A PICT U RE If I could paint a picture. And J>$int it with colors true, 1 would spend my time in work sublime Painting old Peru.

I would paint thooe hills and valleys, Those fields with their golden sheaves. The little squirrel with his swish and whirl, Those beautiful autumn Jea,•es.

Those kings of the stately forest . Monarchs of .ages past.

Those rugged hills. those rocks and rills. God grant they may always las!.

We mix our earthly colors And eall our paintings good; But the God above with heart or love Makes colors that no man could. He has taken the rarest colors. The gems of heavenly blue. And painted a picture in nature. We eall that picture Peru .

HON. W, J. BRYAN, Class Day Orator. The senior class is fortunate indeed in s~uring H.on. William J. Bryan for class orator. It ig hardly necessa.ry to mention the prominence of ~lr. Bryan as his political campaigns. battle.iJ and ideals have won him a place

in the hearts of the )Joe<Jple and rooorded his name as one of America.'f\ most il1u~trious statesmen. Mr. Bryan. the politician, is espe<:iaHy known for his punty of character. He stands ftS an example of the faet that a man can

enter polit.ics and still retain his rurity and StTtatness of character. The most deadly political opponents o .Mr. Bryan admire him as a man and believe in his honesty and sterlin$( \\'Orth. When ~1r. Bryan was stumping t~e state in the recent gubernatorial campaign he visited Peru and dC"-hvered an educational addrcs.'\ which demonstrated him to be a great educator and a deep thinker in edueational as well as politics.

THE REV. ~IR. I. F. ROACH Who has be<!n chosen to preach the B.â&#x20AC;˘ecalaurcate Sermon to the Class of 1907. is one of the best Pulpit Orators in the State or Nebraska. He is a man who is heartily in touch and sympathy with college Hfe. While in the Pastorate at Boise, Idaho, he was vitally connected with the State University of that commonwealth. From here he wAA called to St. Paul's Church, Lincoln, Nebr. , where he is doing efficient work. He is a thinker, a acholar, a close student of the problems that confront the young man or woman as they take up life's work, and is an orator. The members or the Class of 1907 count themselves fortunate in being able to secure Rev. ~lr. Roach upon this occasion.

COLLEGE SONG You may choose from all the colors That now stand for college fame, There's the ornnge. black. the scarlet, They're sure to kindle flame: But the only combination That makes our younjl hearts light, As we sing with adoration,

Is the pale blue and the white. Throu$lh the four lonA" years of college. Mid the seenes we'love $0 well, While the mystic charm o!knowlege We vainly seek to spell: Or we win our mental victoriC'S. As we strive with aU our might.

We will ne'er forget. the pleasures Of the pale blue and the white. When the cares of life o'er take us. ~lingling fast our locks of gray, And our dearest hopes fors..1.ke us.

False fortunes fade a\\'os.)':

Still we banish care and sadne;;s, As we think of hours so bright. And recall those days of gladness 'Neath the pale blue and the white. COLLEGE COLORS Pale Blue and White.

SIGHTS ABOUT PERU If I could paint a picture. And paint it with colol'$ true, I'd spend my time jn work sublime Painting old Peru.- Barton. ( l 'OU may climb the green.(llad hills of Vermont and call them beautiful; ~ you may stand and see in the distance the snow·capped mountains of our western states, and be held speechless by their grandeur; you may take a look at the magnificent Niagara and hear it• mighty roar; or you may sit in the cool evening bre<!Ze and gaze out upon the glorious Gulf; but if you have not stood upon the campus at Peru, then beauty has not presented itself to you in its real light. Was there ever a campus mol'<l picturesque. one more AAtisfying to the eye or more pleasing to the spirit. As your eye wanders to the open ''alley to the north you see the majes· tic Mis.wuri a.~ it wanders and meanders on its mystic way to the briny deeJ>. To the northwest is the famous old hill Pike's Peak to which each student must repair and with which he must become accquainted before he has done the town. And then we must not forget our good old coal mine. You have certainly missed a part of your collea:e life if you have not invest· igated this phenomenon of ours. It has become famou~ as the destination of many of our picnics, if not in other lines. And lastly, but not least I will simply mention the name of the path of love and happiness, "Lover• Lane." It needs no explanation. you've all been there. Innumerable such places might be named and elaborated upon. but I will simply say, "Come to Peru. see for YOUI'$Cif, look and believe."

And it came to Jl.'SS as they girded themselves with mighty arms, they straightway marched into the temple of the King and there was great noise in all the land. 8.

SEN IOR CLASS PLAY The Shakespearian play" As You Like It," given by the ~nior class was indeed a credit to the class of '07. This J)lay is the most pepular or all plays given by Normal schools. This was inde<!d a most fitting elimax for our year's work.

The cast of characters

consisted of seventeen men and four ladies chosen with the greatest care, so that each one was fitted for the plncc he or â&#x20AC;˘he held. Mis.

KINDERGARTEN SENIORS An ardous task hangs on her who would JU"OCiaim the hiotory of the Kindergarten S<Jniors of 1907. but like Sir Launfal. "'She has taken her vow And never a bed for her shall be spread Or a pillow put under her head. Until she hns kept her vow.,. The class was organi•ed in Room A. S<Jptember. 1905. We were Juniorg then, twenty in number. and vdth a \'Cry promising future. Being Juniors we were obli)fed to sit back and observe thoec noble S.,niors put into practice what the)• had learned in their Junior year. On the whole the Junior year w~ a very plensant, though hard one. We were all glad when June u•hered in vacation time. but we were equally as anxious to come back to work when Se))tember came again. This time we came with different feelings. different aspirations and higher ideals than the year before. for we were to be Seniors. and the time had eome when we would instruct and inspire the minds of thoec little people. who some day will be leaders in edue.•tion and government. We found ourselves in new quarters, for the Kinder· gartcn room was no longer in the ~ment.. bu~ oe.. CI.IJ)ied a bri.stht, sunny room on the first floor. Our

first introduction to it was not very pleasant but nfWr a few days work under t-he careful management of our leader. it became very inviting and homelike. The first morning p•·esented a happy scene. for the children were as glad to get back as the teachers were to have them. Thus our Senior year began. Our teaching brought us valuable criticism from our beloved critic, Miss Hosmer: we will reali1.e this more fully when battling alone. Socially our Senior year has been n success. In the fall the Seniors entertained the Juniors with a water· melon p._'\rty in the K indc.rgnrten room. ~1ter the Juniors returned the compliment by giving a Hallow e'en celebration in honor of the Seniors.. This also was given in the Kindergarten room, for we all Cool more at home there, than in any other place in the Normal. When we met. a.s Seniors a !ew o( our number did not return with us, leaving only twelve but these were interested and enthusiastic over their work. At Thanksgiving time a thirteenth j'oined us. It is usually understood that thirteen is un ucky. but we have proved it otherwise. One feature remains in our Senior year, namely. )fraduation to which we all look forward. and after which we will be prepared to lnunch out into the Kindergarten world of usefulness.

TH E JUNIO R-SENIO R RECEPTION On the evening of March t.wenty·third. the Seniors responded to the hearty invitation of the Junior class and nssembled in the chapel where a plcas..·mt sur.. prise had been arranged for them. The chapel Ptagc was tr3nsformed to a Hall of Fame and each Junior represented p,ome famous character in our world's his· tory of fact and fiction. It was an cntertainnlent of artistic interest. The costumes were elegant.. The J)roees5ion of court ladie~ and gentlemen was a splen· did picture to look upon. as well as that most queenly queen. The drill by the Grecian robed Junion was a g'niCC(ul seene,- and so was it all. even to the pretty little lassies who came at the last call. As the drama closed, the sruests were invited to the gymnasium. Another most pleasant surprise await«! them. The

Gymnasium soomOO to have boon touched by a fairy's

wand and changed to a magnificent. reception hall. An inlonnal reception occupied the remainder of the evening. while the screened orchestra played most beautiful music to add to our merriment. Orange sherbet. was served at booths decorated in Senior class coJors. The Juniors deserve much credit tor the very pleasant evening the)· afforded their guests. and the Seniors will forever remember it. as one of the most delightful event;g during their life at l>eru Nor-

mal. This informal reception idea was an innovation introduced by the Junio,., this year. The faculty mom· ben; were guests of honor. The vocabulary of the Senior cla.....,g is not sufficient to express in words the pleasure it enjoyed from the ho:~pitality of the Junior class on this evening, which is always plea.&i.nlly anti· cip.•ted by every Senior clnss in the State Nonnal.

EVERETT SOCI ETY

policy of the progrnm committees to render programs of real literary character is well followed.

A glance over the year for Everett exhibits a record of achievement not often parnlleloo in literary society annals. Starting in at the first of the year with less than a score of member.~. the end of the year is approached with a memben<hip of one hundted and fifty loyal and enthusiastic praetitioners of J::d· ward Everett. There have been several causes for this result. the primary one beinl!' the determination of the group who started in at the opening o( the year to make the society one of the forees of th~ Normal School. Supplementinl!' the labors of the loyal group has been the active policy of the society. "Once an ~~vcrctt n.1ways an Everett~"' The systern of pre·

Addoo to these conditions there has been a general disposition, on the p.•rt of the membership and of the school in general, to reeogni>.c tho claim upon Friday evenings that the literary societies hold by tradition and by virtue of what literary societies stand for. There has been less to interfere with the Friday eveninl!' meetings this year than has been true for many years. Not only has Everett developed along literary Jines but along material lines as well. The society has entered actively upon a campaign looking to the final mak· ing of the society hall one of the most attractive lit· crary homes in Nebraska. paring the program go as to give every member the opportuniy to do active lit.crnry work, and the definite Everett will continue to satisfy student ambitions ··A swtplr rllild lltllllizAIIy di"#WS its 6rY1111l 4Hrd fuls ils IIJ~ ;,. n·~'J' lim6"

Professors Beck and Howie and Miss Goshen were selected to act as judges. Each night the hall was crowded to it.s fullest capacity and on the laat night many were turned away.

The question debated was: "Resolved, that a portion or our national revenue should be raised by levying a tax on inherited wealth." Kansas team, debating Campbell College, Holton, Kansas: J. T. Akers, C. E. Benson. Belle Bolejack, M. IV. Ryan. The question debated was: "Resolved, that threefourths of a jury should be made competent to render a verdict in criminal cases."

MOUNT VERNON HALL. There is no place in Peru. or even in Nebraska that will quiUt compare with the dear old Mount Vernon Hall. Mount. Vernon h; home. a cozy. bu~y place where our young women enjoy every comfort and every pleasure.

Each girl is a queen in her nJ)artment. and rules there as n mother rules her home. There is one who guides these young womanly minds and helps them in attaining a quiet. reserved. dignity, v.•hich every young woman should aequire. The young ladies meet their friends and entertain their guests as any young lady is allowed to do in any

other social POSition. The birthdays are anticipaWd with great delight; for then the table of the fortunate one will be decoratoo in very man)r artistic ways. Little dinners. with a French menu course are also appropriate to these little

occurcnccs and one must not forget the little souvenirs, of cunning device that Mch member at the table finds at her plate. Then our annual reception on Washington's birth·

day is a source of deep enjoyment. We see our g irlish house-mates trans!ormoo into quaint, dignifioo Colonial damea. and sec them welcoming our gu.,.ts, through the strains of martial music, by the Mount Vernon Orches-tra or Band. The daily life at Mount Vernon is as a little stream. flowing along quietly but ever bubblin~t over in its own quiet delights. Our friendships here !ormoo are true and sweet.. We Jove each other. for what we really arc; for is it not our daily lives that really count? We learn to appreciate their value, and when just one girl is gone from among us, how we miss her. Just as the little brook has its rough ground to travel. so have we little trials, but as the brook we glide on more the brighter when the rough is past. ~lay the fellowship sweet Pret>are each friend to meet.

THE CROWNI NG OFTHE GYPSY QUEEN.

GYPSY QUEEN. Peru, Man:h 21. 1907. My Dear- The great issue of the season is really over. The Gypsy Queen is really crowned and it all happened on the most splendid of thrones. nil covered with pretty flowc~. Mis.s Lottie Cooley made the queenliest of Queens,

taking the royal seat with all the sovereign power and dignity of which she is the rightful owner. 0. it was all so lovely! How I do wish you could ha,·e boon there to see us tambourine girls, gowned in dazzling yellow satin (?) and jewel~ galore. Strenuous, to say the least. was the effort to adjust our dainty[?]feet to trip to the spri~thtly music of '"night and morning.'' But it paid! For. being modest withal. we shall admit. that everybody said that we were· 'eight of the fairest. fascinating. feminine fellow students. who on that night fought for fame and found it fully.'" Mr. Hurot (Prince Cri•tall) was simply grand. An ideal lover. too, and as true as steel. Why even after the ordenl of • hateful flirtation with that freckled. frivolous Annetta: and standing as he did at the platform o! execution, he still bod a lasting courage to dedarc that without Margucrita. "dc;kth was joy.. a "rare bit." of martyrdom to my way of thinking. )lr. W. G. Brooks (Henrr) and Miss Carrie Niedermeyer (Annett..a) sang well. ag was expected, and oh, my, they did look great in American oostumes in the last scene. )1 rs..

From its pietur路 csque locality- situated as it is, in a Glenn of Onk trceJ!. As we enter th~ small artistic hall various savory

But why S..'\Y this. for hospitality reigns supreme at all times. 0. what a pretty living room, just the typical school girl's room- pennants, pietuNS and posters galore. and there is t.h o little table spread with pearly white linen. But come into this adjoining, appartmcnt. Yes it is a tiny kitchen and here with the various kettles, pans. dishes and utensils. numerous concoctions arise. Never for a minute suppose t,h at the results here obtained an) always a success. They arc new at the art, yet under the skillful supervision of their beloved preceptress they are pro$0'08Sing famously; and listen! [although I have no right to tell) I have heard that in oome cas<!s. at some futuro day, their domestic art will not have to be con路 fined to an apartment of two rooms.

A NATURAL LEADEI!. One or the $:reatest aetg o( diplomacy, eourngc and

fen.rlessncss was recently performed by a Crete boy Louie Knoll. Louie is attending the Peru State Normal. A mock political convention wag held in the NOI'mal Chapel to demonstrate how Presidents of the U. S. are elected. The convention a~ is true in everyday life di\'ided itself into ~wo factions- the good and the bod. the true nnd the false. The clean faction was headed by two worthy Peruvians. Jtte~~r&. Penney nnd Mitchell and our own boy Louis. The corrupt faction was led br ~wo worthies;, scalawags, K )1. Cline of Falls City and E. K. Hu~t of Auburn. The corrupt. faction. aidOO by the e'•il genius himself. was apparent!)• controlling the convention in a very high-handed manner. They nomianted for Chairman one or their men, viz: W. G. Brooks, who is a nreacher's son and that is sufficient and for President of the U. S. one Bcnj. Harrison. a man of no repute. The elcan faction was sickened at such corruption. By this time the convention was a mere howling mass of humanity. The Anti·CorruptionisL'l norninat.OO Louis to rcJ)lace the villain O«upying the chair. With imntovable countenance, speechless lips and unwinking eyes Loui~ faeed the impi~h demon!t. Unable to obt.1in the gnvel from the de~tonerate Brooks without the usc of ungentlemanly and unehristianlikc foree, Louis completely covered the Chairman's desk and thus outwitted hil~ \'icious enemy. The enemy's lines once broken goon gave way and

without saying a word Louis was soon master or the situation and the 1 ' lllaek Cang" were undeniably defeated. Such rare presence of mind. such self control and super-abundance of wisdom hn.s never been before witne...~t.~ at Peru. Here's hopes for the suece~ of such a noble youth as Louis J.
