, gold, grand gold, and diamond medals. He is the president of the debating society, and is very active in its behalf. Mr. Chard is a fine student and good mixer. He makes and holds friends. lie has the Inppv faculty of knowing when to keep still, lie is an active worker in the Y. M. C. A. JOSEPH WESLEY BOYD Count that day lost whose low descending sun. Views from thy hand no worthy action done.” Joe is a product of Colorado, moved to Trenton, Nebraska, where he graduated with class honors in 1913. Taught school one year near Trenton, and decided that he wanted to have more education. lie was a member of the Trenton High School debating squad two years, and not only does he hold an office in the debating society, but he also takes an active part in the debates. Joe reasons down to fine points and is always sure to have his hearers know the history of the question. He plays basket-ball, class football and baseball, and is a fine example of an athlete, that can make good in intellectual fields. CLYDE LEROY LEECE The ’Lecce’ a mighty man is he. with strong and sinewy hands. And the muscles of his brawny arms arc strong as iron bands.” In the preliminaries Mr. Lccce was the surprise of the week. With his loud and powerful voice, with his force and logic, with his keen wit and satire, he easily succeeded in sweeping away the arguments of his opponents as if they had been chaff. Although he had taken an active part in debating at North Bend, where he graduated from the High School, lie never rcnllv found himself until he had the opportunity to meet big people in the College debates. Immediately his stock went above par and the class elected him to be toastmaster at the Junior-Senior banquet, where -lie acquitted himself with lasting glory. He has been elected to a fine position at Clarks for next year.

Ray Scott Such an interest in argumentation was aroused by the pieiiminary debates in February that theic came to be a great desire on the part of students to organize a Debating Society to provide exercise and practice in this line of work. Accordingly, those interested, met and formed tiiis Society, which has provided as much entertainment and profit for its members as any organization in school. There is no class distinction in this membership—we have listened alike to the oratory of the High School student and of the dignified Senior. Many up-to-date questions have been discussed; practice in parliamentary law has been provided for, and genuine interest has been the watchword of the members all year. Those who have studied the principles of debating find in this Club a place where they may make practical applications of them. This training of young students in defending their own beliefs is one that will be of benefit to them in later years. Our adviser, Professor 1. Ci. Wilson, to whom a great deal of credit for the success of the Club is due, is one of the most energetic and broad-minded men of the Faculty, and with his leadership the Club looks forward to another successful year in 1915-16. Our officers have been enthusiastic and tireless workers. The wisdom of the Club in their selection is manifested by the fact that every officer has held a place on the Normal debating squad.

The success of an institution is dependent not alone upon the number who subscribe to it, but upon the active living and serving of the individuals who support it. The Y. W. C. A. is a very potent factor the world over, in bringing girls into a closer friendship and into a greater desire to help others, creating a spirit of service that would otherwise, in a measure, be lost. The Y. W. C. A. of Peru has grown with the years and is now one of the largest organizations in the school. The regular meetings held during the quiet hour of the Sabbath afternoons have brought to every attendant the helpful messages of service. Besides these meetings, a spirit of renewed consecration and devotion has come from the special meetings of the Week of Prayer and the Social Betterment Campaign, held in connection with the Y. M. C. A. The social side, as a very important part of the Association, has not been neglected. Frequent Friday afternoon kensingtons, as well as the observance of a few favorite holidays, have satisfied in a happy way the social instinct and have proved that the Y. W. C. A. is an Organization truly helpful in the broadest sense. Thus does our Organization serve. One hundred fifty-three I.ovoll ituswcll V. M. C. A.

The year of 1914-15 lias been a remarkable one in the annals of the Y. M. C. A. of the Peru State Normal. First, it has the distinction of having the largest membership in the record of the school. Second, the different activities which were carried on were far about the average in the extent and support. Besides the usual general reception and watermelon stag, a new stunt, a men’s banquet, was put on this year. It was served in the basement of the Methodist church. Almost one hundred fifty men enjoyed the five-course luncheon and the toasts which followed. During the year the regular Sunday afternoon and noonday prayer-meetings were well attended. Several men of exceptional ability spoke to the men. On March 18th, Simonds. Worthley, Pope and Baily started a three-day campaign, holding evangelistic meetings and giving the men opportunities for private conferences. The meetings were successful in that a dozen men decided to enter the Christian life and the whole moral and spiritual tone of the school was lifted. On the whole, we can say that the Y. M. C. A. has been alive and “on the job” all this year.

The Sunday meetings were well attended throughout the year, and the devotional services were made very interesting and instructive for the twenty members included in the association. By the untiring efforts of Father Weis, of Nebraska City, we were given the privilege of hearing Holy Mass every second Saturday. This is the one privilege that the N. C. A. proudly boasts, since it is one that it has not been so freely favored with for a few years. The Catholic Encyclopedia that has been placed in the Library promises to be very helpful to the future Catholic students, and with an abundance of good books and energetic members, the X. C.

Ohc hundred fifty-nine DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS Schwenkcr Blankenship Glasgow Myscr Johnson Srawatir (Elult The school year of 1914-15 has been an important one in the history of the Dramatic Club. The Club has had its full quota of sixty members throughout the year, and the plays which have been presented monthly have been the work of standard authors. The Club has also welcomed a new adviser this year, Miss Grace Myscr, temporary head of the Expression Department. Miss Myscr comes to Peru from Canton, Ohio. She graduated from the Emerson School of Oratory in Poston and has had considerable experience in private teaching, lecture and platform work. The first plays presented were “Cicely’s Cavalier” and “Miss Civilization. followed during the next few months by “Poison,” “The Marble Arch,” “My Mexican Rose,” “Fugi,” and “Comedy and Tragedy.” The interpretation of the different characters was excellent and the acting of a high order. Especially commendatory work was done by the casts presenting Barrie’s “Twelve-Pound Look” and “King Daughter.” One of the greatest dramatic productions of the year was presented in April when the Club presented as its annual public performance, Winchell’s Smith’s comedy in four acts, “The Fortune Hunter.” Each character was carefully studied and a strong cast chosen.

His successful friend. Harry Kellogg, advises him to go to a small town and marry an heiress. Nat agrees, and Kellogg gives him rules to live by. guaranteed to win him a million. Nat’s attempt to follow these rules makes the fun of the play. He succeeds, however—goes to church, stops swearing, smoking, gambling; gets work in a tumble-down drug store run by a simple-hearted old inventor. Sam Graham, and traps the wealthy banker’s daughter, as per the rules, who finally proposes to him. In the meantime, however, he comes to like work, makes a success of the drug store, keeps a promoter from stealing a valuable invention from kindly Sam Graham, and falls in love with Betty Graham. The play ends in a rain storm—happily, of course. THE CAST Nathaniel Duncan. “Nat”—the fortune hunter.. ..........................

MORGAN In the reception room at Mount Vernon Hall hangs the picture of a little white-haired woman, Miss Eliza C. Morgan, word of whose death came to us not long ago. Miss Morgan died January 20. 1915. at the advanced age of 86, in Rochester. . Y., at the home of her niece. Miss Morgan was preceptress of Mount Vernon Hall and teacher of rhetoric and history for over a quarter of a century. She was called to this position under the presidency of Gen. T. J. Morgan, in 1872. and resigned in 1898. Since leaving Peru, Miss Morgan has spent several winters in Washington. 1). C.. though she always regarded Rochester. X. Y., as her home. A great spirit has finished its work, and has been released. The world of Old Peru moves on unconscious, but the children of the State Normal at Peru have been blessed in her coming, and they who knew her and felt her optimism, her cheer, her courage, and her belief in the gospel of hard work, can never cease to be thankful that Miss Morgan lived among them.

MAJORS ©ur Jffrfeni) The first legislature of Nebraska consisted of men chosen for their sterling worth and character. Many of them were men who had served in the Civil War. None of these, however, had a more brilliant record than the young Colonel Thomas J. Majors, who, as a member of the first senate, secured the establishment of the first State Normal of Nebraska. He, as a member of the Hoard of Education, voted for the selection of Kearney as the site of the second State Normal: he was a member of the legislature which created the third and fourth Nebraska State Normals, located at Chadron and Wayne. Gratifying appropriations for the maintenance of these four State Normals have been secured, largely through the untiring efforts of this indomitable worker. As a member of the legislature of 1909 he obtained the appropriation for our magnificent Administration Building. Directly or indirectly, he has been largely responsible in securing the appropriations for the splendid buildings now on the campus, all valued at nearly a half million dollars. While lie was a member of the Board of Education, from 1902 to 1907. Peru began to take its place with the great Normal Schools of the Nation, and has grown into the “Greater Peru of today. Mr. Majors has seen the Peru Normal grow from a school of 65 students, enrolled the first year, to 1,315 students, enrolled in 1914-1 )15: from two graduates in 1870. to 202. in 1915; he has seen 2.296 graduates receive their diplomas. The Board of Education voted to name the new $100,000 Training Building. now being erected. The T. J. Majors Training Building.” in honor of, and in expression of the deep appreciation of the forty-eight years of unselfish service and devotion to Peru and the “Normal School Idea.” One hundred scvcnty-ctylil Towle Reeves Letter House Jean Towle I.lnn Clements Croup Kunz Slotliower Trotter Koup Lundberg Slothower Marqunrdt lleebncr Illber lleehncr Pick well Butler Johnson Trotter McM cken Miller Plckwell Snider Sit? (£ct«ii (Cmutty (Club The present Cass County Club was formally organized on October 26. 1914. The enthusiastic spirit of the Club was evidenced by the fact that almost before the Club officers were elected at the first meeting a “get-together” picnic was mentioned and the suggestion was heartily endorsed by everyone present. Since the Club is largely composed of “live wires.” no time was wasted, but arrangements were quickly completed, and the picnic was held in Neal’s pasture the first- week in November. In fact, the plans were made so hastily that notification of the weather man was entirely forgotten and the evening could hardly be called balmy. However, a rousing bonfire soon dispelled the gathering gloom and the supper provided by the capable committee was the only other thing required to complete the enjoyment of the evening. Gathered round the blazing fire, provided with the customary sizzling wienies and steaming coffee, the various members told stories until suddenly, through all the cheer, came the realization that a snow storm was coming uninvited, and the home-going was rather unceremonious. However, memories of the fun still linger, and the evening will be remembered by all who were there as one of the jolliest of the year. The Club now numbers twenty-eight members. Since Cass County sends new representatives to Peru each year, the places of this year's Seniors will be more than filled next September. Boasting three such Faculty members as it does, the Cass County Club will doubtless become a regular school institution. and in the future the original members may say with pardonable pride, The big Peru Cass County Club?

Another school year is here and passing, another volume of The Nor-malite is being compiled. May it be a volume that will induce higher standards of living in the hundreds who read it. The many changes and advances of the Xormalite during the year indicates that this wish will easily be fulfilled. More students are enrolled than ever before; the upper classes are much larger than in past years; the alumni organization has grown with time: work will soon be begun on the fine new training school building; and certainly the school spirit is fine, as was manifested by the manner in which the budget was supported. Because of all this we forecast a memorable year for Peru, and The Xormalite will certainly share this good fortune. We crave your forbearance and solicit your support in the publishing of this periodical. x The following editorial paragraph is an abridgement of an editorial appearing in The Xormalite a year ago. As it is an expression of the attitude this periodical will take toward simplified spelling under its present editorial management, we here reproduce it: The Normalitc retains its allegiance to the principles of simplified spelling, altho compelled to reduce the number of simplified forms it employs, as compared with earlier volumes of this journal. The one general rule we shall try to adhere to applies to verbs whose present tense forms end in a consonant and whose past tense and perfect participle forms end in the sound of t. In the spelling of these latter forms, we shall regularly employ the final t instead of ed, as in such words as akt, drest.

Did you ever tie one? Were simplified spelling universally used, in which case beau, bow, and bo, would be spelled exactly the same, one might think the question referred to physical contortion due, perhaps, to a cowardly blow below the belt. But the reference is rather to the good, old-fashioned b-c-a-u. perhaps bashful, perhaps barefoot, but not necessarily possessing either characteristic, judging from the two manly specimens in the above bow knot. These “selected’’ ones need no introduction to a Peru audience, but for the sake of those who might puzzle over their identity, be it known that the beau in the lower left-hand bow, called L. R. Eastman, was chosen as the handsomest man in the Senior class. The girl chosen as the most beautiful, appears iust above and is known as Harriet Glasgow. In the upper right hand bow Lavern Mathews, who was chosen as the most respected man. looks forth; and just below is Katherine Gamble, who was chosen as the most respected girl. It is not known whether any of these four people ever had a share in tying beau knots. Let them speak for themselves—but it may be safely said that they represent, by actual vote, the “bean ideals” and “beaux ideals” of the Senior class of 1915. One hundred riylity-four Sums ” There arc knots of many descriptions. There are beaux of many kinds, too; But if you would tie one forever, Start it elsewhere than here in Peru. With bow knots we all are familiar, They are easily tied and untied. If you think beau knots stay tied forever, The experiment sure you ne’er tried. The start is cpiite simple and lovely. But, though finished, the knot is ne’er true; For scarce is it “off with the old love” Before it is “on with the new.” Mow different the bow knots of friendship! They’ll still last when our school days are o’er! And, if true friends while here at the Normal, We’ll be true friends tho far from her door.

May that tongue be palsied which docs not utter “Long live King Belshazzer! Long live the King! Huzza!! Huzza!!! Belshazzcr had his feasts and festivals. Fvery age has had its ravenous attempt to satisfy the tendency or instinct of gregariousness residing in the breast of every man. In every clime, people in the lower status, have tried in a more or less meager way to alleviate the pangs of the same desire. We hear of the Goulds, the Astors, the Vanderbilts, giving dinners, balls and social entertainments at an outlay of months of worry and thousands of dollars in preparation. At the same time, we arc pained to learn of the waif, the thug, the degenerate meeting his particular social group in the alleys, dingy dives, and crime-breeding saloons of cities of this commonwealth. The social butterfly with “voluminous” earrings, blood-red lips and cheeks, led by a “dealt” quadruped of the canine species, trips coqucttishly to a foxtrot affair, or to occupy a box seat at the matinee, while a member of the same sex. after having spent ten, twelve or even fourteen hours behind a counter, or listened to the hum of factory wheels, for a similar fatiguing time, enters a five-ccnt “movie.” On Fifth avenue is seen the so-called leisure class members of which carry gold-headed canes and smoke initialed Turkish cigarettes with no thought save that of sailing on the social sea of the “four hundred.” A few blocks distant are the city’s emaciated poor whose opportunities to satisfy the craving for social development and gregarious aggrandizement is niggardly denied. It takes no colossal minded individual to note that one of the problems demanding solution today is: How can wc impress and compel the more fortunately situated to see the folly and wrong in squandering along the lines spoken of and how can we provide more ample and wholesome chances for those who arc less blessed with material wealth? In some, the social tendency is given a role too prominent; in others, too minor. Wc need more equable distribution of advantages; withdrawal of special privileges and an injection of fair play and democracy, which would balance and tone us up wonderfully as a nation. But not only is this true in this field: it is likewise true in no lesser degree and possibly more in university and school life. Particularly is it true in the large universities of our land. Social distinctions are more or less tightly drawn, not upon the merits of the individuals, but usually upon some artificial or financial criterion. Most colleges are graced with the presence of fraternities and sororities whose primary function is that of providing adequate social advantages. They have their place and justify their existence. There is one inherently wrong principle about the “frat” idea, namely, undemocratic exclusiveness. And so long as that is true they can never hope to receive the full sanction of the American conscience. The fact that these secret societies do not have the sympathy of legislators and educators is borne out by recent attempts to suppress One hundred eighty-aix them. California considered a bill which sought to deal a death-blow to the Grcek-letter organizations in the University of California. Moreover, the fraternity spirit does not meet with approval because it conflicts with the ideal of the American home. A certain amount of artificiality and extravagance is always present, and the members could not maintain, respect in their home community if they indulged in as much “high living and formality as they do in the college community. When non-fraternity men maintain higher scholastic standing than do their Grcek-letter friends, it appears as though some activities in college arc being emphasized too much, while others more vital and fundamental are understressed. Is it or is it not the fortune of the Pale Blue and the White to have no exclusive organization? Shall we consider her social life? Certainly, to approach the ideal there must be equal, ample and varied chances for all students to develop symetrically. Toleration should be given only to such entertainment and events as arc sure to contribute to the general well-being of every son and daughter of “Old Peru. Such training should be acquired here by those who arc going out. not only to lead the youth of this and other states, but also to take a leading role in the larger social spheres, that the effect shall react on the increased popularity of Peru graduates and an enlightened civilization. What arc the facts as they exist here? Certainly through the class units, literary societies, Christian associations, the churches and through the auspices of other organizations, many and varied, and it is safe to say generous, opportunities arc given to meet the normal tendency of sociability. Above this, however, is the fact that these advantages are of such wholesome character as to do nothing but contribute to the SUMMUM BONUM of everyone connected with this Hall of Learning. Social Democracy is here. Aristocracy must give way to the new order of things. Not over two score years ago a serious controversy arose between peoples of Chile and Argentina. They fought, but finally came to an understanding and pledged themselves never to struggle with each other again. In honor of this agreement and to afford some tangible and concrete memorial of this solemn pledge, they erected on the border line, in the heart of the Andes, a huge figure of the Christ, on the base of which were chiseled these words, “Sooner shall this figure crumble to dust, than shall Chilians and Argcntians break the vow which they have made at the foot of the Christ.” So. too, may the walls, the mortar, the stone of this institution crumble away before any son or daughter of Peru shall break the bond of sweet memory or forget the tie that binds all the loyal ones to their Alina Mater.

As the evening came near, others caught the contagion and secret meetings were held. But the rest of the society was not to be left out, and when on the eve of Hallowe’en, they gathered in their hall, it was found that by some magic power, a transformation had been effected. The room was dim; shocks of corn-stalks and piles of pumpkins suggested the season, while weird black cats, bats, witches and owls, conspicuously placed, looked down on the scene and gave the company the proper spirit for the entertainment. During the evening, games suited to the occasion were played. Perhaps the one which did most to test the character of the members was an airship ride. Several persons were asked to leave the room, then were brought back one by one. After being blindfolded and turned around two or three times, the adventurer was told to “step on board.” Then the trip began. The passenger could feel himself rising and the person who had been acting as his guide seemed far below; the trembling of the platform on which lie stood made him feel that he was, indeed, floating off into the air. This effect was heightened by his hitting his head upon what apparently was the ceiling. At this critical moment the aviator was told to jump. He did so and found that he had been deluded, for it had been no trip at all, but instead, a hallowe’cn joke. This put all in the mood for a frolic after which ring games were played, and the indispensible appleshooting and fortune telling were the order of the hour. After everyone had secured an apple and had learned what the future held in store for him refreshments were served. In the meantime the evening had slipped away, and it became necessary for the company to leave, but in the memory of Everetts, Hallowe’en eve of 1914 holds a prominent place. JHjtlnmatljran Sjallmitr’mt JJartir Hallowe’en suggests a long list of weird and uncanny sights and sounds too numerous to mention in detail. Add masquerade party to this and perhaps you can guess some of the things done by big Philos, little Philos, and Philos of all sizes, on the evening of October 31. We met in the chapel lobby in outlandish and motley disguises, even our voices having changed. Then through the dimly lighted chapel, we went up the platform steps and down again to the lower regions. A hot blast from Hades shut the door below with a bang. As a “stranger man” most heartily hugged each maiden, and a still stranger “damsel” did uth, we were reminded of earthly pleasures once enjoyed.

We assembled in front of the chapel steps and when all had arrived, marched to Neal’s pasture, Peru’s favorite picnicing ground. The boys gathered fagots for a fire and then while the “committee” was preparing supper, we played games. Everybody was given opportunity to roast his own weinie and marshmallow. (Of course, some of the boys ate more than one.) After supper, the main event of the evening occurred, namely the initiation of the Freshman adviser. The process was a very complicated and rather humiliating one, but Prof. Wilson came out of it unscathed. Next, the get-acquainted part of the program was given. Each person was asked to tell his name, where he came from, and to favor us with a “stunt” or memory gem. The air rang with our songs, yells, peals of laughter, and the boom of flashlight. It is hoped that we did not disturb any sleeping Peruvian as we merrily wended our way homeward. Slip gmjjljnmnrr Pirnir The 5th of October, the Sophomores held their picnic in Mr. Davenport’s pasture, just south of town. At 4:30, they met on the chapel steps and proceeded to the appointed place. Although it was rather dark and a rain threatened, several snap-shots were taken of the crowd. These, however, did not prove a great success. Some enthusiasm was aroused by playing a few old games until time for the supper. This was eaten around the camp-fire, and consisted of the ordinary “stuff” for such occasions, except that our adviser. Prof. Howie, ordered icecream brought out. This was indeed a treat and surprise. Supper over, the class officers and Mr. Howie made speeches around the fire. Mr. Howie told of his unattained desire to be an orator, but if he is no orator he generally has something to say when the occasion demands. The picnic ended, as all well behaved picnics should, with the class and Normal yells, and all went home feeling better acquainted, and with more class spirit than before. Get off the earth! Give us the scene! We’re the class of ’17. 3uninr “(Srt-Aaitiauttfrt JJartu Of the numerous events regularly scheduled for the class, perhaps one of the most interesting and one of the most important, at least one of the most enjoyable, is the annual “get acquainted” picnic. This affair is two-fold in its result. First, it makes us feel better acquaint- Onc hnmtrcil ninety W cd with each other. Held as it is, out in the open air, surrounded by exquisite landscape, beautifully decorated by nature’s artistic brush, one feels free to act and talk in his own natural way. A meeting such as this, is not marked by the stiff formality which is often present at various other receptions. Consequently, one feels more at case; more at liberty to do as he chooses and the “get-acquainted” part of the program is put into actual use. Moreover, it arouses school spirit and an interest in the class as a whole. When the new student hears the yells and the songs, he realizes more than ever that he is a member of a distinct organization and that lie has an importance equal to that of any member of the class. In fact, everyone feels a thrill of school spirit such as he never felt before. Enthusiasm such as this can only come through a meeting of this kind. On Thursday, October ist, we Juniors gathered together for our first party —“the get-acquainted party” if you please. About 4:30 P. M. we assembled in front of the chapel, each with his own cup and spoon, eagerly awaiting the word to proceed to the picnic ground. Soon our leader appeared and at his word of command, we started northward. And such joyful procession, nearly three blocks in. length! The merry group.made us feel that this was the largest Junior class in the history of the school. We were safely conducted to a beautiful ravine in a picturesque grove adjoining the Juanita Fruit Farm. Here, numerous games were played. Chief commissaries, Messrs. Blankenship and Dallam, proved good their title when they accounted that supper was ready. After each person had gotten his fill of wienies, bananas, oranges and cookies, we all gathered around the dying embers of the campfire which were shedding their glow in the growing dusk. Short speeches were given by different members of the class and our adviser, Mr. Beck. A vigorous rooting society was organized; new songs were introduced and the old yells were rehearsed. Then in the twilight of that glorious October day, we journeyed back over the hills, singing our praises to Old Peru, and believing more firmly than ever that we were members of the best class in school. “BJr” (Srt Arqttafitteit Registration is over; text books are secured; football spirit is rampant, and school work has begun in earnest. Questions that one hears on the Normal campus are these: How many Seniors are there? Is he a Senior? Is she? IIow do you like your work? Getting homesick? Such was the spirit and the condition of affairs when the Senior entertainment committee made arrangements for a class outing or “get-acquainted powwow.” The rendezvous was in a wooded pasture southeast of our Old College Town. When old Sol was about to retire for the night, we found ourselves following the “wagon of rations.” On arriving at the place to pitch camp, the first order of the day was: Divide into four companies, according to the months in which you were born. One hundred ninety-one One hundred nlncty-tico = jW, Possibly, the most amusing game for these dignified (?) ichabods was baseball, which was played with indoor baseball paraphernalia. “Jerusalem and Jericho.” “Alphabet,” and other “kid” games played leading roles, too. Soon came the time to attack the mess wagon. Each one had-provided himself with a stick on which he roasted a “wienie” or two. Coffee flowed freely. Potato chips, pickles, olives, buns, made up the “rational” diet. As a side dish, we had water-melons (which by the way, tried to make their get-away, assisted, as we believe, by under classmen), and as dessert we had Cucumis Citrullus as Prof. Jean is wont to call it. 'Time to break camp came too quickly. A bon-firc was built, in which was thrown all debris. Thrilled by the glow of the flames, and led by our class adviser. we gave “Senior! Senior! Ray! Ray!!” etc., and sang “The Pale Blue and the White.” Ranks were broken, and in parties of twos (by far the most numerous), threes and larger groups, we meandered homeward at the curfew hour. Uniun Smjitum During one’s college life, there arc always places, people, and happenings that stand out vividly against the background of the general every-day routine. First impressions of the town itself, people who help one to forget his homesickness, acquaintances formed that arc later to ripen into friendships—all these pass into and arc retained in that precious chamber of consciousness called memory. An event always long remembered in the social life of Peru is the amnial union reception given by the religious organizations of the school to all students and members of the Faculty. This is a time of informal good cheer, when old friends greet old. and when students of the previous years welcome the new students and endeavor to show them a good time. Such a reception was that held in the gymnasium in the fall of 1914. Fortunate were they who attended, for it was worth while in every respect. The receiving line safely passed, one found himself adrift in a throng of good-natured pleasure seekers, whose paths were to cross and recross many times during the year. Each was tagged with a slip of paper bearing his name and home town. The “wild and woolly west” was especially well represented, for Bob Boyd was there. No one could long remain unknown. Presently order was called for, and an excellent program, announced by Professor Hendricks, followed. Miss Myscr, who appeared for the first time before the students, delighted her listeners with several readings; Miss Blankenship sang beautifully; and a horn duct by Messrs. Hosic and Chatclain concluded the program. Professor Hendricks then tended to all a cordial invitation to attend the Sunday services on the following day. Some of the dear boys, wishing to show their ability along musical lines, got together during the evening and made the air vibrate to the strains of “Die Wacht am Rhine,” “Die Lorelei.” and other German classics, and they could only be hushed by the appearance of refreshments. Then, amid chatter and laughter, the first big event of the social calendar came to a close. One hundred nlncty-thrcc (gymnasium “iKiiT fartu All ladies, young: and old. of the school, including: faculty members, were invited to this very unique party by the girls of Miss Koch’s gymnasium classes. That accounts for the fact that about two hundred fifty little girls and “boys” (survivors of large turkey dinners), assembled in the “gym on Thanksgiving night. November 27. to have the time of their “young lives. As it would have been highly improper for these young hopefuls to be unchaperoned, the women of the Faculty were assigned this pleasant (?) task. There was not a dull moment during the entire evening. Each little tot entered into the games with childish energy and glee. Those who seemed somewhat shy and backward, as little Miss Davis and Young Bodwcll, were finally encouraged to take part and do their best when allowed to be leaders in such games as “Looly Loo,” “Farmer in the Dell,” “Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow,” and others suited to young minds. Just before the “party part” the youngsters were initiated into the intricacies of the maize dance, which they executed exceptionally well, considering their extreme youth. The dance ended in a march which led the children up into the balcony, where bananas, apples and oranges were awaiting them. Anyone witnessing the rapid disappearance of the fruit might fittingly have observed the truth of the statement, that “children are always hungry.” Of course, the pleasure of the evening would not have been complete without the Virginia Reel; and the children gayly tripped through its measures until the lights blinked. fHt. Iter non Entertains To the Peru girl students who found it impossible to spend the fall vacation at their homes, came this little note: “The lassies of Mt. Vernon will be at home to their little schoolmates, Saturday evening. November 7, from 8 till 9:30.” Promptly at 8 came lisping four-year-old Eloisc with Sister Betty, happy Mary and bashful Jessie, all in their party best. They were led to the parlor by a little Mt. Vernon lady, where they were made to feel at home by their hostess, Miss Cleland, by the cheering words of Grandmother O’Neil, and the untiring efforts of all the little Washingtons. Our kindergarteners, Paulic and Kathic, soon had them playing skip and tag, squirrel in the tree, button-button, and other games equally appropriate. After a stately (?) march through the long halls of the old mansion to beautiful strains of music, the little ones were served to apples, pop-corn, candy hearts with “I love you,” delicious red and white stick candy and all-day-suckers. They then departed for their homes where they informed their waiting mammas that nothing could be quite as pleasant as their first party. IH. (E. A. (Gljrtstmas Party On the evening of December 5. in the basement of the library, gathered a happy throng of young ladies. Although there was still a number of days be- Onc hundred ninety-four fore the great holiday, that all pervading feeling of surprise, which is an accompaniment of the Christmas season, was in the air. The girls came down the steps carrying mysterious looking bundles. They left these in the post office in charge of Mrs. Santa Claus. Age was no barrier to admittance, so all entered. Girls of kindergarten age played and romped while their ciders gathered around the fireplace and in groups, envying their youthful levity, and remembering their childhood days. The teacher of Punkin Center, District 23, gave a program. The children sang and recited songs and stories appropriate to Christmas to the satisfaction of their fond parents. Christmas dainties were next in order, after which sketches were made of Santa Claus. The results were certainly a credit to Peru Normal, and great promise of future artists were discovered. During the evening, pop-corn balls and apples were passed. Toward the close of the evening Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, aided by several of the young ladies, presented each happy maiden with a Christmas card from Miss Clark and a parcel post package. Shrieks of hysterical laughter greeted the disclosed gifts. The girls showed their love and esteem for the Y. W. Adviser by giving her a chair; flowers were given Miss Branson and Miss Morris, the visiting Y. W. C. A. Secretary. With “15 rails’' for Miss Clark. Miss Branson, Miss Morris, and Santa Claus, another of Peru’s happy evenings passed into memory. GUjrifltmaa ICntBtmjtmt, % 10. (£. A. Well, we were all there. At any rate the hall was full of girls with needles, thimbles, thread, bits of cloth, and plenty of cheerfulness and “pep. (A favorite word in Peru, by the way). We just played we were little girls again and from our bits of cloth fitted out complete wardrobes for twenty cute little dolls. A splendid program helped the time to pass all too swiftly as our nimble fingers flew. Mrs. House sang two selections of rare beauty; P cssie Ertcl played the piano with great sympathy and sweetness; Hazel Johnson read in her charming way; at last, but not least, was a talk by Miss Morris, our student secretary, who told us of her recent experiences among the normal schools of the state. Dainty refreshments added to the sociability of the afternoon. Our work held a deeper significance than mere fun, for we were helping Santa get ready for Christmas. Don’t you suppose a wee bit more of Christmas cheer came to those little orphans in the Mother’s Jewel’s Home as the result of our kensington? jHnmit Urnum ©jmt Ktnusr On February 22, the halls and parlors of the Girls’ Dormitory were gorgeously arrayed in the national colors to remind everyone that Mount Vernon Hall was having a birthday, this date commemorating the thirty-fourth anniversary of the establishment of the Hall. Up to this time, not much though had been given to the significance of the name. In spite of the inclement weather, reception invitations were answered by One liuudrcd ninety five four hundred students, Faculty members, and other friends. Upon their arrival they were surprised to note that the girls were missing, and in their places were stately, snow-crowned Colonial dames in polonaise. Much querry was heard among the boys concerning the exact reason why so many peaceable ladies should have been obliged to wear bits of black court-plaster. However, there was such a show of jolly comradeship among the hostesses that no fears were of long duration. Tile guests were received by the preceptress, Miss Cleland. and the Misses Pauline Ranncy, Monita Logsdon, Gladys Anderson, and Daisy Johnson. The only formal entertainment consisted of a piano duet by the Misses Gertrude Fleck and Gladys Chancy, a piano solo bv Miss Clcora Eng, and a violin solo by Miss Elizabeth Freeborn. Most of the rooms were open, and the visitors were escorted through the entire building to sec how the ninety-four girls live. In spite of the institutional furniture, each room reflected the distance individuality of its occupants. Some of the young women had shown remarkable ingenuity in converting Mr. Gilbert’s wooden boxes into daintily-draped bookcases, shelves, and dressing-tables. Others had actually made beautiful finished pieces in the manual-training shop here. Some one has said that we find what we are looking for in this world. This has nothing to do with the remainder of the story, but Professor Gregg certainly found the required number of good dictionaries; as for Professor Howie’s search for candles—space docs not permit further elaboration. Those who had supposed that the Dorm” inhabitants were an imprisoned, disconsolate lot had their minds quite disabused of that idea after observing the delightful family spirit between them and their charming little chaperon. The most popular resort was the music room where punch bowls occupied a long table beautifully decorated with tiny silk flags and red carnations. It was presided over by the Misses Mary Jane Davis, Musetta Ball, Hilda Grosshans, Alma Moscly, Minnie Thompson, Emma Sundell, Phoebe Davis, and Emma Frolmcr. A. Ray Scott and Professor Smith tied for first honors in doing justice to the punch. The lights blinked before either would retire in the other’s favor. This sad old world will never know which was the greater man. ffimptunt uf draining utearljers fur g rnturu Last spring, when the present Senior class were Juniors, an event took place which made 11s wish (for the first and only time) that we too were Seniors. So when on March 6, 1915, the training teachers of the Faculty held a reception for the Senior class, we considered ourselves fortunate and happy indeed, and could scarcely wait for the long anticipated treat. In spite of stormy weather, we dressed in our prettiest and sallied forth. Our training teachers most graciously received us as we entered the gymnasium, which they had completely transformed with flags and bunting. After being presented to the teachers in the receiving line, whom, of course, we had never met before, each Senior was decorated by having a paper pinned on his back, bearing some such name as actor, doctor, nurse, guardian, jitney, etc. Mrs. One hundred nincty-sfx Crawford saw to it that each name fitted the person so placarded, and the latter was to guess his profession from the hints and conversation of his friends. A unique spelling contest proved highly exciting to the. onlookers as well as the participants, and Dean Rouse was constantly obliged to command silence. There were 26 on a side, each one representing a letter of the alphabet, and as Mrs. Crawford pronounced the words, each side endeavored to be the first to juggle the letters into place. Miss Koch then took charge of the Grand March, which was very creditably completed, due to her excellent leadership. Following this we were divided into groups of sixteen, each group forming a circle, and played games under the supervision of Miss Koch. The games included folk dances and those of educative value which we might use as teachers. We were mighty glad to be seated for refreshments after our strenuous exercise; and it seemed rather queer, yet pleasant, too, to be so delightfully served by our highly esteemed teachers. As a fitting conclusion to the good time, two flashlights were taken of the entire company, after which we yelled for our teachers and our school, sang the color song, and went home. iflt. Tlrnunt JJartij “Arc you going to the ‘dorm’ party Saturday evening? asked a Sr. of a certain Jr. “Sure,” was the reply. This is the 011c opportunity outside of shirt-tail parades, that 1 have of going to the dorm, and most assuredly I’ll embrace it.” This Jr. did not find himself alone in representing the male section of his class for besides the Jr. boys, there were the upper classmen also, with expectant and gleaming faces. Of course, the strangeness of the place, which had taken on a gala-day attire—flowers, red decorations and subdued lights—had much to do as to the radiant faces, but the thrill of realizing that you arc a guest at a Ladies’ Dorm—ahem!—is enough to make anyone’s countenance glow like old Sol. Talk about a reception! Miss Cleland and her girls certainly did “receive.” I11 the reception line were “Cassius who is “our boy in dorm parlance, Miss Cleland, Miss Burgess, and Miss Gunderson. From here the guests were escorted to the dining room which had been cleared of tables and other unnecessary “impedimenta.” Here such games as charades, “Slide, Kelly Slide,” “Spell Down,” and similar games interested the ichabods. Pres. Hayes succeeded in suggesting the most interesting charade. This is it! Pin a piece of paper with the word “sage on it. below the knee, which represents “sausage bologna.” Refreshments consisted of ice cream, home-made candy, and wafers. Partners were secured through the matching of red and green bells. It is to be doubted if Solomon himself could have recognized some of the “matchings” as bells, but it turned out alright, as those who failed to match had the privilege of going out in the kitchen and eating with the cooks. It appeared that some of the guests were very fond of eggs, as such articles were found on the persons of Mr. Long and Mr. Klima. One hundred ninety-seven One hundred nincty-cipht Giving “15 Rahs” for Miss Clcland and the girls, and assuring them that they would “come again” at a future time (that is some of them), the boys made their way home, wearily but happily satisfied as far as mere curiosity was concerned. |I. fit. (E. A. (SatluTimi You may talk of your “swell times,” of your enjoyable evenings, but when it comes to downright fun and joviality a “stag party is par excellence. Mr. Janda, of football fame, made a few feeble remarks one morning that served as an announcement, and the invitation was received with great joy. 1 lie big event occurred one sunny afternoon following football practice, which made it possible for gridiron aspirants to attend. After a few remarks by Mr. Lcfler, stating the place the Y. M. C. A. occupies in a school and how anxious the local organization was of having every man in school identify himself with it, the “eats were attacked. Before this, however, a contest between the leanest professor. Mr. Hoyt, and the fattest. Mr. Howie, was held, which consisted of devouring one-half of a melon. The former won easily. As soon as this was over the real work of disposing of the load of melons began in earnest and by each one doing his part, efficiently and quickly, the job was soon completed. Srljunl ffimytimt Of all the events of the year none has been more enjoyable or more appreciated than the reception given on April 10th in the Trainers Building by the High School students in honor of the High School teachers. The reception was held in two of the recitation rooms which were beautifully decorated—one in the High School colors, the other in the Senior colors. The success of the evening was largely due to the excellent and well organized plans for entertainment. Each person, upon entering, was given a pennant bearing the name of one of the four classes of the school. After the guests had gathered they were asked to separate into these different classes. Each class was then asked to organize and be prepared to take part in inter-class contests. A lively interest and enthusiasm was actuated by reason of the friendly rivalry between the groups. During the course of the evening refreshments were served. The High School students proved to be such royal entertainers that the guests failed to depart until after the lights had gone out, and the leave-takings were carried on by candle-light. 3mtuir-§ nttrir Samjurt Many of 11s who were not Juniors were curious to know the reason of Professor Beck’s calling ever and anon a particular group of people to meet him in the gymnasium. But one day each Senior received the following note: “The Junior class of the Peru State Normal requests your presence at the Junior-Senior banquet, Friday evening, March 26th, 1915, at 8:00 P. M.. Chapel.” And then the mystery was cleared. One hundred nincly-nlne Never docs one see so much gallantry and chivalry displayed on the part of the boys for about two weeks prior to the big event. Some resorted to the most desperate tactics to “land that date.” Captain Long and Louis Kilzer broke all traditions of this institution by each securing a lovely damsel for the swell affair. The Juniors were a decidedly busy and laboriously-looking lot on Friday. One might see them emerge from the “gym” with cotton clinging to their apparel and they appeared more like those living in Dixieland, returning from the cotton fields. The evening of March 26th was beautiful, and before 8 o’clock the iclia-bods had congregated in the chapel and were waiting for the signal to march. This soon came, and slowly and with much dignity the procession advanced into the gymnasium. What a change had taken place! We felt we couldn’t believe our senses. The major and central portion of the room had been enclosed with a wall of cotton and this had a ceiling of pennants also made of cotton. The whole appeared much like an enchanted palace, beautifully attired for some great festival. The menu was as follows: Grape Fruit Wafers Roast Pork Brown Sauce Baked Potatoes Creamed Peas in Timbales Parkerhousc Rolls Lemon Jelly • Celery Olives Waldorf Salad Nutbread Sandwiches Ice Cream White Cake Mints Coffee Nuts While partaking of this excellent and wholesome repast, the orchestra, under the leadership of Miss Carpenter, treated the assembled banqueters to most rapturous music. The toast list was a long one. but the toasts were spicy, characteristic, and worth while, that those who responded had rapt attention throughout. Mr. Joe Boyd was Master of Ceremonies while Mr. Clyde Leece was toastmaster. The following toasts were responded to: “Cares” . . . Mr. Huston “Rowing” . Prof. F. C. Smith “Yesterdays” . . Miss Fay “Suppose” . . . Prof. Beck “Triumphs” . Miss Jimcrson “Altruism” . . Dean Rouse “Loyalty” . . .Mr. Bloss “Service” . . . Pres. Hayes At the midnight hour, “The Pale Blue and the White” was sung, and with that came to a close the most formal, enjoyable, and long-to-be-remcm-bered event of the school year. Tico hundred BOOK V Literature Seating All men, soon or late, arc compelled to defend or deny the truth of alleged phenomena, and the ease and accurateness with which conditions arc met, often determine a man's position or reputation. If there is the least hesitancy it is conjectured to be a lack of definite knowledge, or that the truth is not on that side. Christ was accosted by A CERTAIN LAWYER who was accustomed to the disputes of the court, yet his keenness of perception, his breadth of vision, his wealth of illustration, his well-timed questions, soon led the lawyer to see the truth. Then, as well as now, there is only one true end of argumentation—TRUTH! So long as the “Devil can cite scripture for his purpose,” so long will there be need of discussions to show the falsity of his conclusions, so long will there be need of pure unadulterated truth to offset the perniciousness of his satanic majesty. The great problems of the day demand careful, consistent, and sequacious thinking if truth is to be the desideratum. Trickiness has no place in forensics, for it offers no truthful solution to momentous problems. To think consistently, requires much effort; to be so exact as to defy successful contradiction, demands keenness of thought and vividness of expression; to be so thorough as to anticipate the weak points of one’s opponents, requires concentration; while to be investigative, requires interminable industry; and these—effort, thought, expression, concentration and industry—arc the noticeable attributes of efficacious debaters. Thirty-five years ago, a farm which had been bought for six dollars an acre, was permitted to go back to the original owner after one payment had been made; “for”, said the buyer, “it will never make it.” The land in question, exactly thirty-five years later, sold for one hundred fifty dollars an acre, and the same man remarked, “Well, see what I would be worth now, if I had held on to that piece of land.” Here is an instance of snap judgment so often used by young debaters. Young people, who are prone to hasty conclusions, soon learn in “give and take” debates, to place emphasis on the value of ideas, to adjust them to fit the issue, and to amass them properly where they will have a telling effect. The analysis of the question develops broad views of peculiar situations, lends interest in the relations of different aspects, and promotes investigation. Here again, the debater finds that sound judgment must be used; for he must in this analysis carefully eliminate all irrelevant and extraneous material. The questions of the hour demand solution; and there is, in nearly all cases, a great deal of truth on both sides. The real problem, then, is to find the probabilities of a solution; weigh the evidence in regard to its advancement of human interests, and find justification from biography and history for the support of the basic principles which underlie the foundation of the conclusion. Merc gossip finds no place in a debater’s store house, and he soon learns to say only those things for which lie has proof. This naturally leads him into research and while he is searching for evidence he stores facts, which others not Two hundred two interested in proof, fail to remember. His mind thus becomes a store house of facts, and he stands on firmer ground by his disapproving of gossip and his approving of truth. The debater gains in self-confidence with each debate he wins, until lie reaches his Waterloo; for he values the favorable opinion of three men more than having offered a truthful solution. His first defeat never has the effect of lowering the mark of his self-confidence, but of increasing his ambition to succeed along more rational and permanent paths. He polishes his speech, improves his personal appearance, trains his voice, practices graceful positions, and by increased devotion to courtesy, sincerity, and honesty, lie generally reaches the place of eminence, in the minds of his friends, that he had in his own before the defeat. The debater finds that one of his greatest problems is to organize his material, after he has done his reading, and the discipline is so great, and so difficult of attainment that the methods of the debate are sure to be made a part in the acts of his business career. It would seem strange indeed to sec a good debater slovenly in his work. In the recitations lie stands erect, alert, open to conviction, and ready, to convince. He cannot be passed by without a reason, and is not satisfied to sit quietly by, and, sponge-like, absorb. Soon the awkward boy, who begins to debate, is not recognized, for he commences to make a complete speech in each recitation, takes a more active part in all discussions, and organizes his thoughts in such a way as to produce respect in the minds of his instructors, and admiration, in the minds of his mates. In almost all cases the debater is the leader in the school activities. He is elected class president bv a large majority, he is the editor-in-chief of the College paper, wins out in the election to the position of manager of the College Annual, as well as editor-in-chief, is president of the large literary societies, gives the announcements in chapel, represents his class in the practical talks, is president of the Christian societies, and is the ambassador of the. class on all important occasions. Not content with these eminent honors, he has commenced to invade the field of athletics, and when lie wrestles, he brings his mind to act with his muscles, puts real science into the contest, and uses his head for RE-buttal. If lie has time to compete in football he wins a place on the team —for his quick wit and ready mind cause him to anticipate the argument before it is made, and again his discipline in the organization of his material allows him and has taught him to give argument for argument. He refutes the argument that lie is slow and in BRIEF time wins a place on the College basketball squad. In life he takes just as active a part as he takes in his College course. He makes speeches from the school house to the Senate; from the justice of the peace to judge in the Supreme Court; from school teaching to the presidency of the Union. He is the representative from the County, the Senator from the district, and the Governor of the State. He is the greatest lawyer, the most earnest advocate, the Ivy-day orator, and the autocrat of the pulpit. He is in evidence everywhere. Hearing of the great success of some man, we are ardently told that he was able to meet people, that since his High School career Tiro hH'ulrfil Hirer jj rajfas? == it was noticeably greater than before. Was it attributable to his Greek? Yes. but only in the relation of Greek meet Greek, which he acquired in “give and take” debates. Having said so much in behalf of the debater’s prowess, in seriousness it should be said that this greatness does not come from the little training received in the debating class; however, this in many instances develops a germ that otherwise might remain latent. It may be that only those who arc exceptionally bright have the temerity to enter this contest for blood; however, be this as it may, Peru is proud of the names of her illustrious debaters whose praises we hear sung continually. Strangers soon learn the names of Cline, Moore, Gates, Stoddard. Anderson, Hanna, Keith, Line, Winslow, Vernon, Wear, Kennedy, and many others whose frankness, cleverness, and success arc regarded as exemplary. Debaters are not born, they are cvolutioni .cd. It seems possible to develop into a fairly good speaker as a result of effort. The ability to reason well, and to analyze, are more remarkable in some than in others, to be sure, but the amount of practice given by these who are eminently leaders in the field is seldom known. The eminent examples of Demosthenes and Cicero as developed products, arc conspicuous. Webster, Clay and Philipps became great debaters only as a reward of wide reading, and constant practice. We arc told that Lincoln had an analytical mind, that lie sought the causes of all things, and was not satisfied with an idea until he was able to clothe it in proper words. This it is plain to see, was a developed characteristic. Persistency and originality were peculiar to him. but his power of expressisons, his comparisons and analogies were developed by constant practice. The two movements of the mind seem to be impression and expression. That many try to express what has never been impressed is certain, but the failure is inevitable. But we arc told by the psychologists that it is just as erroneous to have an impression without expressing it. In the field of forensics there is certainly a great opportunity for the expression of all impressions and one is only hindered by the fewness of his impressions. We are told that a fact is a fact, and that it is worth just as much if whispered as if yelled, that it isn’t noise but light that affects judges. Most debaters are fully aware that it is the lightning that docs the work and not the thunder; however, it is certainly false reasoning to think forcefulncss, excellence of diction, pleasantness of expression, ease and gracefulness of carriage arc not to the debater the “apparel that oft proclaims the man.” There arc a number of short-comings—getting prepared articles, giving quotations without credit, mis-quoting, etc. In the Pathfinder of January 17, there arc three advertisements which inform us that for a small sum of money outlines for debates can be obtained cither for the affirmative or the negative. The only one who would buy this cheap “stuff” is a fellow who need not worry over victories. It is true that the art of oratory is only the art of conversation raised to a high level and it is this latter art that debating seeks to cultivate in the attainment of the former. The man whose conversation is so dull and listless that he Two hundred four == jflj3|= himself is forced to yawn in the midst of it. has no more right to carry this style into his formal discourse than has the man whose speech is fustian-loaded and bombastic. Not all of us can become Emmets or Burkes or Websters—men, who, by their ebullient and soul-stirring orations could change the course of action of nations and the history of the world. Nor, indeed, will the voice of many of us ever be heard in the halls of congress pleading with a stubborn opposition against the iniquities of a protective tariff system; not many of us can ever hope to be a Reed, a Beveridge, or a Davis. Our criterion of what constitutes effective public speaking has radically changed in the past fifty years, as is evidenced in the type of speech found in the Congressional Records of these two respective periods. It is said that the speech of the Webster, “When my eye shall last behold.” would provoke a titter if delivered in the Senate today. Much has been said of physical presence and personal magnetism, voice and gesturing, but we have come now to believe that the person who can speak effectively is he who has for the foundation of his discourse, sound information, condensed and lucid, pure logic, and an interest in the subject at hand. These latter things—information, analysis and logic—the young debater gains. By meeting crowds time after time he develops an easy, graceful, and effective speaking attitude; with each debate his style becomes more simple, more direct and vivacious. When lie leaves College, he finds the formal debate a thing of the past, but as an educated citizen other forms of address arc demanded of him on numerous special occasions. As a result of his College debates, he is enabled to make his point and stop, rather than to bore his listeners with the prolix effusion that ordinarily characterises such speeches. In the business or professional world his conversation is forceful and convincing, and he soon develops that mysterious element that the world for want of a better term calls pcrsonalitv, and he takes his place among first rank citizens.

The lily leaves in Silent Water Adown the stream sailed peacefully; While in the marsh by Silent Water The cat-tails swayed in melody. The cattle near the Silent Water The trees along the Silent Water Lay drowisly beneath the trees; Were all bedight in summer’s hue; The aster heads by Silent Water And in an elm by Silent Water Were nodding blithely in the breeze.

Tico hundred six Slu' Nrltiiipaprr as a Community Jfnrrr A Junior Theme. The newspaper a community force? Decidedly, from the time it is rushed from the press, smelly with printer’s ink, half the items left out because they were “received too late for publication—full particulars next week,” till it goes to its last resting place on the pantry shelves, the newspaper is a force. Regardless of literary excellence or rhetorical power; as a record of community interests; by virtue of the extensive field it needs must cover; it is bound to be a force. To touch every line of activity, to lead in every move for civic improvement, to be foremost in every advance for social uplift, to guide and encourage the intellectual life of the community, in every way possible to promote the public welfare—this is the province of the community newspaper. The newspaper is a force then, from the standpoint of business, to be supported; politically, to be feared; morally, to be upheld; socially, to be courted; intellectually, to inspire; historically, to be preserved. IIow eagerly do we-scan the advertisements upon opening our newspaper! Not only do we wish to learn of the latest bargains, but as reading material we note the phrasing, the ingenuity of the composition. The gossip of business rivals invite interest in the local page. We sight the amount of space appropriated by the new hardware store, thereby gauging its standing in the business world. The amount of business enterprise in the community is reflected in the newspaper, through the offices of which many an advertising scheme is originated. If business is dull, we seek out the editor and put it to him to devise some means for starting things. Advertising pays—it is up to the editor to make it pay. We leave all details to the editor. Business is dull, not because of the war in Europe, or failure of crops, or stringency in the money market, but because we lack a good, live editor, such as they have in our neighboring County, who concocts wonderful schemes of voting contests for the most popular young lady, a grand bargain dollar day, a grab sale, or the giving away of a piano. In the world of politics, we feel keenly the force of the newspaper. Here, assuredly, we do not know our own minds until we know what is the newspaper’s. Do we wish to run for political office? Better sound the editor first, there’s simply no use entering the race without the support of the paper. It takes a man of principle to run a newspaper during a campaign, to stand by his convictions, fair, impervious to temptation of personal advantage. If we can enlist the services of the editor, we have a powerful aid in our campaign for civic improvement. Do we need better roads? Get the newspaper interested. Do we need a new town hall? Whisper it to the editor. To be sure, he never ceases afterwards to remind us of it, alluding on all possible occasions, to the “edifice of which we feel justly proud, having been largely instrumental in its erection.” But the fact remains that the newspaper IS largely instrumental in every public enterprise, discovering the need of it, encouraging the possibility of securing it. devising ways and means towards attaining it. Two hundred seven The newspaper plays a large part in shaping the morals of a community. For instance, what a powerful ally against the liquor evil. The paper that comes out boldly on the right side of this great isssuc is wielding a mighty power for good. For there is no question of its influence here; every stroke is hound to tell. It reaches the mass of the people, gets talked about, thought about; it is a foe at which its evil antagonist has no means of striking back. A newspaper that takes a high moral standard, will be supported. It may be weak, inefficient, but the community demands that it must possess a fair standard of morals. Ready to lend aid to charity and religious enterprises, eager to promote educational advancement, anything that points toward higher living and purer thinking—this must be the moral outlook of the paper. A spirit of neighborliness pervades the local page. We are all a large family, feeling a keen interest in what seems trivial enough to the outsider. We want to know when John Jones went to a rival town, when young Brown took his first ride in his new buggy. We want to know when it is time to do our fall plowing, and when it is time to put on our winter flannels. So-and-so is sick and we fly to visit him. A poor family has moved into the neighborhood. We hasten to their relief. A lecturer is coming to town. We depend upon the newspaper for a statement as to his ability. It is the newspaper that stimulates the movement for the Chautauqua and the lecture course, whatever of entertainment comes within our range; and it is the newspaper that is scathing in its criticism, if the expected treat does not fulfill its promises. Then the Society Column is such a delight. Those satisfying write-ups that mark us as people of social prominence, who know how to entertain in the most approved fashion. If our names appear within this column, then truly, we are within the pale. I recall a most humorous account, not the fault of the newspaper, I believe, but reflecting the attitude of the community towards a trying social situation. A young man had been most faithful in doing janitor work for the Sunday school, ringing the bell and building the fires, quite gratuitously, in the schoolhousc where the services were held. The people whom lie had thus benefited, sought to show their appreciation by holding a sort of reception for him. The plans were extensive; there was some decorating; a bounteous supper was arranged for; and as a crowning feature, they were going to present the young man with a chair. The write-up was duly appreciative. Each detail was dwelt upon, even to the presentation of the “small token of our gratitude, accompanied by the good wishes of the entire community;” and then, quite at the end of the description, and seemingly not having affected the program in the slightest, came the sentence, “The only feature to mar the evening’s pleasure was the guest of honor having failed to appear!” No comment seemed necessary. The newspaper simply pictured the situation exactly as it had occurred, and in fancy, I can hear the chuckle of the editor as lie wrote it. Exceedingly critical are we of the construction, grammar, or spelling of our newspaper. We expect it to be a model of correctness, to possess a certain Two hundred eight literary style, as indeed it should. Into how many homes docs it enter as absolutely the only reading matter, excepting of course the Bible, and possibly a hymn book, catechism, and almanac. Particularly is this true among foreigners. Some of us who live in neighboring localities, and who have the ability, contribute the news of our districts, under suitable titles; as Balm of Gilead, Stoddard Lectures, and the like. When news is scarce, we lill in with bits of our own composition, sometimes in appropriate verse. Thus the paper offers a field for our literary aspirations. Through the editorial column there is a splendid opportunity for intellectual infiuencc. Writing upon whatever topics are at the moment of peculiar interest to the community, or calling attention to the happenings of the world at large, there is a wonderful chance for direction thought along right channels. Still one more division remains, one that endears itself to the hearts of the older subscribers who live largely in retrospect, and that is “The Twenty-five Years Ago” column. There is an immense amount of satisfaction in re-reading the events of a quarter century ago, to those who have watched the passage of time from the same viewpoint; and the old people by the fireside sit in reverie after its perusal, and chat happily of by-gone days. So—the newspaper a community force? It is a part of our lives. It announces our arrival into this world; watches our career through school, puts our names on the honor roll, follows us through College, eager to herald our first triumphs; anxious to extol the worth of our “fellow townsman if we do aught of merit; proud of our successes; sorrowing in our griefs; marries us—in conventional black though it be, and faithfully cataloging the list of impossible, well-meant contributions as “beautiful and useful presents;” buries us, writing an obituary in our memory that forgets our mistakes and remembers only our virtues. Then let us consider the immensity of the newspaper’s undertaking, and be chary of our criticism, lend it our support; give something of the encouragement and help to its author that he has given to us—the community. LULU WERNER, ’15. liar In company with a group of Sisters of Mercy, two Red Cross nurses and a field surgeon, I started forward into the lines to give what assistance I might, and to see what war was like. Although we were delayed some eight hours in reaching the scene of our gruesome labors, the smoke of battle yet hung uncertainly above the doomed and wretched city much as a vulture hovers over its carrion feast—gloating and wondering if there is not more to be devoured. A steam of mist arose from the place, and, commingled with the heavy, sickly, copper-colored smoke, which we knew to be produced by human flesh consumed by the gluttinous demon fire, hung suspended like a pall over all. What on the yesterday was the abode of thousands was that day but a mean shelter for the maimed and broken bodies of those who had sacrificed their strength and lives to the great god War. These had been carried to the Two hundred nine only place that afforded even a meager protection from the sun and wind, the cracked and mutilated walls of a once magnificent cathedral, whose beauty of architecture had been heralded all over the world. Upon nearing this improvised hospital our hearts were sickened by the cries and moans of the suffering wretches, and on approaching still nearer, our nostrils caught the nauseating stench of warm blood. For the first time I felt the horrible reality of carnage and death. My heart stood still at the ghastly sight. Hundreds of dead and wounded lay there—the stone floor their only cot, oftimes their heads pillowed on a dead comrade’s breast. Their eyes were for the most part closed, as if to shut out the horror of the scene. There were many who slept the never-waking sleep, and as I looked I wondered if there had been regrets at the going. Others, who might in time recover sufficiently to be removed, would never see the place that had sheltered them, nor the faces of those who had kept the awful vigil with them. Their sight had been shot away by flying fragments of shells. One poor wretch lying there, disemboweled, acually smiled up at us as we worked over him. With every movement was heard the crunching of bones or the death gasp of some poor mortal as his soul took its departure to another world. We saw arms torn from shoulders, the splintered ends of bones protruding from blood-stiffened garments, and there was pain, pain everywhere. _ The very stones on which they lay were like those of a slaughter floor, yet lacking the drainage these places afford. Only by exercising great caution were we able to keep our footing on the slimy, oozy, blood-covered surface. As I bent over a hurt and gasping fellow to moisten his lips for the last time, I was arrested by a statute in a niche just above. What a mockery was this! There was the Christ, His hands extended in benediction, and had He been able to speak surely His words would have been, “Peace on earth and good will toward men!” No wonder the lineaments of grief are so deeply furrowed in the face of Christ, and in this statue so tragically life-like, they seemed doubly so. On the day following three long, open trenches were seen. When night’s somber curtains pityingly closed over the scene, numberless grim and silent processions wended thither. Complying with military regulations “for convenience in handling, bodies shall be corded into packs of four”—all that was mortal of those poor wretches from the cathedral back there was dumped into these places the whole of it was strewn with quicklime and dirt thrown on. They did not live to receive one of the various crosses given for bravery in battle, yet I do not doubt but that their rewards will come from that King of Kings into whose court they found entrance. These awards arc given after imperial recognition. Who will recognize the monarchs and parliaments who had the power to avert this war, and what will be meted out to them? GAYNELLE R. FAY.

He was a woman hater, born, Of all fine fancies he was shorn; No woman vet, he’d ever seen Who’d look at him—he was so mean. His one grand theme was of their stealth, How they could filch from man his wealth, When in the wee sma’ hours of night He’d with the demon rarebits fight. His married friends had told him o’er If he’d be happy, think no more Upon the luckless subject, love; For if lie did, no more the dove Of happiness and peace divine, Would hover ’round his tree and vine. He listened and took heed once more, But as I’ve often said before— You can’t control the band of life, But only keep step with the fife. He moved about—though very stupid, Until one day lie met young Cupid Out foraging, on mischief bent, Into man’s heart an arrow sent. As usual, true unto its aim, Another to the maiden came; Both hearts were pierced—they none can blame; They had not made resistance bold, In spite of all their friends had told. These two now sit before their fire, And he calls every man a liar; He wants to give that one a slug, Who says that marriage is a drug. She speaks no more of worthless trash, But calmly mixes up the hash, And wonders how she lived so long Without the glory of his song. Now if you'll do a kindly deed, Of these last words take careful heed; You who arc thus unhappily yoked, Our deepest pity have invoked. But, for the sake of future clans, Don't form yourselves in fireproof bands, And prate aboyt love's luckless fate— It’s just the sour grapes you ate!

They have missed the silver lining That behind each cloud is shining; They have failed to find the diamonds That lie sparkling in the slate. But continually they’re growling, Ever keeping up their howling— They shall one day sec their error, When alas! 'twill be too late. With their sins all unamended, When their journey here is ended, They will meet Saint Peter grumbling, And their records they will tell.

(iiltp fHitntjis The mumps, one of the first and most dependable harbingers of the joyous springtime, is a peculiar affection of the parotid and other salivary glands, which gives to the facial contour of the victim the appearance of an over-inflated toy baloon. When a mump epidemic gets loose in a community the soup-bone and the boullion cube vie with each other as article of popular diet, and the merchant orders crackers by the car-load lot. The efficacy of the sour pickle as a tester makes this ordinarily rejected dainty very much in demand. The peculiar feature of the mumps is, that while other diseases beget the sympathy of one’s neighbors, this malady appeals only to his sense of humor; and the victim, isolated like the leper of olden days, is given his own time in which to recover. In this state of solitude his only solace consists in applying heated towels to the area of high pressure. Then again, the contagion of this disease is rather mysterious. Hypochondriac people have been known to wilfully absent themselves from the weekly meeting of the Commercial Club, or from the Sunday evening services thru fear of the disease germs, only to catch the ailment from the sneeze of a kind passerby—with no charges. The disease was at first christened “Cvnanchc parotitis,” but the pronunciation of the name invariably proved fatal to the patient. Thereupon, the medical men out of respect to the sweet nature and benign aspect of the victim, shortened the name to the good, old, vernacular “mumps.” E. E. ERICSON. Two hundred fourteen EPTEMBER It is our purpose in this short sketch to give our readers a history, profusely and authentically illustrated, of the college career of Guiliclnius Granby, an only son and the pride of his parents. Having finished the High School in Poscyville, he emerged from his mothers wing. and. polishing up his rubber collar, lie packed his suitcase, and after an uneventful ride of a few hours duration, landed in Peru. The Y. M. C. A. committee, dear old hustlers, were there to meet him and in a few hours he was safely lodged in the Cannon House. Here he met the boys. When he said anything lie was careful that it was apropos, and when he had nothing to say the silence of ignorance was mistaken for wisdom. And so lie soon gained pals, even among the big letter men. Boy friends were easy to get, but how to make the acquaintance of the three hundred girls, or even know them by sight, that was the proposition. Soon, however, he was self-elected to the receiving line on the rod fence near the fountain and his inquisitive “Who's she?” soon got him acquainted with the ladies, heroine and amazon, of the school. Later, at the “get-acquainted” reception. he was very much in evidence, and thereafter tipped his hat to every lady he met, acting on the supposition that he had met her at the reception. True, he did greet a laundry woman and the portly wife of a farmer, mistaking them for dowager-looking Specials, but in a society as democratic as ours what boots it? Two hundred fifteen All m1 i x. - CTOBER WYVK2 mi Vv53 v vk' m Guilly had never seen a real football game. In Poseyville they had no athletics worthy of the name, and altho he was proficient as could be in pull-a-way, red-line, and crack-the-whip, his knowledge of good scientific athletics was very meager indeed. But Guiliehnus had beef and bone in his favor and it did not require a great deal of coaxing on the part of his newly-found friends to get him to register as one of the football recruits. The first night the coach pointed to the half-back-on the opposite line and said, ‘That's your man— now when the rush conies you down him.” Poor Guilly was used to taking people at their word, so in the charge he secured a half nelson and a scissors hold and downed his man. In this and other ways Guillv's ignorance often came to the surface, but when the laugh was on him he took it good-naturedly and thus became a favorite of the whole squad. Ilis interest in football did not stop with practice on the athletic field, but he even insisted on lining up his pals at the boarding house and learning new tricks from the lettered men. Then, oh, joy! On the sixteenth he substituted for a man in the Kearney game and made a gain of twenty yards. And this, with Popper and Monuner Granby in the grandstand! After that he played regular and was a man who could always be depended upon. Tico hint (I red sixteen OVEMBER WWW m.VY'. wym mmmm jjwyvw l'lic day came for the awarding of the P’s. Thus far in Guilly’s life there had been four great events—his first tooth, his learning to swim, his first pair of long trousers, and graduation from High School. Put the ccstacy of this new event was above and beyond them all. When the coach called. “Guilielmus Granby! and he stepped forward to receive the long-desired reward, and the students cheered him. a thrill went thru his whole body. And, of course. Mommer Granby was also the recipient of a big letter the next day, but of a different kind. Thereafter Guilly became a favorite of the ladies. Now with many boys of less stability this would have been their undoing. Put not so with Guilielmus. lie was. we are forced to admit, just a little bashful, but then, too, he was as anxious to get all Y G’s and I'.’s the first quarter as he had been to make the football squad. However, he found it quite difficult to keep out of the way of those who desired him as a steady. For, believe uie, when boys are one to six they are much in demand and a football hero is at a high premium, indeed. So, much to Guilly‘s discomfort, a denizen of the Dormitory lurked in every hiding place, eager to seize upon the coveted hero. Our picture shows us one of these hair-breadth escapes. Two hundred seven teen ECEMBER wwnn—m wyvre wym Well, Guilly made good the first quarter— every grade he sent home was VG or I '. Blit, like all of us, he began to think that he could get there the other three-quarters on his reputation. He began to sluff outside of class and to bluff inside the class room. He became a lounger in the lobbies and cloak room or a sight-seer out on the campus. Many were the snowball fights in which lie participated. He now became less afraid of the Dormitory amazons and spent many moments indulging in winter sports with them that should have been used in perusing Genetic Psychology. When the weather got too cold for this he determined to have his fun in the library. So he whispered to his neighbors; there was much sociability of which he was the center. The bell tapped but this only urged him on to greater efforts in this line. Then he became a ventriloquist so that the patrons of the library heard everywhere the voice of kittens or lap-dogs, much to their amusement, and to the discomfiture of the librarian. At last the latter called Guilly to her room and after a severe lecture, put him on probation. Now indeed lie was treading on thin ice, but Guilly was not to be thus deprived of his liberty. So one Thursday afternoon he kept open house six feet from the librarian’s table. Then she grew wroth and exiled him. with the proviso that he might come back when he would promise to behave himself. And, of course, with such a nature as Guilly’s, this was banishment for life. Tiro hundred ciyhtccn U A R Y Down at the Cannon Mouse the boys got to tasting of forbidden fruit in the shape of an occasional game of seven-up. enriching the vocabulary with a few choice cuss-words, and frequently surrendering to the pernicious weed. Every letter Momnicr Granby wrote she expressed the hope that “her Guilly would not fall into evil ways, but shun them as he would a pizen adder.” In addition, the teacher of School Administration, spoke in caustic terms of teachers who had bad habits. So, on New Year’s day Guilly and his pal swore off. Our picture shows the last smoke. Back in Poscyville debates had been restricted to those little farces in the Friday afternoon literary society where the respective merits of the horse and cow, and other kindred topics, were discussed. Of logic Guilly knew little, of correct forms of speaking, less, but a semester’s course in Argumentation did much to knock off the rough spots. Tradition tells of Demosthenes’ speaking with his mouth full of pebbles in order to overcome stuttering, and of Hcnrv Clay’s addressing his senate of chickens and ducks. Our Guilly had some such struggle. He was big and awkward; his hands were not unlike small hams, and what to do with them, how to appear natural and unafflicted was ever his problem. Our picture shows how in nature’s solitude he sought to develop his oratorical art. Two hundred nineteen EBRUARY wym WYVV2 wyvtz niWYm The hills of old Peru have been an inspiration to many a poet, local and otherwise. All this poetry has sounded forth the praises of those grand old hills, has apostrophized the brooklets that purl merrily as they glide thru the meadows, and has eulogized the venerable oaks that clothe the hills in majesty—but none of it has described the sensation given the native by having the small of his back come suddenly into contact with the cement walk of Standley Hill on a slippery December day. Such an experience as we have related above made Guilielmus take rather a prosaic view of the hills of old Peru. He was coming down Abbott Hill one day when lie started to fall. He should have fallen and have done with it. but instead, he tried to catch himself and by his exertions gained such momentum that when he did come down it was with a force that jarred his friends in Hindustan. 'I'he net losses were a wrenched knee, a sprained ankle, and four broken finger-nails. The Glee Club trip in February was another of the big features of the school year. From the first Guilly was extremely solicitous to have Poscyvillc included in the itinerary, in order that he might show the “old ’uns.” You have had that same desire, have you not? Well, they did make Posey-ville, and there was no happier man in the whole U. S. A. than Guilielmus, when the Poseyvillians encored his base solo three times. Tiro hundred twenty :A:R:C:H wwy? wvm vifoaip im ip mk8 ctfS'V' ) V c V ta myra rrm www Next came the Junior-Senior banquet. This is a great event and long-established custom demanded that every knight escort a lady to the banquet hall, or else be condemned to warm a chair in the ignominious stag-row. In desperation Guilielnius resorted to the bill-board but to no avail. Then, happy solution! A bold brigand of the Dormitory proferred her company and it was gladly accepted, you may be sure. The lady now being secured, the next question was how to behave and how to feel comfortable in her presence. Imagine, then, the joy that came to our friend when in hunting thru the card index in the library lie ran across a book entitled, “How to Behave in Polite Society.” With what diligence did he apply himself to the contents of the volume! With what eagerness did he learn to distinguish the salad fork from the table fork and to keep from stirring his coffee with the soup spoon! But a course of two weeks gave him all the data necessary and he now felt confident that he could take his place among The Elite! All the afternoon was spent in preparing for the banquet. He washed his hair until he could do nothing with it. his feet (I was about to say ‘until he could do nothing with them’), shaved, massaged, “unt so wcitcr.” The hours at the banquet were a success. True, he did, in attempting to cut a dill pickle with his fork, shoot a stream of water into the eye of his neighbor across the table, but no offense was meant and certainly none was taken. He used the right fork at the right time, applauded the speeches at the psychological moment, and did the things a banqueter should do. Ttco hundred ttcentyo c PRIL wwra mmsmss wym WWV2 Easter vacation Guiliclmus went home. It was great sport to meet the natives of Poscyvillc and give them the glad hand when his name had been brought before public notice so many times by means of the Poseyville Clarion. 'This enterprising periodical contained that week the following item: “Guiliclmus Granby came from Peru State Normal last Monday for a week’s visit with his parents, our esteemed towns-peoplc, Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Granby. Guilly has had a remarkable career in Peru, being a leader in almost every one of the school activities. We predict for him great success in his chosen profession of teaching.” Now wouldn’t that have made you feel proud? But it didn’t affect Guilly in that way. In fact, he was planting potatoes in the old patch when his father handed him the Clarion and lie read it and went right back to work. However, democratic were (iuilly’s tastes in Posey ville, lie was anxious to get back to Peru again and, except for the parting with Popper and Monuner, boarded the train for Peru with little regrets. As the train went on its way more of the old bunch arrived and ere long he was in the old Peru environment once more and happy at the prospect of returning to the old life. Two hundred twenty-two : A : V Guilielnius had what is termed a “steady” after the banquet, as that friendship did not end there. In May, Guilly’s fancy turned lightly to etc. Everywhere he and Evangelina were seen together. He registered for Domestic Science and she for Manual Training the last quarter, in order to have two hours of being together. By skillful diplomacy V Guilly had tin: registrar change his chapel seat so that he could talk with her in chapel. Our picture shows them with Guilly minus (?) one arm and Evangelina reading to him from “Barriers Burned Away,” by E. P. Rowe. One day in May Guilielnius got two letters. One was from the secretary of the Board of Education at Joncsbcrg, offering him the principalship of the schools. The other was from Ma Granby, enclosing a ten dollar check and asking her darling to come home for the summer. It is hard to tell which letter gave Guilielnius the greater joy. We have given you in our own way an account of the life of Guilielnius in his school year. We wish we could accompany him to Joncsberg to watch his work there.

I’ll give away my wealth untold and live in peace my days.” Alas! for toper, magnate, scold—as such they passed away. Their souls to Satan each one sold because he missed today.

I stay in bed a day or two until at last 1 say, “Adieu, dear doctor, to your methods slow. Just watch my smoke,” say I. and so to mother's cabinet I waltz, and take a pint of epsom salts, crawl under quilts and sweat it out; and in an hour I am about the streets again and feel as good as any human being could. So then I go and sec M. D.; pull out my roll and pay the fee; and thus I lecture to the doc, “You scare to death the whole blamed flock of patients whom you should cheer up and help to sweeten sorrow's cup. Oh, throw your drugs and knives, do what you can to gladden lives. It beats the quinine you may give and the sick will then more likclv live. PERCY DAGG GONNITT.

GOOD Two hundred fifty-five What was the matter with a couple of post-graduates who got left at Falls City on the day of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Concert? FALSITY (In memory of a lost illusion.) I fell in love one summer’s eve With an elfin maid named Genevieve; I vowed that I’d be true. (For how should such a fellow as I Know that the dear had one glass eye, And her hips were far from true? That her hair was bought and her pearly teeth Were false—'twas far beyond belief!) So I stuck to her like glue. But I called upon her unawares; And found the bulk of her on two chairs. The rest—it had skidooed. I looked on the wreck and shook my head, Examined each piece and sadly said, “Gcnny, you arc tabooed; Many a time you’ve cooed to me, And promised ever true to be; Rut you’re false as ever I’ve wooed.” PERCY DAC,G GONNIT.

IOWA Tim hundred fit Till-fire Nauapaj.n’r CEmmmntt We feel that it will interest our readers to know how the home folks feel in regard to honors showered upon their Alumni who have become Peruvians, hence we have clipped at random from several State papers, items which have to with some of the successes scored by students here: The Times is in receipt of a letter from Frank Ilosic, who is attending school at Peru. As our readers already know, Frank has been the bulwark of the ’varsity football team the past two years, but this year was unable to play on account of an injury to his arm. Recently a signal honor has come to Frank in his appointment to Corporai of the Cadet Company. We congratulate Frank on his success.—Tecumseh Times. __________ Newspaper accounts recently report the success in a musical way of Clyde Lecce, a local boy, now a Junior in Peru State Normal. North Bend people were always aware of the excellence of Clyde’s voice, but down at Peru lie has come into his own. His most recent success was his rendition of the second tenor part in “Kathleen Mavournecn,” in an entertainment at Peru. The quartet, of which Clyde is a member, was repeatedly encored and we feel certain that the superiority and exquisiteness of his voice was in large measure responsible for the success of the quartet.—North Bend Enterprise. It is not often that we can record such success as recently came to Merritt Chaffee, a student in the Peru State Normal. Acknowledging his experience in practical electricity, he was last month chosen electrician on the Glee Club trip, and, greater than this, in recognition of his integrity and business ability, he bas been recently elected treasurer of the Philomathcan Literary Society. Go it, Merritt, the Clarion is with you!—Alliance Clarion. The Outburst always welcomes news of any of the Alumni of the Panama High School, and this week we have an item that will fill the hearts of Outburst readers with joy and civic pride. Frank Tilton, now a student in Peru Teachers’ College, will be remembered for his part of “Sambo” in “The Romance of the Pickle-Factory,” our home talent play given several years ago. It seems that Dame Rumor had spread his fame as an actor abroad, for almost immediately on his arrival in Peru lie was elected to its strongest organization, the Dramatic Club. Later on he was further honored by being appointed property manager of the Dramatic Club play, which position lie filled with great credit. The next thing. Outburst readers will be hearing of Frank's elevation to a fellowship on the Faculty. Panama is proud, and justly so, of her Peru triumvirate: Long, Harrison and Tilton, and the Outburst begs to suggest a reception in honor of these three on their next home-coming out of respect to the unprecedented honors they have brought to our city.—Panama Outburst.
