CLASS OF 1929 Ah, the glorious mystic future Which lies forever ahead! And the beautiful qu~ckeneJ memories Of the past which lives, though dcaJ. Yes, we are the class of twenty-nine And we registered once with the rest, Oh! we were as green as the greenest, 'tis true But our class was the largest and best. Because we were lonesome as lonesome could be: And knew not a man by his name, A party was given through which we could meet, "The Mixer," yes, you've heard of its fame. As frolicksome children let out of the fold, We planned an adventure so gay, And deserted our homes for an evening of fun, For we went on a picnic one day. We freshmen were faithful to our new home, And gave it the best that we had, We brightened each club with our talents so fair, And made the old students glad. The banquet, you remember the banquet, In the halls that were paved with delight. Flushed cheeks, bright eyes, and the fairest of smiks, Ah, the glorious pleasures that night. And though we roam in many lands, And our friends are more than few, When we think of the youth we've left behind, Memory will travel the trail to Peru.

Freshman-Sophotnore Banqtiet On the evening of April 23d, the Freshmen honored the Sophomores with a han· quet, a custom that has held over since the days when Peru was a two-year college. The banquet was served in the gymnasium of the Training huikling. The decorations, it was agreed hy all, surpassed those of any hanquet in the past. The room was converted into a Japanese tea garden with festoons of Spanish moss hanging from the ceiling. Beaded Japane;;e lanterns and candles lighted the room, while roses, sweet peas, and snap dragons gave the room a very colorful ap· pearance, to say nothing of the varied array of "just-for-the-occasion .. evening gowns. The high school assembly was used as a reception room, and high school girls, dressed in Japanese costumes, served as waitresses. The Domestic Science girls, who prepared the banquet, certainly made. the most of this chance to displa~ their culinary art. About two hundred fifty geusts were entertained and sent away supremely happy hy the excellent program of the evening. Much of the evening's success was Jue to efficient committees l.mc..ler the expert c..lirection of the class sponsor, W. R. Carter.

Se ni o r Class Histo r) 1n the fall of 1921, when the door.s of the Training school \\'ere thrown open for another term of school, about forty new, inquiring faces could he seen among the anxious th ro ng. These were the Freshmen~ During the first- yea r the outstanding i'ncial event was a joll y skating pa rty out on the lake. The Freshies also participated in several programs and athletic contests. C lass colors were chosen red and <T reen and never through the four yea rs of high "'sch~l have these colors faded. In 1913 a more experienced class aga in sought Peru Prep. Their initiat ive and origi nal ity was well shown in the d ever circus they featured for High School N ite, and not o nl y in th is hut in all other activities as well as a growing class spi rit and enthusiasm persistently asserted itself. The next yea r was one of special interest fllr the Juniors. A s they rook their places in the upper classmcn group. The most decided ly important event was the pleasure tri p to Nebraska C ity wherein the Juniors entertained the Senio rs C:. A. SP:\CHT hy tak ing them through Arbo r Lodge and a fterAdv iser wards treated them to a royal picnic f east. N or must we omit High School Nite. Who can ever forget those dear little hahies at the J unior show. Bu t w..: must hast..:n on. W e now approach that Senior yea r w hich makes High School life really complet..:. The active class of 1916 could scarcely he recognized as those demure little Freshmen of 19 21 -13. The Seniors placed on the Bohkitten foothall team the captain, Robert Majors, and five of the other first tea m men. On the Basketball team the Seniors again boasted a ca ptain , Louis Bath, and four other players. Also four Seniors made the girls' team. O n the debating sq uad there were three Seniors. O n the Student Council a Senior, Robert Majors, was president, and there were also four other Seniors represented in this orga nization. On April 30, the Senior Class presented ''Penrod," a fo ur-act comedy, take n from Booth Tarkington's story and revised by Edward Rose. T he play itself is very entertaining and all the characters w..:re well portrayed . Much credit for the success of the play must he given to Miss Mildred Pate who so ably assisted the cast in the interpretation of thei r parts. T hus in all the above mentio ned activities and also many o thers, the Se nior~ have proved themselves to he energetic and efficient leaders of students, who in later years, should and wi ll he a desirable asset to any community into which they may he thrown.

FOOT BALL

Lon R . G raf, coach of the Bobcats, is a Nebraska ma n. He played football u nder ''Jumbo .. Stichm. He later transferred to W estminster, w here he c tpta ined the track team . In 192 :; Coach G raf was called to Peru. H e has been <tt Peru fo r three seasons and has lost but two ftx>tb;tll g; unes anJ o ne basketball game in the sta te. He has won th ree basketball titles a nJ one football t itle. In 192 'i h is track team won the teachers college ti tle. ..Little Knu te" has helped Peru to a g reat record , a nJ Peru is proud of him.

The Season of 1925 This year it was the coach's task to build up a team around a fe w veterans li ke Bitzie, Higgins, and C raig. Against the two M isso uri teams that P eru met at the begmning of the seaso n, the g reen Bobcats looked no ne too good . T a rkio won 6 to 0. M arysville had a terrific struggle w inning from the Coach Lon Graf improving Bobcats at M ar ysville, :; to 0. This team later took the M issouri champio nshi p. The first conference game was played against Kearney at Kearney. The Bobcats surprised the state by whipping the Antelopes decisively. Bitzie's plunging, Zorn's flanking attack, and the line's work on offense and def ense featured the 20 to 0 victory. The next game was played at Doane in a sea of mushy gumbo. The r ain kept falling during the game. Bitzie's toe saved the day and kept the game of g umbo from being a tie. The Bobcats wo n 3 to 0. The Cotner Bulldogs came to Peru for the H omecoming game. The mud st ill covered the field . McElroy proved a good general. Zorn got aw;ty fo r ;t sensatio nal run. Peru won 14 to 0. Coach Dale's W ayne wildctts came to Per u on November 4 . The W;tyne team had defeated Midland and looked for revenge. But the Bobcats unloosed a n offense that baffled the Dalemen, and the W ayne forward pass attack fou nd Peru o n the snagging end. Gariss and W illiams won the compli ments of t he sportswriters. Peru 27, Wayne, 0. T he York game at York was not a game; it was a slaughter. T he Bohc tts r<u1 themselves down. T he score of Peru 86, York 0, is indicative of the game. T he ten-day trip began with the game played at H astings with Bill Kl ine's Bronchos. The game was played in a windstorm . The Bronchs pu lled a flu ke to sco re early in the game. But that score only served to make the Bobcats fight . D ri ver, C raig, Zorn , and Bunch were factors in the 27 to 6 victory for Peru. Chadron's veteran team was just a little too strong for the Bobcats. P eru opened the sconng when Bitzie dropped a pretty kick between the bars. But the leaJ w;ts short lived, fo r McKelvey got away for a long run to ;t touchdown . The E;tglcs won the game 1:; to :;_ In 1926 Coach Graf will have more veteran material, and he promises to give th e Bobcats another flag fighti ng eleven. Watch the Bohe<tts in 19 2() !

Basket Ball at Peru Fifty-four consecutive collegiate victories in an organized college conference is the new world's record. Peru holds that record. At the end of the 192 5 season when the Bobcats completed a fourth successive undefeated season they had established a world's record of 42 consecutive victories. With the .. miracle" team of the years 1922·2 5 lost by graduation, Coach Graf did the impossible and made a team that added 12 more victories to the string before meeting unexpected defeat in the last game of the season. The record of 54 consecutive victories is likely to stand for all time. With all the Big Six gone except Buettgenbach, Coach Graf had to depend upon substitute and freshman material. He found two frosh stars, Krejci and Wasley~ and helped make real players out of Cowell, Selk, Buising and Majors. Bitzie soon found a team about him with an offense superior to the offense of 192 5 and a defense as good as the best in Nebraska. No team proved dangerous to the battling Bobcats until that disastrous last game on the Wesleyan floor. Peru had won the championship the previous night by defeat· ing Cotner at Bethany 28 to 13. It was the fourth successive championship for the Bohcats, one of Peru's undefeated seasons found another Conference team in the same position. Joe Krejci was elected captain of the 1927 Bobcats. He will have the following letter men with him: Selk, Wasley, Cowell, Terry, Rickers, Zorn and Conkle.

The Girls' Athletic Associatio n The G irls' Athletic A ssociation w;ts organized in the fall of I IJ24, u nder the direction of Ruby Dam me, the head of the' C iris路 Physical Educat ion D epartment. It was then carried out the following year unde r the direc tion of Frances Root. The purpose of this organization is to enlist the in terest of as many college girls as possible in athletics, hoth indoor and outdoor sports: to g ive them executive experience in hand ling the sports and in the conducting of meetings, and to foster sc hnol consciousness and school spi rit. Th is year the sports held were H it- P in hall, Volley ball, Basketball , Baseball, Track, H iking, Swimming and T ennis. In t he spring of 192 5 seventeen girls received their letters, each having won fi vc hundred points or more, Iva Reagan being the one w ith the most poi nts. There will he about t wenty-eight or thirty letters g iven this year. This year they will give four sweaters to gi rls earning one thousand points, Mary Harrison, Dor;t Woodward, Bessie Brown and Mrs. Ellis being the ones to get sweaters, and possibl y one more. The Gi rls' Athletic A ssociation sponsored a Co-ed P rom which was ve ry muc h a success. The girls did th is to get money for the pages in the Peruvian. O nl y girls were allowed to come and this was one time that t hey had a good time without the boys. T he g irls were all costumed. Needless to say, the novel event was highly enjoyed by all. H it- Pi n ball was the first sport played. Bessie Brown was Hi t-Pin ha ll leader. There were fo ur teams chose n for the tournament. M aggie M o r;u1, Elmett;t Dickerson , Eleanor H arajian and Allene Reagan were ca ptains. E!Inett<t Dickinson's team won the tou rnament. Basketball was the sport that interested most of the girls. The re were four teams chosen for the color tou rnament. M ary H arrison, Verna Pansk<t, Barbara Noerrlingcr a nd Shirley Skaden were the ca ptains. Mary H arrison's team won t he tournament. Eleanor Harajian was Basketball leader. Volley hall was the next sport. Not as many girls came out for it as for t he other sports, hut enough to compnse th ree teams. Donna M oore, Thelma D e Les D ernier a nd V erna Pen kava were the ca ptains. V erna P enkava's team won th e tournament. Ruth Ganz was Volley hall lcaJcr.

College Girls' Club The Girls路 C lub promotes friendship and good fellowshi p among the girls of Peru. The gi rls contribute to a Student Loan Fund which has made it possible for many girls to rema in in college. Of the Girls' Club teas, the C hristmas, Japanese and St. Patrick 路s were the most attractive of the year. Grandmothers in kerchiefs, dain ty dancing gi rls, q ueen of hearts, cur ious folk from wonderla nd-all there and more attended on February I\ the an nual costume party.

iVIen's Club In 1922 t he men of the school orcr;lllized themselves into a distinct organ ization known <LS the Me n 's C lub. This organ{;ation has functioned regu larly since .that time. T he object of the club is to promote the best interest and good fellowshi p among t he men of the college. It has assumed from the first a broad v iew o f student life and has stood back of every student activity as wel l as all th e school polic ies. This year t he club has had its regu lar meetings and has sponsored two hig socia l events. That the M en ·s C lub is an active organ ization is most adequ;ttely proved hy the splendid banquet it sponsored in honor of the footba ll team . This occasio n was a marked success.

The Peru Y. W. C. A. was organized in 1906, with a membership of about twelve girls. This year, due to the large increase in attendance, meetings have been held in the College Auditorium. One of the most interesting features of the year has been the series of Charm School Meetings, from which much benefit and inspiration were derived. In keeping with· the Y. W. spirit of service, .a drive was made at Christmas time for the purpose of making several needy families of Peru happy. Besides this more serious side of the work, we have met together in the soirit cf fellowship and good will for merry making. But more than all these we have enjoyed the friendship and mutual spirit of helpfulness and sympathy that has existed among the women in this college. This has indeed heen a year of united effort and inspiration to our association.

R oy C hamberlain an d \Valdo \Vtllhoft. Th e Per u affirma ti,·e team met the ar~: ument,; of Mes,;rs. Bisb y and Martin o f T arkio at every pl•int . Chamberlain played stead y and sure: \\'illhoft in clcan·up rebuttal was mercil.:,:s. The jud ges rendcrcd a unanimous decision for Pent. On February 5 the Per u negative team. ct•mposed of Chamberlain. Spa rk s ~nd Bogle. met Omaha a t Omaha. wh ile the affirmat ive team . com posed of Steph enwn. Da venpor t and Willhoft. met t he O maha negative on the h orne platform. I n the metropolis the Peru mach ine ran fo ul of an inferiorit>' complex. Omaha was calm under fire: in rebuttal it stole Peru thunder. and merited the decision of 3 to 0 in its favor . In the Per u auditor ium a di fferen t talc was wo,·cn. O m ~ h a w~xed eloquent and da r m~ti.:. Peru ig nored th e "u nsolved problems'' ~nd delivered ~ broadsid e of fa ct s a nd figure:<. O m ah~ hung a millsto ne rou n d its neck by forgetting to produce proof. A n unanimous decisio n was acco rded Peru. Wcsl ey~ n ora tors pro,·ed to be British lions in the dual on Febru~ry 26. T he Method ist affi rmative te~m d ispl ayed their p~ck of t ricks o n the P e ru pl ~ t fo r m in clever fashion. Cha m· berlain fo ught >h >' of pitfalls: Bugle wa s dauntless but modest: D~venpo r t 5pit fire . c~sreel made progress u nd er difficulties. but when H into n ~nn o unced time the scrmoni:crs had sowed and reaped. Decision. 2 to I. in favor of \V esleyan. At Uni,·ersity Place ex perience played its hand . Sparks reduced th e odd,; at th e start. The clash was forthcom ing. Stephenson ex· plained th e Const itution. but Copela nd's six year,;' expe rience got in its wo rk . W illhoft made himself mcddlemmc. hut H amilton clipped the Bobcat' s wing:: in his clean·up rebuttal. \Vcslcyan \von an una nin1ou:-: verdict.

H !l\ve,·cr. the Peru team ra n roughshod over Yor k argumen ts. and left the opponent,; with a mess of canned rebuttal th at missed aim. Davenpo rt . Bogle and Stephen son represe n ted the affirm~tive at Cotner. Tho ugh a close drhatc. the d cisio n was given to Cotner. 3 to 0 . On March ). after a mi dnight ri de from York . Will ho ft and Cham· be rl ain joined with Sparh in defcnd inr: the negative against Kearney. on the ho me stage. P eru ve rsatility had effect. In rebuttal S p~ r ks made good her case.

An unanimou ~ decision wa< given in favor of P eru . to meet the Yor k ne!(ativc team .

The York dchacle left Peru with o ne more d eb~tc lust than won. A w1n at Maryville would eve n th e count. At 10 o'cloc k. March 2-1. in the Mar yvill e audito ri u m before th e entire swdcnt body. th e Peru team consisting of W il lhoft and Chamberl ain defended the nega· ti,·c siJc of the child labor question. \Vith vctcral precision the Peruvians turned loose a broadside t hat put Mar yville o n th e defe nsive at th e start. In rebuttal the clash was uneven: Peru debaters availed them selves of their experience. anJ bewildered thei r opponents to t he d elight of the audie nce . The result was never in douht. and the 3 to 0 deci sion in favor of Peru wa,; wcll· ea r ncd.

E''ents of the Year FALL MIXER On September 19th the annual college mixer was held in the big gym. The affair was sponsored by the Christian organizations of the school, and was an informal get,together for new students. The college band played several numbers, after which games of various sorts were played. Everyone enjoyed the ice cream, cocoa, and wafers. ADANAC QUARTET The Adanac Male Quartet of Toronto, Canada, entertained the alumni and college students Friday evening, October 20, in the college auditorium. The quartet rendered grand opera, Scotch ballads, and humorous selections, and also solos, duets, and quartet numbers. This quartet came to Peru with the reputation of being one of the best male quartets performing in the United States and they certainly sustained that reputation. HOMECOMING DAY Homecoming Day at Peru this year was greater than ever before, in spite of the heavy snow and bad roads. The Homecoming program was well planned and carried out. Students and faculty conspired to make the day long remembered. The Bobcats caught the spirit and each one on the team played a game that sent a real thrill through the old veter, ans who witnessed it. In the evening the Peru Dramatic Club presented to a full house three very · · d en tertai· ning c1ever one,act plays that were very amusmg an . · The Dramatic Club may indeed feel proud of the evening's entertainment which they p~esented. Following the plays, and as a climax to the great day, the e?ttre student hody, faculty, alumni and college friends, were entertained at ~ Hallowe. en party and feed at Mount Vernon Hall. We voted this year's Homecommg a dectded success. COLLEGE ORPHEUM An informal no,curtain play, .. In the Music Store," written by Prof. E. C. Beck, was presented as the annual college Orpheum, December 3rd in the auditorium. The setting was in a music store. The proprietors of the store were the two Jews, Glickstein, played by Marty Craig, and his son Ikey, played by John Miller. These interesting characters carried on an amusing conversation between themselves, arguing the relative values of classical and popular music. Customers came in to huy music, and gave selected numbers. Professor Jindra, the eccentric master of the .. fiddle,·· and his wife, Marion Marsh ' surely made a hit with the audience, to say nothing of the .. Peruvadors," College and Faculty Quartets, Ukelele Girls, the Classical Artistes, and the Harmonica Wizard.

FOOTBALL BANQUET Twcnty·two focltball letter men and about two hundred of their admirers met in the annual football banquet on December 18th in the High School gymnasium. Toasts were given by Captain Higgins, Captain-elect Wilbert Zorn, Coach Graf, Dr. L. B. Shreve, and President Pate. The banquet consists of four courses as follows: cocktail and Nabisco; roast pork, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, canned peas, cranberry sauce, salad, rolls; Bobcat special and cake; coffee and mints. Everyone enjoyed the evening and were grateful to the Men's Club for sponsoring the affair. RURAL LIFE CLUB PLAY The Rural Life Club gave a play entitled .. Adam and Eva" on the 1Hh of Janu· ary. This play was given under the direction of Miss Chloe Baldridge, sponsor of the club, and Kenton Poynter. The Rural Life Club is a new organization on the campus, and also one of the most active. The audience was indeed well pleased with the performance. GIRLS' CLUB CONCERT The Chautauqua Concert Company under the direction of H. 0. Fergeson pre· scnted a very interesting musical program the evening of April 8th in the auditorium. This company was brought to Peru by the Girls' Club of the college, the proceeds of which performance went to the support of the Student Loan Fund. The program consisted of sextet, quartet and solo numbers. After the concert the members of the company were entertained in the faculty room by members of the Girls' Club. DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY "The Taming of the Shrew," the annual play given by the Dramatic Club, was a grand success on April 1st. The remark was made that if Shakespeare could have witnessed the presentation of his play he would undoubtedly have been well pleased. Much credit is to be given to Miss Nelly Mendham, the director of the play and sponsor of the club. The seven hundred persons who witnessed the performance were very well pleased and left the building with a determination to boost for the Dramatic Club. EVERETT PLAY Friday evening, April 16th, the Everett Literary Society presented .. Miss Lula Bett," a popular drama by Zona Gale. The portrayal of the characters was admir· ably handled by all who took part in the play. The society is to he commended on the successful presentation of this high class entertainment.

The new and unusual-that sparkling reality which is known as the life of each school year-is caught and held forever within the pages of Bureau built annuals. The ability to assist in making permanent such delight· ful bits of class spontaneity rests in an organization of creative artists guided by some 17 years of College Annual work, which experience is the knowledge of balance and taste and the fitness of doing things well. In the finest year books of American Colleges the sincerity and genu· ineness of Bureau Engraving quality instantly impresses one. They are class records that will live forever.

Too soon. it seems. to sec Those gentle hands outstretched and still, That toiled so hard for me. My waking thoughts had been of one Who now to sleep had dropped; 'Twas hard to realize. oh. friend. My Inger~oll had stopped.

Dr. Shreve had just pulled out a nice sunfish. and noticed that it had swallowed the hook. "Now," he cautioned in his amiable tone. "this is going to hurt just a little."
