I -rurum Peru as a Four Year Normal School Since 1867 the Peru Normal has been empowered to grant tlu- Bachelor's degree, and up to 1913 such degrees were given to those who completed their junior college work here and their senior college work elsewhere. Hut in the latter year the State Board made the requirement that the last year of the senior college work must he done in Peru to secure the Bachelor of Education degree. Up to July, 1917, over fifty such degrees had been granted. Within the current school year the State Hoard has changed the title of the degree from Bachelor of Education to Bachelor of Art . and exacted a slight increase in requirements. Peru’s A. B. degree now ranks with the highest. The following are additional reasons why the completion of Peru’s Senior College course is worth while: 1. There is an increasing and just demand for more thoro preparation of educa- tional leaders and especially of those who have gone as far as the Master’s degree. Graduate work is our State University needs and is entitled to all the feeders for itx courses it can get. 2. This increase will be financially possible if more students take advantage of the economies of doing their senior college work in the State Normal, and use the saving in expenses to take a Master’s degree in the University. If three years’ school- ing can be gotten for almost the price of two, why not take the former? Think this over. 3. Peru has a larger faculty and a larger enrollment of students of collegiate rank than any other educational institution in Nebraska except the State University. 4. The Peru Normal is one of the thirteen normal colleges in the United States, and is recognized and credited in the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities. 5. The equipment of the school in all departments is kept up to a high standard of completeness, and new apparatus is being constantly added thru the alertness of the faculty in keeping fully abreast of the times, and thru the generosity of the state in meeting all legitimate expenses of expansion. 6. The magnificent new training school building and organization are making possible more than ever an experimental investigation of educational problems, and an application in practice of the gains in educational progress. In these investiga- tions the senior college student may share. 7. Coincident with expansion in all other lines, the course of study is constantly being enriched in a way to fully meet current demands. The student entering on a four-year normal course has a choice of courses that would take more than six- teen years to complete if he took them all. We do not here give details of the specific requirements for securing a Bachelor- of-Education degree, because a very complete catalog has lately been issued, which supplies full information.

Mill« r. 1 .« i li Juniors In the early fall, after the usual ritual of registration, loca- tion of class rooms, exploration of campus, and first sieges of homesickness, the new students and the former members of the class all met in front of the chapel, and proceeded to travel “somewhere” west of town for a moonlight picnic. From that time there were no “new” juniors—we were all old friends! Then in March, the juniors entertained the senior class at an informal party. This evening, too, is full of happy memories. The social events, alone, arc not the only items of interest. There arc the recollections of a prowess in regard to class pennants, athletic contests, and various school activities which were always well supported by members of the junior class. The year has been a delight, and a source of satisfaction to junior, while the loyal support of our class adviser, Miss Dunn, will be a happy memory to us. 7 he Peruvian y Cockrell. Rohonson.

One crisp winter afternoon, we noticed a sign on the bulletin board, Freshman sleighing party in Chapel at 7 :30.” VVe hope the sleighing was good. Rather early in the fall, as is our usual habit to be first, we Freshmen went on a hike to Buck Creek to partake of our evening repast. Professor Smith was the main feature of the evening with the exception of President Shaver and Miss Bishop—nuf said. Well anyhow, we had a splendid time. Yes, we really did go on a sleighing party, but not in the chape! that time. Alrho we are considered frivolous by the staid and steady Seniors, I’ll bet there isn’t one who doesn’t wish he could have gone along. 7 hr Vnil hiII ,S V:m«M Krlly. Karirr Majors. Kplcr. Cowol.

If days or weeks should find us far apart, Would absence cause our friendship ties to sever Or leave an empty space in some friend’s heart? It must be true that friends are friends forever, That friendship wanes not with the Heeting years. Then we’ll not fear that these strong ties may sever Nor weaken them by foolish doubts and fears. Friendship is not measured by mere miles or hours, It reaches o’er the oceans, through the years, So then when we’ve grown old and bent and weary Through tasting of life’s many joys and fears Let’s each one hope and feel that somewhere’s smiling, The lips and eyes of dear old college friends, It must be true that friends are friends forever, If not, why did God let us be friends?

Ro birds, Apph- ate High School 1 he High School is being reorganized along the Junior High School plan. The seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades are included, in which there has been an enrollment of one hundred pupils. In the reorganization, new courses in science and commercial will be offered. A definite attempt will be made to adapt the course to the needs of the pupil and help the pupil find himself. Supervised study is being carried on in the four grades, affording a splendid oppor- tunity for student teachers to get first hand knowledge of it. It is hoped that the reorganization will not only make it possible for pupils to get the training that will best fit them for the work they will enter, but that it will also furnish a laboratory in which student teachers may be trained to meet the growing demand for Junior High School workers. The High School this year has taken a commendable part in all forms of war activities. Almost one hundred per cent of the pupils helped in the Y. M. C. A. drive in the fall. Since that time they have helped in Red Cross drives, by taking out memberships and in work for the soldiers, sewing for French orphans, buying thrift stamps and in giving help in food conservation programs and demonstrations. A number are enrolled in garden and pig clubs to aid in food production. A commendable spirit of patriotic service has been shown during the year. Pe ruvi i n IS 1 11. I,%i i'. Kllioii. K:uIit.

He had hard luck at the be- ginning of the season, however, which dis- abled him for a considerable time. In the games in which he did participate he showed the punch and determination which makes a good football player. COACH JOHNSON Whatever has been accomplished in our athletics this year has been accomplished only through the untiring efforts of our Coach. The team was almost wholly made up of absolutely new material and it un- doubtedly took the patience of Job to make anything like a football team lit to cope with the best in the state. Coach taught his men to play a clean and sportsmanlike game and by his patience and sympathy won the respect and admira- tion of every man on the team. BELL Halfback KIDD Captain. End Cap came to Peru with quite a reputa- tion as a football player and proved that he could furnish the goods. This was his second year of football with Peru and he proved to be fast and one of the best ground gainers on the team. The Perm i,in A HUNT Center Talbot was honored by being elected captain of the 1918 football team. He proved himself worthy of this honor by his aggressiveness and blocking ability on the defensive and his expert work at passing the ball. On a winning team he would have been eligible for all-state center. HAVES C uard Tubby was a reliable player and could be depended upon to open holes for the back icld men or to do his part in stopping line plunges. This was Tubby’s first year out but we are glad to announce that he expects to be back again next fall. HEDGES lalfback Mack was one of the fastest men on the field and had a slippery way of eluding tacklers. He was also adept at receiving forward passes. This was Mack’s first year out so we have a right to expect much of him next year. A 77 V v r CARTER Q uarterback Pewee when in command of the team ran things very smoothly for a first year man. He used good head work in calling signals and although light could be de- pended upon to carry the ball through the line his share of the time. He will make a strong addition to next year’s team. KOTAS (t uard Rill played his first game of football with the Normal last fall. He was a hard work- er and could be depended upon to do his best. Since he is to be a Professor next year his football days are over. COPENHAVER Guard “Snoose” was one of the big men of the team and did much in holding the line. He always had his opponent up in the air and never failed to stop his man or make a hole for the backfield when it was needed. Everyone will be glad to know that he expects to be back for next season. The Terurum JO IS LONG I a! fback Yes, Ole was small but his nerve and determination were as big as anything on the team. For a small man he was re- markably adept at running interference and smashing into line plunges. We need such men as he on next year’s team. MARDIS Fullback Spud was the battering ram of the team. He ran low and fast and could be depended upon to make his share of the gains. Spud also showed himself capable of hold- ing down the end positions in several games. • Coach has a right to expect much of him next year. ROETTEGER Tackle Funny proved to be a real lighter from the word “go” and did much to put pep into the team in times of greatest stress. He was a good lineman and will be a strong point in next year's team. The Permuni STEVENSON Quarterback Steve, the midget quarterback, although having no former experience was quite suc- cessful in commanding the team. He was quick to catch a new signal and did much to “pep” up the team. We need him for next year’s team. SAM) HERO Halfback Sandy, the old reliable. I bis was bis fifth year of football with Peru and we regret to say bis last. Sandy this season led the attack in both defensive and of- fensive and was the best ground gainer on the team. TYSON End Ty was noted for bis bulldog tenacity and developed himself into a reliable and heady end. His work at smashing inter- ference and breaking through the line at a critical time was bis strong point. We lose a dean and bard fighting athlete when he graduates this year. The Peruvian P' S TOFI' Tackle T Although a new mail Vic displayed much ability as a football player by his aggres- sive work at Left Tackle. He will be a big factor in the success of next year’s team if he comes back. Better come back, Vic. The 1917 Football Season From the standpoint of standing and from the standpoint of a team our 1917 foot- ball season could hardly be called a success. When the season opened it was found that only one old varsity man was back to help mould the team and but few of the remaining could even boast of having been on the 1916 reserve list. Thus with the opening of the season the prospects looked gloomy indeed and remained so throughout the season. It is undoubtedly true that Coach Johnson was confronted with one of the hardest problems of his life when he attempted to make a team strong enough to cope with Nebraska’s strongest football teams, most of whom were most fortunate in having a great plenty of material. The, playing throughout the season was naturally more or less mechanical with a team of such green material. It was noticeable that the sixth sense (the football sense) and individual diagnosis of the opponents’ plays were lacking. It would, how- ever, be a discredit to the team and to our Coach to stop here. To an individual who watched the growth of the team from the first week till the last its progress must have been a revelation. For real perseverance and sportsmanship the team should be given as much credit as any team Peru has ever boasted of. 1 he first game of the season was played on our home field with the strong Wesley- amtes who proved to be too much for our beginners and romped away with the long end of a 63 to 0 score. The score perhaps would not have been quite so decided had not several ot the varsity been out of the lineup. Thr‘ 0 S We undoubtedly encountered our most formidable toe at Creighton, for the second game of the season on Creighton’s field. It is not to be wondered at that the strongest team in several states won on this occasion but it is a thing to be wondered at and a thing to be proud of that Peru actually scored a touchdown against them, a feat which few teams in the state could accomplish. York with many of her old veterans back invaded our camp for the second game on the home field, and were openly confident of an easy victory. I'.vcn many of Peru's strongest supporters predicted annihilation. Hut just to show them what we had learned in the two previous games Peru held them scoreless throughout the first half. Several injuries however were sustained in our lineup and '1 ork won a hard victory of 20 to 0. Peru perhaps played her best game at Cottier with the Bulldogs. I he game was played toward the latter end of the season when Cotner was admittedly state champion and Peru’s defeat was almost certain. Yet the boys fought with a tenacity not equaled by the Bulldogs themselves and after a hard fight Cotner was able to win by only 22 points. It might be said with truth that Peru had only one defeat this season which should be placed in the discredit column. We will attempt to make no excuse for our defeat at the hands of Kearney. With half the fighting spirit that was displayed in some of the previous games it would have been Peru s game from start to finish. As it is the mere recollection of the game is enough to shame any member of the team, ivearnev went home with the big end of a 26 to 0 score. The last game of the season was played at Tarkio on Thanksgiving day. The cold day and strenuous trip took much of the team’s vigor and 1 arkio was easily able to score four touchdowns during the first half. '1 he last half, however, turned out to be a revelation to even the Peru boys themselves. 1 arkio scored during the first few moments of play on a fluke, and from then on it was easily Peru’s game. Peru took straight across the field for a touchdown and thereafter played continually in Tarkio’s territory, making the final score 35 to 7. And so the record for this season must stand not truly as a success yet not a thing to be ashamed of. Here’s to the team of 191 S’, may they bring much honor and glory to the old blue and white and fight with as much spirit and zest as did the team of 1917, but with more success. 1 he Peruvian 10 is I hr I'rrurifin ' S The Peruvian v S ( t ns I h I t t H i HI SA. DBER( i Captain, Forward Sandy this year played his sixth season of basketball with the Peru varsity. During these six years he has always been admired for his good sportsmanship, courage and skill. J fe was the captain and leader of this year’s squad in floor work and goal shooting. TYSON Center rI his was “Tv’s” second year on the squad and he showed himself able to cope successfully with most of the state’s best centers. His floor work was of the very best and he was no slouch at goal shooting. H EDGES Forward Mack displayed unusual ability this year for a first year man. His goal shooting was very accurate and he was fast on the floor. He will undoubtedly be one of the best forwards in the state next season. 77 c Ferunan V S TOFT Guard ic” is a man who was always there when an opponent had the hall.

ROETTKC iKR G uard Funny’s ability as a basketball player was elo- qucntly demonstrated when he was chosen cap- tain of next year’s squad. He will undoubtedly be a strong man around which to build next year’s team. «V I hr Frnt vtnn SENIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL Fixrlwr. Low� � . GrcmliHi. Huffman. Sliunka JUNIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL Gaines.

WILSON Debating Team .Much interest was displayed in the preliminary debates this year, in which a large number took part. Enthusiastic audiences attended these debates, and expressed their satisfaction in the good work that was done. Those who took part were as follows: Messrs. Black, Donovan, Hacker, Snyder, Wirth, Oakes, Reeves, Krieg, and Crilly, and Misses Snide, Lauman, Olson, Fletcher, Leisure, Gregg, Elder, Kilgore, Hopp, Eegtmeier, Brown, Cockerell, Schmidt, and Margaret Ryan. The questions which they discussed were these: Wealth motivates more than honor. I he morals of the world are improving. I niton was greater than Edison. Rural schools should be consolidated. Moving pictures arc beneficial to the community. Health is more desirable than education. Mail-order houses do more to educate people than any other agency outside of schools. Normal school rather than University training is a better preparation for public school teaching. Heredity has a greater effect on character than environment. Government should operate railroads during war. Negro has been worse treated by the United States than the Indian. Universal adoption of military training in high schools desirable. The Peruvian The judges, Professors Wilson and C Iregg, and Miss Dunn, had difficulty in making a final selection of the members of the debating teams. After careful deliberation they chose Messrs. Donovan and Crilly and Misses Laumann, Leisure, Fletcher, Schmidt. Gregg, and Broun. Only two debates were scheduled this year. The schools with whom we have been accustomed to debate gave as their reasons for discontinuing this year inadequacy ot funds or lack of men to debate. However, our old time friend, Kearney, offered to hold a debate with us on the question, “Resolved, that the War l ax Law of last ( )cto- ber be amended by substantially increasing the taxes on incomes ami excess profits.” This question was upheld at Peru by Mr. Crilly and .Misses Brown and Gregg, and Fletcher, and denied at Kearney by Mr. Donovan, our champion debater, and .Misses Leisure, Lauman and Schmidt. To our able adviser, Mr. Wilson, is due any success that we have had or will have in the future in this connection. 7 hi' rt’fwi lull A fo s Tin 1'cnnntn Bird Life in Peru As I sit at our west window this evening and watch the wooded slopes on Normal Hill darken in the shadows, I hear the evening notes of the wood thrush, the twitter of the skimming chimney swifts as they forage above the tree tops for their evening meal, the occasional alarm cry of a disturbed cat-bird, and the cheep-cheep of the ever present English sparrow. This afternoon as I walked home through Normal park, 1 was entertained by the “whank, whank” of the acrobatic nut-hatch; I saw the unmistakable red, white and black of the red-headed woodpecker, and heard the “whir wlirr” of his only competitor in the wood-pecker noise, the “red-belly”. Almost simultaneous with these wood sounds the “whit chee chec chcc, whit chee dice chec” which we always associate with the meadow lands came to me as a gold-finch traced his wave-like path from a pasture plot at the park’s edge. This morning as our field class listened to the sounds that early morning woods have to give, we heard the “chcc-ti, chee-u, chee-u—chee-u, chu, chu, chu” of the cardinal throughout the hour, we were at no time out of hearing of the bubbling medley of the house wren, we were more than once happily surprised by the variety ol the blue jay’s notes, a wood pewee continued to tell us his name and the cardinal-like notes of the tufted titmouse came to us as he worked about among the branch tips for his breakfast. These sounds and many more have added to the summer experiences of those who have had ears to hear them. He who would, need but to go forth under Peru’s forest trees and list to nature’s music while from every side it comes in ever increasing beauty. On the other hand, have you ever seen the indigo bunting, the Baltimore oriole, the chewink, the yellow warbler, or the rose-breasted grosbeak? He who has can appreciate the reference in Peru rhymes to painting “with colors true”. The eye-minded may enjoy this life quite as much if not more than those sensory pleasures which come through the ear. Or perhaps it little avails to try to entice you by aesthetic appeals. Perhaps yours is a practical nature which demands figures, cold and hard, for your satisfaction. At no place, then, can you add to your accumulated store ot practical lore more readily than in Peru, the fact that the multiplying increase of feathered life makes for a decreasing insect population. When you know that the annual tax exacted by these insect inhab- itants of our land amounts to one-tenth of the crop production, you cannot but agree that there is something besides color and twitter to all of this. Yes, Peru has birds. Perhaps seventy-five percent, certainly fifty percent, of Ne- braska’s 400 species of birds are to he found in and near Peru. An old check list pre- pared by a resident in the year 1896 showed something like 120 and there are a great many here now which are not found in that list. Recently a considerable tract of land along the Missouri River in the vicinity of Bellevue was purchased and set aside as a preserve for birds, wild animals, and plant life. Our Normal park has, if anything, even a more abundant and a more varied bird life than that of this Fontenelle Park. And we are coming to appreciate it too. ■ The Pentvinn PUS Peru Anthropology Cannibals in Peru! Where? On the hilltops all about! When ? Some hundreds or even thousands of years ago! How do you know? Well, that’s a long story, if it were all told ; we can’t do it in the space given us. If you want to satisfy yourself, go and dig in some of the old “lodge circles”, or buffalo wallows, on the ridge west of “Pike’s Peak”. A few feet of digging at the right spot in one of these depressions will bring you to the ashes, the rocks, and the charcoal of the old-time fireplaces, in which, perchance, you may find the remains of human bones, curious pieces of pottery and other relics of long gone days. We have asked the man in Peru who has done the most of this actual digging, and who knows most about it, to write a brief account of the essential facts about this ancient people, who probably antedated the Indians. His sketch follows, but we ven- ture to invite the interested to go and talk with him about it and to see his collection of relics in the office of the Meek Lumber Co. Mr. Carleton Meek is our local anthropologist. His article follows: “We are justly proud of the fact that Peru is one of the oldest educational centers in the state and we mention with pride that our village is over half a century old. How- ever, it will no doubt be a surprise to many to know that at least several centuries and possibly several thousand years ago these very same hills were the site of a village of considerable size. “It has recently been discovered that what have commonly been called ‘buffalo wallows’ were never made by the buffalos at all, but are the ruined homes of a pre- historic race of people. Nearly twenty-five of these ruins can be found on tops of the hills in and around Peru. OfS I n i l n hi “There is no evidence that these people were in any way related to the modern In- dian; in fact every indication would go to show that they were a different race of people. They were an agricultural people, as shown by their stone and bone hoes and spades. They were also fond of hunting and fishing. Their homes were built parth underground, rectangular in shape, and from thirty to fifty feet on a side. “Prof. Robert Gilder states that these ruins are several thousand years old. I)r. Sheldon, of the Nebraska University, is somewhat of the same opinion. Dr. Sterns, of Harvard University, who has made some excavations here at the ropiest of the writer, is confident that they are at least several hundred years old. “Those who are interested in seeing and digging in these ruins will find several on Col. T. J. Majors’ farm, as well as others farther southwest along the same ridge.” 77 c Peruvian , When Seas Prevailed (icological history, like the history of Noah, centers about a Hood. Many, many ages ago, in a time known to the geologist as the Carboniferous, Peru was under a shallow sea. Rivers from the uplands to west and east poured in their waters, murky with sand and silt from the ancient highlands, till the bed of our early Mediterranean was covered fathoms deep with this stolen debris. Deltas at every river mouth, with their characteristic cross-bedding, blended with the ttatly laid layers ot sediment, under the deeper water. Along our river hi lifts today we may read clearly the story of that ancient seashore. Where the waters were deep and still, lime forming creatures of the sea foregathered—and departing, left behind them in the scrap heap of their bones and shells, many layers of fine, clean limestone. Such a stratum two or three feet thick outcrops near our present river landing. It is not only our shale and sandstone bluffs which give us the story of this early time. In the red clay banks along the road west of the Burlington station, just back of Frank Majors' bungalow, is a distinct record of the most ancient life that Nebraska has had. Here are fossils of that sea life that thrived in Peru when the now venerable Appalachian Mountains were in their infancy and the Rockies had not yet been upfolded. Murky Swamps and Gloomy Forests Fven broad Mediterraneans have their day and cease to be. So our sea receded, both because of its infilling with sediment, and because of mighty uplifts to right and left, which had their effect on Nebraska in elevating this broad sea Horn . The marsh which succeeded the sea produced giant ferns, enormous equiseta and other plant life which after long submergence made of some thin seams of coal. With the protecting waters removed, weathering began on the fresh-laid strata, till the even surface was despoiled, and hills and valleys appeared. Oxidation stained the red clay which out- crops occasionally about Peru, and which has an economic importance in brick and pottery making. Baptized by the Gulf of J lexica Again, in the process of time, came another invasion of the sea from the south, with its slow infilling with sediments from the water-worn highlands. Huge reptiles were then the “highest society” on College Hill. Since that time Peru has been dry may it continue so! Under a Mile of lee The most dramatic event in the making of Peru occurs next, after a long interval. In the region west of Hudson Bay, the snows of a thousand of years accumulated rill the weighty mass moved southward in the form of a continental glacier. Such a mass, over a mile thick, carved and scraped the surface over which it passed in its earh course. As it advanced toward Peru, its struggle against the fierce rays of our Nebraska summers became one long defeat, its heart melted within, and the load ot clay, sand. fiJ fS f he Ui'ntX hiU i and bowlders, stolen from Manitoba, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas, was strewn irregularly over our neighborhood. Most of the large bowlders have long since decayed, except the pink or purple quartzite which were brought from Dakota. Putting Wealth in the Soil 'I he next act in the drama is gentler, though its results are even more apparent, in Peru. 1 he cyclonic winds blowing over the glacial debris (which had been sorted somewhat by the work of glacial streams), picked up the fine material, and carried it far and wide, to deposit it in uneven depths over eastern and central Nebraska. Nearly all our clay banks in Peru arc of this wind-laid loess. Note the banks of the athletic field for the characteristic cream-colored sandy clay, which tends to break perpendicu- larly. Peru has been a much favored spot. The gifts of the sea, of the glacier, and of the winds, have brought us wonderful prosperity. Soil, made by the disintegration of native rock, forms very slowly. Some one has estimated that a depth of an inch of such residual soil is five hundred years in the making. We have received the accumu- lations of many other regions here, and in depth, durability and variety of elements, our soil can compete with the rest of the world. Our Recent’' History The river, too, has been at work, carving and depositing along its banks—the Hood plain beyond the railroad station being an evidence of the latter, and the constant in- vasion along the track near Barney, an instance of the former work. Mountain- making movements have affected us little. Our horizontally bedded strata have been only slightly disturbed. But the steady, relentless wearing of run-off water, and the disintegrating action of wind, frost, heat and cold have roughened our surface to the steep hills we have today. They are now in the stage known as “early maturity”. Continued attacks by slope wash will in time level them down to the monotony of plains,—but you and I will not be here to see. it‘vu vitin The Botany of Peru About Peru the forces of nature have reveled. The erratic old muddy for centuries past has not ceased to carve its channel and Hood plain. Sometimes plowing out the earth on this side and building up yonder and then again reversing the whole process like a petulant child. Constantly, too, it picks up tons and tons of earth which arc not deposited but are carried up the fertile delta of the Father of Waters. As if to pay tribute to his greater majesty the rivcrlets of surface water rushing in like mad from the surrounding plains have cut themselves winding and tortuous ravines of great beauty and variety. bile these forces have played carving the whole landscape into hill and dell and valley they have acted as the very hand maiden of plant life. I he hills, where the mercenary hand of man has not intervened, are covered with a varied forest. hese trees are the outposts of their more numerous and richer clan ton ml farther east. Oaks, hickories and lindens line the hillsides and contend with each other tor space and light. Underneath and less ambitious the shade loving iron wood and red bud arc content to live a more humble existence. The Latter ex- hibiting but a single burst of vanity each year, when its blossoms break forth in scat- tered patches of purple before the other trees have awakened from their long winter slumber. Here and there at random the huge podded coffee bean tree raises aloft its ashen colored trunk in sharp contrast to the dark bodied oaks about it. The rough, corky hackberry also finds its place and along the moistcr ravines and valleys the black walnut produces its lavish yield of nuts to delight the heart of the roving boy or frisk- ing squirrel. Underneath the trees, too, nature is prodigal. Karly in the spring before the oaks and their seasonal contemporaries have cast their somber shade, the waxen spring lily and Dutchman’s breeches appear. Warmed by a few days of sun the modest blue violet also springs forth as if by magic to greet the new year. Sparingly in the better drained places the bashful Jack-in-the-pulpit dares to lift its head, and a little later the graceful wand-like Solomon’s Seal bursts forth in white array. These vernal plants in turn are supplanted by a myriad ot others varying in nature from the dense, clinging bed strain to the tall, isolated figwort, with the green of many mosses and the moist dells are crowded with the delicate fronds of numberless ferns. The climbers arc found, too, in great abundance. T he grapevine, the woodbine, the hated poison ivy and the scarlet berried bitter-sweet aspire to move in the more lofty society of the trees. In this finding themselves unworthy they adopt the tactics ot men. Seizing upon the strength of others they lift themselves proudly towards the sky. Then, with their long, impotent, but graceful stem, their crown of leaves bursts forth to the sunlight as if to say, “Behold my glory also”. In many places the tops of the hills are still covered with patches of the coarse and ranker grasses driven there like a vanquished army by the slow moving but irresistible forest. In the foreground of these oncoming trees the honor ot leading the charge is delegated to the shorter but more indomitable shrubs like the sumac, hazel, coral berry, 'V A hr Pt’nn itui service berry, and buckthorn. These thrust parties, establish themselves, shade out the grass and prepare the way for the seedlings of the unconquerable forests behind them. Even the rock cliffs and ledges are not secure from the preempting tendencies or plants. Here the crustose lichen with its meager needs finds room to abide. Likewise the diminutive rock fern and the little leaf-like Asterella have a place to their liking. These reacting upon the rock like the carver’s chisel loosen bits here and there that are carried downward by gravity to form talus at the base. On this mass one finds the more vigorous liverworts and mosses that not only have space to flourish bur arc also slowly doing their bit in forming the rich black soil of the fertile fields. Down on the lowlands where the river coils and bends like a great silver serpent, one finds almost a new flora. It varies from the bright green of the water algae to the sparsely invading pioneer elm. Over near the river great groves of sandbar willows and yellow cottonwoods occur planted there by the vernal showers of cotrom seeds. Among these the frost grape climbs and twines in great festoons and the purple berried dogwood forms artistic borders. Studded here and there among these trees and farther back towards the highlands appear little ponds and great lagoons of quiet water resting after its mad rush in from the surrounding hills. About the edge of these waters the vegetation forms great belts. Far out near the open water delicate webs of green algae grow. Successionally as one recedes from the water he finds bands of giant-like reeds followed by zones of bull rushes, car tails, bur reeds and sedges. Farther back lazy herds graze on the tall meadow grass or the industrious farmer has taken up his abode. Intermittently among these belts grow great patches of wild Iris whose purple flowers decorate the landscape and extend their hospitalit to the droning honey bee. Also clumps of the sturdy button bush put forth their dark foliage and later delight the eye with a veritable array of white June flowers. Still more remote from the water the wild climbing rose weaves its gracefully curving branches into arches of great Horal beauty. In these lowlands the flowers and grass and trees might seem to the untrained eye to be planted, too, without order or arrangement, but to him who sees how- different! Here the plants in successional sequence, as on the highlands, contend and vie with one another for space. Incidentally, too, by slow accumulation they fill up the waste water places of earth and make them habitable for man. Such is the beauty and the dynamic role of plant life about Peru. In variety it is unsurpassed in the state and to him who hath eyes it is an open book, a fountain of pleasure, meaning and delight. 77 c Prrui hu} fo s t 'H 7'f(I H T ( Y. M. C. A. Y. M. C. A. BANQUET Groundhog day was memorably observed by the men of Peru by the staging of an informal banquet, not soon to be forgotten. Several “hot hand” games in the truest sense of the word were indulged in as a preliminary warming up feature until the full number of the men arrived. When the roll call was pronounced complete a bread line was formed in the hall and all proceeded to file into their places at the table. Speaking of the feed, too much cannot be said. Special credit should be given to the home economics department presided over by Mrs. Jean and Miss Wade, with Funny Roetteger featuring. There was more than plenty of chicken and trimmings for all, and those present certainly did it justice. After even Mack Hedges and Paul Kidd had refused another helping, President Sandberg introduced the speakers of the evening. President Hayes was announced as the prelude, which in his own words means the little introductory act before the main show begins. Dean Rouse followed President Hayes and in a short but pointed talk brot out the good which the Y. M. C. A. could accomplish in connection with school life. He particularly pointed out the dangers connected with philosophy and social life which in a measure can be overcome by Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Holcomb, college worker of the Y. M. C. A. and formerly secretary at Ft. Omaha gave the main talk of the evening. He first spoke of the materialistic phase of the war and from this developed the three big phases, love, sacrifice and service, concerning the men engaged in the war. He emphatically stated that after all, if this war is to be a success two things are to be accomplished—the stamping out of the hate which is now being enkindled in our men against our enemies, and the uplifting of the moral standards of the soldiers. This work can be accomplished only thru the Y. M. C. A. workers. The Peruvian tots The Glee Club Party On Monday evening February 25 the two glee clubs were entertained by Dr. and Mrs. House at their home, and I know we shall all look back upon that evening as one of the pleasantest memories of the year. The Houses have such a delightful way of making everyone feel “at home”, and our good time began as soon as we had entered the door. For the first part ot the evening we enjoyed a short program. Mrs. Meek gave two very pleasing readings and the Girls’ and Hoys’ Glee Clubs each sang a few of their favorites. After the program we were all ready and glad to enjoy the delicious lunch served by Mrs. House. Of course the lights went out at ten, but that couldn t spoil our good time. In fact the very best part of the evening came then. 1 he candles were lighted, and after the clubs had presented Dr. House with a chair as a slight token of appreciation for what he has done for us this year, we had some old songs by Dr. and Mrs. House. The banjo accompaniment made it seem so “folksy and nice, and the songs were sung as only Dr. and Mrs. House can sing them. I hen we all enjoyed a good informal “sing”. We sang everything from old familiar hymns to darky melodies. Then Dr. House read us a particularly delightful detective story by candle light. When he had finished, some one had the presence of mind to look at the clock and we knew it was time to go. I m sure that every one left with a sincere appreciation of the pleasant evening which Dr. and Airs. House had given us. Y. W. C. A. Banquet On Saturday evening, March 16, the A . W. C. A. cabinet for the corning year was installed. The installation took place in the high school room of the new trainer’s building. Miss Branson was in charge and her remarks were the inspiring, helpful sort, which V. W. girls have learned to expect from her. The talks by the retiring and the new cabinets and by the advisors, made the girls more appreciative of the things the Y. W. stands for and the work it is doing. A few moments’ visiting followed before the summons came which called the girls to the banquet in the domestic science rooms down stairs. The shaded lights and the music added much to the charm of the banquet which would have been thorolv enjoyable by itself. When the last ice cream plate had been removed Miss Rose Clark, the toast-mis- tress, took charge. She called for the following military toasts which were ably and delightfully responded to. Our Retiring Heroes, Fos Brown. Our Rising Heroes, Helen Courtright. Our Commanders-in-Chicf, Duella Barnes. The Rank and File, Fern Huston. 1 he Reserve Corps, Stella Olson. I he banquet was prepared by the girls themselves under the kind direction of Miss Wade, consequently over $14 was cleared. The girls voted unanimously to add this sum to their French orphan fund. N!S hr Prrn nin Junior-Senior Party The big social event is over and will be remembered as the most enjoyable social event of the year. March second, all Peru was astir. The juniors rushed about decorating festively with blossoms, butterflies, and pennants, carrying pillows, flow ers, rugs, and pictures. The seniors alone could look on with anticipation or take a rest in the solitude of their rooms to prepare for the evening of jollity. Dates for this festive occasion had been made many days previous and the more bashful ones had been looking forward to the night when they would have their first date in Peru. So, on the momentous evening the hold, strong hearted braves called for their ladies and wended their way to the new training school building. After the wraps had been deposited in the sewing rooms, and rite juniors and seniors had refreshed their appearance, they assembled in the gymnasium while the orchestra under the direction of Miss Carpenter treated the banqueters to delightful music. As the guests entered the gymnasium they were greeted in cordial w elcome by a receiving line of juniors, who stood eagerly waiting to receive them. '1'lten they were escorted to their seats by fairy-like damsels dressed in purple and w hite, the senior colors. The gymnasium had been transformed into a mystic garden w ith millions of butter- flies dancing in the air. All along the wall cherry blossoms were closely interwoven and looked like cherry trees in full blossom. 'The wire screens in front of the orchestra were decorated with mammoth purple and yellow butterflies with out- stretched wings. Flags of the allied nations were given out to each one. Then those representing each nation assembled in a place designated in the room; and in turn marched from the gymnasium to their respective rooms on the third floor. The Japanese room gave evidence of the work of artistic decorators. 'The four walls were hanks of cherry blossoms, while overhead was a semi-transparent roof, also made of cherry blossoms. A large rug covered the central portion of the floor; and pillows were used for seats instead of chairs. Cooked rice w as served by two young ladies dressed in the Japanese costumes, two selected ones from each nation, the participants being compelled to use chop sticks instead of spoons. The French room was one of great interest to all. 'The walls were decorated w ith the colors and pictures of dear old France. A very interesting spelling contest was conducted in this room. All formality, respect, and gallantry was forgotten as the candidates rushed forward, stepping on roes, pushing, yelling, trying to prevent a victorious attack by the other side. The American room enlisted attention on every side. 1 he decorations consisted of pennants and American sport articles, and typical American games were played. In the Grecian room beautiful pictures were hung on the w alls. A couch with sofa pillows attracted the weary ones tired out from such extensive travel, w hile the more enthusiastic walked around observing and noting the artistic work of ages. Members from each group were selected to perfect some painting. The Peruvian o .s I lu Italian room u as especially interesting with its card tables, baby rack, fortune teller, and roulette wheel, lwery one felt that he was in Monte Carlo, being surrounded on all sides by girls dressed in costumes characteristic of the great gambling city of the world. Some walked around with their hands on their pocket books, others seemed to have no fear of being gulled and took part in everything. The (i rear Britain room was decorated only with a large Hag of the country which hung on the wall at the back of the stage. The most popular dancers of the age appeared on the stage. After the dancing, various national airs were played on the piano and the guests were requested to give the name of the song. The bell summoned all the nations back to the gymnasium and much excitement prevailed as the men proceeded to find their partners. After all had found partners, the orchestra began to play and the procession following the senior colors marched to the domestic science parlors where the refreshments were handed out to the bashful couples as they passed by. Then retiring to the gymnasium, the participants partook of the excellent and wholesome repast consisting of brick ice cream, cakes, candy, and coffee; while beautiful maidens pinned purple and white butterflies on each one present. By this time it was nearing ten thirty and in order to keep the newly passed law that “all entertainments must be over by ten-thirty” the seniors withdrew to one side of the room and gave fifteen yells for the juniors; with that came the close of the most enjoyable and long-to-be-remembered event of the school year. Oscar Oakes Junior Picnic A picnic is one of the very best ways of getting together and getting acquainted, so the Juniors planned one for the second week of school. These plans were carried out in a most successful way. The Juniors assembled in from of the chapel at eight o’clock and were serenaded by the Seniors before they started. After demonstrating a great deal of class spirit, we started on our march for the picnic grounds and the Seniors disappeared temporarily. After a roundabout jaunt the Juniors climbed to the other side of “Pikes Peak” to a pleasant spot. The fun began in gathering wood for the fire. After the fire was all aglow, we participated in jolly games. When the merriment was at its height, the Seniors swooped down from the surrounding hills, eager to capture our “cats”. We Juniors formed a solid bank around our “precious food” and waved our banner. The instinct of pugnacity was aroused in all and only after a great deal of effort did the Seniors capture the Junior pennant. After peace was restored, apples, cookies and toasted marshmallows were enjoyed by all. 1 ben we sat around the (ire and told stories and sang songs until time to depart. J. G. B. K. V S 1 tit Pt-ruviein Senior Informal Did the Seniors who failed to come to the informal party on Saturday evening March 9, miss a good time? Just ask one who was present and hear his report of the entertainment I During the first part of the evening we attended a highly enjoyable program at the theatre. The cast presenting this was composed of extremely talented Seniors, who were called on impromptu.

Here we enjoyed the game of “Progressive Pig”. Of course the lights went out at ten, but candles were provided and we played on, each eager to escape being “pig” or “hog”, and to gain the position at the head table. Senior Girls’ Basketball Party After a promenade with our partners through the dark halls, we again sought the gymnasium and received our refreshments. Mr. Wilson entertained us with tricks and puns, while we ate; which we all enjoyed, each one resolving to “catch some one else the next day. The victory of the Senior Girls’ Basketball team over that of the Juniors was duly celebrated on the evening of January 28th in the High School Gymnasium. It was at this time that the senior class attempted to show, to some extent, its appreciation of the work of this splendid team. All the heroines managed to escape from the various “traps’ set by some vengeance seeking Juniors, and when the party could at last be called to order, the class president presented the team with beautiful roses in behalf of the class. Miss Hoffman, the captain, responded, saying that the support of the class was largely responsible for the victory. The rest of the evening was spent in playing Progressive Somerset. Victrola music also added to the evening’s entertainment. As has been the custom at all our social gatherings this year, “Hooverized” refreshments were served, and after giving three rousing cheers for the team, the class dispersed patiently to await the coming of another enjoyable occasion. , N ' The Nebraska Academy of Sciences The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences was held in Peru, Friday and Saturday. May 3 and 4, 10IS. This was a notable session in several respects, not the least of which is that this is the first meeting of the Academy not held in Lincoln, and marks without doubt the beginning of a change of policy by the organization. A recommendation was adopted to hold every alternate session hereafter outside Lincoln, so as to bring the work and purposes of the organization to every science man and woman in the state. The session began with a dinner in the T. J. Major’s Training Building at 7:45 P. M., followed by an address on Chemistry mul the If nr by Dr. F. W. Upson, head of the chemistry department of the University. The Saturday session began at 8:00 A. M. and continued till 12:00 M. when a picnic luncheon was served on the campus. The afternoon was spent in various excursions to study the topography, flora and fauna of Peru. Interesting discussions marked the program throughout, including: Some Topo- graphic Influences of the War, by Miss Rose Clark of Peru; Folk Lore Collectanea, by Dr. Louise Pound and Miss Lenore Burkett of Lincoln; Conservation of our Sci- entific Resources, by Prof. J. C. Jensen of University Place; The Total Eclipse of the Sun, June 8, 1918, by Prof. W. F. Hoyt of Peru; Transpiration of Conifers and Broad-leafed 'Frees, by Miss Annie Mogensen of Lincoln; and The Influence of Food in Controlling Sex in Rotifers, by Prof. D. D. Whitney, of the University. Owing to lack of time, Professors J. F. Weaver and M. H. Swcnk voluntarily waived the dis- cussions of their themes, the most regrettable incident of the session. After a delightful luncheon on the campus, various excursions were organized and undertaken. 'Flu sessions throughout were marked by unusual good fellowship and enthusiasm. Not a little of the enjoyment of the first session was due to the music rendered by the Ladies’ Quartet of the Normal under the leadership of Dr. House. It is believed that the Academy in this session in Peru has inaugurated a policy that will result in a much increased membership and a much wider interest in scientific work and accomplishment in Nebraska. So mote it be! For the first time in years, also, the Academy has at its disposal funds for the publication of its proceedings and discussions, and it is devoutly to be wished that this will result in continuous annual publications hereafter. 1 he retiring officers of the Academy arc: President, F. C. Jean, Peru; Vice-President, A. M. Brooking, Inland ; Secretary. M. H. Swcnk, Lincoln; and Treasurer, A. J. Mercer, Kcarnev. The officials selected for the coming year arc: President, D. D. Whitney, Lincoln; Vice-President, Miss Emma Hanthorne, Kearney; Secretary, J. C. Jensen, University Place; and Treasurer, A. J. Mercer, Kearney. Among prominent visitors not represented officially or on the program were Profes- sor G. D. Swezey, Mrs. Swank, and Mr. Goke of Lincoln, Professor Hays of Univer- sity Place, and Misses Ludden and Mrs. A. J. Mercer of Kearney. The meetings were marked for good attendance and great interest in the discussions. Peru and the Normal arc honored by this session that has inaugurated a new policy and a new era in the Nebraska Academy of Sciences.

It is one of the few organizations of the school that does serious work in the field apart. It provides an opportunity for each member not only to enjoy seeing the production of the plays that are presented, but also to take part in at least one play. The plays that have been presented this year are: “A Dinner with Complications,” “1'he Philosopher of the Apple Orchard,” “Yes and o,” “Parried,” “A Proposal under Difficulties,” “Man Proposes,” “Barbara,” “Make Believe,” and “Lend Me Five Shillings.” The Club also gave a Red Cross Benefit program at which the three plays, “How the Vote Was Won,” “Guiscppina,” and “When Love is Voting,” were presented. The most important production of the year was Mason’s “Green Stockings”, which was successfully presented by an able cast under the direction of our adviser, Miss Dunn. The Pena tun rns 'Dianias.

By A. A. Thomas CAST OF CHARACTERS Stuart Randolph.. John Behlcn....... Richard Bidden.... Irene Randolph..... Emily Ladew....... Nora (the maid) ..Roland Tyson LeRoy Clements ...Oscar Oakes ..Lorena Travis ...Hazel Horst ...Vashti Cone Stage Manager, Victor Toft STORY OF THE PLAY “Her Husband’s Wife” is a most amusing comedy farce. The author starts with a farce, but before the final curtain falls, it is raised to the dignity of a comedy. The three acts of the play take place in the living room of Stuart Randolph and wife, in the United States Hotel, during the racing season at the Spa. Mrs. Randolph is living with the constant belief that she comes of a short lived family and that she will die soon. Thinking that death is not far away she is anxious to find a suitable wife for her husband. She wants someone who will see to his comfort and be a sort of mother to him. Of course she is careful to choose someone who is “plain” and who “would not he likely to let him forget me”. Finally she selects an old schoolmate who has always been very modest and retiring, almost motherly, in fact. But when Miss Ladew learns of her friend's wish she feels that it is an insult, and resolves to revenge herself by agreeing all too quickly. Instead of remaining quiet and retiring she blooms forth in the most elaborate gowns, and shows herself to be very attractive, indeed. Mrs. Randolph almost immediately regrets her bargain, and no longer has any desire to die. She turns all her energies to preventing her self-selected successor from at- tracting her husband. Richard Bedding and Emily who had formerly been engaged now meet again, and it is Richard instead of Stuart who takes Emily to the races; and Stuart apparently forgets her existence. But Irene doesn’t notice this, and she paints her husband as black as possible in order to dissuade Emily Ladew from her imagined choice. She points to a bruise on her arm, declaring that Stuart has beaten her. When Emily is not terrified by this prospect, she informs her that Stewart is an habitual drunkard. But this only aids Emily in her revenge, for she reports what Irene has told her, and, of course, complications arise. Finally, all ends happily through the aid of John Belding, the benevolent, amusing uncle of Irene. Emily and. Richard announce their engagement and Irene’s jealous excitement is changed to sis- terly love. Furthermore, she decides that death is not so near after all. I hi l m runt IS The P eruvuui ' , s 7 Whs ;«• I'ct urum ) A The Y.W. C. A. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had more changes in our Cabinet than usual, this past year has been a most successful one for our Y. W. C. A. Our Presi- dent, Miss Snell, was called home last fall leaving our Vice-President, Miss Swan- holm, to ill her place until the end of the first semester. Miss Christensen and Miss McDonald also left us at the end of the first semester. The predominating feature of our Y. W. C. A. work this year has been that of gjving. We have adopted a French orphan, contributed to the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. War Work Fund, and increased our regular pledge for the foreign missionary work in China. Two delegates were sent to the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Convention in Omaha, October 26. The purpose of this convention was to find out how much each Nebraska school would contribute to the $50,000 pledge made by our state representatives. Peru’s contribution was five times her pledge. Five girls attended the convention at Crete in February, bringing to us the message which resulted in the organization of eighteen Fight Week Bible Study Classes. Although wc have been very busy, the social side of our Association has not been neglected. Once each month we have a Kensington which is carefully planned for the girls’ pleasure and enjoyment. In January we had a “Kid Party” and in March we had our Installation Banquet to which all the girls of the school were invited. i h I ,N 77i« [{van, Wrrlh. Turp y. I'rwJi.'iszkn. Sh« nk:i Wolf.

Sny«l«-r, Normal Catholic Association I hroughout the entire year the Normal Catholic Association enjoyed the privilege of hearing Mass every second week at the home of Mrs. Jack. Meetings have been held every Sunday in the rest room and short services have been held every Wednesday and Friday evening during Lent. Although we greatly miss our able adviser. Miss Mullen, much interest has been shown at the meetings. Officers for the current year were: Pearl Regan, president; Margaret Donahoo. vice-president; Ella Bickcrt, treasurer; Margaret Ryan, secretary; Anna Wolf, Nor- mal ite reporter.

Dotl.f The Normal Lutheran Association The Normal Lutheran Association was reorganized in the fall of 1917 with a mem- bership of about twenty young people. The officers elected for the current year are as follows: President....................................Amalia Schmidt Vice-President.......................Lora Detlef Secretary............................Alvin-a Selk Treasurer....................................Lottie Deubler Pianist........................................Anne Arvidson Librarian.....................Catharine Lieneman Meetings led by various members of the Association have been held Sunday morn- ings at 9:30 o’clock. Sermons were delivered twice a month by Rev. Sicbert during his residence at Humboldt. The informal social meetings held throughout the year were indeed a pleasure to all and served to establish a closer bond of fellowship. It is the sincere wish that this organization be continued and that its future members may derive as much benefit and inspiration from the meetings .as the Lutherans of 1917-18. 10 IS 7ie Pt’ruvrtiu Philo When the members of the Philomathean Society learned that their competent ad- viser, Miss Bowen, was to leave them and take up work in the Chicago l'niversify, their regret was almost immeasurable. Every member was aware of her interest and untiring efforts to make this year a greater success than previous years have been. She spared nothing in order that she might give the society the best. It was a difficult undertaking to try to find some one to take her place but .Miss Burley has undoubtedly made a very able successor. Her keen wit and veritable love of the clean and moral side of life have made her a most proficient adviser. I he society was indeed fortunate in securing her as its confidant. The programs this year have been far above reproach in their aesthetic and educa- tional value. Each program was indicative of genius, originality, and versatility in the participants and directors. Surely there was no dearth of talent, and contrary to the custom in most organizations the unusually talented ones have not been imposed upon. Everyone was given an opportunity to display his ability. It is that spirit of willing- ness and cooperation with which every Philomathean is imbued that makes the socictv so progressive. Its accomplishments have not. however, been confined wholly ro flic organization. When the call to buy Liberty Bonds was issued, Philo promptly stepped forth and purchased five bonds. It has also subscribed seventy-five dollars to the Y. M. C. A. Students’ War Fund. Heretofore the predominating aim has been to serve only the members of the school, but this year it has broadened its field of serv ice, entered into the spirit of the times, and become a universal benefit.
