L. J. GILKESON Faculty Adviser Dimly al first but ever becoming clearer and more distinct the white man saw among the hills by the river this Peru of ours, serene and beautiful — V a' : a A’ Trv ' ToVIftfCrMWHK 1 •. —A tiny sparkling stream wherein lay all the purities of ages he beheld softly gliding by— —And where Indians had stealthily crept. Ml. Vernon Hall, home of Peru women— —Where Prowess, like that of the red man, is skill in the light of his dreaming— He saw the attainment of power, dignity, knowledge and learning— —Within those walls, many, many booths, the heritage of the ages— E a Years ago across the deep blue vast a white-sailed ship came, bringing our forefathers to this land of promise and prosperity.----- .S’r.'vJi iVfi Administration .Peruvians For over a half century, the Peru State Normal School and Teachers College has been fulfilling its mission of furnishing Nebraska with trained teachers. The quality of its work is demonstrated by the success of each of its graduates. The class of 192:1 will rank high and prove a worthy addition to the splendid roll of Peru’s alumni. The passing years bring changing problems, each requiring its own solution. This is true of individuals, of communities, of institutions. With the completion of the gymnasium and the auditorium, the building problem is nearing a satisfactory solution. A new science hall will come in time, and the housing problem of a full grown teachers’ college will then be solved. The most important problem now confronting this institution is that of publicity, of informing ambitious young men and women of the opportunity to receive here the best of training for public service. As in ancient Home, each oik going out from Peru is expected to carry the “civilization and refinement”— the training and traditions of this school—to distant places and to send back other ambitious young people to receive training for service in the public schools. We wish the class of 1923 the highest possible success. A. L. CAVINESS. Nineteen Administration 1 V. X. DKLZEI.I. Executive Dean ALICE M. ROBINSON, A. It. Dean oe Women U. 1). OVKRHOLT, It. A.

WAUGH, SR. House Mother— Mr. Vernon Hall Twenty-seven — Alumni MAJOR WILLIAM DAILY LEST WE FOROKT Colonel T. J. Majors, president of the Board of Education, was .1 member of the first legislature of Nebraska. It was thru his efforts and those of his collcagu « from Nemaha County that the first State Normal School of Nebraska was located in Peru in 1867. Every building on the campus stands as a monument to his untiring efforts of the past fifty-six years on behalf of the institution he helped to establish. Not only has he helped Peru, but he has helped to secure appropriations for building of the other state normals, lie can justly be called the Cod fat her of the Nebraska State Teachers Colleges. He is now living on his farm near Peru. Major William Daily, also a mcinb r of the first legislature, who cooperated with Mr. Majors in securing the location of the first State Normal School. During his active life, he was always a factor in helping in every way the institution that was dear to his heart. He is now living at his home in Auburn with his two daughters, having passed his four score and ten years. •S. P. Majors, member of the first Board of Education, the father of Honorable T. J. and W. K. Majors, emmigrated from Kentucky in early manhood to the new state of Iowa, and later with his family moved to Peru. He is remembered by the older citizens as a man of character and strength. •Dr. John F. Neal, member of the first Board of Education, was always a true friend of Peru, lie gave to Peru the finest campus in the state of Nebraska. For over fifty years, he practiced medicine and endeared himself to the hearts of Peru and its community. No family was too poor, no storm too great, no distance too far to prevent the good doctor from going on his mission of mercy. Daniel C. Cole, member of the first Board of Education, taught school south of Peru before the war. He talked with John Brown when he made his only trip thru Peru carrying negroes north in a covered wagon drawn by a mule team. Mr. Cole is hale and hearty, living in his home in Peru, and is nearing his four score anil ten years. •—Deceased. COLONEL T. J. MAJORS S. P. MAJORS DR. JOHN F. NEAL DANIEL C.

Our first year was made pleasant by several parties and a much enjoyed sleigh ride. Mr. Gable was chosen class sponsor and under his leadership we passed through the first year of our high school cxistance without many difficulties. Our second year was much the same, and in our third year we had the honor of being the very first Junior Class in the newly organized High School. Our class took a very active part in all school activities, being represented in athletics and debating, and having five members in the student council. The year was made pleasant, for others as well as ourselves, by parties and entertainments of various sorts. We wisely chose Mr. Brownell for our sponsor, and his kindly guidance throughout the year was much appreciated. This, our last, biggest, and best year has shown an increase in class activities as well as in students. Forty-five peppy members were enrolled in the Senior (Mass, and displayed their pep in many ways throughout the year. Because of his faithful services last year we retained Mr. Brownell as sponsor, and again we are very much indebted to him for the success of the year. The following officers were elected for the first semester: President, Francis Conkle; Vice-President, Donald Bugbee; Secretary, Helen Yeck: Treasurer, Rowena Beck. The officers for the second semester were: President, Cecil Coatney; Vice-President, Roy Vanderford; Secretary, Grant Casev; 'Treasurer, Lloyd Dallam. To show that we took the leading part in the activities of the school wc give the following facts: Every member of the basketball team is a Senior, three of them being letter men; nearly all of the football team were Seniors; the captain of the girls’ basketball team is a Senior; and five members of the debating team are Seniors. The first social event of the year was a Senior Party, given in honor of the arrival of our little red and white caps. The evening was spent in playing games, and, at a rather late hour for high school students, refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, pickles, potato salad, and cocoa. The boys promised to wear their caps until cold weather forbade, under penalty of being punished if caught without them, and all kept their promises faithfully. iD.; The next thing we were called upon to give our support to, was High School Night. A large number of our Seniors were in the Minstrel show. Another group presented the Senior Orphcum”, in three acts, which was indeed a success. Act 1 was a pantomime, How Johnny Got His Wife”. Act 2 consisted of several classical selections rendered by the Senior Quartet. Act 3 was presented by Peru’s famous Middy Chorus, and consisted of singing and fancy dancing. It was attended by nearly everyone, even the Minstrels, and their satisfaction was shown bv their reluctance in leaving. Another Senior party was given by Mr. Brownell, at the beginning of the second semester, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Many other activities were carried on, and now at the close of the year the outstanding features of the class arc presented. The Senior (Mass Play leads, with Sneak Day and the Junior-Senior picnic following, and Commencement as a grand finale to our very successful and most delightful High School days.

Cowell High Scliool football The football season of '22 while not so successful as to the number of games won, having won four and lost four, yet it was very satisfactory in several ways. Almost an entirely new and inexperienced team, yet a team full of pep, fight and persistency, and being ably led by Captain R. Bath, they developed into a combination that their opponents were unable to stop. The first game of the season won by the home team was from Nebraska City. Four games in a row were then dropped—Tccumsch, Falls City, Wahoo, and Plattsmouth. But each of the games only served as an incentive to greater effort for the rest. In the next game with Tarkio the boys found themselves and played an eleven which had an advantage in both weight and experience, to a standstill. Next came Highland College, Kansas, who fell before the attack of a team that played as one man. The last game of the season, Thanksgiving day with the Auburnites was a fitting close for the season. At no time was our goal in real danger. With the line smashing plunges of Captain Bath, Coatney bucking the line for a few yards whenever needed, O. Conkle and H. Bath tearing around end or through openings made by Parriott, Jones, or Hcywood and Van-derford, Taylor at center, F. Conkle and Jennings Parriott as ends blocking all attempts of Auburn to come through or around; the game ended 27-0 in our favor. Cowell substituting for Chas. Parriott, Dallam for F. Conkle and Barnard for H. Bath made no change in the consistency of the gains. With Hcywood at the helm next year we expect a year more successful than the past in the number of games won. Whatever the team has accomplished this year is in a large measure due to the untiring efforts of Coach -Yerkcs. The chances for a good team next year arc not quite so good as the entire first team squad graduates, but from the second team several men promise to uphold the tradition of the school. Among those who look good for next year arc C. Newton, E. Hcywood, L. Parriott, James Delzell, II. Peterson, and Charles Dallam. The great success of the team is due very much to the capable work of Coach Yerkcs and next year we believe he will develop another team which will do the school honor.

Out of a wealth of material from last year, including three letter men. Coach Yerkcs developed a strong, fast team. The first two games of the season were with fast teams and our boys, not used to playing together, lost by very small margins. But here, unlike many teams they did not lose their pep and give up all hope, but instead went into the following games with more determination to win. Here they showed what a little pep and determination will do for a team and as a result won ten games out of eleven played. Not only did they outclass their opponents in the technical points of the game but at all times the sportsmanship displayed by the home team was very pleasing to those who witnessed the games. At the Southeastern Nebraska Basketball Tournament held in Peru, the record of the Peru team was very enviable. Although they did not win the cup they went through to the finals and here lost their game by only one point to the fast Gretna quintet. As yet it is impossible to predict what will happen at the State Basketball Tournament to be held in Lincoln in the near future but we feel sure the boys will make a good showing for themselves.

Zell Chaplin V,« P cv Dorothy Peiui Secretary GIRLS CLUB Bernice Peters VtccPres Ruth Blomquist Reporter The high aims and purposes of the (Jirls’ Club will always be remembered as one of the distinctive features of the Peru Teachers’ College. The value of the teas can never be fully estimated. Their out-standing success is due, in part, to the choice of duties given the girls, permitting them to serve along the lines in which they arc best prepared and best adapted. One of the chief aims of the club is to aid, financially, by means of the Student Loan Fund, those who arc striving for an education. By gifts from former students and by local effort, this fund has gradually been growing. ‘ The students come and the students go, spreading far and wide the friendly spirit and high ideals of the club. The refined atmosphere and the high standards of this organization provide an uplifting influence in the lives of the students. Only those who have personally taken part in the Girls’ Club activities fully realize the benefits of such an organization to any college. The Peppy Girls’ Club of Peru” began its festivities for the year with a lively get-acquainted party. Then on Thanksgiving Day came the student-alumni reception. This annual gathering of Peruvians, both old and new, is one of the happiest memories of the year. The renewing of old friendships and the making of new, together with the reliving of good old College Days, brought joy and spirit of fellowship to all. On the seventeenth of February occurred the most important event in the young and happy life of the (Jirls’ Club—the birthday party. According to custom and to the natural desires of any four-year old, there were dainty and fantastic costumes, birthday cake and candles. If the success of the entertainment can be measured by the beauty of the costumes, by the attendance and by the enthusiasm displayed, it was indeed a very important epoch in the short history of the Girls’ Club.

It has not assumed the duties and responsibilities of a student control organization, nor has it a Fraternity. On the other hand it has assumed from the first a broad view of student life and has stood back of every student activity as well as all the school policies. As a club it has had its regular meetings mostly with luncheons. We have been fortunate again this year to have men, of state and national reputation in their respective lines to address our meetings. The following are the men who addressed the Club at their luncheons: Frank I). Tomson, director of publicity for the Woods Brothers Company.

Each meeting was of some value both spiritually and socially. The plan of this year’s program was to have one social, one business, one discussional, and one religious meeting during the month; in this way some exceptionally good meetings were conducted. At the beginning of the year the young men and young women have the customary mixer to start the school year with the real spirit of friendliness and fellowship. In November the organization celebrated its twenty-sixth anniversary bv giving a birthday party to which everyone was invited provided they brought their own birthday money to represent their age. The last of the year saw the new rest room completed and furnished. This can hereafter be used as a place of rest and study for girls living at a distance from the school buildings. Not only have the efforts of the girls remained within their own immediate circle but just before Christmas a collection of clothing and groceries was made to fill Christmas boxes for families in and around Peru. A drive was also made to raise money for relief of students in Europe. This was quite a success; with the aid of the Y. M. C. A. a very acceptable sum was raised by selling tags, the proceeds of which were turned over to the headquarters for immediate use. At a few of the meetings special attention was directed toward interesting all members in the national organization and world movements. To represent these Miss Appleby and Miss McClenahan have been present and given very inspiring talks. At the Estes Park meetings the topics centered around the summer conference there with the intention of inducing students to attend. At one meeting Mr. Clayburn and Mr. Brownell put on a very interesting program of slides showing the camp, and many beautiful scenes from that country. The united and whole-hearted efforts displayed have brought results that will be lasting and have made the association valuable to each member. The good work accomplished is due to the ceaseless efforts of the president and her cabinet and the advisers. Seventy-four V. W. C. A. Committee on Dress K.C. Committee Ch irmsr) U. Iy.yy.c. a.

It was first organized as a literary society in 1867—the year that the school became a state normal with Wilson Majors as President. The word Philomathcan means “Lovers of Learning”—which has been and is the motto ol every Philomathcan. The society was organized for the purpose of literary advancement, and of acquiring a practical understanding of parliamentary rules. Because of the high standards set by the charter members, a great responsibility rests upon the present supporters of the organization. When the society was first organized, there was a membership of twenty. This year we have an enrollment of eighty-eight of which sixty-three are life members. The officers consist of two advisers and three trustees, a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, literary critic, and reporter. Meetings are held every two weeks. The meetings this year have been especially fine. The musical numbers and literary selections given have shown what remarkable talent and ability we have among our students. The first social event of the year was the reception for new members, which was held in the Training Building October 6. The reception was on a very informal basis and did much toward making the new members feel that they were really a part of the organization which they had joined. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the Christmas party. This consisted of a splendid program and games. When the merriment was at its height, Santa appeared with his toy sack, and what a good time all the Philomathcan boys and girls had playing with the gifts Santa brought them. The most important event of the year was the celebration of the fifty-fifth anniversary, which was held February 8th in the High School Assembly. The meeting was an open-ses- sion and invitations had been extended to all old members of the society, students, town’s people and members of the faculty. The feature of the evening’s program was to bring back to mind the history of the Philomathcan Society. There were seven different periods represented, the years being as follows: 1867; 1S80; 1890; 1900; 1910; 1920; 1923. Before the introduction of each period, the pianist played a soft prelude to invoke the spirit of the Philomathean Society to appear. The “spirit” wore a quaint gown that might have graced some pretty girl of 1S67, when the society was first organized. In a charming manner she introduced the representative of each period and spoke of the interesting things dene by the society at that time. Many old members were there to enjoy the reminiscences of former days. Those who were not there in person, were there in spirit for many letters and telegrams were read during the evening. Many were from such well-known people as Judge I.ytton, J. W. Crabtree, H. C. Fi I ley, W. T. Davis, and E. L. Rouse. Other people whose names appear upon the early records, who have gained worthy positions of prominence are: T. J. Majors, Dr. Geo. Howard, M. C. Lcflcr and many others. We also have a good representative of Philo in our faculty. These arc: Mr. Delzcll, Miss Foster, Miss Palmer, Miss Gocklev, Miss Rhinehart, and Mr. Schocnikc. The last two members named were our advisers this year, and they have done much to make us feel that the spirit of learning is generated and nourished by the Philomathcan Society, by the love of doing. As long as this spirit exists, this society shall be as it always has been—a power for good.

Society Some fifty odd years ago an organization that was known as the Everett Literary Society was founded. In the beginning its numbers were small but with the passing years it has grown until now it is one of the most active and successful groups on the campus. Its programs arc delightful in their content, its entertainments arc enjoyable to the last and ever follow the aim and purpose of the society. Its great success of this year has been due to the competency of those in charge together with the intense interest of all its members and their cffoits to make it worth while. Particularly of interest to the society and the school was the operetta. The Isle of Chance”, which was given on the sixteenth of March in the high school auditorium. This was one of the means of revealing tc others the ability to be found in this group. Never in its history has a greater amount of talent existed among its members. There arc enough who arc skillful with musical instruments to compose a very good orchestra of which the society is and can be justly proud. The music which it provides is well worth hearing and many an evening’s program throughout the year has been made complete with its aid. Among those individuals who have contributed in making the society a success arc Birdie Baldwin and Vivian Rowe whose voices arc ever pleasing. Vera Buckles and (lencvicve Hobson whose readings have been a delight to all and Mrs. Bessie Church. Ethel Lindahl and Dorothy Wade who arc exceptional pianists, and to Miss Bcrniccc Peters who has given her time unselfishly to the society. But not all of the time has been spent upon programs or entertainments for the social hours have not been forgotten. No Everett will ever forget the good times he has enjoyed at the Everett parties. The society has done much to enrich the lives of its members and make their college life worth while.

To comply with this rccpicst Mr. Cavincss asked that a group of boys and girls be selected from the various organizations on the campus who could represent the College at this time. With but a short time to make these selections the most advisable plan seemed to be to select two from each recognized College Organization to compose this group. To make this group as nearly a student selected body as possible, officers whom they had elected were chosen. This group, when called together, responded with enthusiasm and at once made plans to represent the school with special costumes, yells, and songs. Due to the weather this trip was postponed but the group having seen the need for an organization to represent the school when called upon, decided to make this a permanent organization. Officers were elected and the name Peru. Peppers adopted. The purpose of the Peppers is plainly shown in the Preamble of their Charter which is as follows: PREAMBLE We the undersigned, having organized for the purpose of promoting the constructive activities of the College, school spirit, and for furthering the best interests of the Peru State Teachers College, do adopt these articles, as the Charter of the Peru Peppers”. With this purpose in mind a number of constructive activities have been initiated and many others supported. The aim of this group is not for personal advancement nor recognition but for supporting anything which will boost our school. Membership in Peru Peppers is not announced until graduation. According to the Charter the selection of new members is made as follows: Article II Section IV. When a vacancy occurs the President shall announce it to the club at the regular meeting, nominations will be made at the next regular meeting, election being deferred until the following meeting. The aim of the members is to make this group a body of students who will look for opportunities to promote and support all things for the betterment of our school. Its success depends largely upon two factors: First, the interest and hard work of its members; second, the support of the entire student body.

Circumstances demanded the presentation cf a play suitable to the small stage of the Dramatic Club Hall and as The Lady of the Weeping Willow Tree is easily adaptable it satisfactorily accommodated itself to this limited space. The play proved to be an enjoyable one to work upon and for four weeks the cast lived with Memory in the Land of Once Upon a Time, enthusiastically building wonderful cities, laying out magnificent gardens and making infinite seas with an April Pool. The dramatic struggle in the play exists between O-baa San, an old woman, and the Ciaki of Kokoru, an cater of unrest. O-baa San is lonely and unloved but she hides her unhappiness in her love for the Weeping Willow Tree. The Gaki of Kokoru, in order to become a human being, is required to feed upon human misery or find a perfect faith. Since he believes that misery is more easily found than faith he attempts to make O-baa San confess her loneliness to her taunting neighbors that he may then feed upon her unhappiness. In order that she may complain he causes the spirit of the Weepinig Willow Tree to take human form and become her daughter. Then as O-baa San finds perfect joy in loving her foster daughter, the Gaki sends Riki, a poet lover, to take Aoyagi away from her. However, O-baa San is not sad but rejoices in her daughter's happiness. The Gaki next tries to fill Aovagi’s heart with jealousy and thus cause sorrow between the lovers. O-baa San teaches them trust and happiness as also she teaches happiness to her sorrowing neighbors, O-Katsu San and O-Sode San. When the lovers arc re-united the Gaki then attempts to kill the Weeping Willow Tree as this would cause Aoyagi's death and bring sorrow to all of them. The perfect faith of O-baa San conquers his evil plan and also makes it easier for the Gaki to rise to human life. “Love that has been can never be undone is the expression of the faith of O-baa San and the Gaki of Kokoru is finally convinced that there is truth in such a philosophy.

He had the champ idea instilled while a member of Kansas Aggie teams and is now handing it on. His athletic record is one to be proud of. He spent four years on the football team and was rewarded with an all Missouri Valley position. He was a star performer in baseball and basketball also. Before coming to Peru he coached at Kansas State Teachers college and developed a championship team. When he reached Peru the athletic outlook was none too bright but the change has been wrought and Peru now either gets away with the championship or gives them all a run for their money. In the four years at Peru he has never had a team finish below the 500 per cent mark. This year has been a duplication of last for the basketball team has walked off with the championship and Peru held second position at the close of the football season. Peru is now given recognition in athletic circles and it has come about through Coac h Speer’s splendid leadership. We are very sorry indeed to lose the services of this able coach for the coming year.

He was adept at picking holes in the line and was an accurate passer. CAPTAIN-ELECT WALTER BUETTZGENBACH. Fullback (All-State) This was “Bitzic's second season as the old reliable and he lived up to all expectations. As a man of the tripplc threat class he had no equal in this conference. He was a great punter, an accurate passer, and could always add some yardage. MARK DELZELL. Quarterback A dependable man and always ready to go. He was a good team general and will see that Coach Speer has no trouble over the quarterback position for a year or two. A very good man at the safety position. FORREST BELL. Halfback- Speed! Say this fellow has it. Short, blocky and fast made him a hard man to stop. When on defense he showed his real form. A pass was always a failure if started his way and any play around his side would be met right on the line. iViucty-six Footfall DEAN POMEROY, Guard Dodo is a three striper and has iust finished liis most successful season. He lias played many positions on the line but found himself when he landed at guard. He plays low and always gets through. He played his best game of the season against Kearney and his place will he hard to fill next fall. GLENN FRARY. End (All-State) Frary was one of the best ends in the conference this season. He is a speedy and heady player, always being in the play. He is a fast man when it comes to getting under passes and takes them from all sides. When going down under punts lie was a mail to be feared as he always got the man. RICHARD MADDEN. Halfback Dick was the flashy half that could get through the holes in that line. He combined speed and hcadwork and could always be depended on for yards. A good man at safety as the “Spiral” was never hooted that he couldn't hold. It is too bad that the team can't have his services for another year. CHARLES PLACE. Center “Beer” knew this team needed a center and decided to fill the bill. He was an artist at snapping the ball as his passes were so well timed and accurate. On the defense he knew just how to get into the play and worry them all the time. He was a good man in a hard position and it was well filled.

They couldn't keep him out and he was never content until he had the man with the ball. GROVER MILAM. Tackle (All-State) “Dub” is a natural football man. The more they pile in the longer he could hold that hole open. On the defense he was a terror to all opposing teams. A punter sure had to hurry them or “Dub was there. He was a real tackle from the very start. GLENN GILKESON. End “Gilk knew that he had football experience enough to make good and started right in to it. He was a very good man in his position as he took passes from all angles, went down under punts like a ten second man and defied all smashes around his end. Ninety-tight Football GEORGE SHOWALTER. Guard If anyone ever showed their sticking qualities “Tiny” sure did. For two seasons he had tried and in both cases Fate had been cruel to him hut this time lie broke the jinx. A big man and a real guard is all we can say for him. LEO FAUNCE. Guard Mick was the big noise in the line. Built for his position and with a year of college experience to his credit he was right at home. He was a little too anxious on many plays and cost us many yards for off side but he always managed to even it up and leave some to spare. HOWARD BRUNDSON, Tackle A new man on the team but not a new one at the game. He plays it for his love of the sport and every game seems to see him at his best. A good man on both offense and defense is the rating he receives. He will be here for some more of the good old game. MILLARD BELL, Tackle Big Bell came here expecting to tear things up from the very start and he certainly did. He took his first football training at Beatrice and soon cinched a position on the line. He played one of his best games at Wayne and showed his ability at following the ball by picking up a fumble and getting away to a touchdown. Ninety nine l-'noth.ill I3I)e football Season of 1922 When Coach Speer gave his call for football candidates the resulting squad looked none too good. There were Capt. Willy, Rothcrt, Bitzie, Frary, Faunce and Pomeroy to begin with but the other twenty were an unknown quantity. Coach Speer went at it as he always does in that determined way and the team soon began to show championship form. YORK GAME The first test came on the home field with York as the opponent. It was an ideal game from Peru’s standpoint. Although half the team were new men they played as veterans. Capt. Willy, Rothert, and Bitzie advanced the ball yard after yard. Frary and Gilk showed their ability to share passes and the line was a stonewall at all times. The final score was Peru 43. York 0. MARYVILLE GAME The following week found our team on foreign soil. After a tiring auto ride they wound up at Maryville, Mo. Here they met their first real opposition. The game see-sawed for the first half with most of the playing in middle field. In the third quarter Peru worked the ball down to the goal and was balked twice by being offside. Bitzie then dropped back and booted a drop kick. It appeared as though Peru was to be held to a 3 point lead until in the closing minutes of the game Bitzie intercepted a pass and was off to a touchdown. Although we were victorious the game came very near being a costly one as Capt. Willy was injured and could not return with the team. KEARNEY GAME October 20, our sister college arrived for the annual battle. Kearney was near the top of the ladder and brought a heavy team to take the measure of our Bobcats. There was no feeling of confidence in Peru as the game started. Willy was still out and the team missed his leadership. Kearney pushed to the 5 yard line at the very start but were held for downs. Peru could gain but little and Kearney was punting at every chance. Delzell as safety was having trouble holding their punts and they kept the ball in our territory a good share of the time. It was not until the third quarter that Peru found herself. They then went down the field and Frary took it over on a pass. We scored another touchdown in the closing minutes of play the game ending Peru 12—Kearney 0. One Hundred Football MIDLAND GAME Our next game was with Midland. It was a championship game as both teams were undefeated. Comparative scores showed that they were well matched. The day was a poor day for football as a high wind was blowing making punts and passes hard to guage. The Lutherans played for end runs and off tackle smashes. Their line was hitting low and their interference was too much for Peru. On the other hand Peru could not get started. They sifted through and got our man before the play was hardly started. The final count was Midland 30—Peru 0. We had lost our first game and furthermore it was our only loss. The game was a success in one way in that it brought out the best in many of the fellows and showed them what they could do when called on. Frary at end and F. Bell at half played the best defensive game. DOANE GAME On November 3. we met old time rival Doane. The teams were out to show how well they could come back after a loss. Peru started their match from the very start and scored in the first quarter Bitzie going over on a line plunge after a series of plunges and passes had placed the ball on the 3 yard line. Peru scored one touchdown in each quarter, the game ending Peru 27—Doane 0. This was another game won because we had a team working as one man. WAYNE GAME On November 17. Peru met Wayne on their field in the game that was to decide the champion of the Nebraska State Teachers’ Colleges. The game was close and neither team could get away for any long gains. In the second quarter M. Bell picked up a fumble and was off to a touchdown. Soon after. Bitzie smashed through for another counter. The second half was scoreless and so Peru had won again. That 14 to 0 score gave us the championship of the Teachers’ Colleges and placed us where we were sure to land in second place at the close of the season. COTNER GAME The last game of the season was with Cotner on November 24. If Peru took this one it meant that we stood next to Midland. The team lost no time in piling up a lead. They fairly ran themselves down. Before the game ended every sub got a taste of real stuff. They felt that a good score would also help our standing and so finally stopped at 47 to 0. This ended a most successful season with six victories and one lone defeat. Every game that Peru won was decisive as Midland was the only team to score against us.

This game was played during the Home Coming and was enjoyed by the old “GRADS” who were unable to see the Bobcats in action during the regular season. The teams were evenly matched and out for blood. In the first quarter the Sophs were stopped on the 5 yard line after it looked as though they would surely score. The Krcshics put in their best bid for a touchdown in the latter part of the first half but were held for downs. The second half started with a rush, both teams determined to break that 0 to 0 tie. The third quarter was also scoreless and until the closing minutes of the game looked as though it would end a tie. The Freshies had the ball in mid-field and on an attempted pass Fritz Rothcrt slipped in and took the ball and was ofi' for a touchdown. After a 40 yard run he was brought down on the 5 yard line. One the third play the SOPHS took it over for the only count of the game. In a few minutes that were left the Freshies fought with all their might but their morale was gone and the Sophs won the closest game of the season 6 to 0. One Hundred Two One Hundred Three H.i'kdtiall WALTER BUETTZENBACH. Guard (All-State) Bitzic” played his third year of basketball for Peru this winter and certainly earned his place on the All-State team. He is a very strong man on the defense as his long reach enabled him to stop many an opponents’ shot. He has the endurance to play the floor for the full forty minutes and always seems to get his share of baskets. His favorite stunt was to start a little game of keep away after Peru had a good lead. “Citzie likes these championships so well that he is going to help win one or two more. CAPTAIN FRED RtuHEKT. Forward (All-State) Fritz” has just finished his best year of basketball. He helped give Peru the championship last year and led his team to the front this year. He is the ideal leader as he could always get the team to respond to his call for victory. He was high score man of the conference with 137 points to his credit. “Fritz” was very steady when it came to dropping in the free throws. He leaves this year but will be back for some more of these championships later so Peru can count on a good man returning. CAPTAIN-ELECT TED WEIMER. Center (All-State) Ted came to Peru after learning the game at Hardy. He played a strong game in his High School Days as Hardy has three cups that he helped win at the State Tournament. He was the man that the team needed and was soon a fixture at center. He was a good floor man, fast on follow in shots and at working under the basket. When on the defense he hurried the opponents shots so that very few long ones were scored. With such an able leader as Ted in the Captain's position next winter. Peru can rest assured of a good season. (7 t Hundred Four Basketball GEORGE WILLY, Guard “Toppy” decided that this was his year to go good in basketball. He had never given much attention to basketball while here but soon showed that he could play this game as well as he could play all others. “Toppy” was fast at getting down the court and could get back in time to break up the opponents play. He sure never stopped until he had his man. George will be with Peru next winter and will show many of these teams his true worth as a guard. GLENN FRARY. Forward (All-State) Frary went better this winter than ever. He was still just short enough to slip through and get his shot. He scored 64 points, a very good mark, but his real value was in his ability to play the floor and start a break in the opponents defense. When on the defense lie could worry the opposing team by stepping in. taking one of their passes and getting his shot away before they could cover him. Frary is leaving so Peru loses one more good player. GLOVER MILAM. Guard “Dub” had a big job on his hands to fill that back guard position but he sure took care of it as is shown by the low scores of the opponents. In six games they were held to 10 points or less and one of these was a shut out. “Dub had a way of playing the ball and not the man that allowed him to stop many shots and still avoid a foul. He played more times than any man on the team as he didn't like to be relieved. Dub was a good man to shift to jumping center and will no doubt be back for more sport. One Hundred Fil e Itaskcllull GLENX GILKESOX. Center “Gilk” took his training at Clay Center and started right olT at the very first. Me is a rangy man and fitted in with the tall fellows very well. “Gilk” had a habit of slipping down the side line and then feeding to some one going under. He covered well when on the defense and never lost his head when in a tight place. “Gilk was going better as the season went on and by the time he serves three more seasons with Peru he will have won many honors. LEO FAUNCE. Forward “Mick” was the hard luck man of last year. He was kept away from a letter by injuries but made up for it this season. He had a good eye for the basket and would register whether near or far. He played the floor with a world of endurance and was so anxious lie could hardly wait for his time to get into it. “Mick” is leaving but he has given Peru some good service and we know lie will return for more of Peru's-athletics. MARK DELZELL. Guard “Mac was playing his first season with the college team. He had played four years with the Training School Team and now graduated to faster company. “Mac is a heady player and deserves considerable mention for his good start. He entered the Wayne game here at a critical moment and seemed to set things going. He is a good floor man and often fools his man by a neat bounce of the ball. Mark will give Peru three years more of his time and energy. We arc predicting great things for Mark before he leaves Peru. One ){undied Sir Basketball € Ol) 2. basketball Season TWO TIME CHAMPIONS When the call came for basketball men this year the interest was the best shown for many years. Two reasons for this were given. First. Peru had a championship to defend and hold onto for another season. Also there was one real gymnasium to play in and everyone was ready. Some good men were lost from last years team but with Capt. Rothcrt, Bitzie,” and Frary on hand it was easy to start. The big problem seemed to be to develop a back guard as Wcimcr was looking after the center position in good shape. Dul)“ Milam soon got onto the knack of picking his man and things began to look better. Fauncc, Willy. Dclzell, and Gilkeson caught the stride and away we went. Another problem that confronted Coach Speer was to get some of the teams in this conference to realize that Peru was again a contender for the championship and for their own proof he showed them that they had better “take us on. His pleading was all in vain and so Peru started out determined to take the flag without meeting Wesleyan. Hastings. Grand Island and Doanc. Later many of these teams learned a costly lesson but all we can say is that we arc sorry and hope they come to in time to get on next years schedule. In order to be ready for the opening game Coach took his team on a trip into Kansas during the holiday vacation. '1'his trip was a very good tonic for all. LAWRENCE GAME The Lawrence C. of C. Team was a team of ex-Kansas University and other stars of that section. The game was fast from start to finish but Peru showed them how we play basketball in Nebraska and won 21 to 14. HASKELL INDIANS The following night Peru met the Haskell Indians on the same floor. Through some good team work Peru soon piled up a lead which they held until the last few minutes of the game when Haskell stepped out in front by dropping in some long ones. The final result was Haskell 15, Peru 14. KANSAS CITY ATHLETIC CLUB Here was where Peru met a trained five. Four of their players were All-American Stars of last years tournament. Although the Bobcats bad hard luck on several of their shots they spent a lot of their time learning some good basketball. They lost the game 52 to 12 but picked up many new plays. These games had no bearing on Peru’s standing in this State. WAYNE GAME This was our first game in the new gym and Peru was ready to step. Over confidence is a very bad thing and that very thing allowed Wayne to bold an 11 to 10 lead at half time. Peru had led 10 to 1 at one time Wayne scored 5 baskets in rapid succession. Coach Speer injected a little Speermint” during the intermission and Peru came back strong. Mark got in at the right time and with Fritz leading the way Peru won 26 to 16. TABOR GAME Tabor sent their team over to pick up a few pointers about Nebraska basketball and Peru showed them about all we bad. The first string rolled up a good lead and then the second string came on for a chance. The game was more even then but when the Big Boys came back for the finish the game ended, Peru 43, Tabor 14. One Hundred Seven Basketball COTNER GAME The Bobcats left for their first game away anxious to show Lincoln and Bethany fans a good brand of basketball. They certainly did. too. for at the close of the first half Peru led 13 to 1. They kept it up in the second half and at one time Peru was leading 23 to 1. Frary. Fritz. Ted. and Bitzic stopped at 36 while Cotner counted but 9. Peru’s defense was very good as Cotner scored only 4 field goals. Rothert was high point man with 16. KEARNEY GAME Kearney came to Peru determined to win this game. Seventeen times they had tried and failed and once more Peru set them down. The “steady” four were going good. Weimer counting 12 points with Frary, Fritz and Bitzic right behind him. The score at half time was 20 to 2. The second string came in for the last part of the game and held Kearney about even, the result being. Peru 28. Kearney 9. Tough Luck. Kearney, hut we will be out to see you later on and perhaps you can do better then but we rather think not. CHADRON GAME Chadron came to Peru after a hard trip across Nebraska and took the very same medicine as Kearney had the week before. 28 to 9. Peru's defense was nearly perfect allowing Chadron but 2 field goals. Dub” was in on every attempt and they were fortunate to get the 2. Capt. Fritz. Ted. and Frary saw to it that the score kept piling up and the second string played exceptionally fast when they came in for their turn. MIDLAND GAME Peru started out on what was supposed to be a very hard trip. They stopped at Fremont for the first game. Against Midland the Bobcats put on their best exhibition of basket tossing, shooting from all corners of the floor. The final score was 49 to 18 and the Midland students admitted that Peru played basketball just a little better than Midland ever expected to. Ted and Fritz were high men again. DANA GAME Dana College was next in line and really expected to show Peru some fancy stuff. The floor was small and both teams played rough and tumble. Dana did manage to get 7 points in the 40 minutes but the Bobcats gathered in 43. Capt. Fritz just couldn't miss and dropped in 12 field goals. Dana was willing to concede that Peru had the best team in the Conference. WAYNE GAME The Wayne game was to be the dangerous one of the trip for they were out for revenge. They wanted to even up for their early dcfcate at Peru. The Bobcats were tired during tlic first half and it ended Peru 12. Wayne 8. In the second half Fritz. Ted and Frary got up steam and walked away with an easy victory 33 to 10. “Bitzic and Dub sure did some good guarding as Wayne scored but one goal in the second half. When Peru returned from this trip they ranked as the class of the Nebraska Conference. MIDLAND GAME Midland came to Peru for the closing game of our tournament. The visiting teams were looking forward to a good game and were not disappointed. Lundberg. the tall Midland center, gave Midland the ball at the tip off but Peru played them close and the first half ended at 10 all. As in all games before Peru came back strong in the last half and while our guards covered them closer Ted and Fritz ran our score to 32. The second string finished it up. the game ending 32 to 12. One Hundred Eight Ilnskethall COTNER GAME Cotncr came to Peru for the last home game of the season. The crowd was not as large as usual due to the stormy weather but those that were there sure rooted for the old home team. Peru was having trouble on her long shots but gradually pulled out in front. The SUBS” put up a good fight in the last half and made a closing score of 36 to 14. As usual Fritz and Ted led in scoring with Frary coming in for his share. Bit .ic and “Dub forced Cotncr to shoot from the center of the floor and they were fortunate to score 4 baskets. KEARNEY GAME Here comes the scandal. When Peru left for Kearney the championship depended on this game. The Bobcats could hardly wait for they wanted to get it over. When Peru met Kearney for the nineteenth game between these schools they accomplished the impossible. THEY SHUT THEM OUT. The first and only shut out game of the Nebraska Conference. Playing on a foreign court and to win 33 to 0 is a record that never will he equaled. Peru led at half time 21 to 0. In the last half Kearney begged for JUST ONE POINT hut Peru would not let up and the Nebraska record was established. The Wesleyan team went through the season undefeated hut they had no 33 to 0 victory to show and in December when the State Board makes the award Coach Speer will bring home the cup. So the season dosses with PERU AS TWO TIME CHAMPS AND STILL GOING STRONG. THE SEASON RECORD AT LAWRENCE. KANS__LAWRENCE C. OF C__ AT LAWRENCE. KANS__HASKELL INDIANS .. AT KANSAS CITY....K. C. A.

Both class loyalty and fine sportsmanship were shown by both classes. The Freshman, all experienced high school basketball players, showed great skill in making clever passes and their work deserves much credit. Leave it to Pearl to get tlu ball and with a slight hokus-pokus'’ (?), roll the ball into the basket. Wanda was there (almost before the ball was) to catch center’s toss. Many of the other freshman girls deserve credit for their “hard-worked-for victory. The Sophomore girls kept up their good spirits throughout the game. Ida Hey wood, captain, played to the best of her ability. Lucille made some very fine lengthy tosses into the basket and together, she and Dorothy kept the “fresh guards busy. The Freshies deserve the honors won from the SOPHS. Olympic (Hub The Olympic Club, under the guidance of Miss C. M. Minnie, is the Girls' Athletic Association of the college.

A lovely spring day that preceded it with its warmth and purity, was as a prelude to the wonderful oratorio which in itself had power to lift the audit nee from commonplace realities out and up to realms of things godly. The concert opened after a short explanation by Miss Carpenter, the director, with the earnest appeal of the Prophecy to the gloomy, degraded world to prepare for the Light to come. With this came the soothing comfort of the infinite promise of the coming Saviour—the Messiah. The tenor soloist, (icorgc Showaltcr sang the first recitative Comfort Ye My People”. The chorus continued the Prophecy with convincing volume as one powerful voice. Handel's contra-puntal treatment of this subject brought home to every one the awe-inspiring fact that truly. “The (Ilory of the Cord Shall Be Revealed . Mr. (). M. (iood and Mr. Carl ton Meek, bass soloists, sang the remaining solos belonging to the Prophecy— Thus Saith the Lord of Hosts”. Behold Darkness Shall Cover the Earth and The People That Walked in Darkness . The Nativity was probably the most impressive part of the concert. Mr. Iloich at the organ in Handel’s Pastoral Symphony”, created a most peaceful, pastoral atmosphere such as was suggestive of night on the hillsides of Bethlehem. This immediately preceded the aria I'or There Were Shepherds”, by the soprano soloist. Miss Esther 15. Blankenship. After the soprano hail completed the story of the Angel’s appearance, his great message and the sudden appearance of the multitude of the heavenly host, the chorus came in promptly with the praises of the heavenly host, (Ilory To (iod in the Highest”. A contralto duct He Shall Feed His Flock”, by Mrs. O. M. (Iood and Miss Bert ice Kennedy, preceded the children’s chorus, singing forth their invitation, Come Unto Hint All Ye That Arc Heavy Laden”. The unvoic d response of the audience that went back in silence to the pleading of those beautiful young voices coming from a side balcony, was a response to the appeal of the divine. For indeed, they ini-pi i-sscd one as lieing divine. The Passion as it was presented brought to mind again the sacrifice and sorrow involved in our salvation. But the sorrow, which every one was made to feel, was all dispelled when the hopeful chorus burst forth their Lift Up Your Heads, O Ye dates . The pleasing voice of the soprano gave all assur Mice to the doubtful soul that indeed I Know That Mv Redeemer I.ivcth . And this was doubly assured and manifested in the gloriously triumphant chorus Hallelujah! The Lord dod Omnipotent Rcigneth”. which was supreme in its splendid rendition by the local chorus. Miss Dorothy Wade and Ethel McMastcr accompanied at the piano. The chorus was drawn from the college and high school students and of the people of ihe community. The children’s chorus was drawn from Iwith the District School and the Training School. Through the cooperation of the Peru Chamber of Commerce, and mostly through the supreme ctToit put into the pr sentatiou of the Messiah by Miss Carpenter, the community and college enjoyed a rare musical treat. It was not only Miss Carpenter's energy of mind and body that she put into it but also hci soul. I'or surely without all three of these and the high motive which moved her to do it, the Messiah could not have been the success that it was. One Hundred 7 wenty-seven One Hundred Twenty-eight One Hundred Twenty-nine Society Our Ctlass One day in September, 1921, the east section of the Pern Chape! was crowded with Freshmen. Their shining faces, gay apparel, and lofty ideals were seen by the Spirit of Pep, who wondering from whence the bright light shone, came quickly and alighted on one of the open east windows of the Chapel. She was instantly attracted by the Freshmen, and conceived the idea of following them through their first year and thus giving them a good start on their college life. Pep immediately began her self-imposed task. She accompanied the Freshmen on their first picnic, and such a good time as they had! She laughed with them at their Hardtime Party. She was an interested spectator at the Freshman-Sophomore Class Games, and rejoiced over the Freshman boys’ victory. Pep helped make the Banquet a success. She let no opportunity of showing her interest in the brilliant Freshmen pass unheeded. The result is the peppy Sophomore Class of this year. e innlttg of Jnrtendsfyips What can be more noble than to be an instrument in helping make friendships? Every year the religious organizations take this duty upon themselves by giving a Mixer. It is always an evening of enjoyment and this year it was expecially enjoyable. From the time the new students entered the doors of the Training School until they left, they felt that everything was being done to help them get acquainted. Getting as many names signed on a paper as possible was the first means by which everyone could get acquainted. 'I'hc grand prize which went to Mr. Grandy was a grand dime and pin”. There followed a program on which our celebrated flapper” was billed. He” gave a graceful, jazzy dance with two girls. The crowd w’as divided into two groups, one remaining in the assembly room, the other going to the gymnasium. In the assembly room the guests were made to go through many contortions and it was a test of their physical equilibrium. (We thought their mental equilibrium would be put to a test later). The group in the gymnasium enjoyed relay races of all sorts. By the time the football relay had been performed three times, the players were actually following rules of efficiency as laid down by some of the players of the evening. To end the entertainment right, delicious refreshments were served. These were enjoyed and when it was time to leave, the appearances of some departing couples assured the committee that it had fulfilled its aim in helping to start friendships. Tftcarite? deception We could not send the Kearney Antelopes home with the thought of defeat too prominent in their minds, so we gave them a reception after the football game. In the afternoon the Kearney team proved to us that some real folks live at Kearney, but the reception as well as the Bob-Cats proved to the Antelopes that some real folks live1 at Peru, too. The college orchestra furnished us with music, while the visiting team and the Peruvians were getting acquainted. One Hundred Thirty Society The program consisted of: Vocal solo ............................................................ Louise Harris Piano solo .........................................................Mrs. (J. Church Reading ............................................................Harriet Glasgow Burlesque Act ....................................................................... Dancers: Iris Tobler and Thelma Howe. Soloist: Birdie Baldwin. The next feature of the program was a football game between Kearney and Peru, which was very realistic. This was pantomimed by a group of college girls. During the pantomime a poem, composed by Miss Bernice Peters, was read. Both teams did good playing and no one was injured. Who thinks now that girls can’t play football? Refreshments of cocoa and pumpkin pie were served at the close of the evening. ♦football 5 eceptioix$ At the close of our most successful season, a sturdy bunch of football men gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Speer for the purpose of enjoying a banquet prepared in honor of the team. They were far from disappointed, for there was a table elaborately decorated and covered with food lit for any king. After doing justic to such an elegant banquet, we were entertained by speeches from various members of the team, Mr. Speer acting as toastmaster. We talked until three o’clock in the morning and then departed with smiles, pains, and buttonless vests. Thanking Mr. and Mrs. Speer for their kindness to the team throughout the season, we arc your loyal team of 1922. In a few weeks Mr. Linn invited the team to attend a banquet prepared by him to show his appreciation of their splendid work. Upon entering the dining hall, we were dumbfounded for there was a table, which resembled a flower garden. Our little cupid football man was in its midst, wearing three service stripes to indicate his presence at three consecutive banquets. But do not think that it was entirely a flower garden, for before the evening was over, we had attempted a ten course dinner. Did we enjoy it? Well, just ask any of the boys. They say to forgive and forget. We may forgive him for the sleep we lost, but forget his banquet— never! Words cannot express our gratitude to him but we arc certain that he shall always be remembered as our football friend. Thinking that two banquets were not suflicient for the team, President Caviness invited them to attend a third one at his home. It was not a bachelor affair, each man being allowed to bring his lady friend. This won the favor of all. When we had gathered at his home, we were instructed by our host and hostess to search for our photographs, placed in different parts of the rooms. Here we were greatly amused for we found the Coach at the age of three playfully splashing in a bathtub. After finding these funny faces in funny places, we spent the remainder of the evening playing games and listening to musical numbers by several members of the party. After such splendid entertainment, we thoroughly enjoyed the most delicious refreshments which were set before us. Only too soon did the hour of departure arrive, but we left convinced that President and Mrs. Caviness are marvels when it comes to entertaining young men and women. At the end of our basketball season Mr. and Mrs. Speer again prepared a banquet for the team. “Enough said” for we all know their ability in preparing banquets. Ask a letter man. One Hundred Thirty-one Society Z3l)e .first Hfome-(Lommg 1922 The first annual Home-Coming was a great success. We feel that this success was due to the real spirit which every graduate of Peru has for his Alma Mater. Those who were Freshmen last year, when they saw the familiar faces of the graduates of 1922, experienced the same feeling one has upon meeting classmates after a vacation. As Mr. Maxey said at convocation, the school has progressed hut the former graduates feel that the same spirit which was prevalent when they were an active part of the school, still exists and welcomes them on their return. There are many reasons why every college should have a Fall Home-Coming”. The school is not only the logical meeting place for the alumni, but it furnishes recreation which has a far reaching influence. It renews and keeps up the interests of former graduates in Peru College of today, so that they feel that they have the support of the entire Peru Alumni. As soon as the alumni began to arrive, the spirit of host and hostess was kindled in each student. All who had special duties toward furnishing events for the Home-Coming had as their aim to make the entertainment as pleasurable as possible. A reception was held in the faculty room after the high school game on Thursday afternoon. Thursday evening the girls of Mt. Vernon Hall entertained the alumni by a party. The concert given by the Faculty Orchestra was the main feature of the party. The program which it rendered was fine enough to be given at any public performance, and the school may well be proud of their Faculty Orchestra. At convocation Friday morning we were again reminded of the spirit of the school and although it was regretted that the new chapel was not completed, the program did not lack the true spirit. The Freshman-Sophomore game was enjoyed by the alumni because they could look on unprejudiced and they realized that in it all was the spirit of good fellowship” which has always existed between the classes of the school. By next year the auditorium will be completed and the Home-Coming event may be carried still farther for the appreciation of the alumni. y x6 3 resl)maTi Ipavly We came in aprons and overalls early in the fall And a mighty good time was had by all. Our first Freshman party was a prophecy of the peppy good times which were in store for us. Everybody entered with zeal into real old-fashioned country games. For proof of the success of Skip-to-rny Lou, Mr. Holch will be glad to testify. We arc confident of the fact that Mark did not borrow his costume. It was too realistic and became him too well. Our pink-cheeked, dainty, little country lasses shone brightly among the sturdy stalwart, native Nebraska sons. Can we soon forget Captain Jinks and Three Old Maids a Skating Went? Years and college cares slipped from the shoulders of all and were lost in the realm of good time land. For who could be sad, or who could even he dignified among the jollities of the evening? When we see a little girl with her hair in two pigtails, rolled up and tied in back of the cars, we will remember Desda who assumed this girlish style of hairdress. Along with this we must not forget to mention Hugh Stoddard's monstrous patches on his well-worn overalls. Millard Bell and June Taylor in quaint costume and powdered hair assumed the role of host and hostess in their imaginative country home. Forrest Bell was most impressionable in his khaki work-a-dav clothes and high topped boots. One Hundred Thirty-two Society Girls who had been raised within city walls experienced a sample of the Rood times their country sisters have. They appeared quite at case in their gingham gowns, and enjoyed the quaint games whole-heartedly. The best was left for the last. Our aproned lassies showed their ability in culinary art by preparing real “cats . Pie-a-la-mode vanished like lightning, likewise did the cocoa. By the splendid cooperation of trustworthy sympathizers, the wily Sophomores were deprived of the joy of sharing Freshman “eats”. All too soon the lights blinked, and in true old-fashioned style everybody went home happy with a lollv-pop, hoping that more good times would soon follow. Sophomore The first Sophomore Party was one which will not soon be forgotten. Wishing for a change from the usual order of parties, the class decided to have a Backwards Party.” Members of the class, dressed backwards, entered backwards through the back door of the Training Building and proceeded to the auditorium where numerous games were played and stunts performed. 'Flic entertainment was begun by all singing “Good Night Ladies. Several games were enjoyed and then the class was divided into families, each of which was requested to perform a stunt. Varied and clever were the ones shown, all of them being done backwards. No one was backward” about partaking of the refreshments which were served backwards. As the members of the class started homeward, greetings of “hello could be heard, instead of the usual “Goodnight.” “5iativitp” The Nativity was presented by the Play Production class of the college on Wednesday, December 20, at the regular chapel period. An atmosphere of real Christinas worship was created by the class. As the story theme was read to the accompaniment of soft music, the characters slowly acted the various scenes with emotion and impressiveness that made it seem indeed one of reality. In the first scene, the angel of God, Gabriel, appeared to the high priest proclaiming that unto him and his aged wife a son should be born whom they should call John. Between scenes Christmas carols were sung. The music did much to lend itself to the solemnity of the scene. The next scene was the Annunciation in which the angel appeared unto Mary and told her that she would be the esteemed one to give birth to the Lord Jesus. Shepherds tending their flocks when the angel appeared unto them proclaiming the joyful tidings was the third scene. This was unusually well portrayed in the humble devout appearance of the shepherds. As the curtains parted for the last scene with the Virgin Mary bending over the babe with Joseph at her side, the shepherds and wise men came with adoration, bringing gifts to the little Lord Jesus. The halo from the Iloly child encircled the face of Mary, giving the scene a divine atmosphere. The scene closed with Mary and Joseph fleeing with the young child into Egypt to escape Herod's cruel proclamation. One Hundred Thirty-three Society The Divineness of the theme, the harmonious colors, and the simplicity of the scene did much to leave within our hearts the spirit of that First Christmas and to rejoice anew at the joyful tidings. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord . i)c6lcatton of The College made a great success of the gymnasium warming, January sixth, by putting on a “circus”. The student body and the faculty were divided into groups by the committees and each group put on a stunt. The orchestra opened the entertainment and kept things lively all evening with its music. “Bud Clark, dressed as ringmaster, announced each attraction and the group that was giving it. The stunts put on by each floor of the dormitory were “winners”. The Third Floor girls’ parade put to shame those of Barnum and Bailey. The scenario entitled “Wild Nell of the Plains”, which was presented by the Second Floor girls, was so realistic that no doubt half the onlookers dreamed that night of being captured by Indians. “The Hidden Crystal Gazers acted out by the First Floor girls, showed a number of the students as they will be ten years from now. The Faculty’s Radio Concert was very realistic. News, music, and other interesting things were heard from a local station, St. Louis, and even London. Everything was distinct, and several times highly amusing. The different rooming houses turned out their quota of talent. The Casey House showed the Follies of Fashion” since 1615 to the present. The Topsy Turvy” stunt put on by the Baldwin House group was wildly cheered bv the audience. The Holch Tumblers were the best of their kind on earth. The gymnast was both clever and skillful in his work and the tumbler, a clown, was beautifully awkward in his attempt to do the stunts that were set for him to imitate. The “Buffalo Bill’s Famous Wild West Show”, enacted by the Dasher House, fully lived up to the name and was well received. The Crago-Eason-Neal Chariot Race” was wild and exciting, and made the blood pound in our veins in ecstasy to see the prancing steeds careering about the arena. The Farley House group put on a Polo Game” between Harvard and Yale. The ponies of the victorious team gave fifteen whinnies” as a token of pride in winning. 'I'his did not end all of the clever .stunts. Our hearts were deeply touched at the troubles of a modern depot agent as shown by the Home Folks. The Northwest Section put on the Patent Medicine Vender” in which Doctor Kill or Cure with the assistantancc of Nose , the office boy, cured everybody who called, with medicine from the same bottle. The “Review of Historical Events” given by the Avenue people won loud applause from the onlookers. The audience was presented with candy and apples at the close of the circus. “7 Lmk t The Peru Peppers conceived the idea that a “P” Blanket installed in the new Gymnasium would not only be a splendid means of showing our team the pride we felt in their successes, but would also be a testimony to classes of the future of the spirit of this year’s student body. The above plan was carried out by the P club. Contributions were made by admirers of our team, and soon enough money was raised to buy the longed-for blanket. The last night of the Tournament, the beautiful blue blanket with the letter P and ’23 in white was unrolled for the first time, over the heads of the student body. It made an impressive sight for the great crowd of friends and visiting teams that were assembled. The blanket was again unfurled at the last basketball game on the home floor, in which Cotner met defeat. One Hundred Thirty-four Society Stunts of tt)e Stuntiost ear Numerous and clever have been the stunts performed this year. Convocation exercises, parties, and in fact most every instance in which a group has been assembled together, have left a lasting impression upon us because of some unusually striking stunt. What name could more fittingly characterize this year than the “Stunt Year ? Before the football game several Peru Flappers and Cake-eaters entertained at convocation by acting as though they were seeing the Peru ---- game on the screen. How enthusi- astically Miss Palmer and Miss Blankenship chewed gum! “Bob” Parkinson, greatly excited, had no discretion in using her fists on Grandy who sat in front of her. Every time Peru made a touchdown, the “audience” rose and cheered wildly. Needless to say, Peru won the game. Who could forget the stunt with which the Sophomores entertained at convocation? It was at this meeting that David Costello demonstrated the “I'akim Oppositckatin”, a machine of remarkable power which would change the features, size, or stature of any one present, according to his desires. Volunteers were called for. Several who wished to be changed ventured to the demonstrator, made known their wishes, and were at once placed in the machine. The process of change was begun. Oh, the groans of the victims and the rumble of the machinery! But they who withstood the torture were gratified to find that, after they emerged from the machine, their desires had been granted. When the audience saw Tiny Showalter come out a slender youth, the demonstrator could scarcely supply the demands of buyers. The original stunt that the Everetts gave when it was their turn to entertain at convocation, will long be remembered by the spectators. It showed in truly realistic fashion the troubles of a Ford owner. Four young men represented the wheels and another was the “spare tire”. Mr. Teich, the owner of the Ford, had great trouble in keeping the tires inflated, but the great climax came when, like the wonderful onc-hoss shay, the entire machine played out, spilling its occupants over the stage. “During Illiteracy Week” the History Department entertained. Their representation of America as a Melting Pot was very striking. “Bud” Clark, dressed as Uncle Sam had something to say about each person that he stirred into the Melting Pot. There were foreigners, illiterate mountaineers, a negro, an Indian, and a factory girl who were turned into desirable citizens by “Bud’s” efficient stirring. Another original stunt was that representing the sale of Peruvians. The stage was furnished to represent the Peruvian Office. Dick Madden thought that the surplus money from the sale of Peruvians would enable the editor to take a trip to California, besides leaving the rest of the staff enough money to buy a cigar apiece. How eagerly the prospective buyers devoured the pages of the Annual (Sears Roebuck Catalogue). As Ruby Thompson looked through the Faculty Section, making remarks about each one, several students dressed to represent the different members of the Faculty passed across the stage. Mrs. Waugh was well represented by “Pat” Hcafcy. The office force was swamped with orders for the Peruvian. “Beer” Place, dressed as a girl, was too late to get an annual. Heartbroken, he squeezed a sponge, causing large tears to fall and then fainted. Just then, Gwendolyn Mallory, as Grossoehme, came along with the “orders to close up . Seeing the girl, he gave a sympathetic gesture and with the words, Oh, I understand, I understand”, he tripped lightly out. The curtains were pulled from before the blackboard disclosing the Moral: Buy Your Peruvian Early”. At the rally before the Chadron game, a short pantomime was given. Harriet Glasgow as Miss Championship was constantly attended by her devoted suitors, Mr. Peru, Mr. Wayne, Mr. Cotner, Mr. Kearney, and Mr. Chadron. How they hovered about her to get her favor! But Peru, of course, held her attentions the best, and as the other suitors came near her, they were quickly disposed of by the brave Peru”. Mr. Kearney was more gallant than the rest of her suitors for he brought her a box of candy. Mr. Midland and Mr. Wesleyan paced in the background watching for an opportunity to have Miss Championship”. But with Peru at her side, Miss Championship” was safe. Flic above by no means completes the list of stunts performed during the year, but merely serves as an example of others as clever and original. One Hundred Thirty-five Society FRLSHMAN-SOPHOMORE BANQUET, 1923 One Hundred Thirtystx Society Ot)£ Jfrestjmari-Sopbomore banquet Friday, April 13, 1923, has passed, and with it has gone one of the most happy and successful evenings spent in Peru. This was the day of the Freshman-Sophomore Banquet. It may he that there were sighs of relief from the Freshmen, but there were undoubtedly many more sighs of contentment and exclamations of admiration. 'Flic Freshmen first assembled their guests in the kindergarten room, which by the use of rugs, furniture, and ferns, had been transformed into an inviting reception room. Then Mr. Boren, Master of Ceremonies, formed the line of march, and to the strains of sweet music we were led into a phantom of delight. It was a fairy-land garden in far-away Japan. The roof was made of wisteria vines and moss, and beyond the lattice work were rows of blossoming cherry trees. And then a touch of real Japan was added. At the entrance into the garden was a pagoda, covered by vines of wisteria. The tables were illumed by tall amber candles, and favors of slant eyed Japanese Maidens stood at each plate. The Menu prepared and served by the Domestic Science Department was a typical example of their efficiency and skill. The courses were served by fair maidens of Japan, dressed in their native costume. They did their work to music in an orderly and rhythmic manner, thus making it a pleasurable task. The following courses were served: Amber Cocktail Roast Chicken Oyster Dressing Mashed Potatoes French Peas Olives Buttered Rolls 1923 Salad Wafers Maple Nut Ice Cream Cake Coffee Mints The first number of the evening, given immediately after the guests were seated, was a “Butterfiy Dance” by Mary Shirley Holch and Opal Cowell, performed in a true butterfly fashion. Music was furnished throughout the evening by the Faculty Orchestra. In addition to these numbers were two vocal solos by Miss Esther Blankenship, and two violin solos bv Mr. Vladimir Jisa, appreciated and enjoyed by all. Finally after the coffee and mints had been served the Jinrikisha Man from the land of the rising sun, introduced the speakers of the evening. He was none other than Mark Delzell, the Toastmaster. Skillfully he guided us through the evening and acquainted us with his followers, who addressed us thus: Okaeri” ......................................................Mr. M. Bell, ’24 Odenasi” .....................................................Mr. C. Clark, ’23 “Omedato” ..................................................................Pres. Cavincss “Irrashi” .....................................................Miss D. Pettit, ’23 “Chon Chon”....................................................Miss M. Miller, ’24 “Sagonara” ..........................................................Miss G. Tear “Naruhodo”, which was to have been given by Colonel Majors, was left untold because of his absence. The evening was brought to a happy and successful close, and left the tic of friendship between these classes more firm and true. One Hundred Thirty-seven Class Play Sophomore (Hass lay— A.s $?ou Hike Ut WILLI AM SI IAKKSPEARE The Sophomore Class chose “As You Like It” for their class play because of its fittingness in dedicating the new Auditorium. The play was presented according to the William Warren edition. It is very delightful and is just like a summer vacation. There is an open air feeling about this play and one hears the waving forest boughs and the forest streams of Arden, where “They fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the Golden World . Sweet are the uses of adversity”, moralizes the banished Duke, and external material adversity has come to him, to Rosalind, and to Orlando; but if fortune is harsh, nature—both external nature and human character—is sound and sweet, and of real suffering there is none in the play. All that is evil remains in the society which the denizens of the forests have left behind; and both seriously, in the characters of the usurping Duke and Oliver, and playfully, through Touchstone’s mockery of court follies, a criticism on what is evil and artificial in society is suggested in contrast with the woodland life; yet Shakespeare never falls into the conventional pastoral manner. Orlando is an ideal of youthful strength, beauty, and noble innocence of heart; and Rosalind’s bright, tender womanhood seems but to grow more exquisitely feminine in the male attire which she has assumed in self-defense. Possessed of a delighted consciousness of power to confer happiness, she can dally with disguises, and make what is most serious to her at the same time possess the charm of an exquisite frolic. 'I'hc melancholy Jaqucs is charged by the Duke with having been a libertine; he has certainly tasted all manner of experiences, but not very earnestly pursued either good or evil. He is a sentimentalist, and in some degree a superficial cynic. Yet the duke loves his company, and at the last can ill part with him, when to try one newer experience Jaqucs will join the Duke’s brother, who has put on a religious life. Jaqucs is not a bad hearted egoist, but he is a perfect idol seeker for new sensations and an observer of his own feelings; he is weary of all that he has found, and especially professes to despise the artificial society which yet he never really escapes from, as the others do. His wisdom is half foolery, as Touchstone's foolery is half wisdom. Because the characters arc of different types, the entrance of each gets the attention of the audience. In the end everything happens as you like it . THE CAST Rosalind ....... Celia .......... 1‘hoclic ....... Audrey ......... Orlando ........ Touchstonc ... Oliver .........

One Hundred Fifty-one Organisations ATHLETIC OLYMPIC CLUB There arc numerous athletic organizations for girls in Peru, hut perhaps the best known is the Olympic Club. In order to become a member one must be able to: stand on the head for 20 seconds, look bravely at a mouse without screaming or trembling, and walk clear around the gym without pausing to rest. After these endurance tests have been successfully passed the applicant fills out a membership blank. The following blank already filled out, will be of assistance to those desiring membership.

Athletic Organizations, Ye OJet Camel Club is the most select on the campus. This is tine to the extremely high qualifications required for membership. These qualifications hitherto kept secret, arc for the first time herein revealed. They arc: patent leather hair, a rare line, a keen woman, at least three stained finger-tips, having been kicked out of at least one school—preferably the University—before coming to Peru, the ability to drive a ear at sixty per with one hand, and the ability to smoke either Camels, Chesterfields, or Fatimas continuously. Meetings arc held regularly once a year in the Auditorium. At these meetings topics of importance in the athletic world are discussed, such as: women—their complexion and dress, bluffing the landlady, what to do with a Dorm girl after 12:30 I’. M. and how to get by the Profs. Circat interest is evidenced at these meetings which usually break up at an early hour because of engagements with the weaker sex. THE FUSSERS An athletic organization open to both men and women is the 1'ussers’ Club, sometimes known as the Strollers’ Club due to the fact that the chief sport of this group is strolling. Each member ( Member in this ease means two—a representative of each sex) is required to take 10 strolls each week, no matter what the weather. Three of these strolls must be from the campus to the Cemetery Seat and four must be from the Crystal Theater to the Athletic Field. Aside from the time spent strolling 2 hours a day must lie spent in the library and dorm corners practicing osculation. The membership of this Club steadily increases, partly because no faculty advisers arc needed for a club of such an innocent nature, and partly because in the spring a young man’s fancy—well, anyway, it docs.

With the body were found one pocket flask, two Whiz Bangs, and three dozen life size photographs of himself. PHARAOH GOOPUM OR EXALTED RETAINER OF THE WIND BAG After unwinding yards of red tape, King Goofuin was instantly recognized by his funny face. Examination revealed that he met his death through undue exposure of his inwards on the side lines of the athletic field. Around his anatomy were found two megaphones, one clown suit, a deck of sewing cards, one jazz whistle, six rotten eggs, and several lessons on the latest slang phrases, including Tadpole’s Teddies, Robin’s Raincoats, and Kat’s Kimono. PHARAOH ZENIA OR THE FLOWER OF ROYALTY The petrified state of this ancient fossil was a pitiful sight to behold. It even brought tears to the eyes of the hardened old diggers to see the ravages which time had wrought upon the white neck tie which once glistened so brightly. It is said that on his death bed he grunted these immortal words, “All great men arc dead and dying, and I don't feel well myself. The interior of his tomb revealed 1 tennis racquet, 53 sonnets written by himself about himself, 1 dozen assorted pink toothpicks, two pairs of ruffled sleeve holders, and 500 1924 Peruvians, which were beginning to become readable. PHARAOH DAVID OR FIRST HIGH JAZZ HOUND History has dwelt in such detail upon the wicked dissipations of this slink-eyed cadaverous old villain that there was little left to be revealed by the discovery of his tomb. However, it might be of interest to note that besides his remains the tomb also contained a pair of shell-rimmed spectacles, 3 unfinished Chemistry experiments, I bottle of Bay Rum, 3 pairs of dice, a broken fiddle, and 3 copies of Jazz Music: When You and I Were Young Maggie”, “When You Wore a Tulip and 1 Wore a Big Red Rose , and The Midnight Fire Alarm”, (grande gallop dc coupe). PHARAOH GEORGE OR IMPERIAL LARD CAN Though ample provisions had been made in the supply of air and water coolers for the long journey of his soul, it must have been a sad day when King Tiny kicked off of the old tcrrcstial ball for he had just started to reform the earth and had not even gotten to himself yet. Time had dealt kindly with the remnants of this old monarch for in the sepulcher were found a book on after dinner speaking which had never been opened; a song of his own composition entitled. 1 laughed and the world laughed with me.

INTRODUCTION After two torturous attendances at the Annual Freshman-Sophomore Banquet and observing the behavior of our hosts, I feel that there should he something done to relieve their deplorable actions. As a result I have prepared a concise, clear and complete course on Banqueting in three parts; of course, my gentle readers, you must expect to fill in, but no doubt you can, as that is what most people think a banquet is for. LESSON ONE The gentleman should grasp his lady friend around the neck and dance A La Rudolph Vaselino into the Banquet Room. The partners should then give a leap for the nearest chair. This will cause many to remark of their wonderful athletic ability. After bowing they should be seated and it is the gentleman’s chance of a life time to show his ability as a baseball pitcher by grasping a grape-fruit around the equator and twirling it the length of the table. If it hits the toastmaster in the face, the other banqueters should show their appreciation by thunderous applause. This may seem rather gentle to many of my readers, but one can not be too careful in society. LESSON TWO How to cover slight mistakes: 1. If one should drop a quarter of a ham on the table he should toss it gaily across the room. This will cause much merriment as the people will appreciate such ready wit. 2. If one should accidentally drop his bread butter side down on his partner's dress, he should immediately grasp the flower bowl and deposit the water on the lady so as to remove the grease stain. This is really only a small matter but one that many people will appreciate the importance of. 3. A mistake which is often made by people who do not attend more than three or four banquets a year is the failure to help the toastmaster. An example of very quick thinking was observed last year at the banquet of the Amalgamated Fly Paper Trust at which time the toastmaster came near of having an epileptic fit. One young man observed the impending calamity and at once drew a checker board on the table cloth and began to play checkers. The cheering from the immediate onlookers brought all the rest flocking to that portion of the room, and the toastmaster was taken to the ice box without being observed and causing a panic. LESSON THREE How to profit at a Banquet: One should never attend a banquet without the intention of profiting by the terrible experience. 'Flic best way to profit and help out other people who arc apt to be invited to the next banquet is to remove the silverware. The method I have found which surpasses all others is to give hokus pokus demonstrations with the silverware, making all the silverware at your table disappear and then yelling Fire . This is a rather hazardous thing to do as you and your friend might be run over bv the stampeding crowds, but everyone will forget alwiut the silverware. —THANK YOU— One Hundred Sirly Advertising GENERAL MERCHANDISE Husiness is business, men are men, Working, loving, anti dreaming, Toiling with hammer, brush or pen, Roistering, planning, scheming. Husiness is business, but he's a fool Whose business has grown to smother 11 is faith in men and the Golden Rule, His love for friend and brother. Husiness is business, but life is life, So we’re all in the game to win it. Let's rest sometimes from the heat and strife And try to be friends a minute. Let’s seek to be comrades now and then And slip from our golden tether. Husiness is business, but men arc men, And we’re all good friends together.

ADVICE FOR FRESHMEN 1. Always be duly respectful to your superiors—this applies particularly to the Sophomores. 2. It is the height of impunity to treat an instructor as your equal. Put him in his proper place the first day, otherwise he will annoy you throughout your college career. 3. You should spend about 30 minutes per quarter on outside preparation, else you will soon find yourself overwhelmed with school duties. 4. Never concentrate your attention upon the recitation when in the class room. To do so will lead the instructor to believe that you are taking an interest in his work, instead, show your boredom hv audible yawns, manicuring your nails, holding conversations with your neighbor, ignoring assignments and by always providing yourself with something to eat in the duller moments. 5. The Library is a recreation room—use it as such. This will do more than anything else to further your acquaintance with the head librarian. 6. Never attend classes if you can find anything else to occupy your time. Skipping classes is one of Peru’s leading sports. ANOTHER BELL! Excited Fresh: What bell is that?
