In the first match, the Wood-pussies took an early lead over the Pole-cats and defeated them by the narrow margin of eight to six. In the final game, the Skunk·hol!ow cagers were overcome and defeated by the Dog-patch quintet. Again it was a heated battle with the score· standing eight to five at the whistle. The lineups of the various teams are as follows: Wood-pussies: Atkins, Jensen, Close, Miller, Sehnert.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., world famcus journalist, au~hor, and traveler will appear here on Friday November 1(), unde1' the auspices of the budget committee. The subject of his lecture to be presented at this time is "Interviews on the Eve of War" and will be based on Mr. Vanderbilt's experiences abroad throughout the past summer. His lecture will include discussion of interesting talks he had this summer with Premier Deladier of France, Marshall Gamelin, Bennet, LeBrun and other important Frenchmen. He had an interesting conver.ation with Herr Goebbles. Hitler's :ninister of propaganda, in Berli~1 a few days before the war broke out. He will recount what Molotoff had Lo say earlier in the summer; his in. teresting luncheon with King· Carol of Rumania and Mme. Lupcscu; an amusing dinner with Metaxas 8llJ King George of Greecs; c~L'i:r.3ations with Prime Minister Chamberlain, Visjount Gort and Anthony Eden; an amusing interview with Fran~J a!1d a bombastic one with Ciano, and many o~her stirring experiences and interviews. Throughout the past summer he visited every principal country of Europe and the Mediterranean region conversing in each with its leading political figures. Vanderbilt is one of America's young cosmopolitan intellectuals whose everyday living is full of adventure and the unusual. By the time he was sixteen ! he had dilled with every crownPd hea.cl in Europe and had crossed the Atlantic 44 times. He has motored over half a million miles 'nc!urllng 6,000 in Ceylon; has lived in every country of Europe, in MeoGrn, Canada, and in every part of ih,; Unit.€d t>tat€s; he has twice won the Aot,o,- cup for yachtracing. He h,'\s i:n'JW,1 earls and emperors, millionaires and multi-millionaires, prelates a:1d president,

A scion of the .American moneyed nobility, Vanderbilt has an intimate understanding of the period whe,n vast fortunes and great corporations were being developed in this country and abroad, but because of his democratic ideals, he has deserted this group into which he was born, preferring to make his own way. He has dared through his writings and lectures to expose the forms and patterns of an extravagant era, an era which he is convinced has passed.

Acorns to Oaks Seventy-three years ago, with thirty ;tudents, two faculty members and an tbandoned saloon building for a class:oom, the first chapter of Peru State reachers College began. Professor J. \!I. McKenzie, who served as principal, ;eacher of mathematics, chemistry, ;cience and Latin, and the janitor, with lis wife who acted as preceptress and ;eacher of rhetoric, geography and his;ory, were the persons who made up ;he instructional department. They, ll!th the aid llf several others had fore;ight enough to see how a lone building mrrounded by uninviting shrubbery :ould be transformed into a noteworthy :allege with a "campus of a thousand )aks." Mount Vernon Dormitory marks the ;ite where, January 1867, the first building for the college was constructed. The summer after the school was begun, efforts were made by Legislators r. J. Majors and Major Daily to have the school become 'the state university. However, it was deemed wiser to place the university at Lincoln and make our school a normal. For thirty-eight years Peru was the only normal school ln the state, Kearney Normal being established in 1905, and Wayne and Chadron since. A gala day in 1870 marked the first d · h t t d gra uation exercises w en wo s u ents, :Mrs. Annie Morehead Joy and George Elliot Howard completed their normal course and were awarded diplomas on the spot where "Philo" rocks now stands. In 1873 the school was further enlarged by the construction of a building known as "Old Normal Hall" which stood where the new science building, dedicated in 1929, now stands. In 1887, a frame library was constructed, and about a decade later the original building of the school was destroyed by fire and replaced by the present Mount Vm:t•n Dormitory. • FOOTBALL BANNED • Extra-curricular activities began to interest the students. A few very daring lads actually dared violate college regulations by indulging in secretlve f<'otball games in the pastur& east of tb£; athletic field. The ban was lifted, however, in 1892 when R. D. Moritz, now on Nebraska Unlversity faeulty, was given the coaching position for the team. In 1901 the athletic field was completed and a dedicatory game was played with Falls City High School-Peru emerging vietorious to the tune of a 30-0. The first organization on the campus was the Philomathean Literary Society and was closely followed by the Everetts in 1872. The gymnasium which, until recently in terms of historians, was used also for a chapel building, was dedicated in 1902. Work on a new library 1luilding was also in progress and was finished in 1906. The present administration building was completed in 19Jl and 1917 marked the completion of the T. J. Majors building. More recent constructions have been the Eliza Morgan Dormitory, named for one o; the school's most faithful preceptresses, and the Music Hall. The men's Dormftory completed only a few months ago concludes the buildings now founr1 on Peru Campu.; to L'i..ke it one of the :'.inf'st equipped state teachers' col~eges in this state. Thus, from a river front town for a setting, an abandoned building for classrooms, and a far-seeing man and woman as instructors, Peru college has grown into a beautiful campus graced by modern buildings and housing hundreds of students and a complete faculty department. Peru has surely not disappointed the pioneers whose faith in a person's desire for higher education helped them to plant a. seed of learning in a wilderness.

"By his lectures ye shall know him." Tall, slightly round shouldered, scholarly looking, but with a sense of humor fine as a keen edged blade, Winston B. Thorson, Peru history instructor who has been away on a leave of absence to work on his P.H.D., will return to the campus January 8. Noted by his former pupils and local organizations for his powerful oratory, Thorson was much in demand as a speaker. He addressed the local Kiwanis, the Auburn Kiwanis, the Auburn Women's Club, convocation, and other organizations of, the college. Mr. Thorson has the first draft o! his thesis ready and ls now revising it. He will receive his P. H. D. from the University of Minnesota as soon as his writing on France in the latter part of the nineteenth century is completed. Professor J. D. Karlin, who bas been teaching in Mr. Thorson's stead, will leave for Washngton, D. C. at the close of the semester to do research work on his doctrate. Mr. Thorson, majoring in soelal science, received his A.B. (magna cum lauda) from the University of Minnesota in the spring of '31. He was granted a scholarship and completed his masters degree in '32. While doing course work on his doctrate he had a teaching fellowship from the Uruversity of Minnesota. In the summer of '36 while Dr. Frank Huck was on leave of absence working on his P. H. D., Thorson first came to Peru. The following year B was given a teaching fellowshi;:__ _ __1e University of Wisconsin where he did research work. In the spring of '38 he came to Peru as a substitute and was elected permanent teacher the same spring. Last summer whenever the Bobeats played soft ball they were certain of at least one rooter. Mr. Thorson never failed them. In his undergraduate days he was catcher on the Minnesota University baseball team. Possibly his early training for this game consisted of throwing papers along the route that he has now turned over to (Continued on Page 4)

~ Dr. D.D. STONECYPHER!

Reading has been and will continue to be one of the favorite pastimes of individuals. Therefore, the Creative Leisure group sponsored a book review at Y. w. January 9. Miss Florence Martin reviewed "The Patriot", by Pearl s. Buck. Miss Martin believed this book to be written for two purposes: 1. "to give one a picture of the Chinese in revolution and 2. to show one the difference between the Chinese and Japanese people." Faye Bouse opened the meeting with hymns and led the devotions. Grace Muenchau was accompanist at the piano.

Perhaps county fairs are his hobbies, as the lights of the ferris wheel and the chant of the side barker hold an indescribable fascination for him.

One bright winter afternoon in '38 a small girl boldly trudged up to her class in the raining school. When asked why she had not attended classes that morning, she replied that a Mr. Thorson and her daddy, Mi· C.tayburn, did not deem it wise that she should be present while they were absent. Their absence was based on the grounds that the snow was too deep.

Grainger Brings Own Piano To Insure Noble Performance • Authentic poet of the keyboard, describes Percy Aldrige Grainger, who will display his art before Peru students, February 15. He makes apparent his command of the pianq on one brought with him especially for the occassion. This distinguished pianist a11d composer, who is knoW!l internationally, was born in Australia, July 8, 1882. From his sixth to his tenth year he spent two hours a day at the pia110. He appeared publicly at the age of te11 and by the time he was twelve had earned enough from his co11certs to go to Germany for further musical studies. In 1901 he began his tour of England, South Africa, Holland, and other European countries. Although Bach has always been his favorite composer, he was the first to play many of the modern works. Grainger made his American debut in 1915 and became an American citizen in 1918 while serving as a bandsman in the U. S. Army. Composing as well as playing, this versatile musician thrills audiences wth his melodies that "sing a11d sob and caress and yearn." A 11ovelty, "Trbute to Stephen Foster," made a Bosto11 audience go "wild." Besides folkso11gs, the rollicki11g "Hunter in His Career" a11d the punch and rhythm in the "Marchi11g So11g of Democracy" serve to illustrate the singular type of genius which is his. His playing is marked by i11dividuality, and his concert work "combined wth his powerful touch and perfection of technique are colored with a u11ique a11d admirable personality."

It was as incriminating a dispatch as any issued by a Nazi propaganda minister. As I remember the tone of the letter, such thoughts leap out as, "Britain fighting America's war for the protection

democracy, America's democracy and liberty. America is too cowardly, and too willing to reap all the profits of war and to dump the war expense onto another nation to fight for democracy. She lets other people do her fighting for her. Americans are yellow-livered

s ugs. Our English friend across the waters, after predestinating all Americans to the Inferno for their cowardice and avarice, told her addessee that she knew all her for<;going denunciation of the A · Id k d'ff · h · f · d I· l h · mencans wou ma e no i erence m t e.lf r:en s 11 P anc t eir correspondence; for she knew that t~e Californian could not hold any sympath}'. for· she cowardly Americans and also felt that they were ~ellow-hvered .slugs.. , . . . , Besides not agreemg with the nurses mterpretatton of Amenca s interest and duty in the war, (May I interrupt here to ask, "Who ~tarted the war?")

But the letter declared that the British Empire's interests were not material but ideal. Another remark th~t smacked was that she was certain the British C<'nsor would not obhtrate any of her letter. Why? Because her letter told the truth and. because all Britishers felt the same way about . . · it. . . . . . If this denunc1at10n, of Americans had the same seethmg effect on other listeners as it did on me, I think the censor would have been wise to have wadded the letter and thrown it in the fire.

In the first place, this method is the most conspicuous of all. Secondly, if you walk or talk in your sleep it can be very embarrassing. Of course, it is understood that snorers are automatically barred from using this means of killing time. If, in spite of our warnPRESIDENT WILLIAMS ings ,you feel that your physical and mental well-being depend upon an eight o'clock nap, dark glasses are an aid.

Their gift is in the Science Hall but it is not accessi- ' ble for the purpose of quenching our thirst. There has been a rumor that a philanthropic professor, interested in the welfare of the three-flight climbers, is talking of connecting this fountain to the water pipes. It isn't torrid, hot yet; but when it is, there is nothing like a drink to revive that old spirit. There are a number of places the fountain could be installed. First floor is the proper floor because not all the students have to climb the arch-breakers. Two types of composition cover the first floor halls. The entrance is floored with red-colored tile. It has the advantage in ease of cleaninrr over the covering of the remainder of the floor. This other

Miss Norma Diddel, Miss Grace Tear and Mrs. J. W. Tyler after having visiteel the art exhibit being held in Morrill Hall in Lincoln during the month of March, have highly recommended all art lovers to attend. Following are the words of Mrs. Tyler: "This exhibit should attract all Peruvians who have an interest in painting and sculpture. Many of the noted ~od ern artists whose creations have been reproduced and commented upon in recent issues of Life and Time, as well as in the Art magazines, are represented in this display." "The exhibit is diversified; pleasing (Where your Money buys more) at one turn, annoying and puzzling at the next..

Old-Style Swimming

• I'm wondering what will be the latest style in swimming this summer. It will probably be a set of water wings with a paddle wheel installed or it might even be an auxiliary motor strapped on the shoulders. When I learned to swim people just swam. The idea was to keep afloat and, in an orderly fashion to get somewhere if possible. U you had no place in particular to swim, you just swam 'round and ·round until your lips were blue and then went in. The stroke I was first taught was the "arch or gondola stroke." High out of the water by the bows. This was a dignified and stately way to swim. The legs were shot out straight behind like frog legs, except frog legs are better to eat. Then the more sporting among the swimming crowd took to swimming on one side, with one organ of hearing (ear) dragging in the water. This style was regarded as very athletic, especially if one limb, from the shoulder to the arm, was suspended out of the water at each stroke. But even then thP P'"O • cedure was easy going, pleasant, and more of a pastime than a chore.

•

Peru Singers will appear in sixteen towns before returning to Peru, Sunday, April 7. The group will broadcast from Omaha, April 6, at 3 :30 p. m. over W. 0. W.

This tour is financed by dues, contributions from all members, free-will offerings, pay programs and gifts. The singers find lodging in private homes and hotels. The special feature of the group this year is a clinic which will be given in five different schools. Professor Steck will offer suggestions and criticisms of the high school groups. The chorus will then. demonstrate the desired effects.

• "In the spring a young girl's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of clothes." Now, the problem is how to get the money to buy t11e clothes.

T;;p reason I'm writing this arti~le is tr~ !el: '.nu girls ho·.:r to ~(1lw~ :ie \\·~wn Spring -comes-a-person-has-to- haveclothes-D8d proposition. To sulve this problem, I made a budget. I though;; il' President Roosevelt could do it, I crmld, too. So I did. Of course, I have a little uf the same trouble L' F. D. ;,;,,- budget never seems to balance, but we can't all be perfect, can we? Making out a budget, my friends, is no easy job. In order to have a budget, the most important thing· is to have some money. I c!on't know why this is but it's just one of those things. It's the same principle that is employed by scientists who say, "You can't make silk purses out of molehills. " or words to that effect. After we get some money, the next is to get about three scatch-pads, fou1 pencils, an art-gum eraser, and five little envelopes. Then find a comfortable spot where you can concentrate and be near the aspirin bottle. Place these materials on the desk, take a deep breath, and dash madly through the nearest (Joor. Sprint around the house about twice, come back to your desk, and sit down. Now you are rea<ly to work. Let's say that we have $50 to budget, and that the $50 must be distributed between clothes, room-rent. meals, savings and miscellaneous.

Peruvian Bugbears Worry Editor Mary Liz Werner "I am afraid to go to sleep at night because staff members have had so many dreams about the Peruvian," ·d Ed'to Werner "I 1 r Mary El'zabeth 1 sai · am rather superstitious about dreams." Dean Karr c!reamed that the Peruvian came off the press wearing a brilliant red cover and the book contained nothing but advertising. Photographer Peterson on his next visit to Peru said he too had a Peruvian dream. In it the pictures were fuzzy as if they had suddenly grown a crop of whiskers. "I just know this is a bad omen and that something terrible is going to happen," predicted the eciitor. Sh.e continued with, "I get the biggest kick out of helping Mr. Peterson take pictures. He lets me arrange the pose. Then he shoots." Mary Liz, who knows, declares, "There are. a Jot of griefs, but the class panel sections are really the hardest,. I know I tore up one page at least six times, sentJt to the printer and then discovered that I had left out one pieture." According to Miss Werner, the editor's first job is to choose, with the help of the business manager, a staff of eleven members. "Most of ours were on last year's Staff. "The next job, and even bigger one is to choose a color scheme, a theme, and to decide whether the book is to be formal or informal." Mathematically-minded Mary Liz uncovered the method of determining the amount of material for a page, "It is a matter of mathematics. We mea-

sure the exact amount of space needed for pictures, then measure the amount left for words. We determine the number of words needed and from this, we know what size of type can be used." Mary Liz wants an All American rating but competition will be stiff. "This year we are in a higher class because our larger enrollment and will compete with colleges having enrollments of 600 to a 1000.'' Exact information on the 1940 Peruvian is not for publication but she stated that the style is very informal and pictures are being bled to the edge of the page.

W. Sponsors Mock Dramas

Of Washburn College Puppets

•

Sponsored by the Y.W.C.A., the Washbmn Marionettes from Washburn College, Karusas, Will perform in the College Auditorium Friday, April 12. The admission is lOc and 25c for both the afternoon and evening performances. Millard Bryan, a member of the dramatic department of Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas, is assisted by his wife in operating the puppets. In the March-April, 1937 issue of the "Players" magazine, this brief hiotory of the Washburn Marionettes is given: "Seven years ago, Dr. Arthur D. Gray, a Topeka physician, as a hobby, made some puppets and gave a show. Dr. Philip C. King, president of Washburn College, saw the perform· ance and invited Dr. Gray to conduct a class in marionettes as part of the night school program for adult education." Each year, members of the class design a complete production, make the puppets, scenery and present It. Some of the puppet: plays given are; "Coppersmith of Bagdad,'' Robert L. Stevenson's "Lodging for a Night," "The Nuremburg Olock," •uncle Tom's Cabin," and "Snow White and the Dwarfs." Of the show, Mrs. Anna Best Joder said,· "Mrs. Dunning and I were very greatly impressed by the performance. The Marionette Company request that their expenses be paid, but they ask for no other commission. Eula Redenbaugh, who saw the puppets at Estes, said, "The puppets were so good that my interest was aroused the minute the play began, and It never lagged until the final curtain was drawn. It's an experience I'll never forget."

ADVICE TO BOOK LOVERS ON. USES OF LIBRARY

•

VOLUME XXXV

Recognizing The Library

• Do you know where the library is? This isn't an "Infirmation Please" Column, but before you can understand what I'm talking about, let me direct you. The library is the building· with steps leading up to it; the walls are made of brick; and there are windows and ivy growing on it. Education's Hardest Study

•

Internal Workings

• After you have braved the storm and have gotten inside the place you find tables and chairs and just gobs of books. The object of the library is to get the student inside the library, have them sit down in one of the chairs and look at a book. Now, I say this is the object of the library building, but the plans seems a trifle weak in spots. In the first place, all the books don't have pictures in them. This means that the reader must either supply his own, or make pretty lines all over the pages, and it's darn tedious to do, and where does it get you? Then, too, you may have gotten into the building by mistake, especially at night, when .it's dark and you can't see where you're going. One way to determine whether you have or not is: If you have waited in the lobby for two hours, vour date hasn't showfl up, and there isn't l\ telephone bDoth in sight. ~·ou can be ~,ure .?'Ju're in the wrong place.

Proved Rules For Studying

NUMBER 21

CLIFTON, JENSEN TO REIGN Peruvians With Short Skits

To get in the library, walk up the outside steps, open the door, and walk in. But don't stop when you're gone that far, for heaven's sake. The library doesn't begin until you go up the next flight directly in front of you and open the next door. I admit, getting in those two doors is the hardest study of one's college education, but 2-3's of the battle is won, when you have succeeded.

view (I hope he didn't mean it) that there was no need to study; he would be fighting in the European fracas in a short time. War was the subject discussed at Y. 1vf. last Tuesday, including; the possibility of a Peace Parade Demonstration. It's just an idle wondering, but I do wonder ho'W many of you Peru State students would participate in such a demonstration. Or are you in favor of America entering the war?

THERE ARE MEN, AND AGAIN-

• What with Leap Year and all, I suppose "men", (and I use quotation marks purposely) ls as good a topic as any, don't you? Now, as far as rm concerned, there are men, and then agaffi, there are men. Kijillng once said that a woman is a rag, a !Jone, and a hank of hair. It seems to me that he either got his wires crossed, or the women in those days weren't very good specimens. However, I will grant that a woman may .look like a rag, but that is probably because some man doesn't leave enough money under her plate at breakfast or in his trouser's pockets at night. The only reason I can see that a woman has a liank of hair is because she either doesn't rinse her hair properly, or she has a pretty awful hair-dresser. But the bone stumps me. Mr. Kipling must have got that mixed up with the soup-bone the grocer sent for wash day dinner. To counteract Kipling's definition of a woman, I offer this as a somewhat adequate classification of a man: A man is a brag, a groan, and a tank of air. Men can be separated into four different cages or cells.

Ghosts have taken to cavorting at night and behaving in a manner quite improper to a self-respecting spook. The spectres of the Peru Dramatic Club party, April 26, did stunts and played games instead of their conventional practice of rattling chains and haunting skeptics who don't believe in ghosts. Dorothy "Sadie Hawkins" Ewin won a prize for asking the "most answerable" questions in spin-the-milk-bottle. Each of the ghosts did a skit of the character he portrayed.

This man never seeini to target that his great-great-great-a-randpeipPf was a natural for Barnum and Bailey'• man on the flying trapeze. He believe& that the cave-man era, when fellas courted their women with clubs and rocks, was only yesterday. He and J. Caesar are first cousins. He comes, he sees, and he conquers with his mi:.nly physique; his chest looks like a baby blimp most of the time. He even does up the hair ori his chest on curlers every night, just so women will swoon at his feet. Then we have the animated necktie rack type. This heeman clothes-horse believes that dates are for the purpose of showing off one's clothes. Every day is Easter Parade day to him. With his eye-brows in his hair, he doesn't like to mingle with the herd for fear he'll get mussed up. It you happen to appear a little on the seedy side at times, this type of man will do a Lucius Beebe and almost have an epileptic fit because you are a trifle messy. If you don't admire his clothes or his snazzy new ties, he accuses you of being unfaithful. Next, we have the Lone-Ran,ger-HiHo-Silver species. T h i s type never knows a stranger. It's almost like walking around with a megaphOne to trot down the street with him. With eyes like a grasshopper, he sees everything that goes on, and he acts like an F. B. I. agent, when he sees something going on that he doesn't know about. His nose keeps getting longer and longer from putting it into other people's business, until you really feel that Pinnochlo can't hold a candle to him. Lastly but not leastly, we have the Clark-Gable-Rhett-Butler-Ma--He's makin' -eyes-at-me-but-ain't-I ·-glad type. This kind of man just makes one sigh and sigh and sigh. He causes your cardiac lining to palpitate just a teeny, weeny bit faster every time you look at him. And he's usually the guy who either never gets married or is already 'piarried before you get a chance to even wink at him. Let me close with this little snatch of sediment----· --. In the merry month of May, When the frost is off the pumpkin, And the fodders turned to hay, It seems most opportune to say, "What a wonderful thing a ma:i

"MISS.,JIMMY" GETS SNUBBED IN TS SENIOR CLASS PLAY

•

Exciting events in the life of Jimmy Miller, will be presented Friday night in the College Auclltorium when the Training School Seniors will give their class pll!y, "Miss Jlmmy". Brier Mountain College for Women proves to be too exclusive for Jimmy, but Louise and her chums manage to make things interesting. Droopy, the colored janitor, who ls just about as fast under the hat as he is on the ground, often complicates matters in the pursuit of his "little red hen". Professor Frazier with an OXford accent declares everything to be "frightfully distressing." The seniors are rehearsing diligently and promise their audience an evening of real entertainment.

To prove that they weren't pushovers and just happened to be lucky when they whipped Maryville they polished off the Doane racketeers, 4-2, for the second victory of the season. The Bobcats did it in the Tigers own lair. Halladay, Sommers, and Brod each won their singles matches, but Locke lost a tough one to Mayer, of Doane.

Brown of Benson Sets New Record in 440

Typical blustery, windy, football weather prevailed when some thirty high schools vied for M-I-N-K honors last Saturday afternoon in the Peru stadium. As in all meets the cold weather did have effect on the boys, and according to those participating much better time would have been turned in had there been warmer weather. The meet turned out to be one of the closest in years, with Jackson amassing 28\6 points for first place. Tech ran a close second with 27112 points and Benson third with 19 counters. Howard Dean's team from Sargent was fourth with 11 tallies. Dean graduated from Peru last year, and was one of the all-round athletes on the campus. Havelock fifth, 10; Fairbury and Auburn tied for sixth, 9; Plattsmouth seventh, a; Tecumseh eighth, '7, and Humboidt ninth with six markers. Outstanding men of the meet were: Brown of Benson, who won the 100 yd. dash and who set a new M.I.N.K. record in the 440 at 51.8; Bridges of Tech, who won the broad Jump at 20 feet 111/i inches, and copped second in the 100 and 220 dashes; Niehart of Jackson, who won both hurdle events, and tied the low hurdle record at 23.9, and Henderson of Jackson, who won the high jump and placed second in the shot put. In the 880 relays Benson and Tech tied at 1;35.1. Each ran in a different heat. They flipped a coin to see who would take the trophy and who would take the medals. Benson called it and took the medals. Summary: One mile-Won by Porter, Havelock; Jackson, Tech, second; Sullivan, Bellevue, third.

• The first pages in Peru golfing history were written last Wednesday, April 25, when four battling Bobcats teed off against the Doane Tigers. When the day was over and the time came for the records to be placed in the golf annals, the Peru squad was a sad lot. Score: Doane 6:!z, Peru 5%. But the score cards show that the Peru bunch shot great golf. Jack Floyd carded a 72; a score that would make a pro envious. Floyd's 72 was but two over par, having birdied two holes and parring i2. Juarez, his opponent, never beat him a hole. Floyd won hands down 16 up. Dunlap and Brown fought a tough battie from the first hole to the last, but Brown's 85 was two better than Dunlap's 87. On the last hole Cain's man got lucky and sank a putt that put Bill down with a 83, and giving his opponent, Kinsey, a 82. . Handley and Goons fought to a draw, both chalking up 91. The long postponed meet with Omaha U. is scheduled for today. Doane.

Sports of Yesteryear Bobcats win dual meet with Tarkio, amass:ng a total of 74~" points to their opponents 55 \G. This victory was ceded to the Bobcats, without the aid of their championship 880 relay team. They did not participate in this meet as the boys were competing in the Drake ;e!ays at DesMoines, Iowa. This team was the only Nebraska school to qualify for the finals. Peru Prep was defeated on a wet and slipi>ery track by Auburn, 66 16 to 33';G. All of Auburns points were amassed due to their ability to capture firsts, while the prepsters were good for seconds and thirds. For the Bobkittens, Pate won the shotput and the javelin, Newton captured the 220, and Gaines grabbed the discus. 5 YEARS AGO: The Peru tennis squad trimmed the Omaha U's netsters by winning every set, both the doubles and singles. Tarkio defeats the Bobcats track team, 93% to 42%, and to make it unanimous, was victorious over the tennis squad, winning four sets to Peru's three. 1 YEAR AGO: The Bobcat tracksters grab second in a qulntangular meet with 43% points. York won the meet, nabbing a total of 59% points, Wesleyan was third with 32'h, Doane fourth with an even 30 points, and Midland brought up the the rear with 8'h counters. Len Greathouse was high for Peru with 13 points,, and turned in two excellent performances, a high jump of 6 feet 1 in., and a broad jump of 22 feet 4 inches.

AS I WAS SAYING

•

• As an ardent golf fan and student of Peru college, I would like to extend my congratulation and similar expressions of the student body to those four fellows who represent Peru, as Peru's first golf team, in the uneventful match with Doane last Wednesday. Contrary to those movie versions of a college's first golf game showing a team shooting super golf and becoming idols overnight, our team was beaten out, not as we would like to have had it, but as things like that happen in every day life. They played the game like they never played before, only to lose by one point. So to those members of the first golf team, Jack Floyd, Lloyd Dunlap, Bill Cain, and "Squirt" Handley, I offer my humble congratulations. I still think that the Doane bunch was lucky, and when Peru meets Omaha U. the Golden Spike celebration will probably take place in Peru.

Come-on gang, let's give three hip's two hoe's and one ray for one of the grandest guys and greatest athlete that Peru has ever produced. What? You mean you can't guess? Why, you remember that small, brown-as-aberry, mite you cheered yourself hoarse over on the gridiron last fall; during track season haven't you watched him dash arouna ,;mt oval with the ease of a born pacer? Okay then, it's none other than the answer to any Coach's prayer, Jim Mather. Since you already know that Jimmee is a past wizard on the football field, we'll take up his immediate interest, track. With the grace and ease of a thoroughbred, Jim has run his way into the hearts of most of the coaches in the State of Nebraska, and to be more specific, coaches Wheeler and Jones. Mather has drawn many gasps of admiration from the student body with his effortless stride down the Tennis and go!! teams will meet back-stretch, and has delighted many Omaha U., April 30; Doane, May 1, and of the sports-minded Peru coeds by beYork, May 3. Al! tennis meets will be coming a sure winner when he "barat Peru, and golf meets at Auburn. rels" down ol' home stretch. Jim is more than proud of his calleetion of track medals, 45 medals, and more than 15 ribbons, most of them earned during his high school career. The "Arapahoe flash" was chosen as the most outstanding prep GRADUATES! track athlete in the state of Nebraska If you wish to join the commerin 1936, and was presented with the cial agency with a personal inPentathlon medal.

A FUNNY ANIMAL

Robert Benchley once said, "Woman is a funny animal. She will tie her neck in a knot, looking back ,Jver her ·~ shoulder to see if her slip is showing. , She will walk clear across town to bear the latest bit of gossip; she feels disappointed if someone has already beaten her there. She picks up tll.e craziest combinations of flowers, felt, feathers and imaginaticn, and wears it upon the top of her head. She calls it a hat. Yes, woman is one of natures most agreeable blunders." I agree most readily with Mr. Benchley and might add that they are something· that men marry. They haTe two hands, and two feet, and somet!moa two husbands, but never more than one idea at a time. There are those who doubt that they even have that. Like cigarettes, they are all made from the same material. And like cig·arettes, they all want us to think that they are different or better than the ordinary brands.

As each person entered the northern land, he was endowed with an American Beauty rose. Mixers in the form of novelty dances occurred at intervals during the eyening. Persons holding on to the end of mixed bits of string found their new dance partners. Pieces of candy were matched. Elimination dances were in the form of the game "Going to Jerusalem." The evening's dancing was accompanied by recordings. Dr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Bra4tord and Mr. Ansel B. Clayburn were faculty guesta. Punch and caketi were served by Dorothy Ewin and Doris Starkebaum. Committees were headed by Dean Karr; decorations; Phyllis Benson, program; and Edna Mae Petersen, refreshments.

In addition to her work, Mary will attend seminar discussions and take part in social activities of the camp. Eula Redenbaugh represented Peru on the working staff last summer·.

Fire descended to consume Elijah's offering. Then he prayed for relief from the misery. Help came. For this, the people sang praises to God. The Queen with Ahab's help turned the people against Elijah. He then fled to a mountain for protection. While on Mount Harel a fiery chariot drawn by fiery horses appeared and in a whirlwind took Elijah to heaven. After this dramatic scene, the people of Israel turned unto the Lord. In Him they found help and strength.

So! You're Afraid of Mice! DAVIDSON TO PRESErn •

"i\!Iary, get down off that chair, that mouse won't 11urt you!" Of course it won·t., that is, one mouse won't hurt "ou, but did you know that we have a r~.onse, a rat, :u1d more mice right here en our own campus? I don't mean to imply tllaL all of these creatures are man or lady-killers, nor are they altogether wild--but. personally, i steer plenty clear of them myself. It is a y,.el! known Iact 1,hat. girls (some men loo--maybel will >.hudder, scream and Lry to i un from the littlest-bitsy mouse, but these same females are not nne bi\. manhandled or afraid of the 190 pound, so-called, muscle man. Is this c;·:plainablc? But, just in case yen are the one that is just a wee bit ~ lkr~;tc to m;ce and rats, I'll try to u,·ive you some of the finer points of a "rn ts" life. and perhaps you may be able to appreciate these furry creatures more than you have in the past. Last fall, the science department, or more r.pecifically, Dr. Odlaug, purchased a pair of rats, a male and female, from the science department in Lincoln, for the pm pose of raising baby rats. This has been a very simplified r:roccss since systematically, every six weeks, a crop of baby white mice arc born. There has been very little up keep to these animals, and althou~b

they require an rtttendant, Noel Lunr.~·, they are of little bother. They eat an average of one handful of corn each ~L~ • <1nrl drink pe.l ~.)Js a 1 alf pint 1· water every twenty-four hours, and this is all the nourishment they need. Two guardians have been placed over them from t.ime to time b,v the caictaker. that is, tw.J JcnuinP alley cats. These feline animals are here to eat field mice that steil in to w~nl the fe•:d fc the pets. fc, ,;;tr,, both 01 t1wse animals have disappeared, and not a soul has seen nor heard from them. Str::mge goings on? Maybe the rats carried them off, s'pose? These litters of baby rats are used up nearly as fast as they are born. Today the cage has only five of these creatmes living there. They are used by the professors for experimental purposes in the zoology classes, the physiology and hygiene class, nature study, and in the biology laboratory courses. They are rn:ed specifically for the p1Epose of testing the action of narcotics, dopes, strychnine, diseases, and many other things. Therefore, under these circumstance;; the next time you see a rat or mous0 you can say to yourself, "Why be afraid of him--he's just an experimental animal, if he can take it, so can I!"

The principal cha~ctcrs are the immortal :;pirits of a young boy and girl, played by Ginger Trively and Frank Summers, who have been killed in an auto accident. They find they have been stripped of the veneer acquired while on earth and that each exists as the inner c;oul of hi• former self.

FORMS OF HUMOR

• It has always been our policy lo give as much and as complete information as possible to our various readers, if any. Therefore, we shall continue our course of both educating and amusing our readers, we hope. With this in mind, then, we shall devote these five hundred odd words to a discussion of the various· forms and k.Uids of humor both good, oad, and the kind you find at Peru.

familiar with cross-word puzzles !Jr<~ no doubt come acros:; a thtee-icttcr word meaning "a play upon wcrds." When the ne:;t clay's pape:r came out. a.1d he found the answer, i12 saw that t.he three-letter word unclcr discussion w.1s "pun." The dictionary says that a pun is "the w't!.y u:;e uf a word in two senses." This is Lo Le highly questioned, from the sta11dp0:nt of one who is attempting a :,crious cL;cussion of American humo:-. Most puns are not wi~ty. Most puns lack one sense, let alone two. In ot.her vvords. they are not even half-witty. For example, our mutual friend. Herr Adolph Hitler, has been malig11ed in the following manner: "Mr. Hitler claims to be a liberator, but most people think he's nazi hot in that role." This pun may ~ound rather old but then you will find as we go on that there is hair on all these jests. JOKES, SUBTLE HUMOR

•

Jokes may be divided into two classes-those with a point, and those without a point: Pointless jokes require very little technique and the sense of humor involved is comparable to that which prompts the prnct;cal jo1'::er to pass out loaded cigars. There'ore, this colum~p~rns itself solely with those jokes 'Eeh reqmre tile :nore subtle sense of humor. All such jokes have spnmg from Joe Miller's classic: Who was that lady I saw you with last night? That was no lady; that was my wife. From this has evolved the latest 1940 1ersio11: Who was that lady I saw you with last night? That was no lady; that was my wife. ~RO VERBS

• The last form of humor which we ;hall discuss is, we hope, humorous ;ayings and proverbs. We shall limit mrselves, in our discussion, to those mtsicle the realm of Confucius. and ii/alter Winchell. Such proverbs retuire a punch ending, such as: Every man has a right to boss his wifeand ~ left to defend himself when he tries it.

PERSONAL MEANDERING There's space for just a bit of personal meandering. To me, THE PERU PEDACOGIAN, will always be one of my unforgetable memories of Peru . It was work for the PED staff and for the PED r<>porters. It meant spending weekends in Peru; it meant criticism kr unluckv errors. It cut in on a seven-hour sleep schedule; it reqnired a f~eckled epidermis and smear of rnlcanic ash, the commerci:il face powder, to conr hollow eves. But. ho11·eYc1 hard the knocks were, the PED was worth every of them.
