To Dr. Howard and Mrs. Joy, the first class to graduate from the Peru State Normal, we the fiftieth class, respectfully dedicate the 19 20 Peruvian.

To George Elliott Howard and Anna Morehead Joy Why a Colden Anniversary? Fifty years ago a young la d and maiden completed the required work and received their diplomas from Peru. The graduation of these two is insi g nifi ca nt co mpared with the gradua tion of over three thousa nd since that time. Yet we celebrate and dedicate to their honor - wh y? Not because of the number, not because of the event, but because these two lives h ave b een consecrated a nd devoted to th e golden service of education. George E. Howard and A nna Morehea d were the first two to rece1ve diplomas from a ny higher educational institution in Nebraska. On commencement day in 18 70, under the shade of a group of small oaks on the campus where now the great boulder marks the spot, th ese two young people delivered their oration s and were presented their diplomas by Hon. S. P. Majors. It is a n impressive fact that fifty years afterward, in 1920, there should be fifty times as many graduates to be g iven their d iplomas by Hon. T. ] . Majors, son of this same S. P. Majors. Little did the faculty and friends, led by Dr. and Mrs. M cKenzie, in congratula tin g these two young people, a pprec iate the fact that the young man, Howard, should in time become one of America's greatest educators, leader of thoug ht among the nation's most learned scholar s. Truly his life has been fifty go lden yea rs of service. Yet, the one who stood by his side on that graduation day, too h as given one-half century of service. Anna Morehea d served well her native state as a teacher for a few years after graduation, and then as Anna Morehead ] oy, gave that golden service of wife and mother. She reare d a family of five, who, in turn are now giving trained service to their country. The early standards and training of these pioneer days so indelibly stamped the fear of God in the life of the school, that it h as become the potent, as well as the fundamental policy of Peru. Each class, since 18 70, h as maintained the high standards of scholarship, morality and spirituality set by this first graduating class. The faculty today, led by our President, E. L. Rouse, stands for right, for righteousness sake, as did the faculty of 18 70, led by that father of education, President J. M. M c Kenzie. Fifty years- go lden y ears of history for Peru-have passed, yet never h as the banner of truth trailed the dust nor th e hi gh ideals set by this ~lass of 18 70 been lowered. But each year has this spirit grown richer and ncher until now, thr oughout the state and nation, our beloved institution is known, not only by its stately buildings, nor by its three thousand or more graduate~颅 the pride of Nebraska-but especially is it known as an institution of htgh ideals where predominates that l ove and service so familiarly known as the Peru Spirit. The class of 19 20, in dedicating the Peruvian Volume Xlll to Georg~ Elliott Howard and An~a Morehe~~ J oy, on t~e Golden Anniversary of thetr g r aduation, does so in JUSt recogmtlon of theu fifty years of Golden servtce.

Anna Morehead ] oy Having reached that p e riod when p eople are spo k e n of as living in the past, it is rather pleasa nt to have our youn g friends as k u s f o r some of those r e mm1scen ces. After several yea rs of perso n a l experi ence rig ht her e, then seeing broth ers, sis ters, cousins, and lastly fiv e of my own c hildren e ducate d in this school, I would naturally have some experie n ces o f inte r est t o s tudents of th e present time. This sc hool, as you a ll know , was establish e d as a c hurc h school. a nd I am g lad to say that in a ll these fifty-three years, h as lived up t o th e hi g h moral standard set a t that time. The only m a rk I ever h ad again s t my co nduc t was for goin g walking one Sunday a ft e rno o n w ith my roommat e, on th e road west of t o wn, w h ere we called on a family we were ac qu a inted with . A nother thing that Professor M c Kenz ie instille d into u s, was to nev e r say can't, but to do whatever we undertook. This was brought up v e ry vivid ly to me three years ago w hen h e was telling of the troubles we h a d w ith the first o ld bell. H e wanted it run g at h a lf past five for u s to get up and go to s tudying. The b oy or man tha t was to do it was sometimes a little la t e, so my room m ate, Emma Brooke, volunteered to do it for a w hile. The very n ext morning when she a ttempted to rin g it, the rope was cove red with sl eet and fro zen fast, so sh e climbed up on a ladde r throu gh the a ttic a nd out on the roof and rang the b e ll. When sh e told me, I said, "Why that was a very dangerous thin g to do." " I know it," sh e said, "but I wasn't goin g to fa il, espec ia lly the v e ry first morning when I was expected t o do it." M a y the n e xt fifty year s mark a n even g r eater a dv a n cement than the last have done.

DR. HOWARD

Greetings to the Class of 1920 Your Class-Sponsor, Professor Jea n, has ex t ended t o me your g r ac ious co n g ratul a tions a nd your re qu est for a brief message out of my h alf-century' s experience since g ra duatin g a t the P e ru No rma l.. Accept my warmest th a nks and a n e xpression of my dee p r egret th a t in bodily as well as in sp ir itua l prese n ce I m a y not s hare in y o u r fes ta l hour. I salute you a lmost with a feeling of e nvy, eve n of aw e; for in my v ision I am ab le to p e rc e ive, a t l east in shadowy outline, the rich experiences, the g r eat achievem e nts whic h s ure ly a wait you to gether with the hos t of other teac hers who tod a y throu g hout th e la nd a r e c ommencing th e next half-century 's task. Grea t indeed h as bee n th e prog ress in American life and especially in Ame rica n e ducation since in 1 8 70 my classmate a nd I rea d our themes and r eceived our diplomas und e r the spreading branches of th e trees whi c h th e n g rew n ea r where the library building now stands. In that same year l began to t each ; a nd e v er s ince, save for a p a u se of six y ears ( 1872-1878) while equipping myself by further s tudy, t eachin g h as been my profession. To m e th e teach e r' s life h as bee n full and satisfying . It is a life rich in s piritua l if not a lways in t e mporal gains. At its b est, is not the teac her's fun c tion the b asic so c ia l service? It is a m a ny -side d service. During the plas tic y ears of youth, it is the t each er's hand , some tim es e v en more pote ntly than the hand of the parent, w hic h g ives the first ' 'set" or mould to perso n a lity. From the kinderga rten to the univers ity it is within the teac h er's power to a id c hiefly in pre p a rin g the c hild e ither for g ood or for bad citizenship . The public scho o l, like the public normal a nd th e public university, should be the semina r of d e mocracy. Thus far socie ty h as fail ed to evalua te jus tly the t each er' s service. Rel ative ly in e very g ra d e or rank the teacher h as been underpaid. A t this moment th ousands of men a nd women a re quitting the profession for better paid employments. The crisis is paradoxica l; for neve r , seeming ly, has the r e been disclosed in A merica such a d e m and for e duca tion as now. Due in p art to the Great W a r, a t last we are comin g to h ave a clearer und erst a nding of the r eal value of the trained mind. So l say. to you, do not a bandon the teac hing profession. I feel sure that a prosperous futur e awaits it. Enfranchised womanhood will not much longer suffer itself t o be exploite d for mea ger pay. Wome n h a ve h a d n early a monopoly of public schoo l te achin g ; and they h ave don e th e ir work efficiently and zea lously. When their possession of the ballot sh a ll have blotted out the sex-line politica lly and therefore economically, may w e not expect men a nd women more evenly than now to sh a r e in the profession which, directly or indirectly, should h ave as its goal the preparation of human beings for the duties of good citize nship? Onward, then , with high courage t o share th e great d estiny which awaits the true American t each e r! Yours frate rn a lly, GEORGE ELLIOTT HOWARD.

Man Weighing the steadfastness and '!tate Of some mean things which here beio w reside, Where birds, like watchful clocks, the noiseless date And intercourse of times divide, Where bees at night get home and hive, and flow e rs, Early as well as late, Rise with the sun, and set in the same bowers; I would, said I, my God would give The staidness of these things to man! for these To His divine appointments ever cleave, And no new business breaks their peace; The birds nor sow nor reap, yet sup and dine, The flowers without clothes li ve, Yet Solomon was never dressed so fine. Man hath still either toys, or care; He hath no root, nor to one place is tied, But ever restless and irregular About this earth doth run and ride; He knows he hath a home but scarce knows where; He says it is so far, That he hath quite forgot how to go there.

He knocks at all路 doors, strays and roams, Nay, hath not so much wit as s ome s tones have, Which in the darkest nights point to their homes By some hid sense their Maker gave; Man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest And passage through these looms God ordered motion, but ordained no rest. -HENRY VAUGHAN.

By a ge nerous increase in salaries, Nebraska has give n just recogmtlon to the profession into which the class of 19 20 is to enter S eptemb e r first. The n ew sala ry schedules g ive due consid e rati o n to normal schoo l gradua tes a nd hold e r s of d eg rees. I a m sure each member of this class will ea rn m ore than s h e r eceives . The re will n e ver b e a time whe n one who e l ects to follow teaching as a profession wi ll not have to give up certain m a t eria l rewa rds. This will b e tru e even w ith th e new salary sch e dules. The r e will be spiritua l rewa rds tha t far more th a n offse t th e financial returns of o th er professions. Your opportunity to vita lize the youth durin g their impressionabl e yea rs is immeasurab le. M a k e th e most of it. Never was there suc h a dem and for trained, conscientious t eac h ers as there is tod ay. W. C. Bagley puts it thus: ''Western c ivilization h a n gs tod ay in th e b a lance. Every gain tha t th e r ace h as m a d e is threatened with destruction. Only a thin li ne separat es F r anee a n d England a nd Ita ly from the menace of b a rb a rism. Upon our Natio n m ay devolve the resp o nsibility of keeping th e torch a fl a m e. Upon th e trained inte lligence, th e clarifi ed ins ig ht an d th e disciplined wi ll of our p eople, in a ll likelihood, wi ll depend the fate of th e wo rld in the decades that a r e to come. First, last and a ll th e t ime it is an e ducationa l problem. It is your proble m an d my problem; your duty a nd my duty. At no time in the history of o ur profession h as the n eed for devoted, co nsec rated, a nd unite d actio n b een so imp erative as it is today. L et u s stand with unbroke n r a nks a nd see the b at tle throu g h to g lorious victory. " The s uffrage franchise which wi ll doubtless come to th e women o f the class thi s yea r will g ive you a dded prestige. You may h ave g r eat influence i n every community amon g the newly e nfra n c hised women. Make a s tudy of the duties a nd o bliga tion s d evolvin g upon you by thi s privil ege, that you may l ead in your community. You must l ay aside a ll party prejudices a nd pol itical biases. Meet the c hildre n a nd the patrons upon the broad p lat form of servi ce to the co untry a nd the world. With every assura n ce that each membe r of thi s class will be a worthy c hild of your b e loved A lma M a ter, and with confidence tha t each of you will m easure up to the hig h ideals of P e ruv ia n s, I wish each o f you a successful a nd a h a ppy first year in the pro fess io n. Cordially yours, E.

MARY AGNES TYNON "She hath done what s he cou ld ." Nineteen hundred yea r s ago, in a home in Bethany, these s imp l e words o f com mendation were spoken to a woman, and the prophecy was uttered that throu ghout the whole wor ld that which s he h ad done would be spoken o f for a memoria l of h er. This woman brought precious and costly o i ntm en t a nd poured it over the h ead of h er Lord that s h e might s how h e r love for Him. M ary Ag n es T ynon gave a life frag r a nt wi th courte~y. sincerity, and unselfishness, thus un consciousl y showing her love for those s he served . For fourteen years, students and faculty members have go n e out from the Peru No rma l Library, some of th em to the ends of the e a rth, carrying with th em recollections of the quiet h e lpfu lness of this faithful wo rker. Could they add their testimony to ours, it would probably be that no more fitting memorial could be sugges t e d {or her than these words w hi c h have come d own to u s through the ages, "S h e h at h done w hat she c ou l d." H e r friends deemed it a r a r e privilege to know intimatel y a cho.racter so sweet, so gentle, and so lovable. H er w hole life was such a b eautiful influ ence tha t it is difficult to c hoose a few c hara cteristics of which to speak, but those who kn ew her b est wi ll n ever forget these two-her c hildlike faith in huma nity and h e r j oy in service. Unkind words or unjust crit icisms always g rieved h er. A life lon g h abit of lookin g for the goo d only h ad developed a swee t c h arity which made h e r blind to th e fault s and ke e nly apprecia tive o f t h e virtues o f ot h e rs. And you whom s h e serv ed, you realized that you were never turned away with a request unans wered, but you could not know, as some of u s knew, how cheerfully s he se r ved you, giving of h er tim e and str ength, r egard l ess of persona l sacrifi ce . Her hom e had a lways b een in P eru, among the hills, ce d a r s, and r ed bird s which s h e loved so wel l. Even in the la s t sl eep, nature sm iles upon h e r quiet resting pla ce o n Mt. Ve rn o n Hill. A cedar tr ee stands se ntine l over h er g r ave . Who can say but the r ed birds w ill build the ir nests in its welcome space a nd send forth their melodious notes from its topmos t branches? A tru e a nd faithful fri e nd h as gon e, but memories of h er w ill come back t o u s in the lives that have been en ri c h ed a nd e nnobl ed because s h e dwelt amo n g u s . "She hath done what s h e could."

If each member of this class will serv e h e r day and gen eration as com:cientiously and h e lpfully as did Mr. C l e mmons, she will make for hers elf a record of which h er friends will be proud.

PERU PROFESSIONAL PREPA R ATION The teac hing profession is a new professio n a nd is fast takin g its place s ide by side with the other professions w hic h h ave h ad long standing. In I 8 70 when Peru h e ld her first g radua ting exercise, two trained teachers began their career s. One of those two is still in the profession an d is truly a profess iona l teacher. Peru was one of the pioneer institutions which s tood boldly for requirin g a teacher to be trained for his work the sam e as a lawyer is trained for his work. Our institution was many years ahead of most colleges and Unive rsities in the matter o f training teac hers. At the present time , the Universitie s are awakening to the great importa nc e of t eachers' tra ining. The total number of g ra duates from Peru has passed the three thousand mark and is going rapid ly toward the four thousand. The r e is scarcely a town in Nebras k a but what h as or has h ad the benefit of Peru trained t each e rs in their schools.

F. C. JEAN Senior Adviser

Class Dismissed . C lass dismissed. We h ave now come to the parting of the ways. Since th1 s class matriculated two years ago the world has passed through changes fa r -reaching a nd fundamental. A n internationa l conflict has been settled a nd the s~pr e macy of rig ht ove r mi g ht r ea ffirmed; a league of nations has been estab lis h ed a lthoug h unhappily with r e la tion to it, our government still hesitates and lingers; in many cou nt ries the interrelation of socia l gro ups has become an acu t e problem an d soviet adherents h ave promoted their propaganda a lmos t everywher e. In our own co untry prohibition h as been esta blishe d as a national policy; woman h as take n her place beside man at the ballot box and through her e nfra n c hisement a new and potent factor has entered American politics, and during th e period of your tra ining an almost complete rev olution in the a ttitude of the public toward the teacher has taken place. It has come to r ecog nize in the t eac h er and the school the most powerful of Americanizing for ces a nd h as raised sa laries a nd inc reased school budgets commensurately. These c h anges h ave come so fas t and have been so sweepi n g that society h as not yet been ab le to readjust itse lf. Governments and peoples, organizations a nd inst itutions are still in a tra n sie nt and unsettled s t a te. The old order has been overthrown but the new h as not yet been established. We are in a flu x bet ween the two. Into th ese s tran ge and perplexing co n d itions the members of the class of '20 must make their debut. Wonderful opportunity! Staggering responsibility! How sh a ll the issu e be successfully met? For the past two years you h ave been in l eague with the State prepa~i.ng for this very h o ur. Yo u h ave d evoted your time, your energy, and your ab ility to th e process of increasing your powe r, enriching yo ur lives a nd gaini n g a professional knowl edge of your tasks to be. The Commonwealth h as spe nt ~ h ousand s of dollars to g ive you this oppo rtunity and now hopefully a nd trustm g ly beckons yo u to come to her aid in the great, stupendo u s probl ems of r econstru ction. Now arises wit h tellin g force to the members of the Class, th e sobering question, "How a m I to meet t h e situ a ticn? Through what personal c h annels ca n I bring this n ewly acquired power to bear upon the problems of school. socie ty, and government?.. If your Sponsor may be permitted to speak to you as a class f o r the last time, it would be to say, th a t in his opinion there are three co n sideratio n s that n ow become transcendent to the individua l. They are h is power to th ink, his ideals, and his cour age. Straight, unconfused thinking is ind ispen sable. The school s and society need thinke r s; men a nd women who ca n lo o k n e w s ituations s traight in the fa ce, see all sides of them and ar n ve a t clear, assuring decisions as a basis of act ion. Likew ise, no life ca n be potent in society unless its expression be domi nated by unswerving idea ls; ideals th a t recognize every man's claim to cons id e r at ion and a square deal; that c urb selfis hness both in action and desire a nd

!A N

above everything else th at are m otivated a nd s prin g fr om a c a l m. un c o rnprom ising, serene faith in Cod. V an Dyke h as ex pressed m y th o u g ht b ea utifully in this stanza: "Four thin gs a m a n mu s t lea rn t o do lf h e would make his r eco rd tru e : To think without confus io n c l ea rl y ; To love his fe ll ow m a n s ince r e ly; To ac t from hones t motives pure ly; To trus t in God a nd Heave n sec ur e l y. " But high id eals and ke e n inte ll ec ts a l one a r c n o t adeq u a t e t o th e d e mands of this period. It tak es co urage, too, t o be a lea de r ; co urage t o ac t o n one's own decisions; courage to go east wh e n th e thou g htl ess c r owd s ur ges w es t; the fortitude to m eet defeat a nd th en to try aga in; th e intre pid it y t o loo k a m a n squarely in the face a nd calmly disagr ee with him; th e d a rin g t o fi g ht if the occasion d em a nds it. L o n g fe ll ow puts it in th ese w ords: "Write on your doors th e sayin g wise a nd o ld . 'B e bold I be bold!' a nd everyw h e r e 'B e bold; Be not too bold.' Yet bette r th e excess Than the defect ; b e tter th e mor e th a n less; Bette r like H ecto r o n th e field t o di e, Tha n like a p e rfume d P a ris turn a nd fly." As you go forth to your tasks the v e ry b es t wi s h es o f your A lm a M ate r will a ccompany you. We s h a ll s tay h ere and labo r o n, but w e s h a ll miss y o u. As we work, we shall think of you and eve r k e e p o ur e y e o n th e h o ri zo n for sight of the messe nger th a t shall brin g u s th e good n e ws of your s u ccess.

Juniors When you're up , you're up; When you're down, you're down; When you' re up against the Juniors You're upside down! The Junior class is a concrete example of quality ra ther than qu a ntity. Althoug h there w ere only about seventy of us, shortly after school w as well beg un, we held a get -acquainted party, and y o u may be s ure we go t acqua inted, too. As a result of this event, the following corps of leaders was c hosen: "Shorty" Huffer, president; Mona Keith , secretary; Paul Bennett, treasurer; Esther Delzell, chairman of the Prog ra m Committee. Extremely satisfactory work h as been done by these officers, with th e a id o f the e ntire class. But rememb e r- all work and no pla y m akes J ac k a dull boy. In o rder to offset o ur stre nuous duties, we h a ve added several p a rties, a number of picnics, and a big Juni o r-Senior Banquet, not to mention a Junior-Senior g irls' bas ket ball game; we did not get the big end of the score, but we did secure a lovely, f e lt, Senior p e nnant, which, we a re prone to believe, is s till in cold storage! Great pla ns are in process of b e ing "put acr oss" to make our Senior ye a r the b est the old sch o ol h as ever known. Who knows? Drea m s often c ome true ! As one move towa rd this, the class is sending out a n a ppeal to all who a re eligible, to secure a chapel seat in the Senior section for next y ea r, a nd expand our ranks to one hundred s ixty stron g. Here's to the class of 路 2 I, a nd the glory of old Peru I

Coach Speer Early last fall the prospects for a successful football season l ooked very d a rk for old P eru from the fact that the outlook for a l arge e nrollment of boys w as anythin g but favo rab le. N o r h ad the appointment of a coach been made up t o this time. But one d ay s h or tly before the opening o f sc h ool o ur President announced that h e h a d obtained W. G . Speer from the. Kansas State Agri cultural Coll ege a nd that he was one of the best a thl etic coaches in th e middle w est. S p e e r was a favorite player of Coac h Mik e Ahearn at M anh attan , Kansas. He played one year of freshma n footb a ll, a nd three years of v a r s i t y football und e r him. In the fall of 1908- 1909 , h e succeeded in winning a birth on th e a ll Missouri eleven. H e h as a lso played four years of varsity b aseb a ll and one year of varsity basketball. In the fall of 1911 he was assista nt football coach und er Ahearn, havin g c h arge o f the b ackfield . Mr. Speer came to Peru with a wide reputation as a coach and th e opening of school found him at his post hard at work. He set out to accomplish two things ; first to put out a winning football team and second to win the confidence of old P e ru. H e su cceeded admirab ly in both of these undertakings and it was not long before "Bunt" was a n admired friend of every m a n in Peru. Through his patience and persistent e fforts he soon had e v ery cylinder of his "pep m achine" working in fine sh ape and on October 3 he ra n his machine out on the g ridiron a nd tuned up the motor prepara tory to his st arting on th e race for st a te c h ampionship. During the first lap of the race th e cylinders were a little s tiff but before the second la p of the r ace was over everything was working in excellent shape. Although at th e end of the r ace we were third in the confe rence yet taking all of the difficulties into con sideration under which Coach was forced to work, h e certainly had a victorious and highly su ccessful season. He put old Peru on the map this year and next fall we feel sure that h e will let the whole wide world know who Peru is a nd for what she stands. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Speer for his excelle nt work in athletics this year and we wish him muc h success in his work in the future, and we feel as"sured that "Old Peru" will walk away with the championship the coming season .

Leon Roettger Capt a in Leon, commonly called " Fun ny," was a good st r ong player. Although playi n g a n ew position at ce nter, h e handled th e place with much c r ed it. Being in a position to talk to his n ew men in the line made him all the more valua ble in this po s ition. H e m ade h is lette r in 1917, wa s in c harge o f a thl eti cs at the school in I 91 8, a nd as ''Capta in" and a player this yea r k ep t his t eam to gether con s i sten tly; was a lways o ut t o practice amon g the first, working h ard to help build u p th e t eam. A good dea l o f credit is due "Capt ain" Ro e ttge r for the s ple nd id record a nd success of the t ea m of 1919.

Charles Gately First Y ear on T eam: Jr. Quarter Back "Chuck," as we called him on t h e g r :d iron, not only has ability t o pilot the team in excel lent form, but is a s h ifty, classy little p layer a t pa ssin g and ca rry in g t h e ball. Some ot h is long runs were as clever as hav e eve r been seen on the Peru gridiron. His unusu al ability t o handle the team in p in c h es, his excellent d e fensive work and the e nviable ab!l'ty as a player ea rne d for him h is uncha llenged position as Q . B. on the All-State t ea m.

Benesch Guard

It i s the "bulldog" d e t e rmina tion a nd "pep" tha t has distin gui s hed him as a footb a ll pla y e r a nd put him on the All-State t eam . We are all proud of Benesch and thought it only jus t when he was chosen o n the All-State team.

Waldo Rasch Firs t Year on Team: Jr. "Ca p tai n" Elect 1920 Full Back Wal do, our " Flyin g Dutchman , " was the fastest ma n o n the t ea m a nd a b ea r on de fense. Though he was not gra n ted this honor, h e was valuabl e enough to our t eam, and h ad the necessa r y qualifications for position o n the A ll State t eam. He ca rried the ball m o r e yards for Peru tha n any o ther player, some of h is lo n g runs being sensations of the season. At backing up the lines a n d ends h e h as no equal.

Sharrar End Known on the foo t ball field as "Fra n k , " h e made a s plendid record in footba ll. He s lips down the field into vacant places, and receiving forward pass is gon e fo r a touch dow n . Frank is a J unior. H e will remain another year with u s.

Prante Half Back Prante is a n ew man fo r Peru and h as won a war m p la ce in the hea r t of eve ry Peruv ia n. Prante n ever mi ssed a n i g h t's prac ti ce and is a firm be liever in tra ining. Prante grad uat es this year.

. PÂŁBJLYIA N

Copenhaver Tackle "Cope" was a heady, consistent player. He was always breaking throu g h the line and stopping his opponents' plays. His bulldog tenacity made him the football player that he was. "Cope" decided to become a pedagogue.

Shaver Tack le Shaver is a tackle for su re. He could always make holes in the line for the ball and wae a lways playing hard. Shaver left u s to take up o ther duties of a more serious nature. We all wish h im success in h is new work.

"Dad" Cottle Guard "Dad" Cottle was a b ra iny and reliab le player. His weight streng thened the line, and helped to op e n up holes for the back field. He is a senior, so hi s football days are ove r.

19':20

E. Rosenquist Half- Back "Rasey" was a good m a n in hi s pos1hon, was good ~rou nd gainer, r ece ived passes well, and s h owed ab'lity to analyze th e gam e. He h as one more year for Peru.

Higgins Guard "Higg" was a lways t h ere with t h e fight, and was n o t afraid to h a nd it to oth e r s. He, with Cent er and Tack le on eith er s ide, was invincible. "Higg" could be d epended upo n t o s t op every thin g that came his way. T he t eam n ex t fa ll will find "Hi gg" one of its " s t a rs."

Fisher E nd Fisher, a nother n ew man w ho s howed unu s ual ability at end. His specia l ty was san d, and l ots o f it . He w ill come b ack nex t year to reinforce the t ea m.

Standley End Standley, another new man, d id some remarkable work for the team, particularly in breaking up end runs. He was fast and played a consistent game. He h as three more years to play for Peru.

Chase Half-Back C hase, another n ew m a n, sma ll, yet a fi g hter, s howed talent in carrying the pigskin. He was steady, eager to get into the game and played well.

The day was hot and sultry, making it difficult for consecutive playing. While we had a few players with experience most of the Peru line-up felt their first real bumps and tasted their first football. Captain Roettger, Copenhaver, Sharar, Rasc h and Gately led the team's play on defense, R asch a nd Gately making several brilliant runs for Peru's scores. MIDLAND GAME The Midland game was hotly contested throughout. Two well executed passes, Gately to Sharar, beat Midland, while the stubborn defense of the line backed up by Rasch saved it at critical times. The game was marked by roug h play. WESLEYAN GAME The Wesleyan game was hard fought to the last whistle. While t he heavy Wesleyan line and fast backfield took advantage of some breaks by the Peru boys for th eir scores, the same e rrors in a ny oth er games p layed would not have cost us the game. K EARNEY GAME Kearney was completely outclassed in a ll departments of th e game. Copenh aver, Roettger a nd Sharar starred in this game on defense, w hile the Gately-Rasch scorin g combination piled u p a score of 26 to 0 . DOANE GAME

If there is such a thin g as a team being in a slump or in a row of hard luck, Peru certainly had its day a t Doane in this contest. Peru worked the ball up easily each time, ready to sco re five times and something invariably happened. Doane slipped a sco re across on their only one c hance in the last minute of play. Perhaps a little overc onfidence on the p a rt of Peru boys helped the Doanites. WAYNE GAME This was one of the best games of the season. While Wayne had no chance to score they gave the Peruvians a stiff battle. Through the clever work of our backfield and ends we worked over two touchd own s for the victory. COTNER GAME Though played on a wet field and with a cold, brisk wind, this gam e was full of good play. Peru's line was a ston ewall with t h e ends doing some stellar work on defense. T he thrills of the game were long runs by Rasch a nd · Gately through a broken field to to u chd owns. The season on the whole was a grand success. The men, though most o f them new at the game, had the o ld Peruvian spirit, were e a ger to learn and with p lenty of natural ability, developed into a spl endid team, as w as shown by their excelle nt work at the end of th e season.

Basketball Season The results of the 1920 basketball team were very gratifying, considering a ll the men were playing their first year of college ball. The men began working out sh ortly after football season was over. The coach sent the m en home for the holidays, with the knowledge in his mind that only h ard work would g ive results this season . The first of the year brought b ack the players and a n ew spirit came with them. Syracuse A. A. team came a long for a tussle, to work the Peru boys out before starting our regular season . P e ru won 2 1 to 1 7. The co nfere n ce season was opened with the mighty Doane Five, a t Crete, the Nebraska c hampions. This game went to the l oss column, 29 to 15. Next came York College and were easily defeated by Peru, 38 to 8 . Then came Ke a rney Normal. one of our big rivals in athletics; took them m to a tune of 28 to 12. To wind up this four-game trip, Peru dropped off for a combat with Cotner University. The team being s lig htly w orn o ut by the long trip, let the opponents off with three-point m a r gin. Cotner 2 1, Peru 1 8. Kearney Normal were n ext to play on local floor ; the gam e r esulted in a romp by P e ru b oys, 32 to 6. The second road trip of the season started with a loss t o Midland College, 23 to 22, in a rou g h and tumbl e game. Wayne Normal paid the n ext tribute to Peru, g iving u s a fast, clean game, 3 4 to 2 1. The Peruvians called upon Dana College, a t Blair, Nebraska , for a 42 to 1 7 v ic t ory. Nebraska W esleyan came into o ur territory for the next contest. This proved to b e the best gam e the P e ru boys put up durin g the season , defeating the Coyotes 2 3 t o 15. N ext o n the h o me prog ra m w as Cotn e r University, who were going at t h eir b est, and after a whirlwind contest th ey o ut-counted us 1 7 to 9. Pra nte, one of our very best players, was injure d during the week and w as not in this game and it w as quite evident that this was t h e r eason for our d efeat. The t eam was more or less broken up b y the l oss o f one or more of the first five p layers being out of the gam e. The third road t r ip was disastrous, with t h e team in bad condition, dropping games t o Wesleyan, 2 0 t o 12, a nd Omah a Unive r sity, 15 to 10. The final contest o f the seaso n was played with Midland College on th e P eruvia n s路 floor. The Peruvia n s, tho u g h m ore or less broken u p by th e withdrawal o f R asch , r eplaced the vacan cy w ith o ur "Shi fty Gat ely " and took r evenge. A la r ge c row d of e nthusiasts turned o ut to see t h e sport as u su a l a nd n o one was disappointe d. Peru boys s tarted o ut with a rus h, play ing Midla nd o ff their feet, winnin g 25 to 15 . The season, considering t he h andicap of a ll n ew material from whic h to build a t eam , was very s u ccessful, though not so victorious as some previou s years. Prospect s f or a splendid team n ext year a r e very g ood, so h e r e路 s ho p ing the 192 1 Peruvians will h ave the opportunity of r ecord ing c h amp ionship history fo r the team n ext y ear.

The Girls' Basketball Tournament w as unique this y ear in th e fact tha t each class in school was represented by a team of players and by t h e hi g h type of p laying which was done. The g irls mas tered difficult passes a n d clever team work, making the game more interesting. The Freshmen team was p a rticul a rly s tron g in team work, working to gether a ll th e time. The cleve r basket shootin g of the S ophomore forward, H a llie Weaver, m a rks the stron gest point in favor of th e Sophomores. The Juniors a nd Seniors were the most evenly m atch ed t eams the school has seen in a long while. The gua rdin g of L e nora Cowell a nd A d a Huff, was parall eled only by that of Elsbeth Roessler a nd Jess ie Sprecher. If the ball ever fe ll into the hands of the forwards there w as sure to be a goal, but it only arrived in the forwards' hands by dint of good team work. The interest created by suc h fine gam es cannot h e lp but live thro u g hout the school year a nd show itself in other s ports, a nd m ake th e g irls feel th e ir sh a r e in all the athletics of school.

Y . M. C. A. The school year s ta rted with a snap this fa ll on a ccount of the influence of the e ig hteen men who h a d the advantage of the confe rence at Estes Park last June. The activities of the year were influenced g reatly by different confe re nces held in this and n e ighboring states. In O c tober we h a d six men and two faculty a t th e York Co nference. W e h a d two delegates a t the big Intern a tion a l Conference a t D es M oines. In Marc h we se nt one delega te to Lincoln to the Stude nt Vo lu nteer Co nve ntion. During this same month w e sent three men (next year路 s officers) a nd one faculty member to the Fremont Confe r e nce. This conference w as a school to prepare them for next year's work as leaders, and from r epo rts the results are excelle nt. The Y. M. C. A. is inte rested not only in its own selfish inter ests, bounded by this campus. When the call came to support S teel e Holcomb, who is going as a missionary to Cairo, Egypt, we responded by sending $100.00. W e h ave h a d m a ny o utst a nding h o m e proj ects this yea r. The firs t, and one of the most significant, is the Older B oys Conference. A t this confere nce th e re w e r e hi g h sch ool boys fro m m a ny of the high schools o f southeast Nebraska. The boys came for two purposes: To have a good time, to b e helped morally a nd sp iritua lly by the inspiratio n of th e g rea t speakers a nd by forum discu ssion. Needless to say they went away satisfied. In this discu ssion of h ome projec ts we must not omit our weekly mee tings. Th ese m eetin gs h ave been a d ecided success. F o ur-minute t a lks b y s tud e nts an d lec tures b y m e mb ers o f the faculty and business m e n , w e re th e outstanding features of th e m eetings. The subj ects of these lectures had t o do with vi t a l w orld problems, su c h as the socia l, political a nd indus tria l proble m s of m o d er n Europe, a nd the important home problems discussed from the point of C hristian democracy. These were " b o iled down" t o a ppeal to s tude nts from a s tudent's v iewpoi n t. Duri ng this busy year the high sch ool boys were n o t forgo tte n . They w ere t a k en car e o f by th e Boys' C ommittee. The duty of the c h a irman of this committee was t o brin g closely together the Y. M. C. A. a nd the "Hi-Y" Club, so that both could work for the common good of the sch ool. The c h a irman h elped the hi g h sch ool b oys plan the ir m eetin gs, a nd specia l cam p a igns for hi g h e r ideals. The cabine t went on h ik es with th e b oys. The influe n ce o f th ese hi kes w as markedly b e n eficial. The work w ith th e hi g h school boys was p erh aps the most impo rtant work of the "Y" this year. A n oth er big mile-s tone in the car eer of the Y. M. C. A . this year was th e p a rt th a t we h ad in the Father and Son Banquet, held in the b asement o f th e M. E. C hurch. M a ny a fath e r a nd son left the b anque t feel ing drawn closer t ogeth e r by an invis ibl e b o nd o f fellowsh ip. A source o f enj oyment a nd o f b e n efi t to a ll h ave been th e j o int m ee tings of the C hrist ian A ssociatio n s of th e sch ool. A t th ese m eetings w e go t down t o bedr oc k . The di sc u ssion was genera l. and a ll le ft th e meetings feeli n g tha t h is c h a n ce to d o good in the world was not entirely e li m inated. About the middle of M a rc h the Inter-church Wor ld T eam came to P e ru. They broug ht a m essage from th e la nds across the sea. They spoke of the wonderfu l oppo rtunities for college gr adu ates in t h ese co untries. A lthough there were ma ny more things we wanted to do, we feel that m a n y we re be n efi ted by the work of the Y. M. C. A . this y ear.

Senior Class Play (Synopsis) Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, Adelaide, formerly Della Sayles, of Missionary Loop, India n a, h as married into the Eng lish aristocracy and h a s now returned to America to engineer the marriage of h er sister, Violet, to Anthony Rawson, the older son of an exclusive and wealthy New York fa mily. If the Rawso n s were to discover that the girls, whom they believe to be de Salles, and of Norman Frenc h origin, a re rea lly d a ughters of Jim Sayles, of Missionary Loop, Indiana-Jim Sayles the patent medicine man-all hope of the marriage would be gone. A difficult situation for Adelaide arises when she finds herself suddenly confronted by Pete Swa llow, to whom she was once engaged. Becomin g suspicious of the de S a lles, Anthony contrives to bring Pete and Adela ide face to face, but Adelaide's acquired English m a nner and native cleverness save her from discovery. Her triumph is short lived, however, for Violet, who does not love Anthony and can no longer endure the deceitfulness which she and her mother a nd sister are practicing, suddenly tells the whole truth. The R awso ns, all but Anthony's brother, Geoffrey, are greatly shocked and refuse to recognize the d e Salles henceforth. Geoffrey now h as a chance to decl a re his love for Violet, who has fallen in love with him instead of with his brother. Although Geoffrey, who has become a ranc hman, is distinctly not in the good g races of his fa mily, Adelaide is rea lly pleased to h ave her little sister happy and considers that this connection with the R awso n s, though not the o n e she p lanned, may still be looked upon as a triumph.

-路Old Buildings in Peru (All Rights Reserved) (By Louise W. Mears, formerly teacher in the Peru Normal School, Department of Geography.) O ld buildings are b ut mute historians unloved and unwelcomed in any It remains f or some "oldest inhab ita nt" to read from them a histo ry of past event s that kindles an d delig hts the imagination. As a c hild, it was my rather stran ge pleasure to listen to th ese tales, as told by the sh oemaker, the carpet-weaver, and the aged citizen "reminiscing" in the snu g warmth of the v illage stor e. I have som e times thought th a t a c hild is indispensable in this world as an open-minded listene r to provide old people with th e unalloyed pleasure of "recollecting." Mine was the never-to-be-fo rgot t e n j oy of listening to th e stories of the villagers who had been to Pike's Peak for go ld, to Utah with the Mormons, or perhaps in Indian or border wars beside the Civi l War. wes~ern village.

A progressive Nebrask a village differs, perhaps for tunately, from the usual New Eng land village in the dispatch with w hich old buildings a re r eplac ed by n ew ones. Of most of the o ld buildin gs in Peru we must say, "They used t o be. " "Time was, ' 路 the golden h ead Irrevocably said; But time which none ca n bind, While fl owing fast, leaves love behind. -From Robt. Louis Stevenson. As one of th e devotees of the past, l think that some o f the old buildin gs h ad marks of beauty t h at their successo rs do not possess. Pre tty col onial c ottages were so m etimes repl ace d by nondescript n ew buildings. But, perh aps l s p ea k thus b ecau se memory has a proneness to soften o utlines, as ivy beautifi es any ruin, o r as a sketch differs from a photog rap h . If we were makin g a s urvey of Peru, how many o ld ho-uses, really oldtim e r s. would we find? Perhap s none in entirety, unless it be th e old mi ll - G r ee n' s Mill- e rected in 18 62 . But p a rts of many h ouses da te back to early days, and their his tory should be recorded. I a m happy to contribute so m e fac ts in this s k e tc h . All of the h omes had small beginnin gs, and as prosperity inc reased a nd fa milies g rew, roo m s were a dd e d, new b asements and second st ories developed. (That is why th ey were rambling struc tures.) On account o f the hilly b uilding sites, hi gh base ments were used as k it c h ens a nd d ining room s. The east e nd of D a vid J ack' s store, facing old M a in Street , was Mr. Barnes" ge nera l merc handise s to re in steamboat d ays. A small room o ff of T. E. Vance's store w as u sed as a class room for the first Normal Sch ool s tud ents. ( H ere is a n appropriat e place for a bronze tablet.) The h ome of D. C. Cole ( Hills of Peru, p. 6 7 ) h as in terestin g histo ric associations. Amon g others, I wo uld mention th ose of Dr. Captolia Graves a nd Mr. Mardis, at th e summit of old Main Street; of Mrs. Sam' ! Cu lbertson, in a g rove of nativ e trees, a nd Professor Birc h , better kn own as Professor D u ncanso n 's h o u se; of Professor M c K enzie, th e first Normal S c h ool president, occupi ed

(Picture 1, Cut No. 204) by Mrs. H ayes; of Professor Williams, a nother of the early school presid ents; of Mrs. Ball, occupied by Professor Brownell; of H. M. Mears (the one-story portion being fifty years old). A residence dating b ack to th e first days of the Normal School is the one then owned by Professor P erry Martin, ad joining the sc hool campu s on the northeast. ( Picture 2, Cut No. 205.)

Jacob Good , founder of the first b a nk m Peru, had a ge nius for restoring and transplanting old houses, as well as trees. He possessed the rare gift of seeing in a n old h ouse its possibilities for continue d usefulness under new environment. When the res idence portion of Peru s hifte d from the plain to the hilltops, homes still in their prime and re a lly beautiful were doomed to decay. A store building that :s still very muc h as it was in 18 70. is that erected

==-...c==~-

and occupied as a drug s tore by John Patterson. It became later, and still is, a variety store, much like Dic kens' O ld Curiosity Shop, now owned by Mrs. Kate Brunsdon (Picture 3, Cut No. 206). When we began to enumera te th e hous es in Peru that are n earing the half-century mark, mos t of them with new parts grafted on, the story g rows like a ball of yarn-always one more strand and then another. It is easy to see why telling a story is called spinnin g a yarn."" I beg the enthusiastic young student of local history to seek out the occ upa nts of these houses, and gather together the threads of the s tory before it is too late. Speaking for myself, I sh a ll co nfess without fear of being misund erstood, that of all Peru's old buildings, other than the Norm a l School, 1 love best the old g rist mill. Some of its early history, when it supplied the staff of life to white m en and India n s, h as been written in the Hills of P e ru, Chapter IV. T h e mill, like a man robb ed of his birthright, seemed to me to say, " H e r e I a m , b uilt st ron g fo r service an d long life I Must 1 waste m y s tre n gth and thwart the plans of my builders? '" Its owner, "Tom Green,'" h as died. S o und s of the Village grow s tiller and stiller, Stiller the n ote of the birds on the hill; Dusty and dim are the eyes of the mille r, D eaf are his ears w ith the moil of the mill. (From Keepsake Mill, Robt. Louis Stevenson.) When H. M. Mea rs bought the building, in 18 79, he la id a st rong hard wood Aoor in the second st ory, co nve rting the room into a "town h all. " Nowadays, when the modern welfare worker a dvances the id ea o f a co mmunity center, 1 think o f that roomy h a ll in the mill , with its home-t a le nt plays, c hurch festiva ls, political ra llies a nd sk a ting rink. It was a r eal o p en forum. V e ry o ften we listen ed to Col. Majors, who never failed to take a n ac tive p a rt in all affairs of local and state governme n t. In this room, wh e n I was a schoo lgirl, I s tood on a b ench t o hear and see t h e young ora tor, Willia m J e nnings Bryan. I can im agine that the early speeches of D a niel Webster a nd Henry Clay must h ave p roduced somewhat the sam e impressio n s on the listene rs. Lest I trespass too far o n the forbearance of my readers, I close with these lines: H e r e we had b est on tip-toe trea d While I for safety m a rch ahead ; F or this is that enchanted g round Where a ll who l oiter slumber sound. (From Historical Asso cia tions, Robt. Louis Stevenson. )

Old Buildings of Brownville Mid g lad g reen miles of tillage And fields where cattle graze, A prosy little v illage You drouse away your days. And yet-a wakeful g lory Clings round you as you doze; One living lyric story Makes music of your prose! - ] . G. Neihardt. Although in these d ays of rush and hurry few p eo ple have a ny time to look backward, a glance now and then into the past mi g ht be a goo d thing.

To the casual visitor, there is nothing about th e village t o s u gges t its past. Here and there some sple ndid building , now fallin g into decay. might a rouse one"s interest; or the stree ts, wide and well laid out, mi g ht ca u se mild c urio sity, but nothing more. It is only when the to ng u e of some ea rly settl e r is loosened by a few tactful questi o n s about th e old d ays, that th e story is lea rn ed: The o ld s teambo at la ndin g, th e immig ra tion, the promise of the s t ate's ca pitol. a nd finally, the fa ilure o f these hopes a nd th e d ecline of the v illage. As proof of its bygone prosperity, Brownville still h as several o ld buil din gs that d a te back to th ese ea rly tim es. P erh a p s the m ost p ict u resque o f these is a n old Catholic church, w h ich stands a ruin, with its gap in g windows a nd r uined c r oss suggesting th e m a ny winters it h as w iths t ood.

' "Fallen columns disintegra t e d w ith tim e Sacred mounds insulted w ith the growth of sco rnful weeds. S hattered arch es h a unted by the lizard a nd the s n a k e ." -Neihardt. Ano the r mute witness of the faith of the e arly pioneers, is a n o l d Baptist c hurc h , built in 1860, whic h in its day se rved both as a h ouse o f worship and as a schoolhouse. This building is still in fa ir co ndition. No less interesting tha n these in its historical associations is the fr a m e h o u se w hich was the home of R obert W. Furnas, N e brask a's s e co nd gover nor.

= - -:.....-..,..-=====

Until a few months ago this h ouse was in the possession of a son of the governor, but has probably been destroyed since c h anging owners. What times it must have passed through I The campaign for governor in 1 8 7 2 was probably full of excitement for Brownville, since both candidates were from this town. During Governor Furnas' administration, Arbo r Day was established, and the first Arbor Day proclamation was given by him.

Perhaps the oldest brick dwe lling in the state is the Atkinson hou se, a s tately old Brownville mansion, nea rly as la rge as Peru" s dis trict school build ing. Althou g h the stones from the arches of its capped windows are fa ll ing from their p laces, the old h ouse still retains traces of its form er dign ity a nd attractiveness. Another old-timer, very similar in its style to this one, is the house, a t one time occupied by the fami ly of Muir, the state's advocate of prohibition. Mr. Muir is now dead.

T h ese two buildings, still imposing in appearance, must have been splendid stru ctures in the rising new Brownville, w hich as years passed they h ave watched crumbl e about the m.

They re present all th a t is now le ft of th e m o r e a ri s to c r a tic homes. Their size and beauty sh ow u s that they were inte nd e d to b e c ity r eside nces, a nd their very pretentiousness m a ke them seem out of place in the ir present s urroundings. Rel ics of pioneer d ays mee t the eyes of the Brownville v1s1tor a t every turn. One of these, now kn own as the P ar k Hote l, is n earing its fiftieth y ea r , a nd was a t firs t a dwe llin g house.

Another which was built b e for e the C ivi l War h as n ow been remodell e d into a bungal ow. Of a bout the sam e age is a brick building w h ose past h as been very eventful, h aving been a t o ne time a saloo n , later a ga mblin g hou se, an d finally a store.

In the immig ra tion perio d , the first legal office w as the land office, a nd B rownville boast e d the first building of this kind in the s t a te. For years this old o ffice was the scene of some rousing activities, and m a ny stories are told of the days of homest eading and pioneering. Perhaps the mo st interesting to u s of these s tories is tha t of the firs t homestead g ra nted in th e United States, which was g ive n from this office. On New Year's Eve, 1862, D a nie l Free m a n , h av in g com e from B eatric e in the hope o f r eceiving the first homestea d, r each e d Brownville. The Homest ead Act did not go into effect until the n ext d ay, but a clerk was persuaded to open the office a few minutes p ast midni ght for Danie l Freeman a lone , and h e became the first homesteader.

Another inte res tin g r e mind e r o f the old d ays is Brownville's cemetery, p e rh aps because of the r est and quiet which pervades the air, p e rha ps because of the trees, or the gray s tones against the green grass. As one read s the worn inscriptions, h e feels only inte rest in what is carved there, and no sadness, for the owners o f the n a m es h a ve depa rted so long since that even those who c h e r ished th eir m e mory a r e past one's recollec tion. just such a cem e t e ry is tha t of Brownville. It is o n a southern slope, and the evergreen trees planted years ago now form a dense sh a d e a nd tower far above the c rumbling 路 g ravest o n es. D oubtless people are becoming more unwilling to ta lk of the m selves than th ey formerly w e r e, or they may be less sentimental. At any rate, one sees no longer the full inscriptions tha t are found on the gravestones of a half century ago. On m a ny of th ese old stones, besides a record of their birth a nd dea th, severa l items con cerning the life of the individual are given. Place of birth, time of coming to America if foreign born, schools a tte nded and wh en:~. time of immig ration to Nebraska -m any such facts are stated by the worn old monume nts. "I see their scattered gravestones glea ming white Through the p a le dusk of the impending nig ht. e r a ll a like the imperial sunset throws Its golden lilies mingled with the r ose; We g ive to each a tend e r thought and p ass Out of th e graveyards with their ta n g led grass. " - Longfellow. To feel the true a tmosp h ere o f the early d ays, one should visi t some of these scen es or talk t o one of t h e o ld settlers. Most o f them a re very willing to go b ack for u s over history of the settlement a nd the fa ilure of their h opes. One of th ese, to whom this d epartment owes muc h of its information, is Dr. Crane, who was raised in Brownville a nd knows th e who le story. H e atte nd e d scho o l in Peru, and was a stud e nt of P r esident M c K e n zie, our first president. Some of his stories were too interesting to go unme ntioned, so they will b e briefly outlined h ere. He t o ld of the firs t two Nebraska state fairs h eld in Brownville. The o ld fa ir grounds have l ong since been t ake n by the Missouri Riv e r . H e h as seen thirteen steamers tie d up a t the Brownville dock a t one time, a nd can rem e mbe r whe n the streets of the village were crowded with ox-drawn prairie sch oo ners bound westward. A h a lf century or more has passed s ince these scen es took place, and only a few are found who r ecall th em. Who will be left a fter fifty more years that either knows or feels in terest in th em? The o ld la ndmarks are rapidly disappea rin g, and perha ps another decade will see th e last of them. "The monuments of mortals Are as th e g lory of the g rass; Throug h Tim e' s dim portals A voiceless, viewless wind doth pass, The bloss oms fa ll before it in a day, The forest monarchs year by year d ecay , And man's g r eat buildings slowly fade away." - V a n Dyke.

Senior Dignity No, you would never have recog nize d it as a Senior p a r ty, if you had been at the old "Gym" on January I 7th, for a ll cares, including eve n practice t eaching , were forgotten in three hours of glorious fun. It was a n old fas hioned hard-times~ party, with informal games and e ats to fit the occasion. Tha nks a h undred fold to Miss McAuley and Miss Grimes for s uch dandy entertainm ent. : After an hour of merriment, "everybody" shouted "Movies!" so away we marc hed downtown to the thea tre to see Mary Pic kfo rd m " The Hoodlum... If the townspeople had not hea rd before that the Seniors were "out for a time, .. the y could not fail to di scove r it from the hea rty songs a nd y e lls. It was with no unpleasa nt sen sation with which we partook of th e treats proffered us by the various b u siness men in res ponse to our ''Fifteen Rahs J" for each of them. It cannot be denied that Miss Sears and Mr. M a t e jovsky a re exce llent entertainers; a nd what about Mr. Pra nte? Well, still in our ra gs and tags, we entered the theatre and enjoyed a good show, and at the close, it w as with re luc ta n ce that we d e p a rte d for hom e a t even so late an hour.

Senior-Sophomore Party Friday, September 19th, th e Seniors e nterta ined the Sophomores at a weinie roast in the woods a bout two miles so utheas t of town. After a brisk walk the two parties reach e d the scene of action whe r e they found a fire h a d a lready bee n b uilt by some of the gentle men of the crowd . As it was late when the y arrived, preparations for the "feed" were mad e at o n ce. T hi s co n sis t ed o f wienies, buns, pickles, hot co ffee w ith milk, marshmallows a nd ba nan as. After r e freshme nts, severa l brig ht classm e n e nterta ined th e r est with well- told funny st o ri es. E ven th e two class advisers w e re m a de to sh ow their skill a long thi s line. W h e n the fire died down the c rowd gathere d around the coal s a nd sa n g popular so n gs, finishing with the " Color Song." Then aft e r a n exchan ge o f yells b y th e two classes, g uests a nd hosts respec tively they started for h ome, each class w ith a feeling of g reate r comrad eship for the o ther.

The Training School Party The F acuity members 路 of the Training School entertained the Seniors on Saturday night, March 6, 1920. The party was held in the T . ]. Majors building, th e in terior of wh ich had been transformed to represent an old colonial mansion. At the entr ance, a dignified negro butler directed us to register and pass upstairs. At the first landing we d eposi ted our cards in the plate extended to us by another of those dusky, dutiful servants. On the second floor two dainty flo wer maidens directed us in disposing of o ur wraps and presented us with programs of the evening's entertainment which was as follows:

Tutti Salute Hurdy C urdy T. ] . Major Mode Be Sharp Major Premiere "Natural Tonic" key Every One That Thirsteth 20th Century Suites (Sweets) Flower (Flour) Song

Hymn of Praise Suspension a nd Dissolution Beat it Yours, Phor Phun. This program itself is truly most unique from a musician's standpoint. To him every bit is familia r through associatio ns in memory or h e reca lls it on the pages of his musical dictionary, a t least. Did you reflect upon your knowledge of the Ben Greet players as you read your program afte r passing the receiving line?

Didn't you conceive the Hurdy Curdy to be quite as interes ting and spectacular in its way as th e Denver municipal pipe organ? For instance, l et us $ay. And its music contrihnted in no small part to our deli g ht. Prof. Beck, in his u sual good form. conducted th e Didactic Exercises. 'tnd Miss Lillian Olson, "a Senior ~rave a nd wise," won th e diploma because luck was with her and she knows the nice distinction in the u se o f "have" and "got." You understand now the aporopriate significance of: Tarantella (tear and tell) B Sharp Major, which followed at this point, do you not'? The biggest number, no doubt, of the "Liszt of Symphonies" was th e Anthology of Popular Songs. The company was divid e d into six g roups. each of which dramatized one nf the following songs: "Comin' Thru the Rve." "Home. Sweet Home." "Seein~ Nellie Home." "Music in the Air." "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag." "Yankee Doodle." When these six son gs were sung by the ~roup leaders in the ''Natural Tonic" key. honestly now, could you recognize the song, not to so mu c h al> mention the key? During the Minue t (me an u et) were n't we delig hted with those dainty delicious refreshments? Didn't those 20th Century Suites sing charmir;gly in La Serenata ?

F.ve~body enjoyed Corps de Ba llet, Flower (Flour) Son j?. didn't they';\ And they p layed a nd sang it just as the y used to do wl>~n fi.rgt they began going t o parties. The Peru Color Song lends itself most beautifully t.n an occasiOn of this kind as a Hymn of Praise . .S!.lspension and dissolution, the u su al features of Ro harmonious a cornposition as this, brought the evening of enjoyment and entertainment to a most nti:mg and appropriate finale. We Seniors have no words with which to express our full appreciation of such a pleasureable affair, but it will r e main in our memories among the foremost of the very d e lightful events of the school year af 19 20.
