First, there was the river. Majestic and serene; it flowed past the shores of Nebraska. Lived here a people, noble and courageous were they, whose birch canoes cleft the tide of the nvei-whose far-seeing eyes swept the prairies from these very hills; and exclaimed in tones of simple wonder: NEBRASKA ! 1 t FOREWORD NEBRASKA! Gone are these people. No longer their soft moccasin leaves its impression on the mud-sands that flan k th ese shallow waters. Gone from the prairie is the buffalo, whose thundering hoof carved furrowed trails through sweet-grass meadows. es But go to mudfills and sanded glad and you will see still printed there the symbols of our little brother, the Bobcat! 6 ENGRAVINGS BY SOUTHWESTERN ENGRAVING COMPANY rORTWOBTH- DALLAS - HOUSTON BtAUUONT-VMCHITA TAILS -AMARIUO TULSA.OMA- - ATLANTA.CA.

Though the students composing the groups are ever changing, they are alike in the larger things of life— they possess youth, ability, hope, courage, ambition, and above all a desire to do more and better things than have ever been done before. It is well for the world that college young people do possess these qualities in a larger measure than any other groups because the destiny of any people is largely determined by its college group. I congratulate you on the possession of these ideals. May the years witness the fruition of your longings, and may you achieve much that is worth while in your chosen field of labor. And as you achieve may the memories of Old Peru ever be an inspiration to urge you onward and upward. Sincerely yours, W. R. Pate. Pat t 9 2 Y. N.

Graf, known to the populace of the middle West as “Little Knute,” has turned out three championship football teams and also a track team which finished on top, since his arrival here at the college six years ago, in 1923. After serving Uncle Sam in the World War, Graf came to Peru to serve the Bobcats. In 1924, he returned from Chadron with a team which brought Peru her first football championship. He repeated in 1928, and then in 1929 inaugurated the newly formed N. I. A. A. conference by copping the football championship from Kearney and Omaha University. 1928 N. I. A. A. Conference Ch'impions Pane 26 Football CAPTAIN DARIS BUNCH, loved by his teammates and feared by opponents, led the 1928 Bobcats to a football championship this year in the newly organized N. I. A. A. conference. Bunch has been one of the mainstays in the Graf-coached machine since his entry into college football and has three times been chosen all-state center. Captain Bunch is a leader in the classroom as well as on the gridiron. Some fifty men, among whom were a score of lettermen, including Captain Bunch, gladdened the heart of head Coach, Lon “Little Knute” Graf, when he called for defenders for the blue and white’s state football championship standards. Capt. Dakis Bunch After weeks of fundamentals, the ever hated but necessary calisthenics, sweat, and nightly scrimmages with eager freshmen, the varsity was given its first taste of collegiate football on September 29, when the Irish from St. Benedicts College, Atchison, Kansas, invaded the Bobcat lair to do battle. Bobcat Popsters—Cakky, Williams, Dyke, Korhek Page 27 Toft Kerne r Hofmann Zook Delzell Tackle Guard End Halfback Guard Kkejci Quarterback The game with the Irish, although somewhat marred by the usual early season penalties, was a thriller. The Bobcats scored in the first quarter, missed a touchdown by inches in the second, and were still out in front 6-0 when the final gun barked, as a result of “the Bay-singer of the west,” Krejci, having made a thirty-four-yard pass to Young, and Hertz's three plunges into the line. The next non-conference game provided one of the thrillers of the home season. Marysville Teachers, sporting Meek, all-Missouri Conference tackle, and Fisher and Duce, two all-Conference backs, plus a well balanced team, caused the Bobcat an exceedingly busy afternoon. However, with two minutes to play, the Krejci-to Case-beer combination came into its own and interspersed with a drive or two into the forward wall by Sautters, kept Peru’s slate clean with the second 6-0 victory of the year. Page 2S Hofmann opens a hole at left tackle Matthews End Williams Guard Hart Halfback Young Halfback Casbbeer Halfback St. Louis was the scene of the next struggle where the Bobcats tackled the Billikens of St. Louis University, one of the leading teams in the middle west. Lintzenick, locomotive fullback of the Billikens. crashed over for a score early in the fourth period to give St. Louis a 6-0 lead. But, after bungling two golden opportunities to score, the Bobcats took one last chance, and in the dying minutes of the game, Krejci cut loose with one of the greatest passes ever thrown on the St. Louis gridiron. Hofmann, the ever-alert, was standing on the goal line some 55 yards away and the game went down on the records a 6-6 tie. With the sweet must come the bitter, and on their “eastern invasion” Peru suffered her first defeat, 16-12, at the hands of Still College in the Osteopaths’ back yard. The Bobcat was doped to win, but after the storm at St. Louis the lull came. Brockman Tackle The Bobcats smear a Marysville play Page 29 Sautters Claussek Grass Majors H. Williams Halfback Fullback Guard Halfback Guard Hertz Fullback N. I. A. A. competition was first afforded Peru by the ancient foe, the Chadron Eagle. It was Homecoming Day and the Bobcats, performing before some 500 Alumni, were not to be denied. Chadron threatened in the first half with a beautiful array of short passes, but neither team scored. In the second half Zook, with the aid of Sautters and Hart, crashed over for a brace of markers to give Peru a 13-0 victory. A Kearney antelope strayed too far into eastern Nebraska and the Bobcat, being somewhat hungry from a two-weeks lay-off, when snow caused the cancelling of the Wayne game, called together Captain Bunch and his cohorts for a 21-0 feast of venison. Gray skies and mud were on the weatherman's program that day, but regardless of the fact, the Peruvians made the best of their opportunities to score three touchdowns and a safety. Captain Bunch going into action Pa e iO Shestak Hurst Hertel Brunsddn Railsback Guard Halfback Guard Tackle End The first marker against Kearney was the result of a little co-operation between Toft, who broke through to block a kick, and Pike, who fell on the ball to give Peru a 6-0 lead. Zook made it 12-0, when he galloped 62 yards off tackle late in the first quarter. Pike chalked up the final of the day early in the second half, when he scooped up a Kearney fumble and scampered 35 yards to a touchdown. This victory placed Peru in a tie with Omaha University for the front seat of the N. I. A. A. conference chariot. Now, since a tie is no way for a new conference to end its first year, the Bobcats entrained for Omaha where they vanquished the Cardinals, 37-0, and, needless to say, were the first champions of the N. I. A. A. conference. The Graf-coached machine was complete master of the situation, not because of any lack of fight in the Cardinal lads, but because the Bobcat was howling for a state championship—and a Bobcat will not be denied. I’ike End Page Jl Chadron humbled before Ilomccomcrs Rothert End Miller Center Groothuis Center Simpkins Guard SlIAFFNER Halfback Riggins Guard In the Omaha game, Young scored six points on a pass from Krejci. After that Peru, led by the “human tank,’’ “Swede” Hertz, who that day was a team in himself, scored almost at will. With Bunch, Riggins, Brockman, Williams, and Toft opening holes in the Cardinal line, the big “Swede” never failing to gain, and with the team functioning as one man, there was no doubt, even in the minds of the most pessimistic, that when the Bobcats entrained for Peru they would have another state championship tucked under their belt. Captain Bunch, Krejci, Hertz, Delzell, Grass, Harry Williams, Ralph Williams, and Simpkins brought their football careers under the blue and white standards to a close with an 18-0 Turkey Day victory at Tarkio College. Tarkio never had a chance after Hertz and Hofmann stopped Hoover’s wild dash up the sidelines on the opening kick-off. The Bobcats scored three times in the first half despite a cold driving rain and a sea of mud.

I.okhkek THE Peru Bobcats, under the coaching of Ernest “Dutch” Lorbcer, won the N. I. A. A. championship for the first time. Last year this championship was copped by the Kearney Antelopes. The season started rather slow for the Cats with two reverses at Hays Teachers, the first 24-20 and the second 20-16, but in the next game on the same trip Krejci, Captain W'asley, Railsback, and Brockman were hitting from all angles and the Portis dynamo quintet went down to a 43-31 defeat. An independent team from Northboro, Iowa, held Peru to a 37-34 victory in the first home game for the Bobcats since the arrival of Coach Lorbeer. Wasley and Krejci were again the big guns in Peru’s attack with Hertz standing out on the defense. The 1928 N. I. A. A. Conference Champions Page 42 4z Basket Ball Captain Russell Wasley, Bobcat guard, completed his fourth year of collegiate basket ball by leading his team to a state championship. “Russ” was placed on all-state-selections several times because of his ability both to guard and to score from long range. In 1929, he was one of the high-scoring guards in the conference, amassing 40 field goals and 19 free throws for a total of 99 points. The squad next embarked on a southern invasion and came out on top with two victories, the first over the fast St. Benedict cagers at Atchison 27-23, and the second over the St. Joe Cardinals 30-26. Krejci and Hertz were outstanding in both games; the big boy from Plattsmouth tallied four times from the floor in the first and sunk seven counters in the second victory.

However, the boys came back the next week to put Norfolk Junior on the short end of a 47-20 count and to out-score Wayne 40-27, in the first conference encounter for the Bobcats. Revenge is sweet. Tarkio invaded Peru on a Tuesday night and went home chewing on a 41-21 defeat administered by Young, Krejci, Hertz and Company. The same combination ran roughshod over the defending champions, the Antelopes from Kearney, to the tune of 50-15, Krejci annexing 19 points.

In the closing two games of the regular schedule the Hillyards proved superior, the Bobcats losing at St. Joe 47-26 and closing their home schedule with a 39-17 loss at the hands of the former national champions. The next week the Bobcats were defeated by Phillips University 35-15, at the national tournament.

The offensive strength was vested in Greene of Dawson, and Faller of Falls City at the forward posts with Harpstcr of Dunbar at the pivot position. The guard assignments went to Captain Fisher of Falls City and Shephard who wore the colors of Table Rock. Page 47 Unadilla Class “C Winner All-Tonrnatnenl Team ?3YC. I. IQ ‘Dramatic and zJkfusic Qontest WHEN you look at this page now, its contents may be so familiar to you that you will wonder “why”? But ten or twenty years hence, you may think of the music department, and if so, you will remember these organizations, some of whose pictures appear on other pages of this book: the college orchestra with its periodic concerts of really good orchestral music; the college band, which officiates as “pep-instiller” at the games; the college chorus, with its operas, such as “The Gondoliers,” “The Pirates of Penzance,” etc., its sacred works, such as “The Seven Last Words of Christ,” “The Creation,” etc.; the men’s glee club, The Peru Singers; the girls’ glee club; and the newest singing organization, The Orpheus Club. We hope your remembrance of these groups will be pleasant, and that this page in your book will be worth-while. But we are sure you want to remember the M. I. N. K. Dramatic and Music contest, in which some five hundred high school people participated, coming in 1929 through snowdrifts almost impassable, and lest you forget, Auburn again won the Class A trophy, while Sterling won possession of Class B trophy from Elmwood, the 1928 winner. Have we refreshed your memory? Auburn Chorus, Class A Winner Page 4S ChC. I. ,yy J(yDramat c and dMusic Qontest IN THE M. I. N. K. Dramatic Music and Tournament, there were two contests representing the dramatic works. These were: A One-Act play contest and a reading contest. In the Class A play contest, Tecumseh won first place with the play, “The Clod,” by Lewis Beach. This is the second year that Tecumseh has won this honor. Mr. L. D. Hoisted is the director. Auburn presented “Two Crooks and a Lady.” Four plays were presented in the Class B division. The production of “His Japanese Wife,” by Peru Preparatory High School was judged as the best, but due to a technicality was eliminated from the contest. Suppressed Desires,” produced by Elmwood, was thereby raised from second to first place. Other entries were “Silence, Please,” produced by Verdon High School, and “A Woman’s Stratagem,” by Sterling High School. The reading contest was not the usual declamation contest in which memorized selections are given. The contestants did not know what materials they would read but drew certain assignments an hour before the contest. This hour was devoted to practice without help from instructors. Six schools were represented in this contest. Miss Nina Burdette of Auburn won first place, Miss Ada Brummer of Unadilla second, and Miss Theodore F. Frerichs, of Sterling, third. Other contestants were from Elmwood, Hickman, and Tecumseh. “The Clod,” Class A won by Tecumseh High School rate 49 “7J” Qub AT the close of the 1920 football season. Coach Speer organized what is now known as the “P” Club. The membership of this organization is composed of all men who have earned letters in football, basket ball, or track. The original purpose of this band of Peru athletes was to promote Peru spirit. Today the Club's motive is still to induce loyalty to the College. Through the high school basket ball tournaments and track meets which the Club sponsors, it is instrumental in bringing to Peru many students who excel both in athletics and scholarship.

I. N. K. High School Tournament May 18—State Conference at Wayne Hertz in action THE Bobcat cinder artists, state champions of the N. I. A. A., conference in 1928, seemed destined to grab off their second successive title this year with some thirty men, all of whom showed some promise, reporting to Coach Lon R. Graf and Captain Dick Williams. Page 66 : 7. The 1929 Track Squad Track Besides Captain Dick Williams, winner of the half-mile in state competition, there were nine other letter-men from last year’s state champions. Hertz, state record holder in the shot, and winner of the discus last year; and Zook, Bobcat speedster who won a double victory in the dashes, were among the first to don track shoes in 1929. Other letter winners left for this season included Kerner, Wicina, Delzell, Young, Krejci, Sams, and Mumper. In order that the Bobcats would be in excellent trim for the state meet at Wayne, Coach Graf planned trips to the Hastings relays at Hastings, to the Kansas relays at Lawrence, and also to the Drake relays at Des Moines. Then, too, a dual meet with the Mis- Captain Dick Williams souri State Teachers College of Marysville was carded for May 3.

CARTER Four years ago Mr. Carter became sponsor of this class. That year the class gave up the traditional Freshman banquet for the Sophomores to the Junior class. As Sophomores, they sacrificed the editor of the Peruvian to the Seniors. This class, in 1927, contributed to the Student Loan Fund. Mr. Carter was chief adviser of the Peruvian this year. JUNIOR SPONSOR—FRANCES CHURCH The class of 1930 was under the sponsorship of Frances Church, librarian, who took over the work from Nona Palmer who was forced to give it up on account of an overload of classes in the commercial department. Last year they presented money to the school for the construction of a gate at the east entrance to the campus similar to that at the north. SOPHOMORE SPONSOR—A. V. LARSON Mr. Larson began his relationships with this class last year. This year the class gave up their accustomed date in the commencement week for their play to the Senior class. Mr. Larson was the associate adviser of the Peruvian. Because of the two-year course in the college, many members of the class graduated from school this year. FRESHMAN SPONSOR—GRACE TEAR The Freshman class this year, the biggest in the history of the school, under the supervision and direction of Miss Tear has made a valuable contribution to the social life of the freshmen students in the formation of sixteen different clubs which are for freshmen only. The clubs organized were those most desired by the students. Carter Church Larson Tear Pact II6 Organizations Pate 117 rJfrCen’s Qlub 5r THE bi-monthly meetings of the 1928-1929 Men’s Club were generators of pep and school spirit. During the year Robert T. Benford and G. Holt Steck presented a musical program. The club was divided into five groups for convenience in assigning work. During the M. I. N. K. tournament, the club gave valuable assistance in conducting the tournament. Besides assisting with the tournaments, the club helped during the Homecoming. Because of its loyal support, the club was chosen to sponsor the allschool football banquet given in honor of the Peru championship team January 11 . Thirty-one lettermen and Coaches Graf, Lorbeer, and Wonder were the honor guests. The football captain-elect, Helmut Brockman, was announced at the banquet.

Regular meetings are held twice a month in the college auditorium. Its scope is large, for every girl on the campus is privileged to belong. Its aim is to build up a bigger student loan fund, which will enable many girls to complete their education. The Girls’ Club was established in 1919, under the auspices of Miss Mattie Cook Ellis, Dean of Women. The club then, similar to the present organization, was characterized by its true spirit, sincerity, and high ideals. It was they, who organized the club, who set the standard, which we now support. They have handed down to us a sense of good entertainment of which we are proud. OFFICERS Mrs. Inice Dunning . Mary Gray .... Frances Mori arty Lillian Brady.............. Hazel Williams ....

This is one of the happiest memories of the year, for at the gay gathering of Peruvians new friends are made, and old friendships are renewed.

It was carried out in the form of a Story-Book Ball. An unusual array of costumes was displayed, for each girl was dressed to represent a character from some story. Soon after the Story-Book Ball, a chapel program was presented by the prize winners and those who received honorable mention. This program, arranged by Ada Eyre, was cleverly carried out as Mistress Mary’s birthday party. At the same time, the program was the celebration of the ('.iris’ Club tenth birthday.

There were those who had ability to give interesting book reviews; there were those who could read short stories; and those who possessed musical ability, as well as those with ability to debate. Open forum provided expression for some members. Then, too, still others were in charge of programs. Philo offers plenty of opportunity for the fullest development and socializing of each individual member. The society is proud of its possession of the quill pen used in signing the grant for the land used by this college. The pen was presented to the society, last year, by one of its alumni, J. D. Graves. This is on display in the trophy case in the Administration building. Philo has a Student Loan Fund which was created last year from the funds of a Liberty Loan Bond during the World War.

The club was organized on October 22, 1908, by Mrs. Daisy B. Nettleton Taylor, who is now living at Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. The week of October 22 to 27, was set aside in commemoration. During the week the first play produced by the Club, An American Citizen,” was read library style; Varro E. Tyler, who was president during the first year spoke at a luncheon held in his honor. The week closed with the production of “The Poor Nut.” An eight-page pamphlet was published and sold during the week, and The Pedagogian, the college newspaper, ran a special dramatic club edition. The Peru Dramatic Club sponsors the M. I. N. K. Dramatic contest for high schools and also the Peru Playmakers, an organization of writers of acceptable plays. During the year a new cyclorama and two sets of scenery with practical doors were added to the stage equipment. The membership of the club is limited at 80 full members. Membership may be gained twice a year by tryout only. Page 129 “A Doll's House' Peru Dramatic Qlub OFFICERS Leo Hauptman ....

With the aid of Mrs. Dunning and the Cheer Leaders, Williams, Carey, Korber, and Dyke, forty girls were selected for this group of organized rooters. The conditions for membership were loyalty to the school and satisfactory scholarship. That the girls chosen were true boosters was evidenced by the fact that they held morning practices at the hour of six. They displayed the result of their drill when they entertained at college chapel on Friday before the big Chadron game. On Homecoming day, the “Peppers,” carrying blue and white megaphones, occupied the bleacher section reserved for them. Between halves they marched on to the field to form the letters P. S. T. C.

The purpose of this organization, as originally planned, is mainly social, with the aim of encouraging Iowa students to enter Peru to continue their education. The social events take the form of parties, hikes, and picnics. The club is worthy of campus recognition because of the spirit of “Old Iowa” that is manifested. Y. R. Carter, Sponsor, and Mrs. Dunning, a member, are both very active in the promotion of this organization. The officers for the first semester were: Clay Coy, President; Marian Hall, Vice-President; Daisy Pierce, Secretary; and Gladys Kinsey, Treasurer. The officers for the second semester were: Beulah Gaylord, President; Marjorie Simons, Vice-President; and Doris Turnbull, Treasurer.

They were organized with three purposes in mind: To give social training in the formation and successful maintenance of group organizations; to extend interests and experiences in self-chosen recreational activities; and to provide for the new students happy human contacts and jolly good times. They are definitely freshman clubs, as only first-year students may be active members. Upper classmen who have once joined may continue with the group as associate members. As Sophomores these associates will help to reorganize the club in September. The counselors are members of the faculty, faculty wives, or upperclassmen who are giving themselves generously to aid the the club advancement. ALPHA LITERARY SOCIETY joins the Everetts and Philos.

Through their organization the girls hope to have an opportunity to become acquainted with some of the frontier thinkers in their field. The club will soon become affiliated with the State and National Home Economics fraternity. One of the outstanding accomplishments for which the members are working is the establishment and carrying out of a Student Loan Fund for girls specializing in Home Economics. The membership of the club at present totals twenty-three. Miss Kathryn Towne, head of the department, and Mrs. T. E. Ennis, assistant in the department, have been influential in the organization and their interest is keenly felt by the club.

That group, however, included a number of veterans from previous Peru squads: and, under the very efficient direction of Mr. Lindsay, the debaters enjoyed a schedule of thirteen debates. The Negative team, captained by President Leonard, included Chatelain, Martin, and Knight. The Affirmatives, in addition to Captain Gaines, numbered Catlett, and Nickel. The season started on January 20, when the Negative team met Dana College at Blair. The Lutherans journeyed to Peru later to meet the Affirmative in a return debate. Other dual debates were with Kearney, Cotner, and Wesleyan. In debating with the Methodists, judges decisions were rendered and Peru dropped both debates by 2 to 1 votes. Brookings, South Dakota, introduced something new by requesting a two-man team and they were met by Leonard and Gaines on the home floor in a no-decision debate. For the first time in the history of Peru forensics, the debate squad was allowed to take an out-of-state trip. Coach Lindsay, Martin, Nickel. Leonard, and Gaines traveled to South Dakota to meet: East State Teachers College at Madison, Dakota Wesleyan at Mitchell, and Brookings State University at Brookings. This tour was a fitting climax for an interesting and difficult debate schedule.

'fhe Father-Son Banquet, held November 21, with L. C. Oberlies, of Lincoln, as speaker, was the first event of the year. Peru was represented at the State Convention by Leo Hauptman and Lowell Decker. Lyman Hoover, of Colorado, was on the campus March 13 and 14, and in April several foreign students of the University of Nebraska were brought to the campus. Many of the weekly meetings were in the form of hikes, games at volley ball, or swimming. Several Estes-booster programs were presented in an effort a large delegation to Estes this year. e OFFICERS James Delzeli President Wilbur Schindler Vice-President Leo Hauptman Secretary Elton Reinmiller Treasurer Lowell Decker Program Chairman John R.

The meeting resulted in such an organization, known as the C. C. A., which has been a continuous organization since. Regular meetings, twice a month, were then held in the Catholic Rest Room, on the third floor of the old Normal Hall. The Rest Room is now on the top floor of the present College Auditorium. This year the association, with twenty-five members was organized without an adviser. Five new members were taken in the second semester. They were: Doris Cook, Helen Aitken, Marjorie Leahy, Virginia Tynon, and Evelyn Wenzl. OFFICERS Jok Krejci. Harold Marren. Mary Kanaly . Ida Sen repel .

Y. C. A. During that first year, the membership was compara- tively small, but at the present time it exceeds the hundred mark. The purpose of the Young Women’s Christian Association is twofold: To unite in the desire to realize full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God; and to have a part in making this life possible for all people. To accomplish their ideals, the girls seek to understand Jesus and to follow Him. Each year the organization sends a delegate to Estes Park. Last summer this delegate was Florence Davis, the President during this year. Miss Davis had ten days in which to find both physical and spiritual recreation in the mountains. When she came back to school, she was ready to impart to her co-workers the inspiring messages which she had received from earnest and sincere religious leaders at the conference. For the last three years, the Y. W. C. A. has contributed to the Student Friendship Fund, and has given aid to needy families in Peru at the Christmas season. The success of these enterprises has been due to the united efforts of the organization's members. E. Gockley and K.

Not until the next year did the club become national, at which time it was affiliated with the International Kindergarten Union and with the National Primary Council. It is the custom of the club to sing carols at the Christmas season. This year the girls, costumed as old English folk and bearing lanterns and torches, carried their beautiful hymns to those who would be most cheered by them. The aim of the Early Elementary Council might be summed up thus: To strive ever to be better teachers; to seek the finest and highest in life; and to make all work acceptable in the sight of the greatest of all critics—the little child.

These honor students organized to form the Alpha Erudito fraternity. The primary purpose of the society is to create an incentive for high scholastic achievement. A secondary motive for the monthly meetings is found in the desire to meet a congenial group in a social way. One of the constant activities of the society is the writing of letters to high school seniors urging them to attend Peru State Teachers College. This year’s officers have been: Margaret Cain, President; Edith Boatman, Corresponding Secretary; Ellen Zink, Vice-President; Margaret Meier, Recording Secretary; and George Cook, Treasurer. Miss Towne is the sponsor of the club.

C. Beck at Peru State Teachers College May 24, 1926, with thirteen charter members. Sigma Tau Delta has a threefold purpose: the mastery of written expression, encouragement of worth while reading, and the fostering of a spirit of fellowship among those who specialize in the English language and literature. The Greek letters forming the name of the fraternity symbolize the motto of the organization: Sincerity, Truth, Design. The official publication of Sigma Tau Delta is known as the “Rectangle,” and original compositions by fraternity members are featured. Thus far this year, Phi Alpha chapter has been represented in the Rectangle by Mildred Graf, Joe Jones, and Charles Lindsay. Phi Alpha chapter has adopted the official freshman medal of the fraternity. This medal is presented each year to the freshman writing the best composition for that year and constitutes one of the annual awards of the college.

Its purpose has always been to place the teaching profession upon a high plane of consideration, both to its own members and to others. High standards of membership have been maintained, and activities have served to instill into participants a spirit of professional high-mindedness. There are now a number of alumni members in the field whose work is demonstrative of the inspiration which Delta Alpha Pi has in part given them. Now, in 1929, the nationalization into Kappa Delta Pi marks the greatest step in the history of the fraternity.

To this end. Dr. Hall-Quest of Columbia University came to inspect the college early this year, with the outcome that application for membership was granted. Kappa Delta Pi is a large national organization, having sixty chapters in various parts of the United States. Peru has the distinction of being the first Nebraska chapter. Its induction is a signal professional advance in the history of Peru State Teachers College.

It emphasizes, therefore, a threefold jrogram: Sound Scholarship, Dissemination of Scientific Knowledge, and Promptness of Biological Research. Pi Chapter of Tri Beta was installed on the Peru campus February 13, 1928, by Dr. Wm. Goldsmith, the national president of the fraternity. The charter members were selected from the membership of Sigma Beta Rho, a local honorary biological fraternity. Pi chapter of Tri Beta is a sustaining member of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences. Membership is open to students of junior and senior standing, whose principal interest is in the biological sciences, and whose scholarship is above the average of that of the entire student body. Associate membership is open to lower classmen of superior scholarship. Tri Beta holds annually a national essay contest on subjects of biological interest. Prizes of $25, $15, and $10 are awarded.

Peru chapter is the seventy-second to be formed. The idea of Pi Gamma Mu originated at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kansas, in the early spring of 1924. Pi Gamma Mu is not an ordinary honor society. It has no national ritual and no secret features of any sort. Its name is simple and modest, merely the initials of the Greek words meaning “Students of Social Science. The purpose of Pi Gamma Mu is the inculcation of the ideals of scholarship, scientific attitude, method, and social service in relation to all social problems. Members are elected from seniors and juniors having a general average of A or B, who are majoring or minoring in History or other Social Sciences. Pi Gamma Mu publishes a quarterly journal called “Social Science,” which appeared first in 1925. Its special purpose is to vitalize and deepen scientific social interest in young educated people.

Since then it has been officially recognized as a branch of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers, and is an institutional member of the Mathematical Association of America. The purpose of the fraternity is threefold: to develop and promote interest in the field of Mathematics; to inspire future Mathematics teachers; and to afford an opportunity for the discussion of subjects of Mathematical interest not presented in the classroom. Students who are majoring in Mathematics, either for the two-year diploma or for the A. B. degree, are eligible for membership. The honorary members of the fraternity are: A. L. Hill, Mrs. A. L.

The paper this year has been edited by Joe Jones, the first quarter, and Millard Fowler, the last three quarters, while the business management has been under Ralph Chatelain and Elmer R. Burkey. Under the leadership of these, combined with the help of their adviser, Thomas E. Ennis, and the members of the staff, the paper has met with unusual success. The normal size of the paper is four pages. This year the Pedagogian staff found it desirable on one occasion to change the size of the paper and during the Basket Ball Tournament they put out a special six-page edition. In a canvass of college newspapers of Nebraska, made by an advertising company of New York City, it was found that the Pedagogian ranked second to the University of Nebraska publication. According to this ranking, Peru has the best weekly paper in the state since the University paper is a daily.

Paat IS8 Training School Page I f9 Training School AT present there is no finer equipment or better training school building in use in the middle west than the T. J. Majors Training School pictured below. There are approximately 350 pupils enrolled from kindergarten through the twelfth grade with the 6-3-3 plan of organization used. The school is conducted for the purpose of providing, in so far as possible, typical classroom situations in which college students may observe expert teaching and actually do the teaching themselves under proper supervision. Each year approximately 200 college students get their first taste of teaching in this building. During the past year the building has been redecorated throughout; a very fine Kolster radio has been installed, and a Bousch Lomb Balopticon has been added to the projection room besides a new 16 mm. Eastman Kodoscopc Motion Picture machine, purchased by student funds. The old narrow football practice field is being enlarged into a regulation size gridiron and signs of progress may be observed everywhere about the building. S. I.. Clements The T. J. Majors Training School Page 160 Senior High School THE Senior High School is a part of the T. J. Majors Training School. It is made up of grades ten, eleven, and twelve. There were 115 enrolled this year, 86 of whom were Peru residents, 24 Nemaha county residents, 4 from other counties in the state and one person from out-state. The teaching in the high school as in the other departments of the training school is done by student teachers under the direction of the supervisors—Faul-haber, Kenton, Brown, Muck, and Mathews—who devote the major part of their time in the Senior High. The other six who supervise high school classes are concerned chiefly with college classes. During the past year only those college students who were of junior or senior rank were permitted to do practice teaching. Approximately thirty students teach in the Senior High each quarter. The Senior High School is a member in good standing of the North Central Association of High Schools and Colleges. It has also been given first class rating by the University of Nebraska. L. B.

Nearly every game was played in a rainstorm or in the mud, in fact the weather was so bad that the Auburn game on Thanksgiving day had to be cancelled. With only some nineteen men, six of whom were lettermen, reporting for practice, Coach Wonder developed a team which, playing only two games at home, won four games and lost three though they were outscored 66 to 43 by their opponents. Dasher and Captain Applegate were the young cats’ main offensive threats, while the Williams brothers, Captain-elect Newton, Pate, and Monteith were the mainstays on the defense.

Only two letterinen, Captain I. Williams and Applegate, were available for active service. However, Dasher turned out to be an ace in the hole and Newton teamed well with Applegate at the guard posts. Pate and Pugh, alternating at center, completed the team which won seven out of thirteen games played during the season. Sickness and ineligibility handicapped this green team, but during the season the Prepsters amassed a total of 218 points to their opponents’ 195. They won six out of seven of their home games and one out of five on the road.

Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. —Joyce Kilmer Page 176 The Bobcat Howl THE following scratches and bites were collected from the gay young blades and demure misses of our old institution, when they were unaware that we had seen them in their gambols over the campus, gum-chewing contests in the library, or their more sober moments in the class room. We got the low down on you from many different sources; maybe your dearest friends tipped us off, or maybe it was your “roomie,” or mayl c t was just the little bird that we hear so much about but never see. We make no attempt at wit; in some cases there is a point or fact to be brought out, while in others there is an attempt to keep you from forgetting the more frivolous things that happen at college. Now, if any organization or individual seems to detect a rather pointed statement in the following pages, you may do one of two things. You may make a fuss, which won’t help because its too late, or you may be a good s|x rt about it. Why not grin and keep sweet? —The Editor.

NEW RECORD EOR 1928 REGISTRATION FIRST MIXER RATES HIGH Get-acquainted was the spirit of the College Mixer held Saturday evening on the cam pus and athletic field. It is an old custom to hold an affair of this type each fall, as it seems to prove very successful in enlarging students speaking and da t i ng ” acq un i n t a nces. After getting acquainted at the gymnasium, the crowd proceeded to the athletic field. Mere the freshmen were introduced to a few of the outstanding events of the college pro-gra m.convocat ion, foot hall,a nd orchestra practice. From all appearances, Saturday night’s mixer assisted a great deal in helping to make campus friends. PERU TO HAVE NEW DORMITORY For several years it has been the fond hopes of Peruvians that Peru would someday have a new girls’ dormitory. Now the news comes that Peru shall have a new SlOO.OOOdormitory. The location of the new structure will lie as an addition to the present building in the form of a wing on the north. PEP CLUB INTRODUCED The Pep Club, a new organization on the campus, held its first meeting Wednesday afternoon, Octol)er 17, in the gymnasium. Dick Williams, head of the organization, gave a short talk on pep, and what it should mean to a Pep Club. The girls are going to show a lot of spirit at the rest of the games. There were forty girls, members of the club. THREE ONE-ACTS EVERETTS CHOICE The Everetts held a meeting Thursday at 8 o’clock in i the Little Theatre. Miss Burton, the adviser, gave a report of the committee on the Everett play. It was decided by vote to nave three one-act plays rather than just one play. COACH LOVELESS DIES SUDDENLY Taken III While in Des Moines James L. Loveless, assistant director of Men’s Physical Education, died suddenly Monday night, October 22, in the Methodist Hospital at Des Moines, Iowa. Mr. I oveless was taken sick while w.th the Bobcats at Des Moines, la. Monday noon, due to the seriousness of his illness, he was taken to the hospital at Omaha. Ilis home was at Emporia, Kansas, where the funeral was held Friday afternoon. Several Peru people were at the services. Mr. Loveless has been here since April 5, and was highly regarded by the faculty and student tody, lie was instructor in Physical Education and coach of bosket ball in the College. as well as director of the Physical Education program in the Training School. BLIND PIANIST GIVES PROGRAM Peru students and citizens had the privilege of attending a musical program given by Miss Helen May Martin, the world’s only blind and deaf pianist, at the college auditorium Wednesday, September 26. Miss Martin became interested in music quite early and was sent to a school for the deaf where her talents were soon realized. There was noth- Exroixmbnt Exceeds Previous Year’s Attendance Registration is now virtually complete anti the results should l e gratifying to everyone who is interested in P. S. T. C. The total enrollment at present writing is five hundred eight. This is quite a substantial increase over former years, showing that the gains in enrollment for the past few years are quite consistent. The present total enrollment, for this time of year, is the largest ever in the history of the college. If the enrollment increases as it did last year, the number should reach the six-hundred mark by the end of the year. BEING LATE No little amount of grief is caused on the campus of this college, both to instructors and students, by having students come late to classes. There is always talk about if from and about the campus. Laxity of punctuality in this school in particular is conducive to laxity of punctuality in the many schools served by the graduates of this one. An accurate system of clocks and tolls would do away with practically all lateness to classes, caused by variously regulated timepieces, and the holding of classes overtime. It is not advisable to wait until class gift funds accumulate before this step is taken. We need it now. ing of an amateur musician atout Miss Martin’s masterful playing. Besides appearing at the regular convocation, she appeared for a short recital at the dormitory luncheon following convocation. Page I SI PERU PEDAGOGIAN Vol. XXIV Pern State Teachers College No. 2. NATIONAL FRATS ORGANIZED PI GAMMA MU CHAPTER GRANTED Through the effortsof Charles Lindsay, professor of history, Peru has been granted a chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, the national Social Science fraternity. A letter dated February 25, from Dean Eeroy Allen, national president, to Mr. Lindsay reads, “1 wish to say that your application for a Pi Gamma Mu chapter is in good form and has been accepted.” MONOPOLIZING STUDENT’S TIME Some teachers have wonderful ideas as to the amount of work a student can do in their classes. In a way it may look right—but in other ways it looks as though the teacher may l e inclined to Ik: selfish. Many students have registered for two-hour courses and attend class four times a week for the entire semester. When the case is like this the teacher is not entitled to outside work from the students. Hut as the case is, the teacher often has a large reading list, requires a noteliook, then assigns about twice as much as the ordinary student can do in class time. And then, after all the assignments are made, proceeds to lecture to the class the rest of the period: and tell them how the lesson should be prepared, or discuss what has been done in the class the preceding year or period. Monopoly of time can result in no good to the students. Students l ccomc overworked in one class and get behind in another. The time must come before many years when the teachers of the school must outline their work; keeping it within the time allotted for the average student. AT TEN-TIIIRTY They strolled thru the Campus at ten fifteen, 'Twas almost the parting hour; And the moon rose o’er the city, Behind the Second Church tower. And far in the hazy distance Of the lovely night in June, The blaze of the shining Dorm lights, Gleamed redder than the moon. And as they draw near to the Dorm, In the shadows of the hall They see the Dean is waiting, The lingering girls to call. They stop and | ausc in the doorway, And tho 'tis in plain sight He plants a kiss on her lovely cheek, Before they part that night. How often, oh how often, I n the days that had gone by, Had he left the Dorm with a throbbing heart, And heaved a lonesome sigh. And whenever 1 cross the Campus With its trees and buildings dear, Like the fragrant odor of springtime, Comes the thot of each college year. And I think how many others Of love-encumbered men, Each leaving his girl at ten-thirty. Have crossed the Campus since then. The l oys have to leave too early It's a crime, it’s a shame, it's a sin, For the beauty of night is just waking, When the Dorm girls have to go in. DELTA ALPHA PI NATIONALIZED Delta Alpha Pi, the local education fraternity, received word near the end of the third quarter that they had been accepted as a chapter of the national educational fraternity, Kappa Delta Pi. The local organization has worked for a long time to gain recognition by this national fraternity and this announcement is the culmination of a visit made on this campus by Dr. Hall-Quest of Columbia University. PHILOS VOTE FUND FOR BELL SYSTEM At the regular meeting of the Philomathean Literary Society Thursday, March 14, it was decided to use the money from the Liberty Bond which was liought by the Philos in 1928 to complete the fund for a bell system at Peru State Teachers College. The feeling has long existed at the college that a bell system is a much-needed improvement and would l c a decided asset to the campus equipment. STRONG 11 KA RT ENTERTAINS STUDENTS Chief Stronghcart of the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington State, appeared at the college Auditorium, Saturday, March 16, at 8 p. m., when he addressed the audience on the subject “From Peace Pipe to War Trail.” In this platform appearance, Chief Stronghcart appeared in the picturesque costume of the Yakima Indian tribe. During his appearance lie explained several of the Indian customs, among which the different parts of his costume. Chief Stronghcart is an experienced speaker and this experience comes not only from his years of platform work, but also from his many appearances before committees on Indian affairs in Washington. t Page 181 PERU PEDACOGIAN Vol. XXIV Peru State Teachers College No. 3 CHADRON EAGLES ELIMINATED, 13-0 SPIRIT OF HOME-COMING IS HIGH The whole thing was a glorious business—one of the finest of home-comings. Every single bit of decoration, every hearty handshake with a returning grab, each small touch of whatnot, blended to make the whole harmonious; and everyone of those raindrops that fell Indore tried its l cst to put a damper on it all—and it couldn’t l c done! No one can question the real, true—Peru spirit!—that was so predominant. It’s all over now, that’s true: but won’t we have another fine one next year? Aye, every inch a homecoming. POINT SYSTEM One of the most-discussed problems on the campus for some time has been the Point System, designed to bring about distribution of extracurricular activities more equally among students. The administration of the system isto l c in student hands. We feel that this system is a wise move, since conditions in the field do seem to lx: a bit off balance; and we believe that, in the competent hands into which it is placed, a fair administration will be worked out. POSTOFFICE TO OPEN SUNDAYS Beginning Sunday, December 9, the Peru jxjstofiicc will be open to the public for the receipt and dispatch of mail. T h e m ovement w h i c h brought about this result was sponsored by the roomers at the W. F. Hoyt house. It was through their constant efforts that petitions were circulated.

This littered office no longer rings with the staccato of long-droning typewriters. We arc no longer troubled with nightmares and bugbears of discount dates and time limits—the 1929 Peruvian is done! You now hold the fruits of one year’s efforts and tireless endeavors of one of the most loyal staffs with which any editor has had the pleasure of associating. When there was work to be done, every last one of them would rally to the cause and stay on the job until it was completed. Few people can realize the hours of laljor that arc utilized in producing even one page of this l ook. The 1929 Peruvian is done! It has caused us many sleepless nights and fretful days, and a temper that was once meek and serene is now sadly afflicted with Peruvian “Heebe-jeebes.” So, if there are a series of typographical errors after your name, or even if we have given you a new name, do not blame us too much, but rather lay part of your just condemnation on the system. We have loved the Peruvian so much that we gave our only begotten courses that its pages might bear good fruit. Editing the Peruvian has not been without its glorifying moments. Representative student candidates, and others that aspired to be candidates, smiled and looked longingly at us in March, only to turn frigid and give us frozen glances in May. Classmen, whose names were misspelled or whose pictures were left out, have made wild threats at us, but we arc still happy and alive. The 1929 Peruvian is done! We thank Mr. Carter and Mr. Larson for their patience and advice; we thank the Peterson studio for co-operating with us and getting the photographs done on time; we thank the printer and engraver for their guidance and perseverance; we thank Hob Murphree for his planning and directing, and, last of all—we thank God that it is all over. To the editors of future Peruvians, we extend our best wishes and congratulations. Some people are born crazy, others are temporarily insane, and others edit a yearbook. —Wilbur Schindler.

A hobby is the complement to work that prevents many a “Jack from being a dull bov,” for men arc boys grown up. He docs his work all the better for his ability to play well, and he keeps himself in better spirits mentally and fit condition physically. Not a few of the outstanding achievements in many lines of research, science and semi-scientific activities have been made by men with whom the field of such service has been in the nature of a hobby. So, get a hobby now, if you haven’t one to brighten your pathway as you labor day by day and then to become your solace in those years when your place at the desk or in the field will be taken by a young successor. Barton C. Howe and William H. Bousfiei.d Doing Business as HOWE BOUSFIELD INSURANCE AGENCY Office First National Bank Phone 83 Auburn Nebraska The Romance of Business ! ! ! T Urni most of the world charted and placed in our geographies; with both the North and South Pole presenting nothing new to us in the way of excitement, we arc continuing to find our greatest adventure and our greatest romance in business. To prove this we have but to look at our great leaders of today, including Henry Ford, George Eastman, Cyrus H. K. Curtis. George Baker, and many others, all of whom have amassed vast fortunes, to realize that they continue in business, not because of the money they arc making, but because of the romance which they get out of it and the joy and pleasure which it affords them as long as they live. The Romance of Banking is an interesting and most fascinating subject when you think what a part it has played in the United States and the world. And if, perchance, you have lost the romance and vision of your work, and you have simply become a cog in a dreary and monotonous machine which grinds ceaselessly day after day, then you should either change your business or you should get a new vision of what your real opportunities arc, for there is romance in business.
