After being a war casualty for two years, the Peruvian-1946 style-appears to take its place with its predecessors as a mirror of the unforgettable scenes and activities of Peru State Teachers College. In this way we hope partially to capture the spirit of college life with its varied activities, lasting friendships, work and play, victory and defeat, joy and sorrow. May this book provide the means by which you will be able to recapture, in the memoryfilled years to come, those fleeting months when you were developing from adolescence to adulthood, and preparing to take your place in a turbulent world. If we can help one student recall these pleasant days, we
shall not begrudge the long hours of work and worry we have spent making this annual possible. The "campus of a thousand oaks" will always hold a very warm spot in the heart of all true Peruvians. Here is the review of life on that campus in the year of 1946.

At the outbreak of the war in 194 1 Peruvians started marching off valiantly to uphold the ideals of democracy. Many made the supreme sacrifice so that we might continue to live in a free world. After V-J Day they gradually began to return to Peru once again to take up their peacetime studies, and with them came many of their b rothers-in-arms who are newcomers to the "campus of a thousand oaks" . It is an honor and a privilege to welcome and be so closely associated w ith these men who not only helped w in the peace but are p reparing to be leaders in the world of tomorrow.

Sadly they realize that it is time to leave the "campus o f a thousand oaks" which holds so many p riceless m emories for them.

for two years, 1944 and 1945, the PERUVIAN was a war casulty. However, classes continued despite the war and the conspicuous absence of many students, and thus two grad uat ing classes departed from Peru without any record of their final year at P.S.T.C. Fo r that reason we are including this section of the Seniors of 1944- 1945.

The juniors have now become old timers in campus activities after two years of hard experience. They have puzzled over the ancient q u estion. "How late can I sleep and still get to my e ight o'clock class?" A few have actually found the answer. Be ing veterans of tests, these juniors have discovered each teache r's style a nd have become skilled in guessing what will be asked on a quiz. In ex-
ploring the nooks of higher education, some of them have found that it pays to study. Acting as hosts to the seniors, they presented a very successful barndance, much to the enjoyment of all concerned . Presid ent Esther Steiner, Vice-President Dor is Wagner, and SecretaryTreasurer Bill Tho mpso n le d the class the second semester.

The sophomores, only recently advanced from the "green" stage, became fu ll-fle d ged Peruvians and accepted a ll the fun a n d work pertaining thereto. Taking time ou t for an evening, after trying to acquire th a t bookish look, they set the pace for the other classes by holding a successful theater party w hich e n ded in the recreation rooms of Delzell Ha ll with gam es and refreshments.
Highlight of the year was their con vocation program, sponsored by Red Tape, broad cast from station P.S.T.C., and complete with stock market re ports, singing commercials, and a soap opera. Class officers were President Ruth Ann Crook, Vice-President Don Au fenkamp, and Secretary-Treasu:rer Phyllis Winkle.

Miss Tear, acting as sponsor and counselor of the bewildered freshmen, makes each of their problems her own. She guides them through their first arduous days of registration and gives them a hearty send-off into their college careers. She makes it a point to know each freshman personally; consequently she knows everyone on the campus, for at one time they were all "wee" freshmen. She was the originator of the popular freshman clubs.

When school opened in September, the freshmen discovered that they were enjoying rights and privileges heretofore unheard of. Benefiting both physically and mentally by an extremely light initiation, they soon found their "slots" and began adding their bits to campus life. Starting off right, they showed what they could do in their Talent Night, starte d their numerous clubs rolling,
and staged a convocation program which was a jumbled combination of psychology and campus life. In addition, with the help of Miss Tear they held successful parties. The freshmen were ruled the second semester by a three-man-and-a-girl staff consisting of President Merl Sherman, Vice-President Artie Lindsey, Secretary G eorge Coup e, and Treasurer Ruth Holscher.

The first Navy V-12 unit , under the command of Lt. R. B. Lowe. arrived at Peru in July, 1943, bringing with it men from the four corners of the United States. In a short time the uniformed "gobs" took o v er Delzell Hall. renamed it "The Ship," started to attend classes, became familiar figures o n the campus, and in general had "the situation well in hand." The unit spent seven trimesters a t Peru and during that time the 478 men s tationed here received basic officer's training from both regular faculty members and from special naval instructors who were secu red for that purpose. Navy classes w ere distinct from those of the regular college. The V-12 s tudents did much to liven up the campus during the two years they were here, and partially owing to the lack of civilian men, the sailors partic ipated in nearly all of the campus activities. They were largely responsible fo r the ex is te nce of competitive a thletics, helped in dramatic productions, and spots of Navy b lue dotted the band and orchestra. The solid Macs, an all-Navy swing band, was also organized. In addition the men handled the "girl" s ituation very capably. Most of th e trainees like d the atmosphere of Peru and the college, and when the group was disbanded in October, 1945, many were sorry to have to leave the "campus of a thousand oaks." Besides getting train ing necessary for becoming naval officers, they. had Lt. E. H . Carl, Commanding O fficer good times which they wlll not soon forget. The last group was commanded by Lt. E. H. Carl. Lt. J. M. Ho lman was the medical officer, and Lt. W. H. Pursley was in charge of naval science. The remainder o f the staff included Lt. (j.g.) W. E. Bambarger, CSp (A) E. J. Grochowski PhMlc F. A. Hoffman, PhM3c J. 8. Johnson, Y2c J. R. Kegley, Sklc G. D. Quinn ~nd Sp (A) 2c M. R. Russell.

The Ionic columns of the T. J. Majors Training school are merely a camouflage, for inside is nothing suggestive of the ancients. Instead, there is a progressive group of young Peruvians-progressive in mu!:'.ic, athletics, and studies from kindergarten to college. Big brothers and sisters from P.S.T.C. enter there as student teachers and take ideas of progressive teaching, everything from gymnastics to 9hysics. This year the supervisors launched a successful hot lunch program, rejuvenated the T. S. Band, sponsored the Bobkittens who took the honors in athietics, and initiated many other activities. We must not forget this " little red school house" , for tomorrow, today's pupils of readin', writm', and 'rithmetic will lind their places in our democracy.

STUDENT COUNCIL In early September and until late October the Student Advisory Council boasted a total of ten members with Ralf Graham as president, Ruth Comstock, vice president, and Dorothy Moody, secretary-treasurer. With the close of the V- 12 unit, the council los t its two hard-working Navy men, Ward Clark and Bill Kerr. Thanks go to those two for the cooperation between the V-12 unit and the college in presenting what was thought to be one of the best Homecomings in the history of Peru. This year the council assumed the duties of the formal Social Committee whose chief responsibility had been to sponsor all-college dances. The council proudly boasts of its greatest accomplishment, establishing the BOBINN. Through the combined efforts of sponsors Arthur Reynolds and Clyde Banfield and the members, in addition to partial financing by the council, the BOBINN effectively began to function early in January. It has already begun to expand, and is rapidly becoming the outstanding attraction on the campus. Again the annual May Fete and crowning of the May Queen was held, and an old P.S .T.C. tradition was reinstated. This festival climaxed a successful year of counciling.

This notice appeared quite regu larl y in the Eliza Morgan l obby, especially just before each formal. Reading this announcement, every coed knew that th e Council was up to some th ing. Usually , wh e n a for mal w as in s to re, the council w an ted to know how many were in terested and late r how many were actually going to the d ance . This information was necessary, for the Council had to consider the number going in order to get the bes t o rches tra fo r the price it could af fo rd to pay. Besides sponsoring tw o fo r mals, the Counci l also assumed a responsibility formerly belon ging to Gamma Chi- that of giving a Chris tmas Tea. Amidst candleli ght and m usic, facu l ty members and wives enjoyed entertainment prov ided by their hostesses- dormitory women. Secur inq junior-senior privileges was one of the main goals achieved by the Council. Because of the small number of upperclass women, members of the Council included a ll seniors and tw o representatives fro m each of the other three classes .

-路 BAND An adventure note was added to the band as the members "bussed" their way to out of-town games. A journey to the Doane football game began the trip fever which rose steadily throughout the basketball season as pepsters packed themselves off to Doane, Wesleyan, and Wayne. Last September the band was dominated by the feminine element. The V -12 musicians relieved the situation temporarily, but by the second semester empty chairs were filled by DeMaro, Drexler, Cleveland, and Hunzeker, and the band played on.
Student directors Jean Van Camp and Tony DeMaro proved competent as collectors of money and music for band trips as w ell as givers of the downbeat at games. With the close of the basketball season the band softened down to more se ri ous music which was included in the program for Music Week. During the second semester Freddie Drexler, Tony DeMaro, Phyllis Hogenmiller. Willard Hunzeker, Wally Cleveland, and Gerald Matschulat polished up their brass and the sextette played music- good and solid.

CHORUS The all-girl chorus of the first semester cheerfully folded up its soprano-second-alto music and welcomed the more satisfying sopranoalto- tenor-bass of the old times. With the addition of Mr. Paulson to the faculty, and thfo' presence of more men on the campus, the Perusingers again came into being . W rinkled choir robes were ironed out, risers were set up, and rus ty throats w ere lubricated with use. Strains of a bit of Bach and "Ole Man River" a long with novelties such as "Turkey in the
Straw" were heard over the campus during chorus rehearsals. A girl's sex!ette happened out of the group one day an:l. kept right on happening as Norma Mehlin, Una Mae Leech, Ruth Ann Crook, Ru th Meister, Mary Lou Genoa, and Jean Van Camp met for a sing after each day 's classes. The first appearance of the chorus at a public recital in March was the tantali zi ng beginning of a d e licious dream- a school bus, chorus trips, and g eneral good times .

KAPPA DELTA PI Kappa Delta Pi, the club which not only discusses educational subjects but also teaches the art of cooking and dish-washing, might well be called the "Eatin-est" Club on the campus. The program for the year, outlined by President Ruth Comstock and Vice-President Margaret Spe llman, centered around the "Seven Cardinal Principles of Education." It deviated a bit in February when Don Lienemann expounded his war experiences. O f course we must not neglect to mention
!hat Santa Claus came once again to the Maxwell home where all Kadelpians had a wonderful time guessing and then unwrapping. In March Esther Steiner, delegate, and Bernice Bletscher, alternate, went to Milwaukee to attend the National Kappa Delta Pi Convention. The Kadelpians sponsored the May-Day Breakfast and the Inter-Fraternity Banquet. The year's work was cli maxed by a May picn ic. Secretary of the club was Una Mae Leech and the treasurer was Bernice Bletscher.

SIGMA TAU DELTA Sigma Tau Delta is the national honor society for English students. Phi Alpha chapter was organized on the campus in 1926 and was the second active chapter in Nebraska. Students who major in English and who maintain above-average grades in that subject are eligible for active membership. To reach senior grade, the individual must have published in school or other publications 5,000 words of original writing . Students who minor in English and who maintain the required grades are eligible to become associate members. Two initiations are held during the regular term in connection with the fall and spring banquets. Another initiation is held during the summer session. Sigma Tau Deltans sponsor the publications of "Si fting Sands." This is a compilation of original writings by members and other Peruvians who care to contribute. This year the eleventh spring edition will be published under the direction of Dr. A. L. Bradford, sponsor of the organization.

Members of the first semester Journalism class w e re responsible for writing the articles and were constantly guided and prodded by the "higher-ups." Because of a reduced budget this year, the Ped appeared only twice a month. Each Saturday before the Ped went to press, the advisor, the editors, and faithful reporters could be found feverishly measuring columns, counting out headlines, and typing last minute s tories . Rex Floyd, for a time, assumed the job of sports editor and Elmer Bachenberg handled the advertising for the second semester. Members of the Journalism class. in addition to those who were interested in writing as an extra curricular activity, continued as reporte rs . The edi tors brought upon themselves a bit of trouble when they ran a personality sketch of Miss Norenberg while she was "down," but they felt that it was worth the "scolding."

PERUVIAN Riter two years of silence broken only by the gambols of silver fish and box elder bugs, the PERUVIRN office once again resoundedin the autumn of 1945- w ith the activities, verbal and manuaL of a staff determined to publish a yearbook.
R totally inexperienced stall entered those untidy premises, but within a few short weeks had learned how to wire an office for lighting (including the easiest way to burn out a llOV bulb) , how to file waste paper on the floor, and how to make announcements in convocation. R trip to Minneapolis in late Novembe r along with innumerable conferences with Mr. Rrnold of the State Journal and countless hours studying layouts of other year books taught the editor and business manager the necessary particulars of publishing an annual. Finding film , flashbulbs, and a photographer was like finding a specific grain of sand on the bank of Missouri. By haunting photography stores, the staff secured the necessary suppiies a day or two before the "0" hour. Rolf Graham, editor, by the trial and error me thod, learned about shutter speeds and back shutters; so you have this book.
The editorial stall consisted of Rex Floyd, sports, and Ramona Handley, Esther Steiner, Ruth Meister, Louela Tiemann, and Sam Brad路 ford . Ruth Comstock, who did the managing, tried hard to make both ends meet. She was assisted by Sales Managers Margaret Spellman and Lois Christensen, and Rdvertising Managers Ru th Ann Crook and Bonnie Rufenkamp. The typing was taken care o f by Margaret W ellensiek.

With drive and attack on the gridiron and strong suppo rt from the student body, the well trained Bobcats develo ped into victorious and hig hly-rated ski n-haulers. Six games of a short season showed only one loss. a Ho mecoming tie, and four outstanding victories. Peruvians from both civilian and Navy sources donned the Bobcat suits a t the beginning of fall p ra ctice; they included sixteen men from each source. Coach AI Wheele r a nd his able Navy assistant, Mark Russell, viewed a team o f 200 pounders for the line, and a backfield of light, fast men. This team carried the spirit, de termination , and pigskin-abili ty which has b een carried

down through decades of Peruvian his tory, and proved itself worthy of the name, Bobcats. The team was ranked by Williamson, National Sports Syndicate writer, a s one of the strongest Teachers College teams in the United Sta tes. Through superior Wheeler-Russell coaching, the men, wearing football toggery fo r the first time, acquired enough knowle dge o f the game to deve lop a clicking combination. Players w ent into each contest w ith the philosophy that the bes t team on the gridiron must p lay hard, fas t, and smart ball.

PERU 0-W.A.SHBURN 21 On the basis of early porkhide season activities , the Bobcats showed little strength as they travelled to Topeka, Kansas to meet Washburn University. In defeat the 'Cats learned much which helped them during the remainder of the season. The Ichabods scored early in the first quarter, s pearheaded a drive in the second, and in the closing minutes of the g a me tallied number th ree. Peru's only threat came in the last stanza, but fai led after a fumble . An earlier bid was s topped by the half-time gun. Passing by Patterson and Kernan, with Good on the receiving end, was good in six out of eleven tries. Interceptions by Peru 's defense clicked to perfection; the 'Ca ts snatched three of Washburn's tries. PERU 34-DO.A.NE 7 Staging a rousing comeback, the Bobcats journeyed to Crete with a fu ll volley of 16-inch guns to score hit after hit for their first victory of the sea s on. They were ably backed by a noisy cheering section of enth us ias tic Peruvians. On the turf, Jim Patterson lugged the ball play after play without a set-back and reached pay dirt once; Kernan s truck twice; and Ruede scored once. Saul's tackle behind the goal s tripe added a safety, and Rosen blum rounded out the !a lley by a pass from P a t t e r s o n. Thompson's ability t o snag passes proved his worth at end. The lone Doane score came in the first period.

PERU 7-WflRRENSBURG 0 Coach Al wi th his mixed group of civilian and navy Blue and Whites hit Missouri dirt, and threw the Mules of Warrensburg for a 7-0 loss. After being held scorele ss during the first half because of a rainy field, the Peru machine began to function and Rosenblum scored from the fifteen a fter a drive had been started in the third can to by Ruede, He iliger, Patterson, and Kernan . The odd point came from Ruede's toe. The high-light in mid-line play was when Becker recovered a fumb le on the thi rty-five but was s topped on the five marker as the gun sound ed. Matschullat and Owen lent excellen t defensive action, and a long with backer-up Patte rson, held the Mules in their own te rritory mos t o f the session. PERU 31-W.flRRENSBURG 0 In the first hom e gam e the Oak Bowl spectators w itnessed a featured game-clinching attack that came in the second perio d . Kernan extended a pass to Good, followed by a n attempted la teral which was picked u p by Patterson who packed the ball 45 yards to ne t the firs t six. Rosenblum then intercepted an intended Mule pass and dashed to s triped territory to score again. Another Rosenb lu m interception plus an end run by Patterson placed the ball on the two-yard marker at half-time. Late in the fo u rth period Patterson again brought the ball into scoring territory by completing a hammering drive. A pass from Kernan to Rosenblum add e d the extra point. A pass from Kernan to Rosenblum added six more; it was fo llowed by another pass from Rees to Thompson to finis h the total count. PERU 6-DO.flNE 6 To highlight the firs t p eacetime festival in fo u r years, a Homecoming crowd o f o ld grads marched back, in uniform and in civilian clothes, to witness action by the battling Bobcats and the c rowning of Cody Ande rson as Homecoming Queen. In the 50minute fracas the offensive was all Peru's, but a determin ed Tiger team d id not permit the s core board to change. Peru 's fumble on its own 18 in the firs t s tanza opened the door to the lone Doane marker. Tackle Be cker blocked the big extra point. After half time, Rice intercepted a Doane pass on the Doa ne

21, setting up a touchdown which resulted fro m a Kernan-to-Rosenblum pass to tie up the game. The attempt for the extra point failed. Interceptions b y Ruede high-lighted the defensive action, while up front Becker and Matschullat shone at the tackle posts.
PERU 58-MIDLAND 7 In the las t game of the season, the Wheelermen rose to their peak and downed the Midland Warriors 58-7. Talley one came with Rosenblum 's interception of a pass on the 32 and with Patterson reaching point-land in five plays. Patterson scored again in the first period . The half- time score read 26-0. In the second half Seebe plunged through center after a 70-yard drive by the Blue and White team. Another drive sent Rosenblum over. Midland, showing its only offensive drive in the game, staged a rally to score seven points in the third period. Heiliger s kirted around end for another Peru chalker; Kernan carried the extra point. An interception by Heiliger, and two more tallies by Patterson sent the score even higher. A recovery of a Midland fumble by Twiss set up a pass from Ruede to Fischer to total the final counters.

Fortitude and passive courage built the squad of 1945-46 into an up-and-coming fighting Bobcat team. Early practice showed seventy-five percent of the men on the campus out for basketball. Few with basketball experience appeared on the teams in the early games of the season. Gradually, returning servicemen began to bolster the basketball ranks, and the Wheelermen were molded into a smooth-running machine that fough t its way to victory in many of the remaining games of the season. A final check showed that the Cats had won 16 of the 22 games which they had played. They also held the N.I.A .A. Conference title, making a slow-starting season end with a bang-up finale. The climax to the season came when the Blue and Whites journeyed to Kansas C ity to enter the National Intercollegiate Tournament. They met Southeastern Oklahoma Teachers

College of Durant, Oklahoma. Although many Peruvians yelled in s upport o f the Cats, they w ent down under a blistering second half atfack by the Oklahomans. Players and fans a like will never forget the feverish pitch w hich prevailed a t the Wayn e , Has tings, and Chadron games, when highgeared, fast-breaking ball-hurlers, built around the Wheeler-Riggs system of o ffense and tight man-to-man defense , went into action. With "Whiz" White the only senior on the squad, hopes for the next season are high, and the fans can look forward to the expert ball handling o f "Buzz" Byers, "Slug" Pascal. "Ab" Yocum, Ralph Patrick, and " Art" Clements. White wa s listed as the high scorer for the N. I. A.A. Conference, and ranked third in the s tate. He also received the honorary position of center on the mythical All-State team. Pascal received the guard spot on the second team .
PERU 41-NORFOLK JR. COLLEGE 37 Victory number one found the Cats facing a fast junior college team from Norfolk, but they pounded the hardwoods to a 4 1-37 win. Two cage veterans, "Whiz" White and AI Haack, aided by the dependability of Ralph Patrick and Dick Good showed possibilities of the developing of a true Peruvian team. White hit 19 points; Haack made 11 and Good made 10. PERU 33-T.fl.RKIO 34 Meeting their first defeat at Tarkio's early season bid, the Wheelermen learned much in the way of floor play and the need for a tight defense. White and Good fouled out after a half time lead. Weakness of the reserve strength was evident as Floyd, Seeba, and Becker tried to uphold the fast moving offensive. PERU 66-DO.fl.NE 48 The Doane Owls found a smoother running ball club and a barrage of baskets by White contributing to their defeat on their home court. The Cats learned much in this game, developing their fast break and gaining experience for reserves. White's 37 points broke the college record for individual scoring. PERU 38-W.fl.RTBURG 36 A fast moving, hard hitting, and small Iowa team made the Bobcats p lay heads-up ball the entire game to squeeze out a two point victory on the local court; it was the second defeat for the Woverly squad.

Pascal's floor play was excellen t, and the true Cat fi ghting spirit was well demonstrated by Byers , Haack, and Yocum. Many Peruvians w itnessed the split contest to see action seldo m displayed on the local court. PERU 66-WESLEYBN 45 The fast-moving b a ll game showed a s nappy Peru team functioning smoothly against the Plainsmen _who fe.ll to. the Cats on the local maples. Whtte mamtamed his 22 point average; Haack and Yocum d id much toward improving their eye for the ring. Clements fared well, proving to be good material afte r Pascal left the court on fouls.

PERU 43-W.flNE 47 Followed by rooters and the band, the Bobcats met their second d e feat in the N.I.A .A. Conference at Wayne. The Cats hit hard and fas t by driving ahead in the opening minutes of the game only to be doomed in the las t period. Byers came through with many hits to close the gaps, but the Wildcats' small co urt proved too much. Haack and Yocum put forth top ball. PERU 59-HASTINGS 61 With the state title at stake, Broncs and Bobcats crossed the maples w ith determination to win. As a result one of the "hottest" contests of the year was played. Scoring varied but three points either way during the entire game, and with seconds to play the score was tied; however Hastings managed a fielde r to win. Byers displayed outstanding ball before he and Yocum fouled out. PERU 61- DO.flNE 39 A repeat in victory o ver Doane on the home court showed a weak Owl cage team p la y ing a rough game, highlighted by bad passes and SO fouls. White spent his last home game on the bench after five penalties. Yocum played top ball and captured scoring honors. Byers, Haack, Patrick, and Pascal rounded the activities. PERU 36-S.E.

P CLUB Love o f sports and respect for the traditions of "Good Spo rtsmanship" characterize ~he men who wear the "P's". These fellows have unselfishly put forth their best effort to make Peru S tate a name to conjure wi th in the competiti ve sport circles of the nation , both in war and in peace. The objective of this organization is to provide a functioning intramural program on the campus for i:>oth men and women in the highest sportsman-like conduct. The activities for this year includ ed basketball, swimming, ping pong, badminton, and tennis. The club's highest goal this year was to raise money for the "Gold Star" Scholarship fund in memory of the men who died for their coun try in an effort to es tablish the ideas of fair play for all men in the world. The scholarships are awarded to outstanding s tuden!s in the field of sports and academic standing to enable them to continue to develop their abilities. The P Club members have sold programs , printed by themselves, at baske ti:>all games, conducted dances for th e students , and solicited from faculty, students, and previous members of the P Club to raise funds for these scholarships. Rex Floyd as presid e nt of the organiza tion led the activities. "Whiz" White acted as vice-president and Joe WE:b e r was the secretary -treasurer.

Last fall the members of the Student Ad Vl路 sory Council. their ears turne d to the ever Present cry of the stud ents for a recreation cent quickly organized themselv~s, analyzed t~~ s ituation, and set out to sallsfy the wants of their fe llow students. After a very brief but thorough survey, it was decided that the basement o f Delzell Hall was the only place on the campus tha t offered adequate facilities to establish a recrea tion路 center. At that time Delzell Hall was occupied by the Navy V-12 uni t; so the Council patiently waited, but not idly. Finally on the night of Tanuary 12 the doors of the student recreation center swung open to the s tudents and faculty members. Soon afterwards the name BOBINN was suggested, and it stuck. At the opening there were four main places of interest the club room, game room, "coke" room, ' and lounge. Both "squares" and "hep cats" enjoy gliding across the club room floor to the strains of some popular dance tune played by Harry

Also it is here that the s tudents a re broadening their knowledge o f the three modern B's of music- barrelhouse, b oogie woogie, and the b lues. Wi thout a doubt the noisiest spot on the campus is the game room. Here can be heard the reverberating crash of a bowling ball clipping off the p ins, m ixed with a few well chosen words of the bowler as one pin remains s tanding . The staccato tapping o f a ping pong ball as it skits di zzily back and forth across the net a ll but drowns out the gentle tap given a snooker ball which glides eas ily from the cue o f a "shark," and easily slices a red ball into the corner pocket. The P Club added its bit by furnishing p ictu res of the great Bobcat teams of the past together with the trophies won by these Peru a thletes, for the lounge room. Equipped with soft divans and easy chairs, the lounge makes a n enjoyable p lace to relax and dream.

But whe n it came your turn at the "he aving" end. it was worth the effo rt.
The "coke" room offe red the facilities for a pause that refreshes." However its existe nce was short lived, for it was soon re placed by a s nack bar. Its usefu ln ess as a "coke" room ended; the room was conve rted into a fac ulty lounge . The snack bar, which like the recreation rooms had a small start, is grow ing daily and is rapidly reaching the lunch counte r stage. To accommodate the customers fifteen booths w e re ins talled in the corridor o f the BOBINN . For the outdoo r lovers, twenty new bicycles have been secured so tha t the s tuden ts and faculty can pedal themselves up and down the hills o f Peru. Future plans for the BOBINN include painting of murals d epicting early life during the settling days at Pe ru, enlarg ing the fac u lty lounge, and p urchas ing more recreationa l equipment. The BOBINN is off to a g reat s tar t, but it is the sincere wish of a ll conce rned tha t li ke Jack's beans ta lk, it will jus t keep growin '. Pogo Nmc ly· N•n e

The P.S.T.C. music department under the direction of Prof. Victor H. Jindra sponsored two music festivals for high school musicians from neighboring states. The traditional annual M. I.N .K. vocal and instrumental contest held here since 1928 was discontinued in 1941. Two years ago the clinic plan was begun in Peru which again drew Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas musicians to the campus. The clinics placed music on a cooperative rather than a competitive basis and proved to be a satisfactory change from the contest program. The assembly of eighty-two high school pupils on February 1 and 2 for the first orchestra clinic in Peru showed that although bands enjoy a g reater populari ty in schools, orchestras hold a stronger appeal for a good many people. Dr. N. DeRubertis, nationally known conductor and composer of Kansas City, Missouri, was the guest conductor whose personaity inspired everyone. Under his able direction the orchestra gave successful performance of s uch numbers as Shubert's "Symphony in B Minor" and Cimarosa's "Three Brothers Overture." Bernice
Maledon, soprano with station WDAF in Kansas City, Missouri, was guest soloist w ith the orchestra. Other features were a piano solo by Ruth Chatelain Epley of Peru and a cello solo by Charles Klaseck of Wilber with accompaniment by the orchestra. On March 15 and 16 was scheduled the third M.I.N.K. band clinic on the campus. Major Joseph E. Sko rnicka, Music Officer and Director of Special Services Division, Seventh Service Command, conducted the massed band of 182 pieces. A varied program of standard marches, including some of Skornicka's own, and some Bach and Beethoven pleased concert goers. Recordings made of several numbers made this a concert long路 to be remembered. The following schools participated in the clinics: Auburn, Brock, Crab Orchard, Dawson, Douglas, Fairbury, Falls City, Hebron, Humboldt, Nebraska City, Nemaha, Omaha Technical, Pawnee City, Peru, Plattsmouth, Rock Port, Missouri. Sabetha, Kansas, Sidney, Iowa, Shubert, Table Rock, Tecumseh, and Wilber.
