State Normal...................1867 Peru, Nebraska. State Teachers' College . 1921 Our College For a decade there has been a gradual transformation of Normal Schools into Teachers’ Colleges. On January 1 more than 50 of the 180 Normal Schools in the United Stales had attained this distinction. The Nebraska Normal Schools have been gradually moving in this direction for several years. On March 25, Governor Samuel II. McKelvie signed the bill which legalized this change. The bill had passed both Houses of the Legislature unanimously. The law provides that students who complete the four year collegiate course shall he granted Bachelor of Arts degrees and shall he known as graduates of the Nebraska State Teachers’ College. The new plan does not eliminate the old advanced course, but gives it its proper name, the two year collegiate course. One completing such work will be given a diploma which is a three year certificate and becomes a life certificate after two years experience. Doubtless this briefer course will be the popular one for years. The four year course makes it possible for students to remain in their own school and prepare for any public school position in Nebraska. One completing this course will be granted in addition to his A. B. degree a University certificate authorizing him to teach in any Nebraska high school. The next catalog of this institution will contain the outline of the new four year course and definite instructions as to majors and minors. 'fhe specific advantages of a Teachers’ College are the added dignity of a group of Senior College students, the attractiveness of such an institution for well trained faculty members and the prestige of a diploma from a college rather than a normal school. Every indication is that we will have in the old Peru Normal next year not less than fifty Senior College folk. The old degree. Bachelor of Arts in Education, was granted to twenty-five people in the last biennium. In all probability the number receiving the A. B. degree during the present biennium will be doubled. E. L.

What luck, to be twenty-one all your lives! What better wish for you than this —that gray hair and wrinkles may not take from you one whit of your zest for living, of your “divine discontent” with many existing things, of your welcoming attitude toward new ideas and new ideals. “Water purifies itself by flowing,” said a wise man once; 61 Tis the same thing with men.” May you never stagnate into a comfortable acquiescent belief in the good of things as they are! So here’s my wish for each one of you, a long, full life, happy as may be, lived in the spirit of ’21. Abba Willard Bowen.

Rouse as president of the Stale Normal at Peru, we lose a loved and respected chief. For years before his advancement to the presi- dency. he guided the destinies of the Training School with such vision and wisdom that it rapidly rose to the rank of one of the very best in the middle west. It was largely due to his untiring efforts that it is as finely housed as it is today. His election to the presidency in the summer of 1918 was the occasion of uni- versal rejoicing among alumni and school men generally throughout the state as well as of faculty, students and townspeople in Peru. Nor has he ever disappointed our most roseate hopes. He has given of his splendid self without stint to the school and the cause of education, and his efforts have horne fruit far beyond mere words to describe. Through his active relationship with the National Council of Presidents and Principals and as State Director for the National Ed lion during its reorganization period, he has kept the Peru Normal ed ucal i ona 1 conscience. Normal School ucal ion Associa- in the national We all regard him as a personal as well as a professional friend, and realize that leaders so understanding, so frank, so sympathetic, so open-minded are rare indeed. “His magic was not far to seek. He was so human! Whether strong or weak, Far from his kind he never sank or soared. But sal an equal guest at every hoard. «-« Where’er he met a stranger, there he left a friend.’ We shall not let him slip out of our lives. His unseen presence will continue to he our inspiration to work for the best things in life—truth, sympathy, sincerity. May all good things he his in his work in the Golden West. Pane 23 Greetings It has been my privilege to write a few words of greeting for three Peruvian . The first came at the close of our war experience. One year ago we were in the heyday of the prosperity that seemed to be coming to America because she was the one sol- vent nation in the world. As Maytime approaches this 1921 we find ourselves in the early stages of the reaction from the war. Depression is felt in most fields. Products and wages are gradually being reduced to pre-war levels. Financial and industrial institutions are struggling for existence or tottering on the brink of disaster but with a tendency toward sanity and safety. The most hopeful phase of these troublesome days is the altitude of the public toward their schools. In nearly every state in the Union the limitation of the rate of taxation for school purposes has been removed. Boards of Education and Boards of Control of endowed institutions, sensing the absolute necessity of maintaining the educational institutions of the country, are actually increasing the compensation of teachers, providing them with teacherages, making provision for permanent tenure and retirement compensation. More and more all these factors are insisting upon trained teachers because they realize that America must he the leader in this critical decade of reconstruction. Teachers are responding bv an added sense of responsi- bility and a lirmer determination to be thoroughly prepared for their new responsi- bilities. This has been plainly noticeable on the campus this year. There is a seri- ousness and a determination that lias not been in evidence since 1914. I am sure each member of the Class of ’21 goes to his school this fall with a clear vision of responsibility and a full determination to play his part well in the building of a better citizenship. The State Legislature, discerning the need for more and more adequate prepara- tion for the teaching profession, has authorized the transformation of the Normal Schools into Teachers’ Colleges. We are confident that in ever increasing numbers teachers will come to their classrooms with at least a college education as a prepara- tion. We are glad that the State Teachers College at Peru has been added to these full grown Normal Schools. There is every indication that many members of the Classes of ’20 and 21 will return for the additional two years of training at the earliest possible moment. Will not many of the ’teen Classes follow in their train? It is with keen regret and the breaking of many heart ties that I leave the old school. My best wishes and my personal influence will he for the upbuilding of a better and stronger school in the years to come. The friendships formed during these fourteen strenuous hut happy years are enough to sweeten many a day of discouragement if such shall he my lot. Surely any and all Peruvians know they may call upon me for any professional or personal service I can render them. —E. L. Rouse. Pace 21 nszEEBmzimrzzix Page 25 Page 26 [mvm R. D. OVER HOLT. A. B.

Beck He was born in Williamsville. near Springfield. 111.. 1859. and grew up on a farm near lii birthplace and completed the high school course in the town of his nativity. Me came to Nebraska in 1878 and began teaching in the fall of that year in a little obi log schooihouse at fifteen dollars a month and “boarded around.’ Me taught several terms in rural schools, three years in the grammar school at I ckamali. and four years as superintendent of the citv schools there. He was chosen Captain of Co. II. 2d Keg.. i . N. G.. and as such commanded the company during the Sioux Indian uprising in the winter of 1890-91. He was elected County Super- intendent of Burl County and in the middle of his second term was appointed Deputy Slate Superintendent under Win. R. Jackson. Supt. of Public Instruction. During his second term in this position he was commissioned and appointed adjutant of the I bird Nebraska U. S. V. Infantry, Colonel Win. J. Bryan commanding, and served Ih lee months with the regiment during the Spanish-American War. At the close of this term of office he was elected in 1901 as Associate Professor of Mathematics in the Peru Normal, the position he now holds. He was not privileged to serve his country on the field of battle during the World War, but “did his bit as a “four Minute Man,” as chairman of Peru precinct committee for placing Liberty bonds, and commissioned Captain of the Peru Home Guards by Governor Neville. Throughout his career in Peru he has taken an active interest in everything that pertains to the welfare of the community. Among the positions of honor and trust that he has filled might be mentioned: Chairman of the Town Council; President of the Commercial Club: Treasurer of the building committee of the M. C. Church, and various church offices. Not the least of the responsible positions that have been conferred upon him. and in which he has taken the most pleasure and pride, is his selection as Advisor of Normal School classes—namely the classes of 1909. 1916. and the present class of 1921. Always a booster for the Normal School and for all the activities that make for noble manhood and womanhood. He is probably the oldest teacher in the state in teaching service in Nebraska, being in actual educational work for the past 13 years, with the exceptions noted above.

S. N. has to say: We are a ship of explorers tossed about on the stormy sea of experience. The captain of our ship is Roland Carr and we have found him a very competent one. As we boarded the ship we were met by Lucille Harajian. who collected the faro and wrote our names in her little hook. We appointed Mr. Chase to keep us from forgetting how to yell. But before we started we were very thoughtful in electing a committee to keep us entertained. These people were Alvce Humbert, Mark Delzell and Thelma Howe. Their good programs have since proved their ability. When we were thus far prepared we began to take an inventory and found that we had not obtained a sponsor for our trip. We looked about and saw next to 11s. and just about ready lo sail a ship, on which was written in large letters “Faculty 1921 ’ Someone suggested that we look over the passengers of our neighbor ship and choose an advisor. Our eyes tell on a jolly little man who came forward lo welcome us. How could we resist! He kindlv consented to go with us so we boarded our ship and set sail, for now we felt much safer with such an able advisor as Mr. Schoenike. On our trip we noticed Dorothy Pettit writing down everything we did. so we learned to be careful for we knew that it would be published in the normalite. We had not gone far when we decided to have a party. As our advisor was unavailable we were compelled to look for a chaperone. We were delighted to have the faculty ship come into sight again, and from it this lime we chose Miss Withers and Miss Gockley, who proved more than satisfactory. One evening we enjoyed a theatre party and oyster stew. The deck has been the scene of many gay times throughout the year. We reached our port, cast our anchor, having had very calm weather except for the high waves that dashed at times, which were nothing more than the competitions of the sophomore class. —A. II.. ’24.

SPECIAL mrwuuxmi (x 211 l’aj?e 09 I E FOOTBALL The following pages are filled with pictures and results of games during the football season of 1920-21. In presenting them a few words might he said in regard to the athlete. Because he is big and strong, quick and sharp, he need not be stamped a brute. Usually his honest face and bright eye proclaim the well rounded mail behind him. Football has always been a popular sport in the colleges and is evidently there to stay. Men may talk of its brutality and declare its barbarity, but they can never touch the sentiment of the man who has clutched the pigskin in his arms, with every muscle quivering in one grand, mad rush of advance. The 1920 football squad completed the heaviest schedule in the history of Peru Normal. While they were not victorious in all their games, they finished in the first division of the conference. The season wras full of thrills, accidents, and mishaps that gave it a complete variety and. of course, not all of these made it the most comfortable, or worked for the prosperity of the team. About the middle of September, under the tutelage of Coach Speer, thirty-five young, husky Nebraskans began their training for the season’s struggle, and on October 1 met the champions of 1919 from ’I ork. With a group of youngsters around Captain Galely, Sharrar, Higgins and E. Rosenquist, the boys handed the ex-cham- pions a 28 to 0 defeat for the first game of the 1920 season. Passes front Captain Gately to Sharrar and short runs by Willy, Gatelv, Wilcox and Bracke were features of the game. Next on the schedule came Midland College, at Fremont, October 8. Here a j terrific struggle was encountered as usual, but the pep machine was geared up and in perfect running order, so all the disturbance of the Midland team wras taken care of. Bracke had made a spectacular run of forty yards through a broken field, carry- ing the ball over the goal line, and Ed. Rosey had added two more points on a safety by blocking a kick behind their goal line to make the score 9 to 0 at the end of the first half. In the last half. Midland admitted they were clearly outplayed when, to show them the boys had the punch, Willy and Bracke look the ball down the field on short end plays, Willy making the last score of the game, which ended: Peru, 15; Midland, 0. October 15. the Peruvians journeyed to Grand Island, where a full grown scrap look place. This game found Peru minus both regular half-backs, Wilcox and Bracke, who were injured in the Midland game. The Islanders outweighed the Peruvians by a good margin and forced us to take the count of 12 to 0. A down-pour of rain made fumbling frequent and no one was certain it was his ball until the referee had blown it dead and placed his foot upon the ball to prevent it from floating away. Patfe 100 On October 22. the pep machine delivered the high score of the season in the conference, by taking their old rival, Kearney, to a redeeming of 103 to 0. Peru is quite certain this score will stand for time to come. Traudt was high score man. with seven touchdowns to his credit. Captain Gately would hand the hall to one of the backfield men, or shoot a pass to Shamir, and run to the other end of the field to kick goal. Wesleyan game. October 29. was hard fought, hut again the Peru boys were working against experience and weight. Wesleyan put on an aerial attack we did not break up. Captain Gately and Higgins were injured and removed from the game during the first half; this shattered the Peru defense and they broke through for a •10 to 0 score. Then, on November 5. the trip to Hastings, which resulted in defeat. The men had not recovered from the Wesleyan game entirely, hut pul up a great game and out-played Hastings on straight football. Again, the forward pass put the opponents to victory. Doane arrived at Peru on November 12. Captain Gately was not in the Peru line-up and naturally the team fell the absence of their captain and quarter-back. Again Peru outplayed their opponents on straight football, but lack ol experience with the forward pass spelled defeat. The Wayne trip, on November 19, was rather tedious and irregular, yet the boys delivered a victory of 7 to 0. After losing two sure touchdowns by over-throws to Sharrar, it was time for someone to make a get-away to score, and with short end runs by Landoll, Wilson and Willy, Peru look the ball to Wayne’s 30-yard line. Here Landoll, with perfect interference, broke through for the only score of the game. The final game with Cotner Thanksgiving Day, at Peru, was a real battle. Wilcox proved his ability to pilot the team in the absence of Captain Gately. The team, with the experience of the season’s plays, pul up their real fight of the season. Willy was the mainstay on offense in the contest, running 40 yards through a broken field for the only touchdown of the game. Wilcox kicked a perfect field goal from the 25-yard line, making the score: Peru, 10; Cotner, 0. P KO 101 Page 102 (TW{- ZK U3 Vb'WVL CL m Pape 103 DON “WOODROW” WILSON One-year man.

SPECIAL Pako 101 Team, Team, Ra, Ra! g9-pfrJHCJV(FT( :7K Basketball 1921 Basketball at Peru this season has been proclaimed by many spectators to be one of the snappiest ever put on at the local court. When practice was called the three letter men to report were Capt. Ed Rosenquist, Carl Rosenquist and Higgins. Two practice games were arranged with Auburn Legion and Syracuse Athletic Asso- ciation, which were won with ease and all the men got a chance to show their skill at basketball. The first trip out found us in a tangle with Doane. and they took our measure by a good score, but ibis gave the new boys experience and set a mark for them to work to in speed. The following night found the Peru boys going at top speed and running over the Kearney boys by a big score. The third and last game on the trip was lost to Hastings by 2 points to 18. The boys say the home official won it for Hastings, so does Coach Speer. It is said you shall not run with the ball but they did and always to an open space to shoot. Then came Tabor college to give the men a workout and with the full second team in during last half Peru put their first game with Tabor away with a one-sided victory. The following week found Peru squad with two men, Toft and Clark, on the hospital list but Fisher was ready to go and the trip to Tabor gave the Peru hoopsters another victory with topheavy score. The following night found the Peruvians giving Midland a fine exhibition of basketball and here Capt. Ed Rosey put up his big sebre of the season and pulled his team out at the final whistle with a 27 to 24 victory. The fast team from Cotner furnished the next opposition on the Peru court and it is said this game on Feb. 11th was the fastest exhibition of basketball ever seen on the Peru floor. Cotner broke out with a lead of three baskets hut the Peru five proceeded to hit the ring for a final count of 26 to 14 in their favor. I he following week found Clark out of the game again and the team found the same Cotner team going strong as ever. At that the Peruvians played an aggressive game and only some clever long shots took this game away from them by one point just before the last whistle. Kearney came to Peru to win hack their defeat at Kearney hut the hoys from the short grass section had to he content with a 20 to 10 defeat. Then came the Doane aggregation with a full string of players from Crete. To lose this game meant the championship out of their grasp and several neutral parties asserted that the young man as referee seemed to appreciate the fact from the way he handed it to the Peru team. It was very evident that had we gotten an even break on the fouls of the game we could have taken Doane to a clean defeat, hut as it was, they came in for a victory of 16.to 1 1. After a full week of work at pointing his men for the final game of the season on Mar. loth with Midland College, Coach Speer sent his men in for a fight to the finish. Fisher replaced Wilcox who was in the hospital, and the boy, Fisher, put up a great defensive game. Again Ed. Carl, and Clark had their floor work going: at top speed and Midlanders made their final surrender to Speer’s ‘ Pep Machine” of 1921. Again Capt. E. Rosenquist led his team in points with 11 of the 18 to 11 victory. So another year’s history of Peru basketball is written down with 9 games won and 4 lost. Page 10G P. II. s.

Girls Basketball The Girls’ Basketball Tournament was above par this year if we can judge by the class spirit manifested and by the high type playing that was done by each member of the four teams. The clever passes that were so successfully executed, the splendid teamwork, and the spectacular goal shooting made the games unusually interesting and exciting. The Freshmen had. most of them, been together in High School and were fine in team work. They were just outclassed by the Sophomores, most of which played together last year as Freshmen and showed such unusual team work then. Edna Fisher’s work was equal in every way to that she did as a Freshman. The Juniors and Seniors were quite evenly matched and the Juniors won only after a mighty hard fight. The Senior girls fought hard to the last whistle even though they knew toward the last that they would lose. One man said afterward lhat .Minnie Krueger, Junior center the second half, was the best player that he had ever seen for a girl. Helyn Humbert s wonderful goal shooting without a doubt won the game. When Helyn got the hall, bing. and the Juniors had two more points in their favor. So the business of the Seniors was to keep Helyn from getting the ball, which every member of the team worked as one man-er-girl to prevent. The guards, Mary Jarvis and Zella Elliott, especially did their work well. The interest created by these line games lived throughout the school year and made itself felt in all the sports. The need which the girls felt for something of the kind after the tournament was over made itself manifest by the organization of the Olympic Club. May the spirit continue to grow until the girls will he given equal recognition with the boys in athletics. rnrvt'uu j[H( an Pnge 113 YORK Y9VVE NU 5HOW STILL.

February 18. 1021. marked the celebration of the Girls’ Club’s second birthday, which was held in the chapel at the regular hour. The boys anti faculty were shown what pep and enthusiasm really are by the yells, songs and program. All club mem- bers wore black hats decorated with large orange pom-poms, thus carrying out the colors of the club. Miss Krueger, secretary of the club, presented President Rouse a draft for one hundred dollars, which is the beginning of the Student Loan Fund financed by the Girls’ Club. This loan is to be used by any girl of the Normal at a normal rate of interest. We are certainly proud of the fact that we are the first to establish such a fund. The Girls Club held regular meetings the first Tuesday of each month in the chapel at the chapel hour. On the fourth Thursday of each month from October to February, inclusive, the gills poured tea from 4:30 to 3:30 P. M. in the faculty room for the students and faculty members of the various departments. These teas were informal just for the sake of getting better acquainted with one another. We girls of the club wish to express our appreciation of the help given so heartily by Miss Ellis, advisor; Miss Farquhar, President, and the Council in making the second year of the Girls’ Club a red letter year.

A. attempted during the year to connect up with campus life was by giving to each student at registration a handbook gotten out in co-operation with the Y. W. C. A. and the N. C. A. This helped to introduce the new student immediately to some of the more desirable activities of school life. The first week of the year closed with a breakfast and melon feed out in the pasture beyond the athletic field. Yes, “wienies,” a melon fight, swat tag and the good fellowship for which the “Y” stands were much in evidence. Another way in which the association has attempted to take a helpful part in school activities was through the bulletins issued at the football games. These usually gave the line-up of the teams, the yells and songs for the day and other interesting information about the game. The plan started a year or two ago of helping maintain a Y. M. C. A. worker in Cairo, Egypt, has been continued this year. This, together with missionary meet- ings. and contact with men who are actually in foreign work, have kept alive and extended an interest in problems beyond the campus. The regular weekly meetings have had for their purpose the development in the minds of students an understanding of the responsibility that rests upon the col- lege man and the arousing of every one possible to give at least part ol his time and energy in bringing about a Christian solution to the problems now before the world, rhe meetings have consisted of discussions by faculty and business men and by students of religious topics, industrial and social problems, conditions in other lands and the problems concerned in the choice of a vocation. These meetings throughout the year have been more than usually well attended and interesting. A gospel team and quartette, planned in other years, became a reality this year and took part in meetings in several nearby towns, it is hoped that this work can he continued and extended. The “Hy-Y” work, though started late this year, proved very successful. A leader was furnished from the “Y” and liikes were given binding the boysf f the high school and the association together. The ahnual banquet proved to be one of the outstanding features of the year. Every minute of the time was alive with songs and yells, with good things to eat and to hear. The talk by “Bob” Wall ace, a big business man from Council Bluffs, proved an inspiration to every one present. The a ssociation has been well represented at the various conferences called by the state committee, and at Estes Park. These have had a real influence in the lives of those who attended, and in the life of the association. We have been pleased during the year to hear of the Christian service being rendered by several of our Alumni members. We have several to go out this year who will carry the spirit of the college Y into their work. It is to he hoped that the association can continue to send these men out with a training and an inspiration to render real service. The work of the association next year will he started by: Carl Rosenquist, President; Erland Nelson. Vice President; Roland Carr, Secretary, and Dewey Ganzell, Treasurer. Look these men up when you return to school. Piiire 132 U3. EEBnmSK m Y. W. C. A. The management of the Y. V. C. A. by capable and enthusiastic girls, under the guidance of an interested and co-operative advisory board, has during the year of 1920-21 greatly enlarged its sphere of usefulness. How well the organization has succeeded as a source of help and enjoyment to the students may perhaps be indi- cated by the record membership and the interest shown in all of the Y. W. activities throughout the year. , Some of the social events of the association were the “Get Acquainted Mixer” at the opening of school, which was given jointly by the Christian organizations, the “County Fair,” the “Y. W. Kid Party,” the “Y. W. Tea,” and the “May Breakfast.” The weekly meetings were enjoyable and conducive to the highest type of college loyally and unity of spirit. Neither interest nor enthusiasm was lacking in them. Delegates were sent to the conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and also to the Student Volunteer Conference held at Midland College, Fremont, Nebraska. Miss Winnifred Tunnel, the student secretary of the Y. W. for the North Cen- tral Field, which includes the states North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wis- consin and Illinois, visited us in October. Her advice and suggestions were appre- ciated. The work of the Y. W. for 1920-21 has been both enjoyable and fruitful. The organization looks confidently forward to next year’s work.

I hear you, you breaker of dreams!” Marine turned over in bed and began nudging her room-mate. Juanita yawned sleepily and exclaimed, “Let me alone.” “But you must get up. Exam, in Theory today and you haven’t looked at your lesson for a week.” At this the two girls arose and began to hastily dress. Juanita opened her Theory book and while she combed her hair, managed to read the first page. “Where’s my slipper, Juanita? You used it last night to kill that hug.’’ “Use your eyes and keep still. Can’t you see I’m busy?” came the answer. At this point the conversation was interrupted by the ringing of the breakfast bell. “Hurry, Marine, I smell French toast.” After breakfast Marine started her week’s plans that must be in that evening and Juanita proceeded to straighten the room. “Oh, Nita it’s three minutes till eight. Come! we’ll be late to class.” 1 he girls grabbed their books and rushed down-stairs, nearly up-setting Miss Daniels as they went out the door. “Oh, Marine, where’s that reference book? I’ll have to get it for 1 m nearly broke paving fines now.” So saying she ran back up to the third floor after her book. She hustled to the library, threw the book on the desk and went to class. Between the eight and nine o’clock classes, Marine ran over to the dormitory for the mail, but the mail man hadn’t arrived—as usual. “Oh, I wish this hour was over, because I don’t know what I’m going to say to those kids this morning. I hope they have their reports I assigned yesterday. If so, it will be plain sailing for yours truly.” Fortunately all the children were prepared and everything went well. At ten o'clock Marine wandered to the library to read the morning paper and get a reserve book. As she passed one of the girls at the table she said, “Why work- ing so hard?” “My plans have to be in tomorrow'.” “Plans!” exclaimed Marine, “Oh, I forgot! Mine are due tonight!” And she rushed back to her room to work on them. She opened the door and there sat Juanita eating a nice juicy apple and reading a letter. “Oh, is the mail up? Did I get a letter? Give me a bite!” “There’s just one left in the sack. Help yourself. Yes, here’s a letter and a package slip,” answered Juanita. “What do you suppose it is? I hope it is a cake,” continued Marine. “I hope it’s a box of candy,” piped up Nita. Pajfe 150 FH H-.HWWI 'JH Marine glanced through her letter and then began on her long neglected plans. “Oh, listen.” said Juanita, “a bunch of the kids are coming up in the car Sunday. Won’t we have a great time?” “Think how envious the other girls will be when they see us ride off in a big Hudson,” replied Marine. “Where shall we go? We can take a lot of pictures if it’s nice, and----------” “Haven’t you anything to do? I do wish you’d keep still and let me work! I thought you were to have a test today.” “Oh. Marine, can’t you let me have a minute’s rest? You’re always taking the joy out of life!” However, she hunted up her book and began to study. Both girls wrorked hard till the end of the period and then went to class. This was Chapel day, and seats having been assigned the week before, it was necessary for them to attend. Mr. Beck nodded to Miss Hylton and she struck the chord. “It isn’t necessary for everyone to go Sh! Number 97.” Mr. Hageman led the devotional exercises and Mr. Rouse made the usual announcements and called upon Coach Speer to say a few words. Coach Speer told of the big game, the last game of the season between Doane and Peru, to determine the State Championship. Then followed a rousing pep meeting. As the crowd came out of the Chapel the sweet tones of the dinner bell at Mt. Vernon were heard and everyone quickened his step. Dinner over, Juanita took her daily nap while Marine wrote more plans. The hall was very noisy. There was singing, shouting, slamming of doors and general commotion. Nita turned over and exclaimed, “Oh, Marine, I wish you’d tell those girls to keep still. I can’t sleep.” “Sleepy-head, I imagine your theory grade would be better off if you didn’t sleep,” answered Marine. “Mr. Crago says it’s good for one to sleep a few-minutes after dinner,” replied Nita. “And if there’s so much noise 1 can’t sleep, how can I study?” “Well, you won’t get any studying done today for it’s one-thirty now,” said Marine. The girls gathered up their books and walked down stairs. “Nita, I’m going after my package at four-thirty. If you want to go, too, be here on time.” “Well, if 1 live through the exam. I’ll be Johnny-on-the-spot. Good bye.” At four-thirty the girls went down to the post office. It was a beautiful spring day. The grass was green and trees budding. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the walk and for an hour forgot their school work. 17.9 F«ko 151 When ihe girls returned they opened the package. It was a cake so they asked their special friends in for a taste. “Isn't this delicious?” exclaimed Marie. “I never tasted such a good cake!” declared Helen. “Why, Helen,” said Hazel, “That’s what you said when I got my cake.” “Oh, did I? Well, they both are the best ever, and I’ve eaten so much I won’t want any supper. Thanks, girls, for the treat. I’ll come again when I smell some- thing good.” After supper some of the girls danced in the lower hall. Marine declared she must take her plans to her critic teacher, but she would he back by seven-thirty, all ready for the game. A large crowd gathered at the game. The band played. Excitement ran high. Out came the teams! They were greeted with lusty yells. The whistle blew. The ball was tossed up. The game was on! Such playing! At last it ended. Eleven to fourteen, in favor of Peru. Peru won the championship! “Oh! I’m happy, happy, happy! Wasn’t it great?” sang Marine. “That referee was fine and it was the very best game I ever saw!” “Let’s get home. ita. I haven’t a lesson for tomorrow.” The girls only had a half hour to study, so undressed ready for bed, and settled down for a time. But before them always appeared the image of those boys playing ball. “Let’s talk. Marine. I can't study,” coaxed Juanita. “No, I guess you can’t. The lights are going out! Hurry, put up the window and climb in! I'm dead tired and it won’t be long till that breakfast bell will break in upon our dreams again.” — o---------- The Tree I love thee ivhen thy sivclling bads appear. And one by one their tender leaves unfold, As if they knew that warmer suns were near. Nor longer sought to hide from winters cold; And when with darker growth. thy leaves arc seen To veil from view the early robin's nest, I love to lie beneath thy waving screen With limbs by summer s heat and toil oppressed; And when the autumn winds have stripped thee bare, And round thee lies the smooth, untrodden snow, When naught is thine that made thee once so fair, love to watch thy shadowy form below, And through thy leafless arms to look above On stars that brighter beam when most wc need their love. —Jones Very. 1813-1880. Page 152 m EEHJSXBKZm 1 I dreamed of strolling down the street, March fourth, in nineteen forty-one, I thought that twenty years ago. Our Senior work was done. Muriel Argabright was an actress In a leading play; Troudt was the hero. The author. Gately, they say. I wondered where those classmates were, Who were so brave and strong. And these are the things I called to mind As I slowly walked along. I got my mind to working, I conjured might and main. And here’s the little story. That Hashed across my brain. The first was Skinny Bennett, A lawyer tall and slim. The great big town of Barney For Mayor wanted him. Opal Hammond beat him to it. Fdr six times straight ahead. He tried to beat the Suffragette, Politically he is dead. Esther taught the fox-trot. Every day, from two to four; Second only to Mildred Fisher. She had pupils by the score. I rang the telephone office. In Lincoln during the fair. “Hello”—then a giggle. 1 knew Anne Ranney was central there. Mona Keith was in Congress, And an eloquent appeal did make. To save the Japs from a spanking, Which they would have had to take. fhe smiling face of Curley— 1 could tell him near or far. In a flashy suit of store clothes, He was quite a movie star. Walking close beside him. Her hand upon his arm. Was Miss Zelda Redding. Who still lived on the farm. Eldie followed the same old business, And on the same old plan; Fine clothes, fine manners, a charmer, He was just a ladies’ man. A bunch of girls in bloomers, A ladies’ baseball team. With Nevada Parriott a captain, Made a pleasant dream. Ed Rosey was so unlucky, He had married years ago. And eight tow-headed youngsters Followed him about, ‘’Don’t you know?” Mary Jarvis, the midget. Was teaching a great big school, Many a one took a threshing, Because he broke the rule. Ruth Lawrence was a governess In the home of Shorty Huffer. And the shouts and tumult of his six kids Would make a «leaf man suffer. I met Clyde I vers upon the street— He whispered in my ear, “I’m the bearded lady, but don’t tell, In Ringling circus here.” Bill Griffiths was a humorist. Great stories he could tell. He made a pile of money, And made it go like—well. Neva Hoak was across the water, To Geneva she had to go. To the League of Nations Congress. But found it “Mighty Slow. Neither will I work nor worry, There’s a halo .’round my head. You have listened to my jumble. So good-bye—NulFs been said! :ir- PnKo IBS Our ship had anchored in New York harbor. I had just completed an engineer- ing project in South America and was certainly glad to set my foot on United States territory again. I spent my first evening after landing, reading the newspapers and magazines for I had been too busy the last few days to look at them. As I sat in the hotel lobby I picked up the New York Times, and to my great surprise I saw that Amy Adams was editor. The whole front page of ihe paper was given over to an explanation of a dis- covery of the fourth dimension that had just been made by two of our leading Mathe- maticians—Daisy Portenier and Ada Miles. These two professors were instructors at the University of Wisconsin and had been working for many years on this per- plexing problem. I also saw an account of the great work that was being done in the slums of New York by Mable Quiller and her husband. The next morning I left for Washington, D. C. On the train I bought a book to read. The author’s name seemed familiar and when I opened the book I saw her picture, with the signature, “Pearl Bell,” written below. It was a very interesting book on “How to Get to Mars,” and it made the trip seem short. The first person I met in Washington was Chester Sipple, who had been appointed Secretary of Education in the President’s Cabinet. He invited me to attend a recital that evening. The first number on the program was a violin solo by the celebrated Lee Hem- ingway. A later number was a ladies’ quartet. I recognized the singers as old class- mates of mine—Essie Breckenridge, Mignon Marcy, Irene Polsley, and Mable Dressier. After the recital we went to a beautiful little restaurant and imagine my aston- ishment when I rank Sharrar came to take our order. The next day I went to the art museum. Here I saw many of the statues that had been sculptured by Zayda Aikins. I left Washington that afternoon and my next stop was Chicago. As I got off the train here 1 met Luella Veach. I did not have much time to talk to her for her train left for Canada almost immediately upon the arrival of mine. Luella was going to Canada to spend the summer. That evening I had no special work to do, so I walked around after supper. I soon noticed a theatre where crowds of people were entering. Moved by curiosity, I went nearer, and found that one of the leading suffragettes, namely, Emma Fait, was to lecture there that evening. Being tired from my journey. I sauntered back to the hotel after the lecture. In the morning I was rather late getting up and I had an appointment at 9 o’clock so I left the hotel and hurried down the street. “Look out for the cars there!” yelled a traffic cop at me. I looked up very much astonished at the voice and sure enough there stood Mable Arvidson. On the way down the street I saw a big sign hung in front of a building. It read: “Madame B. Ellis. Beauty Parlor”—another of class ’21. That evening I left Chicago for Omaha. How good it seemed to be bound for my home state after such a long absence. As I sat there looking out of the window someone came up and slapped me on the back. Who should it be but Escher Landoldt! “How is the world treating you, and what are you doing now?” I inquired. “Oh, I am traveling salesman for Hender- son and Son, Chicago Grocers.” he replied. Yes, I might have known he would be connected with a grocery store when 1 think of his many hours in the hill store at old Peru. Pajre 154 US EEBDS(OK ZE He told me that he had met Ada Huff a few days previous to this. Imagine what she was doing—selling cars for the Ford Co. He said she was a very successful woman and might become a partner in the Ford Firm some day. We noticed a short, rather heavy set woman sitting across the aisle from us. We thought she looked familiar but could not tell who she was. Presently she turned around and we recognized Inez Peterson. We learned from her that her husband— a wealthy New York broker—had died and she was on her way to her old home. We had a very pleasant trip to Omaha, talking over old school days. When we entered the depot at Omaha we saw a Salvation Army woman coming toward us. We were very much surprised when we recognized her as Ethel Haig. She said she met the trains every day to direct strange young girls in the city to suitable hotels. She asked us if we knew that Professor Beck was in Omaha. He was at the St. Joseph's Hospital recovering from an operation. I decided that I would go see him before I left Omaha. The next day was Sunday so 1 dressed in my best suit and went to church. The sermon was a very touching one and after church I went to the minister. Beside him stood a tall, dark-haired woman. “Why, Dorothy Jackson,” I exclaimed. “Oh, do you know my wife?” asked the minister. They invited me to their home for dinner and in the afternoon went with me to see Professor Beck. As we entered one of the wards the head nurse, Ruth Kelligar, came to us. She took us into the room where Professor Beck was. We found him in very high spirits and ready to tell us a story—just as he always did. We learned that Mable McGinnis and Doris Mason were dietitians at the hospital. The next day I went to the City Superintendent’s office to see if any of the girls I knew were teaching in Omaha. I found that Ruth Groschick was Kindergarten Supervisor at Dundee and was a very much admired teacher. I also learned that Pearl Erisman was teaching Home Economics in Brownell Hall. As I left the City Hall I met Alice Schoenike, who told me she owned a studio in Omaha. She also told me that Beulah Mnxcy and Jessie Whalen were in the city. Beulah was a fashion model at Brandeis and Jessie ran a Matrimonial Bureau. Both the girls were enjoying their work immensely. I thought that since I was so near Peru I would go there for a couple of days and see if the dear old school looked like it did twenty years ago—in 1921. I was taken by the taxi driver to the Home Hotel, which was run by an old classmate of mine—Grace Swartoul. She was staying in Peru so her daughter could go through the State Teachers College. The next morning 1 went up to the Ad building and whom should I see coming out of the office of the Dean of Women hut Faye Farqnhar. She certainly was a very fine Dean and was much loved by all the girls. She took me into the office, where I saw Lucy Kelly, who was stenographer there. Faye told me that several of the girls I used to know were living near Peru. Zella Elliot was President of the Mothers’ Club in Woodsiding, Jean Johnson was secretary to the Mayor of Barney, and Effie Gilliland was a farmer’s wife living near Peru. Her husband w-as quite an expert on mushroom growing. Frances Gilliland was still unmarried and was running the millinery store in Peru. As I left the Ad building I heard a very piercing voice say, “Girls, I do not believe that is quite proper,” and I looked up to see Marguerite Bridges, who was preceptress at Mt. Vernon Hall. I can assure you that my visit in Peru was a happy one, but as all good things must end—I had to leave in a few days. From there I went to Lincoln. It happened that the Supreme Court was in session at this time. I had nothing to do during the afternoon so went to hear the case. When I entered the court room I recognized the judge as Edith Cole and one lawyer as Florence Monagon. Pnffo 155 When I went back to the hotel that evening I saw a familiar figure at the maga- zine stand. It was Howard McKinney. He was traveling through the country selling Public School Methods Books. There was a Larry Semon Comedy on at the picture show that night, so Howard and I decided to forget the cares of life for an hour and go to the show. You can imagine our surprise and astonishment when we recognized Gladys Eads taking the part of Larry Semon. She was a very good comedian and reminded us of the various chapel programs in Peru when she had taken the part of a boy. The next morning 1 met Marguerite Gay on the street. She was living at Bethany', as her husband taught at Collier. Marguerite and I had a long talk. I learned from her where many more of our old friends were. Margaret Powers was a State Representative. Elsie Billups was head of an Old Ladies’ Home in Lincoln. Margaret said I should have been in Lincoln a week sooner to the State Fair. Hermina Newman gave a cooking demonstration one afternoon at the fair and Roland Reeves was caller for one of the side shows. I also learned that Martha Kuebler was now working for the Victor Co. She was the comedian in their new talking records. My stay in Lincoln was cut short by a business call to California. On the train 1 met another old acquaintance. This was Nellie Carlson, who with her husband, was going to the Yellowstone Park. Mrs. Carlson said that when she was in Scotts Bluff she met Carmen Rogers and Anna Sakryt. They were both teaching there. When the train stopped at Denver another familiar figure boarded it. Ibis was Marie Brown. She instantly recognized me so came over and sat down beside me to talk about friends of our college days. Marie was also on her way to California. She had become a very prominent educator and was traveling through the country at this time getting statistics for a report for the U. S. Government. “I met Ruth Davis in Denver the other day,” said Marie. What is Ruth doing now? I remember she was always such a quiet girl.” ‘ She is married and living in the loveliest little cottage in the outskirts of the city'. I spent last Tuesday at their home and they are surely a contented happv couple. By die way, what do you suppose Faye Slagle is doing?” she said. ”1 have no idea. Is she still leaching school?” ‘‘Some time ago I was in Montana,” Marie told me, “getting some figures for my report and I walked into the olfice of the State Superintendent and there sat Faye. You remember she wanted a school in Montana when we were still in Peru. Faye said it was her second term as Superintendent.” Late that afternoon the train pulled into San Francisco. Marie was going to visit another of our old classmates—Helen Hicks—who had an art studio here. I promised to come over the next day' and see them. As I was going to the hotel whom should I meet but Frieda Meyer and her two children. Frieda’s husband owned an orange ranch about five miles from San Francisco. The next forenoon I went to the “Hicks Studio.” Helen had become one of the most renowned painters of the I . S. When I entered the studio she was busilv painting. What a beautiful model she had, I looked at it a second time, and sure enough, it was Hope Lewis. Hope had been Helen’s model for the last five years and was very enthusiastic over her position. I spent the entire day here at the studio with the three girls and that evenin' as I sauntered back to the hotel I was «topped by a little dark-haired woman. “Don’t you know me?” she asked. “Why. Inez Wilson, what are you doing in this part of the country?” “Oh. I'm writing a book,” she confessed. I can’t tell you the name of the book now' because it. like her whole book, was written in Latin. When I finally reached the hotel that night I sat down and wrote an account of my adventures since landing in New Y ork. It is that account that you have just read. UR Pagrc 156 When Schooldays Are Over When schooldays have fled to the realm of the past, And all of the friendships we thought were to last Have somehow grown dim with the passing of years, I he heartbreak of time, and the stinging of tears. We 11 hide all our sorrow away out of sight, And turn once again to the Blue and the White. We’ll see in our dream the old campus in May, With the sun shining warm through the pleasant spring day. Glad hearts beat again with the sheer joy of living. For who but gay youth knows the joy of first giving? Our old eyes will shine with the luster of youth. With all of its intimate knowledge of truth. And something of all the wild torture and pain, The much that we give for the little we gain Will be swept from our hearts by that breath from the past, That glimpse for a time that was too sweet to last, l or wisdom will come with its soothing and healing. Where the figure of age to its own youth is kneeling. And we 11 know once again as we knew in our youth. There are no illusions! Illusions are Truth! So in youth and in age, in sickness or health, In direst need or luxurious wealth. Wherever we are or whatever we do, When we need greatest comfort we ll turn to Peru. Beloved Alma Mater, thou tenderest one, We ll cherish thee ever, though school days are done. —Nina Stiles. Farewell When Commencement day is over, and we no longer feel ourselves an active part of the vital, throbbing life of Peru, we look about us at all the scenes we have come to love. What do we see as our minds and eyes wander about? First of all. the stately trees of the Campus rise before us. with their background of brick and ivy—our fancies flit in and out of the various classrooms where our days of toil have ended. Then we go down the bill to the little village nestled among the bluffs. We recall those anxious hours spent in the Post Office waiting for letters from loved ones; we gaze wistfully at the Banks, where our checkbooks wasted away. We turn away from the sordid, material things of our school life and are wrapped once more in the beauties of nature. Up, up. we go along the winding Memorial Trail, till we reach the summit, where we can rest and look out over the tawny curves of the Old Missouri as it writhes endlessly on. And as we watch the hurrying river we realize, although we are leaving —we who have felt ourselves suffused with the spirit and life of Peru, which will flow ever on like the Muddy Missouri—that our departure will cause but a ripple in the ever flowing stream. The whistle of the evening local disturbs our revery. And as we glance down to watch it as it creeps around the bend, our hearts contract with sadness because it will carry us out into life’s stern duties on the morrow, and our college life will he hut a memory. PriKe 157 Patff 15S )lrJ VffTimR • ' -- } ■ • ••■«-- • ■ 1 v Summer School County Clubs Two years ago, in the summer of 1919, began the recent history of the County Clubs under the present organization. Great movements often have been started by some little event, so it was with the County Club movement. Oh. yes, Peru had County Clubs before, so have other schools, years and years ago, but not such an organization as is in Peru at the present time. There is, and has been, united states, but not so united as has been the United States of America, in each of which there is such unity of purpose. It has been the custom for the summer school organiza- tions to put on a Big Stunt at the close of Summer School. To belter carry out this scheme it was decided to have each County Club put on a stunt. Thus two years ago the county organizations were perfected into a working factor of the school with a faculty member as advisor for each organization. The great «uccess of 1919 encouraged the better and closer organization for 1920. Each organization became a living part of the institution, and at the same time all the organizations were united into one working factor. the County Clubs do that make them so distinctive? In the past these Clubs were organized solely for social and boosting purposes and did not have their great aim, educational and cultural, as well as social. Yes, they had a President, ice President, Secretary, I reasurer. Yell Leader, Reporter, Faculty Advisor and Mich minor officers as the needs of the organization dictated. Then there were the committees and sub-committees to help make the organization a more perfect working force. the clubs go on hikes and have During the early days of the summer schoo. «.«•«. VIUI U ................ picnics and outings. Each Thursday they have their business meetings, in which all the business is transacted and the plans made. Often when there is no business on hand the hour was devoted to practicing songs and veils, or to having someone give a talk on a live educational subject. When the organization is perfected then begins the great work of the club. Peru is blessed more than any part of Nebraska with a rich endowment of Nature’s rarest and choicest scenery. 'There is a larger number of birds of different varieties in this vicinity than in any other place in Nebraska. This is due to the protection which had been given the birds in and around Peru for years before the bird study and protection became a slate-wide movement. I here are thousands of varieties of plant life. In the bottom lands on the Missouri there is the rich vegetation of the lowland. The forests are rich with its peculiar vegetation, and here and there on the fertile hills and pastures west of Peru will he found virgin spots of the wild prairie, which has not been claimed by the plowman or the ever-spreading forest, where still prairie flowers may he found in abundance. Then there is the animal life. In a fifteen-minute walk to the lakes many varieties of fish may he found in great abundance. This last fall the State Fish Com- missioner shipped six carloads of fish to replenish the lakes throughout Nebraska. These hills, vales and beauty spots, if once visited, are never to he forgotten. The students love to stand on Pike's Peak and look over the great valley to the bluffs hiding in the blue haze of Missouri and Iowa. Up or down the river they can look until the great river grows narrower and narrower and, ribbon-like, is lost in the dim mist of the distance. With all these rich treasures of nature to explore the students find the summer all too short. rrrv't uv carcaR Page 150 The summer joyous time is closed by an outdoor celebration known to Peruvians as The Big Stunt. This is the time that is known as the red letter event of the summer. No event of the year surpasses this in interest and enthusiasm. It is then that the clubs gather to have their stunts, in form of Pantomime or Pageant to portray some life or historical event in the home county. Our beautiful campus, covered with oak and elm, gives a rare setting for the big celebration. Before the pageants are given, a big parade is held with each club dressed in costume to its liking, and then in a procession led by the band around the quadrangle in snake-like alignment they march until at last they reach the amphitheater made by the gymnasium seats especially erected for the occasion. Under the arc light which makes the space under the Old Burr Oak a mystic spot, each club does its stunt. Nor is this constructive work stopped when the summer is over, for those who go to their home counties to teach, continue their club work in their home counties. In one of the counties the Peru Club organized a booster club to aid the county superintendent in making the institute a success. The roll call of the different clubs will show names from most of the counties of the state. Peru County Clubs are here to stay. May other Normals and Colleges adopt the “Peru Plan of forming live, constructive organizations for the summer session. Richardson County Club Organized June 22, 1920 President .... Helen M.

One cannot be associated with the Peru State Normal for any length of time, without coming in contact with an institution that is almost a personality: i. e.. the organiza- tion and direction of the Budget Committee. How quickly we all seek connection with the seeming personality that holds the Magic Key to the treasure house of recre- ational. literary and musical activities of the school! The Budget System is no longer as a waif wailing for recognition, hut is a lusty youth for whom many of the mem- bers of the faculty have acted as sponsors. A series of quiet, delicate questions to various older-in-service guardians of the class room, will reveal several who claim credit for the conception of the now mighty “miracle man” who can quadruple the purchasing power of a student’s dollar. These objectives by unselfish labor have been accomplished: I. The students and public are faithfully served at a minimum cost. II. The various activities of the school have been financed without stint. III. Many other worthy activities of the school have been lifted from the finan- cial slough of despond. IV. The unused balance is loaned to worthy students, thus assisting them to complete their education. The following entertainments were provided during the year just closed: Four football and six basketball games, four numbers on the lecture course, two dramatic club plays, one band and orchestra concert, one other musical number, eleven high class movies, one “gym” exhibition, and a year’s subscription to the Normalite. These, if paid for at the usual charge for single admissions, would aggregate SI 3.50. The Budget System made it possible to furnish the above enter- tainments for only $4.00. How could it he done? By united effort and loyal support on the part of the students and friends of Old Peru. Long live the Budget System! nR ’snmBn i’, cum “P‘? Club A few of the letter men of the school came to the conclusion that an athletic organization was needed to encourage athletics and to bring promising high school athletes here to enroll. Accordingly a meeting was called and the following officers were elected: President................................................Victor Bracke Vice-President...........................................Donald Wilson Secretary..................................................Paul Wilcox Treasurer...........................................Carl Rosenijuisl It was decided that all letter men would be eligible for membership, that an active member should he one who was in school and in good standing with the club, and that a member became inactive upon leaving school. Besides several lively social meetings and initiations, a very successful carnival was pulled off. which netted the club a considerable sum and enabled the basket- ball men to sport around big white coal sweaters with blue stripes and letters.

Guess! I’m writing just a little verse. To see if you’ll remember. The “funnest” thing that happened On the eighteenth of September. But there, I see it’s slipped your mind, Because 1 see you frown. And so for future reference, 1 guess I’ll jot it down. The fun began in our fine old “gym.” There, old and new students were joined together, anxious to become acquainted and have a good time. Both objects were attained for soon “lemon. lemon” was being played as fast and as desperately as possible. After that came the relay races. “Red” Brown proved that he had not yet grown up because he could drink a bottle of milk faster than anyone else. It was also decided that Miss Ellis could race as fast as anyone, for don’t you remember how she walked the chalk (line)? Some were especially fond of sitting (on the floor) for in the race with chairs they found that folding chairs do not always unfold properly and—well—accidents will happen, you know. And after the races a modern miracle appeared, for there in the corner of the room was an old fashioned well, from which, it was found, buckets of icy pink punch could he drawn. Two small hills of wafers on each side of the well were also dis- covered. And then a very terrible thing happened to that “punchy” bucket and the “hilly” wafers, lor four big devouring trains swooped down upon them and—well, perhaps you can remember what happened then to the punch and wafers. And not long after this, one could see many old couples (Mildred and C. R., 0. H. and Eldie, H. L. and Ed., for instance) and a few devoted new ones slowly zigzagging (I mean wending) their homeward way. Now this little tale is ended, And I suppose you’ve guessed, It was the first fine mixer— The one we liked the best. Dictionary of Names Barnes--Shelter for horses. Bell -Something to ring.

I was afraid not. interpret it for you. First Mosquito: Do you see all those people around that camp-fire? Well, they are Seniors.” “Aw, how do you know? Maybe they're Juniors,” said the second mosquito. “Oh. no, I know they’re not. 1 can tell from the things they say and from the things they yell. Besides, they always have more to eat than any other class. Why, they’ve got wieners to roast and marshmallows to toast and buns and pickles by the bushel basket. Bananas and pears and good cookies, too. “Say, those Seniors know how to have a good time, don’t they?” “Did you hear that joke Curley Rouse just cracked? I about split a wing laugh- ing over that.” “Let’s go and see if we can't get a bite to eat.” “Buzzezze!! (This was a bad word. Mosquitoes know lots of them ’cause thev learn them from the people they bite.) Wheel that fire was too hot for me.” “Did you heir that noise over there in the corn field? Let’s see what it was.” “Juniors! I do believe!! Come on, we can make a good meal off of them - Ha. Ha, Ha!!! Did you see those Juniors run when the Seniors started after them? They looked scared to death. I about split my other wing laughing at them. 1 guess they won’t bother the Seniors again.’ “They’re plaving games now.” But later on’ after the empty baskets and boxes had been gathered up and the Seniors had started down the moonlit road, towards town, one little mosquito said, “Buzzezze!! Sometimes I almost think I'd give up my wonderful mosquito lile if ] had a chance to he a Senior.” “Buzzezze!! Me, too!! Memories In the candle light—In the candle light—Oh, dear me! Fm beginning at the end instead of the beginning. But it was such a lovely ending and everyone had such a good time. Don’t you remember how we sat about that expression ball eating cake and ice cream in the candle light? The candle light was such fun and the cake and ice cream—well, they were more than fun, especially for the Dorm girls. ( Please excuse ’em. but “Dorm” girls just can’t help appreciating real cake.) But that wasn’t all that we did on that evening in October. You surely remember about that week of “dales.” Anyone with even a weak mind would be sure to remem- ber that. But for the benefit of those people who aren’t so lucky as to he a member of this Dramatic Club, and in case someone does have a weak mind, I guess I’ll write it down. The week of “dales” began with a “Farmer’s Love Letter.” Then came “The Tuesday Evening Recital,” “Initiation Into the Secret Society,” “Vaudeville,” “Church Social,’ “Cabaret,” and “Seeing Nellie Home.” We found that Hildegarde Yeek and Fuller Woodie could write the best love letters. Don t know why, I’m sure, but there is a saying, “Practice makes perfect,” Miss Dunn gave two splendid readings entitled “Billie Brad and the Big Lie,” and Sweet Miss Penolia.” We all laughed so over these that we just couldn’t gel the grin off of our faces and the new members reallv forgot to be bashful. On the way home, if you weren’t too interested in your companion, you could have heard such remarks as these: “Wasn’t it'the most fun?” “Say, Inez and Lee look cute together, don't they?” “Wasn’t that ice cream good?” (That was a “Dorm” .giH.) “Say, who is that with Merle Argabrighl?” “Isn’t Miss Dunn great!” “Gee! I m glad I m a new member of the Dramatic Club.

Every Senior was there and every one had a grand and glorious time from the moment he came until all the “punch” was gone. (Just ask Ann Ranney and Ed. Rosie how to turn the “punch faucet” on.) However, the buns, pickles, pumpkin pie and whipped cream evened things up for the rest of us, who were not so fortunate ( ?) drinking punch. Exciting games as “Streets and Alleys,” “Miller Boy.” and numerous others were provided to stimulate our appetites, apparently, for it was a real “feed.” Three cheers for the “eats ’ and game committees! The Musical Concert, consisting of comedy, grand opera, etc., given by the vari- ous groups at the close of the evening, was well “rendered.” Here “Skinny” dis- played his ability as leader of Symphony Orchestra, and Lee as Paderewski. As a fitting close to one evening of jollity and to demonstrate our class spirit we serenaded the faculty with Hoo-ra, hoo-ra, Sen-Sen, etc., and last, hut not least, awakened the “Dorm Juniors with Seniors, Seniors, rah, rah. rah!

The moment we entered the reception room we were rushed over to a small table,, where Neva Hoak handed out dates. There were many places we could go for our dates and we decided to go in groups and try them all. And so we started to the—well, by Hickory! here are some pictures of that party in my pocket. I'll just paste them in and they’ll tell you all about it. This is the picture of the Christmas room. You know this party took place the twen- ty-eighth of November, pretty near Christmas, so we liked this room. They seemed to think in here that we needed practice in hanging our stock- ings. Result—See the scratches on the fireplace. A row of lighted candles were placed along in rows on the fireplace and some of the windy girls were chosen Lo see who was really the windiest and could blow out the candles. We played mental te the way Opal would always lean toward Eld epathy here, too, and it was just queer 3 and Helen towards David. The first thing we did in the April Fool room was to visit the curio shop, which was most marvelous.

We had potato races and a “fat man’s” race and—well, most every kind of a race in here. We stayed here until the firecrackers, brass band and confetti got too hot for us and then we went back to the reception room and had “Brick Ice Cream and Cake,” to cool us off. And then it was time to go home and some of the folks even had dates for that.

Page 180 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET. 1921 Page 190 JTTWH-JVtm U)( The Junior-Senior Banquet I he big event is over! The Juniors, perhaps, are giving wee sighs of relief and satisfaction. Flic Seniors, sighs of contentment. For days we have been anticipating this event, imagining how wonderful it would be, yet even our imaginings did not come up to the sight that met our startled eyes on that eventful evening. W e assembled in the Training Sc hool Auditorium. What a pretty sight it was, to see the couples entering, the girls with their lovely dresses and corsage boquets—the boys so straight and tall, with their newly acquired dignity. And then, with thrills of anticipation and excitement, the couples took their places, assigned to them by Mr. Higgins. Master of Ceremonies. Slowlv we marched to the ‘ ■‘gym.” very much excited, hut trying our best to be proper and dignified. But I m afraid a few “Oh’s” escaped us when we entered the “gym,” for it was no “gym” at all, but a wonderful star-lit garden instead. A blue, blue sky, twinkling with shiny stars, looked down on a wonderful garden. About this garden was a white trellis, with large white pillars at even intervals. Huge baskets of yellow chrysanthe- mums beckoned gaily to us from the lop of each pillar. Great masses of ferns hung o er the garden wall. And in this wonderful garden were long, snowy white tables, decorated in the Junior colors, brown and gold. On the shades of the yellow candle slicks, big brown butterflies gracefully rested as if the bright lights, and the vases ol gladioli had attracted them there and would not let them go. Little yellow nut baskets smiled gaily before each place, as if to say, ‘ 1 know you will like me.” The grape-fruit cocktail added to the decoration as well as our appetites. Ed. Rosenquist. when he saw a piece of parsley emerging from his baked potato, insisted that his potato was sprouting, while President Rouse was positive that his creamed chicken was in a boat instead of a pastry case. Mr. Willy said that he thought it was mighty fine of Wilson to bring so many beets up from Harvard. And I believe I heard some little olives remark that they didn’t think it was very nice of people who didn't like them to pass them under the table to some one who did. Miss Ellis said that the candied ginger put just the right amount of pep in the lemon ice and I guess it did, too, for we all began to eat our perfection salad and tiny star-shaped sandwiches as if we were merelv beginning on the first course instead of the third. The chocolate ice cream with the orange filling flashed before us again the Junior colors and reminded us what royal entertainers the Juniors were. It was with the highest degree of contentment that we sat there, sipping our coffee and listening to the orchestra which had been playing throughout the evening. The violin solos by Miss Davis and the piano solo by Miss Shively were very effective. Then came the toasts! And what fine, inspiring toasts they were, too! Herbert Kelly, as Toastmaster (and I’m sure lie could write a book on “How to Manage I oasts at a Banquet”), introduced the topic of all topics. “Play the Game,” and the following toasts were given: “Warming Up,” by Paul Wilcox; “Toss Up, by Professor Beck; “Personals,” Mr. Gately; “Team Work,” Miss Griffiths; “Shooting the Goal,’ Miss Argabright; and lastly. “The Score,” by President Rouse. In each toast there was much fun, but besides this there was something inspiring in each, something that made one want to he bigger, and to play ihe game of life fairly and honestly with friendship for his fellow men. Let us remember those encouraging words of President Rouse—that in our future life, when we are attempting the work we have planned and set out to do, we must remember it is our job to accomplish the one we are best filled to do, one that cannot be left for someone else to take up when we become discouraged. Let us remember, loo, that song we sang at the last, the Peru color song, and keep it singing in our hearts as we take our part in life’s game.

The Stratagem is al- ways revealed by some kind god. friend oi the helpless. On the very night that quiet study hours were being enforced, two venturesome Don Quixotes attempted to attack the quietness of the dorm. By some trick of the immortal gods, the attackers’ maneuvers were sensed by a few fair maidens whose actions were as quick as their thoughts and immediately darkness reigned. With it rained a shower of water which thoroughly drenched the daring at- | tackers, who quickly retreated to the corner of Lynns’ parlor. For a short time all was calm and peaceful, but soon the enemy regained courage and made another at- tempt at invasion. The maidens who were on guard poured their ammunitions upon them so that they were driven hack in complete defeat by the shower.

SOMETH INC NEW! Back Combs for Women Without Teeth. PROMINENT CITIZEN LIVES MONEY TO WORTHY CAUSE. For some time there has been a certain feeling of the Peru State Normal that the entrance hall of the dormitory is poorly suited to its purpose, owing to the lack of sufficient corners for all couples and the presence of light. (The latter has been shown by the constant disappearance of the lntlhs.) It seems that others, too, have realized this need and we feel grateful in- deed to the citizen who has so generously given money to so worthy a cause. The hall now under contemplation is to he in the shape of a polygon, the . number of corners having not been definitely de- cided upon but it is being considered by Prof. Howie’s mathematics classes. With this improvement the Peru Ml. Vernon Hall will lead among the dormitories of the State. This ought to be an induce- ment for young men to come to Peru. CONFIDENTIAL TALK WITH MT. VERNON GIRLS.

Dere Ma and Pa and Mary Johnnie and Baby: I went to a swell party last night and I had so much fun I’m still all het up about it. These here teachers who teach us how to teach gave it to us and I'm right here to say that, I’d het my old red cow that you couldn’t find a smarter, cleverer hunch of teachers in the state. They all came around and shook hands with me and made me feel like Uncle Samuel did after his trip to New York—kinda swelled up inside, you know. Well the first thing that happened when you came in the door was that they pinned either a blue or red paper pennant on you. 1 didn't know what this was for till I saw a big red pennant in the hack which said “Harvard” on it an a blue one which said “Yale” on it, so 1 asked one of the popular guys here called Chuck Gately about it and he said those stood for schools and I was for Har- vard cause my pennant was red. I soon found out that both of these sides was a gointa play some games and the one who won the most would win. Well, first the two sides had to play fool hall and so our side put up Ed. Rosenquist which the kids call Rosy, and the other side put up Adam Troudt which are both awful good foot- ball players. But instead of playin' the real thing they only had to roll the hall along a string. Well a course my side won. Then each side pul up a base hall team and what do you reckon they had ’em do? Well they had 'em bawl with their eyes and mouth, you know, just like the baby does. Our side bawled lots the best but the judges who was three of the faculty gave it to the other side—I guess we bawled too loud. Then the next was a game called “shot put.” In this here game, two girls had to put beebees one at a time into a bottle. It was just awful funny the way those little critters rolled around. Mable was doin it for our side and her hand shook somethin awful so Mona Keith, who is one of my best friends, beat her and that counted some points for Yale. Then there was several other things which I II just barely inenchon cause you probably wouldn't understand about ’em anyway. One of ’em was a broad jump which was just too girls grinnin’ as broad as they could. There was an obstacle race on a fifty yard dash which I no will interest ma cause all it was was to wind a spool of thread on Lo another one. Then there was a ten yard dash for girls only and two girls had to run on marks that was put about a yard apart. Well our side was about the best in everything and the score was 45 to 60 for Harvard. Then they said the side which gave the best yell would gel 25 points and that would decide who won. Well the yell they gave was like this: Y-A-L-E kinda soft like, Y-A-L-E a little louder; Y-A-L-E louder and faster, Y-A-L-E awful loud and fast. Then we gave one like this: Are we all dead yet? Are we all dead yet? No, by gosh, there’s a million of us yet! Harvard! Harvard! Harvard! ou can see for yourself which was the best yell and everyone said that Harvard had won but 1 guess the judges saw that Yale was taken it pretty hard, so they gave them the devision and that made the score 70 to 60 for Yale. Then after that the people from Yale had to come over lo Harvard to get a partner for lunch. Well, a course, as you might no, all the girls made a rush for Patre 197 me but Mona Keith and Zelda Redding had a head start and Mona being the biggest, got. me. Well we all went down to the Domestic Training dining room which was all fixed up so home like and nice, like the other room and we had white cake, pert- neer as good as yourn mam. and cherry ice and two slim crinkly sticks of candy. Then we went back up to the party room and the Faculty quartet furnish us with some of best music I’d ever heard. It even beat that solo that Jonnic and me sang on the Christmas program. I like to bust a side, lafin at ’em. They sang a song about the teachers an faculty which was awful funny and which I can't remem- ber. Then we clapped so loud they had to come back and they sang Solomon Levi and my dog Bingo which I sure wish pa and Johnnie could a heard. Then we kept on clapin till they came back with a big folded paper which they said had an Italian song inside and which we was all to sing with them. And this was what was on the paper—0 wa tago Siam. Well, it was awful hard for me to sing at first but finally 1 got on to it and then I happened to listen to myself and I found out I was singing “Oh, what a goose I am. Well I tell you I just doubled up with lauffin. I just laffed and lulled so hard I couldn’t help sing the Peru color song when the rest of ’em did and I was still laffin when 1 started home and by golly I’m laffin now. I till you I sure like this school and I’m a goin to see that Jonnic and Mary and the baby all come here. Well I must close an go to chapel cause the girls as well as the President will be awful disappointed if I ain’t there. Take good care of yoursehes an the baby, I get along fine here.

Whyt Answer: Osmosis is the study of the formation of the earth. It would be almost impossible to heave it out of the study of general science. Question: What are the six simple machines? Which one would you select to teach efficiency and mechanical advantage? Answer: The six simple machines are: English, mathematics, reading, gram- mar, physics and chemistry. I would select physics to teach because it applies to energy and is practical. Question: How might the significance of root hairs be made real to a general science class? Answer: The fact that electricity can be made by rubbing the hair with a rub- ber comb might be demonstrated in the class.

Bldg. Fourteenth and P Street Lincoln, Nebraska “Mind Your Ps and Qs” This is a very old and well known saying which may be applied to the purchasing of merchandise to a very great advantage. This season there is a big cry for low prices, but one must be very careful that quality isn’t sacrificed just for making a good showing with the $ mark. Briefly said, mind your Prices and Qualities! In other words look well to the quality of the goods that are advertised at very low prices— for no matter the price you pay—merchandise is of no value to you unless it renders service equivalent to prices paid. We are headquarters for both PRICE and QUALITY. TRY US TO THE LIMIT!
