In the world abroad glorious victory has been achieved, and peace— the peace of sweet freedom— liberty and justice. This book records in se- rious and mirthful chronicles the varied events and im- pressions of the unusual sea- son of 1918-19, as observed in the Peru State Normal School. The First Service Flag A Memorial to Our Brave Soldiers Even the little children know the story of the first service flag and the one bright star that marked it. In that eventful time when the Child of God was born, a flag of light and hope was spread across the heavens and a silver star burst forth. ise men and shepherds saw the star and followed it to the place where the birth of Jesus of Nazareth was proclaimed. These events and others that followed are matters of well- known history. The Child that was born into the world as the star appeared in the first service flag, lived upon the earth and went about among men teaching the lessons of love and kindness and charity. Mis was a life of supreme service and lie con- tended constantly against the forces of hate and meanness and selfishness. Finally the star turned to gold and the world knew that the great sacrifice had been made: the Great Teacher had given His own life in order that others who would observe His teach- ings might live and enjoy life everlasting. Since then the lessons of the first service flag have been taught in every land, and people have sought to emulate the acts of Him whose sacrifices marked the turning of the star from silver to gold. For four long, sad, weary years the birth- day of Christ was celebrated in sadness and sorrow, while the men of many lands gave their lives in a death struggle in order that the principles of right and justice might not perish from the earth. Many stars in our country's service flag were turned to gold. Brave and courageous men sleep upon the fields of France. But they are not dead, for walking in the faith of Jesus they made the sacrifice thru which their souls live on, and the mem- ory of the service they rendered shall live forever as a bene- diction upon the world. Samufj. K. McKf.i.vie. Greetings from the President Even’ year brings opportunity for The Peruvian to put in permanent form for the archives some special feature of school life. The 1919 volume will publish the names of all Alumni and students who served in the World War. This Honor Roll will include more than five hundred names. The number is surprising to our friends, but not to those of us who know' the heart of a Peruvian. Men who early in life enrolled in a normal school definitely dedicated themselves to public service. When their country called, they could not refuse larger service. We arc proud of these men. We rejoice that so many from the ranks and at Officers’ Training Schools won their commissions. Words are so meaningless when we conic to speak our appre- ciation of those who made the supreme sacrifice, but the years of our lives will not be enough to blot out their memories. As they died to make the world safe for Democracy, shall we not here and now' dedicate our lives, our talents, and our pro- fessional honor to so teach and live that these dead shall not have died in vain? As America leaps from Isolation to World Leadership, she goes forth with confi- dence because her heart is true. May the Class of 1919 and all other true Peruvians play each his part in the making of young citizens worthy of such responsibility. In our devotion to larger causes, let us not forget that the war has worked havoc to our Alma Mater. The enrollment is the smallest in years. r he spirit is fine. The faculty is more devoted and, if possible, more sympathetic toward the student body than ever before. The physical equipment is being materially improved from year to year. Rally to your old school! Sing her praises from the hilltops! Exalt her name in the valleys and spread her fame abroad upon our western prairies that an ever increasing stream of students may be coming Pcruward! The school authorities are putting forth their best efforts to live up to the traditions of the school and to meet the obligation newly thrust upon them in this reconstruction period. In the final analysis, how’ever, the future of Peru rests with you, Class of 1919, and with like groups which have preceded yours. Peru will be judged by your lives and your professional service. We trust you. Heed this message from your Alma Mater. “Do you know that your soul is of my soul such a part, That you seem to he fiber and core of my heart, None other can praise me, as you, child, can do, None other can pain me or please me as you. “Remember the world will be quick with its blame, If shadow or stain ever darkens your name, Like mother, like child, is a saying so true, The world will judge mother largely by you. “Be this then your task, if task it shall be, To force this proud world to do homage to me, Be sure it will say when its verdict is filed, She reaps as she sowed, this one is her child.” —Adapted.

I rained teachers must be procured in far greater numbers than at present in order to supply the ever increasing demand, or “Democracy will not he kept safe” for coin- ing generations. Peru has equipment enough to keep in training one thousand teachers annually, which is none too many to supply the demand in her own territory. Now is the time for every alumnus, former Peruvian, and friend of education to encourage young men and women to prepare for the profession of teaching, by attending Peru. I he pledge of Peru Alumni is: “I hereby pledge myself to persuade each year someyoung man or woman to enter school, to prepare himself fir herself for the teaching profession—which I believe to be the noblest profession.” man may build a monument of the finest grandeur, but in time it will crumble t0'II1 ' C may aC 1ICVe ame an become a world character, yet in ages to come lie e forgotten, but a teacher who trains a child for righteous living, builds for etermtv. . i j Normax Lovell, ’i a I he only alumnus to pav i MJPreme sacrifice on the battlefields of France. Norman Lovell lo a host of Peruvians, Mr. Lovell’s friends, the news that he had paid the supreme sacrifice for world de- mocracy came as a stunning reminder of the awful ness °t war. He was killed at his post, somewhere in the embattled lines of France, early in September. We all remember with tenderness and gratitude the kindly, rc- fi'ied, peace preferring young man, whose fingers added so ni,K b to the world’s beauty as they gave us stirring and sympathetic music, and whose voice and presence so gladly lent themselves to inspiring great numbers of boys and girls in Peru, in Louisville, Kentucky, and in Salina, Kansas. May our school ever do him honor and may heaven b!“ss his memory as a model of fine, clean, and whole- some young manhood. M DR. V. A. CLARK Peru has always been fortunate in strong men to guide her destinies. Among the strongest of these was the late Dr. W. A. Clark, who passed to his reward November 13, at his home in Kirksvillc, Missouri. He ranked as one of the best educators in the Central West. “All will remember him as a warm personal friend, a clear-minded, forward-looking leader. No president of this school had a broader academic preparation than Dr. Clark. At that time, he held a Master's degree from the Harvard, and a Doctor’s degree from the Chicago University. Since leaving Peru, he has held two important positions. From 1903 to 1908, he was head of the department of psychology and pedagogy and dean of the Kearney State Normal School. Since that time, he has been head professor of education and psychology at the Kirksvillc, Mo., State Normal School. “It is remarkable that the attending physician could find no imme- diate cause for his death. He simply wore out in service, literally giving his life for others that their lives might be more abundant. No task was too great, no deed of kindness too small for him to undertake for any student or friend. It is a modest estimate that he touched, in their impressionable years, thirty thousand young people. Thru these lives, enriched by this personal touch with a great teacher, his professional soul is triumphantly marching on. He was a man of simple faith, active in all church and Sunday School work. I util the closing weeks of his life, he took an active part in civic affairs, local and national. i : E. L. R.

Yet we can realize fourteen years; we have had the core of his professional life. Yet we can realize but partially and express but fractionally the true value of his service. It is possible to say of some men what we say of proved, sifted, choice books: that they are classical. 1 he spirit of .Mr. Gregg has always struck me as notable for a pure classical quality—delicate, comprehensive, intense. Sure of his ground, aggressive, even militant, he is likewise modest, tolerant, humorous, receptive. Altogether a rare man. doing big tasks and little ones in workmanlike fashion ; courageous in large enterprises, relieving routine of its drudgery by orderly system, happy invention, and compelling good will. Mr. Gregg will never lack friends wherever he may sojourn ; but he can never meet with any who Care more for him than do his former students, associates, and neighbors in Peru. H. C. H. I % I 1 I p.

I As each High School class enters into its normal work, the members of that class, being classified as Freshmen, have a great many things to look forward to; many decisions to make, as to their preparations for their life work; learning to adjust themselves to new situations, broadening their minds for the greater achievements, and in so doing making them- selves fit for the betterment of their country in edu- cation, moral, and religious lines. In doing these things, as the minds of the young Classmen are as yet undeveloped, immature, and inexperienced, it is necessary to be led by some older person who is capable of helping students, make the choices that must be made and acting as advisor to the class in its various activities. Two years ago when w e, the Class of ’20, entered upon this stage of life, we chose for our class ad- visor, Professor O. J. Palmer, of Aurora, Illinois, instructor in the Manual Training Department. Under his very able guidance and leadership the class pushed its way forward until in the spring of 1918, he answered to the call of his country. Although we deeply regretted losing such a capable and enthusiastic leader, one who entered most heartily into the spirit of the class and endeavored to help carry out its many enterprises, we are extremely proud to have known and to have been privileged to work with such a man. O. J. PALMER 1 I j ! i I g n % $ % I JUNIORS The Juniors have been especially active this year and have certainly shown the right spirit. The ambitious Seniors have always been anxious to get ahead of us. Early in the fall, wre planned a “Get-acquainted picnic.” We were followed to Joy Hollow by the Seniors, but we slipped one over on them and spent a very enjoyable evening, playing games, singing songs, and telling stories. One of our chief glories is to think that we are the class who reestablished the old custom of the Junior and Senior Banquet. “Pep” has been the chief characteristic of our class chapels. They have been so interesting that other classes have attended a few’—especially the minstrel. As to athletics, well—? ??????? , '4 ■ i % .....ms;.,.......... Vastine, Task ay, Lcmpke, Griffin R.

The old legend that at the completion of animal creation there were several pieces of leftovers and that these fragments were assembled, articulated and animated, thus producing the turtle (ancestor of the modern battle tank) furnishes an illustration of the various sources from which the membership of our class was drawn. The figure may be continued in that under the direction of our adviser. Miss Lena M. Harrington, we have been organized into an irresistible battle tank that has triumphed over all obstacles and has never “turned turtle” on the highway of progress. We have often left our “land battleship” when objectives were in our possession for short diversions of play and recreation. Our first “get together” was a dark-of- rhe-moon picnic on Joy Hill. Before reaching the salient, we were compelled to clear several barb wire entanglements. Prof, and Mrs. Brown were honor guests who were familiar with the best way of breaking thru the slight impediments. Our hearts arc yet warmed when we think of the indoor party in the Gymnasium. Good times? Yes. We must be cosmopolitan and from choice are the most democratic class in school. % j I % msmm Ileywood, Conkle, Laurence, Brown, Hoyt, Fisher, Yeek Cameron, Anderson, Tobblcr, Scars, Clark, Meyer The Junior High School 1 he Peru Junior High School, consisting of seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades, has maintained its former high standing this year under the able direction of Dr. G. C. Cast. The course of study has been organized to meet the needs of the youth of Peru and vicinity, and and effort is being made to adjust the work to the special needs of indi- viduals. Normal students who are preparing to enter Junior High School work find here an excellent opportunity for practice, each in his special line, as well as to conic closely in touch with some of the problems of Junior high school organization and administration. The plan of supervised study, inaugurated last year, has met with gratifying results. The high school pupils is by this means guided thru his difficulties and the student teacher profits by the experience in dealing with this most important phase of school work. Vocational training is being introduced thru the English work and in a series of talks to the boys. A carefully-planned, well-rounded course of physical training and athletics is given to both boys and girls. The boys of the high school basket ball team acquitted themselves very creditably in a series of games during the season. Each class has its own organization, and class chapel exercises, school activities, and social functions are planned and directed by the pupils themselves, thus encouraging the initiative of the pupils and developing the quality of self-reliance. i he Junior High School contributed very liberally to the Allied War Relief Fund. It is also enrolled with one hundred per cent membership in the Junior Red Cross, and evidence of the pervading spirit of thrift and patriotism. ■ V ■ :• -....... w I s Doane, Farley, Parriot, Whitfield, Pettit, Karnes, Lewis Harajian, Kogle, Chase, Carter, Chase, Gregg, Bailer High School I I ' ; : I I Juhl, Juhl, Biggs, Wills, Brunsdon, Rhodus, Polston, Harajian Bath, K.

Ralston is one of the Peru boys that went over the top to fame in the great adventure of war, having been one of the few Americans to attain the rank of ace as a fighter i:i the living squadron. As he was one of the earliest volunteers for the aviation corps, this country did not have necessary training schools, so he went to Canada to train with the aviators of “Our Lady of the Snows , at T oronto. Later he was transferred to Kelley Field, in Texas, as an instructor in training American aviators. His final training was received in England near the prehistoric Druid monuments, at Stonehenge. For a time he was employed in the cross-Channel service between “Blighty and France, but got into the active service soon enough to down his fifth Hun machine before the armistice was signed. Whatever his career and accomplishments, past or future, he is likely to remain as “Wab” to his friends in Peru—the boy incarnate, athletic, daring, mischief-loving, but always manly, and generous to a fault. He was perhaps the most popular and best boy in school in all student activities, from athletics to V. M. C. A. work. His penchant for mischief led him into many a prank in any departure from strict justice in himself and others, and that led him to do good work in his classes. As in the departure for the great adventure of war, so in the greater adventure ot life, we echo Riley in saying, Goodbye, Wab; take kecr of yerself. ou have etched your name on our hearts, as well as on the windows of the Science Building. W. R. Hoyt. Milton I.;iiuinlt C:� rl Mackprang 1 V Admission to S. A. T. C. Lieutenant Harry L. Swan I Ik Students Army I raining Corps was organized primarily for the training of officer material for the speedy winning of the world war. 1 he secondary object was to give the men an opportunity to continue educational work, further work was planned for intensive training in special lines to fit them i°r officers or for experts in various branches of war work, such as gasoline engine repairing. One example of required work in allied subjects was the War Aims course, which dealt with nineteenth century history and the real aim of the leaders of German thought. 1 he registrants were inducted into the service by a local board of transfer which ''as, in each case, the board nearest the unit. By this plan much time was saved at depot hi igades, because the “sorting out” was done by a process of educational elimination in small groups and this made it possible to speedily and effectively discover the most piomising material for officers and experts for the winning of the war. J he Students’ Army Training Corps was raised and maintained by direction of the President, under authority confirmed by Sections 1. 2, 8 and 9 of the Act of Congress, approved May 18, 1917, known as the Selective Service Act, authorizing the President to increase temporarily the military establishment of the United States. I he additional authority was under General Order No. 79 of the War Depart- ment, dated August 24, as follows: “Under the authority conferred by Sections 1, 2, 8 and 9 of the Act of Congress, approved May 18, 1917, the President directs that for the period of the existing emergency, there shall be arranged and maintained by voluntary induction and draft, a students’ army training corps. Units of this corps 'll k(‘ authorized by the Secretary of War at educational institutions meet require- ments laid down in Special Regulations.” I he leaders in the movement saw and took advantage of the plant, equipment, and organization of the colleges and saw that these things could be effectively utilized for training young men for the existing emergency. In order to select the highest possible type of young men for the service, require- ments of a very high standard were set for schools which were permitted to organize a Section A unit. Where such Section A units were established in which officer material was trained, the requirement for admission to its regular curricula was graduation from a standard four-year secondary high school, or equivalent, which provided a general or professional curriculum, covering at least two years of nor less than thirty-two weeks each. 1 he establishment of a vocational section, known as Section B, was authorized at any institution having an adequate shop and laboratory, and staff of instructors capable of giving approved vocational training of military value. Requirements for entry into Section B was a grammar school education, or its equivalent. Besides educational tests in this section, there were trade tests, used to determine the degree of expertness in any trade and the time required for training. The Collegiate section of S. A. '1 . C. units were recruited in the first instance by voluntary induction of registrants under selective service regulation. The Committee on Education and Special Training made contracts with the various institutions for housing, feeding, and educating the men, and the men were placed upon an active duty status immediately upon induction ; in other words, the registrants became soldiers in the United States army and as such were immediately subject to military law and discipline at all times. The qualifications of the individual were the determining factors in whether the registrant was to be sent to an officers training camp, a non-commissioned officers training camp, or a depot hridage, or whether he was to continue in certain cases either with a collegiate or vocational section for such technical or special training as the needs of the service required. Registrants engaged in such studies as medicine, engineering, chemistry, and the like were put into short courses of intensive training for highly specialized work, as, for instance, a student of chemistry who was prepared for the gas section. Those registrants who showed no special qualifications were sent to a depot brigade, such as Camp Pike or Camp Grant, where they became “buck” privates just as if they had gone directly to the depot brigade from their local hoards. The S. A. T. C. was administered by the War Department through the Committee on Education and Special Training, assisted by an advisory educational hoard, together with educational directors, regional directors, and special advisors. The War Department provided officers commissioned in the United States army to serve as commanding officers with other officers in proportion to the strength of the unit. THE SCOPE OF THE TEACHING The educational work at each institution was put on a basis of partly military and partly allied subjects. T he arrangement of the number of hours which was devoted each week to various subjects was: Military subjects, including practical instruction, drills, etc., and theoretical instruction, and physical training, thirteen hours; allied subjects, including lectures, laboratory instruction and the necessary preparation therefor, forty-two hours. Each hour of lecture or recitation required two hours of supervised study. Regional directors were authorized to approve courses which they cWmed suitable subjects for ratification by the educational directors. In the program of study in allied subjects, it was mandatory to include one course on the underlying issues of the war, occupy three class hours per week, with cor- responding time for study. This War Aims course touched the fields of history, government, economics, philosophy, modern history and English composition. Military Instruction SliRGEAXT Cl.AlDE W. AIcReYNOLDS As the primary purpose of the Students’ Army Training Corps has been to utilize tlu- executive and teaching personnel and the physical equipment of the educational institutions in the training of officer-candidates to meet the needs of the service, military drill plays a very important part in the curriula of both the Collegiate and oc.itional sections. I lie objects and advantages of military training are many, the most important hung the building up of discipline, the habit of obeying, which is absolutely essential to the smooth running of a military machine. In order to insure the success of any maneu er, the will of the commander as expressed through his subordinates down tin line from the second in command to the squad leaders, must be carried out by ticrjone. Next in importance comes teamwork, where individuality is eliminated and the men of each squad work together as a single man. Being able to work side b side with the man next you, cooperation in its largest sense, leads to perfect control of the body, which, with the habit of discipline that the soldier acquires, leads to control of the mind, this being a most important factor in success in any walk of life. Further advantages of military training are, orderliness, self-confidence and self-respect. In the military service, order and system are watchwords. The care that the soldier is iequired to give at all times to his clothes, accouterments, and other belongings instill in him habits of orderliness. Self-confidence comes from one’s ability to do things. 1 he soldier is taught to do things for himself. He is told to do a certain thing, but the manner of accomplishment is very seldom included in the order. As his own rc- souices are thus called into action, confidence in his ability is therefore established. Respect for constituted authority, which is a part of the soldier’s creed, teaches him respect for himself—self-respect. Last, but not least, is the sound body which invari- ably follows military training with its drills, marches, and other forms of physical exercise. A sound body means good digestion, strength, hardiness and endurance, which are among the greatest blessings of life. 1 he S. A. T. C. was organized as Infantry. The divisions are as follows: Pla- toon, forty-five to fifty men; company, four platoons; battalion, four companies, and regiments of three battalions. If a unit should contain one hundred men or less, it was organized as a company with two platoons only. 1 he alio ted time to drill for the collegiate sections was eleven hours per week, and for the vocational sections, fifteen hours and thirty minutes per week. For the col- legiate sections the time was divided as follows: Four drills weekly, of two hours each; two hours weekly theoretical instruction; one hour, on Saturday, for inspection. The objects sought and the methods of development may he divided into four classes: A. Discipline, by concentrating on mechanical perfection of close order drill, salut- ing, ceremonies, etc. I:! 1� . I h sical hardihood, b physical drill (calisthenics), military athletics and bayo- net exercises. C. Confidence in power of rifle, by target practice, aiming drills, Manual of Arms, etc. I . Offensive spirit b bayonet exercises. Weekly schedules for each drill period were prepared by the commanding officer. 1 hi.s always varied in the phase of subjects to be covered in each drill and the time allotted to each subject. I oi lowing is a sample of weekly schedule for two hour drill period. 7:40 A.M.—8:00 A. M. Calisthenics (Setting up exercises). S :0() —8:45 Close Order drill. 8:45 “ —0:10 Extended Order drill. —9:40 Manual of Arms, Bayonet drill. 1 he object of calisthenics is to develop and strengthen all parts and muscles of the human body. I his is done by various exercises which call into play, all the muscles °f the back, the legs, the arms, and all other parts of the body. In close order drill, the strictest attention is paid to all the little details, all move- ments being executed with the greatest precision. In order to control and handle bodies of men quickly and without confusion they must be taught to group themselves 1,1 an orderly arrangement and to move in an orderly manner. For example, soldiers are grouped or formed in line, in column of squads, column of files, etc. Extended Order drill is the fighting drill. Modern firearms have such great pene- tration that if the soldiers were all bunched together, a single bullet might kill or disable several men. Consequently, soldiers must be scattered out—to fight. In extended order, not only do the soldiers furnish a smaller target for the enemy to shoot at, but they also get room in which to fight with greater ease and freedom. I he object of extended order drill is to drill the squads in team-work by which they are welded into a single fighting machine that can be readily controlled by its com- mander. The Manual of Arms is drill in handling the rifles, treating of the different positions the rifles are carried in, of the placing in position, etc. The two hours of weekly theoretical instruction arc given over to illustrations on the blackboard of different movements in both close and extended drill, in which everyone participates as anyone is liable to be called upon to explain and illustrate the movement under study. This is varied with oral tests upon subjects previously studied, definitions, and military tactics. On Saturday, comes inspection for which the barracks, cots and personal equipment must be clean and in order. As failure to pass inspection may mean loss of week end leave, a little fatigue duty, or a term as Kitchen Police, everything is usually in A-l condition when the inspecting officer makes his rounds. discipline is not merely preservation of order, faithful performance of duty and pre- ention of offences—in other words, discipline is not merely compliance with a set of regulations drawn up for the purpose of preserving order in an organization. This in onl one phase of discipline. In its deeper and more important sense discipline ma he defined as the habit of instantaneous and distinctive obedience under any and all circumstances—it is the habit whereby the very muscles of the soldier instinctively oln the word of command, so that under whatever circumstances of danger or death the soldier may hear that word of command, even though his mind be too confused to woik, his muscles will obey. It is toward this ultimate object that all rules of discipline tend, in war the value of this habit of instantaneous and instinctive obedi- ence is invaluable, and during the time of peace everything possible should be done to ingrain into the very blood of the soldier this spirit, this habit, of instantaneous, in- stinctive obedience to the word of command. In some countries discipline has been developed in a manner whereby the soldier as so mured to a habit of subjection that he became a sort of machine. Such a system of discipline, which answered admirably well its purpose, would not do at all at the present time where democracy reigns. Of course the discipline that will insure obedience under any and all conditions, the discipline that will insure prompt and unhesitating obedience to march, to attack, to charge—is just as important today as it ■«s n thousand years ago, but we cannot attain it by the machine-making methods. 1 he system we use must be in keeping with the national characteristics of our people and the tactical necessities of the day, the latter requiring individual initiative. Accoiding to the old system the company commander imposed his will upon a bod of submissive units; under the new system the company commander, backed by authority and greater knowledge, leads to obedient, willing units, exacting ready obedience and loyal cooperation. The company commander used to drive; now he leads. Experience shows that drill, routine, military courtesy, attention to details, proper awards for good conduct, and invariable admonitions or punishment of all dere- lictions of duty, arc the best methods of attaining good discipline—that they are the most effective means to that end. To attain discipline an explanation is necessary to the men of the importance of discipline and its value on the held; also the reasons that make it necessary to subject soldiers to restrictions that they are not subjected to in civil life. 1.11 necessary restrictions or hardships should not be imposed on the men, nor orders issued that have no bearing on their efficiency, health, cleanliness, orderliness, etc. A high standard of excellence should be demanded in the performance of all duties, and the utmost amount of energy exacted. A system of discipline based on the above principles develops habits of self-control, self-reliance, neatness, order, and punctuality, and creates respect for authority and confidence in superiors. D. XL O. Schedule Sergeant .Major Walter G. Johnson following is a sample of the daily schedule of The Student’s Army Training Corps, Nebraska State Normal, Peru, Nebraska: 6:00 A. M. first call. Bugle sounds. Remarks heard in barracks: “Kill it”, I brow that bugler out of the window”, “It’s not time to get up”, “Why don’t the lights come on “1 haven't had fifteen minutes sleep”, “Get on your duds, you’ll be late for reveille’ , Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning, oh, how I’d like to remain in bed.” 6:1;) A. M. Reveille. This is the bugle call which brings the men out for the first formation in the morning for roll call. Immediately after reveille comes Fatigue call, when there is a mad scrambling for brooms, etc., to see who can do the most work cleaning the barracks. 1 ;00 A. M. Mess Call. The boys now proceed to the Mt. Vernon Hotel to a sumptuous breakfast of molasses and bread. Remarks: “Give me a microscope, so 1 can see if I have any breakfast food”. “Ma, (Mess Sgt. D. E. Turkic) sec if I can have any more heifer juice”, “Wish I had a sausage grinder to chew this dog”. :40 A. M. Drill Call. The men march to the Athletic Field and spend two hours in close order drill, setting up exercises, manual of arms, etc. After two hours of such work Recall is sounded and the men return to Quarters. 6:40 A. M. School Call. This is one of the most welcome calls, as the boys are very anxious to go to classes that they may exploit their world of knowledge, and show the learned Profs, how much they have studied. 12:.i0 P. M. Mess Call. Again the Peru Army ambles over to the dear old dorm, trying to be brave, but with a sinking sensation around the heart. On the way they valiantly file their teeth and prepare for the worst. After the noon mess they go to school again until 4:15 P. M. when assembly sounds. Now they go to the drill field, and a number of games are played, such as football scrimmages, baseball, leap frog, running and jumping contests, etc. This period is closed by a short snappy close order drill. All this gives them a very good appetite for mess. 5:50 P. M. Retreat. This is the last formation of the day. All men stand in this formation, while the grand old flag is lowered. 6:00 P. M. The men now feel glad that the greater part of a day’s work has been done. Also they arc very happy as they think about this being the last meal they will have to eat at Mt. Vernon until another day. 7:00 P. M. Call to Quarters. From 7:00 to 9:00 P. M. the men study in the library or have Military '1 actios in the Barracks with the exception or Saturday and Sunday nights. The men arc now off to do as thev please until 10:00 P. M. 10:00P.M. Taps. “Fades the light; And afar Goeth day, Cometh night; And a star Lcadcth all To their rest.” Silence now reigns supreme over the Post save a few peaceful and long-drawn- out snores. Dr. Vance Camp doctor Dr. Vance Blav-Ttced-Oveholt- Mudd-AAcireynoiiJs The Uniform By Corporal G. K. Carpenter. In ancient times, the soldier of any land was always distinguished by some aiticlc of clothing, some symbol of the particular clan or tribe to which he belonged, 01 ot the ideal for which he was fighting. As states, countries, and kingdoms became moie firmly established, these symbols narrowed down to the uniform or distinct type or dress now worn by the soldier of his country. The army represents the country. The uniform of an army symbolizes its re- spectability, its honor, its traditions, and its achievements, just as the flag ot a country symbolizes its honor, its dignity and history. A soldier’s uniform is moie than a mere suit of clothes worn to hide the nakedness of the body; the right to wiai the uniform of his country’s army is not given to every man. It is an honor and a privilege to do so and no individual has a right to abuse this honor and privilege by bringing the uniform into disgrace through misbehavior. The soldier who brings reproach upon his uniform is in the same class as a pi rest who brings dishonor upon his garments. A man in uniform is a marked individual wherever he may go, and he can make that uniform carry honor and respect 01 can make it a thing to be derided, a subject for scorn. It is a fact well known to students of human nature that a man, neat and turn in outward appearance, is apt to conduct himself with decency. Our worst criminals and vagabonds are dirty, ragged specimens. No more brutal deeds, could cvei be recorded than those committed by the ragged mob in Paris during the days of the French Revolution. The carriage and appearance of the soldier is an index to the type of civilization foi which he is fighting, because the soldier is to the army, what the army is to the country, and the army represents the flower of the country’s manhood. Ihcietoic a man, clothed in the uniform so designed that it shows to the best advantage the physical appearance of the wearer, should carry and honor it in such a mannti that the uniform which is the symbol of the country should be respected and honoied b the entire world. Supervised Study By Sot. Dwight K. Tcrki.k All study periods of this detachment arc supervised. A list of all the vacant periods is made in the form of a schedule. At all study hours there is a sergeant in charge who takes the roll and reports all men absent or tardy. Anyone who is late or absent is put on fatigue duty. All work of this kind is done during study hours. This causes the soldier to do extra study. When a man reports to the office for fatigue duty, he is given a rake and set to raking for as many hours as the Captain may direct, or should the windows need cleaning, the soldier has an especially fine job, particularly in the late fall weather. In sonic cases the men have reference work to do. I hey report to the Sergeant in charge and arc excused from the study room and go immediately to the library. Here they have access to all periodicals and late hooks. 'The reading matter on the war work is especially good, for all the men must take War Aims, which gives them a thorough knowledge of the history of the war and an excellent idea of the people, customs, and work of the many small countries of Kurope. The men are required to spend forty-two hours a week in school work. 'They average three hours a day in classes, so the time for study is considerably greater and this gives them an opportunity for outside reading aside from class work. In the evening the men have access to the library for two hours of study. A sergeant is in charge of the men and Mrs. Doom is acts as librarian. reggfim of Ycuth Carpenter TarKIe. Johnson Barracks By Sergeant Fabian '1'. Mud� One of the most interesting phases of a soldier’s life is his life in the barracks, which is his home while in training. We were most fortunate in securing the “Old Train- ing Building” for quarters. The building was put in tip-top shape a few days after the men arrived. On entering the building the first thing of interest is the Company Bulletin board on which all official notices and orders are posted. Every man must keep a keen eye on this board, for any new orders out are put on this board and it is every man’s business to read all orders within an hour after they' have been published. There is a little sign hanging on a door at the left of the entrance which reads, “Orderly Room—Knock. In this room all the official business of the detachment is transacted by the Commanding Officer, Adjutant, Sergeant-Major, First Sergeant, Mess Sergeant, and such assistants as arc needed. There is certainly a lot of difference in the way a soldier enters this room when he wishes to speak to an officer and the way in which a civilian would enter. This is the way the soldier does it. He knocks two or three times at the door (whether it is open or not). When told to come in he takes off his hat, (if unarmed) closes the door, (if it was closed before he entered), and remains just inside the door until asked what is wanted; then he goes within a short distance of the officer, stands at attention, salutes, and makes known his request in as few words as possible, as: “Sir, Private Smith reports to the Commanding Officer for orders”, or “Does the Captain want his car this morning?”, or having finished a task he reports, for instance: “Sir, is the Captain through with me?” On completion, he salutes, faces about toward the door, and goes out, being careful to close the door if it was closed when he entered. If it was not closed, he leaves it open. On the second floor is also the supply room, where uniforms, shoes, cots, blankets, mattresses, etc., arc stored. In the ordnance, the unused rifles and ammunitions, patches and oil for cleaning, etc., are kept. This is also the office of the Supply' Sergeant. First aid, vaccination, and inoculation arc given in the Medical room. The Y. M. C. A. is always filled with men who find recreation in playing games, reading, and writing letters. The room is well equipped having a victrola, games, writing material, a typewriter, latest magazines, stamps, scales for weighing parcels and many other things that make the soldier feel at home. On the third floor in the old assembly hall are our quarters. There the cots arc arranged in eight rows from east to west. The heads of the bunks (as they are called in the Army) are placed alternately with the foot of the bunk next to it. In quarters there is a place for everything and a certain way everything must be done. For in- stance a bunk is made up thus,—three blankets are used. Then the bunk is “made up the blankets next to the mattress is turned down about one-third way and tucked - ■ i under. The other two blankets arc kept folded on the foot of the bunk. Other blankets arc kept under the mattress. Shoes are kept under the bunk next the aisle. 1 lie toes must be together and on a line with the edge of the bunk—opposite the side on which you dress. Suit cases, trunks, boxes, etc., are placed at the end of the bunk which is away from the aisle. A thing which will impress one very much is the cleanliness of the building. Every morning the building is swept and cverthing dusted. Every day a non-commissioned officer is placed in “charge of quarters”. His duties (copied from bulletin board) are as follows: Cleanliness of barracks at all times. Conduct of men in barracks. Conduct of men on campus. Report before drill call all men sick. Make a check report immediately after taps. Make a report on same at orderly room before drill call the next morning. Non-commissioned Officer’s tour of duty is from reveille to reveille, except the Non-commissioned Officer in charge of quarters on Saturday, who’s tour of duty extends forty-eight hours. The report is made in the following manner: The old Non-commissioned Officer reports first, salutes, saying, “Sir, Sgt. Smith reports as old Non-commissioned Officer in charge of quarters. Pvt. Jones late at reveille, or, nothing special to report.” The new Non-commissioned Officer then salutes, saying, “Sir, Sgt. Doc reports as new Non-commissioned Officer in charge of quarters.” He is then given any instructions which the Commanding Officer deems necessary and they are dismissed. They both salute, execute an about face, and leave. The soldier’s day is over on week nights at ten o’clock P. M., on Saturday and Sunday at eleven o’clock P. M. Taps are blown just as the light fades away, and silence reigns until “First Call” is blown the next morning at six o clock. H ealthf ulness V. V. Vamce, M. D. When Uncle Sam declared war upon Germany, one of the first things lie did was to comb the country for capable men to look after the health of his men. As a result, the medical staff of his army consisted of the best medical talent in the Nation. The larger camps were provided with commissioned medical officers, but the demand soon outgrew the supply and therefore the smaller units of the S. A. T. C. were supplied with contract surgeons chosen from among local physicians available near the camps. Every precaution was taken to safeguard the health of the men. They were given a triple typhoid and para-typhoid inoculation which will protect them for three years from an attack of typhoid fever, and two inoculations for small-pox prevention in all cases where the first one was not effective. The Contract Surgeon at Camp Peru made daily calls at the barracks to sec the men who had reported for sick call to the non-commissioned officer in charge of quarters that morning, and as a result the men within the Unit were much better cared for from a health standpoint within the army than they ever had been before. i ■ � ■ . ' - . , ; Dramatic Club H 'four (Adopts a. permanent deal � by tbe Dramatic Club.) Iva M. Dunn Adviser Bessie Lauman President Nellie McAuley Treasu rer Vivian- A. Teicii Secretary I he Peru Dramatic Club has had a successful year in spite of the many vicissitudes caused by the influenza and the coming and going of the S. A. T. C. Not a single meeting was held on time and not one was ever given without some accident or illness breaking up the cast shortly before the appointed hour. Nevertheless, the club has presented several bright and clever one-act plays, such as “Twenty Minutes Under An Umbrella,” “Christmas Chimes,” “A Little Fowl Play,” and “A Brown Paper Parcel.” Among the more difficult ones arc Yeats’ “Pot of Broth,” Brighouse’s Scaring Off of i eddy Dawson,” and “The Green Coat,” by Augier. Contrary to custom, the Dramatic Club gave an open session early in March. Stuart Walker’s delightful “Medicine Show” and the Japanese romance, “Princess Kiku,” were the program that night. 1 he climax of the year’s work was reached in the three-act play, “He and She,” by Rachel Crothers. This proved very successful, for it gave everyone so much to think and argue about. Its modern problem, dealing with a woman s right to work after her marriage, found a responsive chord in everyone and many people are proclaiming it as the best thing ever done by the club. 1 i % A Comedy in Three Acts By Rachel Crothers Presented by The Peru State Normal Dramatic Club Under the Direction of Iva Maud Dunn April Nineteenth, Nineteen Hundred Nineteen, 8:30 P. m.

Overholt The Philomathean Society of 1919 That a society can not only exist Init flourish when others fall by the wayside is certainly proof of its endurance. That it can make us laugh when our minds would fain turn to relatives and friends in camps or trenches, and the scourge of the ‘’flu in our home community, shows its indispensa- bility. That it never fails to have a large crowd proves the attractiveness of the programs. All this can he said of the Philomathean Society this year. As the only surviving literary society it has maintained a large membership, given exceedingly refreshing programs to good audiences and helped greatly to keep up the morale of the school. If perhaps the programs were fewer, owing to conditions over which the society had no con- trol, they have been of great variety and originality. Shortly after the memorable November 11, an Allies’ program was given. America, England, Italy, and France were represented by girls dressed in the costume of the various allied coun- tries. Little color-bearers preceded them on the stage where they gave their native dances. On November 29, a Thanksgiving program, “Ye Olde Tyme Concert, was given in an open session. The curtains opened on an old colonial living room with all the participants in the program dressed in unique costumes of the times, seated about the room reading, spinning, and unwinding yarn. The entire program was one of dignity and grace anti consisted of such num- bers as solo on “Ye Spinnet” and “Ye Olde Tyme Dance” of the minuet. The operetta, “The Helles of Fol-De-Rol, given March 14, was one of the exceptionally fine productions of the year. The stage was artistically decorated with hearts, bells and cupids. The Lady Belle brot her six charming daughters to the Court of the King of Bacheloruin, to permit him to select one of them for his wife. They were all so beautiful he could not decide among them but all came out happily when the King proposed to Lady Belle and the King’s six attendants married the six daughters. The costumes of all were in keeping with the play, and the accompanying songs and dances were very clever. Remarkable ability in the actors was shown thruout. April 11, a Bohemian program was given in honor of the Bohemian students in our school, whose character and scholarship are of the highest standing. Very interesting accounts of the customs and manners of the people were given. There was a description, also, of the Bohemian Athletic Association, which proved its worth to Bohemia in the recent war. We are proud that we are fortunate enough to have so many of this nationality in school. The program of May 9, Philomatheans of Past, Present, and Future, was one of great interest. The closing number, an operetta, In Flower Land, was one of the most beautiful features of the year. There were two purely social events during the year, one a Hallowe’en party with the “puppet show’’ as the chief entertainment; the other a Philo picnic on the pageant grounds. At this time one of the most unique and entertaining ball games of the season was played. Tribute must be paid to Miss Alice Burley, the adviser, for her untiring efforts to make the Philomathean Society stand for an organization of aesthetic and educational value. I I I I I l | I f % I.

The organization grew out of a suggestion of Miss Ellis in one of the girls meetings last fall, that the different groups of girls in the school community form local organ- izations to further social life among the members of each group and to create and conserve student public opininon. The J. U. G. and the various large rooming-house organizations resulted. This proved so satisfactory that a large association that should include all the girls of the Normal was conceived, and accordingly the present Girls Club has been formed. The purpose, as stated in the constitution, is: “To further in every way the spirit of social unity among the girls of the Normal School; to increase the sense of responsibility toward the school and toward each other, and to be a medium by which the social standards of the Normal can be made and kept high. All girls of the Normal School, from preparatories and specials to graduates, in- clusive, automatically become members upon registration. The Rooming-House Clubs, the Home Girls, the members of Mt. Vernon Hall, and the J. U. G.’s are all units in the new club. Each of the above units has its representatives in the governing body. These representatives, together with the officers of the club, constitute the council. All members of the council must have attained the rank of junior, senior, or graduate. The Dean of Women acts as sponsor, and is ex-officio honorary member of the council. Of course, the members of the new association are very enthusiastic. At the same time, they realize that they are to have a large and vital part in forming what will surely be one of Peru’s most important organizations. The officers and councillors, as chosen for the remainder of the present school year are: President, Mrs. Helene Bonekemper, 1019; Vice-President, Dagmar Magneson, 1920; Secretary, Mrs. Dorothy Roettger, 1920; Treasurer, Erma Wilson, 1920. Representatives of the various school units: Mt. Vernon Hall—Lillian Brooker, 1919; Helen Robinson, 1919; Vivian Teich, 1919; Edna Salzman, 1919. T. U. G.

Vernon Hall. Have you ever seen a bunch of girls that looked happier? You can understand now why I didn’t dare to be homesick or lonesome for very long when I first came here last fall. Each girl that had been here before opened her room—a cozy little room —-to cach new girl. Every one became a member of a congenial family, with Miss Cleland as our guardian. She is standing in the front row between the two girls with ukeleles. The dining room is a large room with large windows on three sides, and it contains eleven tables. I’ll never forget the steady babble that is kept up during meals. The parlor is a long room, where a few—a very few—of the girls entertain on rainy nights, while others were having a good time at a “feed”, as only girls can have. Dares and “feeds” are never-to-be-forgotten things in college life, you know. But both of these activities were supposed to be over by the times the lights went out. Oil! that was always an exciting time! The companionship of the girls at Mt. Vernon Hall is something that every girl will remember as a big factor in school life. Friendships that arc established now are a permanent enjoyment and pleasant memory. This picture was taken just before wc moved to various rooming houses. 1 he dormitory is being remodeled now so the girls that will live there next year will have the advantage of many improvements. If you ever come to school in Peru, I’m sure you would enjoy living at Mt. Vernon Hall. A Mount Vernon Girl. ' 1. B i V. W. C.A. Primarily, the V. W. C. A. hopes to meet the religious need of every girl in the organization. The devotional meetings arc planned to foster and develop not only our conception of God, hut to make us realize more completely our responsibilities to society. These devotional meetings are led almost entirely by students, so that an interchange of ideas is made possible. As a second aim, the V. W. C. A. hopes to ill the social need of each member. Nowhere else is such an opportunity given for forming friendships. Our little French orphan, our foreign missionary, and our United War Work fund have linked us in a sympathy with the entire world. We strive to live up to our motto: “Not by might, nor by power, but bv my spirit, saith the Lord.” The Y. W. C. A. to the student is a source of inspiration and advancement. Through it the girls of the school learn to know the true meaning of fellowship and cooperation. As the organization is directed by love, no student finds the duties connected with it burdensome, but, instead, an opportunity. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES 1. Y. W. C. A. delegates met all trains on first day of school to direct and welcome new students. 2. Reception was given early in year for new Y. W. C. A. members. 3. Apple Party, as means of getting acquainted, was enjoyed by every one present. 4. A big indoor carnival, “The Hippodrome,” was enjoyed and $112.00 was cleared. 5. A Hikers’ Club has been organized, and several long bikes enjoyed. 6. The Eight Weeks Club, upon organization, showed a large enrollment. 7. An artistic May breakfast was served to Y. W. C. A. members.

J. Cottle One of the biggest factors in a boy’s life is the V. M. C. A. It is a Christian organization for men. Its influence has served as an inspiration to our boys even though its work has been badly broken into at the beginning of the year. The S. A. T. C. unit being organized, deprived the students who were not eligible to it of all the V. M. C. A. activities. After the disbanding of our army unit, the V. M. C. A. was “up in the air . There had to be some means of getting the organization back on its feet in the school. -Secre- tary Ilolcomb, of the schools and colleges in the state, called together the “V” men and one student, of each school, for a conference of reorganization. The delegates of this conference out- lined the procedure of bringing the V. M. back to the student life. The reconstruction has proven a wonderful success. Many of the boys entered into the work with their whole soul and heart. They have boosted the project from the very start. The plans of the reconstruction have been carried cut to the limit. The Bible-study groups were well organized, and the men took their part with zeal to gain more knowledge of the Bible. The Sunday meetings of “World Problem discussions were as attractive as the Bible-study. These meetings were held every Sunday afternoon. Some member of the faculty would lecture at each meeting. Since the spring weather, the meetings have been changed to Thursday evening. In addition to our regular Y. M. work, we have many good entertainments. The Athletic and Social Committee arranged a number of “stunts”, in which all the boys participate. This feature of the Y has played a great part in accomplishing our goal. The schools represented at the first conference mentioned, held another conference to compare the work performed. There is to he another conference in Estes Park this June. The Estes meeting will be a great inspiration to one hundred and fifty Nebraska lads to reach the goal of the Y. M. C. A. NORMAL CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION We welcome students, old and new, to the Normal Catholic Association. It is the aim of the Association to carry out its religious purposes and to promote friendli- ness and good feeling among its members. It is the sincere wish that the work of the Association be continued and that the fu- ture members may enjoy its many benefits. EPISCOPAL GUILD For many years the Episcopal Guild has carried on a very active part among the religious associations. Owing to the lack of Episcopalians attending the Normal School this year, its work has not been so prominent. But let us hope that its membership may increase in years to come, and that each one may enjoy the same advantages as the mem- bers of former years. Mahle Engler, of the class of 1919, died at her home in Omaha, on December 19, 1918. Radiant with lave, and love's unending power Heme on a new quest, starts an eager spirit— No dread, no doubt, unhesitating forth, With asking eyes; pure as the bodiless souls jrhom poets vision near the centra! throne Angelically ministrant to man; So fares she forth, with smiling, God-ward face; Nor should we grieve, but give eternal thanks— Save that we mortal are, and needs must mourn. Richard Watson Gilder. Mabel Engler To leave the beloved dead mimcntioned seems rude— hence this brief tribute, impelled as it is by affection and respect, to Mahle Engler. A character so finely proportioned and harmoniously knit, puts analysis at defiance. Frail of body, quiet of manner, strong of temperamental reserve—what was the secret of her sweet, strong influence among us? Cultivated and disciplined in mind, gracious and cour- teous in manner, unselfish, frank, tolerant, and sym- pathetic, with a rare good judgment over-topped by conscience — these all are parts of one's conception of this rare, fine girl. “Each eye that saw her blessed her, Each ear that heard her was made glad.” Mattie C. Ellis. We loved her and honored her,—and now she has gone from us. In answer to the eternal question, Why?, the conviction comes with growing intensity, that death is but an incident in life,—the turning down of a lamp wick, to be turned up again, where the air is purer, and the hori- zon is broader. It is the world-old creed of immortality, the continuity of life and its extended development. Miss Perkins was a woman of fine, strong presence. Her beautiful benign face will linger in memory with us always, as the outward expression of her noble character. She was of large soul; to serve humanity with earnestness and sympathy was her one great aim. To this service she had dedicated her vigorous young strength, and her keen, well-ordered mind. Her natural gifts were many; and these she planned to develop, not for selfish ambition, —but that she might be the more ready for the high ser- vice to which she was called. Winifred Perkins Miss Perkins was a member of our training school fac- ulty during the years from 1912 to 1916. In this time, she came into close fellowship with hundreds of Peruvians to whom the thought of her quiet poise and her complete sincerity will prove a calming, steadying influence in their time of stress. Early in November, the ninth grade lost one of its most gifted members, Wilbur Reed Hoyt, a vic- tim of tiie Influenza. Wilbur was a son of Prof, and Mrs. W. F. Hoyt. He was born in Salina, Kansas, Sept. S, 1903, and died Saturday morning, No- vember 16, 19IS, after a sickness of two weeks. He began his school work in Salina, Kansas, but after his par- ents removed to Peru, in 1910, he became a member of the Training School. Wilbur was active not onlv in school but in the community life. He was a boy scout, belonged to the home guards, and a member of the civic garden club. In his scout work he was recognized as a leader. He was a real scout anti met all requirements cheerfully and faithfully. In the garden club he won a silver medal the first year and a gold medal the second year. In a Junior Four Minute Men con- test, held during the fourth liberty bond drive, he won first place for the best speech in his grade. The speech was afterwards given in the M. F.. Sunday School, where Wil- bur was a regular attendant. He was recognized by bis class in the training school as one of the strongest members and best thinkers of the school. Wild hr Reed IIoyt • .

He was a graduate of 1911, and will be remembered for his strong, ambitious young manhood, and his eagerness always to do more than required. He had high ideals and found life worth while. A letter re- ceived from him in January, just after his return from training camp, was full of the old enthusiasm. For such natures there is no death, for the worth while is eternal. Among the victims of the influenza during the year of the great scourge, we are required to record that of A. Percy Stockdalc, son of Dean Stockdale, of the Chadron Normal, and member of the Class of Nineteen Eleven. At the time of his death Mr. Stockdalc was the honored principal of Alliance High School, for which position he had prepared himself by a year’s graduate work in the Peru Normal and another year in the State University. Enthusi- astic for science subjects, wholesome in ideals, Christian in thought and behavior, he left a memory held dear by all who knew him and a world made poorer bv his loss. Pearl Regan will be remembered by her many friends among faculty and students for her ready sympathy, her keen sense of justice, her unswerving loyalty and her undaunted ambition. While her health would not permit her to take a prominent place in main- activities, she was always ready to promote worthy enterprises. She gave, un- grudgingly, many hours of her time to work for The Normalitc and The Peru- vian, and was a leader in the work of the Normal Catholic Association. She secured an appointment to a very attractive position in Washington, D. CM hut rejected it in order that she might stay with her mother. She was holding a stenographic position in Omaha when she contracted influenza, which resulted in her death. It was with deepest sorrow that the friends of Esther Abbey heard of her untimely death in an automobile accident. She attended Peru for two years and endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact by her sweet and sunny disposition and beautiful character. She was a good student, faithful and conscientious in all she did. She was an active worker in the Y. W. C. A. and served as a member of the cabinet. It is hard to reconcile the taking off of such a promising life, but it can be truthfully said that, while her time was short on earth, she lived wisely and well, and all who knew’ her arc better for her having lived. 8 H.

Considering the difficulties and irregularities of the school year, our persevering team, under the direction of capable Coach Roettgcr, strove to uphold the athletic traditions of Old Peru. Captain Ole, our left forward, was our inspiration to the team, because of his tenacity and his power to be everywhere at once. Pete was our persistent right forward. Kidd came in upon his return from the navy and did exceptional work as center. Thomas fought hard from beginning to end. Ivers, Prante, and Kings did splendid guarding, which accounts for the fact that no opposing team run up an exception- ally high score. Although they did not bring victory, we arc proud of their sincerity and courage to fight to the end, in the face of defeat.

These boys began practice at the first of the season and worked persistently and earnestly. Their teamwork was as smooth as the running of a clock. This, with the dis- tinguished work of Gerald Medley, their crack goal shooter, accounts for their victories. They assured Peruvians of their ability by winning from the second team and the Freshmen. Then they started out to show the world what they could do. Brown- villc was easy, but when Auburn came they had to work. The boys put up a good fight, but lost the game to Auburn. We prophesy a bright athletic future for these boys. J I ! 1 P K I I : .� .'S xVsV Boy Scout Organization Troop No. 1 of the Boy Scouts of Peru was organized by Coach Earl Johnson, of Peru State Normal, in April, 1918. Mr. Johnson went to Lincoln in September, 1918, and P. 13. Cope, pastor of the Peru Christian church, was registered as the local Scoutmaster. Last October the boys, under the leadership of Mr. Cope, decided to build a log cabin for their Scout headquarters. The timber was donated by the village board. '1 he trees were cut from the town pasture and hauled by the Scouts. The location, just west of the hotel, was granted by T. J. Majors. With the exception of the fire- place, which was built by Mr. John Longfellow, the work was done entirely by the Scouts and Scoutmaster. The entire expense of the building was fifty dollars. This money was acquired through the sale of paper which had been previously collected and bailed. The cabin is fifteen by twenty feet, inside measurement. There is a good, substan- tial floor made of shiplap. The boards for the roof were donated by Mr. Earle Fisher. The roof is covered with rubberoid. The dedicatory meeting was held about Thanksgiving time. The address was given by President E. L. Rouse. Since then meetings have been held each Tuesday night. From time to time speakers were asked to address the meetings. We now have a troop of twenty-five active members. There are more than twenty Second Class Scouts and a number are working on their First Class test. The boys are enthusiastic and we begin our second year with a great deal of hope.

The School can safely boast of the possession of two of the fastest girls’ teams in the state. Toward the end of their training session, the influenza disabled two Juniors and a weak arch disabled a Senior; but, nevertheless, these handicaps did not keep the Senior Captain, Bill Brooker, who played center, from getting the ball down to Peg Albert, the Senior crack forward. Nor did they keep Helen Williams, Junior forward, from eluding the Senior guard, Clara Arpkc, who kept the Hoor hot, in pursuit of her opponent. When the audience heard a crack, bump, bang! they knew it was one of two things: either Ethel Harman jumping across the field to catch Bill, or else it was the Senior forward, Doris Frye, taking a broad jump plus a glide, after the ball. The Junior Captain Anne Soucjek, showed some fine points in guarding, and, with the help of Eva Clifton. Junior guard, there were some especially fine passes made among the Juniors. Beth Graham, Senior guard, kept her cver-watchful eye on her opponent, while Grace Blough, Junior forward, kept a fair space between herself and her guard. W hen uc heard a whiz in the air, we knew Jess I odd was coming at breakneck speed to pass the ball to the ever-ready Senior forward, Jack Snyder. On the whole, it was a splendid game that will long be remembered by the witnesses. It was a great pleasure to both the students and faculty to be able to look back and think of the fine sportsmanship and the splendid class spirit that existed between the teams, even after the score was called at 21 to 14 in favor of the Seniors. - - : : 2 • i m ' a M Y A ’A Y A ZV .' v 30 2? -. ■ ISA ' vs . % y,' vA V. . V'A I ‘ •? YSA Va Y YSA ' AMP FIRE was first organized in 1911 in an attempt to do for the girls what Boy Scouts were doing for boys. Today, Camp Fire has a member- ship of over one hundred thousand and these girls do things. They have been especially active during the war in the Red Cross and Food-saving Campaigns. Hundreds of French orphans have been adopted. Many things can be told of what Camp Fire Girls do for others, but still more could be told of what they do for themselves. We have three Camp Fires here. Mineio, organized in 1915. This name was taken from the names of the three states that can be seen from the top of Joy Hill. Kwinna was organized in 1918. The name means Eagle. These girls aim for high ideals and patriotism. They are a group of normal girls preparing themselves to be Camp Fire Guardians. Halocafi is now being organized, and its name embodies the desire of the girls to be a Happy Loving Camp Fire. Wohclo is our Watch Word, meaning work, health, and love. “We glorify work, because thru work we are free. We work to win, to conquer, to be masters. We hold on to health, because thru health we serve and are happy. In caring for the health and beauty of our per- sons, we are caring for the very Shrine of the Great Spirit. We love Love, for love is life, and light, and joy, and sweetness. And Love is comradeship, and motherhood, and fatherhood, and all dear kinship. Love is the joy of service; so keep it that self is forgotten.” Its activities are manifold, and appeal to every phase of interest in the girl. Under its seven crafts, Home Craft, Health Craft, Camp Craft, Hand Craft, Nature Lore, Business, and Patri- otism, there opens some avenue of distinct, purposeful and helpful endeavor for all girls. Can you imagine the’ Grand Council Fire of Nebraska where over four hundred girls were present last summer? Four hundred girls were marching single file thru the woods. It is growing dusk and the sheltering hills throw long shadows across a thin glade. This line of girls winds down to the shore of the lake in a silent procession. Three huge fires are lighted, and the simple ceremonies of the Council Fire are begun. The trees on the hillsides are now only dark shadows and up from these shadows creeps a wonderful watchful moon. On the quiet surface of the lake are the shadows, the reflection of the stars, the moon, and the fires. You feel that nature was never so perfect. Across the lake come the voices of the children as they give the Law of the Fire. i..... v.;;.v:r.vwv;;::..... ! Asthef c jDj 7 e n cj s Vvsw ' , n y I i - 4A § % % ' ' Y.

Their position is anomalous. They are neither here nor there. They have gone out and they have not come in. They are pushed from the home and scantily welcomed in the professions. Upon them, without their assent, has been placed often the burden of the family support, but the world has taken only a few halting steps toward making it possible for them to meet this new obligation in any adequate way. Always, heretofore, the status of women, though frequently undesirable, has been fixed. They knew where they stood. There was something static about their posi- tion. Today it is as uncertain as the fate of a new-made flying machine, in the hands of a tyro, flying before the storm. Many so-called opportunities for women dwindle pitifully when analyzed or when compared with similar opportunities as offered to men. It is a happy belief among optimistic groups that the opening of our universities to women and the entrance of women into professional fields furnish abundant proof of the equality of opportunity extended to them. As an illustration of her real position in many universities, I quote from a professor of high standing; nor is he, unfortunately, alone in his point of view. He says: “Of course, I am more interested in the men than in the women in my classes. They have something more purposeful in mind. They will make more use of what I teach them than the women ever will.” This university has hundreds of women students. This is the attitude of many of its faculty members, and in the same faculty the women members could be counted on the fingers of a one-armed person. Such educational opportunities for women are not fraught with any very great future of opportunity or development. Standing on this slippery ground, women are yet called upon to help establish themselves and other women in some recognized position in the economic world. Its like a pioneer trying to build a house while feeling the shifting sand beneath his feet. But the new demand must be met. Women must and will learn to combine the obligation of home, from which they will never want to be free, with the work which they do in the outside world. Nor has it been any intentional bias against women that has brought her into this anomalous position. It has been the result of changing economic conditions which have made politics expedient and social concessions obligatory. Much of the sta- bility of the nineteenth century society has already vanished—social customs and modes of government are all passing thru an eruptive period, and woman has been tossed about in the general upheaval. As college girls come to appreciate the oneness of the cause of all women workers and to value their place among them, they will then do all in their power to cultivate their group ideals and amalgamate their interests. Then, and not till then, will college training take its rightful place as one of the effective means of preparation whereby women may meet life fairly, express themselves completely, and contribute richly to humanity and humanity’s ideals. Mattie C. Ellis. The Great Day B 1 I I I I i I Who can say ever again that November is a dreary month? It was in November— on that wonderful eleventh day of November—that the message of peace was flashed through the darkness around a waiting world. And upon that flash, through land after land, followed light, and singing, and the sound of bells. Shall you ever forget that night—that early morning—when the old bell began to ring on the hill, when Lee Hemingway’s bugle set the echoes flying, and would not let them die? Do you remember the thrill that came as you saw one house after another send light out of every window into the dark? Did you make one in the impromptu procession that shouted and sang their way up and down the streets? Whatever you did, you will never forget that you were one of the millions who began long before the sun rose to celebrate the coming of the Great Day. Ie seemed rather prosaic to eat breakfast as usual—though we did it with good grace. Classes met as usual, too, that morning. But under all the routine there was a common consciousness that it was the Great Day. At chapel we sang “America” as none of us had ever sung it before. Then Miss Rose Clark took us in imagination to the battle line of many nations “over there”, and made us sense the common thank- fulness of white men and brown, yellow men and black, who had lain down that day the arms they had been carrying shoulder to shoulder. Mr. Jean linked America’s past with the world’s future. Lincoln’s vision, he said, led to the establishment of our republic upon the foundation of a lasting union of freemen. As such, we were fitted now to play our part in establishing a new world, founded upon liberty and democracy. Early in the afternoon people began gathering on the Campus for the Peace Day parade. At two, Commandant Beck gave the command, Fall in”. The school band led the way. The flag followed, escorted by a dozen girls in white. Then came the home guards—the older men of the town who had been drilling to do their part if need came. Following the men of the S. A. T. C., feeling a trifle cheated because the war had ended before they got a chance to do their bit. The faculty marched behind them, forming a guard of honor for the huge school flag. Next came the students by classes, and the pupils of the training school. No one wanted to be left out of the procession. The Red Cross workers and the members of the Women’s Relief Corps joined it on the way; and at the foot of the hill a little group took their rightful place of honor at the head—the veterans of ’61, who knew better than any one else the meaning of the word “Peace”. In the street, around the speakers’ platform, the whole town was gathered. We sang again the patriotic songs that the war had taught us really to sing. Chaplain White summed up inspiringly his conception of the meaning of peace. Colonel T. J. Majors paid an eloquent tribute to our army of today—an honor to them, coming from one who fought with the other great United States army. Lieutenant Swan defined forcibly what true patriotism meant, and Dr. House put into memorable words his dream of the new world which is to rise from the battle-fields of today. Another song, and our peace celebration was over. But every one who had a share in it, from the old man to the youngest school-child, sensed in some measure that he had lived through one of the supreme days of the world’s history. Abba W. Bowen. 4 , w I 1 I 1 I I I Literature and the Boy Today, more than ever before, the public schools arc recognizing the value of the study of literature as a powerful formative influence in the early life of children. It is, indeed, a realm of which the average American citizen knows but little; too little, in fact, for his own good. We, as a nation, have done remarkably little in literary achievement. This may be largely attributed to the fact that while our national life has been not at all commonplace, but somewhat stormy, we have been too much concerned with the business of living. Our efforts have gone into other things, as necessity has demanded. We have grown so fast, we have had so terribly much space to grow in, and so remarkably many opportunities and aids to growth, that it has practically consumed our attention. America’s slogan has been “Business” nor is it strange. Not for many years may we expect American literature to come into its own. Not until the hurly-burly of expansion, development, reform, and counter reform has quieted, and we settle down to the rigorous routine of life, when our national axles ave stopped their creaking, and we need not expend our energies procuring legislative oil. Literature has long been neglected in our schools, chiefly because it was not “practical”, and was considered excess baggage in our tumultous life of business. Later, it became evident that other components were necessary in the making of desirable citizens. The knowledge and the love of books is one of the finest gifts a man can have, and one of the most conducive to happiness. As Don Marquis says, “Poetry is the jingle of a few unexpected coins in the shabby pocket of life”. A genuine taste for literature among children, even the more advanced high school students, seems to be the exception, rather than the rule. In many families the school is the only place where the child may come in contact with books, and here he is greatly discouraged. For inasmuch as literature is considered a secondary subject, it is neg- lected, and its teaching wholly uninspired. Uninspired teaching of literature is worse than none at all, for it is here that the literary taste is oftentimes, is even generally created ; and, unfortunately, is quite as often ruined. A boy’s outlook on the world of literature is more than often quite analogous to his outlook on life, his own personal affairs, and his relation to the infinite. The boy, at first, quite naturally and unsuspectingly, believes unreservedly the parental assurance,—that God made all those things which his childish curiosity questions. He believes quite without reason that God made the grass, the trees, the flowers, and himself; that the same mysterious being makes the rivers run, the winds blow; and later that He will hold him to account for his actions during his earthly life. Next, he learns that God apparently has nothing to do with these things, but that they take place in response to chemical reactions and certain clearly defined natural laws. Then comes a period of doubt, accompanied by a serious effort to reconcile these apparently widely divergent schemes of life. Wc follow blindly along our little, narrow path of logic, tripping in entangling weeds, stepping off into quicksands, getting out and going resolutely forward, deter- mined to find this puzzling thing of our dreams. We see certain evidences, that at 22? i .. some time he has passed; we lose the trail, find it again, painfully and laboriously press forward, until we find that we have circumnavigated our little globe of reason, have come back to the very same place and to the very same facts with which we started. We then sec that the path we have followed has been only as a pencil mark upon a mountain, and that instead of finding a glorious end of things, and the creator, the supreme intelligence, revealed, we find nothing—that he is not within reason, but somewhere outside. Then do we begin to appreciate our relation to him. We then experience a sickening sensation that everything is round, and that there is no end to anything; and Hushed with the discovery we are again taken back to find that Whitman, Maeterlinck, and ever so many had found it out long before and knew it all the time. Then is the time, when the bov needs the companionship and advice that literature can give him. For what more inestimable privilege is there than to be able to talk with those who have gone before, fought the same fight, trudged the same weary road, and left themselves behind—between the covers of books. Then does the reading of literature become a privilige, not a task and the exploration of a veritable fairyland. Unfortunately, a literary taste is seldom created in school. If one has it, he must keep it in spite of the schools. So few of our people are genuinely appreciative that they constitute an actual hindrance to others. A boy, bursting with some new-found thot, full of new ideals, hurries to confide it to his fellows. He is met by the fishy stare, the tongue in the check of those who do not understand. He soon learns that to possess ideas radically different from those of his fellows, marks him an object of derision, which he fears, and, like a white rabbit, he seeks a snowbank in which he may hide, assumes the color of his background to escape detection, like a chameleon among leaves. At college, another difficulty presents itself. The professor feels himself possessed of a secret of the direct import. It is this, that the study and reading of literature is not hard work at all, but very easy, a wholly engrossing subject. But to avoid having his classes crowded with sluffers, looking for easy courses, he loads his classes with technical study, inane analysis, and insufferable detail, until the real worth of the course is in the nature of a reward to those who have borne themselves bravely in the struggle. Those who will suffer the minute analysis of insignificant detail, arc seldom those to whom the subject itself appeals; or if they were, the method so camouflages the message that they lose sight of it, and their literary taste is partially or wholly spoiled. How some men must yearn to throw off the mask and teach as they would like! T believe that the extensive reading, even the making of literature is a normal form of human activity; and deserving of cultivation, even by the poor in talent, and that the most crying need of our schools today, is a more effective and inspirational method in the teaching of literature. G. Talbot Hun t The League of Nations m 1 J lie Interallied Peace Conference at Versailles is the culmination of long years of conferences. 1 he two basic ideas of such meeting have always been to settle specific immediate problems of reconstruction and to establish a new order which will render future upheaval unlikely. Former conferences have been concerned with immediate settlements, as in the Congress of Berlin, 1S78. The selfish interests of the Great Power brought about a settlement unsatisfactory to the Balkans and the Near East, and, because of the resulting unrest, was to a large measure responsible for the war just ended. The past four years have marked the height of the world struggle between realism and idealism, and have seen the victory of idealism. To make this victory permanent is the most important issue in the present peace conference. As an instrument for making possible a permanent peace, the conference has turned to the League of Nations. On February 14, 1919, Mr. Wilson, head of the Commis- sion. on the League of Nations, read the proposed Constitution to the assembly. 1 he purpose of the League, as herein expressed is to promote international cooperation anil to secure international peace and security. 1 he Constitution provides for a body of delegates to which each signatory power may send not more than three representa- tives and in which each power has one vote. Representatives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan, and four others are to make up the Executive Council. All matters of international interest are to be controlled by the League, including reduction of national armaments, labor, trade, and colonial questions. An inter- national Court is provided for, to which all disputes between members must be sub- mitted. If a nation does not accept the judgment of the Court, the common econo- mical, military, and naval power of the other members is to be directed against the offender. Any war or threat of war is a matter of concern for the whole League. Disputes between a member and a non-member, or between two non-members, may be submitted to the League if they promise to abide by the decision of the Court. If they do make this promise and fail to accept the decision of the Court, then they must take punishment from the whole League. The Constitution provides for other matters, time and place of meeting of delegates and the entrance of nations into the League, but the two essentials are the provisions for periodical meetings of the international body, and the use of a common power for the sake of common justice. It does not provide for a world government with the nations as separate provinces, nor is it all inclusive, but it is a banding together of democratic nations for the purpose of controlling international questions and difficulties. It makes permanent an association formed in the past four years in the struggle between right and wrong. It is a security for peace. Edith Dort I H I % Dorm Life Oh, Boy! (Beg pardon, I meant girl) It sure is great! What’s great! Dorm life, of course. Lemme tell you, you miss a lot by not staying at the dorm. There’s so much excitement, that you never have time to get tired or anything. You get up in the morning about six-thirty, and in about five minutes the breakfast bell rings (Gee! Whiz! That old clock is slow!) Well, you finish lacing your shoes as you go down stairs, and get into your chair with the greatest possible amount of noise. The girl across from you has her hair up on electric curlers, which show in big bumps thru her breakfast cap. Somebody yells for the muffins and somebody else calls for syrup, and breakfast’s begun. In about nine minutes and a half, you rush upstairs, slap your powder puff across your lack of complexion, and trip lightly away to your Geography class. Of course you have classes all morning, and when chapel’s over you’re ravenous enuf to eat tacks. So you go home to bread and syrup, and boiled beef and potatoes, with a thankful heart. This appetizing fare strengthens your soul for Public School Music, to which you repair. By supper time, having spent several hours in the Library talking with your (or somebody else’s best beau,—more often beaux) you are feeling just right for anything that may come along. Of course, tho, when it does come, you say “My John! Warmed over potatoes again” as do all the elite. You hang around down stairs and wait for “that slow-poke to bring the mail”, and when you find that “He” didn’t write, you crawl wearily upstairs to your books. After about three hours, having received no consolation, you get ready for bed. That blessed sleep, about which we hear in Psychology descends upon you, and your troubles are postponed until the next day. Ruth Pass Early Morning at Bargis x,; I Clear air and grassy lea, Stream-song and cattle-bell— Dear man, what fools we are In prison-walls to dwell! To live our days apart From green things and wide skies, And let the wistful heart Be cut and crushed with lies! Bright peaks!—And suddenly Light floods the placid dell, The grass-tops brush my knee: A good crop it will be, So all is well! O man, what fools are we In prison-walls to dwell! Herman Hagedorn i Confused Images 1 his subject is closely allied to that of general obscurity of expression. We fre- quently make use in our speech of words suggesting to the hearer or reader more or less distinct material images; yet we may ourselves be scarcely conscious of the pictures which our words are making. Our thought may therefore be logical and straightforward enough, while the images by which we seek to convey our thought may be utterly incongruous. For instance, a young college orator had it in mind to present in rapid sequence the main epochs of American History. What he said was as follows: “The ship of state was plowing grandly across the ocean of experience. All went well for a time, but at length there gathered certain barnacles upon the prow of the boat. But she sprang clear of these, and struck deep root in the virgin soil of New England, and there became a fair and stately edifice. She had not, however, proceeded far on her journey before she encountered a gigantic obstacle—and that obstacle was the Civil War!” A glance at the above will reveal the fact that the speaker’s general idea—that of the varied story of our national progress—was perfectly natural and straightforward. Hut he must have been unconscious of his imagery, or else he would have perceived the absurdity of a ship’s leaping out of the icater and rooting itself on the shore. Neither would he have had his fair and stately edifice start off on a promenade across the country. It may be added that to the sensitive reader nothing in the paragraph is more absurd than the speaker’s final flopping descent from the plane of the meta- phorical to that of the literal—“and that obstacle was the Civil War!” Another young orator declared, “Louis XIYr skimmed the cream of French civili- zation and hurled it over into Holland.” But if Louis hurled the cream, he must have skimmed it with his hands (always a messy proceeding) ; and the reader’s mental picture of the bespattered Dutch landscape is far from inviting. The lesson for the student in this discussion is, that a speaker or writer ought to be fairly conscious of the pictures which his words arc likely to make, and should see to it that these arc logically associated. Let us now examine a few further examples of student rhetoric which present complicated or impossible pictures: “Grasp the plow-handles of effort and climb the ladder of success.” But if the ladder-climber had the plow-handles in both hands, he would have to hold on the rungs of the ladder with his heels. “Most parents, when they find a spark of genius in their child, water it and try to make it grow.” But a spark is not the sort of germ that grows by watering. “A deep-seated foundation which can never be eradicated.” One may demolish a foundation, but he cannot dig one up by the roots. “Women are taking the lead in educational circles.” § I n I w 1 % I n This suggests a game of ring-around-a-rosy, or the vivid scence in the old song, “I chased the devil around a stump, And hit him a lick at every jump.” Much is made of mixed imagery in the joke columns of the public press. A much quoted paragraph makes an Irish member of Parliament say: “Gentlemen, I smell a rat! I see it floating in the air! Rut I shall yet nip it in the bud!” A more recent example of this style of humor is taken from The Sacretl Heart Review: “Gentlemen,” asked a Congressman, “a member of this House has taken advantage of my absence to tweak my nose behind my back. I hope that the next time he abuses me behind my back like a coward, he will do it to my face like a man, and not go skulking into the thicket to assail a gentleman who isn’t present to defent himself.” H. C. House, English Form. Curious Observations Ambiguity means telling the truth when you don’t mean to. The constitution of the United States was to surprise the people; they were out on the streets and sidewalks. They all thought there was going to be war. The wagon of constitution went right through the streets. The stomach is just south of the ribs. A mountain range is a large cook stove. The Declaration of Independence was a big town for men and women. The feminine of Duke is Dukesmixture. A corps is a dead gentleman; a corpse is a dead lady. To keep milk from turning sour, you should leave it in the cow. The skeleton is what is left after the insides have been taken out, and the outsides have been taken off. Four animals belonging to the cat family are father cat, the mother cat, and two little kittens. Much butter is imported from Denmark, because Danish cows have greater enterprise and superior technical education to ours. The alimentary canal is located in the northern part of Indiana. The weapons of the Indians are bow, arrow, tomahawk, and war-hoop. George Washington married Martha Curtis, and in due time became the father of his country. The process of digestion causes headaches and much impure blood; fried potatoes often cause digestion. A disinfectant is anything you catch by going where they are. Measles and chickenpox are disinfectants. When you have them, you should stay in the house and keep warm and try not to give them to others. Pimples are not disinfectants, but some kinds are. 1 M i; !

By the ;mc the guests reached the end of the receiving line they felt very much at home, and the rest of the evening they spent in enjoying the entertainment pre- pared for them. Dr. and Mrs. House sang a duct and Miss Dunn gave several readings. Charades and other games were all enjoyed. Hooverizcd refreshments, “I scream”, served by two young ladies were so delicious that Prof. Delzell, forgetting his usual good manners, called for a second dish. Who could attend such a charac- teristic Peruvian mixer and go home still a stranger? The Dramatic Club Reception After almost a week of suspense, the new members of the Dramatic Club received the tiny bit of pasteboard which proved that their “dramatic powers” had been recognized and which bade them come to Expression Hall on Wednesday evening, October 2. This was an occasion when party dresses prevailed, and the few men present were very favorably impressed with the type of girl they found. Very strange it would have been had they felt otherwise, for the girls in their pink and blue and yellow dresses resembled gorgeous butterflies as they gathered in groups around the small tables. Expression Hall, too, was in gala attire in honor of these new members. Small tables were scattered throughout the room. At these small tables various progressive games were played, and Miss Dunn found out just how many embryo poets, artists, and sculptors she possessed. To the two holding the highest score, a box of candy was given. After the lights were out, candles were lit, and in this cozy fashion all enjoyed ice-cream, wafers, and candy. The Philo Mixer Hallowe’en would not be complete did not Philo celebrate in a manner befitting the occasion, with witches and ghosts and fortune tellers. Witches escorted the guests to the cloak rooms, and in the gymnasium a Gypsy told fortunes in her tent. Novelty was added to this Hallowe’en party by an old-fashioned puppet show— and such a puppet show! We were entertained as never before by readers, singers, and even whistlers, bearing such names as Carrota, Jonathan and Wincsap. But the climax of the show was a waltz by Sergeant Ben Davis Turkic and Miss Maiden Blush Elder. After the show, the Virginia Reel was danced to “rag time”. I he rag time did not harm; in fact, it seemed to add zest to the dancing. This naturally worked up an enormous appetite which ice-cream and wafers satisfied. Y. W. Party “Come to the . W. C. A. Party in the new gymnasium and see who gets the1 B. A. P.; L. A. P.; N. A. P.” These unique invitations were issued tor Saturday night, October 12; and all the girls came. After being heartily welcomed, each guest was given a letter and told to find his group. Every group spelled the name of some kind of apple and then wrote a poem about this apple. These poems were read and furnished much enjoy- ment. The judges awarded the prizes. The “Maiden Blush” received the B(ig) A(pplc) P(ie). The “Jonathan” the L(ittle) A(pplc) P(ic). The third prize was divided equally among the remaining groups, and no one felt his poetic efforts had been in vain. In fact, the groups receiving X (o) A(pple) P(ie) continued in their lofty art and responded thus: “ ’Tis sweet to try, But, oh! how bitter, To write a powm, And then not git ’er.” After refreshments of pie and apples, the guests departed, with a stronger feeling of friendship for each other than ever before. The sure cure for loneliness and homesickness is to be found in the . W. Senior Party Saturday evening, February 22, the Faculty and Sophomores were entertained by the Seniors. The Faculty was dressed to represent the characters in Mother Goose and very artistic they were, from Jack Spratt and his fat wife to Little Bo-Peep and the Queen of Hearts. The Sophomores and Seniors were in colonial costumes, which were also very beautiful. The gymnasium was decorated very appropriately with flags, cherry trees, and streamers. After Mother Goose (represented by Miss Dunn) had called her children together, they responded with suitable rhymes. Mary brought her little lamb, Miss Muft'et brought her bowl, and Daffv-Down-Dilly looked so like a flower that we thought spring was here for sure. The fun started at once and continued throughout the whole evening. “Pop Goes the Weasel” was the first game of the evening, and even the dignified colonial maidens unbent. Then came a fast basket ball game between the Suffragettes and the Mixed Nuts, which was intensely exciting until the centers were injured and had to be carried off the field. An original song or yell contest, the Virginia Reel and a grand march followed in rapid and joyous succession, and the lights blinked before one had realized that the evening was half over. The refreshments, ice-cream, cake and coffee, were eaten by candle light, which was truly a suggestion of the Colonial days. f n MOTHER GOOSE CHARACTERS I Hippodrome Jan. IS, 1910. 3 I I I p I I I 1 I I « 1 Dire Ebenezer: I just feel I gotta right an’ tell you what a swell doin’s I went to Saturday nite. They had what they call a hyppo—something-or-other over in the grand brick building they call the trainer's school. When me and Sal got to the dore a woman bumped us for a nickel. We didn’t know whether to go in or not, but we did, an’ say, we ain’t sorry, neither. Folks just pushed us every-which ways, but me and Sal hung on titc to each other and got safe thru. I was just a little feerful fur my bonnet sometimes, tho. We went and took a ride on the merry-go-round, but Sal got seasick and had to get off. Then we went to a place where they said we could see our husban’s, but after me knowin’ you, Eb, I didn’t go in. Sal did, an’ she’s been rite happy ever since. Pretty soon a tall, man, lookin’ sick like, begins to beat on the floor with his stick and yellin’ for us to go to the Or-pe-um. I herd today he was the president. Didn’t know the sort of crowd I was movin’ in, did you, Eb? Well, Sal an’ me, after having a dime extracted from us, went to this hear show. They had a new kind of graefefone, Eb. It sure sounded good. Then some people come out in what they called flu dances. Made me feel queer at first, cause I remember how near I came Iosen you with it, but when they got to dancin’ round I felt happy with ’em for bein’ well again. Then they had a darkey couple come out. There love-makin’ made me quite a little lonely for you, Eb, but I was glad for ’em. Next we went to what they called the “House of Mistry”. Hear they was so many gosts and skelitons lookin’ at us in the dark that I thot you an’ me had seen-each other for the last time, just when I begun to breathe a little freer somethin’ musta grabbed Sal by the leg, for she let out a hair-raisin’ yell, and we beat it for the dore. We were just a little shuck up, but they told us about another show, so we went in. They showed us the “fattest woman in the wurld” and, Eb, she was sure heavy. They had lots of other folks in there, too, that I had never seen before. I never knew the Lord had such mixed in with us civalized folks. We thot we couldn’t go no more but some one says we could take a trip around the wurld fur a nickel so in we goes. Here we looked at pictures on a sheet and the captain in the boat told us about the places. Sal got reel excited when he showed the Isle of Man but I was true to you Eb an’ it didn’t bother me none. After a bit they gave a prize for the best dressed folks at the circus, and wanted to give it to me and Sal, but we told them we wasn’t con- testin’ fur no prize, we came juts like we always was. They gave it to the “Kanon family”. They sure was a noizy family. Sal an’ me came home without no money, but ain’t done no kickin’ cause we went. I’m tired of rigten Eb so will tell you the rest when I see you. Lovely, Matilda. asnMMMM� I I I I The Junior-Senior Banquet There have been larger and more elaborate Junior-Senior banquets, but never in the history of Peru has there been a more unique and successful banquet than the one given by the 1920s to the 1919’s, March 20. At six-thirty the guests began to fill the hallways and to pass the receiving line, and soon the high school assembly room was filled with joyous Juniors and their honored guests, the Seniors. After an hour in the reception hall, the master of ceremonies, Mr. Roettger, formed the double line of marchers, who were led by butterflies to the banquet hall, which had been transformed into a fairy garden. There, amidst flowers, butterflies and singing birds the guests seated themselves at the beautifully decorated tables and partook of the well prepared menu. During the entire course of the banquet the guests were entertained by music from the fine orchestra, under Miss Carpenter’s direction. The toastmaster,. Mr. Prantc, then took charge and very ably introduced the following toasts: By the Dawn’s Early Light” applied to the 7:30 class......Mrs. Helene Boxekemper “The Home of the Brave”—the Peru S. A. T. C..............................Miss Duxx “So Proudly We Hail —the returning soldiers and sailors....................Peter Snyder “So Gallantly Streaming”—the Dorm water..................................Fern Ferre “Thru the Mists”—as the Juniors first saw the Seniors.................Della Weathf.rhogg “The Full Glory Reflected”—a tribute to the Seniors.................Cecilia Peterson Conquer We Must”—a response to the Juniors...............................Lf.nora Snyder “Oh, Thus Be It E'er”—the spirit of the soldier boys.....................Laurence Rouse “Preserve L's a Nation”—the real significance of ’61 as related to 19.Col. T. J. Majors “Bombs Bursting in Air”—to the Profs....................................... Erma Wilson “Oh Say!”—Peru’s future..................................................President Rouse 1 The Training Teacher’s Party Never did the high school assembly room see such a happy, carefree throng as the one which gathered there Saturday evening, April 12. One saw no trace of critic” teacher in the re- ceiving line, nor any other place during the course of the whole evening, and the assembly room looked quite homey . As usual our knowledge was tested. This time it was not plans but Bible names which could neither be pronounced or spelled. The vaudeville, pantomime, and hypnotic performances were immensely enjoyed, the actors displaying great talent under the dictation of their capable managers. The spelling contest was won by the blue side although the red side consisted of quite a number of the faculty, but even they seemed puzzled as to the spelling of such words as camouflage”, but then—the letters were so mixed up. Next our “dear teachers” lined us up in two rows and we marched down to the dining room where delicious refreshments of ice cream and cake were served and when we acted most “un- school ma’amish”. At length we went back to the assembly room and upon entering received a handful of money. At first we had no idea what it was for but after Mr. Dailey mounted the platform we under- stood that there was to be an auction of all the art treasures for which the faculty had posed, and which had been on exhibit during the course of the evening. The prices ranged from $10,000,000 for Miss Ellis’ picture to $.13 for Miss Palmers'. As for Miss Ilosmer’s picture the Kindergarten girls so desired it that it never came up for sale but was spirited mysteriously away. In fact these pictures were so desirable that the otherwise honorable students resorted to counterfeiting and one member of the factultv took a picture of another member without even a pretense of bidding. All hygienic rules were forgotten in the water spooning contest and evidently some weren’t very thirsty as a great deal of water was spilled either by accident or design. How gracefully and daintily some people step was shown by a group of six in the proper stepping race. A look of disappointment was on every face when the last number was announced. A stanza of the Peru Color Song closed the most enjoyable entertainment which lacked neither aim, preparation, presentation, nor appreciation. The Girls’ Club Party All the little girls in school came to the party in the Trainers Building, Saturday night, April 26. Lou Ella, Mamie, Iva Maude, Mattie, Leah, and all the rest wore their brand new dresses. They assembled in the High School where Kid Games” broke the ice, so that all soon were acquainted and having a merry time. Clara Arpka taught some of them the May Pole Dance and they danced it “so nicely”. Then every child told her birthday and they were divided into four groups according to the season of their birthdays. They were progressively entertained in four groups. Helen Robinson—Miss Spring—wel- comed the children into the fairy land of play. Here they enjoyed games of teeter-totter, drop the handkerchief, and others, and before they were half tired they were ushered into the Sum- merlands where Clara Beck heartily made them welcome. The children again enjoyed games and dances and music, and in the midst of enjoyment they were beckoned into the Mystic Autumn Realms, where Florence Wittwer assisted by Ghosts, Goblins, and Witches kept the children guessing at first, but they soon entered into the spirit of the time. What fun they had diving for apples, and having their fortunes told! Very unwillingly they left this land of Jack o’ lanterns and pumpkins and answered the call of Igloo Palace surrounded by icicles and mounds of snow. The children at once started their hunting, and fox and geese games. When their hands or toes got cold they went to the fireplace where they were held charmed by the wonderful story tellers. After this tour thru the seasons each group put on a clever charade. Each good little girl, and that meant every one, for never was there a nicer crowd of “children” together, was given a May basket full of pop corn and candy, and a real ice cream cone. Yum! Yum! Never in all the years to come will they forget this wonderful party. May Day Fete HELEN McMEEKIX The Senior boys of the Class of 1918, chose as their May Queen, Helen McMeekin. The Senior girls enclosed the coronation grounds with a daisy chain and immediately after this Miss McMeekin, attended by eight Senior and Junior girls, mounted to her throne, where she was crowned Queen of May. After the coronation, Miss Josephine Gavin and Miss Esther Stalhut danced be- fore the Queen, and the Senior girls wound the May-pole in her honor. Miss McMeekin was a most appropri- ately chosen, and every one was im- pressed with her charm, simplicity and beauty. ALVINA SCHNEIDER Miss Alvina Schneider was chosen Queen of May by tbe Senior class of 1919. The coronation ceremonies, under the charge of Miss Josephine Gavin, took place on the campus and consisted of the crowning of the Queen. The Fairy Queen, danced by Miss Doris Frye and Miss Margaret Elder; The Pipes of Pan, by a quin- tette of girls, and the Map Pole dances, by the Senior girls. A daisy chain carried by Senior and Junior girls inclosed the coronation grounds and the dances and costumes made it seem truly a May Day fete. Miss Schneider made a charming and beau- tiful Queen, and the Senior class wil- lingly pledged allegiance to her. .. v. ...v:: SepTembeR H 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.

Commencement. The Senior Class of 1919 presented their class play, Bernard Shaw’s comedy in four acts, “You Never Can Tell”. It was a typical Shaw play, with the characters saying things that we all think but seldom say. The plot hinges around a woman who, after leaving her husband, brings up her three children in absolute ignorance of their father. After many years, she takes her grown children to England, where they meet their father. Gloria loses her heart to a poor dentist and the twins shock every one, their father most of all. i H i 1 CAST OF CHARACTERS Valentine (a young dentist)....Donald Overholt Crampton (the father)............Worth Conkle Philip (one of the twins).......Raymond Carter McComas (a lawyer).....................Lee Long Bohun (another lawyer) .............Peter Snyder Waiter (father of Bohun).........Gaylord Chase Mrs. Clandon (wife of Crampton).Helen Robinson Gloria (her older daughter).......Helen Fuller Dolly (the other twin)..........Gertrude Clark Parlor maid......................Alma Mosiman II ‘■(S, 'it.

Two-Thirds ok Peru Faculty and Many Students Fatai.lv Injured Our aeroplane correspondent faithfully records scenes enacted as faculty and students enter the pearly gates. At the pearly gates— Prof. Delzell: Right this way, ladies and gentlemen! And if there’s any little word I can say for you to Saint Peter, I’ll be more than glad to say it. No bother at all. Mr. Overholt: I hope you have your credits all ready to turn in, so there’ll be no delay in having to send back home for them. Saint Peter is very much rushed today. Miss Carpenter: I can hear a little of the angel chorus from here. It strikes me they are just a little off the pitch. Miss Hosmer: I know a little contrivance that would hold that latch down when Saint Peter closes the gate. And dear me! how that hinge creaks! Just a few drops of oil would stop that. Isn't it strange how some people will let a thing like that go on annoying everybody, and yet do nothing about it? Saint Peter (whispering with Prof. Delzell): Who’s that clean looking man with the well groomed hair and his face and neck freshly shaved? Mr. Delzell: The one with the clean collar and well blackened shoes? That’s Prof. Loomis. Saint Peter: Send him right in without further examination. Such a clean exterior certainly betokens a clean heart. And who is that other man who just took off his hat to those ladies, and a moment ago opened that aeroplane door and helped those two women to alight? There he is now, giving up his seat to that ugly, middle aged spinster. Prof. Delzell: That’s Prof. Jean. Saint Peter: Chivalry is badly needed in Heaven just now. We haven’t had a real gentleman in six weeks. Send him right in. Dean Ellis (to group of young girls) : Now, girls, you will be careful, I am sure, to conduct yourselves as ladies when you pass through. No little indiscretions that might be misconstrued by the loitering angels near the gate. And do, I implore you, retire your gum to the sole of your sandal or some other safe place. Miss Dunn makes the plea before Saint Peter for the entire crowd. It is most impassioned and effective, and all arc permitted to pass through the pearly gates. Safe inside— Miss Esther Clark: O, isn’t it beautiful! IIow refreshing! Won’t autoing in this bracing air be delightful! These smooth paved streets are just the thing: and it’s not at all crowded. Come on, Rose, let’s find a garage. i Miss Rose Clark: I must say I am disappointed. I sec no opportunity for geological study here. There isn’t an interesting formation in sight. Nothing but these monotonous golden streets. If Saint Peter will only let me out, I’ll go back down to the other place. (Exit Prof. Clark.) Miss Mutz: Just notice that effect of sunlight sifting through the trees, as it falls on the golden pavement. I consider that rather interesting. Dr. House (to angel chorus): Now, altogether, sing! Miss Rulon (from desk where she has been at once installed): I’d like to ask that group of angels over in the corner to do a little less whispering. Miss Kelley: I don’t see that I can be of much practical use up here, and I’m really needed down in the lower regions to help keep up the fires. They say Head Engineer Hays sits shiver- ing in a corner down there, and docs nothing but beg his imps to stir up the fires and get a little heat on. With my experience in running a furnace, I am sure I can keep those lost spirits comfortably warm. (Exit Miss Kelley.) President Rouse (making bee line for gates): Comfortably warm, did you say? Here, wait for me! I’d just like to get into such a place. Miss Hanthorn: Here! Let me through too, Saint Peter! I’m going to see if I can’t get a pipe line run through up to my office in the training building! Dean Ellis (rushing frantically toward gates): A good idea! Fine! Let us run pipe lines to all the rooming houses, and connect up at 6:30 every morning, so that the poor girls can be comfortably warm while dressing. Saint Peter (sternly): Rack, back, all of you! I was foolish to let the first one through. There can be no traffic between Heaven and the lower regions! Miss Hosmer: I must say I am surprised at the way some of these robes hang. I think a few pleats in the back would insure a much better fit. It's so hard to find a really good dressmaker in a place like this! Miss Mutz: Well, I don’t know, I think the lines in that robe over there arc rather good. And there’s one worn by a French Colonel which I find so attractive! Prof. Beck: Hi, there, Prof. Hoyt! Aren’t you a member of this committee? We’re all ready and waiting. Weren’t you the very one who proposed the rule that every member of the committee should attend all its meetings? Prof. Hoyt: Yes, and a mighty good rule it is too, dearly beloved! See that you enforce it (hurries cheerfully by). Miss Foster (peering through bars of gate): O, that’s the nineteenth case of flu I’ve seen them taking to the infirmary this morning! I’ll just have to go back down to Peru for a little while, at least, to help that new nurse out in the emergency. I i § I ;;...... I te I President Rouse: I feel that your point is not at all well taken, Miss Foster. Some of those cases may prove fatal in the hands of a green nurse, and what wc need up here is a denser population of Peruvians. Kearney is going to outclass us up here if we aren’t careful. We’ve got to do everything possible to build up the Peru spirit. Prof. Crago: Are all the training teachers here? I’d like to see a 100 per cent representation. Miss Dewey: Yes, all here but Miss Kelley. She went down to the lower regions to help keep up the fires. But I hear she’s coming back, for the fuel administrator won’t let her use anything but Sheridan coal in that zone, and she says she can’t shovel coal all the time. She lias to have some time to manicure her nails and powder her nose. Here she comes now. Miss Krebs: No, I’m afraid I can’t join you in that heavenly chorus. I’d love to, for I do enjoy music so much. But here are all these plans for angel children’s robes to be looked over. That will keep me up until midnight. And then I must meet a group of backward angel boys at 7:40 to practice for the te deum. I can’t possibly find the time to go. Duty first—pleasure can wait. Mr. Overholt: Who’s that out there, hustling toward the pearly gates with his arms full of outlines and charts? O, it’s Prof. Gregg! (Loud knocking at gate.) Saint Peter: Who’s there? Prof. Gregg (breathless but business-like) : It’s I, Saint Peter. Sorry to be late but I had this chart to finish, and that program to make out for the faculty members wanted to take an intelli- gence test and I had to measure some of the 6th grade boys. Sorry, Saint Peter, but you see yourself how busy 1 am. Saint Peter (grumblingly) : Well, it would seem you might have gotten in with the rest of your crowd. It's been several hours since that train wreck. But come on in. liss Burley: Why, just look at Miss Krebs! How bedraggled she looks! She seems to be losing a lot of feathers out of her wing, and her robe looks almost worn out. She usually is so neat. Miss Hanthorn: Yes, she pulled those feathers out to fix up Miss Kelley’s wing, which got slightly singed when she was down below. And she had a new robe, but she gave it to Miss Palmer, who tore hers as she hurried through the gate. But see how brightly the jewels shine in her crown! Miss Hosmer: Well, I’ve been up here six months now, and I’ve been doing a little tinkering each day. I must say I’m getting things down where I can live with a fair degree of comfort. At this point our enterprising correspondent was caught near the gate post in the act of eaves- dropping, and made his escape to his waiting aeroplane with some difficult}'. g i § i i i I I i I?

ONE AND THE SAME THING Dr. House assigned books for the Juniors to review for English. To one girl he assigned “Divine Fire”. Upon being asked by the librarian what book she wanted, she hesitated and finally said, “I couldn’t think of it for a minute; it’s ‘Holy Smoke’. I remember now.” HAVOC OF FAKE ALARM Miss Ellis (to Present War History class) : “I’m sorry this examination has been hanging over you for so long, because of the undue excitement of last week, but, children, I didn’t sign the peace terms.” A SISTER’S LOVE R. Beck: “Clara, what makes your cheeks so pink?” C. Beck: “Why, the wind, of course.” R. Beck: “Oh, I sec; the wind that comes in a little round box.” Flossie Hopke (stepping up to the clerk in a music store) : “Have you ‘Kissed Me In the Moonlight’?” Clerk: “It must have been the other man. I’ve only been here a week.” RECIPE FOR PRESERVING PEACHES Use plenty of cold cream, rouge and face powder. ft� - .U.

And here, I thought you were kissing.” My boy, beware the “baby stare”, Because if it’s a bluff, She knows too much, and if it’s not, She doesn’t know enough.

EXPERIENCED The young man sidled into the jeweler’s shop, with a furtive air. He handed the jeweler a ring with the stammering statement that he wished it marked “with some initials”. “What names do you wish?” inquired the jeweler, in sympathetic tone. “From Henry to Clara,” the young man blushingly whispered. The jeweler looked from the ring to the young man and said in a fatherly manner: “Take my advice, young man, and have it engraved simply ‘From Henry’.” WHAT IS A “NUT”?

All four kinds are found in this Normal School. Let’s not talk about class number 1, but begin with the wish bones. There were a bunch of them around here this year who wished and wished for something to be going on. They wished and wished and their numbers grew until a backbone or two came around. Now a backbone—but right here I want to take up the relations of the bones to each other. The lazy bones are negligible, they have no place in this discussion. The wish bones are a factor. Enough of them create a sentiment. But they have to have a shell or something over them. Then there are the backbones. One or two of them can make a whole bunch of wishbones rejoice. As for funnybones —well, they’re backbones as you will see. Now, as I started to say, there were a bunch of wishbones around here, who longed for some athletics. Well, along came a backbone and said, “We'll have some athletics.” He commenced to look around for another backbone and he finally found him in disguised form; i. e. a “Funny” bone. The Funny” bone said, “Yes, we’ll have some athletics,” and straightway became the backbone of the activities. Verily I say to you:—revere your Funny” bones. They make your wishbones rejoice. I. B. Bonehead WHAT IF: i 1 I Ruth Pass should grow tall? Minnie Meisner should stop talking? Anyone should enjoy a Dorm, breakfast? Some one should get all his work done? Helen Hopp should be found loafing? Flossie Hopke should have a date? Helen and Carl should have a fight? Spickler: “What is the height of your ambition?” Carl: I don’t know, exactly; hut she comes about to my shoulder.” WHAT ELSE COULD HE SAY? “Man is a tyrant,” declared Mrs. Rocttger. “Isn’t he, Leon?” Really, my dear, I hardly---” “Is he, or is he not?” “He is.” ■ I Yf. I A REMINISCENCE 1 lie book is finished and we are glad. The countless nights of anxiety and work, the pleasures forsaken, the classes missed have shrunk into insignificance now that we have really found relief in completion. We have dreamed of the time when we could startle our teachers with signs of a prepared lesson. We can now break that Pre- and Post- Lenten fast from study and seclude ourselves in the sanctum of the Library to make up some ten weeks of reading. Now that the 1919 Peruvian is a reality, we wonder how it was accomplished. There was a time, before our election, when the production of a year book seemed but child’s play. We could do it with ease. Later, when work began, we lay awake nights wondering with what gems of thot these 250 pages could be filled. One of the first to help us solve this problem was Peter Snyder who was to have been editor-in-chief had he not answered his country’s call. The hours which he spent on the book, after he was elected in the spring left the work in quite a definite form in his mind, so that when it was turned over thus abruptly for us to carry on, his sug- gestions and advice were very helpful to us. There are many others to whom we arc grateful for the work done on this book. To the following in particular we want to express our sincere thanks and appreciation; Mr. J. J. Slier, of the Bureau of Engraving, thru his letters and calls gave us a glimpse of the possibilities in the field of school annuals and thru his specific suggestions added attractive features to the book; Mr. W. W. Mercer of the Economy Advertis- ing Company, whose care and attention in the selection of our paper, ink and binding has given us unusual satisfaction here as well as in the printing. We can but merely mention the names of many outside of the staff who took a genuine interest in the book. Mr. W. N. Delzell who having had some Peruvian experience as Advisor of a Senior class was an ever-ready source of information. Dr. H. C. House, who kindly criticized and proof read material for the Literary Dept.; Miss Mutz for the personal supervision of several of the pen contributions; Mr. Petsch, for his clever cartoons which help to brighten our pages; and Mr. Newman for his endurance and patience with us as well as splendid workmanship. We thank the staff who did not hesitate to sacrifice their personal comfort for the welfare of the Peruvian. The Associate Editor, Ruby McMeckin, whose untiring efforts will always be remembered and appreciated. We wish to extend praise to Bessie Lauman for her excellent drawings that appear throughout the book. To our advisor, Miss Dunn, we are grateful for her many kindly suggestions and also the help in proof reading. To the Senior girls who laboriously typed for us hour after hour. To all these and more, we are grateful. The past year has been one of pleasurable associations and hard work, if we have been forced to give up other things for the Peruvian, it has been eminently worth while. —The Editor y ;: I H n I PERUVIAN STAFF 1 1 i I I l I 1 I i I Editor-in-Chief ....Vivian A.
