New Peru College Song 1 Written by Steck 1~~ .
A desire to give Peru a song to stand beside the color song, led Professor G. Holt Steck to write the following song: PERU LOYALTY We sing a song for old Peru, We sing a song for Blue and White We sing a song with hearts so true. We sing a song that echoes thru the night. On the campus when the day is done We'll be singing for the victory won, For the college varsity, For the Boys in Blue. Rah! Rah! Rah! Fight, fight. fight, fight; go, go, go, go That's what we do. Sing, sing, sing, sing; yell, yell, yell yellFor old Peru. Rah! Rah! We sing a song for old Peru, We sing a song for White and Blue, We sing a song for friendships true, Among the hills of old Peru. -G. H. Steck.
HOME COMING PLAY CAST CHOSEN "Through the Keyhole," a comedy in three acts, will be presented as the Homecoming play this fall, under the general direction of Professor Moore. A sophisticated, subtle type of humor prevails in this comedY, with plenty of laughs for all. The play is well balanced giving each actoi· or actress an equr>,1. chsnce to prove his or her ability. Mary Kathryn Hanlon is the assistant director. The stage and lighting effects will be in charge of Charles Parnell. The cast, chosen through try-outs, is as follows: Genev1eve · Van Camp .

TO OPEN PROGRAM Once again grads of Peru can hear the bell that has called Peruvians to classes for 70 years. For the bell is being used to open Peru's weekly broadcast over KMA. The history of the bell is one of tradition and service. The first bell used on the campus cost $3.00 and cracked during the winter. So the students of Peru had a chicken supper to raise money for a new bell. The girls cooked-and the boys picked and i'led. After the feathers had settled they found they had made $6. However, subscriptions raised the fund to $125 · and the bell was bought from Meneely and Company of Troy, New York, in 1867. Today, in 1937, that same bell peals forth at stated interals. The bell that nnounced your fathers'. your classes 8.nd will be announcing for your posterity is now on the air. So now, at the sound of the bell-it will be 8:30 p. m. every Tuesday night.

By Junius "Caesar" Mccowan Nice Going Bobcats! Although the score indicated a tie game it was a moral victory for you, and for the school. Last year when Maryville came to Peru to do battle they brought with them about sixty, (60), (LX), men, Last year the score was 24-8 in Maryville's favor. This year you had to play on their field, play some of their veterans who participated in last year's victory and play with only two weeks practice behind you.

Friday, October 1, will be the first home game for Peru. The game, which will be called at 8: 00, is with Doane College of Crete, Nebraska. Doane started its season with a smashing 52-0 victory over Regis. While Peru was battling Maryville Bearcats to a 6-6 tie on the same week end. On the basis of these scores, the sports writers have ventured a prediction of another 0-0 tie for Friday night's game. The score last year was 0-0. However, Pedagogian sportsters predict a one touchdown victory for Peru, with the score being 13-7. Friday is your first chance to live up to this year's slogan-"Come and See the Bobcats Battle". So Come-Look -and Yell for Peru.

Chorus i\,uditions The new system of no formal auditions has brought ninety-three students into the chorus. From this number those not caring to go on will eliminate themselves merely by dropping out. This plan is similar to the one used in athletics. All are given an opportunity and the chorus will be chosen from those wishing to continue: The new procedure was adopted so that there would be fewer possibilities of losing valuable material because of faulty auditions.

NEW ENGLISH
100
TEACHER ELECTED Mrs. Albert, who did her graduate work at the University of Nebraska, has been selected to teach English 100 this year. The practice of hiring a graduate is a new policy at Peru. The reason for the change from student to graduate is that the English department feels that English 100 students need special instruction. A student teacher, it is ~lieved, does not have the time necessary for the special instruction.

An idea is born-"Freshman Singers" might profitably be organized from the new freshman vocal prospects as a preparatory step to joining the varsity ''Peru Singers." This idea is being considered in hope that it will aetract more freshman male talent to the singing group. Band and Orchestra Prospects Good Encouraging-that's the word for the outlook of this year's band and orchestra work. New material includes: Mildred Knoflicek of Plattsmouth, who llas won several superiors at state and M-I-N-K contests; Marian Johnson of Omaha, also a superior ranking individual and a host of other excellent musicians. A trio composed of Mildred Knoflieek, violin; Marian Johnson, cello, and Vivian McKimmey, piano, is scheduled to make its debut on the air soon as the college trio. A concert by the orchestra and band as a budget event this first semester is being considered.

Mildred Knoflicek very ably filled Dorothy Coatney's place, the latter being away at the time. All accompaniments were played t>y Mr. Benford, who took the students participating, in his car. The group performed during both the afternoon and evening and were well received by the audiences.
Broa~cast Program
Features Pep Rally Grads Respond to Broadcasts The radio program presented Tuesday evening, October 12, is being broadcast from the auditorium. It is in the form of a pep rally, and everyone is in-. vited to attend. The band is being featured this week. President Pate is extending a welcome to the Homecomers. "Rusty" will be there in person. Yells and pep songs will give the students and faculty an opportunity to participate in the program. This should prove to be one of the most enjoyable broadcasts of the year. In response to Peru's radio bro;J.dcasts, several telegrams, and many cards and letters have been received. Most of these letters are from alumni of Peru, who are glad to have the opportunity of hearing the old bell pealonce again. These letters are filled with favorable criticisms and helpful suggestions as to how to improve the programs. Everyone in connection with the production of these programs is very much pleased with the splendid reaction on the part of the radio listeners. Here is a partial list of people who have helped contribute to the fan mail, together with several excerpts from their messages: Harry Sopher, TYrone, Oklahoma. Marie Carper, Syracuse, Nebraska"Your program was grand. Everything came in just swell." Gretchen Miller, Hamburg, Iowa"Youan are doing a ·great tlilng for Peru in broadcasting." 'Ihomas F.

SHORTHAND CLASS VISITS COURT The fact that part of the commerce department went to court ls not so disturbing when explained, because they didn't go to sue and prosecute but to look and listen. Groups of the advanced shorthand class attended District court at Auburn last week. Miss Palmer said, "It is worth while for anyone to visit court and see court

The picture, Peru State Normal's first football team organized ,in 1887, is shown above, with Mr. Crownover, who played fullback, third from the left in the bottom row. The bearded gentleman in the center ; 0 the rear row was the ,referee. Mr. Crownover doesn't remember the names of many of the men in the picture, but he'd like to have them if any otie,knows who they are. This Peru football team was organized 50 years ago, before the University of Nebraska had a football team.-News-Press Engraving. .

The following article, re-printed from tht Falls City Journal, is about a former Peru student, on the campus during 1934-3B. Mrs. Ogle will be remembered here as Edith Mitchell. While attending Peru she received the Kappa Deta Pi mention as the freshman student most likely to succeed professionally. She held a scholarship from Falls City and played violin in the college orchestra. Falling from a load of corn fodder, Mrs. Forrest Ogle, 20-year-old bride of a few months, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon in the Dawson vicinity. Mrs. Ogle tumbled from atop the load of fodder when the car driven by her husband negotiated a corner at the Bethany church, five miles south of Dawson. Hearing his wife's body strike the ground, Ogle immediately stopped his machine, picked her up and carried her . mto Rev. D. H. Sill's parsonage. Dr. Ernest Lennemanna was summoned from Dawson and he announce•:! after an examiation that Mrs. Ogle had suffered a broken neck. The accident happened about 4 o'clock and three hours later, Mrs. Ogle passed away.

Interesting things happened behind the scenes at last T.;esday evening's broadcast. At the most inopportune time, Miss Knoflicek's violin string broke just a minute before she was due to go on the air. However, Mr. Jindra came to the rescue and loaned her his violin which was tuned and ready to go. Hanging out the sign, "Do not disturb," the editor of the Pedagogian of the Air, Miss Julia Jean Plasters, fell asleep immediately after her part of the program. Broadcasting must be very tiring when it is possible to fall asleep in the studio while a good program is going on about you.

eru Homecoming Spirit Unchecked By Rain DECORATIONS BEDECK ENTIRE CAMPUS Cheery greetings, hearty handshakes and back-slapping prevailed this week end when the "old grads" came back once more for Homecoming. Although the weather was inclement, and the attendance thus somewhat smaller than usual, everyone that came had the 'usual enjoyable time. The campus was festively arrayed in streamers and penants; Peru's blue and white mingled with the yellow and b.rown of Wesleyan. Those who st.syed at the Dorm were very 1)1Pa$ed to see the li'l'hted welcome 5l~r; abow t!,e steps of Eliza Mo~gan Hall One of the oustanding features, proved to be "Coffin Corner" This was situated in the center of the campus, and was in the form of a graveyard for Wesleyan. There was a tombstone for each player on Wesleyan's first team with a suitable epitaph for each one. Here is the lineup in "Coffin Corner": "Dead End". Wotipka; "Tickled to Death," Ellis; "Caught Off Guard", McNickle; "Coffee Cooled", Critchfield; "Expired", Breasch; "Kicked Off,'' Lay; "Gone Wit!J. the Wind," Williams; "Quartered and Halved," Davies; "Deceased," Bradley; "Passed Out," Burroughs; and "Death Penalty", Ralston. The Bobcat, the college. mascot, was not frogotten either. His cage was gay!y decorated with the letters P. S. 'I'. c. in blue and white. Friday night an enthusiastic group of students and alumni led by the band marched to the business section of Peru, and held a pep rally. After yelling and singing around the big bonfire. the students and former students went to the Music Hall to dance. It was~necessary to transfer the dance to the gymnasium in order to accommodate the large crowd. The alumni registered in the college office Saturday morning. Although many failed to register, there were 68 names in the book. Some came from as far as Chicago, Illinois. About onehalf of the 1938 graduating class was here, but there was only on~ representative from the class of 1897. This was M. A. Sams, who now lives in Lincoln. Saturday afternoon at the football game between Wesleyan and Peru, golden footballs dangled from everyone's lapel and blue feathers protruded from everyone's hat. Many came through the chilly downpour wrapped in cellophane, and others sat huddled together with blankets on their shoulder to watch the muddy struggle. The rain did not dampen the school spirit in the least, and the peppy crowd was overjoyed when Peru "got Wesleyan's goat." Saturday evening the Dramatic Club presented the comedy "Through the Keyhole," which furnished real enthusiasm for everybody. The climax of the Homecoming activ!ties was reached when many went to the gymnasium to dance to the muof Dave Haun and his orchest!'a

DORM INITIATION NOT SO SEVERE "Dorm initiations ain't what they used to be." That was the opinion of the alumni upon looking over the limitat!ons laid down by the "unmerciful" council members for freshmen girls from October 12 to 13. The unruoghed martyrs, attired in unbelted print dresses struggled with suitcases in the dorm and were ordered to keep complete silence upon the campus. Some braids appeared but made a hasty retreat. A few girls ate bread and gravy from Chairs while others mounted ladders to vocalize. The annual date night was well attended by the man-hunting females with their booty.

team. Keep in stride and Kan Kearney. Facts. Football is one of the oldest outdoor sports. Augustus Caesar saw football played. President Theo. Roosevelt helped to make football rules to keep the game from being ruled out. The rules were to make football safer. The term "gridiron" originated from the way football fields were marked off. Fields used to be marked off in squares ten yards in each direction. President Woodrow Wilson played football and later coached a university team. Football was once a game of kicking-and it was against the .rules of the game to run with the ball. The first running play was a mistake which had to be apologized for. William Webb became excited in a game and ran with the ball. The center of a football team used to pass the ball with" his foot.

FIGHT! that's what it's going to be Friday night when the Peru Bobcats, who by the way seem to have grown a new set of claws, meet the Kearney eleven, who are l'lnder the direction of "Pop" Kline. You should remember him from last year's basketball game. This football game should be a hard fought game, as the Bobcats will attempt to atone for the slashing 59-0 defeat of last year. The rivalry between the two schools plays an important part in every contest, as it seems to date back to "away back when". Kearney has won two games this year defeating McPhearson, Kansas, and St. Regis, Colorado. They lost to Hasting 13-6 and tied Wayne 7-7. Glance over the following results of clashes of years gone by and with a little reading between lines you will see reason for the fight next Friday.

Fowler Buys Interest In Peru Pointer After six years of teaching among the Santee Indians in Santee, Mr. Millard Fowler, former Peru student and Pedagogian editor, returned last summer to manage the Peru Pointer printing office which prints the Peru college paper as well as the Pointer. As evidences of his. good work in the Indian country .. Mr. Fowler brought with him contracts to publish two Inlian monthly papers. from the Rosebud country, as well as contracts for other job printing. Mr. Fowler in his six year stay among the Indians acquired a fair understanding of the Santee Indian language which especially qualifies him to do printing for the Santees. One of Mr. Fowler's outstanding accomplishments in printing among the Indians, was the publication of "The Niobrary Deanery's Episcopal service !look of Common Prayer." The book is bound in blue leather with a large gilded title, containing both English and Dakota prayers. Mr. Fowler has an excellent coaching ncord also, his team has won it~ dJ~ trict basketball championship .for. four years, going to the state finals l!l '35. One of his former players is now playing with the Haskell Indians. Discontinuation of the private school system, under which Mr. Fowler was employed, was the cause of his leaving the Indian country. The government is now establishing day schools for the Indians on the reservations. Mr. Fowler obtained his printing equipment from the school in ':'!l1ich he ;10rk~rl. While attending Peru, Mr. Fowler served for three years on the Pedagogian staff, holding both the position of editor and business manager. "I don't mind teaching, but I guess I am Just a printer at heart," said Mr. Fowler, when asked why he did not seek a teaching position. Herbert Graves, who attended Peru in 1934-'35, and '35-'36 and was a member of ·the Pedagogian staff is taking a business administration course at Fresno, California this year.

Kearney Antelopes Defeat Fighting Peru Bobcats Blocked Punts Prove Peru's Downfall Blocked punts caused a stubborn band of Peru Bobcats Friday to lose to a superior Kearney Antelope football team by a 14-0 score. Time after time Kearney drove down the field, only to be stopped by fumble or a sudden holding of the Peru line. Majors would then kick Peru out of danger and Kearney would repeat their gain. Kearney's first touchdown was the result of a long march down the field. Lewis scored from the Peru 3. The kick for point was wide. The half ended with Kearney leading 6-0. In the second half Kearney was unable to score until Hale blocked one of Major's punts. The ball oozed from player to player before Hester fell on it for a touchdown. The try for point was again wide. A little later Harwager blocked another of Majors' punts, the ball bounding through the end-zone for a safety. Final score, Peru 0, Kearney 14. Although three of Majors punts were blocked, Tommy did a grand job of punting. Hi~ kicks averaged 40 yards and he coffin-cornered a 35-yd boot on the Kearney 8. Peru's second stringers staged a belated rally with Majors heaving passes and McHugh hitting the line. They marched 60 yards in six plays. Adams, Punches, Greathouse, Douglao, and Greene looked best for Peru. While Hale, Lewis, and Morrow were cut;;landing for Kearney.
NOTICE There will be no Pedagogian next week due t.o Teachers Convention. The next issue of the Pedagogian will be November 9.
PERU TO HAVE DEBATE TEAM Debate will be put upon Peru's map this year, but neither the map nor the work will be of the "relief" type. A debate class, in which the fundamentals will be studied will begin this week. In from· four to six weeks, tryouts for positions on the team will be held. One does not ha\fe to be a member of the class, nor does he need to have had any previous experience to take part in debate, and all who are intensely interested will be allowed to participate. Several trips will be made, and a few tournaments attended. Debate will be under the direction of Professor Moore. Due to the past success of Mr. Moore in coaching debate, and to an increased number of students interested in the subject this year, Peru is looking to a prosperous season in this field.

New Certification Law Affects Peru Students Affecting vitally every aspiring teacher, the new certification law passed by the last Nebraska Legislature will go into actual enforcement in September, 1938. The new law takes the privilege of granting teachers' certificates out of the hands of the colleges, and places the duty of certification upon the shoulders of the State Superintendent. That means the applicant must be recommended by the faculty of the college attended, to the state normal board, which in turn recommends the individual to the State Superintendent for the granting of the certificate. Another new principle included in the law is the absolute necessit:y: !or practice teaching by rural school teachers working for the general elementary certificate earned by 30 hours of college work. Beginning next September they must do three hours of practice teaching. This will requil'e a new '·~t up on the Peru campus, as rural students have not been required to do practice teaching heretofore. Junior high school teachers of the future will be granted a "three year" senior elemeritary certificate for ~ hours of college work and three hours of practice teaching presented. All universities, state and denominational schools in Nebraska will abide by the terms of the new legislation. Of course, this law will not affect any student already working for a teaching certificate before September, 1938.
PERU MEN PLAN FOR FORMAL Hurrah! Peru men are at last going to have a formal. Plans are under way to have the formal sometime next semester. This will be "step-one" in the men's attempt to "menize" the school. A letter from the Dean was read at Men's club, in which he urged the men to "Back Baller in the field work." T'he Dean said: "I doubt whether there ever was one single advertizing scheme that was so effective and far Elaine Eddy was elected president reaching as this broadcasting scheme instituted by Mr. Baller." The letter of Peru Players at the meeting held continued giving a bit of advice. "keep Thursday night, October 14. The other the dormitory and the ladies rooming houses parlors purely social and not lounging places on Sundays. Much is to be gained in the social con tacts." PERUVIAN PICTURE. TAKING TO START. Picture taking for the 1938 PERUVIAN will begin the first week after vacation. It is most important that students have their pictures taken as soon as possible, as the time will be definitely limited. Be sure to watch ,for announcements concerning picture taking. Plan to make a deposit on your 1988 PERUVIAN when you have your picture taken.

"I noticed the prepanderance of blonds," Mrs. Marsh, girls' dormitory assistant, mythically quoted, "because there were so many people's names I couldn't remember; there were 80 many blonds this fall that they all looked the same to me."

To prove th.at Jerry fits our ideal we must delve into the fields of mathematics and prove the problem geometrically. Problem: l's Jerome Snyder of Aprapa'hoe the ideal husband of Peru's broadcast program?

Anyone can see the big things-it's the· e~ceptional person that sees the small odds and ends. Conclusion: We believe that Jerry's fine traits are assurity of Texas. success in the broadcasts and in his future work. In 1927-28 Elton Reinmiller was

Dramatic Club Changes Discussed
SNOW COVERS PERU CAMPUS
A reorga,nization committee, appointed by the Alpha Psi Omega, com posed of Harold Prichard, Robert Weber and ~1arie Wieneke, met last Tuesday and discussed plans for discrganizing the present Peru Dramatic
Today is cold: old Sol has retired But not to sleep; He Is shaking his feather bed, J<>reeing the delicate feathers Which sail lightly to earth Iii forms of snow fiakes.
Cll:h.
In its place, members of Peru Dramatic Olub would become pledges of the Alpha Psi Omega fraternity. This new aiTangement would save a great deal of time and duplication of effort. It was considered last year, as a possibility for the near future, but no action was taken on the plan.
Thickly they fall, carefully, daintly Dodging each other-the heavenly feathers; When the bed is shaken, its contents emptied, Old Sol, who retired early this morning, May appear to gaze on a world White with snow, freshly laid and deep. "Oh, snow! How grand!" were the exclamations made by the excited stu.dents Of the ca:n1Jus last week with the season's first snow storm. Thursday morning snow suits, boots, stocking caps and ear m11ffs appeared on the campus in considerable numbers. Snow togs were not the only sign that winter was upon us. With the snow there cam11 Peru's inevitable slic.k side walks and the accompanying tumbles. People walked as if there were eggs, instead of snow flakes, beneath their feet. Now and then there was "one down and ten to go," as some one's shoes failed to find solid footing. Every one is looking forward to more snow and cold weather. "I can hardly wait for ice skating", "Do you remember our coasting parties of last winter?" "How soon do you suppose we can coast?" are the eager questions heard on the campus now. Yes snow Is fun. People will enjoy the newness of it for three winter mon,ths;then wlE came tllp longing fOJ.1 spring and away with the snow.

Gilkeson Talks To Omaha Teachers Coach Gilkeson prest •. ;ed a talk on "New Thoughts in Physical Education" to the physical education teachers of the Omaha public schools at Central High cafeteria, Thursday evening, November 18. Mr. Gilkeson spoke on the greater emphais that is being placed on health education in connection with physical education. The physical education teacher of today needs to be able to teach health. Next, Mr. Gilkeson spoke on new ideas in regard to physical education classes in meeting certain standards. That is, in the future it is the plan to introduce fewer activities and raise the standards, rather than introduce many activities and lower . the standards in each activity. In conclusion, Mr. Gilkeson spoke on the new national curriculum of physical education. This curriculum has been recently developed, and is the result of nine years of research on th part of outstanding leaders in the field of physical education.

Several former students and a number of faculty members were present. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served during the evening. The music for dancing was furnished by an electric phonograph.

necessary in seeking a career can best be brought out by comparing the game of life to the game of football. As the athlete must train to play the 60 minutes of hard football, so must the individual going out into the world train to fight-maybe 60 years; As the athlete must play according to the rules be penalized, so must the individual going out into the world play according to the rules or be penalized; as football is a game in which teamwork is essential, so in life must an individ .. ual work with his fellow man;"· said speaker Armstrong. Toastmaster Frederick Wolter, called on "Stew" Baller to give a toast. Coach Baller brought out the point that a football man must' assume a responsibility and must bear in mind at all times, when he wears his letter sweater; Sportmanship, Honor, Fair Play, Clean Living, and a 70 year Tradition. Coach Gilkeson then piesented to the people those receiving letters for the first time. They were: McHug·h, McGinley, Adams, Velvick, Purucker, Stark, Boyer and Majors. Those receiving· second letters were: Hall, Barisas, BrWgewater, Mosely, Green and Greathouse. Third letters went to: Mort, Douglas, Pugh, Nelson, and Shields; Fourth letter to: Joel Punches. Those 'eniors having played their last game for Pern were: Barisas, Pugh, Star!:, Douglas and Punches. Coach Gilkeson stated that aside from a few bad beaks and a few boners he was satisfied with the results of the team. Entertainment was furnished by the girls trio, composed of Katherine Bartling, Blanche Freeman and Margery Evans. Eleanor Nieman accompanied them at the piano. Burton Evans, assisted by the trio, sang "Blue Indigo".

FAMILY TRADITIONS ENLIVEN CHRISTMAS With the approach of the Christmas season, the spirit of giving and ~eceiving permeates the atmosphere. Every family observes Christmas in its own way. There is usually a family tradition which is carried out from ytar to year.
"Sunday, Miss )llen (owner of the hotel) and Mr. Jim (her brother, and member of the school board) took me trout fishing approximately two and (>ne half miles from town. We hiked out and back. Jim chopped holes in the ice; then we stood over the holes with six-foot lines baited with beef steak. As we slowly pulled the lines up and down in th·~ water the fish would grab. You could see them play and take the fatal bite. I caught 18 and the quota for one person is 20, so I felt quite the "fisherlady".

Dr. Harajian quoted Sup't Sutton of Atlanta, Ga., to show the relationship between poor teeth and poor school work, and also how the care of the teeth will improve the health and character of an individual who has neglected his teeth. By the use of pictures the process of tooth decay was shown and the importance of tooth care was stressed. Dr. Harajian said, "There is a belief that baby teeth have no roots and merely drop out when the permanent teeth are ready to come through. This is an erroneous notion." He continuerl, "Baby teeth do have roots but they are absorbed and pushed out by permanent teeth. Therefore, it is important to take care of baby teeth until they are forced out by the permanent teeth because, if allowed to decay, the roots are not absorbed and remain as pegs to hamper the growth of the permanent teeth." Dr. Harajian said that the parsky which is used as a garnish should be eaten because it contains vitamins which are good for the teeth. He also said that fruits are helpful to teeth. He ranked toothbrushes and toothpastes as retarders but not as preven~; tatives of tooth decay. In closing, Dr. Harajian gave three points as the formula for having good teeth. They are as follows: (1) Early

STUART "STU'' BALLER While the theme of the week is battles, we wish to pay tribute to one who is advancing the fighting Bobcats-Stuart "Stu" Baller, basketball coach. Coach Baller and his '37 team brought a co-championship to Peru basketball fans. This year he is headed for sole possession of the title. We think he has the material-and we know he is the man for such material. Beside his coaching duties Baller has become extension director. In this position he has introduced new methods of making Peru attactive to possible students. He not only interests prospective students but grads as well. For example, we present the Peru hour and the broadcast of football and basketball games.

News reporter-Nellie Spers During the Christmas holidays our family attended a Golden Wedding Anniversary in Los Angeles-the bride and Mrs. Taylor both are cousins of my husband's mother. Mrs. 'I'aylor was delighted to learn that I was a former Peruvian. I was plied with questions by that lady and also by Mrs. Ilma Kennedy Bickle of Greeley, Colorado, formerly of Brownville graduate of 1910, and Mrs. Iris Bickle Reeder of Kimball, Nebraska, who attended school in Peru. They were interested in the many changes in the campus and regretted that it had been necessary to completely demolish the old Normal Hall which held recollections for each. Mrs. Taylor recalled holding classes there, and the use of the Everett Room for dramatics; also the construction of the Library with the "Little Theatre" as an inducement for her to remain at Peru rather than affiliate herself with Kearney College. She asked of many Peru people and especially of Dean Delzell and Miss Esther Clark with whom she taught. Iris Bickle Reeder remembered almost ruining her voice singing in the old chapel with it lack of acoustics.

PERUVIAN SNAPS FACULTY FACES Mr. Peterson, the PERUVIAN photographer, is now busy taking informal photographs of faculty members for the Faculty Section of the 1938 PERUVIAN. A wholly new and di.fierent Faculty Section is being planned for this year's PERUVIAN, in which informality will be· the theme. Organization pages for the 1938 PERUVIAN are being planned. Here, too, informality will be the theme. The staff is working on plans to include informal group pictures, as well as paneled groups, on organizatiol! pages. The beginning· of the second semester will bring with it a concentrated sales and advertising campaign. Various contests to create an interest in the book will be introduced. It is planned to have a PERUVIAN table in the faculty room during registration so that all those who wish can reserve their Peruvians at that time. Peru, Auburn, Nebraska City, and portions of Lincoln and Omaha will b~ canvassed for advertising during the next two months. The advertising Bt'Ction has been "pepped-up" so that advertising will carry a new life and interest to the readers. The theme of it all, from the business end, is to make everyone· concerned "PERUVIAN CONSCIOUS" andi to produce the best annual that has ever been turned out at Peru. REGISTRATION
Registration for the second semester will begin at eight o'clock Monday morning January 24. The doors of the auditorium will open at 7:45. With the exception of a few minor changes the schedule for the new semester is as published in the catalogue.

DRAM'\.TIC CLUB SHOWS.NEW PEP Stop the presses! A world record has been broken- The usually slow parlimentary procedure became a whirlwind when nine different types of business were disposed of and six com mittees were appointed in twenty-five minutes at the last meeting of the , Dramatic Club. Rejuvenation after the separation from Alpha Psi Omega seemed to be the motif of the meeting. Whiz-BangWon't-Weaken-Werner, the new President, took charge, after which the members decided that they would take charge, too-of some change. It was discovered that it costs the club twenty cents a player to make up individuals for plays, so the group decided to face the situation, and charge ten cents a head. The members did not feel that they should engage in the garter business and be a suporter for other campus g-roups, so th;y decided that a nominal fee will, also, be asked as rental for cost.umes used by other organizations. That took most of the time, but so·m rhe business rame and disappeared like snow on a defrosted windshield. A committee was appointed to draw U,l a constitution and by-laws, volunters were readily enlisted for choral reading a la Wieneke and for plays by Director Ficher, a plan was agreed! for the request of a co-sponsor, a celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of D. C. next fall was discussed, and the formalities at last passed which completed the separation from the fra ternity.
Peru Students .Judge Debates Assuming a debate judge's wig apparently isn't so easy according to members of Professor Moore's debate class who judged five rounds of high school debate at the Auburn High school at Auburn, Nebraska, Saturday, January 15. "Hardest work we've attempted in a long time," was the mass verdict of the student chairmen, "But it was a lotta fun." George Grossoheme,, Ruth Crone, Thomas Chinnock, Maxine Gailbrath, Mary Lizabeth Werner .and Professor Moore ruled descisions between Auburn, Plattsmouth, Sabetha, Nebraska City and Beatrice high school debate teams. The high school question this year deals with whether several states in the union should adopt the unicameral school teams won the majority of the system of legislation. Auburn high descisionns.

This Friday finds the Bobcats completing the semester by frolicking with a team of "has beens." Said "has beens," from past experience, promise to give Baller"s boys a stiff workout. Friday night will be your chance to see those graduates whose name& are history at Peru. Seniors can ..become "young" again as they watch their old favorites sprint up an1i down the floor. For fun and enjoyment we advise you to attend the game between Peruvians of this year and Peruvians of other years. The graduates this year will find they are up against one of the strongest teams in Peru history. A well-balanced team; a tall team; a fast team and a. fighting team. So far this team has not met defeat. Sport writers predict one defeat during the season. Let's hope they are wrong-we want an undefeated season. From now on the team is at full strength, as Mcintyre, Miller and Dean will be eligible next week.

BOBKITTENS DEFEAT NEB. CITY QUINTET

Although Leonard Bell's Peru Bobkittens finally gained a 25 to 21 decision at Nebraska City Friday/ nig·h.t, Bill Ossian's N. C. H. S. kids perked up a bit from previous performances and the result kept a capacity crowd in Junior High gym on its feet during the last two quarters. Playing their best game of the season, Nebraska City started slowly but finished with a bang. Only the eagle eye of a stocky guard named Pugh kept Nebraska City from a victory. Pugh caged four f).elders when the Kittens needed them badly in the second half. With Adair,s <tnd Le~,hy showing the way, the Kittens took an early lead, saw it whittled into a 4-all deadlock at the end of the first quarter and tl:u.

Refreshed by the rest period a rejuvenated Nebraska City quintet took to the floor for the second half. While the de·fense held the hard-driving Peru kids to four points, Eglsaer, Williams and Kastner began the overhauling process. Williams, celebrating his return to the lineup, contributed a fielder and a gift toss when Leahy fouled him. The pace quickened at the start of the final quarter, but stellar defensive play by both clubs kept the ·first four minutes scoreless. Metz broke 100~0 for a dribble-in to slice the margin to one point. Then Pugh began his game-winning spree, although it was a scoring duel between him and Carpenter, Nebraska

"People hide their eyes at t!ie mention of sex, but there is nothing .ibout it indecent or vulgar, except for tne abuse of it, just as their is indecency in abuse of anything. Sex, itself, is holy, and sacred. "There are three venereal disea~es in Nebraska: soft ulcer, gono!Thea and syphilis. In the tropics there are more. One of these will not develop into another, but it is possible to have two or more at the same time. "If it were not in respect for the feelings of the survivors of the dead, syphilis would lead all diseases as a killer. It causes blincliness, deafness; it attacks the liver and the spleen; it causes many of ths so-called heart diseases and sofetening of the brain. "Every year there are fifty thousand of still-born infants due to the i'tffiiction of the parents with syphilis, and 100,000 who are blind or deaf. Eighty-five per cent of expectant mothers who do not have treatment have children who are in some way abnormal. "Syphilis can be cured," he declared. Dr. Zirnmeror concluded the lecture by showing a group of pictures of syphi!is.

Gilkeson shook hands with himself as his quick-thinking boys entered the game from their various seats among the spectators. Those who had hurridly sat in the pep section wished they had left their wives at home. However, their coach was grateful to see they were in the fray as soon as they could tear themselves away from autogra!}h seekers (in Peru?).

MINK Debate Set For March 4 and 5 RESOLVED: That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of Legislation. This is the subject to be debated at the MINK Debate Toumament which is to be held on Peru's Campus on March 4 and 5. Thomas Chinnock of DeWitt is the student· manager of the Tournament Last year there were debate teams from most of the neighboring towns and this year it is expected that there will be a larger number entered. -----Added Library Hour P V l bl roves a ua e Peru students have been granted an additional hour to study in the library from five until six .P· m. After the Student AdVisory Council submitted the request to the president, a study was made of the hourly attendance in the library over a period of a month. Miss Peterson computed the following figures: 8:00 .................... 21.93 9:00 .................... 35.94 10:00 33.47 11:00 27.87 1:00 39.74 2:00 .................... 49.15 3:00 .................... 42.36 4:00 ................... 34.38 7:00 .................... 25.69 8:00 .................... 37.06 Before opening the library at that hour President Pate asked all those who would use it then to sign up, so that they ·.vould know if there were enough to justify keeping it open. Sixty-three indicated that they would take advantage of this oppor- · tunity. However, only twenty-five of those people had been in the library at that time by Thursday, but about fortytwo people altogether had been in both Tuesday and Wednesday. Others are finding that extra time unexpectedly advantageous. A num ber of appreciative remarks have been made about it. It is somewhat of an experiment to see how long that interest will last. In the meantime, instructors are expecting better prepared lessons. Christian Groups Plan For Conference "Listen!" "It's in the air!" Don't you hear " "Y. w. c. A. and Y. M. C. A. conference is coming!" Y. T. Wu, an eminent Christian youth leader, was the principle speaker in 1937. He had formerly served outstandingly for ten years in the Chinese Customs Service. Having been in this service that long he decided to devote his entire life to Christian service. Prominent mm _like Y. T. Wu give interesting talks each year. Instructions are given to the omcers concerning their work as leaders of the local groups. Peru State Teachers College will be host this year to the conference, which is held annually on the campus of some school in the state of Nebraska. Every Y. W. C. A:, and Y. Y.. 0. A. organization in the state is invited.
FLO AND JOE DO
TUMBLING ACT "Stu" Baller Urges United Team Support Erwin Juilfs presented his rascals in a pep program at Friday's convocation, His rascals were composed of the college band under Jack Hazelton's leadership and the tumbling team of Flo and Joe. The band opened the program and were followed by a tumbling· act in which Flo (Clark Finney) from the W. A. A. and Husky Joe (Gilbert Purucker) from the physical education department figured prominently. With a ft.utter of feminine charms Flo introduced "Stu", who spoke of the basketball games of the week end. "What the boys do in the next week will in my mind determine just what kind of a team we have," he stated. "Denominational schools are giving their best wishes to Doane tonight for as yet no denominational college has won a game from a state college." "For the last four years," he continued, "Marvel 6' 6" giant of Hastings has competed with our own Dean McCormick, who stands 6' 4" in his own stockings. Last year Marvel, without a doubt, out played McCormick; at Hastings it was the reverse." Tomorrow night they meet each other for the last time. Why doesn't the student bodiY sit together and really back the boys up? Yours is a team that you should be proud of, in fact, it's the best club I've ever coached," he asserted. "Get in one section and make that auditorium boom." GILBERT NEW HEAD OF JUNIOR CLASS At the Junior class meeting January 31 Gordon Gilbert was elected cla>s president. He succeeded Gerald Fich· ter Who is now regi~tered as a Sedor. Harold Boatman and Bill Mooney were the other nominees. Willis Wirth, treasurer, suggested that members pay their dues of bOc as soon as possible. Freshman Board To Be Restored The Freshman bulletin board which for ten years has stood between the gymnasium and the Administration building was blown over by the strong winds January 24. Miss Tear assures the students that it will be back iI; its original prominent place on the campus as soon as new standards have been made. It is being worked on in the "shop" now. The Fl"eshmen have permission· to post their club rotices on the Administratio~ door for the time being.

HIGDEN TALKS ON PODUNK TO OXFORD From Podunk to Oxford was the topic of an informal discussion given by Dr. Higden, a missionary from the Philippines, on Saturday afternoon, Fetiruary 5 ill. the 'Music Hall. Podunk is any place on the fom· crossroads where there might be a filling station and a hot-dog stand and where most people are raised and get their start in life. Oxford is the place where some of the narrowness of Podunk is lost, Dr. Higden stated that people really need the vital things that are received from Podunk although Oxford brings about wide tolerance and broadmindedness. Dr. Higden told briefiy of his life and education. Of special interest was a description of his trip to the Holy Land and Jerusalem. The political conditions and educational system in the Philippines were described by Dr. Higden. He told of the way a uniform language was brought about and learned by the Philippines. In discussing the religious problem he concluded that in small towns, the churches should be united so that the most may be obtained from them. Following the discussion the Y. W. served a tea in honor of Dr. Higden.

PLACEMENT BUREAU
BENEFIT STUDENTS Clements Has Done Fine Work in Peru Helping Peru students and graduates secure teaching positions with the full benefit going to each appilcant, has been the unselfish purpose of the Peru Teachers Placement Bureau for r.he r;ast twelve years. The present placement forms have reach0d a near peak in effici.ency which is quite apparant by the facv that practically rvery outgoing A. B. de,.ree stildent has joined the Placement Bureau; and by the fact that, OVBr a span of twelve years, membership inc?·eased to Dpr.10xim2.tcly two Jrnndred new members last year. During the past two years, there was a noticeable increase in calls for teachers over previous years. The outlook for this year's crop of out-going teachers should be encouraged, for at the present, every indication points toward more teacher-calls even than last year. Under the competent supervision of Mr. Clements, Superintendent of the Training school, the Bureau has located a high percentage of its graduates in good positions. Members of each year's graduating class receive first consideration and when a candidate is notified of a vacancy through the office, his credentiil.ls are sent just as soon as he indicates that it will apply. Due to li:r·ited office assistance, it is impossible for the Bureau to make up and send out credentials every time a candidate learns of an opening through some other source. However, when a school official desires them, credentials are sent out. Special "Request for Credential" blanks are supplied for this purpose. And as a last word, it is suggested that each candidate choose his or her references carefully. ~INK Dramatic Arts Contest to Be Held An announcement has been made by Professor R. D. Moore of the Speech Department that on March 25 and 26 the Dramatic Club wi.H sponsor the annual· M. I. N. K. Dramatic Arts Contest for high schools.

Plans for the contest have been made by a committee composed of the following: Professor Moore acting as the' Chairman, Charles Parnell, Mary Lizabeth Werner, Marie Wieneke and Robert Weber. The committee states that they are expecting more schools to compete in the contest this year than in pr(;Vious years.

HASTINGS UPSETS UNDEPEATED BOBCATS McCormick and Marvel Stage Close Battle Hastings handed the Peru Bobcats an unexpected defeat last Saturday evening to the tune of a 44 to 36 score. The following is an account of the turning point in th~ game: Time was growing short; the score stood 34 to 34; Halladay dropped in a field goal to give Peru a momentary two point lead. Overturf, speedy Bronc forward, im,.'llediately rang up two points on a set-up to offset the Cat lead; the score then stood 36 to 36. The crowd grew tense; a wave of tensity swept over both clubs; passes became wild and inaccurate. There was a rough house struggle to i;ain possession of the ball; neither team seemed to have control of the ball for any length of time; but out of it all the Hastings club emerged the victor by an eight point margin. Those Broncs responsible for the last minute scoring were Marvel, who tipped in two fielders; Overturf, 'who zipped a pretty set-up through the old hoop; and Grant, who hurriedly flip" ped in a final two-pointer from near the free throw line. A general survey of the game reveals that Peru attempted a total of 98 shots as compared to the 72 shots tried by Hastings. Free throws are included in this number of attempts made by both teams. OUt of the total, Peru took fifteen free throws and made eight; While Hastings tried .eleven and also made eight. Of the eighty-three field attempts tried by Peru, fourteen successful shots were made. Hasting's percentage was much higher, for the Broncs ma<le eighteen successful shots out of sixty-one field tries. The battle between centers Marvel and McCormick was a fairly even tussle. "Mac" came out of the game with eleven points to Marvel's ten points. McCormick attempted eleven field shots in the first half, while Marvel tried two.

Bronchos Victorious Well, the Bronchos galloped home with a victory but they knew they had been to a ball game. The Bobcats played a hard game against Doane Friday night and Saturday night was just 'one of those nights when even the best college team in the state will fail to find the hoop. Busy Week But that was last week and there are three games to look forward to this week. The Bobcats meet Nebr. B at Lincoln, Wednesday; Kearney at Kearney, Thursday; and then go back to Lincoln to play Wesleyan, Friday. From the looks of that llst the boys will have a busy week. Look in the Gym If you would like to see some basketball games while the varsity ls out of town, all you have to do ls drop into the gym for some intramural games.

"King Richard
"King Richard II," a play by William Shakespeare, was presented in Omaha at Technical High School on Wednesday evening, Feb. 9, under the auspices of the Omaha Drama r,eague. The company presenting the play started a year ago in New York and played for 171 successive nights before beginning this tour. A number of Peruvians were fortunate in having the opportunity to see this production. 'Those attending were: Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Smith, Prof. R. Moore, Miss Florence Martin, Prof. w. B. Thorson, Dr. Mrs. B. K. Baker, Marie Wieneke, Anne Louise Short, Charles Parne! ', and Harold Prichard. These people ' brought back enthusiastic reports ncerning their enjoyment of the 1 Dr. Smith's r >,ion was summarized in this stateml "I was agreeably surprised."

Original Cabin Sturdily Built E. D. Bartling, prominent Nebraska City business man, has taken it upon himself to make another of the Nebraska sites of historic significance presentable to the public, by re-establishing the original log cabin and cave used by John Brown, an abolitionist set on freeing slaves, as one of a number of his underground railroad stations for fugitive slaves. The cabin is located on a quarter section at 20th street and 4th Corso. It was originally the home of Allan B. Mayhew, built in the year 1857. The logs for the cabin were taken from the premises and hued to perfection, as the mortise work will readily show. No nails were used in the construction and yet it stands today just as sturdy a building as the day it was built. It is 14 feet by 16 feet, and• is set upon a foundation of natural lime stone.
The quarter section upon which ii; now stands is the original site upon whio() the cabin was built; however, due to the fact that a mile and a half Miller Talks on of new highway is to be run directly Egypt at Y.

nother's OpinionFrom Albert Crider, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, comes this 1morous, witty angle of our problem of the week. 'hat about it? All this talk about college outlines, and what a fine thing they e for the college student! Why doesn't someone say something about what they do for e prof.? I know one prof. who owes eighteen holes of golf a day to the ~t that he uses outlines in preparing for his classes. And, if the truth were known those outlines eased the way to iegree for many an instructor. Another young prof I know boasts a mighty fine Rumba and "ings a pretty mean Big Apple. It seems the outlines give him 1e to get out and "swing it." That same young prof swipes half of the campus queens right
der your eyes. Not because there is something special to him, t because we have to spend our nights plugging assignments for , profs who don't use the outlines. In common with many of my fellow collegians, there is the \gestion of the scallion in my Big Apple and there is something the camembert in my Rumba. My grandmother regularly es me ten strokes and whales the daylights out of me on the f course. Also, like many of my fellow collegians, I've had my on a cute little freshman-but assignments are beating my time. ' It's not too late yet for a student's New Year resolution. How ut buttonholing the profs to plug the use of the outline in pre· ing classes? If more profs used short cuts in dishing out edu· on, what a grand and glorious place this world would be.

A PERU YEARBOOK FOR EVERY STUDENT through the means of registration fees is the dream of Peruvian officials. Therefore, we present to you this week their view points and a Pedagogian .Look-in On Peruvian Feelings on the question of "A Peruvian for Everybody." Before ,yve undertook this problem we checked various angles. The Pe,ruvian cooperated by giving us figures they have worked out on the problem. Figures showing how much cheaper a year book would be if everyone bought the book. For this and other reasons we advocate the requiring of buying Peruvians when you register.
STUDENTS HAVE SHOWN BY POLLS that they desire a yearbook-yet always a great number do not buy books. In the same vein many do not have their picture takenyet they receive some space in the year book-at the expense of others. Why shouldn't students be required to buy a yearbook? They have to buy a contingent ticket-are football games more indica· 'tive of student life than is a yearbook? Are our past budget events -such as the Ted Shawn dancers-worth as much as a copy of the students' life in college? The White Hussars pleased us last year --but will their music ring in our ears ten years from now? Nobut a Peruvian will always be there to remind one of his college days.

WE HEREBY PRESENT for your undivided attention and thought an all-important question-the Pedagogian Look-in On Peruvian Feelings for this week. Should the Peruvian be left to struggle on in a constant light of uncertainty, in so far as its finances are concerned, or should it be included on the budget ticket? If the Peruvian is included on the budget ticket, it will necessitate an increase in the price of the ticket. However, it might be interesting to y0u to learn that approximately 315 students-and unhappy 70 per cent of the college enrolment-are annually overlooking an opportunity for a substantial money mving, throughout their college course. And the remaining BO per cent are giving up their chance to own a Peruvian because of a lack of available money, when under a · slightly altered arrangement, a budget ticket costing approximate! v $5.00 per semester would provide these people . with budget tickets, photographs, and Peruvians as well as save 70 per cent of the student body a matter of two dollars and a half. As statistics today will show, each student is now paying $7.50 annually for a budget ticket, and those who feel that they can afford it pay out $5.00 more for pictures and Peruvian. The total being $1Z.50 per year for the ticket, pictures, and Peruvian. The saving is readily seen in com paring the cost under the newly suggested arrangement and that of the present plan. Those interviewed were of practically a unanimous opinion that the Peruvian should be included on the budget ticket. Anita Searle: "It's a good idea." Barney Barrisas: "Sorry, haven't time to discuss the matter." Mary Slack: "This is a matter for the coming student body to decide. Under capable leadership, it would increase the prestige of the school." Mary Werner: "I am in favor of placing the Peruvian on the budget ticket, knowing that it will be beneficial to the student body as a whole, for the Peruvian is a part of school
Book worms, your menu this week contains two novels and a book of travel. There is a rental fee of ten cents for one book. "What Is American" by Frank Ernest Hill. What is American? "It is an old question. It has been asked by Europeans, it has been asked by Americans. It seems to worry us." Mr. Hill attempts to answer the question with unusual care and completeness. The author inserts passages of glowing prose, descriptive of the American land and the American climate.

Professor R. T. Ben.ford, instructor in Piano and Organ.spoke Tuesday evening at the joint meeting of Y. w. c. A. and Y. M. c. A. on "The His· " tory of Church Music. Italian church music was written in counter-point style at first. Counterpoint style music was sung in a manner similar to that of the round of today, related Mr. Benford. The Chant type of music was developed a little later by the Italians. The early churches had a cho~ which did all the singing. The audience took no part in the services. These choirs were made up of men only, as women were not allowed to sing in the choirs. He stated that Henry Parsell was the outstanding English hymn writer. Oratorials, Masks, and Cantatas were among the English types of church music. Mr. Benford explained . 1s received . th'is name behow ora t ona cause the place where they were sung was called an Oratory. The Oratory is similar to a small auditorium. Trained groups usually sing the Oratorials, Masks, and Catantas. This does not mean that a person with an ordinary voice cannot sing these. They can if they are in a groupthat practices• singing these types of music. Today the hymn is used in the churches most. Mr Benford said, "Each hymn has its own style." Hymns have a purpose in the church service. He brought out that this purpose is to give the audience a chance to participate in the service. .... concllinis speech M.r. Benford gave the .story of the writing of two hymns;l~lest Be The Tie" and "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus."

SPRING FEVER TO BE LATEST PRODUCTION
IJ\Aythical State and N.I.A.A. .wards Conferred on Peru
Action Revolves Around Small College Life With an authentic college atmosphere bringing many surprises and unusual situations, "Spring Fever" promises to be a hilarious comedy. The play is to be presented April 8. From the fifty that appeared at tryouts Professor Moore chose the following cast: Howard Brant, a senior at Brookfield College-Gerald Bowen. Ed Burns, a chemistry student-Dick Slagle Vic Lewis, an art student-Lloyd Heim Lew Herron, a journalism student-Mary E. Slack Mrs. Spangler, the landlady-Leona Simmons Anne Prucell, Howard's heart interest -Marva! Lucas Vivian George, Vic's heart interest-Ruth Wilson Henry Prucell, Anne's father, a rich manufacturer-Gilbert Purucker Phoebe Prucell, Anne's mother-Lois Nash. Maude Corey, Howard's spinster aunt -Mary Olive Richardson Professor Virgil Bean, of the Zoology department-Thane Cook Dr. Dixon, President of Brookfeld College-Bernard Goerke. Though this is the first major part for most of the cast they are all very competent and promise to give an exceptionally fine performance. The entire acti0n of the play takes place in the living room of Mrs. Spangler's rooming house. It is at BrookfiQld college, a small co-educational college in the east, on the day before commencement. Marie Wieneke is the student director.

As important as the team was the large enthusiastic crowd ever on hand to urge the Bobcats on. The now-famous cow-bell clanked not only at home, but also in enemy buildings. Peru support was evident in each and every game. Few boos were uttered on Peru's court-the few that were heard were quickly hushed. Respect for the eleven men on the floor seemed uppermost in Peru minds. As an organ of Peru o,inion, we want to congratulate Peruvians on their Peruvian showing.

'I'he glorious weather for the Y. W. and Y. M. conference was rather unusual but immensely appreciated by everyone. Late Friday afternoon and evening many representatives from different schools began to arrive. All were exuberant and ready to solve problems and exchange ideas. By Saturday morning 153 people from 12 colleges had registered including Peru members. Peru's cemetery hill seemed to be well known to all schools, because it was the one place that conference members were eager to see. Many came prepared to hike and view the picturesque country.

The banquet was attended by 153 conference delegates. During the meal the members sang their school songs. The brass quartette, composed of Neil Good, Frederick Wolter, Richard Turner an" Jack Hazelton played two selections. Due to the illness of Howard Miller who had been scheduled to sing for the banquet, Gordon Gilbert sang in his place. He sang "I Love Life" and "Without a Song." An announ~ement explaining the plan which has been organized to employ Y. W. and Y. M. officers at Estes Park this summer was explained by Charles Schwiso of Topeka, Kansas.

GONKLE'S PLAY IS LATE HIT OF SEASON Parents Are Proud of Son's Good Work Dr. E. P. Conkle of the dramatic arts faculty at the University of Iowa has recently written a play called "Prologue to Glory" which has scored a success in New York City being produced by the federal government w. P. A. theater project. The play has its setting in New Salem, Ill., and centers around the love affair of Abe Lincoln and the half-legendary Anne Rutledge, who died in her youth. Keith Wilson, columnist of Spotlight and Reel of the World Herald says concering the play "I think 'Prologue to Glory' is one of the finest, because it is one of the simplest and truest and most reasonable of our biographical dramas. Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Conkle, parents of Dr. Conkle, now residing in Peru, related last Sunday evening that "Worth graduated from Peru State Teachers College in 1919 and from Nebraska State University in 1921. He was given a Guggenheim fellowship in '30 and spent the year '31 in London, where he spent a lot of time writing." "Worth's previous work," his mother added, "was given too much unfavorable criticism by TIME magazine, but this time, they weren't so bad. They liked it except for the fact that the:; thought Lincoln's life in the pla, was sentimentalized and too "BoJ Scoutish." Nevertheless, Mr. and Ivlrs. E. G Co11kle are proud and happy paren;~ today, because of the fact that thet son has achieved the success of havin1 written a popularly recognized "lat1 season hit." "And," Mrs. Conkle concluded witl a twinkle in her eye; "part of our boy' play is going· to be broadcast nex Thursday evening at 7:00 o'clock ove Ru~y Vallee's program."

Bath received his degree in 1932. He belonged to Kappa Delta Pi, Alpha Mu Omega, Y. M. C. A., Men's Club, Philo, Dramatic Club, and was editor of the Peruvian in 1932. Glenn Gilkeson was football captain the year he graduated in 1925. The Peruvian for that year says "Glenn Gilkeson, all-state end and cap_tain, has been a clever and reliable end for three seasons. He played eight fine games of football in 1924. As a captain Peru has had few so popular,, "Gilk" was a member of Philo, "P" Club, and Men's Club.

THE PERU PEDAGOGIAN
TWITTERBONES A Fairy TaleOnce upon a time there was a little old man named Unkie. And it seemed that this little old man had sort of a sixth sense for gathering gossip. In fact, sometimes he knew more about people's private lives than they d;d themselves. Anyway, it seemed li'.~e such a shame to waste this talent that he decided to write a gossip column. Now Unkie had always heard 1,h2t gossip eoumnists were funny looking old fellows, so he bought himself a pair of false whiskers which he called "Twitterbones" and he always wore them when he wrote. He had a lot of ?fun and made rots of people angry at lots of other people and at the same time made lots of other people very amused. His whole attitude seemed to be, "If I've said anything I'm sorry for, I'm glad of it." And all but three times he was. But one day he felt like he ought to apologize to three people, Joey Punches, Speck, and Ruthie Lytton. So he did. Then came the day when Unkies' false whiskers got a bad case of dandruff and began to fall out. 'I'he poor old man was sorely perplexed. He said, "What shall I de? My whiskers are so sparce, people can see right through them; I gues I can no longer write my gossp column, for I ca~'t write without my whiskers." SO he stopped writing it, and was very unhappy about it all. G-bye', MURPH. (Ed. Note-We believe you will agree when we say that we think Murph has done a swell job this year.

With the score now standing 22 to 21 1 in favor of the faculty the college club has just time enough to serve once more-in a last effort to tie the game and possibly win in an overtime period. The crowd stangs in tense quietness waiting and hoping-some just waiting. Both teams are set-they realize that the outcome of the game hinges upon the success or failure of this last serve. Here it comes-it's a beauty, clear into the faculty back court-"Shorty" Clements tips it up to "Stu" who sets it up for Capt. Hayward who, in turn drives a whizzer irectly over to Howard Dean. Howard wasn't to be caught napping, though, and he gives the ball in a beautiful tip set-up to Greathouse who then drives a hard one at "Bobbie" Moore. Bobbie gave out a grunt and a heave and up the ball went in a fancy loop to Georgie Smith who applies a little more English to advantage in setting it up for "Wally" Albert.

I think that some money should be taken away from dramatics and g~ven to debate. I would rather attenl a debate. C'ollege people are much betr.;r in debate than in dramatics. If a school is to help your brain, then debate sh,ould be· stressed. Dramatics would benefit the greater number but I believe in quality rather than quantity. The dramatic club would have enough activities if they would just 'give shor.t plays among their own own groups at their meetings."
GENEVA MILLER: "Debate wou have more carry-over into later life it would enable on to present th point of view in a more convinc· way. Dram~tics would advertise interest to the general public.

Feelings: ROBERT WEBER: "Debate and dramatics are about as comparable as basketball and fqotball. Would you stress one of these over the other? Of course not. They are two different things and are equally important. They are related· in that certain personality· requirements are necessary to both, but to stress one at the expense of the other is not even an intelligent question for discussion. Both are necessary and of great importance."

MRS IRENE JONES: "I would prefer that dramatics be stressed in the speech department as I believe dramatics has more carry-over into later life. If one learns to appreciate good acting he can always appreciate it."
MARIE WIENCKE: "I think that equal time should be devoted to debate and dramatics in both the curricular
GLADYS LOTTMAN: "I think dramatics shou;.d be strt:ssed bec:mse it ineludes more than just speech, it includes make-up and stage craft. Drama gives the performer more opportunities to develop his originality. I would much rather attend a play than a debate. Dramatics would keep up the reputation of the schol because mor? people are interested in dramatics than in debate.

ELAINE SHAFFER: "I don't think that one should be stressed at the expense of the other. They are both important. I enjoy seeing a play more than a debate because I don't know enough about debate to appreciate it. It will depend on how each is carried out as to which will benefit the school the most. Both debate and dramatics are valuable for gaining poise, but debate develops originality and logical thinking more than drama does. Dramatics will benefit the greater number. Yes, I would like to see debate stressrd. If debate were stressed the dramatic club should give the regular homecoming play and some other events st.ch as a budget play.

"I heard many good speakers from prominent educational fields," said Miss Davidson, "and I received a number of new ideas and saw numerous people I knew." "The last night an ice carnival was held in the big arena and I saw some wonderful skaters, including the famous Canadian skaters. It was swell; I have never seen anything like it before," stated Miss Davidson.

"Spring Fever" Delights Large Peru Audience Three-Act Farce Well Pres-:::1ted Peru play-goers were
deligi:~fully
en-
tertained Friday evening by the presentation of the play "Spring Fever," a farce in three acts. The play was light, fast moving', and the wit, spontaneity, and bouyancy of the speech and action of the characters combined to make it most amusing. There was a judicious balance of youth and maturity in the cast which afforded ample opportunity for a wide range of characterization. In the setting of Hrs. Spangler's rooming· house, with loud explosions every now and then from Ed's "Stinkum Stinktorum". each member of the cast caught the spint of the play and gave an impressive interpretation. • Ed Burns, a balmy chemistry student, who was always concocting a substitute for dynamite, was effectively portrayed by Richard Slagle. Ed kept the nerves of all present on the jump. At the same time he did a good job of keeping .Lou Herron's heart beating abnormally. Mary Ellen Slack, in the role of I,ou Herron an enterprising journalism student, dashed hither and yon trying cominua1ly to bump into a good news story ar d parking herself wherever she couid find a typewriter. Many obser· vers wert of the opinion that it was Lou who kept the tempc of the play going as it did. n.oward Brant's Aunt Mau(k, who had financed his way through college, arrived unexpectedly from California and complicated the already muddlej situation. It was Aunt Maude, however, who finally saved the day for How~rd with her romance with Profess:1r
Benn. J.vhry Olive Richard~cn portrayed Aunt Maud_. w th the confidence and sureness th?,t romes with a thcrough understanding of the role. Mary Olive's "never die" will and clever way of getting what she started after added nmch to the merriment of the play. 11oyd Hein\ interpreting creditably the role of commercial artist, provided many laughs when he mistook Anne's father, Mr. Purcell, for a Russian Bolshevik model. As a substitute physician and as Vivian's sweetheart he was equally mirth-provoking. Gilbert Purucker, as Henry Pu :cP!l

Dr. Dixon, president Qf Brookfield, was continually looking for the endowment with which to start building a new science hall. Bernard Goerke in this role exhibited continual fear that the money would escape his eager grasp. Thaine Cook, as the eccentric "bug-oiogy" professor, 'was a ln.u:;:".• provoker when he snared Howard's Aunt Maude-or did she snare him? Director Robert D. Moore succeeded in securing good acting on the part of a cast composed largely of freshmen. Miss Marie Winck.e, as assistant director is also deserving of commendation. The accurate timing of the sound effects (principally explosions from Ed Burns' laboratory) can be credited to Gale Carter. Red Cross to Pay For Two Operations The Nemaha county Chapter of the American Red Cross has some money at their disposal which is to be apportioned out to the different schools in he county for tonsilectomies. Each chool is to be allowed two such operations for worthy cases who can not finance their own. Dr. Joder will remove tonsils of two pupils in the Trainng School.
Several Peru students have received positions for the coming year. Others have been
ele~ted
but have not yet ac-
cepted. Among the seniors reporting elections are: Howard Miller, music and English at Eagle; Wylie Remmers, history, social science and coachmg at Garland; Maxine Metcalf, home economics, English, and dramatics at Overton and Evaline West, mathematics and science at Ansley. The Peru Placement Bureau is continuing to get a good many vacancies, and up to the present time, it has been necessary to make over more than three li:nrn as many sets of credentials for students as last year at this same time.

Filled With Activity
Coo-Ped clocked in nothing fiat as time watches on-in other words Coo· Ped presents a column of nothing in no time at all. It may impress you to know that Coo-Ped has the first imprimature ever issued by the Pedagogian. We hope this meliorates the column and makes it a mellifious piece of . work. Time in: The fiest clock was invented by Pope Sylvester II in A. D. 996. Heidelberg Clock: There once existed in the dome of the town hall at Heidelberg a very famous clock. As the hammer struck each hour; the figure of an old mitn opened a door, walked out, bowed, lifted his hat and then returned to ms niche A cock flapped its wings-father time swung his scythe and German and French soldiers engaged in a mimic battle. The clock was destroyed in 1693. Drog of Geneva: The fabalous clock of Drog of GeneYa had a platform on which sat a do;;, a shepherd and a negro. The shepherd played 6 tunes on his flute-the dog bRrked the hours-and the negro wou'd tell tht time if asked in French. Strasburg Time: The Strasburg clock marks the years and the leap years and contains 122 figures within its mechanism. An angel hits a bell every minute; at the end of 15 minutes he is replaced by anotherat 15 minutes a child appears at a door; at a half hour a youth appears, at three-quarters an hour a man and at the hour a·n old man totters out only to be swooped up by death. Then the 12 apostles moved out and pass in silent procession. At 6 and 12 the huge cock surmounting the clock crows the time. striking 13: There are two clocks· in Worsley, Lancashire, England that never strike 1 o'clock-instead they strike 13. Bil'd Talk: Originally 8 pairs of sparrows were introduced into America in 1850 to eat caterpillars. (Now we are thinking of importing sparrow eating caterpillars.) Basketball Fool's Gold: The varsity received gold basketcalls-orily to have them turn out as gd's basketballs in some cases. Origin:il We Wisdom Bits: Many a beau brummel's waist line turns into an old man's waste line. His word was like water-both having to be dammed before backing up occurred. Coo-Ped Steals Another: School days+-school days, Dear new fangled school days, Fencing, eurythmiss, and plaster art Taught with aid of a Binet chart; I was a lad with a low I. Q. You were a maid with a minus two; Just what we learned we never knew But that is the new fangled way Queooc. Correction: Last week's Pedagogian contained gross exaggeration in the accident article in which five girls were involved. The true account of the accident reveals that the car was not demolished, nor were any of the occupants seriously injured.

Athletic Expression for All Each Season Is What opportunity for athletic expression has the average student who attends P. S. T. C.? A few years ago the answer would have been "little, if any'', but today that is not the ca~e. With a well rounded physical education program for both men and women, Peru is taking its place in the field of physical education. In the fall, Director of Athletics, G. Gilkeson gives to Assistant Directm, S. Baller, an outline program for the year's intramural activity. At the same time, Mr. Gilgeson selects a student manager-one who can be trusted and depended upon to conscientiously manag·e and carry on the details of the program-who is responsible to :VIr. Baller. 'I'o date, Larry Stark, majoring in the field of Physical Education, has p.-oved himself an able and competent student manager. Larry attends to the actual activities of the teams and sees that they are played oJf smoothly and without confusion. Uncler his direction are the managers of each team entered. It is here that those planning to coach gain most of their actual experience for futu!·e coaching positions. Miss Davidson, Director of Women's Physical Education department, has a women's program worked out very much as ~- Gilkeson's, with this one exception: to the women belonging to W. A. A. points are counted toward letters-to the men, no individual material awards are given outside the physical benefits derived. When old man winter puffs his hoary breath out over this, 'the campus of a thousand oaks,' as he did last week, the gymnasium becomes alive with activity. Last winter eight teams battled to a close finish, in the scheduled :o ll• 1' robin basketball tournament. Other activities include swimming in the college pool in the basement of the gym, volley-ball, tumbling, boxing, and calisthenics. Facilities are available to any college student or faculty member. As 'old man sunshine' casts rays of approval upon the campus, the spring season discloses more outdoor activity. On Wednesday, April lS, the intramural track meet will take place, beginniu;s at 4:00 p. m. sharp. Immediately fol·1owing spring vacation, the hand ' '-11 contests will be run off. The soft'0all tournament will follow the completion of the handball contests, a,nd, with the completion of the varsity track sr.ason, horseshoe, swimming, and tennis champs will be decided. The program for women is not less active. Besides the regular classes 1 ir credit which include natural activiUes, swimming, dancing, hockey, tennis, and softball, tournaments are arranged in hokey, tennis, swimming, softball, JOI·· ley-ball and badminton. Those who are physically capable and possess ability find it to their advantage to participate in intercollegiate sports, and in this way overcome their physical education problem. Those, however, who are not so liberally endowed, physically, as others, find that they can participate in healthful re.creational activity; and that they will find their program full, if they will just put forth the effort. Pres. and Mrs. W. R. Pate of the college left early Saturday morning accompanied by Supt. J. A. Jimerson of Auburn for Chicago to attend the Nbrth Central Association meeting.

PERU PEDAGOGIAN PERU, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1938
VOLUME XXXIII
SOPHOMORE SHOW FULL OF LAUGHS Werner and Crone Continuity Writers Big joke, ho, ho, at convocation Friday when the Sophomore class sponsored the program "Flour Shock," which consisted of seven skits, the work of continuity-writers Mary Liz Werner and Ruth Crone. Thirty soph· omores took part in the program. The first scene was that of a radio station where Dizzy Swish (usually disguised as Ruth Crone) was giving reci-. pes for marble cake and beans a la J=?ruce. This informational part of the program was cut tragically short by the discovery that th2 fiour was nothing if not plaster of Paris. A few minutes later the audience saw the poetic president of the Siftee-Wiftee Flour Company, Ralph Hopp, 2.t the unhappy moment when he discov~ ered the truth concerning the product of his company. A few minute< lat-;r "newsie" Jack Floyd informed us of the president's suicide leap from his ,o!Iice windcw, leaving his secretary, Jean Wagner, and assistant, Gilbc: t Purucker, unemployed. After the enactment of this tragedy, the curtain parted, disclosing a slow-talking, slow-moving hill-billy family taking life easy. In fact, property girl Frances Hardy, had to rush on to bring in the flapjacks (made of ;Siftie-Wiftee). The scene closed with unwonted animation with Ma (Buchanan) throttling Sis (Clifton) throttling Pa (Heim) throt}ling· brother (Saale) throttling Ma. In contrast to the preceding scene, the fast side of American life was next show:1. Bartender Don Rose wao discovered ent.trnlled by the close harmony of the Girls' Trio (Hazleton, Harris and Coatney) which sang "Tippitin." A fe\" minutes later playboys Carter Johnson, Thomas Chinnock and Dick Peck strolled in for a-hot dog. The members of the audience were made to realize the swiftness of modern life as they saw a hapless dog run across the room, emerging half a secend later in edible form between buns made of Siftee-Wiftee.
JUNIOR-SENIOR.PROM SET FOR SATURDAY, MAY
7
"Primping Week" is on for the Junior and Senior classes as they prepare for the Junior-Senior Prom, to be held Saturday night, May 7, in the Music Hall Auditorium. The "prom" will be a formal affair, carefully worked out by the Junior president, Gordon Gilbert; treasurer, Willis Worth and three committees, Those are: entertainment, William Mooney and Helen Lucille Larson; decoration, Harold Boatman and Benjamin Sheldon; refreshment:· Hazel Aufenkamp and Eleanor Hemphill. The Juniors are hosts to the Senior's in their annual farewell party. The evening will be spent mostly in dancing although other interesting entertainment is being· planned.
BOARD STARTS PLANS FOR MEN 1SHALL Architect Selected, Funds Appropriated The State Normal Board has announced plans for the new men's dormitory at _Peru. John A. Latenser, Omaha, has been selected the architect in charge of planning and constructing the addition to Peru's C?.mpus. $104,000"G<lf state school funds has been made available by the board. This amount will probably be increased by P. W. A. funds amounting to 45 percent of the total cost, since new P. W. A. funds have been appropriated to Nebraska by the recent federal "pump priming" bill. 'I'his would afford a Jiuiic'ing costing about $194,000. The building will add no cost to l ta:e taxpayer's bills. It will be patd £or out of revenue from its operation. Construction of the building will probably be delayed until the application for P. W. A. funds has been considered. Therefore, the date of completion cannot be estimated. No definite decision as to the loca-
Dormitory Girls Entertain NATIONALMUSICWEEK With Spring Garden Party PERUVIANS OBSERVE Local Groups to Give Operettas and Concerts National Music Week, which will be observed throughout the country May 1-8, has been heartily endorsed by President Roosevelt National Music Week is the idea of Charles Milton Tremaine, a little old man who makes no music but has been associated with it all his life. Mr. Tremaine got his start promoting pianolas for the Aeolian Co., later tried to make his own pianos, and failed. In 1916, deciding he was a better promotor than manufacturer, Tremaine formed his still existing National Bureau for the Advancement of Music. Four years later he put on a celebration which he called New York Music Week. Other cities copied this week, and in 1924 they united for the first National Music Week. Each community celebration is fairly autonomous, appealing to the national committee for advice, slogans, pamphlets. Otto for advice slogans, pamphlets. Otto Kahn gave $1,000 and became first chairman of the committee. When he died, David Sarnoff, president of R. C. A., succeeded him. As permanent secretary, Mr. Tremaine who is able to do most of the business, boasts that he never asks favors. Peruvians will observe National Music Week by presenting two operettas and a band concert. Wednesday evening Grades 3-6 inc. will present "Mrs. Melody Entertains" words and music by R. T. Benford.

Miss Bradley astonished the audience with this statement: "The women in the United States spent a hundred million dollars on cosmetics last year." Manufacturers make an immense profit from the production of make-!1p. The cost of the best face powder to the producer is eighty dollars a ton yet he sells a four ounce box for one or two dollars. Miss Bradley concluded her lecture "Do we Shop Intelligently?" by advising every purchaser to demand that manufacturers list the contents of each product on the label. Only after this has been done can w~ be sure that we are shopping intelligently. Philomatheans Entertain Everett Literary Society Approximately 35 students attended the annual entertainment of PhiloEverett Literary Socities April 28. The hosts, Philomatheans, slightly outnumbered their guests, Everetts, as Miss Kenton's group sponsored a successful affair for Mrs. Kirk's organization. The party opened with the business meeting· and the evening was then turned over to Gladys Nofsger. The theme of the evening was birds and many games were played based on the idea of the "feathered family." The game, which seemed the outstanding and secured the most cheers from the members, was "Birds Carrying Worms to the Nest." The group was divided and each person had to carry a bean on a knife to its destination. Prizes, animal crackers, were given to the best group performances.

EXPLANATION
Do you notice the difference? This week's PED. was planned and edited by the newswriting class. All headlines, makeup, news articles and editorials are the work of the reporting staff. T~ditor Norman Littrell has had a complete vacation ercept for the determination of matters of grave policy. In the event that too manv cooks han spoiled the broth, \\'e hope thavou'll forgive, forget a~cl 1-velcome "Normy" back next \\·cclc PET PEEVES
Are you one of the very few persons \Yho ha\•e only_ one pct peeve? Are you able to name it immediately upon being asked? Or, on second thought, are you one of the very many persons who have many pet peeves and can't decide just which one is the worst? Perhaps you don't like people who gossip, or maybe yon do enjoy a session frequently. Do you like to hear radios at 6 :00 A 1\I., or are you extremely irritated and wish that l\Iarconi had been a fiowerk ver instead of a "mechanical bug"? ·when deeply: absorbed in a long history assignment that just HAS TO BE READ before your next class, doesn't it give vou a "rhythmical feeling" to hear some'}ne in the room above yon suddenly break into a tap clans:e-or does it? How about slamming doors, singing before breakfast, or moving furrtiture while you're trying to sleep? Does your roommate leave his clothes lying around saying, 'Tm going to take care Jf these Saturdav. I'll clean the room this week too since you'n :leaned it the la~t four times"? Do yon build np great hopes and :hink maybe he's okay after all-that is until yon go to your room llld find a note: Dear "Roomie" I've just found a way to go home this week-encl so I'm grabbing it-See you Sunday nightB---But after all are \ve not learning to he \\·ith others? We can't tlways have things our way. Is there any better test for sel£-sacriice than being able to overlook others "queer habits?" l\faybe we ;hould have credit in an extra-curricular course-the one \Yho has he fewest pet peeves should get the best grade. (Or are grades me of your pet peeves?) :IARDEN PARTY
It has come and gone-that long anticipated dormitory formal. ,fonths of lying awake deciding whom to ask and what to wear1ver in one all-too-short evening. But is it over? 1\Iemories of good imes such as these live on fore\·er. This Men's formal was a good idea-while it lasted. But \Vhat :_ppenecl to it? Could the fellows have decided that the unclertak1g was too great? The girls have given you two !only parties crry year, parties which have required much of thought and hard rork. Don't you think it is your turn nov,·? UNK TRACK MEET
For the past several years the MINK track and field meet has een one of the outstanding classics in the state. In this meet high ~hool stars are featured from four states, namely, l\Iissouri, Iowa, ·ebraska and Kansas. The meet has acqnirccl a prominent name for self clue to the high caliber of competition afforded. Last Saturday approximately 250 athletes from some 30 schools irticipated in. the sixteenth annual l\IINK track meet held on the eru field. _While old sol showered clown his apprornl the boys atched ability in the several en~nts these boys \1·cre aimi1i.g- to m, and what's more these boys were aiming at records, and clnrg the course of the meet six of the long standing records were 1attered each by a good margin. The meet was run off directly on schedule and displayecl the hight degree of organization. From the results of Saturday's meet, and from the showing made · the underclassmen, we personally feel that the meet next year ould be bigger and better than ever.

Breathe; there a man-or girl-with soul so dead (or with such an acute case of spring fever) who never to himself-or roommate-has said (or perhaps shouted): "This is my own, my very own peeve!" The answer is "NO!" Practically everyone has a pet peeve. They are universally cherished, these little annoyances that disturb life's flowing serenity. Shakespeare had a name for them-he called them the hundred natural shocks that fiesh is heir to". Hamlet was ready to "end it all' because of them, but Peruvians hava merely enjoyed confessing to interested reporters their special grievances and an elaboration on just why that particular thing gets in their hair. If you say "come" when you should say "came" or "seen" for "saw", or if you have insane laugh, hide your head, because you see Mary Kathryn HanIon's pet pain. Mearle Shoebotham gets very peeved when the person sitting in back of her in class jiggles her chair. 'l he flies in Mildred Knofiicek's soup are the girls who talk baby talk. Several are irritated by the uncivilized way in which Mr. Gilbert rings the dinner bell. Jack Hazelton is annoyed over the Flash: This week's plans dealt with dol~1n1·to1·y doors' be1·11g locked at Hl:30. chimneys-What do you know of Evelyn Freeouf detests chalk-screechers. Hazel Vanier dislikes having to get up for breakfast. Mary Liz Werned is irritated by people who don't appreciate the art of punning-. Further exaspirations are: Marjorie Harris-Chorus members who eat g·arlic should go way off somewhere, anywhere but where "Marj" is, because they make chorus almost unbearable for her in more ways th[ln one. (Even your best friends won't tell you). Professor Benford-He has so many occasions for impatience that he does not have a pet peeve. AnYw.lhl'xtteachers are not supposed to ~e pets. (Some do and some don't). Gordon Gilbert: He is a lover-of natural beauty. Consequent!", he be' comes enraged whn he sees ostentationsly red finger nail polish. People who leave the light ·on over the dictionary in the Eliza Morgan parlor don't realize how much am1oyance they cause Gladys Nofsger. She feels impelled to turn it off which not only wastes time and energ·y, but also causes and irritable frame of mind. Virginia Trively-She always seems pleasant and never angry, but she, too, has a source of irritation. Open doors cause her a great deal of provocation. She must be one of those few people who are not curious about other peoples affairs and desired privacy herself. Elizabeth Murphy-"My pet peeve is people who apologize. I think people should make up their minds and stick to it." Ruthie Lytton: "What is my pet peeve? It's people who leave the elevator door open-then I have to walk upstairs."

For the past several days, students emerging from college buildings at 3:00 p. m., have become conscious of drum beats in their ears. The direction from which these percuss~ons came could not at first be determined. One day a curious person strolled over behind the dormitory to satisfy an urge to get next to nature for a short while. On the training school practice field, the training school band was marching. Supt. s. L. Clements will take both the band and the orchestra to Omaha for the National Regional Music C'ontest May 12, 13, and 14. The band will march in a parade-hence the drill. They may enter the marching contest with Jack Hazelton as drum major.

Gala colored costumes and well trained voices were the main attractions Friday night when the combined Glee Clubs of Peru High School presented "Tbe Fete of the Fireflies." The first act was set in a Gypsy camp where Lolita, CJ?ettye Dasher) queen of the Fete, fell in love with an American boy, John, (Harold Fisher) who had wandered into the Gypsy camp. John invited Lolita and her band to a garden party at his home. The second act opened with the b:cnd of Gypsies arriving at the garden party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Winters (Harold Mason and Joan Good.) During the course of the evening, Mr. and Mrs. St. Johns, (Bond Kennedy and Nancy Jones) who attended the party, discovered thd Lolita was their own daughter who had disappeared thirteen years previously. Maria, the gypsy who reared Lolita from childhood, was played by Mable Bath. The story closed with a happy reunion of Lolita and her parents. Nicholai (Raymon Coulter) and Elaine (Mary Redding) very ably played the parts of the jealous lovero. Roger (Oscar Smith) played the part of a very clever American and furnished much humor for the audience. Meda, (Maryon Thomas) a friend of Lolita, calmly braved the stormy remarks of Nicholai and was ready with an answer every time Nicholai lost his temper. Those <inging in th€ chorus incJmlcd C.

HALL'S HURDLES
I Sportsmanship Seldom does one actually see and experience things about which one often reads in stories. At the Peru vs. Doane track meet last Friday afternoon, however, I did see -something that I've never done more than read about and as a result it struck me as being tops in "Sportsmanship." It happened like this : With the outcome of the mile run well in hand, "Lindy", Wayne Lindberg to the ladies but just plain "Irc1nhorse Lindy" to his track mates, having lettered, dropped back on the finish lo take a second and give his running mate of the season, Vester Holman, a very likely distance man, an opportunity to get his letter-which, incidentally goes hand-in-hand with the taking of a first in any dual meet. This is the kind of attitude that carries one the farthest and is, therefore, something very worthwhile striVi.ng for. Halladay to the Front Bob Halladay showed up fine when he breezed through to an easy fint place in the 440 yard dash. "Gilk's" Way of Doing It With a grand display of "sportsmanship" on one hand and a dei" ,..;..c victory over Doane last Frit.iaji/ on the ·other, it is no· difficult matter to see that Coach Gilkeson is as much interested in the future as well as the present of each of his boys. Where there's cheer-there's 'Speck' The day wouldn't h~ve been complete without "Speck" to see the boys off. No, they weren't disappointed, for "Speck" was there till the last car left with a cheerful word and a display of horse-shoe pitchin' that would rush champion Mosley to beat.

Mr. John Bath, Supervisor of Junior Hig!1 School Teaching, spoke on the "History of Mathematics." He told about a plan which has been suggested several times by mathematicians in which our number system would have a basis of eig·ht instead of ten. This would eliminate the decimal system. The basis of eight does have its advantages, however, as eight is a multiple of more numbers than ten is. More of the most common fractions have denominators which are factors of eight such as one-half and onP,fourth. Edith Willey reported on the article "Geometry-A way of thinking" taken from "The Mathematics Teacher." Omar Gottula gave the proof to a geometric construction. Mr~ A. L. Hill, Professor of Mathematics discussed some miscellaneous matters.
SNOOPY SNOOPIN'S
Greetings and Sour grapes: Here is Snoop folks-the gossip "digger upper" with.the latest gossip. What three boys (by the names of Gerard Goldenstein, James French and Fletcher Cline) attended a high school party out at Tynan's farm last Tuesday night? It took Paul 'I'rue and Harold Snyder so long to make up their minds, one day, as to whether they should skip class or not that they were five minutes late when they decided to go. If anybody wants another storv about Pascars horse ask Dean Karr.. When Miss Davidson asked Betty Garver if she was at class the day before, Betty forgot herself and said, "No, I skipped." And much to the amusement of the sports class and Miss Davidson, Betty clapped her hands over her mouth and blushed a beautiful rosy red-think before you speak next time, Garver. Heard Kay Bartling changed her Miss Tear Entertains Freshman Club Council At Attractive Tea Miss Grace Tear entertained the Freshman Club Council and a few friends at a tea in her apartment on Thursday afternoon May 5. Tea was served between the hours four and six. A bowl of lavender iris was the center piece of an attractive and tempting tea table. Yellow candles and china completed the color scheme of lavender and yellow. Tea cakes, jelly tarts, daisy and rose-bud mints and tea were served. Jean Wagner assisted Miss Tear with the pouring.

After considerable prying, he, she or it disclosed the following facts: 1. The Juniors held the Seniors after a convocation and invited them to the Junior-Senior Prom. • 2. The Freshmen declined to call a meeting. 3. The Sophs. called one for a week ahead. Very few concerned, and few stayed at the predetermined time.

Mr. W1tt enumerated a few facts such as the fact that there were twice as many killed in 15 yearn of peace in the United States than there were in 15 years that each family with three children loses one by auto accident; and that ganrsters _are responsible for only 1-6 as many deaths as compared to those caused by automobile accidents. Going , on, the speaker stated that "the most common causes of auto accidents are defects in roads, defects in autos, pedestrian, and the driver himself," and that the best preventatives he could suggest were the three "E's", education, engineering and enforcement. He emphasized the fact that the fines collected went not to the patrolmen, as many would have us believe, but rather to the support of the schools. The patrolmen are su)ported by money paid in on driver's Jicenses. He also explained that he would like to see everyone look to them (patrolmen) not as enemies but as friends. In conclusion, he gave the audience this quotation by Edward Young, "Be wise with speed. A fool at forty is a fool indeed."

were the Peru footballers this year. In every instance. win or lose, they were a plucky lot with a united endeavor to play the game hard b11t clean. Last fall's team was not a winning squad but they di~playcd a brand of football that was a credit to the team, to Coach Gilkeson and to tht school. Hig'l1lights of the season were the I'.cru vs. Wayne, and Peru vs. Wesleyan CE!omecomingl games. The former game was an 2xciting, nip and tuck contest. First one would lead and thrcn th:; ot·her, u!1tll ilte finai whistle which left Peru on the short end-the score b2ing-Pcru 20, Wayne 24. The latter·--Peru vs Wesleyan fHmHcominc;l-was a 60 minute mad scramble because the game was played in the midst of a steady rain. It was a poor day for spectators but a lot of fun for the boys. They had to do their own rootin' as well as their own playing. The score ended. this time, with Peru on the long end-Peru 7, Wesleyan 6. Five defeats, one tie and two victories sum up the results of the '37 season. Lettermen are as follows: Joel Punches (Capt.), Bernard Barisas, Eldred Douglas, Orval Pugh, Lawrence Stark, Keith McHugh, Robert McGinley, Ross Adams, Elmon Velvick, Gilbert Purucker, John Boyer, Tom Majors, Bert Hall, Dale Bridgewater, Lester Mosley, John Greene, Leonard Greathouse, George Mort, Delbert Nelson and Wilbur Shields.

To two seniors, McCormick and Pugh went the honor of co-captaincy for the '38 basket season. Leonard Gre:J.thouse, .aob HallaJay and Russell Bailey were regular game starters and played outstanding ball in their respective positions.

1933
brings 661 students to Peru's campus this summer. This is the largest enrollment since 1933, being a 15 per cent increase over the college registration of last summer. The Training School claims 153 of the 661 students. The kindergarten has 35 beginners; first and second boasts 35; third and fourth, 25; fifth and sixth, 25; and seventh and eighth, 33. Of the remaining 508, only 73 are men and the college has never functioned better. That goes to show that men are not necessary to a college although they are handy on a football team. The freshmen are the most numerous on the campus with 169. An unusually good attendance from near by counties represents southeastern Nebraska. Nemaha county leads with 85; Richardson county sends 58; Otoe, 43; Gage 40; Pawnee, 33; Cass, 23; Johnson, 20; Jefferson, 19; Saline, 19 Thayer, 13; Fillmore, 12; Douglas, 4; and Lancaster, 4.

Ori several occasions, during the absence of Mr. s. L. Clements, Jerome Snider and Jack Hazelton have helped to direct the band. On an average, the band has forty members, but nine members will be lost by graduation and two or three members are mov1·ng away.

that had fighting qualities was wanted to elude being called "she". Mr. Baldey Wilcox, then editor of the Peru Pedagogian, came to Dean Delzell and they began to work on some appropriate name. Some one suggested the name "Bear", but they decided that would not do for a school where the enrollment was mostly girls. One night Dean Delzell thought of the word "Bobcat." The next morning he submitted it to. Mr. Baldey Wilcox Mr. Wilcox wrote an editorial saying that our boys fougllt like "Bobcats.' 'I'here orig·inated the name Bobcat as the Peru mascot. Word reached an alwmni, :tvrr. Geo Hanson, who was teaching in Arizona He was an intense!~ loyal Peruvian, a member of the graduating class of 1912 and a classmate of Prof. S. L Clements. Mr. Hanson immediately wrote o Dean Delzell and offered to find a Bobcat for the rriascot. The offer was accepted. He caught two small bobcats in the hillsnot far from Tempa, Arizona. From that day "the tables turned" against Bob and his life wa sno longer that of a roaming, carefree bobcat but that of a prisoner. Before the animals could be sent, one died, leaving the other to live a mateless life. When six month old Bob arrived at Peru, Dean Delzell went to meet him at the express station. A home was made for the bobcat south of the administration building and later a fine cage was built for him. Bob was teased by some of the. small lads and after that seldom came out of the cage except at night or on Sundays. His life was all hardships. He would sit looking pltyfully out of the door ofhis home, and hopefully longing to some day to return to his native haunts.

CHARLES BUCKLEY, VIOLINIST GIVES EXCELLENT CONCERT Charles Buckley, violinist, swayed a music loving Peru audience in a concert, June 16. Mr. Buckley, dressed in white, was contrasted against a back ground of black with soft lights from above. The effect added to the con'cert. In the opening number, Sonata in A Major by Cesar Franck, Mr. Buckley showed ability in handling classical numbers. Boulanger's Nocturne and Wianiaski's Romanza, 2nd Movement of Concerto D Minor were played with feeling· and sincere restraint. Old Castle by Nin and Danse Espagnole contrasted pleasantly with their lightness. Mr. Buckley's interpretation of Danse Espagnole gave that number d a ded meaning. <• Sea Murmers by Castelnuovo-Tedesco-Heifetz gave Mr. Buckley an opportunity to handle a portrayal of sounds in melody. The final number Ghost Dance by Levy produced a most sinister effect and was one of the best liked pieces. The lengthy applause proved that Peru enjoys excellent music such as that presented by Mr. Buckley. .PROF MOORE PU_ __ ·· TS PEP IN PUBLIC SPEA KING CLASS "The after dinner speeches were bad enought and the sales talks worse, but I'll dread most of all giving my · oration," was a remark made by a member of the Public Speaking Class. These three divisions are the high lights of the course and are therefore much discussed by the Public Speakers as well as many other students on the campus. "Have you heard about Stroh's speech on 'Disillusioned Women'?" "He gave it very ably and there was truth in it especially this summer, since the women greatly outnumber the men." "His after dinner speech was just a scream"-another talk on women. His theory of her beginning might be taken as an insult. "Man grew lonely, so Ge d took the crookedest part of him and made woman-She hasn't straightened out yet." Ah! fairer sex vouch for yourselYes. Af t er hearing the sales talks one repor t er dec1'ded that many summer Peruvians could work their way through college.

The 1936 Course of Study for Nebraska has also widened the field of opporttuniti!es because it exalts the needs of the child to embrace a philosophy of education whereby the everyday activities of the community and the state are definitely linked up with school.
