In fact, it had the largest enrollment of any Junior ( lass in the historv of the school. I he number dwindled somewhat at the beginning of the second semester as a number left school and others enrolled in otlur classes. In spite of this, the class still contains the greatest number ot members. Karlv in the term a business meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing vear. At this time Mr. Sidney Johnson Irom Stanton was elected president; Miss Amelia Chard, vice-] resident: Miss Mary l.oyd. seeretarv: Mr. Charles Spacht, treasurer; Mr. Harold Chatelain. chorister: Miss Ruth Redfern. pianist: and Mr. Kltner Wilson, sergeant-at-arms. I he duties of these officers were carried out in the most efficient manner during the adminis- tration. As soon as the academic work for the year was fairly begun and convenient time was found for it. the girls of the class entertained the boys at a get pop aimed’ party given in the gymnasium. It was at this event that the gh Is showed themselves to he live and loyal class members. I rom tha time the members of the class were well represented in other school activities, such a :• tball, basket-ball, baseball, debating, and in the various musical and literary ’ires. Each member «lid his best in the performance o! the work connected with these various activities. The present Junior Class has very bright prospects in store for them for their Senior year. It is to be their privilege to dedicate and to be the first class to use the new Model School building, which is in the course of construction at the present time. Moreover, it is this class that is to participate in the semi- centennial festivities in commemoration of the establishment of Hern Normal.

Nebraska is well represented in the Hern High School. m of its seventy- five pupils, a number come from neighboring counties, and several others from the northern and western parts of the state. I nder the careful supervision of Miss Anna Tibbets. the principal of the High School, both grades have made rapid progress in all lines of work. The pupils have found Miss Tibbets at all times a kind and sympathetic friend. A great degree of enthusiasm has been carried into all the activities of the High School, both in the class room and out. Not only arc the classes much alive, but they have proved also to he very aide. A varietv of individual talent lias been displayed at the frequent social events. Novel and interesting pro- grams have been given at tile class chapel exercises throughout the ear. Nowhere have a finer artistic sense and an ahilitv to entertain been more evident than at the annual party given in honor of the Senior High School teachers. The unique character of this entertainment may well lead one to look forward with curiosity and expectancy to the time when these same pupils will be entertaining the Normal Seniors. v Our hiimin'd fourteen PERUVIAN 1916 Itiidci' Vann Kupai‘s Mi-Kcnnv Yaneo rnriiuf r Majors NINTH HI4AIU-: ; mini i; i 111 l:i lu l I.ohrnoin Kotlus !reen Smvii ISejdfcrn 11 ayes 1 vers Gilliland Iluoy irtijlr rluml Kni Is I YO|j|o|f rowoll Gilborl r.isiiop Kowill K!lis NINTH GIJ AI� I: ( omshM-k l.amloll Kelly I lo|| ler oli House 1'rcssler Kol� |i r IJIsliop l� uiT I ';iscn l.« vi 1916 PERUVIAN Owe Innui ml fifteen tkntii «; i; a i � 1: Hamilton I'olr risiu Clifton Adams iril� l� l« Corlr.v I'aulkinT rimsi Ilin-k.T ToiiUlf Chtii I ’ 1« N f| I Mlllrjili llri'-IMMU InUI? § riuml M« Aul« v Shamir Ovoplmli I.imd-dt Si ill Vsuu «r .li� n« s Aljirk|n sirijff TKNTII ;IK I K Ilnvwuorl Kirlnmlsim Kelso I ’;ll lorsotl Mill’d is 11 :i « :l 11 |t'I’m 11 Our hmifln 1 si.yh t n PERUVIAN 1916 Book III Atlflrttra 191G PERUVIAN Dm hmiih ctl st rt n «• n r.Aiu.

It is a delicate task one assumes when one endeavors to delineate on the various literal pursuits of an institution stielt as ours. I sat delicate because the various brandies of this department are all so broad and many sided that a volume would searee do them justice, to say nothing of the few indies delegated me for this purpose. Fortunately. I am oiilt to write on one specific out- growth of our literary activity-debating. Debating stands a potent represen- tative of the aims and ideals that form the basic principles of any school. It battles provincialism and develops logical and coherent thinking. It stimulates the participators' interest in present-day agitations, since these topics are popu- larly chosen as suitable |Ucstions of debate. The development of certain facul- ties plus the enlightenment and discipline acquired b mental and moral train ing are sure to follow ill the wake of the preparation ami rendition „f a series oArguments.

Kverv evening for a whole week, Peruvians gathered in the a--rml l room to indulge in the intellectual feast theie spread for them h iImm- who -tr«� ve f« u places on the debating team. As may well he inferred, much -prculati« m and excitement pervaded the peaceful atmosphere about Peru's old lull-. finally, the decisions were read and from the total number of tliiru competitors eight were chosen bv the judges, from that time till the debate- were held, I. ( i. Wilson, the librarians, and the debaters themselves, left no means untouched whereby information relative to the question could be secured. I heir efforts were tireless and the dogged determination they displayed drew widespread comment. Their minds, hearts, and eyes were turned toward the seventh day of April, the dav when lliev should clash with the Kearmw speakers. With due preliminaries, this dav was ushered forth. Perils chances were generally conceded to be at an advance, blit yet there was an element of uncertainty that lent charm to the issue. Modestv prevents our expressing the true sentiment about the whole affair. Put the facts speak for themselves. In the lirst place, if one topped to analyze the tremendous displav of interest and enthusiasm shown by all Peruvians for this event, one could rcadilv conceive of it as a tribute to the intellectual pur- suits of our institution. The presiding officer o! the evening announced the question. “Resolved. That a Policy of Preparedness for War !s I K-irable for the I nited States. and then proceeded to introduce the various speakers of the evening Xune of us claim the distinction of inspired prophet-, but. neverthe- less, ve foretold the judges decision as ours utiaiuniouslv. I lie accuracy of our prediction was reinforced bv just such a decision and about fifteen minutes later, a hit of similar news was flashed across the wires trout Kearney. The general, who, from a distant place with anxious eyes watche- the care- full v planned maneuvering of his army, is the life and success oi his forces. So Coach W ilson of the winning teams of Pine and White, had imbued his little class with vitality, strength, and determination, in such unbounded quantities that defeat was never anticipated even from the beginning. Wils.m and Peru are for preparedness—of the right kind.

The membership was not large in the early days and for that reason a room no larger than the one used as a recitation room for the b � tan depart- ment accommodated the society. Philo was originaliv a debating society pure and simple. I here was so much interest shown in the impromptu debates that it became necessary to limit the time of speaking to ten minutes. Interesting papers were read, but we are told that instead of electric lights, oil lamps lighted the ball, making it necessary for one person to hold the lamp while another read the paper. The Inst musical instrument was a mclodeon. loaned to the society by Professor and Mrs. McKenzie. Time lias witnessed wonderful changes in the development | the school, and Philo has kept pace. Members of the society were desirous � ! having a permanent home for the society, so they persuaded President ( rabtree l � give them the room known now as Philo Hall.

Instead of a mclodeon we now have a good eight piece orchestra, whose carefully rehearsed selections add much to the merit of the programs. The Knglish department has taken care of the debating with such efficiency that there is little need of it in the societies, file programs of the last few years have therefore emphasized other aspects of literature: and there is a growing tendency to present literary numbers of a somewhat serious character. 1Innnh t il sijttff-fQUr PERUVIAN 1916 MiTirr.i: first sfmfstfr I ii i‘lci'11 IthuikiMiship Pallam riovi‘1 «'ti:ii I Rslsimi Svahury Mclniyiv turn'll I � 11 vis luird OKFJCKKN SKro.Mt SMMKSTRH Thomas Dallam Uiirkrit Sti |� ln‘IlSOU Will'll trl 1916 PERUVIAN Onr hmith t if si.rfu fire iEum'tt furiet if Manv people of ii la an- beginning lvnli e iliai a c«d lege educati 11 should In comprised «� i 111 • r than ati under standing of stil jc-c t mailer.

Dr. John Fletcher Xeal came to Fern in 1859. and was one of the founders of the little Methodist school which later became the State Xormal School. lie has given generously of his land and money, that the Institution might progress. Fecause of his activities in thus promoting the welfare of the school, he was appointed a member of the first Foard of Kducation. He was a physician for nearly fifty years, and enjoyed a very extensive practice throughout neighboring states. As a citizen, lie was public-spirited, high-minded, and vcr generous to all movements of civic advancement. F.ver modest and retiring, lie did nothing for self-aggrandizement, and was never osteiitioiis in well-doing Xo one could converse with him without feeling the wonderful influence of his remarkable personality. Xo one could know him and not respect him. He was a consistent Christian, and his death came as a benediction to liis long, useful life. “.Nothing in his life Fecanie him like the leaving it: he died.

Accordingly, a meeting was called for the purpose of discussing ways and means to this end. As a result of this meeting, they were able to secure the location of a Methodist College here. Kleven thousand dollars of the thirteen thousand was used in erecting a building on a sixty-acre field, which was donated for that purpose. The trustees of the school later succeeded in getting the legislature to per- mit the incorporation of the institution as a Seminary College, but the Metho- dist Conference refused to recognize it as anything higher than an cadeiny. At the first meeting of the State Legislature, in Omaha in 1S67. Mr. R. J. Majors and Win. Daily, legislators from Peru Precinct, offered the College to the State for a Xornial School. The offer was accepted and a small appropria- tion of three thousand dollars was made for the use of the new Xornial. This sum was used to furnish seats and other equipment for the school, which stood where the Dormitory now stands. The Trainers Pudding was erected several vears later. In 1885 the first structure was destroyed by fire, and the next vear the present Dormitory was built. ( ther halls of learning have been added, as necessity and progress de- manded. until at present there are seven large, uell-eipiipped buildings on the campus. In the autumn of 1867, the first term of the Peru State Normal began, with Professor McKenzie and his wife as the first Faculty. The first graduates were (icorgc K. I Inward. Professor of Knglish at the State I’niversity. and Mrs. |ov of Seattle. The Facility today number forty-four and the graduating class two hun- dred, which is evidence of the rapid progress of the school. 1916 PERUVIAN Out huiniri 1 ufm tu THE PERU NORMALITE vor. x ri I'I Nl 1:1' W, M’i'H.

Some of the greatest movements toward the progress of social life are originated by quiet, unassuming citizens, whose names are not lauded by the world, bnt whose influence is none the less tar-reaching. Inspired by a desire to make life as pleasant as possible for the sick stu- dent. and to provide him with the care necessary to his recovery. Miss Kllis, Dean of Women, decided upon a plan which she thought might be worked out in Peru, whereby a Normal Hospital could be maintained. I be need for such an institution had long been evident, and when the plan was submitted to the Faculty and the students, it was heartily endorsed A committee consisting of Miss Kllis. Miss Iiowen and'Prof. iregg was appointed to work out the details. They worked faithfnllv. and in a short time reported that Miss Kdith Shaw, now living j„ I-lori.la had consented to rent her furnished cottage, on the avenue, for the hospital. In addition to low- A (’Icasimt Internment (tut hitufJn •! him' ? four PERUVIAN 1916 cring the rent, she sent a donation. The students agreed to assess themselves fifty cents per semester and summer term to help pay expenses. The plan was then submitted to the Normal Hoard for its consideration. The Board favored the issue, and voted to pay the rent of the cottage for a year. l ite problem of securing a trained nurse was a little more difficult to solve, because such a proposition requires that the nurse give all her time to the school and for a smaller salary than she can demand elsewhere. Miss Barklcv was finally secured for the position. She came at a reduced salary, but she was willing to do this in order to make it possible to introduce the infirmary into the school. Her act was one of pure philanthropy, for there was no personal gain except that satisfaction which comes through sacrifice for others. The whole community was interested and many useful contributions were made. Some of them were, a special rate on the nurse s board, groceries, hard- ware, meats, fruits, vegetables, linens, and beautiful blooming plants. A new committee was appointed at the beginning of the new semester. Those serving arc Miss Rose Clark, chairman: Prof. Beck, secretary-treasurer: Misses Tuthill. FJlis and Dick. Mr. Adee from the Post-Graduate class, and Miss Tclva Dressier from the Senior Glass. Through the efforts of this com- mittee everything was in readiness bv the middle of January. 1016. and the house-warming occurred January 24. Any student may be sent to the infirmary on the advice of a physician, and his only expense being the doctor’s bill and his own board. Miss Barkley has been busy ever since site came.

Nearly all the rooms were open during the evening, and were visited by admiring groups. It must be said of the young ladies of the llall that they succeeded excellently in their attempts at covering the bare walls, for on all sides wete arrayed, in patch work style, pictures of cverv variety. This being the first view, by some of the guests, of College girls' rooms, it was interesting to watch them become disillusioned as to the fabled, prison-like, dismal interior, and enlightened, smile with admiration for the daintv, bright and cheerful rooms ot the ninety-four girls of the big family.

I he gym was artistically decked in the glories of the fall season. The many guests were greeted by four of the hostesses very cordially and were then given to various girls t he entertained until the real fun should begin. A grand march marked the opening of the evening's amusement. This was followed by good old-fashioned games, contests, and the like—leaving no spare moment that was not provided for. From time to time telegrams were received from absent members of the football squad and other notables by their ladies fair.” Xot tile least of the evening's pleasures were the dainty refreshments, con- sisting of punch, wafers, and mints, which were served while the guests were resting after the romp. The Senior girls, in giving this party, led off in a round of social events which will become yearly affairs, we trust. It seems very inadequate to say that it was a great success; so will say that it was the GRFA11-S1 success of the year. turiTit tffallmur’nt The date for the Fverctt Hallowe'en frolic fell on just the right day. All the Everetts were in the best of spirits and the right party mood, as they had seen Peru win by a big score from Tarkio that atternoon. At 7:30. grostequely masked figures began to creep stealthily up the stairs leading to Everett Hall. The room was decorated with autumn leaves, huge yellow jack o lanterns, and black cats. Charlie C haplains, puritan maids, sailor boys, clowns, and various other people composed the gay company. Old fashioned games, such as ’’.Miller l oy. and I orman in the Dell, were played first. These were followed by the irginia Reel and various con- tests, which were very amusing. A fortune teller's tent occupied one corner of the room and attracted much attention. In this sat a real Gypsy who dealt out many strange and weird for- tunes. These were invisible till held over the flames of a candle. At 9:30 all unmasked and refreshments were served. At one side of the room was a eider- well and on a table nearby were heaps of golden brown doughnuts and rosy apples. The lights blinked and the tired revelers departed. Jmttm (Siris’ Jnfnrmal How glad I am that I came this evening.” Wasn't it perfectly lovely?” And didn't evervone seem to enjoy himself. Such were only a few of the 1 91G PERUVIAN One hundred ninety nine pleasing remarks heard among the young folk as they depart eel from the gymnasium on that night of November, 1915. It had been a rather stormy evening, but due appreciation of the Junior girls’ charms as entertainers was shown by the hearty response to the imita- tion. The guests and their hostesses numbered over three hundred. 'This— the second “mixer” given by the Normal girls during the first semester—was held in the gym: and instead of being confronted by the usual suggestiveness of a place for physical training, onr guests found themselves in a large, cozy room, beautified by simple, yet effective autumn decorations. The evening was made most enjoyable for all b games and contests in which the girls were in most instances victorious—a fact for which the bovs could not quite account. Another interesting feature was the occasional in- coming of reports from the wireless telegraph, operated by Professor llowie and his able assistant. Winifred Williams. It was only when the hour for “lights out” drew near that refreshments were served, after which the guests departed, proclaiming the Junior girls the most royal of entertainers. Here’s to the hostesses, worried all dav. And trembling lest everything go the wrong wav: I ’lit the grace of contentment possessed them at once. And each of the hostesses did the right stunt. ifmltr On February 18th the teachers of the Training School gave their annual reception to the Seniors.

This was repeated for each “dance.” There was not a dull moment during the entire evening The hat trim- ming contest was, perhaps, the best stunt, unless it ma be that “The Pro- posal’ outranked it. In the first of these events twelve young men were fur- nished with ladies’ hats and given material for trimming them. Five minutes hinulml PERUVIAN 19 16 were allowed for completing: the work, after which each young man placed his hat upon the head of a lady of his choice, and was given two minutes in which to give his reasons for his particular style of trimming and also why he chose the lady. The speeches were not altogether heart-breaking, but in some in- stances they were near side-bursting. Mr. Wolfe was awarded the prize. In “The Proposal several young ladies were directed to make proposals to a number of young men. and from the manner in which they went about it. there is no longer a doubt that they are fully prepared in this year of grace, 1916. I he young men voted that Miss llibler was entitled to the prize for being the most successful and ardent wooer. The singing of the national hymn of Siam, ) ha ta (inn Siam.” to the tune of America, was. to say the least, a howling success, 'fry it and be convinced. Delightful refreshments were served, after which all joined in the color song of the school, gave the school veils and fifteen rails for the training teachers, who demonstrated beyond any doubt that they arc royal entertainers. -Host time I ever had; -‘Wasn’t it fine:” Great and like expressions were heard on every side. Juntnr Annual Jtirntr Now is came to pass on the 25th September, the word having gone forth that everv loyal Junior, with cup and spoon, was to assemble before the chapel at the hour of 4:30. that the weather went sore against 11s and the legions of the god of rain were gathered together in battle. The “seventecners” fled from before the onslaughts of the downpour and set themselves in the midst of the gymnasium: and forthwith e er bod was merrv. And Brvan Rmmert, being clothed in a fine orange colored robe, was then in charge. Having consulted with our jolly, good adviser. Professor Howie, he said unto all the congregation of Juniors: If it seems good unto you, lets line up in two ranks. Let one rank pass before the other and let cvci one shake hands and make known his name.” Now this thing' was right in the eyes of all these meny people, so Pro- fessor. at the head of the east rank, marched to the west innk. and witli laugh- ter and jokes, and with handshakes, the Juniors got acquainted. And the ring-master perceived that this was over. I lien he said. None ought to forbear from entering into the game with true Junior zest. And Emmert and Professor Howie assembled the people into two circles and they all lifted up their voices with joy and played Lose Your Supper,” “Drop the Handkerchief,” Blind Mans Buff. Now� when an end was made to the playing of games, the people did as they were commanded and each hoy with three girls, for the number of girls was exceedingly great, passed before the festal hoard where certain of the company who had been appointed, dealt to every one of the Juniors, both men 1916 PERUVIAN Tiro hinnlrcil nn and women, to everv one, w ienie sandwiches. pickles, olive . llng«m � t rnlln , and bananas.

When the night really came the reason for all the hurrying and scurrying and putting of heads together was discovered. ld Kverett looked very line and festive with his Christmas decorations and seemed to grow young again with the girlish gave tv and fun. The entertainment, as at till children's parties, was |nile informal. Little Billy Blackman’s solo was greatly enjoyed, as was little Miss Williams piece. An original play enacted by the Misses Mill. Jackson, and Lamb, showed quite plainly that some methods of modern discipline would be preferable to children if the parents would not resort to the old-fashioned means at the last. After this the door to Philo Hall was found to be open and some curious little girls got into the room in time to see ld Santa and his wife come in through the window. Their exclamations of delight immediately brought others to the scene. Santa and his wife performed nobly in spile of the fact that Santa's voice was a little unstable as to pitch. Prom the gay ( hristmas tree, they dis- tributed presents to all, not forgetting that children enjoy a treat of good tilings to eat at such times.

Accordingly a large number of happy nineteen-sixteeners met in front of the library and followed the leader, who took them to that ideal picnic grounds, N'cal s pasture. As all members of the class are live wires and must be kept busy, the com- mittee bad prepared a series of games, such as baseball, three deep, and living Dutchman, which all participated in and enjoyed very much. I he baseball games were especially good, due to the most efficient services rendered by the umpires. Last and best was the summons to supper.

Tu i, hutulrcil four PERUVIAN 19 16 Iliis is an annual affair hut smvlv no other could have been quite so enjoyable as this one—at least so the Seniors think. One felt, upon entering, as though he were about to attend another Junior- Senior banquet, except that the crowd was somewhat smaller. Instead of one large banquet-hall, the room was divided into two sections, one being devoted to the general entertainment of the guests, and the other a most charming and del igh t fn I rose-garden. I'ew were aware that some of these Senior teachers and High School stu- dents had such interesting names until they attempted to decipher them from various puzzles pinned on the posts of the room. All those present will not soon forget the mvstcrv and charm ol the wonderful carnival available at this reception, the topping’ feating of which was the viewing of the most curious and uglv monster living. l or further information concerning a description of this creature vou might ask several of the guests, as I am sure you will get a different opinion from each. It was great fun to watch such people as Presi- dent Hayes and Miss Tibbcts walk the crooked line, looking in the large end of the opera glasses. Miss Tibbcts could hardly be made to give up the glasses to the next person, so fascinated was she with what she thought was another's pair of feet. In the midst of all this the people heard orchestral music and were request- ed to get their partners and enter the rose-garden—for the evenings refresh- ments—with its candle light, dainty tables and trailing roses. It is not often that people enjoy such an altogether pleasant evening as this one which the Seniors spent as the guests of the High School. It can never be said that the High School students arc not adept in the ait of enter- taining. especially when under the guidance of Miss 1 ibbets. iFmiltntan Jltntfr One of the most enjoyable of the annual events of each class is the “Get Acquainted picnic held in the early fall of the year.

After arriving at the picnic grounds, the boys scattered to gather fuel for the boil-fire while the girls cut sticks on which to roast the weinies. When each one bad eaten bis fill of the good things, the fire was put out. and various games were indulged in until a late hour. A passing farm wagon brought hack the merry folk, who stirred the even- ing’s stillness with class ve ils and songs. All reported an evening enjoyable spent and many new acquaintances made. 1916 PERUVIAN Two hiuulrnl firr Jltmuir- ruinr Hmujurt The big event is over, and will be a sourer of ivniiiii mn-r i• � r weeks.

Mr. llyslop had extra heavy work and seemed to be overloaded with hut”, narrow boxes, which were received with shriek- of delight by giggling girN. I he Juniors dashed wildly about, decorated leslivrly by sprigs of brilliant cedar in their hair, ears, and even down their necks. The Seniors alone c «uld l«� ok on with anticipatory smiles, or take a beauty sleep to prepare t«� r a lengthy even- ing of gavety. On the momentous evening the voting braves calk'd lor their ladies and wended their wavs to the chapel, where they congregated. I hen in stately pro- cession the guests marched to the gymnasium where they were greeted by a festive fairy-like scene. The bare “gvm” was tratisionned into a mystic Irish bower ol cedar and lattice work. The four walls were banks « I e vergreens, while overhead was a frail roof of green ribbons interwoven, and broad strips oi cedar. I he “gym had been rewired, and our palace was ablaze with a multitude ol lights under beautiful green shades. The whole mammoth creation was the work u artis- tic hands. The guests were directed to their places by Mr. I ’aid Oreen. as master of ceremonies, and soon were’ chatting away airily across the tables, which were jeweled with tall ervstal vases • t crimson and white roses, and trailing smilax. The menu was arranged and prepared by the domestic science department, under the guiding hand of Miss I )ick. Perfect in every detail, the least showed great ability and skill in the culinary art.

His observation on the shades of green in Peru and Mr. Lehr in particular, were extremely pointed, but loudly applauded. President Hull of the Senior Class gave a short speech of appreciation of the courtesv and hospitalitv of the Juniors, and a zesty yell by the Seniors for the Juniors'followed. Then the whole merry crowd joined in a loud, hearty cheer for our Old Peru, and with that, shortly after midnight, came the close of the most pleasant and epochal social affair of the year. pitiUi iiutlUnurYu To say that we had an immense time at the Plnlo party, is. to say the least, very tame. To begin with, it was Hallowe'en, secondly it was a masquer- ade, and thirdlv. all of us were jolly Philomathcans. We assembled in the chapel lobby—a motley throng, composed of every sort of individual ranging from angels to demons, and were conducted through the chapel, up some steps and down some more of the same articles till we found ouiselvcs in the witches labyrinth. In some way we wandered through, stumbled down a flight of precipitous stairs, and then dove blindly off into a pit filled with leaves: risking our very life and limbs as we did so. We were conducted through a very “horrible Cave of Horrors, which was was full of ghosts, skeletons, and fearful things. We wandered into the for- tune teller’s tent and read our fates, which were made readable by the heat of a llickering candle. The gym was a veritable forest, full of trees, shrubs and leaves. The onlv lights were the rays from a few stars and a brilliant and verv life-like moon. Everyone, especially the little imps, was delighted to have his picture taken. 1 9 1 C PERUVIAN Tint hit it tin tl m'm n Then we drank barrels of eider and ate three times our share of pumpkin pie, doughnuts and apples. Suddenly, at an unheard signal, the troops of gay fun-makers vanished and the scene of the festivities was left deserted. IGtbrarians’ Stcrcytunt There was a decided air of frivolity about llu evergreen-decked library one evening last winter—a frivolity which would have shocked the sedate and serious souls of Kay Scott and I 011 Draper, it they had been there t see. I� ut they weren’t. The festive groups under the red-shaded lights bore no resem- blance to the digs and grinds who usually held sway in the library. It was a motley throng—maids in night caps chatting with an Indian chieftain in his feather head-dress, a clashing figure, scarlet from head to loot, in friendly con- versation with another wearing the Prussian iron cross—in short, the Faculty out fora lark, in response to the1 following invitation: The librarians three will your presence await.

Bv 8:30 the fun of the evening had begun with a guessing contest as to the books represented, in which Mrs. Mouse won the prize. Then followed a most delightful half-hour talk by l)r. Mouse on “Present-day Poets,’ in which the trend of twentieth-century verse was discussed and exemplified by excerpts from poets writing today in Kngland and America. At the close of this talk the guests visited a gallery containing portraits of the Facul tv in fearful and wonderful costumes. Perhaps Professor 1 )elzell as Maude .Muller excited the greatest admiration. This was followed by an at- tractive exhibit of fine books, chiefly those of our own library. The guests had spent only a few minutes in the enjoyment of the beautiful hooks when tliev were summoned by their hostesses to supper. 1 he screens shutting off the east end of the reading room had been removed, showing two long, daintily set tables, lighted hv red candles and decorated with great vases of red carnations. The same color scheme was carried out in the delicious re- freshments—ice-cream, cake, candies and coffee—served by the members of the library apprentice class. One rousing song after another was sung over the coffee cups; and only the winking of the lights ended one of the most delight- ful affairs of the year. Two hundred eight PERUVIAN 19 16 C; Hitpraturr 19 16 PERUVIAN Ttro hun lrrrf nine Nrliraaka Jlncta I believe it is customary, these days, in speaking or writing of poets. to apologize for one’s interest in them. 1 have said these days. lmt I wonder whether it was not always thus. Have not people in all ages remembered their prophets only to stone them? Would not John the I'aptist have achieved greater popularity had he announced himself a I’.ig Stick, rather than a Voice? Was not David able to maintain his position at the head .of a nation rather in spite of his music than because of it? Nevertheless, 1 long ago settled it with myeslf that I ought to care more for singers and seers than for lawyers and traders and such folk. For the for- mer are the real kings. Years ago a kindly professor in the I niversity was congratulating me on mv election to a chair in a Normal School. Said he. “You have the greatest chance in the world—the only chance 1 ever envied any titan —to teach teachers!” The poet's place is the noblest in the hind because it is the most strategic. Our poets lead our leaders. I hey are kings of kings. Tennyson with his dream of a new earth, when —the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle (lags were turl d. In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the world is going to sit at the table over which men shall talk of peace, when the presenl-world-horror clears, and his potent phrases first or last will have much to do in shaping the politics of nations. The poet is determiner of thought, revealer of life, inspirer of action. He is nearer the heart of things than the rest of us. and his words are like light out of darkness, like stars over the desert. I suspect Nebraska has never been without poets—poets of real dignity and leadership, though their voices have not always been heard afar. ( fur white man’s civilization, which streamed over these plains in the late forties and the fifties, brought with it some fine traditions of culture and power. And the poetic gift is in large measure a heritage, descending from spiritual father to spiritual sons. Our very Star Spangled J’.anner, full of passionate, militant Americanism as it is, is just a fine English song, set to a time to which English throats had given immortalitv before it was ever heard in the new world. New England verse is just a trans-plant of English poetry. No doubt the early Ne- braska missionaries—religious, educational, and social—brought with them from the east the seeds of the heart flowers which were to blossom in these lat- er days front our Nebraska soil. 1 have a feeling that perhaps Dr. Merrill and the Reverend Hiram Liirch, and President Perry, and other scholarly men really brought much of our cultural life iti carrving west the traditions of ( tberlin and lloston and New Haven. I can remember that away back in the eighties, as a hoy in Crete, i heard my older brothers quote lines from Duane College stu- dents which seemed to me then, as they seem to me now, to he touched with the true dignity of lofty F.nglish verse. John Davidson and Alley Show and i'U'o hundred t n PERUVIAN 1 91 G Ernest I ross showed each a vein of poetry, real if slender. 1 can today quote lines from every one of these which show delicacy of sentiment, strength of imagination, and rhythmical beauty. Doubtless in other scats of learning. Lin- coln. Bellevue. and Peru, or in newspaper offices in a dozen villages, young fel- lows were writing, along with much formless stuff and doggerel, occasional pieces of real power and quality. Pity that all or most of them should be lost. Put it was during the last decade of the old century, and in the halls of the State Lnivcrsity. that a period of more vigorous creative activity began. 'Phis school, like the others, and perhaps more distinctly than they, had its poetic traditions. Xo less a figure in the literary world than (icorge E. Wood- berry had once been enrolled for a short time as a member of its 1 acuity: and the students had long enjoved the literary mentorship of Dr. L. A. Sherman, whose finely discriminated judgment, noble enthusiasm, and exalted taste had clone verv much towards setting up the canons of intelligent criticism in the university and in the state at large. It was therefore upon a field ready cul- tured to his hand that there appeared. I think about the fall of 1893. a young Harvard graduate hearing the name of Herbert Pates, who found in pathetic, drouth-stricken .Nebraska a stimulus to his poet s sympathy, and in the young collegians of his classes an ardent hand of disciples. During my later collegiate years at Doane I heard much ol the new English movement at Lincoln, and read with delight the earlv issues of the new English Club magazine, haltering the lnivcrsity as a graduate student in 96. I missed 1 rof. bates, who had re- turned to the east, blit found the students quoting his choice phrases, imitating his stvle. and lauding his genius. As for myself, my � i11e cop of Pates Songs of Exile” was tnv pockct-Mible. 1 loaned it to a student of my own. sometime after, and have never seen it since. But though I have not read a poem of Herbert Mates for manv years. I remember many of the verses with perfect dis- tinctness. It used to be said of Mr. Mates that his literary masters were Keats and Swinburne: and while I see in the young poet's lines no conscious imita- tion of either, I can detect strong hints of the rich beaut} and color of the former and the melancholy defiance of the latter. To read Nebraska poems written by this gifted visitor gives one the odd experience of legal ding his own home through the eves of an old-world seer. Mr. Mates saw 11s at out worst, and he never approved Nebraska. But though he was lonely here, though his sojourn was to him a term of “exile. yet he expressed the siilTeiing. the trag- edy, the pathos of pioneer life as no one else has exptessed it.

Tu hit nth • • t it 1 i PERUVIAN 1916 I have already laid stress upon the COMMUNICABILITY of literary taste and creative ardor. I cannot but believe that our now famous fellow Ne- braskan. ilia Sibert Lather, owes much of her poet’s insight and much of the refined delicacy of her diction to her College training and her association with an enthusiastic literary group in under-graduate years. If 1 am not mistaken. Miss Cathcr must have been a student in the University of Nebraska during the middle nineties, when the zeal of English study was at its highest flood, when the classes of Professors Sherman, Kates and I'rye were crowded with eager students, and when the meetings of the English Club were graced by the presence of such choice spirits as the Abbot brothers, the Pounds (Roscoe and Louise). Dan Lelimcr. II. K. Alexander, and other bright Nebraska young folk, drawn together bv kinship of taste and interest and ambition. Just why Willa Lather, of all that distinguished coterie, should have become the poet, would prove a question hard to answer. Is it necessary to revert to the doc- trine of the “divine spark? ' possibly so. Kut may not the accident of choice, or the resultant of diverging interests have just determined that one should be- come eminent in law. another in scholarly research, another in philosophy, and that still another should gain admission to the goodly company of —“those rare souls. Poets, whose thoughts enrich the blood of the world. ' One thing should be said with most positive insistence, namely, that Willa Cathcr is alwavs and forevermore a Nebraskan. She has long lived away. has for years been’one of the chief editors of a great magazine published in New York. Kut her genius is the genius of Nebraska plains and fields. I lei sympa- thies are born of the struggles and privations, the primitive joys, the social freedom, and the tragic circumstance of pioneer Nebraska, llei piose novel.

An epitome of the story is presented in the lyrical introduction— PRAIRIE SPRING Evening and the flat land. Rich and sombre and always silent; The miles of fresh-plowed soil.

As I approach the discussion of my third Nebraska poet. 1 expeiieme almost a sense of personal embarrassment. As citizens of a new State, a west- ern State, a State given over first to fighting drouth and grass-hoppers, and more latelv to hoarding corn, harvesting alfalfa, and fattening cattle, we ha e come to accept’ the dictum of the east, and to regard ourselves as necessarily raw and provincial. To announce the presence in a Nebraska village of a very great poet, to see in one of our next-door neighbors a companion of Shelley and Ben Johnson and Horace—this would be certainly to sacrifice one's repu- tation (if he had any) for literary judgment, possibly his claims to common sense and common modesty. Fortunately for himself, John Gneisenau Xei- Itardt. of Bancroft. Nebraska, needs no estimate of mine to give him high standing among the artists of the world. Gerald Stanley Lee. writing in Put- nam's Magazine, ventures the prediction that A Bundle of Myrrh, by John Neihardt. will be “read by the people of this country five hundred years off, 1916 PERUVIAN Tim hmitlrt fl flftern with John Keats, Wordsworth. Sidney Lanier. Whitman, and “The Songs of Solomon.” What Mr. Xciliardt’s literary antecedents ami affinities may have been and are. 1 have no guess. I only know that his poetry shows the certain, confident strokes of a master of form, while his themes are his own. I have seen no more serious criticism upon this poet than that he i a young man and writes like one. For this I love him. lie feels as strong men only feel, that every day is a battle. From the moment when one experiences the fires of life horn in his body and soul, all down the year- t � the time of disintegration and decay, he must go forth to fight the monster of baseness and betrayal. And nowhere in literature have 1 ever seen the intimate truth more powerfully pic- tured than in Xeihardt’s great prayer: JOHN NKIIIAUI T TO THE EARTH—GO 1)1)FSS (,aea. Mother Gaea! Oh at last.

I taught school in the district just south of Hem. 011 the Nemaha river. I received fifteen dollars per month, and I board- ed around among the families in the community. One I tiesday morning, while I was boarding at the home of one of the most prominent men in the district, I arose quite early, and upon looking out 01 window, I saw a large covered wagon, drawn by six mules. I� y the side 01 the wagon stood a tall, venerable man with long whiskers. I soon learned that this stranger was John brown, and that in the wagon were seventeen black men who were being taken to freedom. Alter eating a hearty breakfast, they came to Kern, journeyed north to Nebraska City, and thence across the Missouri river to 'fabor, Iowa, an under ground station. I his was John brown's last trip north, fie soon went to Harper’s Ferry, was captured, and executed, and before the next year his name was famous, and the soldiers were singing. ‘John brown’s body Lies Mouldering in the (I rave.’ ” Tiru hmuhal ri }htf i n PERUVIAN 1 91 G aliis is thr iCifr” (PRIZH STORY-) I )i ar reader, at the very outset we have a confession tn make. The task � f weaving a narrative which would he sufficiently unique to compete for your favor with the present-day literature—by which your literary appetite may be already (tampered, is stupendous, and one at which our modest powers shrink. And so. because in the search for pleasing and fresh experiences we are often compelled to return again to the glamor of our childhood, let us confess that this is to be a fairy tale. Allow us to add also that this is perhaps more nearly a true story than the fairy princes and mystic sprites in which you once delighted. This is the story: Xow there lives in this beautiful locality of Peru a spirit—or shall we call it a fairv—of wonderful and subtle powers, just as this fairy herself is a wonder- fid and subtle being. True, no one has ever seen this fairy—we cannot even describe her dress and silver wand for you. dear reader, for no one has actually met her. Keen when in her favorite haunts where her presence could be dis- tinctly felt, no one has so much as caught a glimpse of her form flitting among the beautiful foliage of our sylvan dells. Yet. nevertheless, her spell is a potent one and you have all witnessed the transformation caused by it—nay. perhaps even fallen victims yourselves to her caprices. For staid and dignified Seniors, even, have unwittingly visited her favorite haunts and fallen under her spell. Even mature professors and austere school teachers coming unwarned to this place have been—at least tempor- arily—victimized by this subtle spirit—this elusive fairy. For the want of a better name for so intangible a being and for the reason that all her victims are wont to repeat as a sort of motto again and again the words—or at least think them, let us speak of her as the hairy 1 his-Is-thc- I .ife.” Ve will proceed then with our story. Angelia. the heroine of our fairy talc, was an ordinary High School girl who. being possessed of unlimited ambition, was constrained, after her first year of teaching in the Corn-Tassel district, (which was highly successful, and which added not a little to Angelia's dignity), to seek new worlds to conquer. Thus Angelia came to this beautiful spot among the hills, in all the confidence and expectation of the recentlv graduated High School student, and of course with all the susceptibility to homesickness of any cherished only daughter. lint we must hasten. To make a long story short. Angelia suffered acute- ly from that dread malady of the first quarter of school, homesickness. To quote her expression in after days, she likta died. She stood forlornly in an eddy of the hilarious throng in the gymnasium at the mixer reception, one small—ah, so small unit in the general plan of things! She hurried timidly sev- eral times each day between the rows of staring, confident boys and young men perched along the railing at the fountain. For the first time since her High School days she suffered from a total loss of confidence. She shrank from the 1916 PERUVIAN Tiro hunth cil nineteen noise and (to her) “unladylike” conduct of Iter fellow occupants of the Dormi- tory—in short, she was cruelly disappointed in it all. she was finding threat dif- ficulty in the readjustment of her life and in truth and in deed, she likta died, lint where, von ask. does the fairy come in.' Patience, gentle reader, the time is at hand. For one day early in the second week, after Atigelia had pleaded for an hour with the registrar and the president in turn, for leave of absence to visit her dear grandmother, who was growing very old and who might at any time become ill. only to be denied this dearest privilege of filial respect-, her class in geology was taken upon a field trip. But again we must hasten. Suffice it to say that it was upon this trip over the hills that Angelia became one of the victims of this fairy I his- Is-lhe-1 -ife. Perhaps the first noticeable effect of the spell was the changed appearance of things, for from the top of one of the rugged hills, the view which hitherto might have met with no response whatever, became a picture which fairly trans- ported Angelia to Fairy Land. Then as the party descended a cool, odorous little valley the spell was completed. By this time Angelia gloried in her sur- roundings. she marveled at the tinkling of the crystal brook which sparkled down between the mossy bluffs, she gasped at the romantic history portrayed in the stratified sandstone along the river bluffs. Her whole attitude toward life seemed to have changed, for Angelia began to find herself doing things at the mere thought of which she would have gasped on the day preceding. She caught herself flipping pebbles at the ear of a perfectly strange red-haired hoy in front of her. She so far forgot Iter dignitv as to shout with laughter when this same boy fell over a stone while looking back at her. But the climax was not yet reached when Angelia’s steps turned again toward the campus and she found the red-haired boy. by some strange chance, walking beside her. Said he. smiling into Angelia’s rapt face, as the red sun dipped behind the old tower of the Trainer’s building looming above tlu dark trees upon the crest of the hill, “This-ls-the-Life! and Angelia echoed in a voice scarcely to be recognized for its ring of abandon. “This is the life! The spell was complete. But others had been touched by the fairy’s magic wand, to the woe of the dormitory preceptress, as the events which followed testified. For the night’s events were to prove still more conclusively the potency of this fairy’s charm in breaking down all the teachings of conventionalities and replacing serious dignity wdtli caprice. Another peculiar change in Angelia was that she now saw desirable per- sonalities among her neighbors at the dormitory. She seemed possessed of a strong desire to become acquainted with them and the picturesque language which at first had irritated this very precise disciple of Reed and Kellogg now sounded entirely euphonious. It seemed due to Angelia’s new desire to please and to the other effects of the magic spell that io o’clock found her shaking in ecstacy from her position upon the hack of a chair, to which position she had climbed in order to contrive from the rug a shade for her transom. | [cr new companions had lighted the oil lamp and the chafing dish breathed appetizing I n o htnitin tn't ntji PERUVIAN 1 91G odors of all the forbidden things upon the preceptress's list. Eleven o’clock found the convivial scene still dominated by our heroine Angelia, whose friends were finding new traits of interest in her as the night wore on. The assembly had now taken on the appearance of a masquerade and Angelia's costume depicted a demure, elderly spinster of by-gone days. But the narration of all the departures from Angelia’s former ways, how- ever unique and startling, would doubtless become wearisome to you. patient readers, and once more we hasten. Angelia dreamed as she slept that night (she had been compelled to retire in haste and without disrobing, by the insistent rapping of the preceptress upon her door) that Commencement Day was at hand. It seemed that she. from a throne before which incense arose from a monstrous dazzling chafing dish, had just been presented by a red-haired boy with a world for a foot stool. Her shoes clanged against the little iron bed as she stirred in her emotion, and from the supreme satisfaction of her triumph she murmured in her sleep, I his is the life.” But the spell which the fairy had cast over our heroine was not the kind which disappears (as in our childhood stories) in a day. Indeed the spell seemed to be more noticeable for the next few days than upon the first, and Angelia rapidlv acquired a reputation for high spirits and leadership which would have shocked her parents and maiden aunt at home. The preceptress soon learned to go directly to Angelia's room when any commotion was heard at the Dormitory, as the most likely location of the origin. Angelia became a great favorite and in time her whole attitude to- wards life in general—her verv bearing seemed to suggest. I his is the life. She seldom if ever reverted to the dignity of her school teaching days, she laughed in derision at some of her former most cherished ideals. And while she barelv escaped being banished from the Dorm upon seteral occasions, while she ate her share of midnight lunches, while she even became familiar with our beautiful scenery under all stages of moonlight, and while she ceased in time to shed tears over a grade of eighty in college algebra, her fellow stu- dents, not having known her before, did not realize that it was all the work of the subtle fairy This-Is-the-Lifc. But again we must proceed with our narrative. You will be glad to learn, dear readers, that as time wore on and the school term drew to a close, the fairy's spell began to wane. From time lo time Angelia's old quietness and dignity began to return and she grew more and more thoughtful—and perhaps it was well, for Commencement came on apace and her parents and numerous relatives assembled to witness once more a triumph by their admired and beloved Angelia—perhaps it was well, we say. that Angelia had come to realize once more her responsibilities at this crown- ing event of her Senior year. And as the last few weeks drew on this serious- ness became as apparent as had the caprices of the earlier days. The new annual abounded with snap-shots of Angelia and the red-haired boy—now also recovered from the fairy's spell and grown serious, and while Angelia mav 19 16 PERUVIAN Tiro hmnlml 1 ivcntii-uiic never have realized literally her dream of tlu- throne, .she seemed |tiiie as well satisfied when seated upon his hooks or the eampus railing. And now, dear readers, let us confess that having brought our story to this point, we tire at a loss as to the best method of closing. In conformity to your former ideals we should say that Angelin enjoyed th • satisfaction of hav- ing the world at her feet, and that the red-haired hoy made the presentation speech—and inasmuch as this situation is in deed only a relative one. depend- ing only upon what things mean all the world to one. let us contradict our for- mer statement to the contrary and end in the good old way uto matter whether the position of English teacher, or the principalship of the Jonesville Iligii School meant all the world to Angelin) by saying that Angelia's dream came true, that the fairy’s spell left, and that she lived happily ever after. 0 = 0 iCpaamts IGranteft at Pmt Work—and the Faculty help von; Sluf—and you sluf alone.
