MARY WERNER Editor DON ROSE Business Manager PERU STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE PERU, N EBRASKA VOLUME XXXI I I SccS4iC£. UcM. O w S o m e h buildings are than just steel and stone . . . every cranny seems to whi remember . these more iisper. Here, on visible evidence moving upward . . . Within this year a new building has risen to change the profile of our campus—the new Men's Dormitory stands as o milestone to the Peru of the 4 ’ ■ future, toward which present students and administration are striving ... If you have caught the spirit of the Peru of Tomorrow in the depicting of the year's activities, our purpose is not defeated. To M. Florence Martin—not because of the way she reads poetry or wears blue, or makes brilliant speeches—nor, because her classes are so refreshing and she is amusing and ecstatic—but—because she was elected by the student body as the most popular professor on the campus—and to her, this book is dedicated.

Trively, Chinnock and Crone display that stock June feeling. President-Builder W. R. Pate FACULTY We are guided and governed by professors who are real people. They're the sort whose relations with us go deeper than a name on a paper — a number in a grade book. They worry when we board at the infirmary— and beam when we win a contest—or a game—or a job! They are the educators who, although it be their first year in Peru, as it was Dr. Charles Seeg-miller's. Dr. Theron Od-laug's. Dr. A. L. Bradford's, Professor Ralph Sellhorn's, Professor Mildred Cattern's, Librarian Harold Fisher's, and Nurse Margaret Henning-sen's, they fit in so effectively, we feel as if we've known them since cradle-roll days. We remember that surge of pride comerstone-laying-day when masons and martial music filled the skeleton of the Men's Hall, and our prexy, W. R. Pate thrilled us with plans for the future of our school. We recall his confessions of pronoun c-iation practice periods because of our iskis, the bang he got out of our convocation a n n o u n cements, and the evident fact that he's a great guy. Pag Fourteen Crack croqueter Dean Dunning can well rib Dorm Assistant Marsh upon the upkeep caused by the winter feeding of orphink sparrows who lead in untold feathered hordes. Dean Jimmerson contrasts his hunting and fishing hobby with the pastime, sewing, i n -dulged in by Mrs. Russell. Dormitory Matron, who finds time also to rescue the dunked dogs of third floor.

Pago Twonty-throe Because of that last fling at the cum laude angle of graduation, the seniors took time out from learning only long enough to appoint Merritt Jensen, president, Bob Halladay, vice president, Maxine Pershing, secretary, and Russell Sommers, treasurer, and then began the back-to-book movement. Notorious for their winning over fledgings, the quaint warm-the-pad-dle game, juniors, headed this year by Severn Handley, Ed Falloon, Marjorie Evans, and Mary Olive Richardson, were more polite to the senior class, welcoming grads to the annual Spring Prom. ith an all-male board of control, came sophomore parties with he-men re reshments.

Gamma Chi's brown-eyed prexy looked over purposes of the club, noted an auditorium filled with champing gals and dealt out a program whose kick was felt all season. To cultivate inner poise, create cultural atmosphere, there were marriage discussions, dancing sessions, Christmas caroling bees, and prom trottings. Friendship promotion took place during worthwhile relaxation periods which extended from the inhaling of popcorn balls and apple cider to the chortling over toy turtle races and musical kneeling games. Stirring up the campus with an old love—a costume party, caused Gamma Chiers to fling on assorted knick-knacks February 12, which might typify the month of their births. Bernice Klindt was attired in a firecracker suit; Edie Straube impersonated Santa; funie Modlin snitched her roomie's curtains for her bride costume; the bandaged trio of Thomas. Jones and Collins paraded as the Spirit of 76; and Pauline Stark was a preacher, Phil Benson a barefoot boy, and Ruth McDonald the typical mother-in-law. But snooky as the other kids were, Spanish Peanut Vendor Grace Muenchau and Helen Janecek as a Czechoslovakian doll were dubbed best dressed.” Every month rattled away with stunts which included Maypole dances, leap year proposals, fishing sprees, and necktie parties, but cleverest portion of the program was that written by the combined forces of the November-Decem-ber group: Mary Modlin. Marge Gillam, Gen Mobley, Edith Straube, Hazel Palmer, Dottie Teachman, Ginnie Palmer, Helen Janecek, Ruth Swartz, and Muriel Reuter, who opened a doll shop and won first prize.

Dr. P. A. Maxwell acted chairman of the counselors’ meetings; Professor R. T.

However, the entire group this year instituted a series of Sunday Afternoon Musicals in the Music Hall Auditorium; during Holy Week presented the Lenten Cantata” by Stainer as their contribution to the spring festivities. The first Sunday in May the chorus sang the Elijah in junction with the College orchestra as a budget event with Oscar Bennett, baritone soloist from Wesleyan music faculty; Alice Auxier, supervisor of music at Seward; Dr. Lloyd Hiem, tenor from Humboldt, and Martha Clifton, senior chorus member as soloists for the group.

Under the tutelage of Professor Victor Hugo Jindra and First Assistant Charlie Gabus, the band gave with the color song to start the necessary patty caking that acts as a cold chaser and thrill arouser. Sandwiching in practice periods during that ever-filled float period, the band did not discontinue after the knell of football days, but rather carried the torch into the basketball season after leading rallies, firelighted parades and convocation pep programs.

Early in September, Jeanne Winkelman newly-appointed editor of the weekly rag, steeled herself against censored columns, dangling participles, typographical errors, and crawled into her office to publish evidence that she could take it—and dish out—the Peda-gogian. Her staff, which in her own words, was pretty darn good”—consisted of her gal Friday, Rose McGinnis, sport-minded Wayne McGinnis, Bill Cain, the ace error catcher, and M. Florence Martin, super-super faculty advisor. During a shake up at the end of the first semester, Wayne McGinnis was replaced by gang-leader” Bill Brooks, and feature reporters, Lloyd Dunlap, and Kay Bartling. Interviews with the feted Percy Grainger, Helen Howe; features on faculty newcomers; scads of gore columns; and editorials whose fingers were upon the college pulse sparkled away in certain editions. Editor Winkelman felt amply repaid for weekend worries and those long Monday evenings sitting up with a linotype; in the thrill of being thoroughly smeared with printer's ink, in knowing the news ahead of the man about campus, in having an opportunity to display a bit of superiority in her own office.

Antelopes and Bobcats fought on even terms at Pate Field as Peru defeated Kearney 6-0 in a heated battle before a large crowd of Homecomers October 14. Campbell intercepted an enemy pass late in the third quarter and returned from his own 22 to the midfield stripe, rammed twice for a first down on the Antelope 37, gained two more first downs and helped Henderson score on a double reverse.

It was the last roundup for Swisher” Halladay whose 328 points smashed a record; Len Greathouse, who tallied 271 baskets; Ding Bailey, one of the state's outstanding guards, and Pruke Purucker, the organization's mainstay.

Peru 49 ...Midland 36 As both Halladay and Greathouse were held under 10 points, Mac took over scoring duties—17 of 'em, to out-swish the Midland warriors. Peru 50 .... Doane 30 Victory number seven came as Belka was all Doane had to offer. Greathouse and Halladay again were best for Peru with 15 and 14 counters respectively.
