Over two hundred classes and labs, not counting extension, are listed in the current schedule of classes. These are not different courses because there is some duplication in basic courses in English, math, and other basic subjects but there is still plenty of variety.

The divisions of Practical Arts and Science and Mathematics lead in number of classes and labs offered with 43 each. Second in number of classes offered is the division of Language Arts with 30 classes. In third place are the divisions of Education and Fine Arts with 24 each. The division of Social Sciences lists 23 classes and the division of Physical Educatiah"an\l Health lists 22.

Course titles r~nge from the very simple such as shorthand and English composition to titles such as kinesiology and anatomy, and grap~:.-and cartography, . which rri@lt sound somewhat exotic to those who are somewhat less than erudite.

A perusal of the current schedule shows that our college is offering a well rounded schedule of great variety and scope.

Extra-Curricular Activities Is Graduate Course

"Novel" Drama To Be Performed On Homecoming Night

Dr. Holy, Acting Head of the Division of Education, is teaching a graduate course entitled Extra-Curricular Activities. This three hour graduate course is a study of the organization, nature, value and the direction of the school sponsored activities other than those of the regular classroom.

Try-outs for the Homecoming play, "The Night of January 16," were held in the Little Theater on Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7, under the auspices of Professor R. D. Moore.

On the following Monday, September I 0, the play was cast from the people who had tried out and had been selected for parts.

The play is set in a court room where Karen Andre is on trial for the murder of her former employer, Bjord Faulkner, who was killed on "the night of January 16- about midnight."

The action is different from that of most plays in that it uses

the theater audience as the court room spectators with the jury being chosen from the audience, and has the possibility of two endings, depending on the verdict of the jury.

The play will be produced on Homecoming night, October 20, at 8 p.m. by the Peru Dramatic Club, and will be directed by Robert D. Moore. The Dramatic Club, one of the oldest dramatic organizations in Nebraska, has gained in past years a reputation for fine productions, and with Mr. Moore at the helm the play should be a great success.

PERU PEDAGOGIAN September 14. 1956 FACULTY SPONSORStewart Linscheid Staff To Be Elected

Editorial This is Peru's biggest year in many respects, enrollment included, and we all hope that the conclusion of this school year next spring will leave everyone with the firm conviction that it was Peru's best year.

The Pedagogian can not make this Peru's best year fOr that must be done by everyone-student body, faculty, and administration-but we hope that The Pedagogian can help make this the best year ever for our school. We hope The Pedagogian can become a force for good, giving loyal support to all the worthy activities of the college. At the very least, we hope The Pedagogian can succeed in mirroring accurately the events of the coming year. We hope The Pedagogian may prove itself worthy of the fine institution it represents.

We know that we can accomplish none of the above objectives without great support from a great many people-from each and all of you. We solicit your support and pledge you our entire cooperation. We want your suggestions and shall appreciate your criticisms.

We fervently desire that everyone will come to regard The Pedagogian as a friend working faithfully to represent the best interests of his chosen college, Nebraska State Teachers College in Peru. · In closing, we wish to express our sincere thanks for a cordial welcome to Peru and for the friendly, cooperative help which we have received from many, many fine people. At any time when there is anything The Pedagogian can do to help any of you in any way, we shall consider it a privilege to be of assistance in any way we can. We feel this sentiment is shared by every member of our staff.

-Stewart Linscheid, Faculty Sponsor.

A Preview of the Season

By Donald K. Carlile Director of Special Services While the squad of the 1956 Bobcats of Peru looks promising as a whole, the schedule is pro~ ably the toughest to be played in a number of years. The coaching staff, at this writing, feels that four or five games should fall on the win side of the column.

Teams that they rate ahead of the Bobcats include Colorado State, Central Missouri, Kearney State, Doane, Hastings and Wayne State. The Peru outfit is green compared with veteran Nebraska College Conference teams of Kearney State, Doane, Chadron State, Hastings and Wayne State.

The end·of the 1955 seasdn saw five backs and eight linemen leave. They were backs Dick Adams, Roger Majors, Bill (Chicago) Allen, Duane Rains, and Lowell Samuelson; ends Gerald Tru11inger, Dick Bowden, tackles Bill (Kansas) Allen, and guards Johnny McMullen, Bert Adams, Willie Mason, and Jack Nance. Three seasoned hopefuls absent from the squad because of low grades will be Dean Sorenson, Jerry Partridge and Duane Noel.

Coaches Wheeler, Stemper and Mcintire are expecting a large squad to report for the opening · practice August 29. Seventy-five, including 17 lettermen from 1955 and three lettermen of previous years have received invitations.

Among the squad members will be a number of outstanding freshmen from Nebraska and surrounding states.

At end position six lettermen will report for duty. Wayne Minchow, Table ,Rock; Jack Gilmore, David City; Bob Humphrey, Auburn, and Jerry Grancer, Beatrice, will be fighting for right end. At left end, Jack Ludwig, Bellevue; Riley Ruby, Tecumseh; and Rex Hill of Omaha, who was on the 1953 team, plus a half dozen promising freshmen.

Candidates for tackle spots include three-year letterman Chuck Krumme of Red Oak, Iowa, who stands 6' 4" and weighs 225. This season should be his best. Ray Ehlers of Syracuse is another 6'4" 200 pounder with two letters to his credit. Bill McAdams, a 1952 letterman is back for his second year in varsity football.

He stands 6'2" and tops the scales at 215. At the left tackle post is Larry Hopkins, Guthrie Center, Iowa, sophomore letterman, who has trimmed down from his 245 in 1955. Weighing in at 215, Larry has increased his speed and should have a great year. Behind Larry are a cquple of big sophomores who were B team members last year and have demonstrated that they are ready for consideration. They are Johnny Lincoln of Bradshaw and Keith Lamb of Wymore, who both weigh better

than 220. Bruce Smith, a 6'5" 220 pounder, looks like he will give all the boys a run for their money at a starting berth. Other tackles with promise who will report are Earl McCain, Ray Huggett, Bertrand; and Dick Kapperman, DeWitt.

Battling for the guard posts will be the Rosenquist brothers, Jim and Darwin of Essext Iowa, letterman Glen Heywood of Peru and a host of other candidates.

Tom Moen of 'Bellevue, Tom Eastman of Chicago and Jerry Ludwig of Bellevue will be bucking for the center spot. Tom Moen last season's regular center, wiil have the in~ide track.

A trio of speedy fullbacks, all lettermen, with offensive and defensive ability should give the backfield the strength that it needs. Tom Percell, Omaha, a· three-year letterman, Dale Johnson of Table Rock, who has shown great promise and sophomore letterman Pat Novacek of Tekamah, who is 6'7" and tops the scales at 210, should all make the Bobcat foes aware of their presence.

At left half or at the quarterback spot will be 1956 all-conference Del Stoltenberg of Nebraska City. Other halfbacks will be Gary Adams of Falls City; Henry Hart of Red Oak, Iowa; Don Roddy of Union; Bob Ely, Fairmont; and Kelly Liewer of Unaleet, Alaska. Candidates for quarterback are Sid Brown, Peru; Doug "Hoot" Gibson, Falls City; Jerry Mullins of Salem; and a host of freshmen.

The backfield appears to have speed, passing and kicking ability, but' lacks the depth.

About 40 freshmen candidates have be~n invited for early practice sessions. Included in the aggregation are some outstanding men who could make the difference in a winning or losing season.

Early Season Football Dope

PERU-At the close of the first full week of drills last Saturday, Al Wheeler reports that his Bobcat gridsters· have shown a great deal of improvement in over-all play, but still have room for plenty of improvement. In preparation for the Colorado State Bears game in the Oak Bowl Friday night, much of the work has been concentrated on blocking and tackling.

The coaching staff expressed pleasure over the improvement in the passing attack. Percentagewise, completions have climbed to about 75%. "Our over-all offensive attack is improving, too," Wheeler said. · After progressing the first four Also scheduled are: Joseph opening days of drill with no inZafforoni, University of Nebras- juries, last week saw four squad ka; Hollie Bethel, University of members benched.

Social Security Changes Interest State Teachers (NSEA Newspaper) Several phases of the old-age and survivors' insurance program of the Social Security Act have been liberalized.

The following changes may affect Nebraska teachers.

PrG>visions by which newly covered persons may qualify will be liberalized to read: Persons covered in 1956 will be deemed fully insured if all but four (but not less than six) of the quarters after 1954 and prior to th.e later of (1) July 1, 1957, or (2) the quarter of death or attainment of retirement age (whichever occurs first) are quarters of coverage.

Five years may be dropped out in computing average monthly wages in all cases regardless of the number of quarters of coverage.

Disability benefit provisions now provide: Disability benefit p a y me n ts will begin in July 1957 and will be payable to totally disabled workers aged 50; dependent dis~ abled children will be entitled to benefits if they have been permanently and totally disabled since before they reached age 18.

A separate trust fund and a separate tax is provided for these payments.

The retirement age for women has been lowered, effective in November 1956. as follows: Widows and surviving dependent mothers will be given full benefits at age 62. Working women and wives will be given reduced benefits if they begin to draw them between age 62 and 65.

Working women will receive 80 per cent of their full benefits should they retire at age 62. If they delay retirement they will be given 5-9ths of 1 per cent for each month's delay up to age 65.

Wives will be given 75 per; cent of their full benefits should they retire .at 62. For each month's delay of retirement up to age 65 they will receive 25-36th of 1 per cent.

Should a woman receive a reduced benefit, this benefit will continue to be payable and i.t will not be increased upon her reaching age 65.

Taxes will be increased as fol· lows: A separate trust fund will be established for the disability program. Social Security taxes day is becoming more keen with each practice, Wheeler said.

Mentioned by the coaching staff as having made great strides during the past week were quarterback Douglas "Hoot" Gibson, 6'2" 178-lb. Falls City junior; Bob Bryant, 6T' 225-lb. freshman halfback from Peru, and Buddy Bookwalter, 5'10" 169-lb. freshman halfback from Lawrence, Kansas.

A 1956 Central High of Lincoln grad, John Sacks, who reported late for practice, is pressing some of the veteran guards for a starting berth. Don Hamel, Fullerton freshman center who stands 6'3" and weighs 215-lbs., is giving them all a battle for a pivot spot, Wheeler said.

What Al Wheeler told the squad at the season's opening practice on August 29 con~rning the outcome of the season can be very well applied to Friday night's game with C o 1o r ado State. After he threw football in\to the air and after it bounced he r e mark e d-"Like that ball bounces, is the way our season can go."

The self-employment tax will be increased from 3 per cent to 3 and 3/s per cent, effective J anuary 1, 1957. These increases will also be made in each of the scheduled increases now contained in the law.

Eight Evening Classes Offered This Semester No, Junior, school isn't over for the day just because night falls. Eight classes are being offered on the campus at night this semester.

The courses offered are: Fundamentals of Speech, H um an Growth and Development, Art Appreciation, Science for Elementary Grades, English Composition, Social Studies Survey, Educational Measurements, an d Elementary Music Methods.

There must be a minimum of ten students before a night class can be organized. There is a matriculation fee of five dollars for matriculation, and a five dollar fee for each semester hour of credit. ;..,;.

The classes meet' in t\o. periods, the first being from 5:00. to 7:40 p.m. with a 25 minute supper break, and the second being from 7:45 to 10:05 R,!11. with a ten minute brea~e middle of the period. ·

Campus Facilities Undergo Change In anticipation of the increased male enrollment at Peru State the Bob Inn, campus snack bar has been moved from the basement of Delzell Hall to the ground floor of Mt. Vernon Hall.

The change was made following the summer session and was completed in time for the opening of school. Since the s n a c k bar's opening lt has been' well patronized by thirsty students and coffee-seeking professors.

With Mrs. Bernice Halsted in charge, the new Bob Inn is open at times that dove-tail with the schedule of the cafeteria so that coffee brea'ks can be taken with good chance of finding some place open.

Present schedules find the Bob Inn open from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the week days. It opens again at 7:00 p.m. and runs until 10:30 p.m. in the evenings. For the convenience' of the night students the Bob Inn is open on Wednesdays from 1:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. with no break for supper.

Those students staying over the week-end will find the Bob Inn open from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturday mornings.

The Bob Inn consists of three rooms: the snack bar containing booths for the customers, the T.V. lounge and the dance floor. To partially compensate for the small number of booths in the snack bar room, a row of booths, taken from the old Bob Inn, has been placed along the north wall of the dance floor.

Also on the ground floor of Mt. Vernon is the new office for student publications. The Peruvian, the campus yearbook, formerly in the basement of Delzell Hall, will take its new residence along with the Pedagogian, the campus newspaper, upon completion of the new office.

One advantage of the change is the proximity to the Bob Inn, where most of the news is bornand where the reporters get their coffee.

Many New Teachers On The Campus As School Begins Returning old students will notice a number of changes on the college staff as well as changes in facilities. The following material, we believe, covers most of the staff changes which are not mentioned elsewhere in this issue.

SEPTEMBER 28, 1956

Our Best Year

Peru Enrollment Tops Five Hundred Establishing New Post-War Record Five hundred and three students are regularly attending classes here. This is the largest enrollment in the post-war history of Nebraska State College, of Peru.

Mr. F. H. Larson, registrar, reported the following figures which are free from duplication.

There are 503 regular students, 311 men and 192 women.

Freshmen Two hundred and seven freshmen are enrolled, 115 men and 92 women.

Sophomores One hundred and twenty-four sophomores are here, 68 men and 56 women.

Ju~s

Eighty-seven · juniol• are enrolled, 61 men and 26. women: Seniors Eighty-four seniors are here, 66 men and 1s··~n.

Ex$~ion.

Five lovely young ladies lead the cheering here. Elected by the student body, :the girls are fr()ln left to right: Deanna Hutton, Janice Wiles, Yvonne Funkhouser, Peggy Robinson and Beverly Gerdes.

Pre-Colorado Pep Meeting A live pep assembly was held the morning of Sept. 13 in ·the College Auditorium.

After a couple of numbers by the band, Yvonne Funkhouser and her four cheer leaders led the audience in "Fite, Fite, Fite."

Yvonne then introduced Coach Wheeler, who received an ovation from .the crowd. Coach Wheeler said, "I don't know what the team will do, but we'll find out. I hope we will be good. The boys have worked hard. Colorado State is a big school with an enrollment of three thousand, but with the support of this enthusiastic crowd, I think we can give a good account of ourselves."

Then Coach Wheeler introduced the entire squad, each man getting a big hand from the crowd. Coach Wheeler then introduced his staff: Bill Albright and Verian Rumbaugh, fr es h m en coaches; and Assistant Coaches Mcintire and Stemper.

The band played the Color Song so the freshmen could hear the tune, and then the band repeated the song with the audience singing. The cheer leaders led the crowd in "Yea Bobcats" with the band playing.

Coach Wheeler introduced Professor R. D. Moore, a cheer leader of no mean ability, who started the freshmen cheering "Bobcats." Moore pretended to be somewhat unsatisfied with the performance of the freshmen, so he called on the old students to give the same cheer. He thought the old students did somewhat better than the frosh but was still not satisfied, so he called on the entire audience for the same ·cheer. This he considered somewhat better than the earlier performances, but he was still not satisfied. Finally he called on the whole audience, including the faculty, and the band on the stage for a rousing rendition of "Bobcats." The resultant din seemed to please him.

'

Homecoming Is The Date Of Uniqoe Play "The Night of January 16th" is the homecoming play selection of the Peru State College Dramatics Club, according to R. D. Moore, language arts division head. Written by Ayn Rand and first produced on Broadway in 1935, the play will be presented by the Peru group at 7 p.m., Saturday, October 20 in the College Auditorium.

Strictly speaking, this is a play without a heroine, but Yvonne Funkhouser, a sophomore from Shenandoah, has been chosen for the leading feminine role, that of Karen Andre, defendant in the murder trial. The principal male role, that of the prosecuting attorney, will be taken by Roger Haigh, a senior from Peru.

Other members of the cast include: Romona Ogle, Humboldt; Dave Longfellow, Peru; Bill Lars o n, Peru; Lorraine Johnson, Stanton, Iowa; Richard Corwine, Blair; Ruth Linscheid, Peru; Ross Munn, Ohiowa; Al Winseman, Stella; Franci Stilwell, Palmyra.

Marvin Wuster, D a w,s on; Franklin Pederson, Riverton, Iowa; Kay Phillips, Nebraska City; Donna Gaer, Kirkman, Iowa; Marshall Norris, Aurora, Colo.; Lois Bush, Gothenburg; Phil Neuhalfen, Dunbar; Rex Filmer, Peru; Christine Kolbo, Omaha; Gerald Olberding, Steinauer.

Twelve other important cast mem hers will be selected by lots from the audience the night of the performance. They are the jury, who will listen to the evidence and render the verdict on which will depend which of the two endings written for the play will be used.

"Public instruction should be the first object of government."

-Napoleon

Bob Norton Heads '56 Student Body Bob Norton, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Norton of Falls City, Nebraska, is the President of Student Council this year. Bob has been a very hard worker in the school activities and clubs.

Bob was a member of the Student Council last year. He was president of the Junior class and president of th e Commercial Club. Bob has been a member of the Blue Devils, the "P" Club, and was a dorm council representative.

Bob's major is in Business Education and his minor is Social Science and Geography.

Bob likes all sports. He has been a two year letterman in basketball, and enjoys football, tennis and golf.

Council Plans As president of the Student Council, Bob wants to do everything in his power to make this year the best Peru has ever had.

The Student Council consists of representatives from each class and is supervised by two faculty sponsors. These representatives serve on various faculty committees. They work with ideas to improve the college. One of the projects for this year is to get the cheer leaders new uniforms.

They have already made plans to take the victory bell off the gym and place it in the center of the campus. The Student Council sponsored the talent show, the watermelon feed, convocations, and worked hard on the Freshman handbook. They will sponsor the Homecoming festivities, the May Fete program, ·and many other college functiong. . Council Members The members of the Student Council are as follows: Bob Norton, President; Bill Albright, Vice President; Tom Moen, Senior Representative; Fran Larson and Ray Ehlers, Members at Large; and Jim Jones, Sophomore Representative.

Night Classes Eighty-three people, seven men and 76 women, are taking night courses. Seven of these students are doing · graduate work. Nine night classes are currently in session.

Total of 1.000 Conservatively speaking, the college is serving a thousand people if we include the Campus School and all branches of the college.

Post Game Dance A dance was held after the football game in the recreation room of Eliza Morgan Hall, September the 14th. The dance was sponsored by the dorm council.

The chaperones were Miss Bradley, Miss Fulton, and Dr. and Mrs. Boraas. The admission was a dime. The students danced to records. There was a very good turn out and every one had a good time. The dorm council is hoping to sponsor more dances after the ball games in the future.

dent Council is short six members and will meet Thursday, September 20, to make nominations. Candidates will be voted on by the student body the following Thursday. The students will elect one senior representative, two junior representatives, one sophomore representative, and two freshman representatives.

Chamber of Commerce Values Education "Is college worth the time, the effort, and the expense?" That is the question that occurs to everyOJle who attends college.

College is very worthwhile if we may believe the United States Chamber of Commerce leaflet entitled How's Business?

The educated farmer produces $10,000 a year and up, but the farmer with less than an eighth . grade education produces less than $1,200 a year. And we quote: "High school and college graduates operate 57 3 of all the farms producing $10,000 and more per year. Those with an eighth grade graduation or less operate 843 of the farms producing less than $1,200."

The Chamber of Commerce leaflet states that good schools mean higher production and higher personal incomes, and quotes figures: "Among all those with incomes of $10,000 a year or more, the median years schooling is 13.5. Among those earning $1,000 or less, the average schooling is 7.5. years."

Apparently good schools, high income, and a desire to buy mean higher retail sales. "Average retail sales were $1,100 per capita in 19 cities with average educational level of 11-12 years. Average retail sales were $917 per capita in eleven comparable cities with an average educational level of 8-9 years."

NOTICE TO STUDENT CAR OWNERS Off-campus parking areas for student cars are adequate and well-marked. Restricted areas such as stalls behind the Administration Buildings, east of the Industrial Arts Building, and the Visitors and Faculty parking area north of the campus are well-known and well-marked.

Students may use all of the new parking north of the Music Hall except the few stalls east of the North Gate.

A dear passage must be kept at all times south of the Infirmary. The nurse's car must not be blocked in at any time.

This is an emergency vehicle and must be available, either materials or dormitory.

In order to stimulate observance of regulations, all student cars found in restricted areas at any time will be tagged and reported to the Bursar's office. For each such report the Bursar will deduct one dollar ($1.00) from whatever materials or dormitory.

These restricted areas are needed for a purpose or they would not be set aside. Please cooperate · by staying out of these areas.

Neal S. Gomon, President

Educated people are well informed. "States where the average schooling is 11-12 years have three times the number of magazine subscriptions per 1,000 population as the' states where the level is 7-8 years."

Educated people take responsible dtizenship action. "Fifty-two percent of the college educated take an active part in political affairs: 16 3 of the grade school educated. Only 183 of the college educated are completely inactive; but 51 3 of the grade school educated."

In 195'3 a study found that ten nations ranked exactly the same on percent of literacy and per capita income.

The U. S. Chamber of Commerce leaflet concludes that education is a tremendous asset and that the United States is not spending enough on schools. Although we spend 283 of our national income on taxes, only 2.5 3 on education. The leaflet concludes by asking a pertinent question: "Can an economy giving 28 3 of income to taxes provide more than 2.53 for public education?"

Pedagogian Staff Now Organized Staff members for the year were elected in a meeting held September 19 in The Pedagogian office. The staff will be headed

Monkeyshines In Kangaroo Court Here Kangaroo court was h e 1d Thursday, September the 13th, in the Auditorium, at 7:30 p.m. It was a very clever initiation for the freshman students.

Jerry Ludwik was the judge; Tom Percell the defense attorney; Tom Moen the prosecuting attorney. The bailiffs were Cliff Boline and Hoot Gibson. The members of the jury were Gail Peterson, Betsy Hartman, Pat Kelly, Yvonne Funkhouser, Bill Almond, Ray Ehlers, Tom Eastman and Jim Bennett.

The freshmen were accused of crazy things · like not brushing their teeth, sleeping on the football field, not wearing their beanies, etc.

A few examples .of their penalties were: two girls had to polish a pair of shoes with their noses; Ol'\l: person had to model a pair of ,shorts and sell several pairs· on~ boy had to attend classe~ dressed in woman's clothes all day Friday.

Everyone enjoyed Kangaroo Court. The freshmen had as much fun as the upper classmen.

Kangaroo court was scheduled again for Tuesday, September the 18th, at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium.

X-Ray Tests September the 18th and 19th the T.B. X-ray Mobile was here'.

Each year the school department of health will give all cooperative schools the service of their T.B. unit. College students are in the age group where they are more acceptable to T.B. than at any other age. · A test showing that a person is free from T.B. is necessary before one can teach in the Nebraska school system. The Department of Certification will let anyone use the result of the T.B. service for this purpose. All students who plan at the end of tli.is year to teach should save the card which they will receive in three weeks. This card will give the result of this x-ray for a credential to present to the doctor who gives them the required physical examination when they apply for their teaching certificates.

This will save them at least ten dollars.

There were 615 persons who went through the unit. This includes a little over 90% of the student body ..There was a 1003 attendance by those who handle food at the college cafeteria, the snack bar, and the school lunch

Fine Arts Plans For Active Year

By Jean Thimgan Victor H. Jindra, Head of the Fine Arts Division, has great hopes for the choral and instrumental programs, which boast a total of thirty-four music majors this year. Following are some of the current activities and prospects in view for the Music Department this year.

Chorus Dr. Darryl T. Manring, Associate Professor of Voice, is pleased with the prospects for the year of his eighty voice college chorus.

This year he plans to do a contemporary work, "Missa Brevis"

by Zoltan Kodaly, using a for;y voice concert choir. A concert tour next spring is also proposed.

The first appearance of this group will be on October 7, climaxing a united church canvass drive in Peru.

Band The Peru State College Band, under the direction of Dr. Grindle, was featured in the halftime performance at the Peru versus Central Missouri football game on September 21. The theme "Miss Liberty," was portrayed by' Miss Yvonne Funkhouser, who was es~orted onto the field by the band twirlers.

The freshmen students of the college, together with the White Angels, marched onto the field wearing red, white and blue beanies. With precision marching, they formed a shield.

The band will perform this year, as in previous years, at the ·Talmage, Nebraska "Purple· and White Day," which marks their

Bobcats Claw Bears For 13-0 Opening Victory Off to a roaring start in their 1956 season with a 13-0 win from the Colorado State Bears of Greeley last Friday night, the Peru State Bobcats are working out for their second home game Thursday night (Oct. 20).

Next opponent will be another out-of-state team-Central Missouri State of Warrensburg. For Coach Lew Comer's "Mules" it will be the season opener, making their team more or less an unknown quantity. Last year the Warrensburg aggregation recorded a five-win, three-loss season.

In last Friday's opener the Bobcats scored in the first four minutes of play after marching for four first downs to the Colorado 11. It was a pitchout from quarterback Sid Brown of Peru to halfback Del Stoltenberg of Nebraska City that was the scoring play. The extra point kick by David City's Jack Gilmore failed.

The second Bobcat TD was scored in the waning minutes of second quarter after a brilliant passing attack sparked by receiver Bob Bryant, freshman halfback of Peru. The TD. came on a hand-off by Brown to fullback Pat Novacek of Tekamah.

The extra point kicked by Gary Adams, Falls City sophomore halfback, was good, and the score stood 13-0.

Only scoring threat by the Bears came in the fourth quarter.

During the first eight minutes of the period Joe Lindahl's Coloradoans had marched through three first downs from their 13yd. line to the Peru 13, only to have a fumble recovered by Peru center Tom Moen of Bellevue.

In the final play of the game with the Bears in possession of the pigskin deep in Peru territory a 15-yard penalty was assessed the Bobcats and the officials placed the ball on the Peru one yard line. The play, run after the final gun had fired, failed to make a Colorado tally.

In all 35 Peruvians saw action.

Asides on Colorado State-Peru Game

any peppier or prettier tnan our cheer leaders? These girls make it easy for us to get enthusiastic about yelling. But remember, guys, you are supposed to be yelling for the team and wolf whistles are verboten.

Few Penalties Peru drew only two penalties during the whole game, one offside and one holding. Evidently our coaches don't believe in giving away y.ardage via the penalty route.

Unlucky Number Is 13 an unlucky number? Perhaps for Colorado, yes. But we liked the numbers on the score board: Peru 13-Colorado State O. Things To Come We don't know much about. the record of Central State College of Missouri for this year.

Last year the Central Staters won five and dropped three.

Prophecy Only fools make prophecies, so here goes a prediction. The game with Colorado State reveals that the Wheeler-men have plenty of power. We think the Bobcats will be very, very good this year against any competition. Like all of you, we hope the Bobcats win every game.

Criticism We don't have any. In the season opener our boys looked good, and with more practice, they'll look even better.

A Matter of Size Colorado State has three thousand students; we have a few over five hundred. The moral of the football victory is that success is not just a matter of size.

Peru Preps Top Weeping Water By 14-6 Score The Peru Prep Bobkitt~ns played goo~ hard fundamental football and added a few fancy licks as they downed the Weeping Water Indians 14-6 on Friday, September 21 in the Oak Bowl.

Coach Virgil Dezwarte's 'Kittens used the first scrimmage play of the second quarter to make a touchdown on a 38-yard pass from Ron Brock to Dave Stevenson. Quarterback Brock added the extra point and Peru led, 7-0.

Seven minutes later Weeping Water moved to the one-yard line, where Phil Rhodes sneaked over for six. The Bobkittens stopped a running try for point, and the half ended with Peru in front, 7-6.

A college-type reverse play on a punt return worked as Stevenson took the kick and handed off to Rex Rains, who rambled 75 yards for a T.D. Throwing a key block on the play was Jerry Henning. Brock's talented toe added the extra point and the Pi;epsters breezed the rest of the way.

Peru Prep's next game is with the Sidney, Iowa Cowboys in the Oak Bowl on September 28.

Ku do s, congratulations, orchids, et certera to whoever thought up the idea of having the rocket display as the color1 guard raised Old Glory. The veterans' organizations were responsible, we learn, for this display.

The star shells burst with splendor and the bombs with an explosive clap like a Peru back crashing through the Colorado line. It was a splendid display and the crowd loved it.

Psychology We \\'.Onder how the Colorado players felt when disembarking from their bus they saw the big sixty man squad in blue and white. Awed a bit, perhaps?

History?

At Verdun in World War I, Field Marshal Foch, or Petain or somebody, said of the advancing German army, "They shall not pass." The Bobcats must have had a similar sentiment in their htc>rts when they threw the Colorado Bears for a loss when the Bears needed only inches to The student body elected five go for a TD on the last play of lovely girls as its cheerleaders. the game.

Central's Passes Peru's Fumbles Cost the Bobcats

By Don Carlile A brilliant passing a t ta c k sparked by Central Missouri's quarterback J oh n McFarland plus three Peru State fumbles summarize the 28-14 win scored by the Missouri school over the Bobcats Thursday night at the Oak Bowl.

Central Missouri's first tally came midway in the-ii.rst quarter on a right end run from the Peru 5 by McFarland. The placement

by Bob Cross was good.

The Mules scored twice in the second quarter. Halfback Norman Brooks, in an end run from the Peru 15 scored the second TD. Fullback Benny Fennell made the placement good. A McFarland pass to end Robert Irvin accounted for the Mules' second TD in the second quarter. The placement tally was scored by Joe Beckman.

In the third quarter the third TD for the Warrensburg crew came when Norman Brooks scooted across the goal line from the Peru 8. With the placement

by Robert Cross, the score stood 28-0.

With three minutes and 26 seconds remaining in the third quarter, the Bobcats scored on a screen pass from the Missouri 8 by quarterback Del Stoltenberg of Nebraska City to halfback Buddy Bookwalter, a Lawrence, Kans., freshman. Placement by Gary Adams of Falls City was good and the score stood 28-7.

The final Bobcat tally, with nine minutes and 19 seconds remaining in the game, was hard to come by. Peru State gained possession on the Mules 18 when gtard Jerry Ludwig of Bellevue re'!;overed the Mules' only lost fumble of the contest.

After a passing attack with Stoltenberg quarterbacking, the ball rested on the one yard line with goal to go. It wasn't until the fourth down that Bookwalter managed to climb over the Missouri line for the TD. Before pay dirt was reached, in earlier downs of the series, the ball had rested on the six-inch line and was fumbled once and recovered.

The kick by Gary Adams was good.

POLIO SHOTS Sign for your polio vaccine shots now at the infirmary.

The deadline is October the 5th. You get the shots at cost, $1.50. You will be given three shots. The first shot should be given at once; the second shot, two to six weeks after the first; the third, seven months to a year after the second shot.

This vaccine causes a person to develop polio fighting particles (called antibodies) in his blood stream. Enough antibodies prevent the polio virus from causing paralysis. If people take advantage of the vaccine's protection, we should see a marked decline in paralytic polio.

Cold shots are to be given the second week in October at the infirmary. The shot will cost $.50, and will last six months. If you haven't signed for your cold shot, do it today at the infirmary.

Football Luncheon The football squad will hold a luncheon· 1:00 a.m. for the letter wi r winners among the alumni. During this time the footballers past and present will exchange anecdotes and advice, and the youngsters will learn what it was like in "the good old days."

The Game Two o'clock will see the kickoff of the annual Homecoming game. The foe for this year's game is Nebraska Wesleyan. Peru State defeated the Plainsmen last year and are expected to repeat this time, but the contest should be a hard fought contest and will be highly interesting.

Marching Band The forty-piece Peru State marching band will perform between the halves. Having shown well in their previous appearance the band is expected to deliver a half-time program without peer in recent years.

A Play At seven o'clock in the College Auditorium the Dramatic Club will present Ayn .Rand's comedydrama, "The Night of January 16." Robert D. Moore is directing this year's Homecoming play which is set in a court room where Karen Andre is on trial for the murder of her former employer, Bjorn Faul.kner. Prosecuting the case will . be Roger Haigh as District Attorney Flint.

Defending Yvonne Funkhouser who plays Karen Andre is Dick Corwine as Defense Counsel Stevens. The jury will be chosen from the audience and the verdict will be entirely their own.

The Dance Following the play the annual Homecoming dance will be held in the College Gymnasium. The dance is sponsored by the Student Council and will run from about 9:30 p.m. to about 12 :00 p.m.

Decorations Decorating the campus will be the displays of the various organizations. These displays, be they ever so humorous, will predict victory for Peru and all manner of humiliation for the Plainsmen.

Such are the plans for Homecoming. Why don't you plan to attend-Now?

Post Game Dance After a very victorious game with Chadron, a dance was held at Morgan Hall. The dance was sponsored by the dorm council.

The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Linscheid and Mrs. Fulton.

Chris Kolbo was in charge of the music, which was played from upstairs by the dorm's new hi-fi record player. The dance was attended by a large group.

The proceeds from the admission fee are used to buy new records for the dorm.

As long as the student body shows interest i.n these dances, they will continue. So come on kids, let's go to these dances. It is a lot more fun to go to them than to read about them. The school makes these affairs possible, so it is up to us to make our own fun at them.

34th Reunion Has Rolled Around

By R B. Moore October 20th, Homecoming, is here again. On that day the past, present, and future will meet and mingle on the campus of Peru Stat~ Teachers College.

Those who have received their formal education and have stepped out into the busy world will find themselves standing once again in front of the buildings of their campus, their school. They will find themselves merged, if but for a day, with the faces and voices that this educational institution presents to the future.

Enough philosophy though, when and why did Homecoming begin on this campus?

First in '23 History recorded the first Homecoming at Peru on November 29, 1923. It was begun, at <least that first year, as an experiment, but its popularity and interest have grown through the years. The first Homecoming was in very few ways similar to that which will be held here this year. Its purpose and aim was to bring together the students who had graduated and the students presently enrolled. Very few of what we commonly term extracurricular activities, took place.

The great stimulus lay in the associations of the day. Contrasting with that of today, we can anticipate athletic contests, dramatic productions, teas, luncheons, and other social functions.

More Will Come The Homecoming has existed for many years, there's little likelihood that it will fade into obscurity, its popularity is almost universal. Human beings, the social animals they are, will always encourage and promote any opportunity to renew old friends. and make new acquaintances.

And so another year has come, another opportunity for all Peruvians to meet and dream of the past and to realize the future.

m

One of the important days in the life of a Peruvian is Homecoming! Each year hundreds of former students and graduates return to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks to visit, to reminisce;- t-0 recapture the fun and glamor of college days.

It is in· this gay and festive spirit you are welcomed by students, staff and faculty to the scene of the happy days yo~ spent as a student in Nebraska's oldest (and best) college.

To enjoy your day to the full we invite you to view the many displays prepared by various campus groups and organizations, drink coffee with the alumni association, whoop and holler at the football game, hiss the villain at the college play and complete a perfect day with a few whirls at the Homecoming Dance.

The college cafeteria and the snack bar in Mt. Vernon Hall will be open throughout the day and evening for your convenience. If you have time, visit the . new student housing area east of Oak Bowl and the new faculty units north of the main campus.

We apologize for the "torn-up" appearance of parts of the campus, but our school is growing rapidly and expansion of facilities demands immediate action.

Welcome Home!

Holloway Band Playing Tonight

By Bill Allbright Bud Holloway and his orchestra will be featured at the annual Homecoming Dance tonight, October 20, immediately following the play (about 9:30 p.m.) in the College Gymnasium. The Holloway group will be familiar to those who attended last year's May Fete, where their music was greatly praised.

Ticket sales, under the charge of Bill Allbright, have begun,

'

and tickets are available from any student council member for the very nominable fee of 85 cents per person. Due to the unprecedented low price, there will be no special couple rate.

The decoration committee has as its members Judi Cole, Beverly Gerdes, Betty Taenzler, and is ably headed by Bonnie Rutz.

The dance is open to all and everyone is cordially invited to attend.

Musical Convocation The convocation of October 11 was in charge of the music department with Robert Benford as master of ceremonies. He · made the usual announcements and then introduced the six semifinalists in the voting for Homecoming queen while the student body voted for the winner.

The main part of the convocation was a series of solos, duets, and quartets featuring both popular and classical music.

Marilyn Slagle opened the program with a piano solo rendition of "Blue Moon." Margaret Cotton followed with the "Violin Serenade" from Wieniawski, accompanied by Mr. Benford at the Hammond organ.

Don Gibson on the baritone horn and Ron Noltensmeyer on the trombone furnished a very pleasing sound as they played the instrumental duet "Aria" from Maganini with accompaniment of R. T. Benford at the piano.

Louise Marshall and Elaine Spier combined talents in a piano duet version of "Night and Day." Wilma Schroeder and B e tty Taenzler showed equal prowess on twin piano arrangement of "Moon Mist." The four girls then combined to play the quartet from Cflrmen as a twin piano quartet.

Homecoming

WHICH ONE THE QUEEN? Beverly Gerdes, Fran Larson, and Peggy Robinson seem unconcerned as they, the finalists, pose for Don Carlile.

Your Schedule For Homecoming Homecoming is again off and running as The Pedagogian greets you, the Alumni, of Peru State.

The student body and faculty have extended themselves to the utmost to make this day an enjoyable one for· you and for your family. Elsewhere on this page you will find more detailed accounts of the various forms of entertainment awaiting you, but this column will serve as a general guide to the day's activities, telling you what's in store ...

Fresh from their third victory in five starts, the 'Cats will be ready to tangle with the Plainsmen who haven't been too successful recently; but the Methodists will be up for the game and ready to knock off Peru if it is at all possible, and the game will offer much excitment for the football fan.

R. V. Grindle Presents ...

The Peru State marching band, forty-seven strong this year, will present a half-time program that will make the crowd sit up and take notice. The tightest security is being kept around the program, so no inkling has come this way as to what it is going to be.

A Queen Is Crowned . . .

Also at half-time the Homecoming Queen will be unveiled for the first time. The three finalists this year are Beverly Gerdes, Fran Larson, and Peggy Robinson. The band will be furnishing a background as. the queen receives her crown, bouquet, and kiss to mark the beginning of her reign. ·

There have been no new developments in' the Karen Andre trial which will be held in the Peru college auditorium Saturday evening, October 20th, 1956.

The Dead Man .•.

Bjorn Faulkner, a big man in the financial world was found dead on the sidewalk beneath his luxurious penthouse .suite. Dr. Thomas Kirkland, county medical examiner could not definitely determine the cause of death.

However, we do know that death came to Faulkner by one or both of two possibilities; a bullet or the long fall from the Faulkner building.

The Defendant . . .

Karen Andre is suspicioned because she is Faulkner's ex-private secretary. Faulkner's, marriage to John Graham Whitfield's daughter Nancy Lee caused Karen to lose her position. Karen was close to Faulkner's transactions; perhaps too close for his good.

The sponsors of the dance were disappointed with its attendance.

They hired a good band and put forth a lot of effort to provide entertainment for you. The dance was so poorly attended that they didn't make enough money to pay the band.

Can't Find Offices? .. Here They Are All but one office in the Administration building has been changed. It is said this will leave more office space for some and will be more convenient for all.

Mr. Lowenberg, director of professional services and the Placement Bureau now occupies what was JJfr. Larson's office.

The former office of the. dean of students is now used for the consultation room.

Mr. Lindahl now has the office that was formerly occupied by the assistant registrar. ,; Each office has its phone and number now to replace the old buzzer system.

Third Son Arrives For The Wininger's Dr. and Mrs. Darrell Wininger became proud parents of their third son, David, who was born at 3:30 p.m., Friday, October 12, in the Auburn hospital. David weighed eight pounds, two ounces at birth. Both he and his mother are reported to be doing fine.

David caused his father some trouble though. Just as Dr. Wininger was starting a class, he received a call summoning him to take Mrs. Wininger to the hospital, so he dismissed the class, and the Winingers took off post haste for Auburn. Only minutes after their arrival in Auburn, David arrived.

Too, it is rumored that Papa Wininger is having to pay off several friendly bets as a result of his having been overly sure that David was going to be a girl.

Pedagogians Like New Union Quarters Members of the staff of ·The Pedagogian are highly pleased with the new quarters in the Student Union.

The new office has much more room than the old one which doubled as a ticket office for the Auditorium. Old staff members will have no difficulty in recognizing the furnishing and equipment as they are the same that were used in the old office.

About the only new feature the new office will be an exchange file of newspapers from other colleges and the high schools in this area. Dwight Safar is working dn this project, and it will soon be possible for a student to drop in to read the high school paper from his old school or to check on what other colleges in the Middle West are doing.

Staff members agree that one of the best things about the new location is its proximity to the snack bar.

of

According to physical plant director, Stacy Vance, there have been a few changes made in the college area, and there are more to be done.

Vetville Going Mr. Vance says that the reason old Vetville is being torn down is to improve the looks of the north end of the football field.

The ground on which old Vetville stands will be graded down.

It will be used for a practice field, a parking lot and possibly a basball field.

Parking Lot The student parking lot north of Delzell Hall has been rocked to keep the boys from getting their cars and themselves muddy. Later on there will be a chain fence placed around the parking lot. This will separate the. faculty housing unit from the parking lot. .The parking area all along the north side of the music hall has been widened.

Grading to Come Sometime in the future the ground at the south end of Mt. Vernon will be graded down.

This dirt will be placed around the library and a retaining wall be built. Because of this, the water main will have to be changed.

This change will probably not be made until spring.

"By fall," says Mr. Vance, "I hope to have the area in front of Mt. Vernon and Morgan Hall in pretty good shape."

Invite Alumni To Homecoming Reunion The last issue of the Peru Stater carried an invitation to the more than 5,000 Peruvians in the alumni files. The alumni were invited to be present for the 1956 Homecoming which is October 20th. The magazine was mailed October 1st. Other highlights of this issue included stories of the 1906 class reunion, the Omaha alumni spring picnic, the Peru Achievement Scholarship recipients, and the Morton House Scholarship winners. Copies will be available in the library for students.

Local NE.A. Meets The local chapter of the N.E.A. met Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 4:00 p.m. in the Campus School Auditorium with 26 members present.

Mr. Glen Sheely, president of the Peru N.E.A., presided at the opening meeting of the year. After reading of the minutes by Miss Frieda Rowoldt, secretary, a short business meeting was held.

Frank Masek was elected vice president.

Six meetings will be held this year on dates to be announced at a later date.

Curriculum Study Now in Progress An intensive study of the curriculum is under way at Peru State Teachers College. This study is being made under the direction of President Neal S. Gomon to provide the best course of study possible with the facilities and staff available.

All divisions of the college are examining and evaluating their curricula. When' the study is completed, there will 'be some changes in the course~ offered, some being modernized, some revised, some dropped, and some new ones added.

After the' div,ision heads have made recommendations for the courses in their divisions, the recommendations will be passed

by the policies committee. Final approval will come from President Gomon. \ The curriculum study is necessary at this time because this year the new catalog for '57-'58 and '58-'59 will be printed.

Course changes must be made and approved before the new catalog is printed.

Campus Schoo' Commentary

:Bikes Conditioners Potential pep for future football: 5th and 6th grade boys who ride bikes to school. Or has the steepness and number of hills between school a:nd town slipped your mind? One day last week here came ButCh West nonchalantly coasting along-he had reached the top plateau alongside the campus. In front of Devore's house was Donny Railsback making the last heroic effort to reach the top. In the block below the churches was Francis Mangnall pushing his bike with just enough breath to pant "It's easier to walk than ride!" Down-· town .in front of the post office was another brave soul riding merrily along the level as though he had no idea of the long pull ahead. Top conditioner, eh?

Originality and elbow grease are displayed as Epsilon Pi Tau senis its second straight prize winner in l:he annual Homecoming · play conl:esl:.

Epsilon Pi Tau Andre Innocent ins Homecoming Jury Rules

By Sharon Reagan isplay Award Epsilon Pi Tau won the Homecoming award for the second year straight. They have won the award three times in: the last eight years. Their display was a rocket being piloted by a Bobeat. Their theme was, "Welcome Alumni, Help the Bobcats Blast fue Plainsmen." Dr. Neal S. Go.man presented the award to Nick Stolzar, president of Epsilon Pi Tau, at the Homecoming dance. .The sponsors of Epsilon Pi Tau lire A. V. Larson and Dee V. Jarvis.

;Epsilon Pi Tau Wins Exhibit Honors A chicken wire and . paper '. rocket showing the ingenuity ··•·and elbow grease of the Epsilon Pi Tau fraternity walked away with all the honors as the industrial arts men took first prize in the Homecoming display contest · for the second straight year. The blue and white rocket was captioned by an appeal to the alumni to "help blast the Plainsmen."

Student Fellowship Runner-up in the contest was a monstrous "portrait" showing the Bobcat helping the Plainsman up after a humiliating contest. This mural was fashioned · by the Student Fellowship group.

Alpha Mu Omega . Probably the most complex : and intricate display was pre. sented by Alpha Mu Omega fraternity. The scene was a desk where a Plainsman was trying to . figure the outcome of the game.

Strewn about were many math books and a super whing-ding of an electric brain buzzing away and dolefully flashing the prediction:' "Peru Will Win." M.E.N.C. M.E.N.C., the music educators dub portrayed a steaming loco• motive rolling over a very dec:Pressed Plainsman; while the Whi.te Angels had caged the mournful pioneer in a crepe pa-. ' per prison, with the caption, "Don't Be Cruel."

Industrial Aris The Industrial Arts Club was giving the Wesleyan men a big mock as they showed the "last eharge of the Plainsmen" with a .representative sitting in an optrating electric chair.

By Don Carlile Keith Melvin, formerly dean of the McCook Junior College and presently a member of the staff of the University of Nebraska Teachers College, has been named Dean of the College, Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru, according to an announcement made today by President Neal S. Gomon. Dean Melvin will assume his new duties on November 19. His appointment is subject to the approval of the Board of Education of State Normal Schools.

A native of Reynolds, Melvin attended Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru from 1928 to 1932, receiving his Bachelor of Arts in Education degree from Peru in June, 1932. Following his graduation he was named science and mathematics instructor and coach at Upland, a position he held four years. In 1936 he moved to Syracuse, where he was high school principal and coach for seven years.

From 1943 to 1946 he was superintendent of schools at Blue Hill, Nebraska. From 1946 to

1955 he was dean of the McCook, Nebraska, Junior College, leaving that position in the summer of 1955 to accept an assignment in the Teachers College of the University of Nebraska.

He received his Master of Arts degree from the University of Nebraska in 1942 and is now a candidate for the Doctor of Education degree from the same institution. He expects to receive his advanced degree in January, 1957.

Mrs. Melvin is also a graduate of Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru, receiving her Bachelor of Science in Education degree in August, 1955. She had attended Peru for two years during the early '30s and completed her' work through attendance at summer sessions during the early '50s. She is presently employed as an elementary school instructor in the Lincoln Public Schools and will complete the 19567-57 school year before joining her husband at Peru.

The Melvins have one daughter, Nancy, a student at the University of Nebraska hospital in Omaha.

Dean Melvin replaces Dr. Andrew A. Weresh, who resigned September 15 to accept a position at Boys Town.

Karen Andre, Yvonne Funkhouser, was found innocent of the charge of murder · bro u g ht against her in the Dramatic Club presentation "The Night of January 16th,'' which was given here for a large and enthusiastic Homecoming audience that had plodded through the rain to see the play .

The H o m e c o m i n g crowd watched the plot unravel under the "true to life" acting of the cast and the professional directing of Professor R. D. Moore, Peru's veteran director.

The jury, practically all alumni, found· Karen Andre innocent ~much to the disgust of Judge William Heath (Bill Larson), who ruled that the jury could not serve in his court again for a period of at least five years.

Th.e defendant, Yvonne Funkhouser, gave a fine performance as did attorneys Roger Haigh and Richard Corwine. Rex Filmer · made a most convincing gangster, and Donna Gaer almost stole the show with her interpretation of her minor part as a serving woman. Chris Kolbo wowed the audience as an affected, psuedo "high society" tramp.

The cast gave Professor Moore a handsome leather billfold with Queen Beverly Gerdes is a happy monarch as she greets her subhis name inscribed in gold lettering as a token of appreciation for jects with her escort, Jim Jones. his efforts in producing another Homecoming hit play.

Beverly Reigns At Homecoming

Miss Beverly Gerdes, the 1956 Homecoming Queen, is 'the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gerdes, of Auburn, Nebraska.

Beverly is a brown haired, blue eyed sophomore, whose ambition is to teach in an elementary school, and to travel abroad. Beverly's favorite sports are ice skating, and swimming. She likes to watch all ball games, especially football. Beverly says her pet peeve is when someone short sheets her bed.

Beverly is very active in the school activities. She is a cheer leader, treasurer of the White Angels and Home Economics Club, and is a sophomore representative to the Student Council. . She is also a member of L.S.A. When Beverly was asked how it felt to be Homecoming Queen, her answer was, "It was a thrill that couldn't be put into words."

Beverly's attendants were Miss Fran Larson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Larson, Peru, and

Mr. Floyd Robinson, Tecumseh, Nebraska.

At ten-thirty the annual coronation of the Homecoming Queen was held at the dance.

Stepping in time to the strains of "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," Beverly Gerdes, the 195'6 Homecoming Queen, and her attendants paraded across the dance floor.

The first attendant, Miss Fran Larson, wearing a white waltz length formal, was escorted by Mr. Ron Witt.

The 'second attendant, Miss Peg Robinson, wearing a blue waltz length formal, was escorted by Mr. Walter Huff.

Then, escorted by Mr. Jim Jones, Beverly Gerdes, Her Maj· esty, stepped into the spotlight wearing a ballerirnt length formal of ny Jon net over taffeta. The dress was a lovely shade of pink.

Beverly was crowned 1956 Homecoming Queen by President Gomon, who also presented the queen with a huge bouquet of w h i t e mums. Thereupon, the queen and her court led the traditional coronation dance.

DR. S. E. GERARD PRIESTLEY

Dr. Kenyon Plans Nov. 8Seminar Dr. Gordon Kenyon, head of the Di vision of Social Scie~ces, will condud ~.~minar type discussion wh~ S. E. Gerard Priestley is 'il're on November 8.

The semi~ar will be held in the basement floor of the Administration building from one to three.

Dr. Priestley is a British historian, world traveler, and specialist on international relations. His convocation talk in the morning will be "Hard Facts for Americans," a discussion of our international relations in Asia, India, and the Near East.

As Dr. Priestley, a world travel· er, is well acquainted with Latin American affairs and has written books such as "The Agrarian Problem in Mexico" and "The Proposed Federation of the British West Indies," Peru's Drs. Kenyon and Delaney are particularly interested in drawing Dr. Priestley out on current Latin American and British West Indian affairs in his discussion at the afternoon seminar.

Dr. Kenyon says: "Students in sociology, economics, and U. S. and Latin American history are especially urged to attend the seminar session at 1:00 p.m., November 8, in Room 104 of the Administration buliding. This seminar will be an unusually fine opportunity for them to obtain first hand comments upon problems of current interest in these fields.

Two Veteran Registrars Honored Here Lincoln Star, Oct. 23 Highlighting the :Nebraska Registrars and Admissions Officers' Association meeting on the Peru State Teachers College campus was the presentation of engrossed scrolls to two veteran members of the group, Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, of the University of Nebraska, and Miss Edith Smithey, of Kearney State Teachers College. The parchments, which named the recipient emeritus members of the group, were presented by Dr. Enock C. Dyrness, registrar of Wheaton (Ill.) College and vice president of the American Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers. Until recently Miss Smithey was registrar at Kearney State, a position she held since 1923, and Dr. Rosenlof has been admissions director at the University since 1934.

They are both remaining as members of the staffs of their respective institutions.

Editorial NOTICE - FACULTY

To the Griper Occasionally it is brought to the attention of this one that Peru State is totally lacking in social events; that Peru State is not the best place for the student to develop in the social skills that will enable him to take his place in society with the poise and grace that will certainly be required of him or her.

It appears to me that the fault does not rest with the school, nor with the faculty, but rather with the student body as a whole, and the student individually.

Recent events seem to bear this opinion out. "Recent" is used advisedly as the student body reacted favorably to the first week of activities and to the two dances held after the football games.

However: the attendance at the dance sponsored by the Veteran's Organization was disappointing to· the point of being indicting.

A live band-a band incidentally that ranks among the best of combos of its kind in this area, but, be that as it may, a live dance band was hired to provide the music for the event. About forty people showed up to enjoy it. Not only did the organization go into the hole, but also the gripers who complained about the lack of social events.

Even more re c en tl y: The Homecoming dance was held with an attendance of many alumni; even a few students were there. Perhaps that is a rather strong accusation, but not half as strong as the fragrance from the "big stinks" raised by the students who complain about the social life on this campus.

Social activities begin and end with the student. He is the one who knows what he wants; he is the one, and the .only one, who can provide what he wants; and he is the one who will have to support these activities if he wants to continue to have them.

At present the social program rests on the student council and the few organizations, such as the Vets who are willing to do a little work.

There are other organizations on campus who do a lot toward providing some excitement. The M.E.N.C. yearly sponsors the "Harvest Hop," which again loses some money when the student body fails to attend; the Dramatic Club last year sponsored a disc jockey hop which drew a large crowd, but was over far too soon because of a relatively early curfew at the girl's dorm.

With a terrific increase in enrollment, it should follow that there would be more hands to help in the social activities; but getting these hands together to work is another problem which is in need of being solved ...

-Dave Longfellow 27 October, 1956

Faculty members, remember the second general faculty meeting of the year to be held in Delzell Hall at 4:00 p.m. on November 5.

Convocation Pep Rally With Phil "C. B. DeMille" Neuhalfen presiding, Peru State held the annual Homecoming pep rally at one o'clock, Friday, Oct. 19, in the college auditorium.

The cheer leaders' initial appearance was met by more noise from the student body than has been forthcoming in many a pep rally. The band added its more disciplined noise· and the proceedings continued to the main event, a prophesying melodrama ..

The scene of the show was set in "The Old Oak Bar" where, as the curtain rose, Referee Tom Percell was serving beverages to a confirmed bar-fly, Red Downey.

Soon to happen in to quench their thirst were "Wesley Plainsman" (played by Cliff Boline), and "a cool cat named Bob" (played by Chuck Ti 11 man).

Plainsman was arrayed in hat, beard, long underwear, six gun and holster, and little else.

The pace was terrific as Plainsman and Bob set to, Plainsman with a variety of concoctions, and Bob with milk, straight.

The plot was complicated about this time: a real sweet dish (played by Dennis Schuller), strolls in and love smites the two contestants. Plainsman makes many advances, but Bob throws him for a whopping loss as he smoothly steps in and sweeps the gal off her feet.

The play closes as Plainsman, defeated and weary, collapses beside Downey.

All in all, it was as successful a play as has been presented here in a long time.

Speeches by Coach Al Wheeler and game captain Jack Ludwig were incorporated into the events as were several more yells (one led by those intrepid cheer leaders Profs. Moore, Jindra, Rowoldt, Miller, and Wininger), and several more band numbers.

Homecoming Ball Merry Occasion Bud Holloway and his orchestra were featured at the annual Homecoming dance, S a t u r d a y night, October 20th. The dance was held in the college gymnasium following the play.

At ten thirty the annual coronation of the Homecoming Queen was held. It was then announced that Miss Beverly Gerdes would reign over the dance and festivities.

The decorations, furnished by the Student Council, lent a fes-

"Ron s Briefs"

By Ron McKinney The Senior Chamber of Commerce of Auburn sponsored a free barbecue and dance Wednesday night, October 17. Lots of the boys from Delzell Hall ·drove over to Auburn and really "whooped" it up.

All the old graduates who visited the campus thought Peru State Teachers College was in great shape, especially those who visited Delzell Hall .. Some of the remarks that people wrote in the log book in the lobby of Delzell Hall were really complimentary.

"Mom" Balkema served coffee and cookies. The only remark she made was that she had served a lot of coffee.

Fred Regnier is just about finished with his "draggin-wagon."

It's a 1929 Ford, chopped and channeled with a hot motor. Altogether, Fred has worked on his little "jewel" about 1500 hours, and invested $150.

Beware: Elvis Presley has retired from the singing business.

He willed all his singing and dancing talents to Ray Nebelseck.

October 25 and 26 was teachers' cpnvention; that gave the dorm tllen a little time to rest up from tft,e strenuous Homecoming activities of the past week-end. Quite a few of the men I talked to did lots of. duck and pheasant hunting.

John "Peaches" Klaasmeyer, Darrell Rosenquist (f o o t b a 11 coach of Brock, Nebr.) and another guy from Brock drove out to Broken Bow, Nebr., and hunted pheasants. They drove out Friday night and hunted until Sunday. They bagged five pheasants.

The Dorm Council has ordered a cigarette vending machine to be put in the dormitory. It's expected to be here around the first of November. Now the boys won't have to walk over to the Bob-Inn or cafeteria to get cigarettes.

Bobcats Clobber Wesleyan In Mud

'.·

;e

By Hal Norris Soaking rain failed to stiffle Peru's Homecoming spirits. On October 20th, Bobcats led by . adept quarterback Sid Brown, waltzed in the mud to turn back an undermanned Wesleyan crew 24-0. .

The Wesleyan Plainsmen pressed Peru to the Bobcat side of the field thru-out the first quarter. But, in the remaining three quarters, Peru with Brown at the helm scored twice in the third quarter, and pushed single touchdowns over in the second and fourth periods. All Bobcat attempts at extra point conversions were miscued.

Firsi Quarier Receiving the opening kick-off, Wesleyan with quarterback Heffelfinger failed to ignite a sustained drive. An exchange of punts and ball toting by Keller and Holmes pushed Wesleyan within the Peru 19 yard stripe.

Here, the Blue Devil line stiffened. On a fourth down play, Plainsman Dale Lemon attempted a field goal; but, the ball fell short. This was Wesleyan's only serious scoring threat in the contest.

Later in the period, Peru's offense began to generate with Bookwalter, Stoltenburg, and Johnson lugging the football.

Reeling back the succeeding kickoff, Wesleyan with nine minutes, 20 seconds remaining in the third period started an air attack.

This attack was squelched as Bob Bryant picked off a Hellelfinger pass and raced 46 yards to the Wesleyan one-yard line. Here, again, Brown pushed over to place Peru well in front 18-0.

Bryant missed the conversion.

By Don Carlile Game captains for the Bobcats in the Hastings game were seniors Tom Moen, center from Bellevue; and. Del Stoltenberg, Nebraska City halfback.

The traveling squad· included: Ends, John Ludwig, Bellevue; Riley . Ruby, Tecumseh; Bob Humphrey, Auburn; Wayne Minchow, Table Rock; Jerry Grancer, Beatrice; Jack Gilmore, David City.

Student manager, Duane Birginal, Omaha.

Fourih Quarter The final period found Peru's Hart, Novachek, and Gibson carrying the football to the W~sley­ an eight-yard line. After a penalty setback to the 23-yard stripe, Gibson took a Brown pitchout and romped around his own left side for the 23 yards and the last TD of the game. Bryant's conversion attempt failed.

To end a very wet and muddy .

Peru Homecoming, with six minutes 51 seconds of game time remaining, the Bobcat seconds fought the Plainsmen scoreless.

Peru Edged

By Hastings

Hastings edged Peru Teachers, 21-19, Saturday night to tighten a grip on runner-up honors in the Nebraska College Conference.

The Broncs battled back in the second half after trailing, 13-7, at the intermission.

The margin of victory were extra points scored by three different players. Dick Erickson and Second Quarter The Bobcat offense never wa- Max Marr each kicked one and vered with the Cats skirting the Jake Moser plunged for the ·Wesleyan ends. These end- other.

Tom Osborne was the offensive around gallops with Stoltenburg ind Bookwalter added by Sid ace for the winners. He gained 3irown passes moved the football to the Wesleyan one-yard line where Brown pushed over. Gilmore split the uprights but the point was nullified; Peru was penalized for offensive holding.

Bob Bryant's attempt at the sect3nd Bobcat conversion was b1ocked. The half-time score end;:d with Peru holding a slim 6-0

Preps Scalp Tarkio Indians Peru Prep scored three touchdowns in as many of the closing minutes as they defeated the Tarkio, Missouri Indians 34-13 on Wednesday night, October 24 in the Oak Bowl.

Jerry He1;mings showed the way as he scored the first TD and led the way on defense and offense with tackles when needed and gains for first-and-ten's. The first touchdown came on a pass from Rex Rains to Hennings from the six-yard line. Ron Brock, regular quarterback out with a case of boils on· his arm, came off the bench to kick the extra point.

Tarkio roared back with two quick ones where Bill Able and Bill Kenoweg sparkled. Able and Kenoweg did the work as Tarkio

made a sustained march from their own 25-yard line. Marvin Freeman, the quarterback, finally took it over from the one. Bill Able ran for the point.

From their own 35 Tarkio, with first and thirty-two for the first and ten, carried to a touchdown.

Bill Able carried to the 46 and then caught a pass from Freeman and dodged through the Prepsters to the goal. The point attempt was no good, but Tarkio retained the lead until the half.

Jerry Patterson set Peru back into the lead as he rambled 44 yards in the second half. Brock returned to the game to kick the point and Peru led 14-13.

Peru inched the next one over as Rains scored on a quarterback sneak from the six-inch line. A bad pass from center foiled the try-for-point.

Peru ended the game with a flurry of scores as a minute later Patterson galloped 45 yards to score. Brock went in, kicked the point and came out only to trot back when, with ten seconds remaining in the game, Rains tossed to Jack Railsback, who went 62 yards for the TD. Brock kicked the extra point and Peru Prep ended up on the long end of a 34-13 score.

In the. f'Pst half Tecumseh ran over two TDs. Their tries for extra points were blocked. Prep fumbles were responsible for the scores.

The second half was a different story. Jerry Patterson broke over right tackle and raced 48 yards to tally. Brock kicked the conversion. Prep came right back for more but lost by the above mentioned pass interception.

Coach Jerry Comstock gives the Prepsters credit for a great try. He says the entire team looked good in action at all times, with Jack Railsback throwing, some key blocks.

lege items appearing in a column supposedly devoted to the campus school, cease wondering. College band and athletic (pep) affair& intermingle unrestrainedly.

Homecoming downpour eliminated the marching band of which there are a few high school members. Two of the high school members are also members of the high school pep club rendering them familiar with the ways of the popcorn popper located in that most desirable of places on a wet day, the concession stand.

What better way to keep dry than to offer to pop corn? That's using the old head, Judy's and Rae Ann's, to be explicit.

Campus· School Commentary

By Mary Ann· Gnade Strong arm bonus (literally or figur-tively?)-to borrow the kindergarten wagon and come to the Administration Building post office after packages of books, etcetera, for the campus school instmctors.

Birthday Always in order are treats for classmates by the mother of any child having a birthday. Miss Wonderly, having no parent to bring a birthday treat to her, was agreeably ·surprised when Roxanne Van Pelt (aided by her mother and father) brought cupcakes with frosting letters to spell out "Happy Birthday." To carry out the birthday theme, the 2nd graders decided they ought to have the privilege of "spanking" as Miss Wonderly did them.

One alert young'n piped up "I think she must be about forty, so how many spats do we give?"

To Miss Wonderly's relief, they lined up 'and one "spat" each worked out very well.

Eight Twirlers How the Campus School baton twirling crew grew! First home game they had three twirlers: Judy Adams, Marlene and Marcia Allgood. At prep homecoming there were also Sharon and Karen Beatty, Linda Sue Applegate and Patty Winningham stepping off the cadence. Nothing adds to a football game like welltrained majorettes.

Cheerleader J.G. And have you taken a look at the junior-grade cheerleaders?

Little Sherry and Muriel DeZwarte are the envy of the small fry with their routines. A class in cheerleading would draw a large enrollment.

Always decisions, or woes of a small school enrollment. Too many students must double or even triple in activities. For instance, how can a boy play in the band at the same time he is water boy for the team? The parents feel the weight of the problem as do the teachers, the student is caught between want to and ought to.

Monday, the 29th, 5th graders celebrated Mrs. Iversen's birthday with a grown-up style cake. (Incidentally, milk drinking time provides a very nice setting for birthday parties!)

Campus School Observes Homecoming The Peru State College Campus School observed its first Homecoming in the history of the school on October 19, 1956.

Displays were placed in front of the Campus School and at the Oak Bowl. The freshmen class decorated the goal posts; the sophomores displayed a large WELCOME sign on the field; the juniors carried out an Indian theme; the seniors made the witches' brew; and the pep club showed ships sailing for a win.

The Bobkittens played their Homecoming game with Tecumseh. They lost the game, but they tried hard for a win. At the halftime Sue Moore, the daughter of Professor Moore, was crowned Homecoming Que e n and Ronald Brock, Homecoming King. The royalty was escorted by attendants Chris Hays, Jerry Hertning, Jo Winingham, and Rex Rains. The crown bearers wer~ Ditto Wininger and Ann Masek. The Campus School Pep club formed a corridor for the procession.

The student council of the Campus School· sponsored a dance for all Campus School Alumni at the Campus School Auditorium after the Homecoming game. Mrs. Evelyn Shrader, the English supervisor at the Campus School, is the sponsor of the student council. David Miller and his Dixieland Band provided the music for the Homecoming dance.

Martha Sue Moore Homecoming Queen Of Campus School Miss M art ha Sue Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moore, Peru, was crowned the 1956 Homecoming Queen of the Campus School.

The crowning took place Friday, October 19th, in a half-time ceremony. Martha Sue was crowned Homecoming Queen, and Ronald Brock, Homecoming King. The attendants were Chris Hays, Jerry Hemmey, Jo Weningham, and Rex Rains. Crown bearers were Ditto Wininger and Ann Masek.

Martha Sue is very .active in school activities. She is president of the senior class, vice president of the Pep Club, recreation chairman for F.H.A., and a reporter for the student council.

er angle. The dorm was £ul1 of guests; Rutzie's room should get credit for being most typically filled with people.

Not many girls were fools enough to venture to the stadium Saturday for the Homecoming game. For the few brave souls who sat out a portion of the downpour, the dorm was razed of all available plastic bags, raincoats, umbrellas, magazines and newspapers to make the ducky weather a little more comfortable. Girls still dragged in from the game looking like drowned kittens, and hasty repair jobs were made on hair-do's for the dance and play that evening.

The week-end was an especially happy one for those girls who were lucky enough to have their out-of-town fellows come to Peru for the festivities.

Franci must have a mad, uncontrollable passion for Elvis Presley; or the song, "Love Me Tender," must thrill her beyond explanation. Her record player has continually entertained all within hearing with this musical rendition for several days.

One of the occupants of Room 220 was honored during the Homecoming celebrations. Beverly Gerdes was crowned Homecoming queen.

Gail has been having trouble knitting her "tiny garments" for textile class. So far, four of her attempts have ended in failure.

We can only pity her future children, who may never possess any booties knitted by mama's own hand.

When one thing at the dorm breaks down, everything seems to follow suit. The inter-com hasn't worked ·for two weeks, which creates more confusion than comfort for the desk girls.

"Otis," the elevat6r, ' decided to quit working for a few days.

Even the steam iron has caught the spirit and refuses to cooperate with nice white clouds of steam. That's where Chris' steam iron and Peg's ironing board begin to .make the rounds.

One improvement is in sight, though. A "kitchen sho\yer" has been planned for October 31 to provide much-needed kitchen equipment for the dorm. More about that in the next column ..

Homecoming Data

By Donna Gaer The annual Homecoming of the Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru was held October 20th.

There was a shower in the afternoon the first time it had rained during the Homecoming festivities for more than ten years.

Even with the rain our football boys came through and won the game against Wesleyan.

200 Alumni Here The alumni, as well as the rest of us, were disappointed that it was, a little damp, but approxi·mately two hundred registered.

No doubt more were here, but it was difficult to have them gather at one place )<>- register. Free coffee and doug'hnut~.were served by the White Angels.

Football Luncheon There was also a fo o t b a 11 luncheon at t eteria at eleven o'clock a ich ninety persons were present. About thirty of these were alumni men who had played on Peru's teams in years gone by.

We are sorry that the 1956 Homecoming weather was not more pleasant, but even if it had been, the day could not have been a more delightful, wellspept twenty four hours.

By Marilyn Slagle The Peru State version of the Music Educators' National Congress opens its all-student activities next Monday, November 19, by sponsoring the Fall Frolic, a formal dance to be held in the College Gymnasium.

Spicing .the program will be a floor show featuring Phil Neuhalfen and Company, and there will be dancing for all to the music of the Dixie Thunderbirds.

The dance will start at 9 o'clock and doors will close at midnight.

Tickets are now on sale from any M.E.N.C. member.

The dance is open to everyone and all students are invited and urged to attend. Even if you don't have a date, you will be able to find a partner, and the floor show will be a big treat in itself.

ill Student Replies Dear Mr. Editor,

In reference to your article written in the Ped. dated Nov. 2, 1956, entitled, "To the Griper," there is also another point of view, which should be taken into consideration.

Naturally a person must agree with your point of view concerning the social life at P.S.T.C.; however, you must admit that there are two sides to every story, and of course the other side has formulated the opinion that the fault is with the faculty rather than the students.

Some of the students have the attitude that this is a college run for the Administration and not the student. This is based on the fact that students must abide by the regulations made by the Administration. Wouldn't it be nice if the Student Council could meet with the Administration, so that the students' point of view might be noted.

In reference to the attendance at the dances-during the Homecoming dance, you might take .into consideration the rainy weather. However, if you'll recall the previous dances, you might refer to the Administration and faculty for noncooperation. fu,the case of the Vet's dance, there were three organizations meeting and play practice, which I'm sure could have started 30 minutes earlier in order to let out in time for the dance.

Now, Mr. Editor, you have stated your side, and I have stated a few comments of the students, so let's analyze the problem. Don't you feel that both the Administration and the Student Body are at fault? The Administration does not seem to try to assist any organization with acquiring a nonconflicting date and schedules other events for that evening.

Second, the Administration and faculty do not try to help the organizations with helpful suggestions, but rather criticisms. Third, the faculty would be well accepted at dances by the students-if they came at all.

Now the students are at flj-Ult, too. First, by standing their ground when they oppose regulations without considering that the Administration might have had some purpose behind it; second, fellows, where are your dates for these social events? I admit that playing cards or watching TV might be enjoyable, but it can't compete with a date and a dance.

Mister Editor, I do think that you will agree that the students are not at fault entirely, but that a combination of the Administration, Faculty, and Student Body share the responsibility.

-Bill Kochheim.

Editor's Note: Possibly you're right, but I still think that the students have made their bed and they will have to sleep in it until they change the sheets.

Anyone else have any ideas on the subject? We'll gladly print them if they have something constructive to say and they don't libel anybody. gate and uncover the culprit • who has been tearing up the guys' rooms up on third floor.

Ron's Briefs

By Ron McKinney

The cigarette vending machine that the dormitory council ordered is here. It was placed in the lobby of Delzell Hall. · The pep club sponsored a snake dance that went through Delzell Hali on November 8, 1956. The boys on third floor gave the girls a rough time by putting blockades of desks, chairs, and what-have-you at both ends of the halls. After the snake dance through the hall, they went around the back of the gymnasium and had a pep rally. After a few "yells," the gang broke up.

Kenny Sand seems to be having quite a lot of tire trouble. It seems, while he was driving home Friday night, a tire blew out. While he was changing it,. another tire was going down.

Well, I guess he finally made it t.o Beatrice. Now he wants to know if anybodys wants to buy a good automobile with tires slightly worse for the wear.

There are a lot of people on the campus wondering what happened to Karl Faller and Ed Hartman. Well, here is what happened. Karl and Ed decided to go to a telegraphy school in Omaha. By the way, Bob Miller has taken over their art museum.

Delzell Hall continued its spirit of hospitality with a dance following the Midland game. Cookies and hot chocolate were served

as refreshments at the dance.

Everyone had a good time and there was a request for more of the same. The dance was held in the TV lounge. There was a fire in the fireplace, and the music was recorded.

The playing of cards here in the dorm is surely catching. Now at night, after the men are all through studying, they settle down and play cards until the "wee-hours" of the night.-1 think the dorm council should look into this thing and elect an anticard playing committee. A coup!~ of good boys for this job W'ould be Ron Stoltenburg and John Smith.

Bob Fisher, Fred Baum, Lee McGinnus and Jerry Krakow drove to Omaha last W'eek to watch the "Rock and Roll" show.

The Teenagers along with other popular talent performed in the show. The boys said they really enjoyed it.

Shrub Snoops

Since the last deadline fell just before Halloween, all the leftover tricks-'n-treating W'ill have to start this column. Eliza Morgan Hall really flang a fling that week.

Starting the ball rolling, basement and first floor girls threw a big Halloween party on the Monday night before the 31st in the rec. room. Girls from the two flom;s found themselves making masks from paper bags and eating ihteresting concoctions called "witches' brew,"' "ghost eggs," and "moon rings."

Halloween night itself found a "kitchen shower" in progress.

Girls brought kitchen equipment, beautifully gift-wrapped, for .the occasion. Engaged girls, Maxine Lawritson, Gail Peterson, Deanna Thomas and Mary Knight opened the gifts, which were placed in the kitchen for the use of the residents.

Following the kitchen shower, Betsy and Donna converted their room into an eerie, ill-lit chamber-the meeting place of the Elephant Club. Witches, Chinamen, tramps, and-ah-other interesting characters were initiated and sworn in as fellow Ele· phants. Mental telepathy and eating popcorn seemed to be the chief means of entertainment.

Fine Edition Of Peru Stater .-For Homecoming

By Donna Gaer Mr. Donald Carlile, director of special services, ·has published a yery fine Homecoming edition of · .JJ;ie Peru S:ta:ter. It is a booklet printed especially for the Peru alumni. I am sure most of you have read and enjoyed this magazine which tells what is happening on and .off the "Campus of a .Thousand Oaks."

Cover the cover of this edition, .the Peru Stater has a picture of . the housing project for married students. It shows one of the new, modern homes which is situated on the east side of the cam..pus. The living quarters are in . use for the first time this year.

·bn

Varied Content Tl:i.is booklet tells about former students of Peru who have given birth to children, and died. It gives the names of eighty-four PeruviJtns who have acquired placement in their chosen fields since the .spring announcement.

There is an article about the 126 students who received their degrees and diplomas at the the end ,. ef'i:he spring and summer school ·terms of this year. The Homecoming game against Wesleyan ·and other activities of the day ·were summarized. The Peru Achievement Foundation Schol.· arship winners were mentioned. ·There is also a reminder that · ·contributions for this fund are still needed and will be helpful to many students who do not have the financial means to attend college, but with the help · ·of this wonderful organization ·they will be able to attain their 'goals. There is also ·a short story about the reunion of the 1906 class, or the "Naughty Sixes" as they were called.

Grand Job You combine all the facts that are mentioned above into twenty' pages that are set up by Mr. Carlile and you have a magazine that is packed with information that is interesting to former students, and future students of Peru. The hard work, time, and patience that the director of special services and his staff have put into this booklet is surely greatly appreciated by all its .readers. ·

The Man With the Cane Here is one of the most interesting and happy-go-lucky fellows that you will see for some ·time on the campus of P.S.T.C. .He is a man by the name of William (Bill) Lee Clark. . Bill Clark was born Sept. 18, 1934, in the town of Nemaha, Nebraska. After a few years in Nemaha, Bill left Nemaha and entered the Auburn high school, where he finished the first semester of the eleventh grade. Bill quit school on the 18th day of March 1952. He entered the United States Air Force on March 21, 1952.

Bill took his basic training at Parks Air Force Base in California. He was later transferred to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. After completing training in Texas, he was shipped to Lockbourne Air 'Force Base in Columbus, Ohio.

At Lockbourne, Bill was assistant crew chief on a KC-97 aircraft. He also finished his high school education by taking G.E.D. tests: On January 4, 1955, Bill left Lockbourne to be stationed at Robins Air Force Base in Geor&ia. During the month of March

of this same year, Bill met with

. It Happened On Another Campus

By Dwight Safar ·Spoilsport police r e c en t 1y chased 120 Minnesota University students and their frothing cans of beer (root, of course) from a sandbar in the Mississippi river.

Four squads of police were necessary to evacuate the students, beer blankets, etc. Between 300 and 400 empty beer cans were abandoned in the trail of dust left by 240 stampeding feet.

There was plenty of foam on that range until the "steer clear of beer" officials stepped in.

OBLIGATION The primary obligation of the teaching profession is to guide children, youth, and adults in the ptirsuit of knowledge and skills, to prepare them in the ways of democracy, and to help them to become happy, useful, self-supporting citizens. The ultimate strength of the nation lies in the social responsibility, economic competence, and moral strength of the individual American.

PTA INVITATION This is a special invitation (which is good all year) offering a cordial welcome to all mothers, fathers, and other interested citizens, to attend our PTA meetings the third Tuesday of every month. (If you do not belong, the invitation is to join PTA, but in any case, to attend.)

One stipulation: a parent and a paid baby sitter will take care of babies up to six years old in the kindergarten room. If your older children must come with you, they are welcome to sit in on the adult meeting. NO CHILD should be at the school unless his parents are there.

This is a legislative year when big issues directly affecting our schools will be debated and voted on. How would you answer questions such as these?: How does our state compare educationally with other states?

What are the reasons for these differences?

What improvements should be made? (HOW this can be done is in letting our legislators know our convictions in these matters.)

How can a person be a good parent without being a responsible citizen?

Tuesday evening is a PTA meeting so we can listen and question and discuss and come to a conclusion on vital legislation in connection with the education of our children. . How some of this legislation is.c'decided will affect our pocketbooks as well as how and where and by whom our children will be taught.

We hope you can come because it is· important that every responsible citizen hear the discussion or our panelists: John Stevenson, Dee Jarvis, and Robert Moore.

Danforth Awards For Grad Study The Danforth Foundation, an educational trust fund in St. Louis, Missouri, invites applications for the sixth class (1957) of Danforth Graduate Fellows from college senior men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and are planning to enter graduate school in September, 1957, for their first year of graduate study. The Foundation welcomes applicants from the areas of Natural and Biological Sciences, Humanities and all fields of specialization to be found in the undergraduate college.

President Gomon has named Dr. Harold Boraas as the Liaison Officer to nominate to the Danforth Foundation two or not to exceed three candidates for these fellowships. These appointments are fundamentally "a relationship of encouragement" throughout the years of graduate study, carrying a promise of financial aid within prescribed conditions as there may be need. The maximum annual grant for single Fello.w s is $1§~0; for married Fellows, $240'6 with an additional stipend for cihldren. S:tuden:ts with or wi:thout financial need are invi:ted :to apply. A Danforth Fellow is lowed to carry other scholars · · pointments, such as Rhodes, right, WoodrowWilson, Marshall, etc., concurrently with his Danforth Fellowship, and applicants for these appointments are cordially invited to apply at the same time for a Danforth Fellowship. If a man receives the Danforth Appointment, together with a. Rhodes Scholarship, Fulbright Scholarship, or Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he becomes a Danforth Fellow without stipend, until these other relationships are completed.

All Danforth Fellows will participate in the annual Danforth Foundation Conference on Teaching, to be held at Camp Miniwanca in Michigan next September.

The qualifications of the candidates as listed in the anonuncement from the Foundation are: men of outstanding academic ability, personality congenial to the classroom, and integrity and character, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition.

Five Lettermen And Promising Freshmen For Basketball Sq~ad

By Don Carlile Jack Mcintire, new head basketball coach at Peru State has inherited only five lettermen from the 1954-55 squad. Limited practice has been underway since October 15.

The five lettermen, plus Jast year's squad members, eight transfer students and several promising freshmen make up the current roster.

Returning lettermen are Bob Kramer, Syracuse senior with three letters; Ron Witt, Otoe junior with two letters; Bob Norton, Falls City senior with two letters; Frank Davis, a last year's Highland (Kans.) Junior College transfer with one Peru letter, and Tekamah Pat Novacek, oneyear letterman.

Squad members from last year who are making a strong bid for their 1956-57 letters in the roundball sport are Jim Bennett, Pawnee senior; Charles Tillman, North Platte sophomore; Don Holscher, Syracuse senior; Al Smart, Beattie, Kans., sophomore, and Jack Pennington, Humboldt junior. A mid-year transfer student from the University of Nebraska last year, Douglas ("Hoot") Gibson of Falls City, will be working for a starting berth this spring.

Lending assistance in raising the Bobcats' basketball standing in the N.C.C. from their fourthplace spot last year will be Bruce Smith of Coin, Iowa, a transfer from Iowa State; Jack Sprague of Glenwood, Iowa, and Alan Duey of Chester, University of Nebraska transfers; John Dennis of Springfield, Ill., a Southern Illinois transfer; Bill Miller of Everest, Kans., a Highland (Kans.)

Junior College transfer; Don Farley of Chester and Gilbert Gray of Milligan, Fairbury Junior College transfers.

Promising freshmen on the roster include Charles Francis, Abraham Lincoln High of Council Bluffs grad, Robert Strong, Syracuse; Marvin Bergsten, Red Oak.• Iowa, and Jerry Collier, Falls City. Several freshmen from the football squad have not as yet reported to pradice, McIntire said.

The season will open for the Bobcats at home on November 27 with the alumni as opponents.

Game time is 8 p.m.

Peru Bobkittens Will Lose Eight Seniors This Year The Peru Bobkittens have played seven games. The Bobkittens have chalked up four wins and three losses so far this season. Jerry Henning, a fullback in his senior year, has contributed a lot to the team. Jerry Pattersen, a senior halfback, along with Dennis Dallam, has pulled the Bobkittens through some pretty rough spots.

But, of course, without the backing of the rest of the team, the Bcibkittens wouldn't have been very successful. A lot of the honors go to Peter Holdorf, Rex Rains, Jack Railsback, Jim Bohlken, Jack Crabtree, Monte Allgood and George Nincehelser.

The Bobkittens will lose all of their backfield next year except one. Eight seniors, all starters, will be graduated this year.

There are only three ·under classmen playing regularly this year that will start next year.

Ralph was operated on at the midcenter. He lost approximately eight pints of blood, and the bullet damaged his intestine. The next morning a Catholic priest came to the center to give Ralph his last rites. By some miracle he pulled through, but he was still on the critical list for nine days. While Ralph was in the midcenter, infection took place in his wound, and he was immediately transferred to the hospital ship which was at anchor in Inchon.

From there he was transferred to a hospital in Japan. Then after a few days he was flown to Oakland, California. Then Ralph's final trip was to the Great Lake.s.

The bullet is still lodged a quarter of an inch from his spine. The doctors are .afraid to operate because they might hit a vital nerve.

It may also be recalled that Lowe was also the Dean of the College, and at one time took the whee1 as acting president.

Bobcats Slay Warriors 42-6 Friday night, November 2, the last home game of the season was played by the Peru Bobcats as they beat Midland 42-6. Friday night was also the 32nd meeting between the Peru Bobcats and the Midland Warriors.

Last season Peru won over Midland with 27-6 victory.

Buddy Bookwalter took the opening kickoff and ran 18 yards.

In the next play, which was during the first forty seconds of the game, Bob Bryant went over his left tackle and ran 62 yards for the first touchdown of the game.

Bryant also kicked the extra point.

After the kickoff Midland made a couple of plays but fumbled the ball, and it was recovered for the Bobcats by Chuck Krumme.

After about nine minutes and forty-four seconds of the game was gone, Sid Brown went over on a keeper play for the second T.D. of the ball game. Bryant kicked the extra point.

In the last 50 seconds of the first quarter and a direct pitchout play Doug Gibson ran 67 yards for the Bobcats third T.D.

Bryant kicked the extra point and the first quarter ended with a 21-0 lead by the Bobcats.

In the second quarter, Midland drew a 15 yard penalty which put them back to their own two yard line. The Warriors kicked and Henry Hart returned the pigskin to the Midland 12 yard line. Henry Hart carried the ball over the goal line for the Bobcats fourth T.D. Gary Adams kicked the extra point. The half ended with a 28-0 lead by Peru.

Sid Brown opened the third quarter with an eight yard run back. Later with Midland in possession of the ball, they fumbled and it was recovered for Peru by Krumme. Gibson went over for the first T.D. of the third quarter, Jack Gilmore kicked the extra point.

In the final portion of the ball game, Raymond Ruzicka recovered the ball for the Bobcats but they lost the pigskin to Midland on downs.

During this fourth and final quarter of the game, Krumme again recovered a fumble for Peru. With one minute and 49 seconds left to play in the game, Henry Hart had to be taken from the game because he apparently got the wind knocked out of him.

Immediately after this play, Bob Humphrey had to also be taken from the game because of an ankle injury.

With one minute and two seconds left of the game, there was

a pass play from Don Winter to Roland Kull for the first Midland T.D. of the game. The try for extra point was no good.

Duane Birginal, a 1953 graduate of Omaha's Benson High School, is all but the forgotten man on the Peru State College football squad.

For his second consecutive year the senior physical education major has been handling the n;ianaging duties for the Peru State Bobcat gridsters. ,.

Since "Birg" was out for football during his freshman and sophomore years, he understands from both angles the problems of managing the mountain of equipment necessary to keep a squad operating smoothly.

Se~ms that such an important person wouldn't be forgotten. But for two of the three "away" contests his name was not on the "excused from class list" as a traveling member of the squad. It's on those "away" contests that comes the big chore-making sure that the equipment is in good order and in the right place when needed.

He'll be quick to tell you that there's more to managing a team than trotting onto the field with the water jug during time-outs.

The use of personal experience, historical information and vividly descriptive phrases impressed upon the audience Dr. Priestly's understanding of world affairs.

Dr. Gordon Kenyon, who aided in the seminar, expressed that he wished more people could have attended the seminar, and pointed out that Dr: Priestly approached the Near East question with no political bias either from the English or American point of view.

Paul Bley Trio Entertains Crowd

By Margaret Robinson The Paul Bley Trio, consisting of Mr. Bley at the piano, bassman Peter Ind, and drummer Alan Levitt presented an unusual and exceptionally entertaining performance on November 5 in the college auditorium. The trio presented a short history of jazz and several currently popular numbers. Midway through the program, there was a short interlude during which Dave Longfellow displayed his talents as official oiler of the piano pedal.

The performance proved the trio not only masters of the technicalities of modern jazz, but also possessors of the showmanship and drive needed to gain professional success.

Bob Norton, hailing from Falls City is the president of the student council this year. A business major, Bob also shows prowess on the basketball floor and was a regular on the Bobcat cage team last year. He is a member of the Commercial Club, Blue Devils, and the "P" Club.

Another Falls City resident chosen is Bill Allbright. He spent four years in the Air Force and some time at San Jose (Calif.)

State College before transferring to Peru. A history major, Bill is the guiding light of the International Relations Club, and, by a strange coincidence, he is the vice president of the student council, assisting a hometown friend.

Peru Prep was the secondary school for two Who's Who-ers; Roger Haigh is a resident of Peru with a major in history and speech. He gets lots of practice speaking when he is on debate trips with fellow prep graduate and debate partner, Bob Moore.

Bob Moore is a speech major.

During his college career he has appeared in· a number of dramatic productions, as has Haigh.

Adding a feminine touch to the Roster are Elberta Rhoten and Doris Wuster. 'Bert is· a music major and belongs to a number of organizations, including: Sig-

Debaters to Tournament A five man squad left the 27th of November for the debate and speech tournament to be held at East Central State College, Ada, Oklahoma.

Roger Haigh and Bob Moore are entering their second year of tournament debating. This is the first year of tournament debating for Rex Filmer and Bill Albright, who will constitute Peru's second team.

Tom Whitney went to the tournament. He will not debate

but will enter contests in extemporaneous speaking and after dinner speaking.

The East Central tournament is always sort of a reunion for Coach R. D. Moore, who is a graduate of East Central, where he had a whale of a career as an undergraduate. Among his major triumphs were: winning a medal for the best grades in school, being c_o-founder of Pi Delta Kappa, being a member of the state championship debating team.

COACH STEMPER AND PERU ATHLETES AT STERLING FETE Assistant Coach Jerome Stemper was guest speaker at the Sterling Community club, Nov. 19, as Sterling Coach Cecil Walker and his Maroon players were honored guests.

Other guests from Peru were Del Stoltenberg, senior football player from Nebraska City, and Bob Norton, senior basketball player and president of the Student Council from Falls City.

Bill was presented with this delicate machine through the Veterans organization from the American Foundation for .the Blind. According to Bill, he uses this machine to record lectures in the classroom.

The machine operates electrically and cuts records of paper thickness. Each side of the record plays for fifteen minutes. Bill can record something and set the machine needle back and play it back immediately. It records size thirty-three and one-third r.p.m. records.

Other interesting things which Bill picks up with his recorder are educational radio programs.

Bill's sister reads books to him which he records and uses for study purposes. Bill is very proud of this machine and says it will help him in his studies many ways.

Bill was taught to operate this machine at the Hines' Blind V.A. Rehabilitation Center in Hines, Illinois.

Ron s Briefs

By Ron McKillney

Jerry Krakow has a new angle . o"n. how to earn money. It seems, .tha:.t during Thanksgiving vacation Jerry went hunting-for jack rabbits that is. He hunted all day and shot thirty ~ack rabbits. He then drove home and sold the rabbits to a mink farmer for twenty cents apiece. The mink farmer skinned and cooked them for food for the mink. That's a profit of six dollars-not bad for a couple. of hours of hunting.

New Dean

Is Interviewed Dean Keith Melvin likes the college age group in teaching according to an interview with the Pedagogian. He's had 10 years in two schools to get used to them.

It was in 1946 when he became dean of the college at McCook Junior College. Before that he was in the secondary system at a number of Nebraska high schools, and as a matter of fact he has never taught outside of Nebraska.

Following a long stint at McCook he went to the University of Nebraska to work on his doctorate degree and to teach in the teachers college there. His wife is still in Lincoln where she will fill out her contract as a teacher in the elementary school system.

Dean Melvin started as a mathematics and science teacher and coach, but like many others he got into the administrative branch and was soon serving in that capacity more than teaching.

His job here will have to do predominately with the instructional program and the problems relating to that. Judging from that it would seem that his specialty is school administration.

He has one daughter, Nancy, who is a junior in nursing educat,ion at University Hospital in Omaha.

His hobby is woodworking and the self-manufacture of furniture.

A major interest is spectator participation in all sports.

Students Return From Press Meet

By Donna Gaer The 32nd Annual Conference of the Associated Collegiate Press was held in the Hotel Statler at Cleveland, Ohio on November 8, 9, and 10, 1956. Mr. J. D. Levitt and four Peru students attended this conference. The students were as follows: Dick Corwine. editor of the Peruvian; Dave Longfellow, editor of the Pedagogian; Ruth Linscheid and Donna Gaer, reporters for the Pedagogian. · The five delegates left Peru at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 6.

We boarded a Greyhound bus at Nebraska City and were on our way by 3:45. The bus schedule took us through Omaha, Nebraska to Chicago, Illinois, where we had an hour lay over. This was just time to eat a decent meal and return to the gates to catch our bus for Cleveland.

We ate Wednesday lunch at the Glass House on the Ohio turnpike. This is where we came in contact with our first really expensive meal. The restaurant had a very enjoyable atmosphere, and the food was delicifos.

Thµrsday morning, we registered on the mezzanine of the Statler Hotel. There were not any classes scheduled for that day, so we had sor;ne time to see the city..

The men saw some of Cleveland in the afternoon, but the girls got as far as the department store across the street.

Classes began Friday. Mr. Levitt attended the ones about photography; Dick took the ones

We left Cleveland at 9:00 p.m.

Saturday to begin our trip back to P.S.T.C. We rolled into Omaha at 9:30 Sunday night. There we had a two-hour and 15 minute lay over before we could catch our bus for Nebraska City.

We wish to take this space to thank the Publications B'oard for making this trip possible. It was very educational and also fun. A million laughs and a lot of learning resulted from those five days that were spent in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Associated Collegiate Press Conference.

For those who wish to get material ·in The Pedagogian, the following p u b 1i c a t i o n dates are given. Material for publication must be in four days in advance of the publication date. The Pedagogian will be happy to publish news and announcements furnished by reporters for campus organizations. Dates for the remainder of the year follow.

Ghost of Christmas Past When the angels appeared to the wandering shepherds as they kept watch over their sheep, in the fields near Bethlehem, the celestial chorus sang that glorious song of old, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." So began our most beloved religious festival· Christmas, or Christ-mass. Now, all over the world, this holiday is celebrated in various ways, under such names as Kerstmisse in Holland; Noel in France; II Natale in Italy; Weihmachten in Germany; .· and El Natal in Spain.

One of the most highly cherished traditions connected with our Christmas celebrations is the story of the coming of the Wise Men from the far East to pay homage to the Infant Jesus in the manger at Bethlehem. A popular .and stately Christmas hymn, "We Three Kings of Orient Are," reminds us of this famous incident.

Because of the well known incident of the coming of the Magi, many persons have the belief that the custom of giving gifts at our winter festival originated with their presentation of gifts to the Infant Jesus. However, the idea was p rev a 1 e n t even before Christ's birth. The Romans used to exchange gifts at this time.

For many centuries, S ant a Claus has been associated with Christmas and gifts. Although it is customary to regard him as a myth, there actually was a real St. Nicholas, an early christian bishop, who lived during the fourth century. It was because of

Shrub Snoops

By Lois Bush

Girls checked in last Sunday night after the week-end laden with Christmas trees, wrapping paper, gifts, ornaments, and probably a little mistletoe to hang up in the lobby on the sly. Christmas is here! Christmas tree lights twinkle in the lobby of an evening, and in the background the hi-fi • set is wearing out the Chri~tnras records. The weeks before 'th,e holidays are crammed with~ plans for Christmas parties, Christtnas teas, Christmas dances and Christmas shopping. Dunno what the season is, but it ain't Easter!

The annual Christmas tea for the faculty was held the afternoon of Tuesday, December 11.

The tea included an open house and tour of the dorm.

A second vote found the girls almost unanimous for a Christmas formal instead of the tentative ideas for a party. So a free formal dance to celebrate the holidays was held the evening of December 13.

Because we have been insisting on more strict observance of calling hours for men at Morgan Hall recently, some misunderstandings s e e m to have ariseil.

No new rules have been made, we have just been insisting on observing to the letter existing rules and regulations, whereas earlier in the year there had been some relaxing of the rules.

Relaxed rules perhaps make for a· more relaxed and friend ly feeling; but, on the other hand, you can go too far and have no rules in time.

There are 118 girls living in Morgan Hall; it is their home and any boys who treat it as they would the home of their best girl are welcome to come, subject to our regular visiting hours, which are: 11 :30 to 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 to 10:00 p.m.

Thank you all.

Peru Bobcats Don't Give Hoot For Tarkio Owls The Peru State Bobcats showed speed and scoring power as they defeated the Tarkio Owls 83-64 at the Tarkio gymnasium on Friday, November 30.

With Bob Kramer leading the way, Peru jur~ped out in front early and stayed there. The score stood 44-38 at the half, and following the intermission the 'Cats showed their over-all scoring power as they poured in points from all over the floor, and with their reboundability displayed a potent fast-break that has been conspicuously absent the last few years.

The game was called because of darkness with four minutes remaining in the last half, and because of the short time and great lead, the Bobcats were declared the winners.

Kramer was high point man for Peru with 26, followed by Ron Witt with 22. Max Dougherty of Tarkio proved the big point-producer of the evening as he poured in 30 for the losers. Teammate George Arnold helped out with 19 points.

The Peru defense had the free throw lane sewed up and was vulnerable only to the lightningfast Dougherty and the uncanny jump-sh,ooting Arnold.

Omaha U. Trips Bobcats Last week after winning a hard game against the Tarkio Owls with a 83-64 win, the Bobcats returned home Tuesday night with a 59-53 loss to the Omaha U. Indians.

"A good teacher takes. part in community activities. A good school plant is used for more than daily class work~" Both "birds" were killed with one "stone" November 26 , when the Boy Scout Court of Honor was held in the campus school lunchroom. Our faculty was well represented: A. B. Clayburn has been scoutmaster for many years; on the Scouting committee are Hanford Miller and B. A. Eddy. The candlelight investiture ceremony for Tenderfoot Scouts was conducted

by Lawrence Williams, pastor of the local Christian church and also a full time college student.

The awards and presentations made added up to a lot of work, a lot of fun, ? lot of character development.

wear white or near-white dresses (or shirts?). WHAT is the program going to be!? Guess we'll all have to come and see (Thursday evening, December 20).

A Fast Buck?

The high school seniors are no slouches at this money raising business. They allowed the elementary grades to come to the dress rehearsal of their play (10c each) thus obtaining a group for audience reaction and reaping a tidy little profit.

December Snake Dr. Wininger found a foot-long bull snake. Dr. Wininger largeheartedly offered said snake · to the campus school for their acquarium or terrarium. Mr. Sheely informed him they now have a "no snakes" rule since one es- . caped (or was helped)" from Mr. Eddy's room to Mr. Johnson's second floor office last year and nearly scared the office girl witless. (Secret: Mr. Sheely admits to having some fear of snakes himself!)

We-Miss-You Illnesses cause a rash of letter writing in the campus school lower grades. The week of December third Pearl Allgood, 2nd grade, Lesley Manring and Georgette Gomon, 1st grade, received "get-well-we-miss-you" 1 et t e rs from each classmate. This usually means that mother must then help the ailing one write a response.

Christmas Program Christmas Symbols In Song is the theme of the Campus School Christmas program. The program is going to be held December 20, 7:00 p.m. at the college auditorium. Each grade is going to represent a Christmas symbol. · These classes represent Christmas symbols as follows: Kindergarten ------------- toys First grade __ Christmas stockings Second grade ______ candy canes Third grade -------------- bells Fourth grade ____ holly wreaths Fifth grade ------------ candles Sixth grade -------------- stars Seventh and eighth grades __ _ ____________________ shepherds

Christmas Violins Mr. Jindra and Mrs. Cotton believe that public performances are the reward for long hours of lessons for their violinists and Mr. Manring is in general cellists.

suade Jed Stewart (Rex Rains), Mary Jane Bremmar (Sue Moore) and her Aunt Molly (Judy Miller) that the cabin is haunted by "speerits." The arrival of the lawyer, Humphries (Dave Stevenson), Mrs. Murdoch (Connie Sayer) and her ·daughter, Gwen (Nadine Adcock), and Victoria Trouble (Mary Tynon), convince Mary Jane that the cabin is not rightfully hers and that the intruders want to take over the estate of her "adopted" father. Not until the mysterious Magnin (Dennis Dallam) appears and proves himself to be the "dead" James Murdoch with a case of amnesia, is the mystery of the man on the stairs solved.

Judy Tynon was prompter for the play; Jim Christ handled sound effects. Jim Boatman was a stage manager. Lois Bush was student director under the super.vision of Mr. R. D. Moore.

Mrs. Shrader Attends St. Louis Meeting During Thanksgiving vacation, the National Council for English Teachers was held in St. Louis.

Thursday night, Mrs. Shrader, an English teacher of the campus school, attended a dinner given by the Scholastic Magazine.

Paul Engle, from Iowa, spoke and read some of his poetry. Dr. Helen Mackintosh of the United States Department of Education was elected the new president.

The next meeting will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, next year. Mrs. Shrader stated there were about eighteen hundred people in attendance.

Coffee Strips Third grader Dalene Ballue appeared as a guest before the elementary student council to explain the Butter-Nut coffee strips and to ask the council members to ask their rooms to bring all they could. She offered to do the legwork in collecting the strips from each room every night and since Danna Henry rode a bus and could not stay, Jeannie Gnade helped in the collecting.

The strips had to be sent in by December 12th, and as of December 7th, the total number collected was 1,285 with the 4th grade contributing the most. These projects presented to the children as "desirable" become "edicts" at home: "Mother, I've just got to take a Butter-Nut coffee strip to buy presents for the orphans."

High Style Another outside activity taking place in the campus school on December 4th was the college Home Economics Club Style Show with music, announcer, refreshmentsvery smoothly professional, very satisfactory to performers and observers.

Remember Dec. 20 Christmas is a time when teachers are unsung saints what with coping with boisterousness, shyness, stage fright, forgetfulness, and the eternal runny nose!

But how do you costume a candle? Or a stocking, a candy cane, a star? Mrs. Iversen very kindly sent home a suggestion for her 5th grade candle costumes (a tube!); Mrs. Christ's 6th grade stars wear their Sunday go-tomeetin' clothes; ditto Miss Gard's 1st grade stockings; same is probably true of Mrs. Brown's 4th grade wreaths and Miss Clarke's 3rd grade bells; Miss Wonderly's 2nd grade candy sticks should

Dennis Dallam From Alask~ In Campus S'"chool Denins Dallam, a senior, attending the campus school, could: be the envy of a lot of people.

Dennis was born June 1, 1938 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. His parents are both teachers. When Dennis• was six years old, the family left Council Bluffs and traveled to the Pribilof Island in Alaska, where they were going to teach.

The natives of the island are the Aleute Indians.

The island is only twelve miles long and six miles wide. There are approximately four hundred natives living on the island and only thirty white families. Dennis entered school there at the age of six. Last year he enrolled in the Wentworth Military Academy of Lexington, Missouri. After b e in g graduated from high school, Dennis plans to work in Omaha during the summer months. Next fall he intends enter college.

CHRISTMAS IN SWEDEN (Continued from first page) teresting part of the rice course is the almond which is put in the porridge just before serving.

Whoever finds the almond in his or her portion is sure to be married within the year.

Now to the real festival, Christmas Eve, or J ulafton. Every gift. is well wrapped in paper and neatly sealed with red sealing wax. The donor writes the name of the one he is giving the package to and then a dedication in form of something about the gift or its uses. This is known as the Julklappan. The recipient is to guess from whom it comes. The family's Christmas gifts are placed in a basket by the tree, so no one can guess the contents.

Now the mother takes her place at the piano and the first Christmas carol is sung by all the family in unison. The father seated : by the tree, then reads the story of the birth of Christ from the .

Gospel, and afterwards, in a few short words, calls down the blessing of God of those present and the members of the family absent.

Then the gifts are passed out When this part is over, there is a great deal of thanking done on all sides, and all take part in singing another Christmas carol and afterwards join hands in a: ring and to music dance aroun the tree, thus ending one Christmas Eve's celebration.

McKenzie and Majors J. M. McKenzie had arrived in Peru five years before, and T. J. Majors was just back from the war. Both were_ to be instrumental in the placement of a Normal school in Peru.

McKenzie had started a seminary in Pawnee City and it was there that he met William Daily who became interested in establishing a similar institution at Peru.

This hitherto unpublished poem by the great Edwin Markham appears in the current edition of the Peru Stater, from which the Pedagogian received it.

This poem "The Never Old" was written about 1937 for Dr. and Mrs. James Crabtree, Peru '87.

Mrs. Crabtree, who died in October, painted a portrait of Markham which the poet said was the best ever done of him. In appreciation, Markham wrote "The Never Old" for the Crabtrees.

* * * HUMANITY. CONFUSION R. B. Moore, Peru State Teachers College This round room where humanity covers the walls, With high skylite, Is where a wilted rosebush laughs at the sun.

With curving walls, and sounds professing a door into infinity, Is where two beings wrapped in the mists of an ant's mansion, Breath a sigh.

Where men still read an unborn epic, From high soft chairs, As pigeons walk on wet streets in the light of lamps.- .

The sound of stars lulls not the human heart, And the transitional tail of death, Finds no remembrance in things past.

Smoke forced by inhaling beasts, Stretches and yawns in the lap of genius, Remembering the hands of man.

Alpha Mu Omega Met January 14

A sphinx walks on the waves, And through the broken columns on a hill, To find the true salvation of man.

The epitaph remains: Broken walls and torrid heat, My heart was pure, My understanding egotism.

Each hour we enter a new humanity, And in a remembered room, Take a seat.

Remembering, " A rusty angel wing, or the sound of stars, Move not the butterfly from the spider's web, And pigeons are a breed of dove.

Doane Tigers Nip Bobcats 83-77

by Dick Bibler

Despite their smooth playing, the Bobcats of Peru failed to stop the Doane Tigers in their second N.C.C. game of the season at Crete Saturday night. The contest ended with the Tigers on top 83-77.

Two "away" .games are on the Bobcats' agenda for the coming week-end. They meet Kearney Friday night and Hastings Saturday.

After the lead see-sawed during the early part of the game the Tigers spurted ahead, leading 4340 at the half. After the half, the Bobcats threatened only once, coming within one point, 69-70. rr'op scorer for the Bobcats was Bruce Smith, Coin, Iowa, junior, whose eight field goals and one charity netted him 17 points. Vyhralek, with seven field goals and 11 out of 12 free throws, paced the Tigers.

Peru State Teachers College understands this and has acted accordingly in organizing what is called intermural basketball and football teams. These teams enable \ every man in school to compete in the sport of his choice. There are twelve intermural basketball teams competing with each other.

Melvin and Holy at Meeting

Ninety Years Of Peru State

By David Longfellow As the enrollment increased, a code of conduct was evolved: the students would create new diversions, and the faculty would set 1 forth reasons why they should • not do it.

Some of the things required ·, ·: were: punctuality, respect f u 1 obedience to teachers, diligent employment of time, attendance at church, and declamations and compositions once every two weeks.

Dr. Keith Melvin, dean of the college and Dr. Russell Holy, head of the division of education of Peru State Teachers College, will take part in the ninth annu-. al convention of the American Association of Colleges for Teach-· er Education which will be held at the Morrison Hotel in Chicago, Febr. 14-16. The convention is expected to ·attract approximately 1,200 presidents, deans and · faculty members of colleges and universities from all parts of the nation.

The AACTE, a department of the National Education Associa-

Now According :to Emily Post Many of the students came from sparsely populated sections of country, and thus appeared rather reserved and awkward when faced by social events on the campus.

To ease this situation, the vari·ous teachers held gatherings where pains were taken· to make the students feel at home. Singing, recitations, readings, simple games in which all took part gave the students more ease, and taught them the courtesies expected of ladies and gentlemen.

Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie Peru did not offer many diversions in those days, and young swains were hard put to find 'table surroundings in which to rt their ladies fair. Usually y had to settle for shady paths ummer and hilarious bob-sled es in winter.

"I Raise a Point of Order!" .Possibly the only, at least the t important, societies of the ege were the two dealing in ebate and oratory. The Everett

tion, is the national voluntary organization of 318 colleges and universities which annually prepare approximately half the young people entering the teaching profession.

Theme for the meeting will be the same as the one adopted by the NEA for its centennial which will be observed this year-"An Educated People Moves Freedom Forward." Some of the nation's leading educators will develop this theme during the general sessions and in many zroup meetings which will be held during the three-day convention.

Mr. J. D. Levitt furnished the "hi-fi" music by the use of recordings. This provided a wide variety of music for dancing and listening.

The entertainment consisted of spot commercials, interviews, introductions, and a panel of celebrities. Phil Neuhalfen and Frank ~edersen were the disc jockeys on station U.R.E.P. During intermission the Home Economics Club sold cake and hot chocolate.

The student council paid for the decorations.

The chaperones were: Mr. J. D. Levitt, Mr. D. Carlile, and Miss Freda Rowaldt.

Election of the Valentine King, Queen, and attendants was held Wednesday, January 30.

Six Score Perfect Grades First Semester Literary Society was informal and drew the freshmen, while the Philomathean Society arose to such heights as dramatics and "The Merchant of Venice." It was rather amusing to see an ordained minister, the president, A. W. Norton, playing the part of "Shylock" to the extent of whetting a large butcher knife ...

Such was the social life of the students of Peru State in the early days. Stay tuned for next issue's exciting episode.

Nebraska's Finest College

Six Peru students racked up 4.0 grade averages-perfect-for the first semester.

The four pointers are: Bob Henry, Minneapolis, Kans., freshman; Marilyn Slagle, Falls City, junior; Roger Haigh, Peru, senior; Fran Larson, Peru, junior; Loren Dyke, Essex, Iowa, senior; and Nancy Taggart Winesman, Stella, senior.

Fourteen others received high marks of 3.7 or more, and 42 scored 3.2 through 3.69.

Peru State "Srnarties" Cited Honors Convocation Held The first semester "honors" convocation was held on Thursday, January 24, with Dr. Neal S. Gomon presiding.

COMING EVENTS

Ron's Briefs

By Ron McKinney

The semester exams are over, and everybody's falling back in his old routine. The card players are playing again, pool players are shooting snooker-everything is back to . normal.

Thursday, January 24, the dormitory council had a meeting, for the benefit cif .the new Delzell Hall members. Ken Sands, dormitory eeuncil member, spoke at the m€!eting. He read all of the rules and regulations to the men, and then he ended the meeting by ha:vlng the eleven new residents stand and introduce themselves: Mrs. Balkema was called back to her home in Iowa during midterm. It seems, her son-in-law accidentally cut off three fingers.

In her spare time, mom has decided to go back to school again.

She's taking a course in home ec.

The subjects she is taking are beginning sewing, and textile designing. This gives her a total of five hours credit.

Last Friday night, January 25, mom sponsored a fireside evening. Mrs. Balkema invited the girls from Eliza Morgan Hall to attend. Approximately sixteen attended the function. Later in ·the evening, marshmallows were roasted. The event started in the early evening and lasted until early morning.

Dean Scoggins, from Beatrice, Nebraska, entered Peru State this semester. Dean recently came from Germany, where he was stationed in the service. Before he entered the service, he attended this college two years and the University of Nebraska one year.

Special Services Or "Pants Pressed While You Waif' Within view are: two mimeograph machines, three typewriters, an addressing machine, a printing press, and an air conditioner. Also close at hand are sixty· filing drawers which contain names-hundreds and thousands of names.

This office is perhaps the strangest and one of the most valuable on the campus, for here is the place that the George of "let George do it" fame resides.

The sign on the door says, ''Department of Special Services; Alumni office, Campus tours, college press, news bureau, Peru Stater magazine, photography service, publications, student visitation," to which might be added: "Information bureau, art service, pants pressed while you wait."

The various cupboards contain:

The following events will take place on this campus during the next two weeks; Feb. 5-Peru Prep vs Johnson at Peru Feb. 6-Intra-Murals, 8:00 Feb. 7-Intra-Murals, 7:15 Feb. 8-Peru Prep vs Adams at Peru Feb. 8-Chadron at Chadron Feb. 11-Valentine Formal, 9-12.

Feb. 13-Intra-Murals, 8:00 Feb. 14-High School Junior Class Play Feb. 14-Convocation, 10:50 Feb. 15-Wayne at Peru Feb. 16-Kearney at Peru photographic supplies, typing paper, account pads, old press releases, new press releases, Peruvians, and propaganda leaflets to be dropped behind the iron curtain.

Here is the only place on the campus where people get paid for reading the newspaper, even if it is two weeks old. Here, also, is the only place on campus where Leland Sherwood, a talented artist, and an equally talented secretary Mary Lou Anderson, prints pictures.

One cozy nook features a coffee pot sharing a table with an enlarger, while a folding machine sits smugly in the background conversing with the heating controls.

Visitors flow freely in and out, some seeking information, and others inquiring if this is the president's office.

The department is the printer's devil that creates the programs for football; basketball, high school and college plays, choral clinics, band programs, etc., and infinitum.

It manufactures leaflets, pamphlets, bulletins, press releases, letterheads, maps, self-addressed envelopes, and propaganda.

This, then, is the Department of Special Services; "pants pressed while you wait." Through these doors pass one thousand reams of paper, and nearly ten times that number of people.

Peru Staters Entertain Elk Creek Students Elk Creek public schools held its annual Peru State assembly program on Wednesday, January 23. Representing Peru were Marilyn and Loren Dyke, vocalists; Dave Miller, cornetist; and Marilyn Slagle, pianist.

They were invited by the student council of Elk Creek high school. The program was arranged by the Special Services Department, in cooperation with the music department.

Shrub Snoops

By Lois Bush

Girls sat up until late at night after vacation catching up on the latest dirt and displaying Christmas loot and bragging about how much fun they had had New Year's Eve.--Some new romances had sprung up, some old ones had been broken up ...

And some old ones had been strengthened. Elberta Rhoten's third finger, left hand, is evidence of that. Her fiance is Jim Porter, a 1956 graduate of Peru State who is now teaching in Omaha.

It snowed. And that offered untold opportunities in the minds of vacation-happy Morgan Hall girls. A snowball fight, en masse, developed on the front lawn. For a while Chris Kolbo got the rough end of the deal; for when she was in the process of making an "angel", the whole group descended upon her, and snow flew furiously. Tiring of this, the gang decided to try a new game-and the unfortunate few who ventured outside on their way home from the cafeteria found themselves attacked from all sides.

Things went fine until the fellows started to fight back.

Gnomes or something must have been hard at work in the dorm. Lorraine and Shrub arrived home one afternoont to find their beds standing on end and "sh or t-mattressed" (new word thought· up for the occasion.) Then mysteriously, a few days later, Gail and DeAnna and Pa~,line found Grape-Nuts and RaiSiin-Bran in their beds. Vengeance?

Two red easy chairs and one yellow one disappeared mysteriously from the rec. room the week of final exams. Girls had discovered the advantages that the chairs offered for comfortable studying while burning the midnight oil. What a pity they had to go back downstairs again after semester break. They kinda added a "homey" atmosphere to the rooms.

Semester break resulted in several switchings of roommates and changes of rooms and floors. Confusing at first, things have finally shifted back into normal.

Because of transfers, Morgan Hall lost some of its· residents at the semester.· Pat Kelly, June Hauptman, Chris Kolbo, Betsy Har.tman, Josie Crouch, Pat Beedle, Marilyn Diedrichs, jean Thimgan, and Maxine Zimmerman all left to seek greener pastures.

New girls in the dorm are Charlene Kol er, Donna, Jones, Marie Antalek, Sharon Peterson, and Donna Orton. These girls won't learn until the end of the year the horror of Peru's final exams. Back to routine ... Oh, profanity!

Lorenzo Concert Pleases Audience The 21 year old pianist, Phillip Lorenz, performed at the Auditorium of the Peru State Teachers College,. Tuesday, Jan. 29.

Mr. Lorenz has appeared on the concert stage in Europe, the Car~ ribean area, ·and sections of the United States. He was received very enthusiastically by the audience here as he was all .over the world.

He played compositions by Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and many others. The mood of each selection was captured by the performer and transmitted to the audience through his personal interpretation. This young musician displayed great musical ability during this performance.

The last dance was held January 4 at the campus school.

In recent years the faculty members of the college had the pleasure of belonging to the Faculty Square Dance Club. This privilege has been extended by invitation to some of the townspeople of Peru, and the club is now named the Peru Square Dance Club.

Varied Responses · New semester, new student teachers: Miss Wonderly has pretty little Jean Ruyle, who also picks up her mail at noon, a nice gesture. When student teachers get to high school, the response from the pupils is different. With fiendish glee 10th grader Rae Ann says, "You mean we are going to have Shorty for a student teacher in English?"

Poetic Description This last week inspired first grader Jimmy G. to describe the weather "It's shivering outside!'

Language a Reward High school principal Van Pelt is now offering a foreign language more or less (depends on how you look at it) as a reward for a B grade average or better.

The first class met Monday, January 28, with an enrollment of approximately 10 smarties.

Little sister Jeannie exclaimed "0 great! Now Rae Ann can read what my French newspaper print dress says."

Hillbilly Talk and Play From hints left casually (?) around, I gather that the eighth grade is still in process of preparing two hillbilly plays for the public sometime in March. Unknowingly I reprimanded Bob for the way he was saying his words and was scorched with "that's the way I talk in the plays and I've got to practice." (Will he ever lose it? Worries me.)

P.SlC. Enrolls

Wednesday, January 23 Rockport High played the Peru Bobkittens, at the P.S.T.C. gym.

Rockport lost the ball game by a close score of 45 to 43. At the end of the first quarter, the Bolikittens led 11 to 8.

At the half, Rockport pulled ahead to make the score 24 to 17.

Rockport led the Bobkittens at the end of the third quarter 30 to 28. At the end of the regular game the scoreboard was 39 "all." In the over-time, the Bobkittens scored six points, and Rockport scored four points.

In the last ten seconds of the game, the "kittens" trailed two points, but Ron Brock made two free throws to win the game· for the Bobkittens. Marshall Adams and Jerry Henning were the high point men of the game. Adams made a total of fifteen points, and Henning made fourteen points.

The starters for the game were: Jerry Pattersen, Jim Bolken, Jerry Hennings, Rex Rain, ,Marshall Adams, and Ron Brock.

Jerry Patterson with 12 points and Ron Brock with 10 were the scoring leaders for the Bobkittens.

An unorthodox fact showed Peru Prep hitting 69% of their shots; while, the wi.nn_ing Cardinals hit an average of only 53%.

New Jersey Girl Monday night, January 14, a welcoming party left Peru to go to Auburn to welcome a new student who started school here this semester.

This new student is Marie Antalek from Newark, New Jersey.

Miss Antalek was born in Coonwell, a small town on the Hudson .River in up-state New York. Aft-· er leaving Coonwell, Marie finished her schooling in New Jersey, where she was graduated f~bm Central High School in Nfiwark, New Jersey, in 1956.

According to Miss Antalek, she received many books and posters from many schools but picked Peru College because of the many advantages over other schools.

Miss Antalek is nineteen years old and comes from a family of four girls and two boys.

Marie says, "Peru surely is small compared with some of the large cities that I have lived in."

Marie Antalek says she thinks she will like Peru very much.

Being interested in all sports and especially in athletics for women, Marie will be majoring in physical education and minoring . in science and health.

Let's be 'friendly to this new student who is a long way from home and make her really believe that she made no mi$take picking P.S.T.C. for her school.

tiOns· are in order-, and i made a few myself; they were suggested by various faculty members. I did make one resolution: I promise not to spend much money this year. That's rather like telling Mother Hubbard to keep her cupboard clean.

The thought for this month: It is better to give than receiveespecially report cards.

Actually, college is great, even considering tests. My Uncle Fenwick Sturdley used to say that college puts a person in the upper class. I don't know why he said that because it never put him beyond the freshman class.

I see by the scandal sheets that the Beef State is low on greenbacks for the wisdom-vending institutions. The outcome of this situation will probably be an increase in tuition. Maybe it isn't possible to get blood from a turnip, but it looks as if someone is going to try.

Jack Mcintire's Peru State College Bobcats, back from the westward week-end trek to Chadron State where they won one and lost one on the Eagle maples, this week-end will be at home to first and second place N.C.C. teams.

The week-end doubleheader against the Chadron State Eagles yielded a 71-59 victory and a 6472 defeat. The Friday night fray saw the Eagles take an early lead and keeping it with 13:22 remaining in the first half. Falls City's Doug Gibson, with 14 points, lead the Bobcats the first night.

So, all you potential trackmen get out and answer the call. Stemper (under pressure) went on to relate that his strong events this season should be in the hurdles and weights.

The girls participate in volleyball while, golf and track are getting organized. Yes, sports activities at the campus of a thousand oaks are diversified. Yet, some individualists remain in the same old routine.

By the way, we hate to admit the fact, but the Campus Outlaws are still on top in the intramural circuit.

The Blue and White jumped off to seven point lead before the Warriors scored. From then on, there was an exchange of baskets.

Terry roady, the Johnson workhorse, "stifled" Peru Prep with 33 points. Broady, coupled with his team mates rebounding spelled defeat for the Peru Prep five.

The slow starting Bobkittens trailed by 13 points at the end of the first quarter. Then, Peru Prep matched scoring with Johnson throughout the game. Marshall Adams with 17 points, and Ron Brock with 16 points were the Bobkittens top scorers ..

With Johnson's height advantage, Peru Prep had to shoot from outside the key; the Bobkittens did a remarkable job of hitting from out-front to keep even point-wise through the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters. Bruce Eddy of Peru Prep was a miniature spark plug and crowd pleaser as he sunk long shots and continually "battled" the Johnson height.

The Peru Prep seconds took a consolation win over the Johnson B team 24-16.

Vassar. Girls Study 47 Hours Per Week ..... Do You? Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-(I.P.)Tentative results of the campus time survey conducted last year

by Vassar College, according to a report by Dean Marian Tait, reveal that the median number of hours spent on academic work per week is 47 per student, compared with 38 hours in the 1925 survey and 42 in 1939-40.

The faculty and student curriculum committees are pleased with _this indication, Dean Tait disclosed, since, strictly speaking,

by Chon Day

The Travelers Safety Service

"Exciting little chase, wasn't it?"

3 hours a week is expected for every credit point, so that an average of 45 hours might be expected for a typical 15-point program. Surveys tabulated numbered 977-representing 69% of the student body.

The 1925 and 1939-40 figures were as expected by the college.

Dean Tait feels that work at Vassar is perhaps harder now than in earlier years; there were no comprehensives o t· --extensive theses until approximately 1937.

The average credit ratio of those ~mswering was 2.6 for sophomores _and juniors and 2.8 for seniors.

Freshman women, according to the survey, spend 46 hours a week on academic work; ~opho­ mores and juniors, 48; and seniors, 45. The median of hours spent for each credit point is 2.9 compared with 2.4 in 1925 and 2.8 in 1939-40. Time spent in the business of living averaged 20 hours a week, with sophomores and juniors slightly exceeding this figure ... 2.76 hours, median, are given to extra-curricular activities. Relaxation, on the average, consumes 21 hours a week.

Barring some material unable to be tabulated, since directions were not explicit enough to produce uniform explanation of hours spent in such categories as sleep and time away from college, all· answers will be helpful, according to Dean Tait, in Vassar's current self-examination.

Answers seemed to represent a "good, s o 1i d , representative group."

The faculty curriculum committee feels that there is a definited "disparity" in the number of hours spent on various courses nc~w receiving the same credit va1)1e. Vassar's point system, particularly four-point courses, should be re-examined, the committee feels. It will continue its study this fall aiming at a better "curricular-balance."

Highway Menace, Insurance Risk -Are You One? "Single, male, under-25; possesses automobile driving license," is a damning statistical bracket, for in it is the "worst menace you can encounter on street or highway ... the nation's most dangerous drivers," reports the January issue of Popular Science Monthly.

Only a small percentage of the young men in this bracket can be called "problem drivers," but they swell the accident record for their classes; they cause insurance rates to climb; and they give the category, as a whole, its alarmingly black reputation. · The basis for this reputation?

Popular Science (quoting the Na.tional Safety Council and Iowa State's Driving Research laboratory) says: "Only 15 percent of U. S. drivers are under 25 years old ... but this group is involved in 27 percent of fatal accidents."

Driver research laboratories and safety officials are studying means of combating this problem. And they're achieving results. But the insurance companies aren't idle eith.er. At the present time, in most regions, cars owned or operated principally by a young man carry an insurance rate at least double that of the family car driven by the older folk. Even so, says Popular Science, "The National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters is campaigning to boost this to triple the older drivers' rate."

But the worst condemnation of the "young problem driver" appears not in the stark statistics, but in the following statement (made to a Popular Science writer by an insurance executive):

Campbell Film and Talk Toda William Campbell, author, educator and world-traveler, will appear at Peru State Teachers College Monday, February 18, in a combination film and lecture appearance. The Budget Event is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. in the college auditorium.

The feature-length documentary color film on Inda-China was photographed by Dr. Campbell in 1955 luring his most recent trip to this important area.

All three states of Indo-ChinaVietnam, Cambodia, Laos-will be covered in the film-lecture. It will include: the story of the one million refugees fleeing Communist controlled· North Vietnam; private audiences with Norodom Sihanouk, young, handsome and energetic king of Cambodia; an especially arranged

presentation of the Royal Dancers of Laos, .and the story of the Buddhist Bronzes, temple life1 High Pali School, and ceremonial cremations, to mention but a few~ of the features.

Dr. Campbell, whose experiences have been in both the United States and abroad, has been granted a Peabody Fellowship, and has won the Academy Award for the best radio broadcast of the year for his talk on the war in China.

A gifted and experienced ora· tor, he has a pleasant voice man_. ner, combined with a thorough knowledge of his field. He speaks in person as he shows his film.

This technique gives an authentic touch which is all the more· appreciated when h e answers audience questions on the spot.

"You can't refuse a man insurance just because he's single and under 25, but we'd sure like to."

when a male visitor jokingly set the clock for 2:00 a.m., Miss Lee said.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY WOMEN MANAGE THEIR OWN DORMITORY Boston, Mass. (I.P.)-An experiment in group living whereby an undergraduate women's residence at Boston University is governed without University rules was begun this year at 531 Beacon Street and is proving "highly successful," according to Dean of Women Elsbeth Melville.

At informal monthly meetings, the 30 girls set the evening hours they will return to the house, discuss problems which occur in group living, and plan house activities. The result of the experiment thus far "is a sense of loyalty ... that could never be as outstanding in a larger dorm," declares Nancy J. Lee, president of "531."

To provide for the safety of the "last girl in" at night, the residents have devised a plan centered around an alarm clock.

Miss Lee explained the system as follows: When signing out for the evening, each girl states the time she expects to return. The second, to-last returning gir1 sets an alarm clock outside her door for 15 minutes after the "last girl" is expected. Upon. returning, the "last girl" turns off the alarm. If she doesn't return when expected the. alarm will rouse the residents.

The lone incident when the alarm ·h a s sounded occurred

The group, composed of eight seniors, 16 juniors, and six sophomores, set a general hour rule of midnight d11r<ing week nights and 2 a.m. orl we~-ends, Mis.s Lee said .. There is n·o limit to the" number of "overnights" a girl may take, she added. "Group pressures an~d.. .)il,llanimous agree-· ment are t . ·main governing forces." ·' .

In praising the residents' conduct, Dean Melville said, ."When you place persons on their honor, they seem to exceed what is expected of them." Residents of the "honor house" were selected last spring for their "maturity of judgment" and "sense of responsibility," Dean Melville said. The girls were· recommended by Miss June Holmes, former head of Charlesgate hall, and approved

by Dea_n Melville..

Residents eat at Charlesgate but have their' own kitchenette for snacks and informal parties.

Under their own rules, male visitors are allowed only in the living room and are expected to leave about midnight. The University acquired the building last year for graduate students.

The "honor house" idea was proposed by Dean Melville.

The following was taken from the South Dakota Collegian: "Work hard, stay home every night and study, don't carouse, go home every week-end, and you're sure to have a dull year."

This is Dakota humor: "Always keep this in mind. Rome wasn't built in a day-and some women never are."

Grindle Speaks Mr. Grindle was the guest speaker Thursday, February 14, at the Talmage P.T.A. meeting.

The topic was ".Trends in Public School Music."

Pedagogian Staff Visits World-Herald The Pedagogian staff received a cordial welcome when it toured the Omaha World-Herald plant on the afternoon of February 7th.

A guide took the st u d en t s through the entire plant.

Starting with the editorial room, where all writing and editing is done, the guide took the students through the entire plant.

The students were then taken to a comfortable conference room, where the promotion manager answered questions for -more than an hour before calling in the city editor-an extremely busy man-who gave thirty minutes of his time to answering questions and explaining the workings of a big town newspaper staff.

Then came a tour of the art department and the photography room, followed by a visit to the advertising department.

Staff members present were: David Longfellow, Bill Kochheim, Ruth Linscheid, Donna Gaer, Lois Bush, Jerry Collier, Ron McKinney, and Hal Norris: They were accompanied by J. D. Levitt, Peruvian sponsor, and

Bell Has Chickens In Its History When Peru State first started, the principal purchased a small potmetal bell, that cost only three dollars. When the cold weather began, the bell broke. This bell had been doing' the school important service, and a sense of great lack was felt by all students. The students decided to purchase a new bell of good ma· terial.

To aid the enterprise, the ladies proposed a chicken supper.

The men seconded the motion and got the chickens and dressed them. The ladies cooked the chickens, and prepared a deliciou supper. On the evening of the supper, people came from all around. Brownville, then a thriving city, showed its good will. A large delegation of its citiz~ns were present and the school had a very pleasant and successful social time, resulting in sixtyfive dollars in the bell fund.

P e r s o n a 1 subscriptions increased this fund to a hundred and twenty-five dollars, which completed the amount needed for the bell.

This bell, bought in 1867, is located on top of the gymnasium today.

by Mr. and Mrs. Al Winseman in English 12 on an English literature unit. Plans are being presented by the supervisor for work to cover approximately eight weeks.

This survey is an intensive personal investigation of influential writers, useful practice in taking and using notes, wr_iting a research paper, organiz]ng and presenting oral reports, and finding real pleasure in the classics.

Sentence Structure Mrs. Schlange, in English 10, is conducting a practice and drill period on basal parts of sentences and correct usage of verbs. For February, Mr. Sherwood, an art student, arranged the bulletin board with a display of Lincoln and Longfellow silhouettes and poetry. Mrs. Schlange brought in pictures with the theme of "Winter Magic." She also added to the attractiveness of the room by placing a plant on the instructor's desk.

June in January ~ . In Greenhouse One of the oldest and most interesting buildings on the campus is the greenhouse, built in the 1890's. During the earlier period of education, nature study was a basic requirement for teachers.

Since the requirements have changed, many students haven't had the opportunity of knowing about the fascinating plants in the greenhouse.

The Bougainville vine that grows under the roof of the building, practically all year, is very attractive. The vine is pink and lavender. In California, people use it for decoration. Another interesting vine is Moses-In-theBull-Rush.· It is named for its flower which is shaped like a cradle.

Banana There are various tropical plants in the greenhouse. One of the most interesting is the banana tree. The banana tree is forty years old and bears fruit every three years.

Many More These are just four of the outstanding plants in the greenhouse. There are hundreds of rare plants which are of interest.

Fur Tree The Cycad, dated back to the Mesozoic ·period, is a tropical fur tree. It's trunk is similar to a pineapple and the top to a palm.

The Cycad's age is told from leaf scars on it's trunk. It is sixty years old and stands three feet high.

"The Dean" was gone from the campus of P.S.T.C. Funeral services for W. N. Delzell were held at the Baptist church, June 22, 1940, and interment was in Mount Vernon cemetery, overlooking the college where he had worked for thirty-five years.

Mr. Delzell was born in Carrol

County, Indiana. He came as a boy of thirteen to Nebraska. After attending _ii.usiness college in Omaha, he n'l.ove~with his family to Peru, where he entered the school that was his "home" for half his life, for in 1905 he became instructor -in ~athematics. From 1909-1918, ~vanced to head of the ccilflmerce department, then to vice president in 1918, and to executive dean in 1921. As dean emeritus, he retired from active service in 1938.

Dean Delzell was Peru to man students. A broad smile, a warm handclasp and a friendly greet ing-this was the Dean as stu· dents knew him on the campu then, almost seventeen years ago On Thursday, November 3 1938, construction was started o a new residence hall for men. 0 November 14, 1939, the new do was complete. But one thing was missing, a name for the new hall.

On January 13, 1942, the Peda gogian asked that the men's dorm be named Delzell Hall.

The request was granted- and that's how Delzell Hall got it name.

Ninety Years Of Peru State

By Dave Longfellow A recent J. Hyde Sweet editorial in the Nebraska City NewsPress was devoted to Peru State and its role as Nebraska's leading college. The column was also devoted to T. J. Majors, one of the most influential men in the founding an'd developing of Peru State ...

Thomas Jefferson. Majors looms as 'the most interesting character in inany years. He was a merchant, soldier, Indian fighter, farmer, and politician.

At 18 he was on his way to the Pike's Peak gold rush when news came that it was no good. While visiting his uncle, Alexander Majors of Russell, Majors and Waddell fame, he decided to set up a store in Peru. · After two years of merchandising, he enlisted in the 1st Nebraska Infantry, and soon rose to command of that group. Although he participated in such bloody battles as Shiloh, his only wounds came when he disciplined various individuals for their waywardness.

One fellow stole his saddle and an irate Majors went looking for him. The battle ended with Majors on top, biting the man's nose and attempting to extricate his thumb from the thief's teeth.

Wils Majors, Colonel Tom's brother, came upon the scene and demanded, "Who did that?"

Unable to find out, he turned and swung on the first man he saw, a big six-footer, breaking the fellow's nose.

The man got up and asked, justifiably, "Why did you do that?" Wils said, "You were talking about my brother."

"I never mentioned your brother."

"I'm sorry," said Wils, ending the fight.

The 1st Nebraska became a cavalry outfit and was assigned to protect the settlers on the Republican River from marauding Indians. One friendly tribe invited him to an Indian love feast where roast dog was the main course.

The Bruning spikers who upset Burr at the 1956 Peru Invitational Volley Ball Tournament are gone, but their successors will return this year to defend their crown as will vengeful Burr . . •

Records Fall When 42 Tearns Enter Tourney A rec6rd number of teams have entered the Peru State College High School Girls Invitational Volley Ball Tournament scheduled for March 11-12~13, according to tournament director Phyllis Davidson, director of women's physical education at Peru State.

Forty-two teams-ten m ore than competed ·in tourneys in i954 and 1956-will compete in the eleventh annual event. ._.Majority of the schools entered· are from the Southeast Nebraska area. One team, however, will come from Broadwater, a distance of more than 400 miles.

Other teams from a distance will be Bruning, Chester and Mascot via Oxford.

Russell to Conduct At Band Clinic

Myron E. Russell, professor of woodwind instruments and head of the Department of Music at Iowa State Teachers College, will be the guest conductor at the Band Clinic, March 23.

He is well known for his expert direction of the College Band and the Woodwind Trio.

He has established an excellent "When the dog meat was pre- reputation as an instructor of en. pared, the medicine men did semble and woodwind, and as a their incantations, and a nice critic judge. juicy chunk of meat was carved Mr. Russell is the President of for the guest of honor.

A patrol he was leading sighted a band of unfriendlies, and the Colonel sent for the four troops of cavalry under his command.

They heard that Indians feared a direct attack from the "bluecoats," so he led the patrol down upon them. The Indians did not run and the attackers were forced to hide behind their horses. A "Lone Ranger" rescue saved them from the scalping knives.

In the next issue T. J. Majors leaves the army and goes to the state capitol as a political power in Nebraska. *Hauptman, Leo, Colonel T. J, Majors: A. Memoir, 1933.

The Goodwill representative will be in Falls City on or about March 7, 1957 to pick up the donations given by the housewives of the community.

These contributions of discarded clothing, shoes, appliances and small furniture furnish the materials needed to provide jobs for the physically handicapped men and women employed at Goodwill Industries. Mr. Le 1and Whipp, executive secretary, said, "168 handicapped persons from eastern Nebraska are now employed at Nebraska Goodwill Industries and are earning wages.

To keep these worthy people employed and self-supporting, your discards are absolutely necessary."

Robert has had an outstanding undergraduate career here, having been an excellent student, a leading Nebraska debater, and Peru representative in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

Robert will begin his graduate work at the University of Arkansas in September.

Editorial . . .

Are we true college students? Since we are going to be future teachers of this country, do we conduct ourselves as such? Evidently not! Some of the high school students have been talking about manners in the cafeteria. How are yours and mine? _Some of the high school students have mentioned the fact that there should be family style meals. That would be wonderful. There would be more servings; manners and the type of conversation would naturally improve with a boygirl seating arrangement. However, do you realize that we would have a: set time to eat. Also, certain types of food are more easily prepared for family style-therefore repetition of food.

We must admit that the high schoolers are indeed correct with their opinion of one thing. Have you noted the dress of the students for evening meals? Next time; please look at all of the jeans, T-shirts, and pedal pushers. This doesn't seem serious to you and me. We know one another.

But how does this reflect on the minds of the high school students?- They look at us to set examples for them. Do we?

Nowthe next phase of rationalization would be that slacks cost too much. Sure and we must have them cleaned too!

But if you made one less trip to Auburn a week, that would make up the difference. Don't forget, you will need slacks when-you start teaching. We hope you won't teach in jeans.

Girls, we all know you have skirts. I'm sure they are more appropriate dining hall garb than jeans. Please don't take my Word either. Just note the attire of the students at the other colleges and universities. uuuu11111111111111111u1111111111111u11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111u11nu111111111111111111u11111111111111u1111111111uu111111

Peru Breezes Past Concordia

By Score of 71-50 Peru State breezed past Concordia 71-50 on February 22, and added another win to the Bobcats' record, which now numbers nine wins and 17 loses.

Peru had trouble hitting the basket during the first half of the game. But with six minutes left, Peru began to "perk" up by closing the gap at the half with Concordia in front 33-32.

Peru's Bobcats commanded the second half in taking over the lead 45-35. After this flurry of buckets by the Bobcats, the Concordia five n e v er threatened again. Concordia being behind in the closing minutes of the game, began to foul.

INDO-CHINA FILM WAS BUDGET EVENT A budget event was held on the evening of February 4th, at 8:00 P.M., in the college auditorium. Dr. Campbell, a retired professor, presented a film on the territory which used to be called In do-China.

This film covered the three states of Indo-China-Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. It showed how these people really live. This film was completed in 1955, and we know there have not been many changes in the lives of these primitive people in the past year.

As the film was being presented, Dr.. Campbell narrated it to help the audience understand the purpose of his expedition. These people have been so uninfluenced by the ways of our modern day world that it is almost impossible to believe.

Bobkittens Scare Syracuse On Thursday, February 20th, in the final home game for the Peru Prep Bobkittens, the Syracuse Rockets eked out a 49 to 44 basketball victory.

Nannen and Morrissey, the Syracuse sparkplugs with 11 and 12 points, respectively, jumped the Rockets off to a shotgun start which enabled Syracuse to hold a commanding 31-lg lead over the Bobkittens at the'close of the first half.

Again, Peru Prep had to rely upon their outshooting to keep them in the ball game. After the first half, the contest had all the symptoms of a basketball rout.

But Peru Prep applied the pressure in the third quarter by. outscoring Syracuse and went on to chalk up 14 points to the Rocket's six during the final quarter.

During these closing minutes, the tension was on the Syracuse Rockets as the Bobkittens gave them a good scare but fell short by five points.

Peru Prep hit for a total of 70%; while Syracuse hit 53% of their .shots.

The Syracuse seconds made it a clean sweep by defeating the Peru Prep seconds.

Ninety Years Peru Choir Sings at MENC Meet Of Peru State

By David Longfellow Over dinner one evening, T. J. Majors told his host, J. Sterling Morton, "I have a cousin out here who has but one fault."

"Well," replied Morton, "What's that?"

"He's a Democrat," said Majors, and went on to secure a post for the cousin. T. J. Majors was a Republican for his entire political life ...

When he returned from the Civil War, Majors had an estate of 800 acres, and was ranking officer in the region. The land made him financially independent, and he became a well-known and respected man in Nemaha county.

It is not strange, then, that he was nominated and elected to the last territorial legislature before Nebraska became a state.

Majors was re-elected in 1867, and was influential in moving the state capitol from Omaha to Lincoln. He visited one stormy session of the House, and was stand. ing beside the Speaker when an angry mob rushed in, brandishing their bottles.

"What should I do?" appealed the man to Majors.

"Shoot the first man that tries to interfere with you," advised Colonel Tom. "But I have nothing to shoot with," objected the Speaker.

Majors, never one to be caught unprepared, gave him one of the two guns he had recently purchased. The meeting was finally adjourned without blood-shed.

Even when he was not serving in some political capacity, the legislators saw Majors every two years, and when he would enter the legislative chambers, someone would remark, "Well, what does Peru want now, T. J.?"

First and foremost, T. J. Majors was for Peru and the Normal School he had gotten for the town. In the first years of the state's and the school's existence, he blocked the establishment of other normal schools in order that Peru would have a chance to set firm roots and become permanent.

Originally, Majors sought the state university for Peru, but other powers convinced him that ·the larger 'institution should be located near the state capitol at Lincoln. Instead, Peru received the consolation prize of a state normal school. It was Majors who · later introduced the bill that made Peru a state college.

There are a number of legends about Majors' reaction to the normal school suggestion, but the most plausible seems to be the purported conversatiqn between William Daily and Colonel Tom: "What is a 'normal school,' . Tom?" asked Daily.

"Damned if I know," replied the Colonel, "But if it has anything to do with education, I want it."

Majors, himself, spent one year in the school, and commented, "That year did much more good for me than any other schooling."

During many of the years of his public life, he served a lot of time on the State Normal Board, and was invariably chairman of that body. It was through his influence that Peru gained the best set of buildings of any normal hool in the state.

Thomas Jefferson M a j o r s ssed away on Monday, July 11,

Twelve members of the Peru State College Choir appeared in a Nebraska-Iowa Collegiate Choir before the North Central Meeting of the Music Educators National Conference in Omaha March 17.

The group joined members of college choirs from Nebraska and Iowa in rehearsals on M!lrch 1617 at Omaha University under the direction of Conductor Maurice Gerow of the University of California at Los Angeles music department.

The March 17 program included the presentation of "Sacred

Service" by Ernest Bloch in the Omaha Civic Auditorium Music Hall by the choir as a part of the music convention.

Choir members from Peru State participating included: Betty Taenzler, Omaha; Harriett Parkison, Riverton, Iowa; Judi Cole, Nebraska City; Joyce Carman, Cook; Mary Riley, Dawson; Franci Stilwell, Palmyra; Don Gibson, Auburn; Jim Ackerman, Fremont; Don Noah; Richard Fankhouser, Humboldt; Marvin Wuster, Dawson; Julius Mueller, Omaha.

Blue Devils Strut For Crowd

Thirty Schools In Band Concert Here March 23rd

An outstanding display of skill was exhibited by the Blue Devils Friday evening, March 1, during the half time period of the varsity game.

The Commandos strutted on the playing floor attired in everything from long red underwear to short red tights. Each wore one boxing glove.

The referees blew their, whistles and the feud began. As soon as one player would get the ball, the opposing side would turn the boxing gloves oh him full force.

A minor distraction from the game were the three lucious cheerleaders. They had numerous talents, not to mention their gorgeous physiques? ? ? ? ! 'fhey led the crowd in several chav.ts, and then graceful "Miss" Mi1ler turned some flips with the aid of "Miss" Krumme. They displayed unusual style.

The bloody game raged on, and when at last the buzzer sounded, the Commandos gladly crawled off the floor.

Peru Repays Wesleyan Several students, representing Peru, traveled to Wesleyan on Thursday, March 7, to repay an exchange convocation.

Bob Norton, president of the Peru Student Senate, introduced emcees Phil! Neuhalfen and Phil Fahrlander, who gave a lively performance.

The program featured three vocalists: Marv Wuster, who sang "One Alone," and "Song of the Open Road"; Mary Riley, who sang "Madam Butterfly," and "With a Song In My Heart"; and Jim Ackerman, who sang "Come Back to Sorrento," and "Martha."

They were accompanied by Charlene Kolar.

Marilyn Slagle played two piano solos: "Blue Moon," and "Vountain of Aqua Peola."

The group which was under the sponsorship of Miss Alma Ashley, were guests of the Wesleyan student governing body at lunch;

1932, but he lived to see his school as one of the permanent fixtures on the Nebraska landscape, and hear the praises of it sung everywhere.

These articles on T. J. Majors were based on Colonel T. J. Majors: A Memoir, by Leo Morgan Hauptman. There is no publisher as the manusci;ipt is typewritten.

It is available in the College Library.

Bobcats Lose lh Overtime With Hastings The Peru Bobcats were tipped in an overtime in their final game this season against Hastings 84-75, March 1, in Peru gym.

This was the final game for Bob Norton, Bob Kramer, and Frank Davis, who were tri-captains of the game. Bob Norton paced the Bobcats on offense and defense. Bob led his teammates with scoring honors by chalking up 21 points and some outstanding defensive plays.

In the initial quarter, the McIntiremen hustled for shots and rebounds which matched the Hastings five in points and fight.

During the second quarter, the Bobcats defense "baffled" the boys from Hastings. Peru State was leading at half time 38-28.

Peru started the second half with a cold streak. Both teams battled until they clung to a 66 deadlock in the last minute of the game. Then Tom Osborne of Hastings received two ·free throws, but sunk only one. With Norton's foul on the rebound, another Hastings free throw was made. Smitty then was fouled but missed his free throws.

Peru got the ball with six seconds left in the game with the score 67-66 favor of Hastings.

Peru took time out to figure how to make the last bask'et to win the game.

The ball was thrown in to Witt, who shot and missed, then a follow shot by Kramer was no good, but Smitty scored with a tip in as the clock ran out.

The game went into a five minute overtime. Peru scored the first two points, but Hastings scored 11 points before Peru scored. The Bobcats' fire died

by Douglas; and Verdon downed Panama. All four of these teams were assured their earned trophies. In the consolation game between Panama and Burr, Panama took a surprise easy victory over the Burr volley ballers.

In that final encounter, Douglas and Verdon battled in a seesaw contest which allowed both teams to visualize a victory at one point or another. With four minutes remaining, Douglas held a substantial four point lead.

Verdon dwindled this Douglas lead to "one" point, as the game ended with the ball in control of Verdon's server. The spectator yells subsided as everyone remained seated for the trophy presentations.

Dean Keith Melvin addressed the crowd and presented the trophies: first trophy to Douglas, second to Verdon, third to Panama, and fourth to Burr. The sen-. iors from each team stepped forward to receive their well earned awards.

Phyllis Davidson's physical education department and referees Stemper-Johnson should be commended for a highly successful volley ball tournament.

Another aspect of s t u d e n t teaching (or modern school organization): Mrs. Christ, 6th grade supervisor, has six student teachers, one for each subject.

The trip, headed by Hazel Weare, was reported a huge success.

Before entering Omaha, th~ organization stopped at the Ludwig Boat Company in Bellevue.

Miss Weare reported this to be a most interesting stop. As this concern is one of the most progressive enterprises in the state, Miss Weare thought this to be very helpful to the business students.

Mcintire Signs Wilt Chamberlain For '58 Campaign

Student master of ceremonies, Doug Gibson, sputtered out the events of the evening. First, on the program was Marv Wuster who sang parodies of Blue· Devil fight songs. Next, Chuck Krumme and Yvonne Funkhouser gave a hat trick involving five British-type beanies. With the crowd in an uproar, Gib quieted them with the announcement that the Shady Sisters would sing "Can I Play Tonight, Al?" and "Say, Sid, Throw Me the Ball." Jim Rosenquist, Ray Ehlers, and Henry Hart acted as the Shady Sisters.

Finally, the guest speaker, Dave Brubeck, was introduced by shouting Sid Brown. Dave Brubeck was an outstanding athlete until his music made him a millionaire. Brubeck spoke on Music-Wine-Sports and Co-eds.

He stated you cannot mix these four and still play good ball on Saturday.

The unique part of the sports banquet allowed not one Peru coach to speak. This banquet enabled the Peru coaches to sit back and enjoy the festivities.

Coach Jack Mcintire got the word that Wilt "Stilt" Chamberlain has signed a sports scholarship with Peru. Coach has been working on "Stilt" to come to Peru ever since Coach saw him cut his eye teeth.

Mr. Mcintire went to Wilt's mother as chemical reaction. McIntire offered Wilt and his folks a new Cadillac every year to make sure Wilt comes to Peru, Coach made sure Wilt will have no money or publicity troubles.

"Fog" Allen offered only a new car to Wilt, his sophomore and senior year and a good time at Kansas University.

Wilt Chamberlain says he will like Peru because he will not have far to walk to classes,· and he will know more kids on the campus. Another reason why Wilt said he liked it here is because one of the Bobcats told him no one in this conference would block his shots or step on his . stubby feet. Wilt said he doesn't know that he will make the first string right off, but he thinks his height will get him on since Peru is hunting for tall boys.

The banquet ended with the entire group standing to sing "In the Foothills of Old Peru" to the rhythm of Brubeck's foot stomping. Brubeck's Peru date was Cynthia Hathaway, the ugliest girl at Mt. Vernon Hall.

The faculty unanimously, dorsed more banquets of type. Dave Brubeck was from football receipts; so, of Peru's budget finances utilized.

THE OPPONENT

Cats Salt Celts Peru Bobcats won easily over Boston Celtics 110-98 in an exhibition in Madison Square Garden on April 1. Peru holds on to its wrnning streak of 3{)0 games.

When Peru took the floor, all the spectators stood up and cheered them on to victory. This was the best team in history of all college basketball teams.

The game started with Peru taking an early lead. Bob Cousy was having a tough time playing.

Cousy was covered by Ron Witt, the Bobcats specialist eye poker.

Cousy, to save his eyes, wore goggles but they obstructed his view.

Bruce Smith of the Bobcats for the first time' found a center taller than he. Bill Russell, center, stood 6 ft. 10 in. and Bruce, center, stood 6 ft. lOl/s inches the day of the game because he thought height was needed, to help win the game.

Jack Mcintire was very displeased because Boston had nobody to hold "Hoot" Gibson down. Coach says he would like tougher and rougher competition because he wants his boys to improve and have more respect for their elders.

W.C.P.U. Sponsors Peru Blue Devils The Blue Devils will be sponsored next year by a chapter of the W.C.P.U..

The organization felt a need for a strong support for their club and believe the W.C.P.U. will greatly benefit them.

The W.C.P.U. has similar feelings about this project they are undertaking. They want to. feel that they are supporting a worth while cause and are also bettering the organization.

The club and sponsors are looking forward to a long and prosperous dry year.

Jack Mcintire and Jerome Stemper represented Peru State Teachers at the annual coaches meet in Omaha. This was the 7th annual southeast coaches meeting.

Mcintire pushed Peru into the limelight by capturing the pie eating crown. Mcintire took the winner's trophy by consuming 66 pies.

Stemper added to the Peru cause by coming in "first" in the sack race. Kearney's football coach finished second. The ear wiggling event was won by Wayne State Teachers.

All our hats are off to two great Peruvians, Mcintire and Stemper.

Football Halfback Injured Bob Rodney of Oak Hill was reported in satisfactory condition in the Nebraska City hospital today from a broken leg that he received at the hands of a mouse.

Rodney had just arrived home to find his wife had flushed out a mouse. Rodney handed his wife a broom while he grabbed a baseball bat. They both cornered the creature; and without warning Rodney "wound" up with a high overhead swing. As Rodney brought down the bat, the pesky rascal scurried off, leaving Rodney to blast his own leg.

Rodney should be available for the 57-58 season, since doctors

About a month ago, when President Eisenhower was playing golf on the Auburn greens, one of our papers flew into his hand. After reading the paper, especially Dave Longfellow's historical story "Ninety Years of Peru," he wanted to read more of our papers.

Since Peru doesn't have the equipment to print enough papers for the public's demand, Presidt;,nt Eisenhower is donating several million dollars for a press at least as big as the WorldHerald's. He feels that as many people as possible should have the opportunity to read such magnificent writing.

The armed services of the U. S. will serve as carrier boys to guarantee the Pedagogian world coverage.

Everyone wishing to attend the celebration can meet in front of the gym tonight at 7:30.

BUILDINGS TURNED DOWN President Eisenhower, in an announcement the other day, granted fifteen million dollars to Peru State Teachers College for the erection of new buildings, such as housing for men and women, new science buildings, ·. etc. Gratefully, Dr. Gomon turned down the offer. He stated: ''We have no place to put them."

Timely long range weather forecast for campus schoolers: summer expected to be hot.

The junior class has made elaborate plans for the juniorsenior banquet with usual spring theme using orchids as main decoration. Final ballot has not yet been taken to choose between Lawrence Welk or Satchmo for dance music.

Designs for remodeling and enlarging the Campus School show a spacious second floor labeled "Wreck Hall" which includes an Acorn Ballroom with smooth-as-glass f 1o or, s m a 11 stage, ·chromium plated coke bar, adjoining grill. Recreation equipment includes ping pong table, target games, miniature golf course, marble and jacks court, and dozens of table games.

After much effort on the part of both the High School and Elementary Student Councils, classes have been reduced from one hours endurance to ten minutes tolerance, thus allowing for full utilization of anticipated Wreck Hall.

By popular demand all male faculty members will wear Bermuda shorts with colorful shirts as standard classroom uniform.

Teaching fashions have not as yet been dictated for the ladies on the staff.

To class Peru as a progressive school the present driver ed program is being expanded to include the new pre-jet training.

To provide adequate facilities for this expanded program, plans are underway for a ten million dollar airport to be situated on the river bottom north of the railroad station. Work will begin on this project the second Tuesday of next week.

He holds the all-school marble champ and is usually runner-up in bowling tournaments. With three track letters to his credit, this spring Vic broke the quarter mile hoop rolling record. Other broken records are several Elvis Presley ballads with which he practiced discus throwing.

Most outstanding music activity has been organization of kindergarten rhythm band and allschool ocarina chorus. His hotrod performances make him pbpular with all students.

There will be some kind of an important meeting in either the High School Auditorium, the Nurse's Office, or some place in the building. Important business will be taken up along with other important stuff. Don't know exactly what it is, but those concerned with attending campus school and teaching there better be present.

Holy to S.D.A.T. Dr. Holy attended the seventh annual meeting of the S.D.A.T. (Slave Drivers Association for Teachers) March 14, in Nebraska City.

The main topic of discussion at the meeting was: "Is the quality of the material used in old bull whips inferior to the quality of the new ones?'"

Dr. Holy also stated that he had some trouble making it to the meeting on time. It seems he had some trouble with the motors on his chartered DC-7. He said he had an enjoyable time and would probably attend the annual meeting next year.

Cecil B. DeMille, Holiywood producer and talent finder extraordinary visited the Peru Campus March 31st in order that he might find some talent for his new picture, "Samson Crosses the Delaware." Accompanying Mr. DeMille were Howaro Hughes and Alfred H itch c o ck. Mr. Hughes is currently producing "The Outlaw Rides Again, This - Time With a White Hat," and Mr. Hitchcock is completing the cast for "The Trouble With the Man Who Knew Too Much."

The three producers are vying for the next Oscar awards for the best picture of the year. AU are in search of "new" talent. It seems as if Rock Hudson, Jayne Maynesfield, Tab Hunter and other stars are losing ground with the audiences.

Mr. Robert Moore in accordance with the producers wishes to meet the dramatic talent on campus took the three "names" to the auditorium where the spring play cast was practicing "The Petrified Forest" by Robert Sherwood.

The producers were captivated by the cast's performance and wanted to meet the actors personally.

Gramp Maple (Bob Bohlken) caught Hitchcock's eye. Mr. Hitchcock gave Bob a contract for the leading male role in "The Trouble With the Man Who Knew Too Much." Bob, an inquisitive soul, asked Mr. Hitchcock, "Sir, what's the matter with tl¢ man who knew too much?"

M:r;. Hitchcock, in his inimatable fashion answered Bob, "Son, he's dead." Bob walked away contract in hand muttering to himself "I have a feeling I'm gonna have trouble with that part."

Duke Mantee (Rex Filmer) got the job with Hughes as the "Outlaw." Rex casually asked Mr. Hughes, "Why, did I get the part sir?" Mr. Hughes looked furtively around then said in a low tone, "Son we can only afford one hat and it's in your size ..."

Rex walked away muttering happily to himself, "I knew this head of mine would take me places."

Cecil B. DeMille handed out contracts to everyone else explaining, "I need you all for roles in my movie as its going to be the .:nost spectacular, spectacular ever produced. Why its going to be greater than T.V." Yvonne Funkhouser had a puzzled frown on her face and Mr. DeMille hurried to ask her what was the matter. Yvonne shyly answered, "Well, Mr. DeMille, I thought I'd seen all your pictures, but when did you produce T.V.?"

Just at this moment Mr. Moore rushed up, protesting ...."You can't take all my cast, the play's premiere is only a month away.

Peru Pedagogian PERU, NEBRASKA

APRIL 15, 1957

A Beautiful Campus

Ninety Years Of Peru State

President Speaks at Alumni Meeting

Important to any college is the buildings it keeps. At the present time Peru State is angling for a much needed building to house the enrollment that is steadily growing. One comment from the president indicates that if he gets one that will meet all of the needs of Peru State, it will either cover the entire campus or be ten stories high.

Be that as it may, Peru has some buildings that have served for over half a century or more and are still going strong. One such is Mount Vernon Hall which now houses a segment of the male population on the campus.

Mt. Vernon occupies the site of the first building on Peru's campus. In 1897, however, that building burned during the holiday recess, and many of the students' belongings were destroyed. One professor managed to rescue some dishes, and lowered a feather bed to safety.

Mt. Vernon was erected the same year and has been going strong ever since, first as the girls' dorm and now as the mens' housing. It was adjoined in 1929

by Eliza Morgan Hall which went to the girls, and was named in honor of the dean of women, Eliza Morgan, who served from 1872 to 1898.

The "Old Normal Hall" stood where the Auditorium and Hoyt Hall do now. It served the college from 1873, when it was completed and dedicated, until late in the 1920's when it was felled to make way for the present occupants of the site.

Hoyt Hall (named for W. F. Hoyt, who' served many years as an instructor of science) was dedicated in 1930. Previous to that time the building that now houses the music department was used for science instruction.

The Music Hall was originally constructed as a frame building and was used as the library until 1906 when the present library was finished. It was used for science from then until 1930 when it ended its odyssey and qecame a weird-sound factory.

1887 saw the construction of the Infirmary which was, originally, the heating plant for the Normal Hall. Students of 1904 saw the erection of the present Gymnasium and called it, in those days, the , Chapel. Some years later it was converted to a gymnasium and, in 1949, it took its present form as the roof was lowered and the south end was extended.

It was 1911 before the Administration Building made its entrance and took its place as the nerve center of the most impressive campus in Nebraska. In 1917 Peru State gained a laboratory school in the construction of the T. J. Majors Training School.

Delzell Hall provided a resting place for the male population in 1939. Named for W. N. Delzell, it is the youngster (faculty apartments excepted) in as fine an ar~ ray of college buildings as exists in Nebraska's colleges.

New Officers

Officers elected for the coming year are: Calvin Reed, president; Paul Laundelt, vice president; Ethel Etmund, secretary; and John Stahn, sergeant at arms.

"State of the College" Don Carlile introduced Dr. Gomon, who spoke on "The State of the College."

Dr. Gamon announced the 90th birthday of Peru on June 20th and invited the alumni to be guests of the college on the celebration of that day. Stating that the founding of Peru was one of the first acts of the first legislature and that Peru was the first teacher training institution and the first institution of higher learning in Nebraska, he said, "Peru was the Athens of Nebraska, the seat of learning, until a couple of years after her founding, when some upstart founded the University of Nebraska."

Great Growth

President Gomon traced the development of Peru from academy to two year college, from two year to four year college, from granting degrees only in education to granting degrees in other fields, and finally the achievement of graduate school status, which came in 1956.

He announced plans to form alumni groups in Denver and on the West Coast.

The Future Asking, "What of the future?" he answered, "Peru will continue to lead the way in education.

Seventy-four graduate students were on the campus last summer, and there will be more this summer. We are beginning to need expanded facilities. We have plans for a Practical Arts-Fine Arts building, and we have plans for a Student Union~Dormitory building."

In closing, the president deplored the present public attitude toward making individuals pay more and more of the cost of education. He stated, "Peru was founded as a free public institution-as free as any elementary or high school in the state. I am concerned about rising tuition which may exclude many worthy students in the future."

President Gomon ended by telling the alumni, "We must prove that public education is important and worthy of support. We must have a majority of our population-at least 51 %-willing to support public education as it should be reported."

Attending the meeting from Peru, in addition to Dr. Gomon and the college students, were Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Mathews, Myrtlte Cook, Cleo Kelly, Frieda Rowoldt, Nellie M. Carey, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart P. Linseheid, Mrs. Evanelle Paradise, Mrs. Gertrude Fulton, Mary Clarke, Victor H. Jindra, Alma Ashley, Mrs. Gomon and Don Carlile.

There was a big weight lifting contest in room 319. Bob Miller broke the old record by lifting 350 pounds. He stated that he could have lifted more, but he had a slight cold.

Don Roddy is starting a baseball team for P.S:T.C. which, of course, he will manage. There will be many men here in the Hall who are going out for it. So far this season, two games are on the schedule, opponents being the Lincoln Penitentiary and the Lincoln Air Force Base.

Each year the Nemaha Chamber of Commerce treats the 8th graders in the county to the Shrine Circus in Lincoln. Small catch: parents or school must furnish transportation PLUS the price of chameleons, etc. and FOOD!

In the "learning to write" grades the supervisors help the youngsters write get well cards, birthday cards, greeting cards. · This past week the 2nd graders asked Miss Wonderly to help them write sympathy cards to Sally because she lost her grandfather. They learn early the amenities that make life more gracious.

Now that spring (?) has come once again after the blizzards and rain, the perennial mixture of small feet and mud makes life mizzuble for teachers at school and parents at home. .Them there 8th graders did right smart with their one-act plays (and I don't think they would have done half bad at the contest). Besides earning the price of skip, I mean field trip to Omaha, they had a ball! Asked the mother of the leading hillbilly gal how they ever talked her into wearing the dress (I use the term-uh-loosely), Sara Jane's mother replied "Its the ham in her-just like me."

The high school jumped the gun on the college by holding their All-Sports banquet on Saturday evening. Speeches, awards, entertainment, a dance after, and a king and queen to top it all off.

Jerry Henning and Christy Hays reigned.

The sight of boys churning up the highway in sweat suits reminds one that, mud or no, track meets will be held one after the other before long.

Vic Jindra's orchestra and Mr. Manring's vocalists are really rehearsing. By the time you have this in hand, the District Music Contests will be a thing of the past. Yup, that's what the crowd was on campus Thursday and Friday.

May I speak a word on behalf of safety? I've seen this great sport of chicken in films but after actually driving behind a high school participant in a mild version, I'm still shuddering. 3,000 pounds of metal hurtling at another 3,000 pounds and to think human beings are riding inside!

Comics Discussed At the conclusion of Mr. Birginal's unit on humorous short stories in English 9, an interesting discussion of comics developed from class enthusiasm.

STOLEN GOODIES

By Donna Gaer As I was reading through some of the other college papers the other afternoon I came upon a few articles that I thought were interesting and thought maybe you would enjoy them too.

Here is one from the Midland from the Midland College at Fremont, Nebraska, that seemed to apply to Peru. "The average student may not know all the faculty, but the "Brownin" knows them all."

Here is another from the above college. "It is recommended that the students walk on the sidewalks, for now that spring has come it is easy to see that the grass is for the birds."

From the Antelope from the N.S.T.C. at Kearney I picked up this little poem.

"Spring has sprung, The grass has riz, I wonder where the flowers is.

They say the boicj. is on the wing 1 Now that's absoid, I thought the wing was on the boid!"

Age

Ninety Years ·of Peru State

By Dave Longefellow May Fete hasn't changed much in the past few decades; There wilr be the usual crowning ceremony, the usual program and the usual May Pole dance, but . . .

It's always different. · • , , memories ol things past . • • The)' held it in the old Amphitheater one year; the benches on the slope above were filled to overflowing, and standing room only was the order of the day.

The Amphitheater is gone now, a victim of progress ...

And then there was the festival held near the flagpole. Modeled after King Arthur's fabulous court, it was replete with jesters and pages-and the minstrel who narrated in verse, and sang ...

It has always been the same, but somehow it has always been different. New faces_, new royalty, all make the difference.

Traditionally the welcome of springtime, May Fete has no be,f ginning that you can find. May festivals come from England, ' ' bringing with them the May Pole s and dqnce. e You can't find the year that the r May Fete came to Peru State, but e as far back as records and mem ories go you find merition of the spring festival.

In the good old days, around 1910, Peru State started a Spring Music Festival that took · place during or just before the week of commencement. The Peru orchestra and chorus backed famous singers from the Metropolitan Opera Company, and other famous concert soloists from Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, etc.

Optimism was high that the receipts from the two or three performances of the programs would be sufficient to defray the cost of such fine talent, and bills of as high as $1,200 for the days entertainment were covered by the ticket sales.

Peru State history as recorded

by Barton Clevenger in his series of a few years ago saw one rule that probably led to the mutilation of the state timber. It is appropriately mentioned here since this is the first issue of real spring: "When seeing a friend home, the boy will walk at a distance of ten feet from his partner." And ten-foot pathways are hard to find in the state timber ...

Editorial.

Let's Vote Tonight On Campus School Contract A complete account of the proposal for a new contract between the Board of Education of State Normal Schools and Nemaha County School District No. 3 appeared in the April 18 edition. of the Peru Pointer. The patrons will haye an opportunity to accept or reject the proposal at a spe~1al meeting to be held at the City Hall on Monday evenmg, April 29, 1957, at 8:00 o'clock.

To avoid any misunderstandings as to who is eligible to vote at this meeting, Section 79-427 of the School Laws of Nebraska is herewith quoted: "Every citizen of the United States (1) who has resided in the district forty days, (2) who is twenty-one years or more old, and (3) who owns real or personal property that was assessed in the district in his name at the last annual assessment or whose spouse owns real or personal property that was' assessed in the name of said spouse in the district at the last annual assessment, or who has children of school age residing in the district, shall be entitled to vote at any district meeting or school election . . . " In the past some confusion has existed as to whether persons living on state property qualify as voters. All of the state grounds are within the borders of Nemaha County School District No. 3. Persons living on state property are eligible to vote just as are people living elsewhere in the district if they have children of school age and/or if they were . assessed on their personal property at the last annual assessment which was as of March 1, 1957.

People living on state property pay school. taxes or: th~ir personal property just as does everyone else m the d1str1ct.

These qualifications apply to married stud~nts in Oak Hills as well as to faculty and staff members living in collegeowned housing.

As persons interested in the welfare of the elementary school children of the district, every citizen should acquaint himself with the new contractural proposal and then express himself at the April 29 meeting ~y ~as~ing a. ballot either for or against the proposal. As is md1cated m t~e news release, the decision rests with the voters of the district. No pressures are being or will be exerted either for or against the proposal by the administra~on o~ the Board of Education of State Normal Schools. It is believed, however that the decision should be made by all of the people arid every eligible voter should cast a ballot. ffllllUlllUlllllllllllllllllfUIUUflllllllUlllllllllllJllJllUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllJ.lllllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllll

The ping pong tournament has advanced very well. Jerry Grancer, Chuck Francis, Carl Rhoten and Bob Henry are in the quarter finals.

The Delzell Hall open house went over with a big "bang." Invitations were sent to all the residents' parents. Also, approximately seventy letters and invitations were sent to prospective students and their parents.

Nominations were accepted for the officers of the dormitory last April 24. The nominating committee, Dick Stogdill, Ray Ehlers,

and Doug Dickerson submitted the names for nomination. Dick Stogdill commented that he would have nominated himself, but he wouldn't stand a chance of a one-legged Indian in a shin kicking contest A few of the guys on the second and third floor offered their services to repair the torn screens and to police the area below Delzell HalL Bob Miller has finally decided to join the Mickey Mouse Club.

By Lois Bush

Next to the last column of the year-and judging from the way Shrub has missed deadlines before-it had better be a good one. Now all the news that should have been in the last-.issue is stale. Still, some of the highlights had. better receive. the once-over.

Phyllis Orton is engaged to Mr. j3ob Kreiler of Hammond, Indiana. Bob is living in Tarkio, Missouri and plans to study for the ministry.

Another recently engaged couple are Thelma Conyac and Kelly Liewer. Kelly is a senior at Peru State, and Thelma plans to receive her two-year certificate in August.

The Ortons hit the news twice thi§ time. Donna Orton was married Wednesday, April 17, to Mr. Loren Miller of Tarkio, Missouri.

The couple have recently returned from a honeymoon in Chicago.

Weddings are in the air now that spring is here. Both Gail and Maxine are making plans for their weddings on May 31 and May 25 respectively.

A linen shower for Gail' was given by Lois Bush the evening of April 24 in the rec. room.

Among those present were Franci Stilwell, Rosie Edelman, DeAnna Brown, Donna Lair, Pauline Kish, Lorraine Bfppes, Ann Carter, Jan Stangel and Mrs. Bob Humphrey.

All during the year many exresjdents have come to visit for a t'ime. The most recent of these wail!, Sandra Shaw, who married Tom Percell on April 26.

Open house and a tea we.re held in the dorm on Sunday, April 28. In a flurry of spring house cleaning-even to washing windows and waxing floors-every room was at its immaculate best for the occasion.

Somehow gremlins got into Pauline's and Lorraine's room and removed the screen from the window. Nasty little gremlins, though, bec.ause they didn't ever put it back-even during Easter vacation. They left it in the hall for poor innocents to trip over.

Easter vacation ushered in formally the wearing of spring clothes. Only one difficulty (in addition to the interminable washing, starching and ironing) is evident: the full skirts make for one-way traffic only in the halls; traffic jams are unavoidable.

Spring brought with it a passel of new haircuts. Two of the more striking belong to Deanna Hutton and Sue Alberson, whose short haircuts contrast strong1y to their long winter hair styles.

Enough of this yammering.

Shrub alla time talks too muchso she'd better keep her mouth shut for the rest of the year. Bye.

The dethroned champs, Jim Bennet and Bonnie Rutz (early season's favorites to repeat this year), had to be content with second place.

The tournament matching thirty-four couples allowed both sexes to take part. The final tournament contests drew more spectators than did the early rounds.

Chuck Krumme, hearing that the badminton tourney was completed, sighed, "Now all the students can play good-minton."

College Students' Costs Double Since 1939-40 NSEA News 4-12-57 , The amount that s tu dent s ¡ spend in attending college has doubled since 1939-40, Lawrence G. Derthick, Commissioner of Education, said in announcing preliminary findings of an Office of Education survey.

Commissioner Derthick said the expenditure per year for fulltime undergraduate students. attending public college this year averages about $1,500. A student in private college pays about $2,000 a year.

The average expenditure in 1939-40 was $7 47 for a student in a public college, and $1,023 for a private college student.

The survey by the Office of Education is the first comprehensive study of how much it costs an undergraduate student to go to college, and where he gets the money.

At tax-supported institutions in 1952-53 (the base year for the survey), living costs represented five-sixths of the total, and at private institutions, two-thirds, the survey revealed. Average tuition and fees at public colleges was about $175 and at private institutions about $550 in that year.

Students living with their parents at that time spent an average of about $1,000 a year. It cost about $350 more for a student to live in some other private home or dormitory, and about another $300 to live in a club, fraternity or sorority.

"Ten per cent of the men students and eight per cent of the women were from families with annual incomes of less than $3,000. The average family in the lowest family income group devoted about one-fifth of its income to its child in college.

Families supplied 41 per cent of the money for college students; 29 per cent came from students' own savings; and students earned 17 per cent after entering c o 11 e g e. Other sources were

Entrance salaries for these positions range from $3670 to $4970 a year depending on the applicant's previous experience.

The majority of appointments are made at $4080 a year. U n d e r CAA's expanded program, opportunities exist for promotion to $8990 a year.

Five Creative Writers Busy .

On The Campus The advanced college composition class has turned into the hardest sort ·of work at the request of the students, who are in.terested in writing creatively.

Phil Neuhalfen is working on a short story, humorous naturally. Sharon Beck and Hal Norris are also writing short stories.

Lois Bush, Pedagogian columnist, is working on a full length mood play.

Perhaps the most prolific of the campus writers is Virgil Kessling, who is sitting in for no credit. He has written a short. story and a two-act comedy and is working on a book about horses. Mr. Kessling, owner and lover of race horses, has had winners on the Agua Caliente track and now has .three horses in training for the races. His book will deal with the training rrnd development of racers.

At the present time, all five students are working on a story based on a plot suggested by Hal Norris, individual treatments of the story varying greatly.

Stewart Linscheid, the teacher, says, "Keep your eye on these writers. If they keep up their efforts, some of them are practically certain to be publishing th'eir work in the future."

FAREWELL TO OUR ALMA MATER

By Bill Kochheim World weary and disillusioned as we arrive at the end

of the trail, we, the Senior Class of '57, having perfect control of mind and being unaffected by hard study and high marks realize that we soon must vacate our beloved campus. To our dearly beloved teachers, we leave everything they didn't get out of us duri~g the past four years; ~s .well as our best wishes. To the Jumors, we bequeath our privilege to bear, the air of superiority and also the fresh cigarette butts around campus buildings. To the Sophomores, the dignity and grace of wearing T-shirts and jeans or peddle pushers. To the Freshies we leave all overlooked gum we may have left on the bot~oms of desks or seats.

Mentally, we know that this is a personal advancement in this world. However, not until we have left this campus for a few years will we be able to acknowledge the true value of college. We will wonder why we didn't apply ourselves better than we did-why some of the professors were so persistent with some phases of their courses. We are curious how we shall reap our harvest of this education.

While taking a last look at our alma mater, we'll whisper to ourselves, "so long." Then, years from now, we'll reminisce-bringing back to our minds both the good and bad things. Things like the great soci~ life, dorm life, meet~gs with the deans, all night crammmg for exams, practical jokes, cafeteria food, organizational meetings (on Campus and on the River), convocations, football, basketball, and track meets. We shall never forget these hallowed halls or personal advice of instructors.

Nowhere else other than in a true democratic system <:ould we select our vocation, institution, number of years for training, have coffee with our instructors, skip classes, and have free time for our personal use.

Just a few things have been mentioned above, but with these in mind, we wish to show our gratitude to all. We, the Senior Class, humbly wish to thank our instructors, fellow students, dorm mothers, administration staff, campus custodians, and towns people. All of you have had some part in making our college years some of the best years of our life.

To all of you we are grateful, yet, very humble.

PERU PEDAGOGIAN

THANK YOU Last fall we asked for help in reviving the Pedagogian.

Your response to that plea for help was most generous. We wish to thank all of you-administration, faculty, and stu1 dent body-for your efforts which made this year's paper possible. Particularly, we wish to express our appreciation to this year's staff, whose members have done the--very best they could to produce a news. paper worthy of Nebraska's oldest and best college. We tl\ank you.

Next year Mr. J. D. Levitt will take over debate and we shall sponsor the Peruvian as well as the Pedagogian. We'll need even more help: So we are asking for it now. If you want to work on either publication, please let us know.

We'll find you a jdb you like and do our best to see that you have fun doing it.

Plans for next year are nebulous in the extreme, but join us and we'll try to work out plans for a Pedagogian and a Peruvian for '57-'58 which are a credit to the school and to the members of both staffs.

In conclusion, thanks sincerely for your wonderful cooperation throughout 'the year.

Peruvians Enjoyed "The Petrified Forest" "The Petrified Forest," a Pulitzer Prize play by Sherwood Anderson, was presented May 2 l:g a professional manner by the Peru Dramatics Club under the direction of R. D. Moore.

One of the most exciting plays to be presented here, it had a realistic effect. Loaded with action and suspense, tragedy and comedy, the production made a distinct hit with the student audience.

All members of the cast performed well, but this reporter feels that the outstanding portrayals were those of Yvonne Funkhouser as Gabby, Ray Parde as Alan Squire, Rex Filmer as Duke Mantee, Bob Bohlken as Gramp, and Sid Brown as the rather stupid football player.

Before the curtain rose, Yvonne Funkhouser presented Mr. Moore with a TV lamp of petrified wood as a token of appreciation from the cast for his efforts.

It's catching-the college people are forever being excused from classes, so ·the high school people are right in the groove being excused from school for track meets. One informed me "As long as we go till 2, it counts as a full school day." (Nothing said about getting behind in English or French or History:) The password .for this year's 8th grade is "postpone." Their plays were postponed but were a large satisfaction at last. Hope their Omapa tri~ is as satisfactory because of postponementit is now scheduled for May 17.

Sixth graders go to Nebraska City on the 10th. Mrs. Gomon has boys in the same grades I have; we both have station wagons-so you see the invitations are a foregone conclusion (and I repeat, more durn fun!)

Senior girls had agreed to wear suits on their train trip to Chicago until one said she was wearing a .dress-how else would she get her petticoats there?

(D'you suppose any thought has been given to how truly "windy" the city is?)

While everyone is welcome at these recitals given by fine arts students, the fifth graders were thrilled to receive a formal invitation to Jimmy Ackerman's recital May 9th. My 6th grader isn't as vociferous as my 5th grader, but I'm sure they're just as thrilled that he thought of them.

In re student teachers: here is one area where the differences between child psychology and adolescent psychology are very apparent. In the e 1em en tar y grades the children all regard their student teachers with varying degrees of affection. In high school the degree of affection is in direct proportion to the amount of heckling the student teacher can take. Something new to try is regarded with high glee (sometimes mixed with a little sadism).

I had to learn from the custodian in the Ad Building of a new

h ii p p d

game the 10th grade typing class play when the cat's away, called "rabbit." Rae Ann wouldn't tell me, so I'll not tell you. (ClueDick Kapperman is the student teacher.)

While the college seniors are preparing for their commencement, the kindergartners are also preparing for graduation into full time school work. (I know 'cause Mrs. Adams, kindergarten supervisor, sent over for official gold seals for the diplomas.) Last year's kindergartners were never graduated because . an epidemic cancelled the last week of school for them. If you want entertainment, wangle an invitation to these ceremonies.

My 8th grader hurriedly prepared a short oral report on Mussolini, Hitler, and the Pan American Union. How can you cover such diversified topics in one breath? , And don't you think Fran Wheeler's choreography grows better each year? Can't speak for the college performers, but the campus school kids get a bang out of "professionalized" steps. And they deserve all the credit in the world for their faultless winding of the Maypole-beautiful!

The post office boxes have tattled again-when the faculty doesn't pick up their mail, I know they must be absent. Sure enough, Miss Clarke, 3rd grade, went to the doctor who recommended hospitalization. Understudying a teacher surely is as good as understudying an actress a student teacher can't help but be more competent "for teaching on her own.

Time has slipped by and with no 4th grader this year I had no report on Mrs. Brown's annual formal tea. You recall, it is in this grade where the formal tea pouring and training is emphasized at their spring parent's day. However, this year it seemed to me the 2nd graders were pretty formal, too.

In rough intersectional games, the Peru Bobcats split the statistics, blasting Colorado State 13-0; while, getting blasted by Central Missouri 14· . 28. In football for next season, the Bobcats' big games will be Kearney, Hastings, and the Central Missouri 'game at Warrensburg, Missouri.

The basketball team was in· volved in a .three way conference tie for third, this season. The Bo?cats played in two outstate tournaments. As some people say, they at least got to travel.

The highlight of this season's hard-court wars was the Peru shellacking of t h e Wesleyan ·Plainsmen .when Wesleyan was riding on a 10-game winning streak. Next year's team will undoubtedly be built around the "play-making" ability of R6n Witt.

With these three grades and seniors gone, that day would have been a good one for the allschool picnic. (To someone who enjoys picnics, this is rank heresy!)

Another sample of thoughtfulness of our elementary school teachers: Mrs. Christ, in the course of everyday lessons, had her 6th graders write composi· tions on "My Mother." The Friday before Mother's Day, she mailed these compositions to the mothers-what better public relations could you want? (What better Mother's Day gift?)

Mothers with only one chick in school miss the variety of homework that comes home from six, and it's astonishing what Ji ttle fingers can finish. It is also wonderful what teachers can coax them to do.

Dear ol' Vic: last-of-semester rush doesn't prevent him from remembering every child he patiently loves into playing the violin. At the last meeting of his campus school orchestra, he treated them all with candy bars.

Peru Welcomes Six New Staff Members For Summer Session

Diversions were few in the early days, and men were hard put to find suitable surroundings in which to court their lady fair.

Usually they had to settle for shady paths in summer and hilarious bobsled rides in the winter.

Barton Clevenger in his history of Peru State noted one rule that probably led to the mutilation of the timber: "the young man when seeing his partner home must walk at a distance of ten feet from her." Ten foot paths were hard to fihd in those days.

The Future

· ·many-among them a young ex-captain in the Union forces ' 'who was named T. J. Majors. He was a.nephew of the·Majors of the great freighting outfit of Russell, Majors and Waddel; which had thousands of oxen, mules, and horses drag·. "ging wagons westward and which also operated the celebrat, ed Pony Express. Young T. J.'s father granted him a fine ,._ team and wagon to-"Pike's Peak or Bust."

By the time T. J. arrived in the frontier community of what is now Peru, Nebraska, the Pike's Peak gold rush had become a "Bust." So T. J. traded his outfit for a store. Soon the young ex-captain became a power in Nebraska politics. · He. wanted the university for Peru, but unable to get this, ·he settled .for a normal school, not knowing what a normal school was but wanting it because it was some sort of edu. cational institution. ' The normal opened in 1867 in a saloon as the first insti. tution of higher education in Nebraska.

Today, T. J.'s normal is a fully accredited four year colJege. Last year Peru began offering graduate work and soon Peru will be awarding graduate degrees. So-in ninety years Peru has come from a handful of students meeting in a saloon, for want of a better place, to a college of six hundred .enrollment offering graduate work.

Peru is the oldest college in Nebraska. Under the wise guidance of Dr. Neal S. Gomon and his staff, we believe it is the best college in Nebraska. God willing and the Nebraska legislature granting sufficient funds, Peru's future should be bright.

Elementary Supervisor Dr. Edward L. Ruman received his undergraduate training at Southern State Teachers College, Springfield, South Dakota. He received his M.A. and Ph. Ed. Degrees at Colorado State Teachers College, Greeley, Colorado.

After graduating, he taught in eleymentary and secondary schools in 'south Dakota. He is now on the faculty of Iowa State Teachers College. He is ±he coordinator of off-campus 1 student . teaching there. ·· Dr. Ruman is teaching elementary school curriculum, language arts in the .elementary school, and supervision in the elementary school here at Peru. He states that he feels very much at home here because the surroundings are much the same as they were in South Dakota, where he did .his undergraduate work, and he likes Peru very much.

PERU ALUMNUS DELIVERS ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS TODAY

With every confidence of a splendid future for this college of a distinguished past, we are now embarking on the (Continued from page one) decade leading to Peru's centennial in '67.

NINETY YEARS OF PERU STATE (Continued from page one) Peru has granted nearly 6,000 degrees in its history, counting the two year degrees.when it was merely a normal school. The January 1, 1914 catalog notes that in the 46 years of its existence, Peru State Normal school had played host to nearly 26,000 different students, a number to be proud of in those days.

Men who have figured prominently in the establishment and continuance of Peru State are: Col. T. J. Majors, William Daily, Rev. Hiram Burch, J. M. McKenzie, and Dr. J. F. Neal. To these men and countless others since then we owe a debt of gratitude for the finest college in Nebraska, Peru State Teachers College.

The pictures on this page are the combined work of Dave Longfellow, the photographer, and James D. Levitt, the man who did the processing and printing. They are an attempt to record, pictorially, the campus life at Peru S.tate during the summer session of 1957.

Should you want a copy of these pictures, it would probably be better to call what you have in your hands sufficient rather than listen to the wounded screams of J. D. as he moans about how much work he has to do. However, his fatal weakness is that he likes money. 'Nuf said?

Broad Summer Recreation Program This summer's recreation program got into full swing on Thursday, June 6th. The program is being supervised again this year by Coach Jerry Stemper, and is being handled expertly by Messrs. Tom Percell and Dale Johnson.

Girls can play softball on Monday and Thursday evenings behind the dormitory. Men are being urged to sign up for the same ¡sport (not to be played behind the dormitory, however) in hopes that a league can be formed.

The two tennis courts should see a lot of action again as usual.

A tournament is being planned for that sport.

The college swimming pool is a very popular hangout this time of year for those who like the sport of swimming, and for those who like the less tiring but more fascinating sport of watching the beauty parade. At any rate, many are flocking to the pool. Co-rec. swimming is on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30.

Anyone who wishes to become skillful with the flatbow (fairly flatbow, anyhow) can practice archery in the college gym on specified days. Watch the bulletin boards.

Finally, if you're in the mood for a good ol' square dance, grab yourself a partner and head for the gym on Tuesday, June 18, at 7:30 P. M.

THANKS, STAFF By far the greater part of this special edition was the work of members of last year's Pedagogian staff who worked without reward or credit to give you this paper.

Dave Longfellow did the editing and photography as well as considerable writing.

Lois Bush brought i!l information about the summer campus school and a fine short story.

Donna Gaer did reporting.

Ruth Linscheid sold the ads.

Others helped too.

Some old pros got into the act. Don Carlile of special services was a tremendous help.

Mary Anna Gnade wrote another of her folksy "Campus School Commentaries." Former Pedagogian sponsor Dr. .Neal S. Gomon wrote the welcome to our guests.

If this edition is any good, it is because of what these people have done. We are humbly thankful for their help.

Peru Has Placed 117 Teachers Forty-seven additionfl.l candi.dates for. teaching positions have .been placed in new locations for ,the fall term by the Peru State Teachers College placement bu:reau, according to Lee Lowenberg, director of professional services. With 70 announced earlier, . the total placements for fall is now 117. ·While .demand for . elementary teach~rs continues strong in the

state, pressure is building up for teachers in the ui;iper grades and junior high, as enrollments increase in these areas. Greatest shortages on the secondary level, as indicated by vacancy listings, appear to be in the fields of mathematics, physical science, music, English and home economics. Special educational fields also offer many opportunities.

THE AVENUE STORE "ON THE CORNER OF THE CAMPUS"

mitory lounge on June 6.

Miss Juanita Bradley, Dean of Women, welcomed the summer residents and Mrs. Gertrude.Fulton, housemother, reviewed the dormitory rules and regulations so all would be familiar with them.

Dormitory officers for the summer. session were elected and they are as follows: president, Margaret Toman; vice president, Shirley Dismeyer; and secretary and treasurer, Marilyn Missinger.

First report of summer school enrollment from the Campus School shows 29 who are attending while parents attend college classes. Only 54 local pupils to uphold the honor of Peruvians attending their own school. And with 32 student teachers, they have nearly individual instruction!

A chance remark made by 6th grader Steven revealed the feeling of no doubt a large number of campus schoolers (and their parents?): "We're only guinea pigs for the college students to practice on." Hope he sets others straight after being informed that it was a two-way street-he gets as many benefits out of being practiced on as the practicers.

Mr. Sheely's system meets with approval of his pupils: he has 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who meet together first thing in the morning, then divide into separate rooms under student teachers.

Jimmy G. came home from first day of summer school half disgusted: "I'm back in kindergarten!" Miss Gard supervises kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades.

Sally, having been in 2nd grade during regular school year, thought it was great fun being "demoted."

Although there are no regular high school classes during summer school, there are a few high schoolers attending while parents are here. , Gives them a chance for remedial work or work that broadens their regular school courses, (I'm all for more of that for our local high schoolers who are at loose ends for three months.)

The sophomore clp.ss clings together and have sold their teachers and student teachers on inviting them to their homes for an evening of games, chatter, foolishment, eats. Before Mrs. Shrader left for the summer they called on her to see what was behind the "green door," then student English teacher Mrs. Schlange had them at her home in Auburn-you teachers can just wonder if you are next in line to "invite" them out!

Having one's birthday during the summer is made bearable by the fact that summer school is in session. Otherwise, how would one celebrate? Large question for mother is what treat to take. Ice cream melts fast these hot days and yet is coolest.

It sometimes seems these summer sessions turri out to be small versions of reunions among various students': "You here, again!" and "Peru State couldn't stay open if I didn't show up each summer." One "can't-stay-away" student commuting this summer ·for the first time without her son attending classes with her. He is now five years old and when you go to kindergarten, you lose interest in college classes.

Large moment one day was watching two boys retrieve a softball from the ledge over the campus schoolp<:>or. Good batting target! Good acrobitl,i.cs!

And of course the prime reason for attending summer school when it isn' ulsory is the swimming · School was dismissed for Peru Centennial Celebration, which was the day the 5th grade girls usually swim.

Eighth grader said, "They got to make it up, ·but if Vfe had missed, we wouldn't have beE;n able to."

Incidentally, our c amp us schoolers looked right good in their little parade Centennial Day. And it's a known fact that they have talent for a, show any time. But the pictures shown by Mr. Levitt and Dr. Delaney and explained by Mr. Morrissy outshone them all. (Of great interest was the picture of Mr. Jindra as bride in a womanless wedding performance "way back when.")

The pictures really point out the growth made by the college, too.

Pro Talent Events Crossman and Sternberg will present a vocal.program in convocation at 11:00 a.m. on July 1.

At 8:15 p.m. on July 11, we will be entertained by the Irish Players. A week later at the same' hour, the Bill and Pat Medley piano team will play.

July 16 the Night of "The Widow's Plight" AMellerdramer Mr. R. D. Moore, head of the dramatics department~ has set July 16 as the date for the production of the play "The Widow's Plight" or "Virtue Victorious."

The play is melodrama.

The characters are Araminta Heartensole, a poor young widow, played by JoAnn Gruber; Mrs. Crockett, her mother, played

by Lois Bush; Mazda, her child, the light of her life, played by Martha Sue Moore; Bludsoe Heartensole, her brother-in-law, played by Bob Whited; Tobias Trout, a young fireman, played

by Bob Bohlken; Herodious Blitherington, Tobias Trout's father, played by Phil Slagle; Mrs. Sartin, Araminta's neighbor, played

by Donna Gaer; Mrs. Pert, another neighbor, played by Donna Schuster; and a p o 1i c em an, played by Franklin Pederson.

The scene of the play is one of genteel poverty. Mrs. Crockett, Araminta, and Mazda live alone in a dingy, small house. Bludsoe Heartensole is constantly trying to win Araminta's love so she will marry him and finally, in a last attempt, tries to steal the insurance money she received when her husband died. He also steals her marriage license and spreads gossip about her. At last Tobias captures Bludsoe and gets back the marriage license which saves the family's name and he wins Araminta's love.

Peruvians may expect a night of excellent entertainment when veteran dramatic director R. D. ·· Moore releases his old theatrical magic aided by the skilled cast he has for this performance.

Mrs. Martha Campbell Aldrich, 96, Brock, Nebraska

Attended Peru Normal From 1878-81 Six years before Nebraska became a state and before the first Legislature established the "Nebraska Normal School" in 1867, Martha Campbell was born. At the age of 14 years she entered the "Normal School."

Mrs. Martha Campbell Aldrich is one of the earliest attendants of Peru State living in the area.

No doubt she has had as many, ·if not more descendants and relatives attend this· school than any other living Peruvian.

Mrs. Aldrich's sister, Mrs. Belle Campbell Marcellus, formerly of Brock, and now of Chicago, was in attendance at the same early period. Mrs. Marcellus later returned to Peru for further study in the early 1900s.

Mrs. Aldrich's daughter is Mrs. Elizabeth Dougherty of Brock, Nebraska. Her years of attendance at Peru State were from 1919 until 1921.

Mrs. Aldrich's sister's sons: Byrne Marcellus, Chicago, was graduated with the class of 1908; E. W. Marcellus, Evanston, Ill., was graduated in 1905, and her son Donald Marcellus, now deceased, was a former student.

Mrs. Aldrich's daughter, Mrs. Dougherty, is the mother of five daughters, all of whom have attended Peru State: Mary Belle Dougherty (Mrs. Jack) Gilman, Nebraska City, was graduated in 1952; has two children, a. boy 8 and a girl 3. He has been active in the Methodist church in the communities in which he has lived.

Editorial . ..

Editor's Note: Then (1931) as now The Pedagogian was trying to be helpful. This July 15, 1931 editorial warning teachers against racketeers was clipped from a copy of the paper sent to us by F. Eaton of Brownville-_The daily papers of Nebraska have been carrying the news of a certain George Besnah, who has lately escaped from the Seward and York jails. This same George Besnah working under several aliases has been selling magazines to school teachers in southeastern Nebraska. School teachers should read the reports concerning this Besnah and ·act accordingly. .

Why intelligent school teachers should let. oily tongued salesmen take their earnings away from them is not hard to explain but it is difficult to excuse. Here on the Peru cam- pus several rackets have been worked successfully. The teacher's agency racket is one of the last and one of the surest. The smooth-tongued Arrow-collar gent persuades the teacher-with-a-job that for ten dollars paid in advance an? no commission later, the said teacher is certain of a position. Foolish as the claims are, the agent persuades the teacher and collects the ten dollars. Haste-post-haste the !!-gent is gone bye-bye and never returns.

No agents are permitted to solicit business of an.y. kind on the Peru campus without the consent of the adm1mstration. When anybody approaches you anywhere in Peru and entices your money into divorce proceedings, smile and say, "Show me your permission card from the General office."

As a consequence of that precaution you will appear wiser and be wealthier. llltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllll!

This Was Columbus?

By Phil L. Neuhalfen

Lisbon. Bartholomew, his brother, whom we shall call Barty .so that we all can pronounce his name, owned a shop in Lisbon.

He sold charts and instruments having to do with the sea. Chris was in Lisbon to see and work with his brother, Barty.

One day Barty got mad (I mean angry. What language I use!). He got angry at Chris because Chris forgot to get money for some instruments which he had sold.

Now, withou.t money, how can you make a profit? So Barty hit Chris with a doorknob. It would not have been so bad if the dqorknob hadn't been attached to the door. Well, ~ver since that fateful day, Chris would always say, "The world, she ~a round. The world, she sa round!"

A long, long time ago in the country of Italy, something happened that was to upset the whole mixed-up map uf the world because at that time, the map of the woild was a real mixed up mess. It all happened in the Italian city of Genoa on August 25, 1451. A baby was born io the family of Columbus. When the father saw the child, it looked like it didn't have a head. This, of course, was a shock to Poppa Columbus. It proved to be a mistake on poppa's part. The child just had a pillow over its head.

After Momma Columbus removed ·the pillow, Poppa Columbus uttered a sigh of relief. (You would too, if you just discovered your After that time, everyone child had a head.

Chris told her if she would give him three ships, they would have many lovely moonlight nights in the garden.

So it cam~ about that the king and queen of Spain gave Columbus three ships-the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Chris was the head man on the voyage because he was captain (that sounds logical). The Santa Maria was the largest ship. It carried more men than the other two ships (that also sounds logical!).

Inside his stomach, great things were happening. Chris finally quieted the men and told them his plan of action. He told them to take down all the sails of the ships and sew them together.

They had to sew by hand hecause Elias Howe hadn't invented the sewing machine yet. After getting the sails together, Chris said to cover the ships with the sails, making the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria air tight. After the men did this, Chris sprinkled pepper all around the place. This made the monster begin to sneeze. He began to sneeze so hard that the ships shot out into the water. The sails, making the ships water tight, made the three little vessels the first submarines used in the ocean. While this was happening, Chris was hanging on one of the monster's ribs still throw-

Peruvians Will Be Here July 17 Mr. Levitt, sponsor of the Peruvian, has set July 17 as the tentative date for the arrival of the 1957 Peruvian. There are 550 copies to be distributed on the evening of July 17 at Mount Vernon, at which time they hope to have a "reunion" of all classmates for the purpose of autographing the yearbook.

Jo Ann Gruber and Sue Moore plead fearfully with hard hearted villain Bob Whited in a touching scene from "The Widow's Plight," in rehearsal, as Lois Bush looks stricken about ~he whole thing. "The Widow's Plight" will be presented on the same evening, · July 16, as "The Lowland Sea," a serious opera. The combination of serious opera and melodrama should give every one something fhaf he will like.

Davidson Retires And Grindle Goes To California The retirement of Miss Phyllis Davidson and the resignation of Robert V. Grindle from the faculty of Peru State College has been announced by Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president.

Dr. Gomon to Address Large Ulass 90th Ann_i~ersary Edition Attractive In Impressive Evening Ueremonies The 90th Anniversary Peruvians were distributed in the Bob Inn on the evening of July 17.

Based on the theme "Progressing 90 Years To 1957," the 135 page books are somewhat longer than usual and feature a number of old pictures of· historical interest -the old Administration Building, the oli;!est Peru yearbooks, an old street scene in Peru.

Excellent photography done by students under the direction of "one shot Levitt" is a feature of the bocik.

The 90th Anniversary Peruvian also gives high fidelity reporting of the student activities of the year.

PRESIDENT GOMON The Pedagogian says, "Congratulations on a job well done."

Dean Melvin Loses Thumb In Bench Saw Accident On the night of July 10, bean Melvin was working with a bench saw and unfortunately cut off his right thumb just above the first knuckle from his hand.

Dean Melvin was running the bench saw in his basement when the saw caught the board forcing his hand under and against the saw. The blade ran up the middle of his thumb but he got his hand out before it cut his arm. He went to Auburn immediately to have it treated.

Dean Melvin's only comment was that it could have been much worse. He warned people to keep their hands out of the saws when working with them!

Lowenberg and. Carlile Attend Public Relations Meeting in Omaha Mr. Lee Lowenberg, director of professional services, and Mr. Don Carlile, director of special services, attended the con vent ion of the American College Public Relations Association which was held in Omaha June 24-27.

College development, discussed in panel form, was explained by several designated c o 11 e g e s.

These separate colleges shared their ideas and experiences with developmental projects and specified how each worked.

Three Generations Of Whitney Family Are Enrolled Here For the Whitney family of Pawnee City, the 1957 summer session at Peru State Teachers College is a family affair. Currently enrolled are grandmother, mother, and sons Jerry and tom.

The grandmother, Mrs. Pearl Whitney, who is classified as a junior, has taught for nearly 40 years in the rural schools of southeast Nebraska, except for eight years in rural Kansas schools. This fall she will teach at the East Star district (72) in Pawriee county.

Mrs. Julia Whitney, the mother, has taught eight years in rural Nebraska schools and will be teaching in the elementary school at Corning, Kansas. A junior at Peru State, Mrs. Whitney explains that this is the first time that so many from the family have been enrolled in college at one time.

The family are the summer house guests of Tom, who was in attendance during the past regular term. Tom and his wife, the former Shirley Porr of Hum. boldt, find that having their relatives as guests has certain advantages. Most imp or t an t there is plenty of baby-sitting personnel, to look after Tommy Dean, 20 months, and Debra Kay, three weeks.

One of the most enthusiastic baby sitters is Tom's brother, Jerry, who has taught in rural Nebraska schools for three years.

He has attended summer sessions and night classes regularly since 1954 summer session and is classified as a junior also. The coming fall term will find him teaching at Bancroft, Kansas.

The senior-classification-wise -is Tom, who will complete degree requirements this fall at Douglas, Nebr., where he has a st u d en t teaching assignment.

While completing his degree work during the fall term, Tom will continue to serve as pastor of the Douglas and Table. Rock Christian churches. When the spring, 1957-58 semester rolls around, he hopes to enter the College of the Bible of Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma.

A new venture in recognition of summer school graduates will be inaugurated this year. There will be a full-scale commencement for all students qualifying for degrees and diplomas at the close of the regular or post sessions. In order that all regularsession candidates may actually receive their degrees or diplomas on Commencement Day, the ceremonies will be held at 7:00o'clock Thursday evening, July 25. Candidates for degrees or diplomas at the close of the post session will be recognized at the Commencement exercises.

Your attention is called to the new time al)d- date for these exercises. Tlle ~eviously announced time was 10:30 a.m.

Thursday, July 24. Classes as usual on the 24th.

Tentativ~-s call for openair exerci .. ·.ifarrangements can be made he Commencement night q.ctivities will be held on the mall. In case of inclement weather, the exercises will be held in the Auditorium. The evening's program will be preceded by the President's Reception from 2:30 to 4:30 o'clock the afternoon of the 25th at the president's home. All degree candidates will be invited to this reception.

Dean Keith Melvin will preside at the Commencement program. Music will be provided by the Fine Arts department. Dr. Gordon Kenyon will present the class. President Gomon will beliver the address and award degrees and diplomas.

Members of the summer faculty are expected to participate in the ceremonies in academic regalia. For those who do not own their caps, gowns and hoods, arrangements can be made for rental through the office 6f the secretary to the president. Requests should be made in the hands of Mrs. Gnade no later than Friday, June 28.

Or. Hutcheson, Education Head, Now in Peru On July 1, Dr. H. L. Hutcheson came to our campus to begin his job of being head of the department of education. He is taking over some of the duties of Dr. Holy, who has been both the head of the education department and director of student teaching.

Dr. Hutcheson got his B.A. degree from the Nebraska State Teachers College at Wayne and his M.A. and Dr. of Ed. degrees from the University· of Nebraska.

He has taught in high schools at Oakdale and Atkin,son, and for the last two years he taught history and principles of education and school administration at the Un1versity of Nebraska.

Dr. Hutcheson was born in · Onawa, Iowa, but grew up at Bassett, Nebraska. He is married and has an 11 year old girl, Gayle, and an eight year old boy, Rex. He and his family are living one block north of the campus in a home they bought.

Dr. Hutcheson and his wife, Hazel, like everything about Peru he said. They particularly like the friendliness and the high morale of faculty and students.

This picture of Mrs. Elizabeth Dougherty, Mrs. Martha Campbell Aldrich, age 96 and one of Peru's oldest living graduates, and President Neal S. Gomon was taken by David Longfellow at the 90th Anniversary Convocation, the biggest single eveni of this summer session.

By David Longfellow A period play, this masterpiece returned the audience to the Gay Nineties, and was replete with villain-hissing, hero-cheering and tinkly-tink piano background from the skillful hands of, Mrs. Nancy Winseman.

The delicate, down-trodden heroine, Araminta Heartensole, was played by J oAnn Gruber, who receives this critic's bouquets for an inspired, heart-rending performance.

Lois Bush was hilarious as the old grandma, Mrs. Crockett, acquisitive and scheming, yet lovable. Martha Sue Moore, making her debut as a college actress, was fine as Mazda, the defenseless toddler of Araminta.

The hideous villain, Bludsoe Heartensole, as played by Bob Whited, was so successful that

the audience was ready to rise as a man and rid society of this fearful menace.

Bob Bohlken receives cheers as an actor as well as a hero for his inspired portrayal of noble Tobias Trout; and Phil Slagle as Herodius Blitherington provided hilarity unexcelled as the decrepit father of Tobias, alias Lancelot Blitherington.

Donna's Schuster and Gaer and Frank Pederson supported nicely as Mrs. Pert, Mrs. Sartin, and the Policeman.

The story is a farce concerning the poverty-stricken widow, Araminta, Mrs. Crockett, and little Mazda, the pride of their life.

Bludsoe desires marriage with the widow of his long-gone brother-struck down by a horsecar.

Tobias Trout foils his attempts to steal the money and burn the house, and falls in love with the lovely Araminta. Mrs. Sartin and Mrs. Pert are malicious gossips

1.'The Lowland Sea" "The Widow's Plight" Are Crowd Pleasers

"The Widow's Plight: or Virtue Triumphant"

Statistic!

By Dave Longfellow On Tuesday, July 16, the Fine Arts and Language Arts departments pooled talents to present an evening of fine entertainment.

A large and responsive audience braved the sweltering heat to hear the songs of "The Lowland Sea," and to hiss the villain and cheer the hero in "The Widow's Plight."

"The Lowland Sea" The work of Alec Wilder and Arnold Sundegaard, this serious operetta was well received by the audience of nearly 300.

Outstanding in the role of "Dorie Davis" was Marilyn Dyke.

Playing opposite her in the role of "Johnny Dee" was her very capable husband, Loren Dyke.

Together, they produced some memorable sounds as a duet, and as soloists. They have both appeared in previous college , operettas.

"Captain Jesse,'' of the Scarlet Sail, was portrayed by Sharon Ocker, a veteran of many operettas, both as an under-graduate and a graduate. He appeared last summer in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Trial by Jury."

Junior Karas, no stranger to Peru musical productions, took the part of "Nathaniel Hazard," a hard-working farmer who seeks Dorie's hand.

Jerry Whitney and Lynn Lee joined Loren and Sharon to provide a male quartet of excellent quality. Betty Taenzler an d Grace Hannafard took the roles of "Hannah" and "Belinda."

The story of "The Lowland Sea" is set in Scarlet Town, New England, around 1850, the era of the trading ships and whaling vessels.

Johnny Dee and Dorie Davis are sweethearts who expect to marry when Johnny returns from the voyage of the "Scarlet Sail," Captain Jesse's command. Following a beautiful duet in which

•

• NEBRASKA CITY COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.

Dorie promises to wait, Johnny sails away.

In Singapore, Johnny falls ill with malaria and is ordered by the ship's doctor (Lynn Lee) to remain until another ship comes that is returning to Scarlet Town.

In the meantime Nathaniel Hazard, who has three children to care for, proposes to Dorie, but Dorie, true to Johnny, declines.

When news that the "Scarlet Sail" went down with all hands reaches Dorie, she accepts Nathaniel's offer in the grief of her loss.

Johnny finally catches a ship going home and returns expecting to find Dorie waiting. A romantic reunion is affected, but

the tragedy ends with Dorie, in love with Johnny, still married to Nathaniel, and Johnny sailing off on another voyage.

Darryl Manring, the director, is to be complimented, along with Robert Moore, stage director, and Fran Wheeler, choreographer.

Junior Karas took charge of properties and stage arrangement in addition to his own role. Jim Boatman and Dave Longfellow are to be commended for their contributions in effective and dramatic lighting. (Ed. Note: see by-line above.)

The entire cast is too large to be included in this story, but to them all the Ped says: "Good job, well done."

While Peru State's main responsibility as one of the four Nebraska State Teachers Colleges is teacher education, its curriculums offer training in other fields.

John E. Lynch, assistant executive secretary, was the speaker for the National Education Association convocation held in the college auditorium, July 11, 1957.

Mr. Lynch explained that the aims of the N.E.A. were to improve education and improve the welfare of those teaching school.

He had just returned from the second contennial convention of the organization.

Mr. Lynch went on to say that in the coming years we may be required to go to school 14 instead of 12 years, or 40 weeks a year to cover all the needed material that is to be taught. If we do this, we must have more teachers and teachers of better quality. He said that the teachers will have to be paid higher salaries so they will be attracted to the profession, and they will have to be paid a salary in relation to the amount of education they have had.

One of the resolutions that was discussed at the convention, according to Mr. Lynch, was whether we should use subjective rating in evaluating the quality of a teacher. He brought out the strong points and the weaknesses of each plan.

Another resolution which was discussed was that t e ache rs should be paid a professional salary which would be related to the services they rendered. The salaries should range from $5,000 to $11,500 a year.

The convention also discussed \he possibility of having congress pass a bill for tax reductions for j1rofessional expenses, such as education and· professional conventions and training. This would not burden the teachers with paying taxes on money used in professional ways.

The annual Senior tea was in the lobby of the Eliza Morgan Hall on the afternoon of July 18.

The summer graduating class of 1957 and the faculty were the guests at the tea.

The dormitory officers and some seniors were honored in the receiving line. The officers were: Margaret Toman, president; Shirley Dissmeyer, vice president; Marilyn Meisinger, secretarytreasurer; Ruth Brunes, house chairman.

The lobby was beautifully decorated with summer f 1ow er s which helped to raise the low morale caused by the 102 degree temperatures.

MATHEWS HEADS SCIENCE WHILE CHRIST DOES RESEARCH IN MINNESOTA Three courses, Survey for Elementary Teachers, General Biology, and History and Literature of Biology, are being offered in the science department this summer according to Mr. L. B. Mathews, associate professor of physics. There are 55 students enrolled in the three classes.

Because of the limited time during the summer session, the classes are unable to do extensive field work. Mr. Mathew's classes are collecting flowers and leaves and taking occasional field trips when the schedule permits.

Mr. Mathews is substituting for John C. Christ, head of the sci• ence and mathematics department, this summer. Mr. Christ is doing specialized research work at a branch of the University of · Minnesota located at Itasca, Minnesota. He was invited by the University of Minnesota to do specialized field work there.

Campus School Commentary

While there are no children in the Campus School building, it does not mean that school is not in full force. Gleeful, burstingwith-life children are replaced during July and first half of August with the quiet, studious meditation of adults preparing to cope with said robust youth.

Chatted with Miss Wonderly, a truly enthusiastic instructor. She had 26 students the first half of summer school and has 19 students this last half in a seminar on student teaching. As with her little 2nd graders during the win~ ter, Miss Wonderly takes pride in knowing her students by name before the end of the first week.

I only get a facetious answer when I ask our regular term instructors how it feels to be a student in the same classroom where they usually teach. There must be a button they push to change from a "disher out-er" of knowledge to a "taker in-er."

A lovely lady quietly said goodby to people and locked her classroom door (for 28 years) for the last time this summer. The little'ns she had under her wing for the summer session never suspected it was her swan song.

For those of us who have known her a comparatively short time, she was an integral part of our children's school life. We will never say "goodby" to Miss Gard since we fully expect to see her on campus from time to time.

After people have been on campus a number of years they come to be taken for granted. It gives you pause to consider that Miss Davidson, Miss Carey, Miss Edna Weare also have retired and will no longer be seen hurrying from gym, library, home ec rooms. How nice for them to be able to retire on the merits of a long and satisfying career to a less strenuous life. I twitted Miss Carey on not being able to stay away from professional education meetings and the like, and she came back with "just see how quickly I can get out of harness!"

the music department doesn't let them go. Wednesday night, July 17, (a hot one!) VHJindra and RTBenford presented their violin and piano pupils in a recital. After listening to the horrendous sounds made at home, it is gratifying surprise to hear how much better it is done before an audi ence. So they made a mistakeso they picked it up and went on.

It is at this point you appreciate the mastery of the accompanist.

And this was a nice feature of the recital: wherever possible, the child's parent or brother or sister accompani~d the child. Mr. Benford, Mrs. Cotton, and Pamela Van Pelt took turns accompanying the others. The whole thing was a nice progression from beginner to top amateur performers. Those just beginning could see that there was hope of becoming better; those at the top could sympaViJze knowing they too had been" imp,q_ssible to· listen to comfortably in ihe beginning.

(Clue: it sounded beautiful outside the Music Hall-ask the night watch n and the mosquitoes). Bi nation for small performers as "is that bug going to land on me?"

Mrs. Iversen had a Pollyanna thought-one of her classes comes directly from the gym and they say it is so hot and stuffy there that her room feels comfortable.

(This heat is all a comparative state of mind, anyhow!)

With summer school drawing to a close (already?) we are scheduled to have an outdoor commencement. Outstanding fact in the hustle surrounding this event is that so few people know their headsize. One consolation with the women, if their cap is a trifle large they can always use pins. Do the men with crewcuts use scotch tape? A big congratulatory thought to Mrs. Brandorff for achieving the honor of being first at Peru to be hooded for a master's degree!

Though the youngest generation is not formally on campus,
