To see oursils as ithers see us."
Every ·minute detail, on which so much depends in an allegorical play, was artistiE:ally brot out. Her ability to hold the large audience so intent thru the long recital bespeaks the success of the evening's e ntertainment.
On Friday evening of last week the seniors, not the least bit daunted by the downpouring of raiu, gathered in the gymnasium of the new trainer building to spend an hour in playing and eating-principally eatmg. Each person acted as his own host and contributed his share toward making the hour one of the most en.ioyable one of year by participatinJ< in the of the evening, which were "miller bay," ten littJe- Indians,'' "skip," and various other "new" activities. By far the biggest feature of the evening was the supper which was served und er the direction of H. R. Wiley. Each person was given a bountiful supply of delicious eats and plenty of· punch.' The demand for food was prodigious, and the supply inexhaustible, and all "carried awav" large stores of food Owing to the many rehearsals and engagements for the evening, the crowd dispersed early iri the E; V.e nin g, but

Brilliant Speeches Mark Morning's Exercises
On Saturady Mor ning at I 0:00 A. M., was solemnized an occasion to which Peru students, alumni anrl faculty have long looked forward, the dedication of the T. J. Majors Training Building. Despite the mud and dampness a large audience was present to witness this long dreamed of dedication and added materially to the dignity of the occasion. The idea pervading the e ntire d ed ication seemed to be that the training huilding we have t oday is but the blossoming of the bud of 1867 , that for years men have been dream-

FORMER NORMAL PRESIDENTS SPEAK
Today is Reunion and Semi Centcn" nial Celebration Day
On Tue:.;day morning at ten o'clock Peru was r em inded that th e normal sc hool has not always been a large and great school, and that her present rank was obtained not by chance or fortunate circumstances. One became distinctly aware that the hards hips of th e past have only been ove r come by foresight, rP.al bravery, and heroism.
The address of Dr. J. M. McKenzie of Byron, California was suitab le for Semi-Centennial Week in a especial and peculiar way.
In 18u6 Dr. McKenzie came to fo und a rienominationl school. This gave place to the present State Normal. The floors of the building were made of green cottonwood lumber anri this in o ne case fro· tunately p rov ed to be a good fire extinguh;her. There were fifty pupils and two teache rs in thi s first schoo I, and they seemed to be one large family rather tban a schoo l.

ANNUAL · MUSIC FESTIVAL
A Big Success From Every Point of of View
The seventh annual Festival of musiC: opened on Monday morning at ten o'clock. True to Dr. House's promise that the program should begin on time, at the appointed moment Mr. Lewis Tvler gave before the gathering audience a brief but illuminating sketch of the oratorio, Stabat Mater, its setting, its character, and something of its composer, Rossini.
The music of Stabat Mater is notable for the ly ric beauty of its melodies, its marvelous tone color, its harmonies.

An Explanation.
The following article appear ing in the Omaha Bee of May 24, under the caption, "Peru Men Overcome All Objections and Enlist," is a gross distortion of the truth.
"William Furmaan, Marsland , and Howard Smith, Davenport, Neb., both students at tb e Peru Normal School, came to Omaha yesterday and applied for e nli stment. On account of defect ive eyesight, Smith failed to pass the • examination and returned home greatly passed the examination, enlisted m the hosili_tal corps at;d. in a few day will go to fue tratntng camp at l•'ort Logan.
"Both Furman and Sm ith are active members in Methodist chrch work in Peru and have relgious scruples against engaJ.d ng in an occupation where killing is part of the of the work. The need of their country at this time overcame a ll objections against going to war and they offered their services."
We have not at all overcome our objections to this war. We are still unable to make the teachings of Christ dovetai l into motives which prompted us to enter this ,.. and our countrymen, and because enlistment in the field hospital service would give us opportunity to prove this Jove, "'e atte mpted to enlist in that service. This kind of work provides expos ure to danger, and the c hance to save lives instead of taking them. In addition, we were ambitions to prove that not all pacifists urge peace for safety first reasons. These were surely Willis Furman's great motives for apply ing for the Posit ion in the army. He ill seventeen years old, and therefore not subject to the draft. There was nothing noteworthy in my own application. I am twenty-two and therefore would have to meet the same gituation later anyway. The point is that conviction and courage like Furman' s s hould be given some recognition. The case was put fairly bt>fore the city editor!' of the Omaha Wol'ld-Heralrl and • th e Omaha Bee. The World-Hera lrl suavely promised to report the in, r.ident faithfully, the Bee li ke wise. Nothing appeared in the World, Herald. The Bee mi s represented except in the statement that Furman was accepted anrl I was re' j ected because of dei'ective eye' sight. This is a tr i vial incident probably. Its i rnport is · may 1 suspect that the re is some.a :gigfjntic insi-
di ous attempt being made to mufTic the voice of the peop le?
It may be of interest to add that Furman, who since leaving Peru was tried on what appears to have been a tr um ped up charge of treason, has been succesfully acqu i tted. Hi s sentiments concerning war had as little taste of treason in them as that which I have written above. The main evidence given at his trial was letters delivered by his people to the author i ties-letters written home to his p eople! Yes, in Amer ica!
My only apology for writing this is, I think it my duty to do my
things of thi s little part in gettwg 1 at least. sort befo re a ft w p eop e, . h Howard Sm' t . W E are al ways ready to !'crve you. It is a pleasure for us to do so.

One ot the mirth provoking characters of the play was a certain very sta nch "Presbyteri an" of great financial acumen, but unbelievable stupid ity when it came to socia l s ituations Ray Robertson portrayed this type very consistently.

Maude Carpenter, the director, has indeed accomplished wonders in training the child ren to present, with absolutE: prt::ci!;ion of attack, pP.rf..:ct accuracy of pitch and fairy-like daintiness of tone, a composition which would be difficu lt for maturer students. Miss Mackprang played th e beauliful accompaniment parts with ski II and sympathy. The part of the Piper was taken by Doctor House. At the end of the cantata to his lip!'l again
He laid hi s pipe of cane, And ere he blew thre e no tes, Out the children running, and him from the platfo rm and down the aisles amid hearty applause.
At three o'clock a redtal was given by Louise LeBaron, contralto, anci Walter Wheatley, tenor, with Mr. Mei ssinger, accompanist. These tw o charming si ngers captured the audience with their first numbers. Miss Le Baron's pleasing personality, her respo nsive temperament, her beauty, her sweet warm voice with Hs wonderful range of tone and color, her dramati c interpre tations. and alwve all, her sincet·ity, made us love her from the beginning Mr. Wheatley's lllellow rich, s weet and polished singing was a delight to his hearers. The duets were a _feast of tone color and truly dramatic presentation. We were sorry when the last sweet strains
of Hoffman' s Barcarolle died away, Last autumn when the faculty were considering the presentation of a pageant at commencement time it was debated whether it would not be expedient to do away with the Music Festival this year, and devote the energies of the school and community towards preparing a pageant only. It is a proof of the vital and significant place the music Festival is beginning to hold in our lives that the faculty were unwilling to dispense with it for even one year.
'Ihe grand concert of the Semicentennial· Festival, at eight o'clock in the constituted undoubtedly the most brilliant and varied program that has been given at any Peru Festival. Numbers were given by the chorus, two glee clubs, and all the artists. Dr. House showed hi s ability to product! remarkable and wirlely varying effects with his chorus and glee clubs. Mr Wheatley's rendering of the Boheme Aria was marvelously sweet and ri ch ly colo red. ML Pease again captured hi s audience with bis big human personality, his humor and his son.R"s that came from the heart. Miss Le Baron in the Prison Scene from Le Prophete delighted us as in the afternoon. 'Iwo numbers by the West Sisters' String Quartet were rendered with delicacy, precision, and delightful coloring. Mr. Carberry pleased bis aurlience very much, and was forced to sing two encores.
Mr. Pease and Mr. House sang a duet, "The Fishermen," which they were obliged to repeat for the benefit of the delighted audience. Madam Eden's brilliant, marvelously trained voice charmed us, especially in "A Pastorale," in which the echo effects and the (Continut>d on Fourth P:tgt!.)
