My Year in England as a Fulbright Exchange Teacher

Miss June Kulhmann, who was graduated from Peru State in 1948, is again art and geography at Alamogordo (New Mexico) high school after having spent a year as an exchange teacher in Surrey, England. Originally scheduled to teach in Scotland, Miss Kuhlmann' s assign-men t was changed to England, since the exchange teacher from Scotland was unable to come to the United States.

"Under these circumstances,' states Miss Kuhlmann, telling of her experiences in 'I gained the title-of 'the misguided missile from Alamogordo' among the 99 other U.S. exchange teachers sailing with me.

"After landing at Southampton, we teachers went to London where we were free to do as we wished for a week until the opening of foreign schools. My first impressions of London were of the many chimney pots and the beautiful small flower gardens.

"Secondary schools in England fall into about three groups: Grammar, Technical and Modern, the latter being relatively new since 1944.

"I soon learned that I would teach in a Modern secondary school only about 30 minutes by fast train from London. I found lodging at Guilford, F.ng., with Mr. and Mrs. S. Denyer, close friends of an exchange teacher from Guilford who taught in Alamogordo.

"English schools have three Lengthy holidays follow each one: At mas time I had a three week holiday, during which time I traveled to Paris and other cities in France. I then went on to Germany and later to Scotland. During the Easter vacation I saw the tulip fields of Holland.

«Nearly every weekend I took a short.

tour to some interesting place or other. Many of these weekend tours were arranged by English teachers who had been in the U. S. at one time or another on an exchange program.

course I spent considerable time in London. I spent hours and days in museums and art galleries, both in London and other foreign cities. I attended and _the theatre and I visited many historical sites and bui 1 ldings. All the time I was abroad I was made to feel like a guest as well as an exchange teacher.

"At the close of the school year I spent two weeks touring Italy. While on this classical tour, I got to see all wonder-ful places of art that I have wanted to see all my life. I then returned to England for a few days and visited Canterbury. Before sailing we American exchange teachers were guests at a large garden party and were presented to the Ql.leen Mother.

PBefore I left, many beautiful gifts were presented to me by the English school in which I taught. Among these were _an antique sterling silver teapot and companion creamer and sugar bowl which were 110 years old. A hand-embroidered gingham dress was a gift from the girls in the home economics department. At the presentation, an elegant high tea was served."

Miss Kuhlmann says that she found her experiences in Europe enriching and rewarding, especially in her teaching of art.

Miss Kuhlmann's brother, Roger, is now a junior at Peru State. Her sister, Clara Mae, 'AS, is now Mrs. Guy E. Moore, Rt. 9, South River road, La_fayette, Ind.

Peru Drailla, Opera

In Brownville Revival

Singers and men:ibers of the Peru Dramatic Club cooperated with the Brownville Historical Society in a stage revival at the Brownville Town Hall March 7 and 8.

On the cover are cast members of the Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, 'Trial by Jury', presented by the Peruvian Singers, and Dick Corwine and Franci Stilwell in a scene from the Dramatic Club presentation of Tennessee Williams' play, 'Moony' s Kid Don '.t Cry' . The Peruvian Singers pictured are Mary Riley, Phil Neuhalfen, Richard Sietsema, and Margaret Utterback.

The opera directed by Darry 1 T. Manring, and the play, under the direction of Robert D. Moore, were part of a planned series of performances sponsored by the Brownvil_le Historical Society in an effort to revive the days wnen the Opera House in territorial capital was the entertainment center of Nebraska culture.

Members of the orchestra, under the direction of Victor H. Jintlra, provided intermission and pre-performance music for the event. Scenery for the one-act play and program were designed by artist Terrance Duren of Shelby.

The Peruvians' appearance was the third major event of the Brownville Historical Society since the group was organized two years ago. Earlier activities included the July 4, 19S7, .celebration, highlighting the historical and recreational features of the city, and the October 6, 19 S7, fall festi va 1 featuring living still lives created from Mr. Duren's sketches.

Next attraction will be the June lS, 19S8, Horseless Carriage Exhibition, according to Mrs. Cassius (Ruth Courtright) Kennedy, 'lS, society president.

Building Plans Progress for Industrial Arts Facility

Work on plans and for the new industrial arts building was accelerated the first week in by of guides to educational planning provided by the Colorado State College advisors. It is hoped the educational fications will be ready for presentation to the Board of Education of State Normal Schools at its June meeting.

The tentative time schedule provides submission of the proposal to Governor Anderson by July 1 and if approved J:>y the:i: to the architect for interpretation into building specifications. It is hoped bids can be called for early in the fall with construction under way by October, 19S8. If the schedule is followed the facility should be ready for occupancy in the fall of 19S9.

The new building will incorporate all of the features of a first class industrial and mechanical arts building. Not only is the facility critically needed to present antiquated and facilities, but is an absolute necess1ty if the young men trained in the field are to meet the demands placed upon them by the school districts in the area. Many high school industrial arts departments are far superior to those provided at the where the high school teachers are trained. If for no other reason, the industrial arts building is of primary importance.

Successful Cage Year Ends; Spring Sports in Full Swing

By Bob Henry, Sports Writer

Since the Winter Peru Stater, the Bobcat sports scene has traversed through a highly successful basketball season and into the spring sports of track, baseball, and tennis.

Under the tutelage of Jack Mcintire, the Bobcat basketball team, after suffering a mid-season slump, came on with a rush to win eight of their last nine conference tilts and gain a co-championship with the Hastings Broncos in the Nebraska College Conference.

Peru's lofty perch entitled them to participate in the four-team playoff for the right to enter the N.A.I.A. basketball tourney in Kansas City. In the first game of the playoffs, Peru edged the Kearney Antelopes on the home court by a score of 77 to 73. However, the Peruvian bid for a berth in the N.A.I.A. classic was squelched by the tough Hastings quintet as the Broncos administered an overtime 68 to 66 defeat to Peru and won their way to Kansas City as·1 the N .C.C. representative. Scores of games since the last Peru Stater, with the Peru score first:

Campus Hit By Fire During Clark Term

As Prof and Prexy

My memories of Peru and of what was then the State Normal School cover two different periods in my young years. From 1895 to 1898 my father, William Arthur Clark, taught mathematics at the school. He and mother and I lived in a tiny apartment in the girls' dormitory. This building had a flat, tarred roof, below which was an attic full of stored goods and trunks. Each apartment and dormitory room was heated by a wood stove.

One day a fire started, and the whole building and its contents were soon destroyed; we esct!J>ed with just our lives and a few clothes. I remember walking down the path toward the main building, holding my father's hand. I looked back at the flames and cried through my tears, 'I don't want the big red dormitory to burn down!'

We lost everything in our rooms and all my parents' wedding gifts which had been stored in the attic. However, my father rescued one thing from the ashes and debris in the basement. I have as an ornament in my living room a lovely bronze st"'tuette of the young Homer, reading. It had survived the fire.

After the fire we lived for some time in the .home of Professor Duncanson. I attended the 'model school' kindergarten in the basement of the old 'Building', which now been replaced by a science building. Miss Lou Hosmer was supervising teacher.

When I was five years old we left Peru, and my father went back to Harvard to complete his work for a master's degree. Then we spent a year in Chicago, where my father held a teaching fellowship at the University of Chicago under Dr. Dewey, who later went to Columbia University. After gaining his Ph.D. degree in philosophy and education, my father was offered an assistant professorship at Harvard, but he chose to accept the presidency of the school at Peru.

For four years we again lived at the school: from 1900 to 1904. We lived 1n the

president's apartment in the 'Buildin'', as .the townspeople called it; and this was a beloved home to me. I was free to play on the beautiful campus and to roam.in the woods full of wild flowers and birds.

My father was my companion and teacher on long walks through the woods. He and my mother and I were an extremely happy and close group. There was a sympathetic understanding between my parents which I have always remembered. My mother had been a teacher of Latin and Greek, and she kept pace with all my father's studying.

My father's sister, Esther Ann Clark, had also come to Peru to teach Latin; and she and some of the other young teachers were often in our home and became my friends.

Aunt Esther remained at the school as the (continued on next page)

(continued from preceding page) head of the language arts department for more than forty years.

My father worked hard f?r the.school during those four years. Besides his busy life as president, he traveled over the state and into other states to give lectures and to teach in institutes. The affairs of state schools inevitably got into politics. Tom Majors, head of state of cation, was at that time a prominent political figure.

Nebraska has always been a careful state financially, and every appropriation for state schools had to fight its way through the legislature. The school was badly in need of a new chapel building. The old auditorium over our rooms in the main building had become too small, and there was grave danger of the floor giving way under a crowd. After innumerable interviews with legislators and many months of constant effort, our bill finally passed both houses of the legislature (at that time there were two), only to be vetoed by the governor as an economy measure.

That spring, commencement exercises were held in an outdoor ampitheater in the woods south of the school. Seats were built along the hillsides, and a stage was erected in the hollow between the hills. This improvised chapel was named in honor of the governor.

Once during these years there was another serious fire. On the third floor of the Building the dramatics societies had stored scenery and chests of costumes. Here fire started by spontaneous combustion, and much damage was done to that part of the building before the fire departments from Nebraska City and Auburn could cover the miles with their horse-drawn apparatus to finish putting out the fire. ·

My father and several faculty members and janitors. fought the blaze with small garden hoses and buckets of water. They stood so close that their hair and eyebrows were singed. I remember that students came to our rooms and carried out all of our furniture and piled my father's precious books into rugs to save them from possible destruction.

The first year we were at Peru, ground was broken for the athletic field, which was in a valley east of the school.

During these years my close friend was Ruth Brownell. daughter of Professor Herbert

Brownell, head of the science department. Her brother, Herbert Brownell, Jr., has recently served as attorney general of the United States; and another brother, Samuel Brownell, has served as U. S. Commissioner of Education. Ruth and I attended the model school, where we from the vision of Miss Hosmer to Miss Kelly to Miss Krebs.

Before I reached the seventh grade, where Miss Goshen presided over student teachers, we left Peru again. My father's health had become under the constant strain, and he felt it necessary to try a different type of life. Later we went back to school work in Nebraska at the new State Teachers College in Kearney, and later to the State Teachers College at Kirksville, Missouri. When Dr. Clark died in 1918, my mother and I received letters of admiration and love from all over the country and even from other countries.

My father was at one time vice president of the N.E.A., and he was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He was the author of ?n psychology and education and was listed in Who's Who.

There are many more memories of Peru which come crowding. The campus lovely with its walks under the oaks and pines. On the grounds west of the old library band concerts were held, and students strolled in the evenings. Dr. Clark established a series of lectures and concerts given in. the old chapel in the main building. These were attended by townspeople as well as by those associated with the school. Even the Boston Symphony found its way to our small corner of the state of Nebraska, though I feel sure they must have had difficulties with our very limited train service. Many fine and prominent educ a tors, art is ts ar-d scientists came to our school as part of che lecture program. I _well remember David Starr Jordan, then president of Leland Stanford University, who was a personal friend of my father.

My heart was broken when we left Peru, and for a long time I felt that I had left my real home. Writing this article has brought back happy times, and I feel close to you all there in Peru. My own education was completed at Kearney and the University of Nebraska, but school in Peru will always remain dear to me.

CONTRIBUTiffiS of as little as SI. 00 from each of the more· than 5,800 alumni and former students who receive the Peru Stater would make possible- -

**-* At least eight one-year scholarships (eight were granted for the 1957-58 school year.)

*** Additional Investments (the ultimate goal of the Foundation is to provide financial aid from annual income ,that in($1,000 from past contributors is. in government bonds). Until .· is possible to have enough revenue from investments to provide student aid, a part of the is being used in order to help stugents here and now!)

HERE and NOV-- send your contribution!

A Peruvian of the 30's remarked recently that students of modest means attended college on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks at the time he attended. This is still the case. Many Peruvians of the present day are experiencing financial difficulties.

Contributions must keep coming during the next few weeks in order that the Foundation may its record of assistance to ving students. If you have already .:;ontrihuted, remember that annual giving is important to the future.of the Foundation!

FACULTY

DONALD K. CARLtLE CLERICAL WORKERS OF PERU STATE

from the desk of the President

Bountiful summer rains have done much to enhance the beauty of the Campus of a Thousand Oaks. Flowers, lawns, shrubs and trees have never been more luxuriant. With Nature providing. the setting, are going forward for- a memorable Homecoming for all Peruvians and friends on Saturday, October 11. Elsewhere in this Peru Stater is a copy of the program for the day. Present students and faculty are doing their best to assure a successful day for you. We hope you will return to your school for the Homecoming activities on October 11.

In a very short time _this college will be celebrating its centennial year. Although 1967 may seem 'far away, that 'is the year Peru State will celebrate its lOOth birthday. In anticipation of this signal event, ary plans are being made now for many activities to be carried on throughout the Centeirnia l year. To. assist in these plans we all Peruvians to search their belQngings for significant materials for the archives of the college. We do not wish to deprive anyone of treasured personal items but duplicates of programs, yearbooks, pictures, etc., would be Please send your materials for the arc:hi ves to_: Mr. Don Carlile, Director of Special Services, NSTC, Peru, NeBraska. Thank you!

Durifrg the eight years I have been associated with Peru State I continue to -be amazed by the influence of the college over its graduates and former students. I am sure 'no college or university in the land has

loyal and proud alumni. As I travel about the country in search of faculty replacements or attending professional meetings seldom do I make a trip without finding from one to a dozen people who have themse 1 ves attended whose spouse or nephew or mother or some relative has been a Peruvian. Our college may be small but it has a big heart as reflected in the thousands of loyal friends and supporters.

Before this Stater goes to press the Board of Education of State Normal Schools will have :a:eviewed revised plans for the new Industrial Arts building. Delayed for months because of political maneuvering by a small but powerful group of men interested only in furthering the growth of one of our sister institutions, it now appears the day may be close at hand when Peru will begin work on its first new classroom building since erection of Hoyt (Science) Hall in 1928. If the proposed time schedule is fallowed, bids will be called for this winter with construction to begin in the spring. It is hoped the building will be ready ·for occupancy by the opening of the 1960 fall term.

The Peru Achievement Foundation has fallen upon evil days. Contributions h8:ve dropped off to a dribble. Severa 1 scholarships for worthy students granted a year ago were cancelled this year because of lack of funds. For those of you who have contributed to Foundation we are thankful but hope you will duplicate your previous contributions. For

those who have not previously contributed, why not get your checkbook out now and send whatever you can afford to the Achievement Foundation? The work of the Foundation merits your financial support.

With the largest freshman class in post_ World War II history, enr.ollment of the college has increased about 12 per cent over last year. Actually the number of upperclassmen is about· the same but there are some S 0 more first-year students on the campus now than a year ago. The freshman class numbers 190 compared with 140 last year. Total fulltime enrollment is up from 413 to 460. Parttime and extended day students will swell the total on-campus enrollment to 525, compared with 466 a year ago. The campus school enrollment (K-12) stands at 261. With night class and c or res pondence students, the total number of people being served by the college is well over a thousand.

Looking forward to seeing you at Homecoming on October 11 and assuring you on behalf of the faculty and staff of continued efforts to keep Peru State at the forefront of a sound program of teacher education, I remain

Sincerely yours,

Neal S. Gomon President

Cover Pictures

Without a doubt, Peru State's "Color Song' has special meaning for two groups of Peruvians

The freshmen at the top of our cover were 'caught' by upperclassmen as they left the dining room and were 'requested' to sing the spirited song.

During the four years between initiation and graduation the 'Color Song' takes on even more meaning. Our lower photograph shows the front of the graduation 'line-up' at the May Commencement.

For the decade preceding 1956, it is reported that nary a drop of rain has fallen on the Peruvians on this festive day which attracts old grads and students from a wide area.

Midland Is Foe

On Saturday, October 11, ·at 2:00 p.m. the Peru State football Bobcats will host the Midland eleven in the annual edition of Peru State's Homecoming. This will be the fourth game of the season and the third Nebraska College Conference game for Al Wheeler and his Peruvians. As a result there should be a good indication of the caliber of the 1958 team by the time October 11 rolls around.

A look at Peru State's sports records gives some interesting data. Since 1924, Peru has hosted Midland only three times in Homecoming tilts. In those three games--1926, 1938, 1952--Peru has been all-victorious. This 34-year span shows Peru with a total Homecoming record of 22 wins, 10 losses and 2 ties.

Since 1909, Midland has been one of Peru's most gracious opponewts. In the contests between the two schools, Peru has a 26 win, 5 loss, and 2 tie record. Peru now enjoys a 14 game winning against Midland, and in those last 14 games, Midland has .never scored more tha11 one touchdown in any one game against ihe Bobcats. However, winning streaks are made to be broken and the Midland Warriors can be counted on to be fired up to a fever pitch in their attempt to defeat their long standing Peruvian antagonists.

RECEPTION SCHEDULED FOR LINCOLN

A reception for friends and alumni of Peru State has been scheduled in Lincoln in connection with the District I convention of the Nebraska State Education Association. The similar event usually held in Omaha ha·s been cancelled this year it was impossible to find a suitable site.

The Lincoln reception is scheduled for Thursday, October 23, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on the Mezzanine· of the Cornhusker Hotel. Ap Peruvians, whether attending the convention or not, are cordially invited to meet their friends at the Peru reception.

Schoolmen' s Day Is January IO

Schoolmen's Day at Peru State has been set for Saturday, January 10, 1959, according to President Neal S. Gomon. The event will mark the seventh consecutive year that male faculty members from schools in southeast Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri will be invited to visit the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

A 4 p.m. coffee hour, followed by tours of the campus, a 6 p.m. dinner meeting (no speakers), and the Concordia Teachers of Seward vs. Peru State basketball game at 8 p.m. are on the agenda.

Nelle Folsom, Ashland, had completed her SOth year. The 27 returning members of the class have taught a total of 545 years, an average of 20-plus years per person.

ONLY rla i rt y an ii One

Since its organization in June, 1955, and through the 1957-58 school year, the Peru Achievement Foundation has provided financial aid in the form of scholarships to 30 worthy Peru State students. llad it not been for this assistance many would have had to pass up a college education. ·

Unfortunately, the number of gifts has dwindled since the charter year drive. Since the last publication of the Peru Stater in May, 1958, only 30 alumni and one friend of the college have contributed.

In this issue we have omitted the list of donors- -in hopes that when we run the "30plus-one" names in the January issue that your name will be added to them. The Peru Stater is mailed to nearly 6, 000 alumni and former students. We're asking that yon send SOMETIIING Uf just a dollar) so that your name will be on the winter issue 'Honor Holl"'. If you have given before, why not consider making it an annual demonstration of your faith in Peru State and in the youth which are served by yout College.
