But it is not the end of your task. In reality it is but the beginning. The years in the past have been the preparatory years to equip you for the work you hope to do in life. If this preparatory work has been well done, if the foundation has been laid well and worthily, then you should be able to do well and worthily the work you contemplate doing. It has required effort upon your part to come thus far: it will require continued effort upon your part to carry on. That you may find life a busy, successful, and happy venture is the wish of Your friend, W. R. Pate, President. =s Pate 17 W. N. Delzell Dean of Men and Director of Extension Inice M. Dunning, A. B.

We rise by the things that are under feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; By the pride deposed and the passion slain. And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. F Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to its summit, round by round. —Josiah Gilbert Holland. i ... . 3Z2L W. R. Carter Sponsor William Armstrong English Men's Club. English Men’s Club, Dramatic Club.

It was named in honor of Colonel T. J. Majors, who has been so largely responsible for the Peru State Teachers College. When built it was considered the best training school building west of Chicago. In this building are housed the entire training school, consisting of a nursery school, kindergarten, elementary grades, junior high school, and senior high school. Not only the children of Peru attend the training school, but children from surrounding rural districts are brought here by busses. Among the high school pupils are many who live at such distances from school that they are compelled to room and board here. The training school serves as an apprenticeship for the prospective teachers of the college and as such contributes very largely to their success. The teaching done in the school, if not actually done by experts in their respective lines, is so closely supervised that the quality of work will compare very favorably with that of the average public school.

Page 72 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’28 IN September of 1924, those who are now the mighty Seniors entered high school as green as any Freshies in tradition. The first year was one of many struggles and tribulations, but in spite of the hardships the Freshmen had a glorious time. Their extraordinary talent was shown in the presentation for high school night. The musical revue was a real success. Next year brought the class into its own. The Sophomores, breaking away from the ordinary, presented a circus for high school night. Rough tumbling and a boxing match were the events of the evening. The class ranked the highest in scholarship, showing that work as well as play was their aim. I11 athletics they added more stars to the high school's list. Clinton Cowell made a letter in both basket ball and track. Tom Railsback, by-now, was an established factor in athletics, winning letters in football, basketball and track. The Sophomores took the cup in the class tournament. The Junior year was a successful one. For high school night “The Mysterious Black Meeting” was a notorious Negro show and nothing mysterious after all. The Juniors showed the Seniors what a real good time was by' taking them on a trip to Nebraska City'. Junior athletes were just so many good reasons for the successful season. Last of all and greatest of all—the Senior year. Early in the fall the Seniors were busy checking over their work and beginning plans for graduation. The Senior boys were the backbone of our athletic teams, and helped the basket ball team to be the runners-up for the Class C title at the state tournament. Early' in March the Seniors began preparing for the event, the Senior class play'. It was given May 4th, and “went over big.” In May they closed their high school career and said farewell to their old Alma Mater. Pant 73 ----- 'yz Z£ - -i JUNIOR CLASS Uac fc r m� ; O. Marsh, L.

Yc displayed high enthusiasm in many different fields of activity. We entered our Sophomore year with many plans and high anticipations. Hidden abilities were brought to light in chapel and high school night programs, and the year featured several enjoyable social events. This, our Junior year, opened with many new and valuable students added to our ranks. Our first event was a class party, well attended and greatly enjoyed. We have within the Junior class an array of exceptional talent. Many of the most active members of the debate squad, dramatic club, athletic organizations, and musical organizations are Juniors. Our participation in these varied activities and studies is paving the way to lietter, more profitable citizenship. Pate 7 SOPHOMORE CLASS Hack row—s. Gaines, li. Cherry, E. Rawson, C. Trbnholm, R.

Landoi.t SOPHOMORI-: HISTORY HP HE present Sophomores entered high school as Seniors rather than Fresh- men. We were the first ninth grade to be included in junior high school, and unless we were classed as Freshmen in the seventh grade, we can truthfully say that we never experienced the “Freshie stage. In September, 1926, our class had its beginning. We were 35 at the beginning of the year. During that last busy year in junior high, we found time for only one class party, but it was a gratifying success. This year we can still boast of our original 35. We are well represented in the high school organizations by orchestra members, G. A. A. members, football men, debaters, and Hi-Y and Girls' Reserve members. Our one class party was a brilliant affair, and our Riviera reproduction for high school night has not been surpassed. Our class is noted for its stability, and the time is coming when we will be Juniors. We are only beginning now; and a class so enterprising as ours will be recognized much more than ss the Sophomore Class of '28.

Five losses Page SI RESUME OF ACTIVITIES FOR 1927-28 THE Peru Demonstration High School plans to carry on a balanced program of activities. No one activity is allowed to dominate to the exclusion of all others and no group of students having a particular interest is allowed to monopolize the interest of the school. The High School has been able to maintain a high standard of performance in various activities as is evidenced by the year’s record. In football its team met teams from equal and larger schools with credit. Five games were won, one was tied, and three were lost. The basket ball season was also successful. Nine scheduled games were played, of which there were six victories for Peru. In the M-I-N-K Tournament held in Peru our team was beaten in its first game. We had the distinction, however, of being defeated by the Tournament champions and we held them to a closer score than did the runners-up. Our boys did their most outstanding work in basket ball at the State Tournament. Having been the cup winners in Class “1 ” last year, we were put in Class C this season. Our boys won their first three games by decisive margins: Alliance 19-8, Wakefield 18-9, and Lexington 22-l(i. They lost the last game to Tilden 8-13. In the M-I-N-K Music and Dramatic contest, Peru won first place in its class in the contest of Girls’ Glee Clubs and in the contest of One-Act Plays. Winifred Pettit won first in violin solo and Mac Dunning took second in cornet solo. Our debate team won fifty per cent of its contests, winning from Wymore, Sterling and Holmesville, and losing to Beatrice, Auburn and Humboldt. The team was made up of two sophomores and one junior, two of whom had not debated before. These facts make their success more notable and predict better success next year. • . • . In the school year there remain two important events, the Scholastic Contest and the Track Season. These cannot be reported on, due to the fact that the Peruvian goes to press ahead of the dates of these scheduled events.

The first event sponsored by the Club was the presentation of Regina Holcomb in a morality play entitled Everywoman,” the proceeds from which were used to swell the ( lub loan fund which assists many girls to complete their education. The girls aided with the success of Homecoming events by acting as hostesses to all alumni and friends; they contributed largely to the spirit of pep by presenting at the game over two hundred blue and white Bobcats of their own making. Again they were hostesses at the M-I-N-K music and dramatic tournament, keeping open house at Mount Vernon Hall all during the session, serving light refreshments and providing entertainment for all contestants and visitors.

A galaxy of gay costumes, booths, and stunts suggesting every special event of the calendar made a spectacular scene. The ninth birthday party of the club was celebrated at regular convocation time with the Men’s Club as guests, and at that time was presented a cleverly arranged panoramic reproduction of the costume party. That the organization has meant much to many of the former Peru girls is evidenced by the fact that several of the alumni have sent birthday gifts to the club. Mrs. Dunning gives unlimited energy to the welfare of the girls, and is ably assisted by an efficient corps of officers, council members and sub-council members which represent all the leading rooming houses of Peru.

Much of that success we owe to our sponsor, Mr. Hill, whose excellent advice has guided the Society so well. A new constitution has been adopted that introduces a number of changes, some of which will not take effect until next year. Under this new constitution it is believed that the Society will prove to be even more worth-while than before- Page 95 PHILOMATHEAN (1 H I Harold Busch M usetta Cam pbell Lewis Carter W. R.

Since its organization in 1872, it has grown and prospered until it is a very efficient and sociable organization which has an annual membership of seventy. Meetings of the Society are those of entertainment rather than amusement. Varied programs of dramatic, musical, and literary productions are presented; and any event of special interest which has its anniversary near a meeting date is usually given observance.

One of the aims since its establishment on the campus has been to affiliate with the International Kindergarten Union and the Primary Council. This was accomplished at the beginning of the year. Our representatives now have voting power in the I. K. U. Convention. The Council in this way has not only secured unity and professional feeling in itself as a unit, but also with the nation as a whole. Our relationship gives us the advantages of coming in direct contact with new methods and procedures as worked out by education leaders in our field. At Christmas the Council performed their annual custom of carol singing about the town with lighted candles. In February the Early Elementary Council made a trip to Omaha to see Tony Sarg’s Marionette Dolls. The finances of the Council are to be used as a Student Loan Fund for teachers in the department who have ability and need help to continue their education. There has been an increase in number of those taking Early Elementary work over last year. The figures are 62 for last year as against 85 for this year. The Council feel greatly indebted to Miss McCollum and Miss Zack for the success it has had this year. The members of this organization have enjoyed the gain in fellowship, teamwork, and spirit of helpfulness which has predominated thruout the year.

No property in town is better situated to become the property of the Alumni Association than is this historic location. Since 1912 (when a group of alumni headed by C. M. Penney, ’07, raised a $500 endowment fund), by the means of $5.00 life membership fees and the accumulation of interest on the accumulated funds (all invested), the Alumni Association has accumulated over S3,000. This fund will be used to pay for and improve the Martin half block when the title is secured in preparation for building an Alumni home. Pott in ORCHESTRA Uft to right—R. Siiblley, W. Pettit, ().

During the present season Hi votes were cast for the Peruvians and 17 against. Dual debates were engaged with Omaha University, Wesleyan University, Corner College, and Dana College, while single debates were held with Tarkio College, Maryville College, Nebraska Central College, and York College. Three 3-0 decisions were rendered for Peruvians and two against, the other decisions being 2-1 outcomes. Peru ended up in second place in the Nebraska Conference. This is a higher ranking than Peru has ever enjoyed in forensic history at the oldest normal. This year Coach Waldo Willhoft had confronting him as usual a group of inexperienced men, with the exception of Fred Duey and Earnest Hasselblad. Leslie Leonard, George Reinmiller, Ralph Chatelain, Dan Pettinger and Neil Pettinger had never had intercollegiate debating experience prior to the 1928 season. Yet with this new material two strong teams were whipped into shape, and votes cast for the Peruvians against the leading teams of the Conference, such as Wesleyan and Omaha. Next year another new squad will confront the debate coach, as the greater number of the alx ve-named men intend to teach during the coming school term.

It strives to lead men to faith in God through Jesus Christ as their personal savior; to unify the student body in its purpose and action; and to promote growth in character and fellowship among the men of the college. To accomplish this purpose it provides through weekly meetings, opportunity for the discussion of student and world problems. Through the effort of the organization we have brought to our campus such men as Kirby Page, who discussed international affairs; J. C. Gossard, who gave a fine interpretation of the modern family; and J. A. Adeva, who handled the Philippines question. Page 116 £ s 1 fj C. C. A.

W. C. A. on the Peru Campus has served as a religious guide to many of our young women. The inspiring devotional services of each meeting have aimed to promote growth and service in the Christian faith and church. The “Development of Character” has been vividly emphasized by a series of hobby studies which aimed to promote a well-rounded life. With “World Fellowship Through Campus Fellowship” in mind, the Y. W. C. A., with the aid of the Y. M. C. A., have sponsored a weekly review of World News in convocation. Other activities of the year included a contribution to the Student Friendship Drive, aid given to needy families of Peru at the Christmas season, and the opportunity for Peru students to hear and know Miss Tirza Dinsdale, Secretary of the Chile Y. W. C. A., South America. We feel certain that there will be an evident Christian influence extended by our young women who will enter the teaching profession next year as well as by those remaining as active meml ers. Pare IIS Y. W. C. A. Views in Estes EACH year the Y. YV. C. A. girls sell candy so that they may-get money to send delegates to Estes Park. Anyone who has been fortunate enough to go to Estes Park knows that it is worth every effort that can possibly be made. It is an opportunity to live for ten days in an ideal world— listening to the messages of renowned men, climbing rugged, aweinspiring mountains, resting and reading worth-while things by the side of a rushing stream, while over all is that pervading spirit of peace and happiness. Round-table discussions, in which problems of campus life as well as international problems were discussed were a feature of the conference. Foreign problems were made more realistic by the presence of Japanese, Indian, Negro, and Chinese students. The discussions were led by such persons as Kirby Page of New York, Henry Pitt Van Dusan of New York, Dr. Cornelius of the University of India, Dr. Brooks of Pomona, California; Tirza Dinsdale of Chile, Frances Perry of Denver, and Judge Florence Allen of Ohio.

Graf Lon R. “Little Knute Graf, head mentor and builder teams, took up his work in Peru in the fall of 1923. Graf filled the varsity berths of tackle and guard at Nebraska in the team of 1916. He also starred in the cinder path, and captained the track team of 1915 at Westminster. Since coming to Peru, Graf has coached three champion basket ball teams and two champion football elevens. He has yet to see his proteges finish further down the conference ladder than second place in either sport. Coach Paul E. Kutnink Paul E. Kutnink, head basket ball coach, made his inaugural appearance in Peru in 1926. A graduate of Emporia State Teachers College of Emporia, Kansas, Coach Kutnink is both athlete and maker of athletes. Since arriving in Peru, Coach Kutnink has assisted Coach Graf in football and track, and his basket ball quintet finished second in conference standings. Page 152 The Coyotes Kick Off Captain Arthur Gariss Captain Arthur “Art Gariss, all-state guard on the championship Bobcat eleven, played his last year for Peru. He is a man who played the game not for the honor showered upon the star, but for the love of the sport—good, clean sport. The student body takes this opportunity to extend Gariss best wishes for the future in his coaching work. Captain-elect Daris Bunch Captain-elect Daris Bunch was rated the best pivot man in the state conference. For three years Bunch has been a formidable center, always alert on the offense and determined on the defense. Not only is Bunch a star gridster, but he has equally outstanding qualities as a student and gentleman. THE SEASON Coach Graf sent his proteges into action for the first time in the 1927 season against Tarkio at Peru. September 23. The Missourians found going tough and were forced into submission by an 18 to 0 final. Seeking new lands to conquer, the Peru squad made their inaugural appearance against St. Benedict's at Atchison, Kansas, September 29, and took their measure to the tune of 19 to 0. Then the Bobcats jumped into conference competition by sending Dana home on the short end of a 96 to 0 count, Friday, October 7. October 15 will long be remembered by homecomers. The Bobcat sent the Coyote howling to his lair to the tune of 22 to 0. Pat.- IV The Bobcats Block A Coyote Punt The Peruvians avenged an old score and stepped into conference leadership, never to be headed. With an anxious group of followers chanting the praises of an unscorcd-on team, the Bobcats disappointed a large Midland Homecoming crowd by disposing of the Warriors 20 to 0 at Fremont, October 22. The forces from Cotner and Wayne proved little more than straws in the path of the Peru tornado. Cotner went home humbled 74 to 0; and Wayne could find little consolation in the lopsided count of 91 to 0. Then it fell the lot of the Grafmen to dispose of Kearney before laying claims to the coveted trophy. However, the Antelopes had decided to play a role in the show themselves. The game was hard-fought on a cold, snow-swept field, but the final gun boomed the knell of parting day for Kearney and announced the Peru Bobcats as State Conference Champs by virtue of their 19 to 7 finale.

He has no superior when it comes to taking the ball off the back board or intercepting passes, and he maneuvers his 220 pounds on the floor in a style that is beautiful to see. Fans eagerly await the season of 1929. COACH KUTNINK’S proteges made their initial appearance in the season of 1928 on January 0, to take the measure of the Syracuse American Legion five 51 to 8. The following week they continued their warming-up play to send the Dunbar town team home on the short end of a 70 to 13 count; and then they stepped out of their domain to take a 33 to 26 drubbing at the hands of the Maryville Teachers of Maryville, Missouri, on the latter’s court. They next appeared on the home floor to humiliate Dana with a 64 to 13 finale January 20, but experienced another stumbling block in the Omaha Athletic Club a week later when the Metropolitan city boys, conquerors of Doane, Midland, and Kearney, ran away with the long end of the 23 to 12 score. York, N. I. I. A. conference champs, were the next victims to fall. The Squad Page IS6 NET Russell Wasley, Captain-elect jF In electing Russell Wasley to the captaincy the team chose a man of exceptional qualities. “Rus” has played a stellar game at guard for three seasons, and his profound knowledge of basket ball should make him a worthy leader in his last and best season next year. His ranking as a gentleman and clean sportsman is worthy of praise. The Bobcats invaded the Panthers’ lair to emerge the winner 45 to 31. On February 2, York tried to avenge this defeat at Peru, but again the Kutnink-coached quintet showed their superiority by severely trouncing the York five 33 to 17. Then the team took to the road to dispose of Dana 58 to 10. February 6, and lose a hard-fought battle to Trinity College, 24 to 22, the next night. They tasted defeat for the fourth time the following week when they dropped a nip and tuck game to Kearney 32 to 24 on the latter’s bird’s-eye. The M-I-N-K tourney crowd of February 17 and 18 witnessed the annihilation of Chadron twice in succession to the harmony of 46 to 13, and 33 to 14, respectively. 'I'he home season was brought to a fitting climax when the Bobcat five again met and triumphed over the Omaha Athletic Club 31 to 17, February 27. The team was put out of the running at the A. A. I’. Tournament at Kansas City by McPherson College. Kansas State champs, 45 to 37. Action at the front Pane I $7 Lawrence Malm, Forward “Spike plays a neat game at forward. He dribbles, passes and shoots with precision. Malm gets his degree this spring. Wilbert Zorn, Guard Zorn is another guard who figured big. “Dutch” is a clever dribbler and handles the ball well. He should make a good coach next year. Joe Krejci, Center “Big Joe” combines an uncanny eye for the basket with a “sweet” floor game, and has been a leading individual scorer in the conference. Helmit Brockman, Center “Brock” fills “Big Joe’s place at center. He is tall and rangy and plays a flashy game at the pivot position. Arnold Selk, Forward Selk, the short cog of the basket machine, ended his competition at Peru this year. He has a great combination of speed and levelheadedness. James Delzell, Guard “Jimmie” has well filled the shoes of the “big Swede.” He plays a “heads-up” game and is well learned in the art of basket ball. Ernest Roth but, Forward A forward of exceptional ability, Rothert performs in veteran style on both offense and defense. Three bright seasons await this clever cagester. Wilbur Young, Forward “Brig” has two more seasons in which to shine on the court. Great things may be expected. Earl Hurst, Guard A clever defensive man, Hurst should make a big showing in his three remaining years. Walter Naim an. Forward “Walt” has the old “hawk-eye” when it comes to ringing up the counters, and his strong floor work makes him a good defensive man.

The winners had disposed of Peru Prep in the first round and Swanton in the quarter-finals. Sabetha won their place in the finals by eliminating Auburn and Nebraska City, victor over Falls City. Shubert carried off high honors in class B after a gruelling tussle with Syracuse in which they emerged victorious 21 to 20. The winners had made a clean sweep of it by outplaying Humboldt and Talmage, the stumbling-block of the Dunbar quint. Syracuse put Bradshaw and Ong out of the running. Ong eliminated Elmwood. Page 1(0 M-I-N-K TOURNEY DeWitt, Class C” Iloney Creek. Class D” DeWITT won the class “C” trophy by handing Sterling the short end of a 22-to-15 count. Starting with a forfeit from Willis, Kansas, the winners proceeded to tramp on Bratton Union and Valparaiso. Valparaiso had previously won from Unadilla who in turn had defeated Pawnee City and Spring-field. Sterling went to the finals after disposing of Palmyra, Reynolds, and Greenleaf; Palmyra eliminated Nemaha and Murdock. Nemaha put out Bennett, and Reynolds won from Table Rock in the first round. Coach Carter’s Honey Creek five took the measure of the Sacred Heart Academy 19 to 11 to finish first in class “D.” The champs won from Firth, conqueror of Johnson, and Bellevue.

Donald Whittemore, Philip Hoyt, and Captain Lawrence Malm also ended a no-defeat season by participating in the state tournament. Hoyt lost in the singles, while in the doubles Malm and Whittemore advanced to the finals, in which they lost their match to a veteran Wesleyan team. Tennis has advanced at Peru in encouraging strides. At the end of the 927 season the men’s record showed fifteen consecutive victories in intercollegiate tennis, with a state championship to its credit also. The girls’ tennis record shows only one defeat in two years, which is also an enviable record. Pate 162 TRACK TRACK at Peru lias developed by leaps and bounds since its inauguration in 1924. In 1925 the Bobcat cinder pounders finished first among the Teachers colleges, second in 1926, and first again in 1927. This year’s squad includes the veterans Selk, Zorn, Zook, Dallam, Young, Kerner, Kaltenborn, Carter, McElroy, Williams, Shumard, and a wealth of freshmen material. With this array of strength, Coaches Graf and Kutnink are looking forward to a fruitful season. Veteran relay men: Zorn, Carter. Williams, Zook.

WHITFIELD Manager Page 188 “Smoke” Hr HE practicability of examinations in connection with Agency Licenses A is being discussed all over the country and has been for some time without results, and from various reasons. Most insurance agents arc thoroughly sold on the idea that their calling is a profession and not a business, and have only one attitude, ethically, when asked to submit to an examination for their fitness. Having the interests of better insurance at heart they are one with those who desire to raise the agency standards, but being constantly instructed in these higher standards by their Companies and they know that education is a fine thing, yet they feel the school room is not always the best place to test it, as witnessed by the most ridiculous pronunciamentos broadcasted in the public prints by those in the circles of higher learning. No man is so foolish as the savant when he gets running wild in the matter of questionnaires and examinations. Consider these questions as to the “sanity” of incoming aliens: 1. What is a goat after it passes the age of seven years? 2. What is a child who has eaten its father and mother? 3. What kind of an umbrella docs King George carry on a rainy day? The correct answers to these questions arc: (1) Eight years old. (2) An orphan. (3) A wet umbrella. Now, my dear students, did you get 100% on that test? If you didn’t, then we have the United States immigration authorities’ word for it that you’re crazy. We wonder as to the sanity of the professor who propounded them. “Who’s loony now?” as they used to say before the era of intelligence tests. We trust no pedagogue will get sidetracked on any such blather in the effort to find out whether or not a man is capable of selling insurance. Nevertheless, the most sensible of formal examinations is bound to contain pitfalls liable to throw a smart, well-equipped agent for a loss. It is to be hoped that any examination will be conducted with due regard to the human factor. Sir Walter Scott was the school dunce and Ulysses S. Grant graduated from the lower third of his class.
