Our College For a decade there has been a g radua l tra ns formation of Norma l Sch ools into Teac he rs' Co lleges. On January l more th an 50 of th e 180 No rma l Sch oo ls in th e United S tales had a llainecl thi:' di :::tincti on. The Neb raska No rma l Sch oo ls have b een gradu a l ly moving in th i,- d irection for severa l years. On i\Iarch 25, GoYernor Samuel IL ~ lcK e h路 i e s igned th e bill whi ch lega l ized this change. T he b ill h ad passed both H o uses o f th e Legis latu re unanimou:>ly. The law JHO\路ides that stu dents wh o compl ete th e fouc year coll egiate co urse ::-h a ll be g ra nted Bachelor o f Arts degrees and shall be know n as grad ua tes of th e Neb raska Stale T eachers' Coll ege. The new p la n does not e li m ina te the old ad va nced course. but g ives it its proper name, th e two yea r co llegia te co urse. One comp letin g suc h work wi ll be g iYe n a d ip loma wh ich i;; a three yea r certi ficate a nd beco mes a life certifica te afte r two years 路 experience. Doubtless this b ri efer co ur;;e wi ll be the popu lar one fo r years. The four yea r course makes it possible fo r students to rema in in their own sch ool a nd p repa re for any public schoo l po ition in Nebraska. One completing th is course wi ll be g ranted in add iti on to h is A. B. degree a U ni vers ity certifi cate a uth orizing hi m to teach in a ny l ebraska hig h school. The next cata log o f tbis ins tituti on wi ll co nta in th e ou tlin e of the new fo ur yea r course and defi nite instr ucti on:' as to majors a nd minors. The s pecific ad vantages o f a Teach ers' Coll ege a re th e added dig nity of a g roup o f Seni or Co llege students, the a ll ractiveness of s uch an institution for well tra ined faculty members a nd th e presti ge of a dip loma from a college r a ther th an a norma l sch oo l. Ever y ind icat ion is tha t we will h ave in th e o ld Per u No rma l next yea r not less th a n fift y S en ior Coll ege fo lk. The o ld degree, Bachelor of A rts in Education, was granted to t wenty-live people in th e last biennium. In all proba bility th e number receiv ing the A.

Dear Class of '21: My congratulati ons and affecti onate good wishes to each and every one of you- not only to my good friend s, the ] uniors of last year, but to all those fortunate ones who call th emsel ves '21 this June. \\lhat luck, to be twenty-one all your li ves ! \\lhat better wish for you th an th is - that gray hair and wrinkles may not take from you one whit of yo ur zest for li ving, of your " divine discontent" with many existing things, of yo ur wel coming attitude toward new ideas and new ideals. " Water purifies itself by flowing," said a wise ma n once; " 'Tis the same thing with men. " Ma y you never stagnate into a comfortable acquiescent belief in the good of things as they are! So here's my wish for each one of you, a long, full life, happy as may be, lived in the spirit of '21. ABBA WILLARD BOWEN.

In th e resigna ti o n of L L. House as presiden t of the S tale Norma l a t P er u, we lose a loved a nd res pected c h ief. Fo r yea rs before his advancement to th e preside ncy, he g uid ed th e d estini es of th e Tra ining; chool wi th such ,路ision a nd wisdom th a t it rapidl y r ose to the rank of one o f th e ,路c r y be~t in the mid dle west. It was large ly du e to his untiring efl'o rts that it is as fin ely housed as it is today. His electi on to th e pres idency in th e ::umme r of 1918 was the occas ion of unive rsal r ej oicing among a lumni a nd sch oo l me n gene rally throughout th e slate as well as o f fac ulty. stud ents a nd tow nsp eople in Peru. Nor has he eve r disappointed our most roseate h opes. H e has g i,路en of his spl endid self with out stint to th e school and the cause of education. a nd his efl"orts h a Ye borne fruit far beyo nd mere words to desc ribe. Throug h his acti,路e rela ti o nship with the 1a ti onal Co uncil o f Norma l Sch oo l Pres ide nts a nd Principa ls and as S tale Director for the Na ti onJI Educa tion Associati on during its reorga niz:tti o n peri od , he has kept the P eru No rmal in the na tio na l educa ti onal conscience. We all regard him as a pe rso nal as wel l as a professio na l friend , and reali ze th at leader;; so und ersta nding, so frank , so ympa th eti c, so open-minded are r a re indeed. " His mag ic WJS not far to seek, He was so hum an! Whether strong or weak, Far from his kind h e never sa nk or soa red , But sat a n eq ual g uest at e ver y boa rd .

Greetings 1L has been my privilege to write a few words of g reeting fo r three Pcru \路ian,... T he first cam e at th e close of our war experien ce. One year ago we we re in th e he yda y of the prosper ity th at seemed to be co ming to Amer ica because s he was th e o n e solvent nation in th e world. As Ma ytime appro aches this 1921. we find o ur-e l ve.,; in th e ea rl y stages of the reacti on from the war. De pre s io n is felt in m o,;t fi elds. Products a nd wages are grad ua ll y being r educed to pre- war level s. Fina nc ial and industrial instituti ons are :,trugg ling for existence or tolle ring on the brink of d i,-as te r but with a tendenc y toward sanity and safety. The most hopeful phase of these troublesome days is th e alt itude o f th e pub I ir toward their schoo ls. In nea rl y every sta te in the Uni o n the I imitati o n o f th e rate of taxati on fo r schoo l purposes has been removed. Boa rds of Educa ti o n and Boa rds of Control of endowed instituti ons, sensing the ab olute nece s ity of ma in ta ining th e ed ucational institutions of the co untry, are actuall y inc reasing th e co mp e ns ation of teachers, providing the m with teacherages, ma king prov is ion for pe rm anent tenu re and retirement compensation. More a nd more all th ese factors are ins isting upon t rai ned teache rs because they reali ze that America must be th e leader in this c r iti ca l d ecade of r eco nstruction. Teachers a re res ponding by a n ad ded sense o f res p ons ibility a nd a fi rm er determination to be thoroug hl y prepa red fo r th eir new respons ibil ities. This has been plainl y noti ceable on th e campus this yea r. Th e re is a se r iousness and a determination th at has not been in ev ide nce s ince 1914. I a m s ure each member of th e Clas5 of '21 goes to his sch oo l this fall with a clea r vis io n of respons ibility a nd a full determination to pi a ~' his part well in the building of a better citizenship. The Sta te Leg is lature, di scern ing the need for mo re and more adeq ua te prepa rati on fo r th e Leaching p ro fession, has a uth ori zed th e tra ns forma ti o n of th e o rmal Schools into Teachers' Colleges. We are confident th a t in e ver inc reasing numbers teachers will co me to their classrooms with a t least a co llege ed uca tion as a preparati on. We a re g lad th at the Sta te Teache rs Col lege a t Peru h as been added to th ese full g rown No rm al Schools. There is ever y indicati on th a t m any members o f th e Classes of '20 and '2 ] will return for the additiona l two yea r s o f training a t the earliest possib le moment. Will not many of th e 'teen C lasses fo ll ow in th e ir trai n ? Tt is with keen regret a nd th e breaking o f ma ny hea rt ties tha t I leave the o ld schoo l. My best wishes a nd m y perso nal influence will be for the upbuilding of a better a nd stronger sch ool in路 th e yea rs to come. The friend shi ps formed during these fourteen strenuous b ut happ y year s are enoug h to sweete n man y a day o f di ro uragement i f such s hall be my lot. S urely any a nd a ll P e ru vians kn o w th ey ma y call upon me for any professional o r persona l se rvice I can rend e r th e m.

@@ J. All ye othe r classes liste n to what th e peppi est class o f P. S. 1â&#x20AC;˘ h as to say: We are a ship of ex plorers tossed a bout on th e stor my sea of experience. The capta in of our ship is Rola nd Carr and we have found him a very competen t one. As we boa rded the ship we were met by Lucill e H a ra jian, who coll ected the fare a nd wrote ou r names in her I illle book. We appointed Mr. Chase to keep us from forgetting h ow to yell. But before we started we were very th oug htful in electing a committee to keep us entertained. These p eople were Alyce Humbert, Mark Delzell and Thelma Howe. Their good progra ms have since proved th eir a bility. When we we re thus far prepared we began to take an in ventory a nd found th at we had not obtained a sponsor fo r our trip. \Ve looked <lbout and saw next to us, a nd ju~ t about ready to sail a shi p, on whi ch was written in large letters " Fac ult y l92l." Someone suggested th at we look ove r th e p assengers of our neighb or ~ hip and ch oose a n adv isor. Our eyes fell on a joll y little man who came forwa rd to welcome us. H ow co uld we res ist! He kindl y consented to go wi th us so we boarded our ship and set sa il, for now we felt much safer with ~ uch a n able advisor as Mr. Sch oenik e. On our trip we n oticed Dorothy Pettit writing down eve rything we did. so we lea rn ed to be careful for we kne w th a t it wo uld be p ublished in th e no rma lite. ¡w e had not gone far when we decided to h ave a party. As our advisor was unavailable we were compelled to l ook for a ch aperone. We were delighted to h ave th e facult y ship come into sight aga in, a nd from it this tim e we chose Miss Withe rs and Miss Gockl ey. wh o proved more than satisfactory. One evenin~ we enjoyed a theatre party a nd oyster stew. The d eck h as been th e scene of man y gay times throughout the year. We reach ed our port, cast our a nch or, havin g h ad very calm weather except for the high waves th at dashed a t times, which were nothing more than the competitions of the sophomore class. - A.

Simple Nature Be it not mine to steal the cultured flower From any garden of the rich and great, Nor seek zcith care, throug h many a weary hour, Some novel form of wonder to create. Enough for m e the leafy woods to ro ve, And gather simple cups of m ornin g dew, Or, in the fields and meadows that I love, Find beauty in their bells of every hue. Thus round my collage floats a fragrant air, And though the m stic plot be humbly laid, Y et like the lilies gladly growing there, I have not toiled, but take what Cod has made. My Lord Ambition passed, and smiled in scorn; I plucked a rose, and lo! It had no thorn. -

FOOTBALL The foll owing pages are filled with pictures and results of games during the football season of 1920-21. In presenting them a few words might be said in regard to the athl ete. Beca use he is big and strong, quick and s harp, he need not be stamped a brute. Us uall y his honest face and bright eye proclaim th e well rounded man behind him. Football ha,_ always been a popular sport in the colleges and is ev identl y th ere to sta y. Men may talk of its brutality and declare its barbarity, but they ca n never touch the sentiment of the man who has clutched the pigskin in his arms, with every muscle quivering in one grand, mad rush of advance. The 1920 football squad completed the heaviest schedul e in the hi story of P er u While th ey were not victorious in all their games, they finished in th e firsl division of the conference.
I "ormal.
The seuson was full of thrills, accidents, and mishaps that gave it a complete variety and, of co urse, not a ll of th ese mad e it the most comfortabl e, or worked for the prosperity of th e team. About the middle of Septem ber, under th e tutelage of Coach Speer, thirty-five young, husky Nebraskans began their tra ining for the season's strugg le, and on October 1 met the champions o f 1919 from York. With a gro up of yo ungsters around Capta in Gately, Sharrar, Higgins and E. Rosenquist, the boys handed the ex-champions a 28 to 0 defeat for th e first game o f the 1920 season. Passes from Captain Gately to Sharrar and short runs by Will y, Gately, Wilcox and Bracke were features of the game. Next on th e schedu le came Midland College, at Fremont, October 8. H ere a terrifi c struggle was encou ntered as usua l, but the pep machine was geared up and in perfect running order, so all the disturbance of the Midland learn was taken ca re of. Bracke had made a spectacular run o f forty ya rd s through a broken field , carrying the ba ll ove r the goa l line, and Ed. Rosey had added two more points on a safet y by blocking a kick behind th eir goal line to make the score 9 to 0 at the end of the firs t half. In th e last half, Midland admitted they were clea rl y outplayed when, to show them the bo y~ had th e punch, Will y and Bracke took the ball down the field on short end p lays, Will y making the last score o f the game, which ended: Peru, 15 ; :Vl idl and , 0. October 1:), th e Peruvians j ourneyed to Grand Island , where a full grow n scrap took place. This ga me found Peru minus both regular half-backs, Wilcox and Bracke, who were injured in the Midland game. The Is landers outweighed the Peruvians by a good margin and forced us to take the count of 12 to 0. A down-pour of rain made fumbling frequent and no one was certain it was his ball until th e referee had blown it dead and pl aced his foot up on th e ball to prevent it from floating away.

On Oc tober 22, th e pep m achin e deli,路ered th e hi gh scor e of th e season in th e co nference, by ta king th eir old riYa l, Kearney, to a r edeeming of 103 to 0 . Peru is quite certa in this score will sta nd for time to come. Traudt was hig h score man , with seven touchdo wns to his cred it. Captain Gately would ha nd th e ball to one of th e backfi eld men, or shoot a pass to S harra r , and run to th e othe r end of the field to kick goa l. Wesleya n game, October 29, was hard fought, but aga in th e Pe ru boys were \l路orking aga inst ex perie nce a mi weigh t. \Ves leyan p ut on a n aeri al attack we did not break up. Captain Gatel y and Higgins were injured a nd removed from the game during th e first half; this sha tt ered the Peru defense and they broke through for a . J,Q to 0 score. Then, on 1 ovemb er 5, th e trip to H astings, which resulted in defeat. The men ha d not recovered fro m th e Wes leyan game entirely, but put up a g reat ga me a nd out-pl ayed Hastings on straight football. Again, the forwa rd pass put th e opponents to vic tory. Doa ne a rri ved a t line-u p a nd naturall y Again Peru outplayed with th e forward pass
Peru on November 12. Captain Gately was not in the Peru th e team felt th e absence of th ei r ca ptain a nd qu artet路-back. th eir opponents on straight football , but lack o f experien ce spelled defea t.
Th e \Vayne trip, on November 19, was ra ther tedious and irregul ar, yet the boys d el ivered a victory o f 7 to 0. After losing two sure touchd owns by over-throws to Sharrar, it was tim e for someone to make a get-awa y to score, a nd with sh ort end runs by Land olt, Wilson and Will y, Peru took the ball to Way ne's 30-yard line. H ere Landolt, with p erfect inte rference, broke through for the onl y score of the ga me. Th e fin al game with Cotner T ha nksg iving Day, at Peru, was a real battle. Wilcox proved his a bility to pilot the team in the a bsence of Captain Gatel y. The team, with the exp eri ence o f the season's p lays, put up their real fi ght of the season. Willy was th e ma instay on offense in the contest, runn ing 40 yards through a broken field for the onl y touchd own of the game. Wilcox kicked a p erfect field goal from the 25-yard line, making the sco re: P eru, 10; Cotner, 0.

Basketball . 1921 Basketball at Peru this season has been proclaimed Ly many spectators to be one of the snappiest ever put on at the local court. When practice was ca ll ed the three letter men to rep ort were Capt. Ed Rosenquist, Carl Rosenquist and Higgi ns. Two practice games were arranged with Auburn Legion and S yracuse Athletic Associati on, which were won with ease and a ll the men got a chance to show their skill at basketba ll. The fir!'t trip out found us in a tangle with Doane, and t hey took o ur measure by a good score, but lhis gave the new boys experience and set a mark f or them to work to in speed. The following night f ound th e Peru bo ys g o ing at lop speed and running over the Kearney boys by a big sco re. The th ird a nd last game on the trip was lost to Hastings by 2 points to 18. The boys sa y th e home o fficial won it for Hasting!', so does Coach Speer. It is said yo u shall no t run wi t h the ba ll b ut they did and a lways to an open space to shoot. Then came Tabor college to g ive the men a worko ut and with the full seco nd team in dur ing last ha lf Peru put their first g ame with Tabor awa y with a o ne-s ided victory. The fol lowing week found Per u sq uad with two men, Toft and Clark, on the hospital list but fisher was ready to go and the trip to Tabor gave t he Per u hoopsters anoth er victory with topheavy score. The fo ll owing n ight fo und the Peru vians 0cri ving Midland a fine exhibition of basketball and here Capt. Ed Rosey put up his big score of the season and pull ed his team ou t at the final wh istle with a 27 to 24 Yictory. The fast team from Cotner furni shed the next oppos itio n on the Peru co urt and it is said th is game on Feb. ll th was the faste t exh ibition o f basketball ever seen on the Peru noo r. Cotner broke out with a lead of th ree basker s b ut the Peru fi ve proceeded to hit the ring for a final count of 26 to ] L]. in their fa vo r. The foll o wing week found Clark out of the ga me again and the team found the same Cotner team g oing strong as eYer. At that the Peruvians played an agg ressive game and o nl y !'orne clever long shots took this game awa y from them b y o ne po in t j ust before th e last whistl e. Kearney came to Peru to win back their defeat at Kea rney but the bo ys fro m the short grass section had to he content w ith a 29 to 10 clefeat. Then came the Doane aggregation with a full string of pl ayers from Crete. To lo!'e th is gam e meant the championship out of their g rasp and several neutral p arties asserted th at the young m an as referee seemed to appreciate the fact from th e way he hand ed it to the Peru team. It was ver y evident that had we gotten a n even b reak on th e foul s o f Ll1 e ga me we could have taken Doane to a c lean defeat, but as it was. th ey came in for a ,路ictory o f l o . to 1 J.. After a full week of \rork at pointing his m en for th e final g ame of the season on Mar. 15th with !'11icll and Coll ege, Coach Speer sent his men in for a figh t to the fini sh. Fisher repl aced Wil co~ who was in the hospital , and the boy, F isher, put up a g reat defensi ve ~a me. Aga in Ed , Carl, and Cla rk had th e ir noor work ~o i n <! at top peed and Mid! and ers m ade th eir fina l s urrender to Speer's "Pep Machine" o f 1921. Again Ca pt. E. Rosenqu ist led his tea m in poin ts with 1.-J. of the 18 to l l victory. So another year 's histor y of Peru basketball is w ritten down wi th 9 games wo n and 4 lo!'t.

The Girls' Basketbal l Tournament was aboYe par th is year if we ca n judge by the c lass s p ir it m a nifested a nd by th e high type p lay ing that was clone by each member of the four teams. T he cle,·e r passes tha t we re so successfull y executed , th e sp le nd id tea mwork, and th e s pectacular goal shooting m ade th e games unusua ll y interesting and exciting.

T hey \1 ere just outclas~ed b y th e Sophomores, most o f which played togeth er last vear as Freshmen a nd showecl such unusua l team work then. Edna Fishe r's work was eq ual in ever y way to that she did as a Freshma n. The Juni ors and Seni o rs were quite evenl y matched a nd the Juni ors won on ly a fte r a mig ht y ha r d fi gh t.

Y. M. C. A. One o f the first ways in whi ch th e Y. M. C. A. attempted during the yea r to connect up with ca mpus I ife was by g iving to each student at registration a handbook gollen out in co-operation with th e Y. W. C. A. and the N. C. A. This helped to introduce the new !;tud enl immedi ately to some of the mo re desira ble activities of schoo l life. The first week of th e yea r closed with a breakfast and melo n feed out in th e pasture beyo nd th e athl eti c fi eld. Yes, " wien ies," a melon fig ht, swat lag and the g ood fell owship for whi ch the " Y" sta nds were much in evidence. Another way in which th e association has attempted to take a helpful part in "Chool acti viti es was through th e bulletins issued at the football games. These us ua ll y gave th e lin e-up of the teams, th e yells and songs for the day and other interesting information about the game. The plan started a yea r o r two ago o f helping mainta in a Y. M. C. A. worker in Cai ro, Egypt, has been co ntinued this yea r. This, together with missionary meetings, and co ntact with men who are actua ll y in forei gn work, have kept a live and extended an interest in problems beyond th e campus. T he regul a r weekl y meetings haYe had fo r their purpose the deve lopment in the minds o f ~tudenls a n und erstanding of the respons ibility that rests up on th e college man an d the a ro using of every one possib le to g ive at !east part of his time and energy in bringi ng ab out a Christi an solution to th e prob lems now before the world. The meetings have co nsisted of discussio ns by faculty a nd b usiness men and by stud ents of relig ious topics, industrial and socia l problems, co nditions in oth er lands and th e prob lems concern ed in th e choice of a vocation. These meetings through out the ye:tr have been more than usuall y well altenJed a nd interesti ng. A gos pel team a nd quarlelle, planned in other years, became a reality this yea r and took part in meetings in severa l nea rby towns. It is hoped that this work can be contin~d and extended. The " H y-Y" work, though sta rted late th is year, proved ,-er y s ucc ·;,;ful. A leader was furnished from the " Y" and hikes were g iven binding the boys f tl1e h igh school and th e associati on togeth er. The ah nual banquet proved to be one o f the outstanding features of th e yea r. E ver y minute of th e time was al i,·e with son2:s and veils, with o-ood thin()'s to eat business man fr~m Council Bluffs, a nd to hea r. The talk b y " Bob" \\fa ll ace, a bi()' 0 proved a n ins pirati on to every one present. The association has been well represented at th e various conferences ca lled by the st:~te committee, and at Estes Park. These have had a real influence in th e li ves of th ose who attend ed , a nd in the life of th e associati on. We have been pleased during th e year to hear of the Ch risti an ser vice_ being r end ered by severa l o f our Alumni members. \Ve have severa l to go o ut th •s yea r who will carry th e spirit o f th e coll eO'e Y into their work. It is to be hoped th at the ass ociation can co ntinue to send the:~ men out with a tra in ing and an ins piratio n to r end er rea l service. The work of the association nex t yea r wi ll be sta rted by: Carl Rose n11ui ~t, President ; E rland Nelson. Vice President ; Ro la nd Carr, Secr eta ry, a nd D ewey Ganzell , Treasurer. Look th ese men up when yo u return to school.

Y. W. C. A. The management of th e Y. W. C. A. by capa ble and enthus iastic gi rls, under the g uid ance of an inter ested and co-operati\'e ach路iso ry board , has du ring the year of 1920-21 grea tl y enl a rged its s phere of usefulness. How ,,-ell th e organization has s ucceeded as a sou rce of help and enjo yment to th e ;;tud ents may perhaps be indicat ed by the record membership and th e interest shown in a ll of theY. W. acti vities throughou t th e year. Some of the social events of the associatio n were the "Get Acq uain ted Mixer" at t he opening of school, wh ich was g iven jointly by the Christian organizations, the "County Fair," th e "Y. W. K id Party," th e "Y. W. Tea." and the "May Breakfast." Th e weekly meetings were enjoyable and conducive to the highest type of college loyalty and un ity of spirit. Neither interest nor enth usiasm was lacking in them. Delegates were sent to the conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and a lso to th e S tudent Vo lunteer Conference held at Mid land Co lleO'e Fremont, Nebraska. 0

A Typical Day in Peru R-Rr-Rr-Rr-Ring. "Yes! I hear you, you breaker of dreams!" Mari ne turned over m bed and began nud ging her room-mate. Juanita yawned sleepily and exclaimed, "Let me alone." "But you must get up. Exam. in Theory today and you ha ven't looked at your lesson for a week." At this the two girls arose and began to hastil y dress. Juanita opened her Theory book and whi le she combed her h a ir, managed to read the first page. "Where's my sli pper, Juani ta? You used it last night to kill that bug." "Use your eyes and keep still. Can't yo u see I'm busy?" came the answer. At this point the conversation was interrupted by the ringing of the breakfast bel l. ''Hurry, Marine, I smell French toast." After breakfast Marine started her week's p lans that must be in that evening and Juanita proceedeJ to straighten the room. "Oh, N ita it's three minutes till eight. Come! we'll be late to class." The girls grabbed their books and rushed clown-5tairs, nearly up-setti ng Miss Daniels as they went out the door. "Oh, Marine, where's that reference book? I' ll have to get it for I'm nearly broke paying fines now." So saying she ran back up to the th ird floor after her book. She hustled to the li brary, threw the book on the desk and went to class. Between the eight and 路nine o'clock classes, Marine ran over to the dormitor y for the mai l, but the mail man hadn't arrived-as usua l. " Oh, I wish this hour was over, because I don't know what I'm going to say to those kids this morning. I hope they h ave their reports I assigned yesterday. If so, it wi ll be plain sailing for yours tr ul y." Fortunately all the children were prepared and everything went well. At ten o'clock Marine wandered to the li brary to read the morning paper and get a reserve book. As she passed one of the girls at the table she said, "Why working so hard ?" "My pla ns have to be in tomorrow." "Plans! " exclaimed Marine, "Oh, I forgot! Mine are due tonight! " And sh e rushed back to her room to work on them. She opened the door and there sat Juanita eating a nice juicy apple and reading a letter. "Oh, is the mail up? Did I get a letter ? Give me a bite! " "There's just one left in the sack. Help yourself. Yes, here's a letter and a package slip," answered Juanita. "What do you s uppose it is ? I hope it is a cake," continued Marine. "I hope it's a box of candy," piped up Nita.

Marine glanced through her letter and then began on her long neglected plans. "Oh, listen," ~a id Juanita, "a bunch of the kids are coming up in the car Sunday. Won't we have a great time?" "Think how envious the other girls will be when they see us ride off in a big Hudson," replied Marine. "\Vhere shall we go? We can take a lot of pictures if it's nice, and--" " Haven't you anything to do? I do wish you' d keep still and let me work! I thought you were to have a test today." "Oh, Marine, can't yo u let me have a minute's rest? You' re always taking the joy out of life !" However, she hunted up her book and began to study. Both girls worked hard till the end of the period and then went to class. This was Chapel day, and seats having been assigned the week before, it was necessary for them to attend. Mr. Beck nodded to Miss Hylton and she struck the chord. " It isn't necessary for everyone to go Sh! Number 97." Mr. Hageman led the devotional exercises and Mr. Rouse made the usual announcements and called upon Coach Speer to say a few words. Coach Speer told of the big game, the last game of th e season between Doane and Peru, to determine the State Championsh ip. Then followed a rousing pep meeting. As the crowd came out of the Chapel the sweet tones of the dinner be ll at Mt. Vernon were heard and everyone quickened his step. Dinner over, Juanita took her dail y nap while Marine wrote more plans. The hall was very ~oisy. There was singing, shouting, slamming of doors and general commotion. Nita turned over and exclaimed, "Oh, Marine, I wish yo u'd tell those girls to keep still. I can't sleep." "Sleepy路heaJ, I imagine your theory grade would be better off if you didn't sleep," answered Marine. "Mr. Crago says it's good for one to sleep a fe1v .m路i nutes -after dinner," replied Nita. "And if there's so much noise I can't sleep, how can I study ?" "Well, you won't get any studying done today for it's one-thirty now," said Marine. The girls gathered up their books and walked down stairs. "Nita, I'm going after my package at four-thirty. If you want to go, too, be here on time." "Well , if I live through the exam. I ' ll be Johnny-on-the-spot. Good bye." At four-thirty the girls went down to the post office. It was a beautiful spring day. The grass was green and trees budding. The girls thoroughl y enjoyed the walk and for an hour forgot their school work.

When th e g irl s returned they opened the package. It was a cake so they asked their special fri ends in f ~r a ta;;te. " Isn' t this deli cious?" excla imed Marie. " I never tasted s uch a good cake !" decla red Helen. " Wh y, Helen," said Hazel, "That's what yo u sa id when I got my cake." " Oh , did l ? Well , th ey both are the best ever. and I' ve eaten so much I won't wa nt any supper. T hanks, g irl s, for th e treat. I'll come aga in when I smell something good." After supper some of the g irls danced in th e lower ha ll. Marin e declared she must take her plans to her critic teacher, but she would be back by seven-thirty, a ll read y for the ga me. A large crowd ga thered at th e ga me. The band playeCI . Excitement ran hig h. Out came th e teams ! Th ey were g reeted with lusty ye ll s. The whistle bl ew. The ba ll was tossed up. The game was on! Such pl ay ing! At last it ended. Eleven to fourteen, in favo r of P eru. Peru won th e champi onship! :· "Oh ! l' rn happ y, happ y, happy ! Wasn't it g reat ?" sang Ma rine. "Th at referee was fine and it was the ver y best game I ever saw!" " Let's get horne, Nita. I haven't a lesson for tom orro w." The girl s onl y had a half hour to study, so undressed rea,l y for bed, and settled down for a time. But before th em a lways ap pea red th e image of those bo ys p layi ng ball. " Let's ta lk, Marine. I can't stud y," coaxed Jua nita. " o, I g uess you can't. The I ig hts are going o ut ! Hurry, put up the wi ndow and climb in ! l 'rn dead tired and it won't be long till th at breakfast bell will break in upon our dreams again."

A S tudent Night Mare I dreamed of st ro lling d ow n th e street, March fourth , in nineteen forty-o ne, I th o ught th at twenty years ago, Our Seni or work was d one.

T he smiling face of Curl ey! could tell him near or far, In a Oashv suit of store clothes, He was. quite a movie star.
wo ndered where th ose classmates were, Who were so brave a nd strong. And th ese a re the things I call ed to mind As l s lowly walked al ong. got my mind to worki ng, I conjured might and main. And here's the I iul e story. That flashed across tn): brain. The fi rst was Skinn y Bennett, A lawyer ta ll and slim, The great big tow n of Barney For Mayor wan ted him. Opa l Hammo nd beat him to it, For s ix times strai ght ahead. H e tried to bea t th e S uffragette, Po l itica ll y he is dead. Esth er taugh t th e fox-trot, Every day from two to four路 Second only 'to Mildred Fisher,' She had pupils b y th e sco re. I rang th e telephone office. In Lincoln duri ng the fair. " H ell o"-th en a g iggle. I knew Anne Ranne\路 was cent ral th ere. 路
Wa lking close beside him, Her hand upon h is arm, Was Miss Zelda Redding. Who still li,路ed on the farm. Eldie followed the same o ld business, And on the same old plan ; Fine clothes. fine manners, a charmer , He was j~st a ladies' man. A bunch of g irls in bloomers, A ladies' baseball team , With Nevada Parr iott a captain, Made a pleasant d ream. Ed Rosey was so un Iucky, He had married year s ago, And eight tow-h eaded youngsters Followed him about. " Don't yo u know?" Mary 1arv is, the midget, Was leaching a great big school, Many a one look a th reshing. Because he broke the rule.
Mona Keith was in Congress. And an eloquent appea l did make, To save th e laps from a s panking, Which th ey wo uld have had to take.
Ruth Law rence was a governess In th e home of Shorty Huffer, And the shouts and tumu lt of his s ix kids Would make a dea f man suffer .
I met Cl ycle I vers upon th e streetH e wh ispered in my ea r, " I'm th e bea rded lad y, b ut don't tell , ln Ring ling circ us here."
Bill Gr iffiths was a hum orist, Great stories he could tell , H e made a pile of money, And made it go like-well.

Class Prophecy 1941 Our ship had anchored in New York harbor. I had just completed an engineering project in South America and was certainly glad to set my foot on United States territory again. I spent m y first evening after landing, reading the newspapers and magazines f or I had been too busy the last few days to look at them. As I sat in the hotel lobby I picked up the New York Times, and to my great surprise I saw th at Amy Adams was editor. The lvhole front page of the paper was given over to an explanation of a discovery of the fourth dimension that had just been made by two of our leading Mathematicia ns-Daisy Portenier and Ada Miles. These two professors were instructors at the University of Wisconsin and had been working for many years on this perplexing problem. I also saw an account of the great work that was being done in the slums of New York by Mable Quiller and her husband. The next morning I left for Washington, D. C. On the train I bought a book to read. The author's name seemed familiar and when I opened the book I saw her picture. with the signature, "Pearl Bell," written below. It was a very interesting book on " How to Get to Mars," and it made the trip seem short. The first person I mel in Washington was Chester Sipple, '~ho. h ad been appointed Secretary of Education in the President's Cabinet. He mv1ted me to attend a recital that evening. The first number on the program was a violin solo by the ce_lebrated Lee Hemingway. A later number was a ladies' quartet. I recognized the smgers as old classmates of mine-- Essie Breckenridge, Mignon Marcy, Irene Polsley, and Mable Dressler. After the recital we went to a beautiful little restaurant and imagine my astonishment when Frank Sharrar came to take our order. The next day I went to the art museum. Here I saw many of the statues that had been sculptured by Zayda Aikins. I left Washington that a fternoon and my next stop was Chicago. As I got off the train here I met Luella Veach. [ did not have much time to ta lk to her for her train le ft for Canada almost immediately upon the arriva l of mine. Luella was going to Canada to spend the summer. That evening I had no special work to do, so I walked around after supper. I soon noticed a theatre where crowds of people were entering. Moved by curiosity, I went nearer, and found that one of the lead ing suffragettes, namel y, Emma Fait, was to lecture there that evening. Being tired from m y journey. I sauntered back to the hotel a fter t~e lecture. In the morning I was rather late getting up and I had an appomtment at 9 o'clock so I left the hotel and hurried down the street. " Look out for the cars there!" yelled a traffic co p at me. I looked up very much astonished at the voice and sure enouQ;h there stood Mable Arvidson. On the way down the street I saw a big sign hung in front of a building. It read: "Madame B. Ellis, Beauty Parlor"-another of class '21. That evening I left Chicago for Omaha. How good it seemed to be bound for my home state after such a long absence. As I sat there lookin~ out of the window someone came up and slapped me on the back. Who sh ould it be but Escher Landoldt! " How is the world treating you, and what are you doing now?" I inquired. "Oh, I am travelinu salesman for Henderson and Son, Chicago Grocers," he rep lied. Yes, I might ha~e known he would be connected with a grocery store when I think of his many hours in the hill store at old Peru. Page 154

)> He told me that he had met Ada Huff a few days previous to this. Imagine what she was doing-selling cars for the Ford Co. He said _she was a very successful woman and might become a partner in the Ford Firm some day. We noticed a short, rather heavy set woman sitting across the aisle from us. We thought she looked familiar but coul d not tell who she was. Presently she turned around and we recognized Inez Peterson. We learned from her that her husbanda wealthy New York broker- had died and she was on her way to her old home. We had a very pleasant trip to Omaha, talking over old school days. When we entered the depot at Omaha we saw a Salvation Army woman coming toward us. \Ve were very much surprised when we recognized her as Ethel Haig. She said she met the trains every day to direct strange young girls in the city to s uitabl e hotels. She asked us if we knew that Professor Beck was in Omaha. He was at the St. Jo;;eph's Hospital recovering from an operation. I decided that I woul d go see him before I left Omaha. The next day was Sunday so I dressed in my best suit and went to church. The sermon was a very touching one and after church I went to the minister. Beside him stood a tall , dark-haired woman. "Why, Dorothy Jackson," I exclaimed. " Oh, do you know my wife? " asked the minister. They invited me to their home for dinner and in the afternoon went with me to see Pro.fessor Beck. As we entered one of the wards the head nurse, Ruth Kelligar, came to us. She look us into the room where Professor Beck was. We found him in very high spirits and ready to tell us a story-just as he always did. We learned that Mable McGinnis and Doris Ma;;on were dietitians at the ho;;pital. The next day I went to the City Superintendent's office to ;;ee if any of the girls I knew were teaching in Omaha. I found that Ruth Groschick was Kindergarten Supervisor at Dundee and was a very much admired teacher. I al;;o learned that Pearl Erisman was teaching Home Economics in Brownell Hall. As I left the City Hall I met Alice Sch oenike, who told me she owned a studio in Omaha. She a lso told me that Beulah Maxcy and J e;;sie Whalen were in the city. Beulah was a fashion model at Brandeis and Jessie ran a Matrimonial Bureau. Both the g irls were enj oying their work immensely. I thought that since I was so near Peru I would go there for a couple of days and see if the dear old school looked like it did twenty years ago-in 1921. I was taken by the taxi driver to the Home Hotel, which was run by an old classmate of mine-Grace Swartout. She was staying in Peru so her daughter could go through the State Teachers College. The next morni ng I went up to the Ad building and whom should I see coming out of the office of the Dean of Women but Faye Farquhar. She certai nly was a very fine Dean and was much loved by all the girls. She took me into the office, where I saw Lucy Kelly, who was stenog;rapher there. Faye told me that several of the girls I used to know were living near Peru. Zelia Elliot was President of the Mothers' Club in Woodsiding, Jean Johnson wa;; ;;ecretary to the Mayor of Barney, and Effie Gilliland was a farmer's wife livine; near Peru. Her husband was quite an expert on mushroom growing. Frances Gilliland was still unmarried and was running the millinery store in Peru. As I left the Ad building I heard a very piercing voice say, "Girls, I do not believe that is quite proper," and I looked up to see Marguerite Bridges, who was preceptress at Mt. Vernon Hall. I can assure you that my visit in Peru was a happy one, but as all good things must end-1 had to leave in a few days. From there I went to Lincoln. It happened that the Supreme Court was in session at this time. I had nothing to do during the afternoon so went to hear the case. When I entered the court room I recognized the judge as Edith Cole and one lawyer as Florence Monagon.

A. When Schooldays Are Over When schooldays ha Ye fled to the realm of the past, And all of the frien dships we thought were to last !-lave someh ow grown dim with th e passing of years, fhe heartbreak o f time.. and the slin"'in" c 0 of tear~. We' ll hid e a ll our sorrow away out of sight, And turn once aga in to the Blue a nd th e White. We' ll see in ou r d rea m the old ca mpus in ;\1ay, With the sun shining warm throug h th e pleasa nt spring day. Glad hea rts beat aga in with the sheer j oy of l i,路ing, For who but gay youth kn ows the joy of first giving? Our old eyes will shine with the luster of youth, With a ll of its intimate knowl edge of truth. And something of all the wild torture and p ain, The much that we g ive for the little we o-ain Will be swept from our h ea rt s by th at br~ath from the past, Tha t g limpse for a time th at was too sweet to last. I路 or wisdom will come with its soothing a nd hea ling, Where the figure of age to its own youth is kneeling. And we' ll know once aga in as we knew in our youth , There a re no ill us ions ! Illusions are Truth! So in yo uth a nd in age, in sickness or health , In direst need or lu xurious wea lth, Wh er ever we are or wha teYer we do, When we need greatest comfort we'll turn to Peru. Beloved Alma !\later, thou tenderest one, We' l l che rish thee e\路er, though school days a r e done. ~

Farewell \Xfhen Commencement d ay is over. and we no longer feel ou rseh路es a n active p a rt o f the vita l, throbbing life of Peru, we look about us at all th e scenes we h ave come lo love. What do we see as ou r minds and eves wander ab out ? Fi rst of all , th e sta tely t rees of the Campus rise before us, with their background o f brick a n d ivv--our fancies flit in and out of the various classrooms where our davs of toi l h a Ye ended. . Then we go clown the hill to the littl e vill age nestled among th e bluffs.

~------------------~ ' Summer School County Clubs Two )'ears aero in th e summer of 191 <) began the recent histor)' of the County 0 , ' ~ d b Clubs und er th e present o rganization. Great moYemenls o ften have been slarle Y so me lillie e\'enl, so it was with th e County Club movement. Oh, yes, Peru had Co unty Clu bs be fore, so haYe other schools, years and yea rs ago, but n~t such an organ izatio n as i · in P eru at th e present time. There is, and has been, umt~d states, but not so united as has been th e nitecl S ta les of America, in each o f wluch th_ere i s uch unit y o f purpose. It has been th e custom for the summer school orgam z~· li ons to put on a Big Stunt at th e close of S ummer School. T o beller carry out thts scheme it wa,; dec ided to have each Co unty Cfub put on a stun t. Thus two ye~rs ago the co unty o rganizatio ns wer e perfected into a workinofactor o f the school wtth 0 a fac ulty m ember as ad visor for each organizati on. Th e g reat s uccess o f l 9l9 encouraged the better and closer organization for 1920. Each organization became a I iving part o f the institution, and at th e• same time a ll the org anizations were u ni ted into one worki ng factor. What do the Co unty Clu bs d o that make th em so d istincti ve? In" th e past these Clubs \~ere orga ni.zed solely for socia l and booslin~ purposes and d id not have _their g reat aun , educalt onal and cultura l, as well as socia l. Yes, they had a Pres tdent, Vice Pt:esidenl, Secretary, Treas urer , Yell Leader , Reporter, Faculty Adv iso r and ;,uch mmor officers as the needs of the orrranizati on di ctated. Then there were the committees a nd sub -commillees to help make th e orga niza ti on a mo re perfect working force. During th e ea r ly da ys o f th e s ummer school th e clubs go on hikes and have picnics and o utin gs. E ach Thursday th ey ha,·e th eir business meetings, in wh ich all the bus iness is tra nsacted a nd th e plans made. Often when th ere is no business on hand th e hour was devoted to prac ticing so ngs a nd ye lls, or to having someo ne g ive a ta lk on a li,·e educat ional subj ect. . When the organ izati on is perfected th en beg ins the great work o f th e club. Peru ts bl essed more th a n an y part of Nebraska with a rich end owment o f Na ture's rat:est and ch oicest scenery. There is a lar ger number o f birds o f di!Terent varieti es in. this vicinity than in a ny other place in Nebraska. This is d ue to th e p r otection which had been g iven th e bird s in a nd ar ound Peru for yea rs befo re the b ird stu dv and protection became a stale-wide movement. · Ther e are th ousa nds of ,·ari eti es o f plant life. In the bottom lands on the i\ I isso uri th ere is th e ri ch vegetati on o f the lowl and. The forests ar e rich with its pec uli a r vegetati on , and here and there on th e fertil e h ill s and pastures wes l of Peru will be fo und virg in s pots o f the wild pra irie. whi ch has not been c lai med by t~ e pl 0 wma n o r th e ever-sprc:Hli ng forest. wh ere still prairie Oowe rs may be fo und 111 abundance. Then th ere is the anima l life. In a fift een-m inute walk to th e lakes ma ny va ri eti es of fi sh may be found in ~ re:t t abundance. This las l fall the State Fish Com· mi ~s i o n er ~ hipped s ix ca rl oads o f fi sh to replenish th e lakes th roughout Nebraska. Th e-e hi li s, va les and be·llJt y spots, i [ once visited, are ne,·er to be f orgollen. T he students love to stand on Pike's P eak cmd look over the g reat ntl ley to the bluffs hiding in th e blue h aze o f ·M isso uri and Iowa . U p or d own th e ri\'er they c:.n look unlil th e g reat ri ver g rows narrower and narrower <l.ncl , ribbon -like, is loE t in th e dim misl of th e distance. With a ll th ese ri ch 1reasures of nature to expl ore th e tud ents find the summer a ll too short.

Big Budget Boosters Brown Beck HO\vie Combined weight, 700 pounds, over one-third of a ton T he o-rowth of an instituti on may be likened to th e development of a personality. One cann~L be associated with the P eru State Normal for any length of time, without coming in conta ct with an institution th at is almost a personality: i. e., the organization and direction of th e Budget Committee. How quickly we all seek connection with the seeming personality that holds the Magic Key to the treasure h ouse of recre路 a ti onal , literary and musical activities of the schoo l! The Budget System is no longer as a waif wa iling for recognition, but is a lusty youth for whom many of the members of th e faculty have acted as sponsor::'. A series of quiet, delicate questions to va rious older-in-service guardians of the class r oom, will r eveal several who claim credit for the conception of the now might y " miracle man" who can quadruple the purchasing power of a student's do llar. Th ese objecti ves by unselfish labor h ave been accomplished: l. The stud ents and public are faithfull y ser ved at a minimum cost. IJ. The various act ivities of the schoo l have been financed without stint. III. Many other worth y activities of th e school have been lifted from th e financia l s lough of despond. IV. The unused ba lance is loaned to worthy students, thus ass isting th em to complete th eir education. The foil owing entertainments were prO\iided during the yea r just closed: F ou r football and six basketball games, four numbers on the lecture co urse, two dramati c club plays, one ba nd and orchestra concert, one oth er musical number , eleven hi gh class movies, one "gym " exltibition , and a yea r's subscripti on to th e Normalite. Th ese, if paid for at the usual charge for s ingle admissions, would aggr egate Sl 3.50. The Budget System made it possible to furni sh the ab ove entertainments for only $4 .00. Ho w co uld it be d one? By united effort and loyal support on th e part of th e students and fri ends of Old Peru. Long I ive the Budget System!

hunters. Whene\ er we found little Licorice Coons hidden about in the room, we harked until our hunter came to get them. The trouble with that usually was that the ccons had disappea red by the time the hunter got there. I can't imagine where they went to- but somewh ere. This picture represents our last date-sad but true. Hildega rde a nd Prante a re about to do th e Virgin ia reel here. Don't they look happy? Mable, with her band cap, led the wonderful brass band. Peg, whose cap ca n be seen in the rear. was the clown who per~ist ed on wasting a ll the firecrackers j ust to see people j ump and screa m. We had p otato races and a " fat man's" race a nd-well , most ever y kind of a race in here. We sta yed here until the firecrackers, brass band and confelli got too hot for us and then we went back to the reception room and had "Brick Ice Cream and Cake," to cool us ofT. And then it was time to go home and some of the folks even had da~es for that. But before we departed a clear voice boomed out- " What's the matter w1th th e Gi rl s' Club? " ·'They're all right" - " Who's all right ?"-"The Girls' Club."

The Junior- Senior Banquet The big event is O\·e r! The Juni ors, pe rhaps, a re g iving wee sighs o f rel ief and sa tisfact ion. The Seni ors, s ig hs of co ntentment. Fo r days we ha,·e been anti ci pa ting this event , imag ining how wond erful it would be, yet even our imag inings d id not come up lo th e s ight tha t met our sta rtl ed e~·es on th a t eYent ful CYen ing. \Ve assembl ed in th e Training Schoo l Aud itorium. \Vh at a prelly sight it was, to see lhe co upl es ente ring, the g irls with their lo,·el y dresses and corsage boq uets-the boys so straig ht a nd tall , wi th their newly acq uired dig nit y. And th en, wit h thrills o f a nticipatio n a nd excit ement, th e co uples look their pl aces, assig ned lo the m by Mr. Higg ins, Master of Ceremoni es. Slowly we ma rched Lo the "gy m," ve ry much excited, hut trying o ur best to be proper a nd dignified. But I' m afraid a few " Oh's" esca ped us whe n we entered th e "gym," f or it was no "gym " at all , but a wo nd e rful sta r-l it ga rd en instead. A blue, blue sky, tw inkl ing with shin y s ta rs, looked d o 11·n on a \rond er ful garden. Abo ut this garden was a white trellis, wi th la rge white pill a rs a t even inte rva ls. Huge baskets of ye ll ow ch rysanth emums b eckoned ga il y to us from th e Lop of each p illa r. Grea t masses of ferns hung over lhe ga rden wall. And in th is wond erful ga rden were lo ng, snowy white tab les, deco rated in th e Junior co lors, brown and go ld. On the sh ades of th e ye llow cand le sti cks, big brow n bullernies g racefull y rested as if the b r ight lights, and th e vases o f g lad io li had allracted th em the re and wo uld not let them go. Li ttl e yellow nut ba,.ke ts s mil ed ga ily before each p lace, as if to say, " I kn ow you will like me." The g rape-fr uit cocktail add ed to th e decora ti on as we ll as our a p petites. Ed. Rosenquist. whe n he saw a piece of parsley emerg ing from his baked potato, insisted that h is pot a to was s prouting, whil e President Rouse was p ositive tha t his creamed chicken was in a boat instead o f a pastry case. Mr. \Vill y sa id that he th ought it was mi ghty fin e of W iison to bring so ma ny beets up from Harva rd. And I believe I hea rd some liul e o li ves re mark that th ey didn 't think it was \·ery n ice of people wh o d id n't like the m to p ass th em und er th e ta bl e to some one wh o did . Miss Ellis sai d that th e ca ndied g inger put just the rig ht a mount o f pep in the lemon ice a nd I g uess it did , too, for we a ll bega n to ea t our perfection salad a nd tin y star -sh a ped sandwiches as if we were merely beg inning on th e first course instead of th e thi rd. The ch ocola te ice cream with the o ra nge fi lling flashed before us again the Junior colors and rem inded us what roya l entertainers th e Juniors were.
It was with the high est deg r ee of contentment th at we sa t there, sippi ng our coffee and li~t ening to the o rch estra which had been play ing through out the evening . Th e vio lin so los by Miss Davis and the piano solo by Miss Shively were very effective. Then ca me th e toasts ! And what fine, inspiring toasts they were, too! He rbert Kell y, as Toastmaste r (and I'm s ure he coul d write a book on " H ow to Manage T oasts a t a Banquet"), introd uced the topic of a ll topics. " Play the Game," and the following toasts were g iven: "Warming Up ," by Paul Wilcox; " T oss Up," by Professor Beck ; " P e rsona ls," Mr. Ga tely; " T eam Wo rk ," Miss Gr iffiths; "Sh ooti ng the Goal," Miss Argabrigh t; a nd lastl y, "The Sco re," b y President Rouse. In each toast th ere was much fun, but b esides this the re was something inspiring in each, something th at made on e want to be bigger, and to p lay th e game of l ife fairly a nd h onestly with fri e ndsh ip for his fell ow me n. Let us remembe r those encouraging words of P resident Rouse-that in o ur future life, when we are attempting the work we have planned a nd set o ut to do, we must remembe r it is our job to accomplish th e one we are best fitted to do, one th a t ca nnot b e left f or someo ne else to take u p when we beco me discouraged. Let us r emember, too, th at song we sa ng a t th e last, the Peru color son O' rr and keeJJ it s in o<Yin.,. o-a me. n in our hearts as we take our JJa rt in l ife's b Page l GI

De re !Via a nd Pa a nd Ma r y&. Johnni e a nd Baby: [ wen t to a s well part y last night a nd I had so much fun I'm still a ll h et up abo ut il. T hese h ere teach ers who teach us h ow to teach gave it to us and I'm r ight he re to sa y th a t, l'd bet my old red co w tha t you co uldn 't fi nd a smarter , cleverer bunch of teache rs in th e sla te. T hey all came a round a nd sh ook ha nds with me a nd mad e me fee l like Unc le Samuel did a fter his trip to New York- kind a swelled up ins ide, yo u know. We ll th e first thing th at happened when yo u came in the door was tha t th ey p inned either a b lue or red paper pen nant on you. I did n't know wha t this was fo r till I sa w a b ig red penna nt in th e back which said " H a rva rd" on it a n a b lue one wh ich said "Yale" on it, so I asked one of th e popul ar g uys here ca ll ed Chuck Ga tely about it and he said th ose stood for schools a nd I was for H a rvard ca use m y p enna nt was red. I soon found out that both of these s ides was a go inta p lay so me ga mes a nd the one who won th e most woul d win. Well , first th e two sides h ad to pla y fool ba ll a nd so our side put up Ed. Rosenquist which the kids ca ll Rosy, and th e other side put up Adam Tro udt which a re both awful good foo tball pl ayers. But instead of pl ay in' th e rea l thing th ey onl y had to roll th e ball a long a string . Well a co urse m y side won. The n each side put up a base ball team a ll(! wh at do yo u r eck on th ev had 'em do? Well thev h ad 'em baw l with their eyes a nd mou th, you kn ow, just 路like the baby does. OUI: side bawled lots the best but th e judges wh o was three of th e facul ty gave it to the othe r side- 1 g uess we baw.led too lo ud. T he n the next was a game ca lled "shot put." In this here ga me, two g n路ls had to put beebees on e at a time in to a bottle. lt was j ust awful fun ny the way those I ittl e critte rs rolled a rounrl. Mable was do in it fo r our side a nd her hand shook so methin awfu l so Mona Keith, who is o ne of m y best frie nds, beat her and that cou nted some p oints for Ya le. T he n the re was severa l oth er things which I ' ll just barely mench on cause you proba bl y wou ldn't und erstand about 'em a nyway. One of 'em was a broad jump which was ju;;t too g irl s grinnin' as broad as th ey could. There was an obstac le race on a fift y yard dash whi ch I no wi ll in terest ma cause all it was was to wind a spool o f th read on to a nothe r one. The n there was a ten yard dash for g irls only a nd two g irls had to run on marks th at was put about a yard apart. Well our side was abo ut th e best in everything a nd th e score was 45 to 60 fo r H a rvard. The n they said th e side which gave the best yell wou ld get 25 poi nts a nd th at wo ul d dec ide wh o won. Well the yell thev aave was like this : '
v
Y-A-L-E kind a soft like, Y-A- L-E a little louder; Y -A-L-E l ouder a nd faster , Y-A -L-E aw ful loud and fast. T he n we gave one li ke this: Are we a ll dead yet? Are we a ll dead yet? No, b y gosh, th ere's a mi lli on of us yet! H a r va rd ! Harvard ! Ha rva rd! "fou ca n see for yo urself which was the best yell a nd ever yone said tha t H a r vard bad won b ut l guess the judges sa w th at Ya le was take n it pretty hard , so they 0o-ave rh em th e devision and tha t made th e score 70 to 60 for Yale. Then a fter th a t the people from Yal e had to come over Lo Harva rd to gel a partner for lunC'h. Well , a C'ourse, as yo u might no, a ll the g irls made a rush for

me but Mona Kei th a nd Zelda Redding had a head start and Mona being the biggest, got me. Well we al l went down to th e Domes tic Training d in ing room which was all fixed up so home I ike a nd nice, like the other r oom a nd we had whi le cake, perl· neer as good as yo urn mam , and cherry ice and tw o sli m crink ry sLicks of candy. Then we went back up Lo th e party r oom and th e Faculty quartet furnish us with some o f best music l'd ever heard. It even beat th at so lo that J on nie and me sa ng on th e Ch ristm as program. I l ike Lo bust a s ide, lafin at ' ein . They sang a song abo ut the teachers an fac ulty whi ch was aw ful funn y and which I can't remember. Then we clapped so loud th ey had Lo come back a nd th ey sa ng So lomon Lev i and my d og Bingo whi ch I s ure wish pa a nd J ohnni e co uld a hea rd. Then we kept on clapin till they came back with a big folded paper which they said had an Ita l ian song ins ide and which we was a ll to s ing with th em. An d th is was what was on the paper-0 wa tago Siam. Well, it was awful hard for me to sing at first but fina ll y I got on to it and th en I happened Lo listen to myself and I found oul I was sing ing " Oh, what a goose I am." Well I tell yo u I just d o ubl ed up with lauiTin. I just laffed an d la H'ed so hard I co ul dn't help sing the Peru co lor so ng when th e rest of 'em did and I was still lafTi n when 1 started home and b y goll y I' m lafTin now. I till yo u I sure like thi s schoo l and I'm a goin to see that Jonnie and Ma r y and the baby a ll come here. Well I must close a n go to chapel cause the g irls as we ll as the Presiden t will be awful disappo inted if I ain' t there. Take good car e o f yourseh es a n th e baby, I get a long fine here.

A ConfessionWe the undersigned make the following confession to the Class of 1921. We have been gratified to have the patronage of so many of your class and the good will you have shown. Furthermore, we have been accused of conducting an up-to-date DRUG AND STATIONERY Store, meeting all the requirements of students in these lines, and that the service rendered was all of which we most solemnly confess to be true, to the best of our knowledge and belief.

"Mind Your Ps and Qs" This is a very old and well known saying wh ich may be applied to the purchasing of merchandise to a very great a d vantage. This season ther e is a big cry for low prices, but one must be ver y careful that quality isn ' t sacrificed just for m aking a good showing with the$ mark . Briefly said, mind you r Prices and Qualities! I n other words look well to the quality of the goods that a re advertised at very low p ricesfor no matter the price you pay- merchandise is of no value to you unless it r enders service equivalent to prices p a id . We a re hea dquarters for both PRICE and QUALITY. TRY US TO THE LIMIT! YOU Must Be Satisfied
