Sam Sadich Star of Week Peru Back Raced 73, Doomed Kearney By Paul LeBar Omaha World-Herald, Sept. 27 Peru's Sam Sadich, who turned the tide in the Kearney-Bobcat contest last week, is The WorldHerald's state college Star-ofthe-Week. The 5-8, 155-pound line-backer, a transfer from Illinois, is proof that dynamite comes in s m a 11 packages. Peru, without a victory over Kearney since 1952, had its back against the wall when Sadich swung into action. The Bobcats were clinging· to a 12-7 margin, and Kearney was on the march. Nelson Hinkle of the Antelopes faded back to pass. The ball never reached Hinkle's intended receiver; Sadichsummoning the talent of a vet; eran-snatched the aerial at the 27 and sped 73 yards to score. The startling turn of events awarded Peru a 19-7 lead and handed Kearney its first NCC reversal in nearly three seasons.

Comprehensive Orientation Program Worked Successfully This Year.

Peru Dramatics Club to Present AMellow Drammer

By Marilyn Monroe The PSTC orientation program started Monday, September 5th, when the freshmen registered in' the dormitories. In the afternoon a coffee hour tor parents of the freshmen was given, and the campus buildings were open to the visitors. That evening the freshmen attended an informal dinner followed by a program. Tuesday morning, Dr. Boraas gave the School-College Ability Test. The American College Test was given that afternoon. That evening there were residence hall parties in each of the dorms. Wednesday, the English Classification Examination was given by Mr. Moore. The remainder of Wednesday and all of Thursday was divided into "How to Study" periods, physical examination, and library orientation. Thursday evening, an All-freshmen Convocation was held in the auditorium with James Levitt presiding. In this convocation, Mrs. Boatman told about "Your Health at Peru," Dean . Melvin interpreted the college catalog, and Mr. Larson described the registration procedure. Friday was registration day for all freshmen in the gymnasium. Saturday night, complimentary movies were shown in Auburn

and Nebraska City. Orientation identification was used for admission. Monday, as the upperclassmen registered, the freshmen had library orientation and "How to Study" periods. Members of the orientation committee stated that orientation is a controversial measure. The value of orientation is· effected by the opinion of the individual or group. Dr. Boraas stated the freshmen did very well in their American College Tests, which consisted of English, mathematics, soc i a 1 studies, and science. The _results of these tests were available at registration, so that some freshmen could be separated into basic mathematics and remedial English. Library orientation was given thee more hours this year. It is Mr. Langham's belief that the most effective library orientation should be a regular part of the . classroom assignment prepared by the faculty. But, as he stated, "It does not work as well in fact as in theory." Mr. Langham said that he was very happy to be a part of the expanding freshmen orientation, because it will permit students better standing in their later academic career, both (Continued on page two)

By Bob Fisher A 62-yard touchdown run by Sam Sadich, Wood River, Ill., sophomore, after a pass interception with less than two minutes to play,· clinched a 19-7 victory Saturday for the Peru Bobcats over Kearney State on the Antelopes' Foster field. The Bobcats took the lead with 4:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, when John Christensen, Nebraska City, quarterback, connected on the Kearney 35 with Topp Yopp, Wood River, Ill., end, who went all the way to pay dirt. It was the first pass completion for the Bobcats after 10 tries. Christensen scored the first six points of the game midway in the second quarter on a one-yard plunge. Lynn Osterholm, Glenwood, Iowa, senior, failed on his first placement attempt, made the second try, and had the third blocked. The Antelopes' only tally was in the same period with 3:06 remaining, when Steve Kraus went over the goal line on a screen pass from quarterback Nelson Hinkle. Antelope Paul Peterson made his placement good, and Kearney lead 7-ti. After allowing the Antelopes 182 offensive yards in the first half, the Bobcat defensive unit tightened, permitting only 130 yards in th~ second round. In the fourth period, the Bobcats held Kearney to 20 y a r d s rushing, while the B o b c a t s gained 66 yards rushing, as many as during the three previous quarters. Outstanding defensive p 1 a y was credited Peruvian lineman Jerry Henning, Peru; Cletus Shrout, Wood River, Ill.; Ray Unterbrink, Wood River, Ill.; LaMarr Gibson, Falls City, and Dick Gerber, Fullerton.

First quarter saw St. Mary's rch to the Peru l0-y2rd stripe r plays after the opening -off.

In a hard fought battle, Peru Prep defeated the Cook Cougars 32-21 on Cook's field.

DeZwarte's Team Starts Season With 69-0 Victory By Steve Parker Coach Virgil DeZwarte's Peru Prep football team launched its opening game of the 1960 season at the Oak Bowl last Saturday night by running over the Nemaha team by the lopsided score of 69-0. The scores of six more Prep touchdowns were cancelled by the officials by way of penalties. Running over the touchdowns which did count for Prep were Tom Boatman who made four, David Gomon 2, and Paul Heuer, Tom Majors, Jim Furnas, Al Wheeler, Jr., and Pat Morris one apiece. They were aided by fine work on both offense and defense by the entire Prep squad and that means every Prepster suited up, as DeZwarte swept his bench so that every Pe!u boy g_ot in on the fun.

Jim Fisher, and Neal Eickhoff. Roger Witt, vice-president, was appointed sergeant at arms at the meeting. His official capacity in this office will be to preserve order in all Blue Devil meetings. Two proposals were brought up for future consideration. The first proposal waSI the hiring of a. chartered bus by the Blue Devils for the purpose of having the organization attend the football game between Peru and Oklahoma Panhandle on November 5. The other proposal was that the Blue Devils should sponsor a dance to raise money for the organization's treasury.

Kittens Plaster Dunbar 31-0 By Steve Parker The Peru Prep Bobkittens Friday rolled to their second victory in as many games by defeating the Dunbar Wolves 31-0 in Peru State's Oak Bowl. The quick-maneuvering backfield, composed of halfbacks Tom Boatman and Pat Morris and quarterback David Gomon, plus the strong offensive line proved to be too much for the Wolves. Peru Prep received the opening kickoff and three plays later Tom Boatman scored the first touchdown to climax a 65-yard march. The rest of the night proved to be almost entirely defensive for Dunbar. Danny Paap and David Hemminghaus were the major threats both offensively and defensively for the Wolves. Before the final whistle, Boatman had crossed the goal line twice more and Pat Morris and Paul Heuer had both scored once. Morris ran the ball across for the single extra point. The Bobittens were hosted at Cook Sept. 23, and will appear at the Oak Bowl Oct. 7 against Dawson-Verdon.

The "flu bug" made way. into Majors Hall and put the following fellows out of commission for short periods: Glenn Irwin, Howard Engberg, Gary Stover, Don Underwood, and Larry "Butch" Whitfield. What started out to be a snake dance and progressive pep rally on Thursday, September 22nd, turned out to be more of a rain dance; but several girls splashed their way down to Majors Hall to give a warm send-off to the footJ;lall squad leaving for the Kearney game. The rain may have dampened their exteriors, but their spirits seemed to be in fine shape. Co-captains Dick Gerber and Ray Unterbrink gave their comments to wind-up the rally.

Campus School Chatter By Mary Anna Gnade After three weeks in school, class and lesson schedules are fairly w e 11 established. The "old" campus schoolers have taken the measure of the "new" students (and vice versa)-and the football teams, A and B, are unbeaten ! ! ! If you think a team uses adhesive tape for binding up injuries, you haven't looked closely at our Prep team. Paul Heuer's sweat pants consist more of tape than of material, and the operation involving holding up Tom Majors' pants was a show in itself-hoist pants till Tom teetered on his toes, then slap the tape around him; next time he squatted whole procedure was repeated. It's not "Quick, Henry -the Flit," but "Hurry-up, the TAPE!" Already GERMS have attacked. College freshman Jim ChriSt filled in for his mother at her 6th grade desk when she was stricken with voicelessness. Sally reported "He had to scold some of the boys, but he uses such big words!" When no voice developed into pneumonia for Mrs. Christ, Mrs. Schottenhamel took over to listen to the daily current events which seem to comprise the largest part of 6th grade homework. Have you noticed two very retiring LITTLE fair maids? Sympathize with them (and their teacher)-they fight a losing bat-. tle each day in kindergarten. Mrs. Adams has 12 boys and only the two girls. One thing, girls in this situation get early practice in "how to handle boys." Li'l Greg Anderson reported to his mother at end of first week that he kissed li'l Miss Spilker! Of course, last year Mrs. A. had 15 boys and only 6 girls so she has fought the battle before. In passing them on to Mrs. Straw, first grade, one fair maid was lost. The reverse was true last year in 8th grade, but when 3 boys · and 8 girls are shuffled in with other high schoolers, the disproportion is less evident. The first few days of speech class, the jun-

Bobcats Beat Doane 9-7 In Crucial Fray Ken Dostal Races 85 Yards For Touchdown By Bob Fisher Peru State's Bobcats bounced back in the third quarter by capitalizing on a Doane College fumble and a bad pass from center to score a touchdown and a safety to shade the Tigers 9-7. The Bobcat win Saturday night kept Peru State in contention for the N.C.C. crown as the Kearney Antelopes downed Hastings College to make each of the three leaders one-loss victims. In Saturday's contest the Tigers roared to a seven point lead in the first five minutes of play when Des Isernhagen latched onto a pass from Doane quarterback Ray Graves and scampered 47 yards for a touchdown. Peru's touchdown came with 10:25 remaining in third quar. ter when Ken Dostal, Scribner junior, scooped up a Doane fumble on the Peru 15 and traveled 85 yards for the tally to knot the score. Lynn Osterholm, Glenwood, Iowa, senior, made his placement good. With less than three minutes remaining in the same period Gary Beckwith, Doane's k i ck specialist, was the victim of a bad pass from center and was caught in the end zone for the two point safety that made the difference. The Tigers had taken possession on their own 19 and had been held to seven yards in the three plays prior to the fateful pass. In the waning minutes of the second quarter and early in the fourth period, the Tigers nipped two Peru State scoring threats. Doane's defense held. Peru four downs within five yards of pay dirt just before halftime. The fourth quarter Doane stand again kept the Bobcats from scoring as the Tigers restricted the Bobcats to within five yards of the goal.

The primary purpose of the meeting was to make technical preparations for the Homecoming Play. It was decided that a special meeting would be held in November at the home of the club's sponsor, Mr. R. D. Moore. Methods for enlarging and improving the organization will then be discussed.

M.E.N.C. Elects The M.E.N.C. met Monday, October 3, 1960, in Mr. Wilson's 路 room at the Music Hall. Last year's pre-sl.aent, Gaylin Sudik, presided. Election of officers was held. The new officers are: Gaylin Sudik, president; Eugene Walden, vice-president; and Jim Kelly, secretary-treasurer. Pamphlets that explained M. E. N.C. were handed out to each member.

Mother To Guide Her" Is In Final Rehearsals Upperclassman Views Initiation By Linda Nygaard

September 26-28 were the days of Freshmen Initiation. A 1 on g with their little chores in th e three dormitories of polishing shoes, making beds, and doing other odd jobs, the beanie-clad freshmen always had a welcoming committee to greet them after dinner. The initiates were required to sing the Color Song, do a school cheer, and duck walk. If the freshmen were indifferent to the requests of the upperclassmen, they usually took a short trip to the fish pond .. After Kangaroo Court, the tables were turned. It was the upperclassmen who went into the fish pond! One would think the freshmen would be satisfied with seeing their superiors, by grade level only, dripping wet. They were still revengeful. After the girls' dorm initiation, some of the frosh coeds found acorns in their beds. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and an acorn for an acorn. Th ere were, however, no acorns to be found in the upperclassmen beds -only shaving cream, dead mice, crackers, and dried cereal. All in all, it was a swell initiation, and all freshmen are now official Peruvians in good standing.

Freshman Initiation By Pinky Lewellyn The 1960 Freshman Class was brought before the student body Wednesday, Sept. 28, to pay for their crimes during the initiation period. At 7:30 p.m. the freshmen were brought in and seated as a group on the gym floor. "Honorable Judge" Allen Nelson presided over the court. The prosecuting attorney representing the upperclassmen was John Biere. Tom Aitken represented the freshmen in their pleas. Members of the jury were Mike Roach, Pat Martin, Ch a r 1 e y Schott, Sherrill Tarring, Linda Nygaard, Darrell Feit, Bill Bliss, Dick Gerber, Sandy Pearson, Rita Grandgenett, and Mary Ann Lewellyn. The charges against the fresh-

By Carolyn Reiber The freshmen of Peru State Teachers College were initiated by upperclassmen, Sept. 26-28. I, as a freshman, will attempt to summarize the various opinions of my class on this initiation. I believe that many of us almost enjoyed some of the things demanded of us during initiation. Seeing each freshman with his beanie, odd clothes, a n d stringy hair, displaying respect and obedience for the upperclassmen and singing the Color Song were expectations that added spice to the daily routine of college life. I do think that some of the stunts required of us went more to the extreme than they should have. These, however, were not too frequent and apparently caused no permanent disablements. In conclusion, initiation proved to be fun for the majority of the PSTC students and added color to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks. men varied and included browning up to the professors, kissing upperclassmen, for g e t t in g to wear their beanies, and "parking" during the路 daY'. Sentences for thl crimes were having a hair-pulling contest, eating an alum-covered marshmallow, building a log cabin, and reading Romeo and Juliet. As an over-all penalty, the freshman class was sentenced to stay on campus for the Peru-Hastings game.

The 1960 Homecoming play, "No Mother To Guide Her" or "More To Be Pitied Than Censured," is now in the final stages of rehearsal. Three members of the cast, .Rose Clancy, Allen Nelson, and Ray Meister have had a great deal of experience in dramatics at Peru. All three have been in two Homecoming plays, "The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners" and "The Cave Dwellers" plus a one act play, "The Claw,'' and one Spring play, "Our Town." Rose Clancy also played in the 1960 Spring play, "Brief Music,'' which was composed of an all girl cast. After playing such parts as a school teacher and a French hussy, in past plays, Rose is no w playing the part of Spring Overton, the beautiful young heroine who has "no mother to guide her." From being a constable and an ex-prize fighter, Ray has moved to tile depths to play Talbot Twillingham, the nasty villain who decides that the chaste young heroine should be chased as well. Allen, who has previously acted as a French style Romeo, as well as a Bear in "The Cave Dwellers,'' is now Hadley, a butler with a prison record. Steve Parker, as Casper Vandenburgh the dashing young hero, has had previous experience as a deaf-mute in ''The Cave Dwellers,'' and Joan Wesolow. ski and Sandy Stephens b o th played in "Brief Music." Newcomers to the play cast include John Biere, Melissa Fulkerson, Carol Eynon, Barbara Thomas, Linda Nygaard, Lois Fritz, and Alan Wheeler. For a riotous evening's entertainment that will long be remembered, everyone is urged to attend this "Meller Drama" in order to revel in hissing the heavily moustached scoundrel as he pursues the down-trodden heroine, who is always rescued in the nick of time by the virile young hero.

Some girls just about got washed out of Morgan Hall last week. A water pipe from third floor broke and washed d o w n the steps to first. Second floor did have its trouble even-·though the girls missed the fun of splashing down t h e hall. Wasps, who make their home on the walls of Mt. Vernon, seem to be invading the west wing of second floor. The entire floor has a faint odor of "RealKill." Speaking of killing, Kay Parli, Carolyn Parli, Patsy Melcher, Lee Christen, and Linda ·Goodin did a pretty good job of devouring a watermelon at a party last week. The girls of Morgan are able to boast cleaner floors since the purchase of three new mops. The dorm has also invested in a new iron, ironing board and cover, and a waste paper basket for their kitchen. Donna Francis left the group of "available individuals" 1 a s t Saturday, October 1 when she b e c a me the bride of Mark Thompson. Mark is in the Navy, stationed in California. ' There was a talent show put on by the girls of .the freshman class. Each wing did a different stunt. Among others, there was a pantomime, several skits, and a take off on the television show "I've Got a Secret." The frosh coeds did very well and all the gals enjoyed themselves. New wing counselors w e r e elected by the seven wings last . Wednesday evening. The new · "peace-l{eepers" are: Mary Ann Lewellyn, third floor, west wing; Wanda Price, third floor, east wing; Linda Nygaard, second floor west wing; Lee Christen, second floor east wing; Connie Erisman, the new addition to all floors; Kathy Rhoten, basement. Freshman representatives to the dorm council are Carol Eynon and Bonnie Sude. Judy Adams is our off campus representative. Congratulations girls, I know you will do a fine job. I close with these words of wisdom. "Live each day as if it is your last," mid-semester exams are just about here! STUDENT WIVES MEET The Peru Students' Wives Club held its first meeting of the year, Thursday, September 29. Sixteen new members and 12 veteran members were pre s e n t .

Broncs Gallop Past Bobcats In 19-7 Win cos to kick on their fourth down following the opening halftime kick-off. Thirteen plays later, the Bobcats had fought their way from the Hastings 23 to the TD. It was John Christensen who went over after the ball had rested inside Hastings' two-yard stripe on the two preceding plays. Lynn Osterholm's placement try was good. Final touchdown came with 3:27 remaining in the third quarter on a 21-yard run by Ron Barry. The Broncos needed but five plays and the benefit of a 15yard Bobcat penalty to reach the Peru goal following Osterholm's kick after touchdown. A Bobcat threat in the fourth quarter ran out of downs about midway in the period as the Peruvians lost the ball on the fourth down on the Hastings 10yard line.

Penhandle Game Ends College Football Career of Eleven Seniors PERU FOOTBALL SENIORS (First of two articles) By Tom Yopp The ranks of the 1960 Bobcat grid squad includes eleven seniors whose college football careers will end with the November fifth game at P a n hand 1 e A & ·M in Goodwell, Oklahoma. Seven linemen and four backs are represented in the senior HED lineup, whose efforts had earned a total of 22 Peru football letters ·with the Bobcats at the start of the current season. Indications --t:i>alre that this number will be increased by eleven when the final whistle sounds in Oklahoma. Henning Jerry Henning is described by · hi.s coaches and opponents as the finest line-backer in the state. Jerry, a 1957 graduate of Peru Prep, is majoring in physical education and mathematics. Jerry's wife is the former Marlene Allgood. They have one child, Mike.

A physical education and industrial arts major, Gail is planning to coach and teach following graduation. Unterbrink A mainstay in the Bobcat line is Ray Unterbrink, who this season appears to be turning in his best. Last season, he was voted to the N.C.C. coach's all-conference team. Ray's experience at Wood River, Ill., high school and service ball is proving valuable to Peru State's football fortunes. Ray plans to teach physical education and social science.

(passer, kicker and runner), "Pilky" is a candidate for a spot on the _NAI.A. All-American team. An outstanding athlete at Red Oak, Iowa, high school, and holder of the State 50-yard dash record. Ross is married to the former Pauline Carlson of Red Oak. He plans to coach and teach history. Neale A three-year letterman is Dick Neale, a 1957 graduate of Bellevue High School. A real plugger, l Dick has been dependable at both the halfback and fullback spots. 'In his college football career, Dick has proven himself worthy of the sportsmanship award he received in high school. A history and physical education major, Dick plans to teach.

If anyone has noticed a stranger on campus, don't be alarmed; Norman Catlett shaved his mustache. Delzell has two intramural touch-football teams by the names of Delzell One and Delzell Two. Delzell One is managed by Roger Smith and Delzell Two

is managed by Jerry Partridge. In a game b e t w e e n the two teams, Roger Smith's team won by a score of 15 to 0. The lounge of Delzell was filled during the world series. The world series was a major topic of discussion for most dorm residents. Room five wants to pass a sure way of combatting ants .to other dorm residents. They have conducted an all-out defensive battle. They have prepared a moat by placing the legs of chairs in coffee cans filled with water and have hung food from the ceiling.

NOTES FROM MAJORS By Darrel Wolcott One fellow who makes "horsing around" pay off is Howard Engberg. It seems he won 1st place trophy in the "open stick race" at the Cass County Horse Show in Plattsmouth, Aug. 9. The Majors Hall football squad defeated the Independent team 19-0 in an Oct. 4 game. Henry Turner zeroed in on Larry Rathe with two passes for two TD's. He also hit Jack Johnson for another TD and the extra point. Jim Kemp and Ray Plankinton's car went to Auburn th e other night. Jim came back but Plankinton's car didn't. Upon finding the battery was dead, Jim and passengers had to get a ride back to campus with someone else.

Hastings College's Ron Barry galloped a total of 123 yards in three touchdown plays to pace the Broncos to a 19-7 victory Saturday, Oct. 1, over the Peru State College Bobcats in the Peru Oak Bowl. Despite 20 first downs gained by a total of 73 yards passing and 221 yards rushing, Peru State could not muster the gains needed at crucial moments to score more than one touchdown. The Bobcats were plagued by the loss of two fumbles and three pass interceptions. Barry's first trip across the Bobcat goal line was on a 32yard run with 4:44 left in the first period.

LIBRARY COLUMN By Linda Bertram

Dorothy Nyron. has compiled A Library of Literary Criticism. This comprehensive, authoritative, and easy to consult volume is a survey of criticism centering on one hundred and seventy American authors who wrote or came into prominence after 1900. These critical excerpts have been taken from the writings of outstanding critics in periodicals and books. Every major literary performance of the last sixty years is evaluated in this volume. Bibliographic information gives the source of more detailed criticism. The Breaking Point by Daphne du Maurier is a collection of nine short stories. These stories are characterized by intense and interesting plots. They are marked with overtones of terror, mystery, wry humor, and haunting recapturings of childhood. The nine stories range from "The Blue Lenses," a terrifying account of a strange sense of vision, to "The Menace," a funny story of movie idol. In the Waters of Kronos Conrad Richter tells the story of John Donnor's journey back through time to the town where he was born. He feels that this trip might make him free from a deep malaise. When he makes the journey· he is an old man. He finds himself in his own life at the time of a double crisis. As he tries to enter his old intimate family, he is rejected. Even the boy he was considers him a stranger.

Campus School Chatter

Paul H e u e r are co-editors. Haven't heard who will replace Mr. Masek and Jim Christ behind the camera. Its a real job recording memories for posterity. Mrs. Friest reports that she has 11 in her Latin class-all workers apparently or she wouldn't have been so pleased. Those -home economics people are no pikers-already yet a tea for 7th and 8th grade mothers. Just another step toward facing teas and open houses in college and adult life. The freshmen have now been initiated--i!ito high school at a dance after the Dawson-Verdon game. Besides such tricks as having to dance without shoes, singing the color song (have yo u heard Prep Color Song? Homecoming bonfire is a good place for it.) and such, each one was sentenced for a crime. Several had. to wear an apple all day Monday because they were "apple-polishers"; those who had to wear onions committed the awful crime of flirting too much with upperclassmen; being too noisy in halls drew cheerleading for punishment; and those too eag'er in football had to do calisthenics-"let the punishment fit the crime?" At least the jury sided with the freshmen-they didn't have to be slaves for the seniors (which in my case would have been drastic, having both a senior and a -freshman at home). The days are flying by-Homecoming is upon us-no queen yet, but display theme is_ "Song" and the high school band is on the march! The freshmen are desperate for cash-call upon them for any raking you need done, any Saturday. (Advertisement)

By Mary Anna Gnade Action on the football field is thrilling to players and spectators, but have you noticed how hard the alums play? Those recently on the field for dear ol' Prep run up and down with each play on the sidelines; older alums do their playing sitting in cars or bleachers-but if you're near 'em, you know they once gave all on the field, too! After a glorious start to a football season in which potential stars began to shine, Prep went to Table Rock to be ground under. A mangled c o 11 a r b on e blacked out Tom Boatman's star for the rest of the season. This makes the second season injury has sidelined his enthusiasm for the game-books, here he comes. Speaking of football, have you noticed the noon hour games on the driveway in front of the campus school? You know the way a football bounces-and a truckload of glass parked nearby! In case of a tackle on the margin of the walk, both players roll down the slope-for 1\ gain or loss? Visiting politicians may not have made much of an impression in the younger grades, but Mrs. Iversen has her 5th graders divided into two parties. They decided that Chris Maxwell would be Kennedy; Bonnie Biere, Johnson; Georgette Gomon,' Nixon; and Marcia Lewis, Lodge. The class members are to watch debates, newspapers and magazines and bring information to the proper candidates. Speeches will be made and if enough sample ballots are at hand, voting will take place at the correct time. Mrs. Christ's 6th graders are also following p o 1i t i c a 1 events. (Having a 5th and 6th grader is one sure way of not sluffing off information about the election.) Here's energy, dedication to satisfying seeking young minds, or "got another minute you want to fill?"-Principal Buethe mentioned that if anyone were interested, he'd teach 'em about slide rule Thursday noons. Full house! And the new slide rules really fascinate. And the high school will have a yearbook-Dave Gomon and

Al Wheeler Becomes Athletic Director After Successful 23 Years Coaching Wheeler Has Produced Great Football Teams And Fine Athletic Program at Peru State Al Wheeler, head f o o t b a 11 coach at Peru State Teachers College for the past 23 years, recently announced his retirement as head football coach at the end of the 1960 season. The announcement came at a luncheon gathering of his 1960 football team and a host of former lettermen . preceding Peru's homecoming tilt with Nebraska Wesleyan. Wheeler's retirement from the gridiron does not mean that he will be absent from Peru State and the Nebraska College Conference. He will continue as athletic director, head of the physical education department, and head baseball coach.

Gomon Praises Al Commenting on coach Wheeler's retirement, Neal S. Gomon, president of Peru State, stated: .. "Al Wheeler's decision to retire from active football coaching is entirely his own. It is doubtful if any college in the country, large or small, can match the successful football record of Pe::ru State during the last 23 sea. ~s. Although Al has compiled ~- tremendous record as a winning coach, his greatest contribu>'tion has been in the development Âˇflf hundreds of young men as eutstanding teachers and citi~ns. I am happy that he w i 11 continue to head our health and fhysical education p r o gr a m s which are second to none in the ~a." Gomon went on to say that a successor would be named flt a later date. Dean of Coaches Wheeler, often referred to as Dean of Nebraska College ference football coaches, has ed a most enviable gridiron rd in his 23-year reign at . Including six games of the season, Coach Al has won games, tied 12, and lost but During this period he led his cats to five conference chamships and to two co-champi"ps. The championship years in 1939, 1940, 1942, 1952, 1953. The co-championships urred in 1942 and 1951. The 2 season saw the Wheeler tie for the conference pionship and win the state . One of Wheeler's m o s t orable feats came between season in 1951 and a similar in 1954. This three-year Âˇ d saw Wheeler coach the ts to a winning skein of 26 ries without a defeat. Durthis streak of success, Wheelas named "Coach of the Year Nebraska" by the Omaha Id-Herald in 1952, and the year was selected the "Lit11-American Coach of the " by the Rockne Club of as City. ccess a n d organizational ty has brought W h e e 1er y important offices. In 1953he served as president of the .I.A. He served as District .I.A. chairman for 12 years, was a member of the organin's executive committee for years.

Student Senate Brings Jimmy Dorsey Band The Jimmy Dorsey band, under the direction of Lee Castle, has been contracted by the Student Senate to play a two hour concert in the college auditorium November 29, 1960. This is one of the top-name bands in the U. S. and it is a privilege to have them with us. The concert will begin at 8:00 p.m., and the price of tickets will be $1.75 for reserved seats and $1.25 for general admission. Admission to a show of this caliber would cost three or four dollars anywhere else, so it is hoped that all students will take this opportunity to see and hear a fine band.

Bobcats Beat Wesleyan Plainsmen Before Large Homecoming Crowd Victory Puts Cats in Running For Nebraska College Conference Championship

"Meller Drammer" Was a Crowd Pleaser By Herb Brown At 7:00 p.m. October 22, the Peru State Dramatic Club presented its annual homecoming play. This year's selection was a three act "Meller Drammer" entitled "No Mother To Guide Her: or More To Be Pitied Than Censured" by Anthony Forsythe. Spring Overton, played by Rose Clancy, was the beautiful heroine. Spring, at various times in the play, suffered a blow on the head, a loss of memory, a murder charge, a drugged glass of milk, and the attentions of both the villain and the hero's father. C asp er Vandenburgh, played by Steve Parker, in true heroic fashiorr proved steadfast in his faith in Spring. Talbot Twillingham (Ray Meister) proved just as steadfast in his efforts to besmirch the heroine's fair name. Sylvester Vandenburgh (John Biere) and his wife Effie (Melissa Fulkerson) enlivened the situation when Effie continually i n t err u p t e d the would-be Romeo. Rounding out the Vandenburgh household were Hadley the butler (Allen Nelson) and Fifi the French maid (Joan Wesolowski). Other members in the c as t were Carol Eynon, R o b e r t a Thomas, Sandra Stephens, Linda Nygaard, Alan Wheeler, and Lois Fritz. Intermission music was by the College Orchestra conducted by Victor H. Jindra and the. Barber Shop Quartet directed by Ed" ward G. Camealy. Robert D. Moore directed the play. The production staff included Chick Stessman, James Christ, and Julie Mayer. The sound effects were the courtesy of the audience who in true Meller Drammer fashion booed and hissed the villain, while cheering the hero.

Carlile and Levitt Discuss Photography The Sigma Tau Delta program was opened by Joni Wesolowski. She introduced the guest speakers, Mr. Don Carlile and Mr. J. D. Levitt. The speakers' topic was photojournalism. They explained the use of pictures in journalism. Also discussed was what makes a good picture. Pictures were then shown illustrating their points. Those present were reminded that monthly meetings are open to all who are interested. After adjournment, the group met in the Bob Inn for coffee. Austria and Frante; vegetables from Bolivia, Uruguay, and Ecuador; a salad from Hungary; breads from Italy and the United States; desserts from Norway and Alaska; and beverages from Brazil and the United States. Tickets may be purchased from organization members or reserved by calling Tr2-2811. The general public is invited.

By Bob Fisher The Peru State Bobcats capitalized on their .own alert play and costly Nebraska Wesleyan mistakes to build up an early 26 to 0 lead and go on to defeat the Plainsmen 47 to 12 in the 39th annual Peru State Homecoming Oct. 22 in the Oak Bowl. Peru State's Al Wheeler, after announcing his retirement as head football coach at the end of the 1960 season, led his charges onto the home field for the last time, and the Bobcat gridders responded immediately by recovering a Wes1eyan: fumble on the second play of the game at the Lincolnites' 18-yard line. Eight plays later, Falls City's Ron Kelley cracked over from the oneyard line,/for the opening touchdown with but 4:53 of the first quarter played. Shortly thereafter, Dick Place gathered in a Plainsmen punt on the Wesleyan 42 and. scampered to the Wesleyan 3-yard line be-. fore being downed. Workhorse Ron Kelley plunged over from the 1-yard line with 6:30 remain~ ing in the initial quarter. T he extra point was good on a pass from Ross Pilkington to Falls City's LaMarr Gibson, and the score stood 13 to 0. Peru's own Jerry Henning pilfered a Wesleyan aerial and scampered 24 yards for the Bobcats' third score with 5:18 left in the first quarter. A short kickoff followed and Peru recovered on the Wesleyan 49. Bob Gibson, the younger half of the Falls City Gibson duet, culminated the 49-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge into scoring territory. Lynn Osterholm kicked the first of his four extra points for the afternoon, and Peru had a 26 to 0 bulge early in the second stanza. Nebraska Wesleyan entered the scoring fray with 12 :24 remaining in the half on a beautifully executed 43-yard pass from quarterback Bob Els to Ron Peet. The Wesleyanites had to wait until midway in the final period for their last touchdown. That came on a 16-yard sweep by fullback Dan McCord. Peru's other touchdowns came on an 18-yard pitch from Bob Gibson to Fullerton's Dick Gerber in the second quarter, Bob Gibson's 4-yard dash just before the half, and a 20-yard pass from Falls City's Ron Kelley to Dick Gerber in the last quarter. Peru's strong line led by veteran ends Dick Gerber and LaMarr Gibson, tackle Vernon Thomsen, a n d guard Mike Ramirez, was a major factor in the victory. The victory placed Peru in the lead of the Nebraska Co 11 e g e Conference with a record of fom. wins and one loss. Wayne State,' who had been tied with the Bobcats, dropped into second place, as they engaged in non-league action Saturday. Peru's next: game is the vitally important clash at Wayne's Homecoming on October 29. Scoring By Quarters Peru ______ 19 14 7 7 Wesleyan __ 0 6 0 6 (Continued on page five)

STUDENT SENATE EDITORIAL By Ray Meister

NOTES FROM MAJORS

Is seems to be the opinion of some students on this campus that their Student Senate is not doing anything for them. A few facts should let the students know what this hardworking senate is doing behind the scenes. The half-time coronation of the Queen at the football game, -and the Homeco~ng dance festivities seem to have gqne over pretty well; this was all planned and executed by your Student Senate.

Darrel Wolcott

During Homecoming o p e n house, 208 guests signed the register at Majors Hall. However, a considerable number of guests did not sign, so that number of guests. is not acc\lrate. The s e guests represented six states, the most distant being Illinois and Oklahoma. After the game, four and one-half gallons of p u n ch and nine pounds of cookies were served. Tom Lowrey, Tom Morton, Howard Engberg, Joe Perina, Jerry Beecham, and R a y Plankinton had charge of the guest book. Glen Irwin and Mike Donavon served at the punch bowl.

Now, your senate has a truly great show for you. At 8:00 p.m. on November 29, the Jimmy Dorsey band under the direction of Lee Castle, will present a two-hour ~oncert in the colleg~ auditorium. The Dorsey band is one of the topname bands m the country and it is a privilege to have them with us. The· price of tickets will be $1.25 for general admission and $1.75 for reserved seats. A show such as this would cost three o~ four dollars anywhere else, so it is hoped the student body will take advantage of this opportunity to hear some excellent music. . By the .way, fellow Peruvians, how about showing a little mterest m. your Student Senate by coming to a meeting some Thursday night at 6 :30. The meetings are open to any student, and any constructive suggestions will be appreciated. This is your Student Senate, and it is here for your benefit.

With the Peru State 1960 football season at an end for Coach Al Wheeler and his Bobcats, it might be well to observe t h e season in a closer look. Coach Wheeler's team captured the Nebraska College Conference title by compiling a conference record of five wins and one loss. This along with a nonconference record of one win one loss and a tie established an over all season record of six wins two losses and one tie. In the season opener with nonconference Iowa Wesleyan, the Bobcats battled to a scoreless tie. The followirlg week in a home field debut, Peru roared to an exciting 46-0 win over St. Mary's of the Plains from Dodge City, Kansas. The firsf conference game of the season featured Peru's invasion of the Kearney Antelopes. The Peruvians dropped the Antelopes with a rousing 19-7 victory to gain a start for title honors. However, title aspirations were jolted the next week-end by the Hastings Broncos when they ground out a 19-7 victory o v er the Bobcats. Peru then travelled to Crete to play the pre-season conference favorite, Doane. The alert Peru State defense won the game by turning a Tiger fumble into a touchdown and later getting a safety for a 9-7 win. Chadron invaded the Oak Bowl on October 14, and the Eagles were unable to stop the Bobcats as they were crushed by a 20 to 7 score. The Homecoming Day game featured the Nebraska Wesleyan Plainsman at Peru. The Bobcats completely dominated the gam•~ by grinding out a 47-12 win before Peru alumni. The Wayne Wildcats were the last team to stand in the way of a share for the conference title. The Bobcats humbled Wayne by a score of 25 to 0, to gain a first place position. The following week-end, the Wildcats surprised Kearney to clinch the conference title f o r Peru. In the season finale, P e r u travelled to Oklahoma Panhandle A & M where the Bobcats were defeated by a fine Aggie football team. The defensive minded Aggies g r o u n d out a 20 to 6 victory over the Bobcats. This year's season reflects the spirit of the Bobcat gridders, who were forced to arise to the occasion often in order to bring the title home to Peru.

Trustee From the Toolroom, by Nevil Shute, is a warm story filled with the goodness, charity, and the best capabilities of man. In this book Keith Stewart led a happy though rather uneventful . life until his sister and brotherin-law went down with their sailing ship somewhere off Tahiti. He then became trustee for his ten year old niece. Stowed away in the keel of the lost ship was his niece's only legacy, and he was determined to recover them for her. Although his means were meager and his experience outside England were nil, with the help of old and new f o u n d friends, he recovered the legacy. Vincent Scully, Jr. has written Frank Lloyd Wright, In this book he considers the basic elements in Frank Lloyd Wright's culture, the sources from which it grew, and the images he sought to create. It shows how he combined his ideas and those from the past to form a unique and original piece of architecture.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Linda Nygaard Presidential elections, midterm exams, and state football championships are the main top~cs of discussion at Morgan Hall this week. There was a presidential poil taken on second floor and Richard Nixon won over John Kennedy. The ratio of voting was three to one. (I asked four people.) Donna Francis Thompson left the dorm to do her student teaching in Bellevue. She is teaching English and physical education. There were four birthdays in the cl.arm this past week. Judy Pollack was surprised with '.l party given by: Betty Painter, Nancy Sears, Lois Palmer, Ginny Adkins, B. J. Steele, Carol Eynon, Janice Tucker, Joan Pelton, Francis Sanders, and K a t h y Banks. Sharon Watton, Anna Shown, Judy Pollack, Betty Painter, Wilma Johnson, Sherrill Torring, and Linda Nygaard h e 1 p e d Jeanne Shuttlesworth turn twenty-one. The festivities included a cake, cookies, and picture taking activity. Sharon Watton celebrated with just about everyone on second floor. Again, there was a cake, some candy, and a good time to be had by all. All the gil'ls from first floor joined with Crystal Seegel on her birthday to make the celebration a memorable one. · Parties seemed to be the going thing this past week. Judy Pollack and Betty Painter had the only organized Halloween party. Those attending had to wear costumes. The girls began by trick or treating in the dorm, then they paraded through the halls a n d ended up at a seance. The seance was topped off with goodies bought by the girls at the party. Between parties, · the g i r 1s found themselves studying for mid-term exams. Reluctant as the girls were, their books were pulled from the shelves and dusted off for many long hours of studying. An informal poll was taken to see just what the reactions were to these "little" exams. Here are some of the comments offered. · "They are a good way to lose weight and sleep." "Exams are a good way to learn what you didn't, but should have learned during the first nine weeks." "Exams are like pills; some go down easy; others you choke on." "Mid-terms, what are they? I'm in shock." "What, me worry?" With that, I shall close with the words for today. "When you feel as though you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot in the end of it and hang on by y o u r thumbs."

Finally, Tommy and Jimmy decided to go their individual ways, and two fine orchestras emerged. Together and apart, the Dorsey Brothers sold a combined total of 110 million records, and many recording men credit Jimmy with the success and establishment of the juke box industry on a large1 scale. Jimmy Dorsey's recording · of "So Rare"' (1956) represented his first big hit in about 14 years, and is probably the one that is best known to the present younger generation.

Identification was immediately started. Class grouping was the next order of business. In order to have the job done by Thursday night, several staff members worked almost full time that day. Editor Kathy Rhoten and Copy Editor Darrel Wolcott worked in the morning and after no o Ii through the regular Peruvian editing class period. Layout Editor, Jeannine Ehlers, put in her time working on layout mats. At the class period, the rest of the staff joined and worked into the evening meal period. After dinner, Merlin Wright, Arlan Richardson, Deanna Donahoo and Darrel Wolcott stayed until layouts were complete and copy finished.

English Lit Class Hears Recordings Mr. Silas Summers, assistant professor of English, is planning to build up a collection of literary records now that he has a record player. There are only six records in the collection at the present time, but he has plans for many more records. He feels that this is a very profitable investment because the students will be able to hear the poems and other varied works as their authors intended them to be read. Mr. Summers has a 1r ea d y played some s e 1 e c t i o n s from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in his English literature class. Ezra-"Why do you call your girl friend 'Brown Sugar'?"

Japanese Woodcuts Now On Display An art exhibit of Japanese woodcuts is being held Nov. 6 through Nov. 16 in the art rooms above the library. These p r in t s are Ukujoescenes of daily life-portrayals which date from 1675 to the present day. Some of the more prominent artists exhibiting are Utamaro, Hokusai, and Hiroshige. The original blocks thcit the pictures were printed from were cherry wood which is very unusual. As many as twelve blocks were used for some of the prints to achieve the different colors and shades. This type of art is a result of the. artist trying to make inexpensive copies of his work available to the common people.

The Panhandle extra point kick went awry to leave the score knotted at halftime. No serious scoring threats materialized in the second half until late in the third quarter quarter. On the last play of the quarter, Linton broke loose from his own 28-yard line and sprinted to the Peru nine before being caught from behind by Peru's Sam Sadich, Wood River, Ill., halfback. Three plays later Linton scored on a five-yard plunge. Mel Begley kicked the extra point to give Panhandle a 13 to 6 lead. A thorn in Peru's side all afternoon, Linton gave the Oklahomans an insurance counter mid-way in the fourth quarter.

Cross Country Squad Fifth In Meet In their initial year of cross country running, the Peru State Bobcat thinclads found the going tough as they placed fifth in the five-team Nebraska College Con/ ference cross country meet at , Wayne, Saturday.

By Bob Fisher On a rain soaked gridiron, the Peru State Bobcats further dampened Wayne State's homecoming and 50th anniversary by dumping the Wildcats 25 to 0 Saturday afternoon, Oct. 29 at Wayne. The victory insured Peru of at least a share of the Nebraska College Conference crown and closed the door to Wayne's title aspirations. Kearney State can gain a first place tie with Peru if they can get past Wayne next Saturday.

the rest of the way into pay dirt. With only 1:18 left in the first half, halfback Place scored h i s second tally on a 9-yard pass from Falls City's Bob Gibson. Jerry Henning's interception of a Wayne pass set up the score. The final counter came with but 32 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Place broke through tackle, slid to the outside and outran the Wayne defenders in a 30-yard romp to finish the tarnishing of Wayne's golden anniversary game.

An all-morning rain, which ended just prior to game time, thoroughly muddied the playing field, but the adverse conditions hindered the talented .Bobcats little as they scored all f o u r touchdowns in an explosive fashion. Dick Place led Peru by scoring three touchdowns. The Nebraska City star opened the scoring just before the end of th e first quarter by hauling in a 29yard aerial from quarterback John Christensen,. Nebraska City. Lynn Osterholm, kicking specialist from Glenwood, Iowa, split the uprights with the extra point. That was the only time Osterholm could get enough cooperation from the slippery turf to complete the extra point placement. Peru's second T.D. was scored by giant Ken Dostal from Scribner. Early in the· second period, Dostal blocked a Wayne punt on the Wildcat 49. End Dick Gerber, Fullerton, scooped up the loose pigskin and raced to the 25-yard line, where, as he was being tackled, lateraled to the 6'6" Dostal and the big tackle rumbled

Peru's fine defensive unit again earned p 1 a u d i t s . They held Wayne to only three first downs, none in the second half, and to a total .offense of 75 yards.

The Bobkittens relentlessly marched for touchdowns through the entire game with J e r r y Reeves, outstanding. Prep halfback, scoring three times during the contest on runs of 38, 60, and 23 yards. ' The game was entirely Peru's both offensively and defensively. Repeatedly defensive tack 1 e s Fred Shirley and Keith Marnell broke through the Antler line to throw Elk Creek's major threat, 6-6, 235-pound Rich Knippelmeyer for losses. Elk Creek's only touchdowns came in the fourth quarter when Bobkitten coach DeZwarte swept the bench. The scores were made by Knippelmeyer on a 38-yard run and a three-yard plunge. Other Prep scores were made by Bob Peck, Pat Morris and Paul Heuer. Al Wheeler converted twice to furnish the e x t r a points.

Campus School Has ALibrary Council By Sandra Craig A new organization at the campus school this fall is the Library Council. I.t i~ comprised of a boy and girl from each of grades three through 12. The members selected must have read and rep~rted 25 books. The council will meet four times a year. They will' discuss reading problems and work on upgrading the entire reading program. Now in use in the elementary school is the S R A reading program. Its purpose is to improve the rate of reading as well as comprehension. The material is used for 20' weeks in one grade and passed to the next. The junior library has be.en moved from the college library to the campus school. Library participation will now be easier for the grade school students. Tryouts for junior high cheerleaders were held Friday, September 30. Chosen by the students were Nancy Adams, Karen Beaty, Brenda Blanton, D an a Henry, and Lavonne Stephens. The girls made their debut at a pep rally held before the Johnson game.

Six Campus School Seniors Take American College Test The American College Test was given for the first time in Peru Nov. 5, 8:00-12:00 a.m. Seniors eligible to take the t e s t were: Sara Adams, David Gomon, Pat Morris, Paul Heuer, Linda Jean Stephens and Robert Gnade. The tests are concerned almost exclusively w it h generalized skills and abilities rather than the specific content of the high school curriculum. Colleges use the test results for: pre-college and on-campus counseling, placement, granting of loans and scholarship awards and admissions.

The upper one-third of the ior class also participated i Regents Exam Nov. 2. Mr. the gave the test to David mon, Elaine Gerdes, Robert de, Sara Adams, Linda Jean·. phens, Virginia Cockerham, ; Mary Ellen Wilson.

Sponsored the Student Senate at Peru ate, the two-hour concert will 'gin at 8:00 p.m. · '.The first Dorsey Brothers mu..cal group, called the Dorseys' pvelty Band, had its beginning ·: 1922 at Shenandoah, Pa. It was t until 1934 that their orchescame into being, after the . others played with name bands that period. The Dorsey name music dates even farther back ; their father, Thomas Dorsey, ., who was their music teacher.

That first Dorsey orchestra featured Bob Crosby as their vocalist, Ray McKinley as a drummer, and the late Glenn Miller played second trombone. By 1936, the Dorsey musical tradition was established to continue for an entire generation. After the Brothers band went their separate ways, two fine orchestras emerged. Together and apart, the Dorsey Brothers sold a total of 110 million records. Under the direction of Lee Castle, the 15-piece Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, and Letti Luce, are keeping the Dorsey music traditions alive .

The Student Senate is conducting a fund-raising campaign for the World University Service. A collection will be taken up at the Alumni-Varsity basketball game November 28, and again at the Tennessee A & I game Dec. 10. The World University Service is under the United Nations, and is the only group which directs all its efforts to the university student. Forty-one nations, both donating and receiving nations, belong to the Service. The funds are sent to students who otherwise would be unable to stay in school because of some national crises. A good example of the work of the Service is that following the Hungarian revolt, the Service sent money to place the university students in schools of different nations. This aid is given in such a way that it helps th e students to help themselves. The principal fields of action of this non-profit, non-governmental organization are: problems of student lodging and living, student health, individual and emergency aid, supplying textbooks and other equipment necessary f©r an educational program. ' In a nation where education is more or less taken for granted, students should feel a concern for our peers · who must go through many hardships to get an education. With your contributions we can help the W.U.S. in its fight against poverty, disease, ignorance, and despair in the international community of students. This is especially important in this atomic age when there is a "race between education and catastrophe."

which encircle and engulf us? How often does one sit back and drink deeply of His blessings? Not often! People are too self-centered. We feel that the Lord <:lwes us a comfortable living, since He put .us on this earth. The truth lies to the contrary, however. We owe God for giving us the opportunity to live on His beautiful earth and to develop ourselves into useful beings for :flis service. Life is His greatest blessing, for without it we would not be. In addition to the gift of life, God endowed us with talents. No one is without talent. Not everyone is able to write a "William Tell Overture" or create a masterpiece comparable to Leonardo Di Vinci's "The Last Supper." Your talent may be one such as cleaning the streets. Whatever your talent, develop it well and thank God for it and life. SENATE STUDIES CENTER PLANS By Ray Meister Gary Stover, Darrel Feit, Gladys Monahan, Joan Riggle, and Mr. Holmes attended a Student Senate Conference at Concordia November 18 and 19. Representatives of senates . from other Nebraska colleges also attended this conference. Thirteen separate group conferences were held which dealt with such problems as activities, orientation and initiation, and functions of a Student Senate. It is hoped that ideas brought back from this conference by our representatives will help us in reorganizing our Student Senate and make it what it should be, A STUDENT GOVERNMENT, instead of a "crepe-paper decoration and dance committee!" December 2 and 3, Ray Meister, as Student Senate representative, will accompany Dr. Wininger and Mr. Holmes to Wichita, Kansas, where they will attend a Student Union Conference. The purpose of attending this conference is fo obtain ideas on how to run the new Student Center, and how to correlate the Student Senate with other student activities.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Linda Nygaard Turkey time! Here and gone entirely too fast. I guess the little vacation did everyone some good, considering the things the coeds did. Here are a few of those things: " ... locked myself up in a room away from all the noise." " .. : ate, ate, ate." " ... recuperated from the first part of the semester and tried to prepare for the last part." " ... took up a collection for "underprivileged" turkeys who did not make it to the table this year." The rooms in the new wings are just about finished. It will not be long now until each floor enlarges! Only one comment to that, "Now there will be more space for the noise to go, so we can all be noisier." The girls can brag about some new frilly fabrics in their laundry room. It has now made this part of the dorm "strictly private." Francis Sanders celebrated her birthday with the help of 12 girls. They had quite a timk. ' Also celebrating a birthday on second floor, we find Mary Lou. Reid the center of attraction. All the girls there brought an insignificant gift. Winnie Sporer had a party, too, to help ring in her next year of life. Bev O'Hara, Betty Coulter, Carolyn Powers, Judy Sanders, and Deanna Donahoo were there to help her celebrate.

Gosh frosh! how'd you catch on so quick? Catch on to the fact that Coca-Cola is the hep drink on campus, I mean. Alwayi drink it, you say? Well-how about . · dropping over to the dorm and downing a sparkling Coke or two with the boys. The man who's for Coke is the man for us.

By Gerald Kirkendall

Coin Operated - Automatic Laundry OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY

A painting project is in progress at Delzell Hall. If you need your room painted, don't get overly anxious; you must await your turn. Robert Reitz, Rex ·Rhodes, Roger Smith, and Arlin Stuhr went deer hunting during the week-end. I wonder if they found any "dear" on their expedition. Woe unto you if you are going steady. You may be thrown into the shower. Ask Dennis Crawford. The final outcomes of the intramural touch-football teams were Delzell Two-1-4-1 and Delzell One-f-3-1. Now that football is over, almost everyone is juggling his schedule in order to participate in intramural basketball. · If you want a tip on a good movie, Arlan Richardson recommends that everyone see "Elmer Gantry." If you enjoy relaxing and listening to music, you should visit James Mayo. I warn you, though, he may give you a sales talk. He has a good stereophonic hi-fi that he would love to sell at a low price.

The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, directed by Lee Castle, played to a half-full auditorium Tuesday evening, November 29. The 15-piece orchestra and vocalist Letti Luce presented traditional Dorsey music: Jazz, old favorites, and Dixie Land. The orchestra played "I Hear a Rhapsody," "J. D.'s Boogie Woogie," and a unique arrangement of "The Bells of St. Mary" by Billy Finnegan. Castle and his orchestra also played selections from their latest albums "Just Swingin" and "Goodies But Gasers." One highlight of the evening was the presentation of. Jimmy Dorsey's last great hit, "So Rare." Lee Castle, conductor and star of the orchestra, joined Jimmy's Dorsey's orchestra in 1948. In 1953, with the merger of Tommy and Jimmy's bands, he became featured trumpeter and musical director. During this time he studied with Thomas Dorse;, Sr., father of the famous brothers. "I was always sort of a third son," said Lee. With the death of Tommy in 1955 and Jimmy in 1956, he was the logical one to take over the organization. Since then, he and the orchestra have been keeping the Dorsey tradition alive. The music is the same that was used by the Dorseys. "Even the stands and some other equipment are t h e same," stated Lee. "This is a hard w o r k i n g group," said Lee. "We work 52 weeks a year." The tours last for four months. Then it's back to New York for two weeks. In between tours they make their recordings. After stops at Hastings, Lincoln, Des Moines, ,and Chicago, they'll be in New ¥ork. Soon after, they are slated to appear in Las Vegas. M.E.N.C. PLANS CHRISTMAS DANCE

David Si$sons; visiting professor at the Far Eastern and Russian Institute, University of Washington, Seattle, was the guest speaker at a convocation on December 7. Mr. Sissons, a native Australian, is a graduate of Scotch College and the University of Melbourne. At the close of World War II, he served in the Australian army as a Japanese translator. Since, he has studied in the field of Japanese-Australian relations. For the past three years he has done research at the Institute of Social Sciences at the Tokyo University. His topic was the economic and geographic conditions of his native country. He pointed out that Australia is much like the middle states in the United States. It is primarily an agricultural country. He told how schools differed in his country. In the high schools the boys and girls go to separate schools. College takes five years. All courses last at least one year. A certain number of courses are needed depending upon the major. These are all worked out before. The government selects students to train for teaching careers. For these students the government pays the expenses during the five years of college. Mr. Sisson spent two days on the campus observing our school.

LIBRARY COLUMN By Linda Bertram

Helen Topping Miller has written Nightshade, another intense and dramatic novel dealing with the ambitions, fears, conflicts, heartaches, triumphs, and defeats of man. In this book the members of the Dr. Jonathan Strong family walk the narrow line constantly bordering on tragedy. Henry C. Wallich in his book, The Cost of Freedom, has arrived at 'the conclusion that freedom comes at a cost, not a profit. This timely book is a significant contribution to one of our greatest debates today-shall we because of the rapid growth of other economies change the basic ideas of our economy. The author contends that the challenge is to go forward with the hard, deliberate processes of change that will produce rising welfare and equality of opportunity without destroying initiative and incentives. Hobbies, by Margaret E. Mulac, is a book offering helpful advice to teachers, parents, an d leaders of recreational groups of many kinds. In her book she discusses more than a hundred hobbies. In addition she explains the rewards and accomplishments of the creative use of leisure time.

NOTES FROM MAJORS By Darrel Wolcott "Best dressed" award goes to Jack Johnson. lt seems at the Delzell Christmas party Sunday night, Dec. 4, Jack showed up attired in suntan trousers tee shirt, sport jaek~t-and tie. Drexel Harvey had worn the items but "chickened out," so Jack took over. The informal dress of the hosts and guests at the Delzell party had nothing to do with the spirit of the thing, though. It was a first-class gesture worthy of , a first-class, "Thanks!" · After a week's,stay in an Omaha hospital as the result of an auto accident, Chick Stessman is back on. campus. A new calendar is needed in room 214. Dorm counselor Roger Eshelman posted notice of room inspectiqn for Thursday, Dec. 7. Someone very quickly pointed out that, consequently, room inspection could not take place. Naturally, a few "kind, helpful" criticisms were written on the notice. A couple of Peru's good-will ambassadors, Gary Stover and Butch Whitfield, displayed their pantomiming talents at the exchange convocation at Hastings on December 2. When Mrs. Donovan started to set up an electric train in her living room, she had to explain that she wasn't in her second childhood but that she was taking inventory for possible sale of the outfit. Remember, he who laughs, lasts.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Campus School Chatter By Mary Anna Gnade The Christmas season must be here-classrooms in the Campus School b 1 o s s o me d out with "trees" on Thursday, December 8. From past years, I know that Christmas ornaments will make the trek from home to school, that small fingers will manufacture attractive decorations, that the air of anticipation will balloon almost to the bursting poi:qt. Names have been exchanged -and already some gifts are wrapped and waiting for the day-before-vacation Christmas party. Kindergartners are making tree ornaments from styrofoam and colored picks to be used first on the school tree, then to b_e displayed at home during holidays. Little fingers fashion quite acceptable take-home gifts. for parents and if ambition and materials last, for other family members.

Progressive Science Program Being Used In The Campus School B. A. Eddy, elementary principal, reports that the science program being used is quite progressive. It is the type used in many Eastern schools. Nine units are used throughout the year. Each year, more advanced knowledge in each area is added. The topics studied are: Living Things; Keeping Healthy; Using Electricity; Lifting and :fy!oving Things; Using Heat, Light and Sound; Common Chemical and Physical Changes; The Atmosphere; The Earth and, The Earth and Space. The purpose of this program is to get away from the single text. The program helps develop science concepts and allows for individual differences.

White Angels Hold ·Meeting The White Angels met Dec. 7 in the recreation room of Eliza Morgan Hall. Connie Erisman read the demerits and explained the demerit system. The bonfire will be held behind the girls' dorm Saturday, December 10th at 4:30. Sandy Stephens, Julie Mayer, Judy Adams, and Rita Grandge.nette volunteered to make signs welcoming the teams we play. Mary Ann Lewellyn and Sandy Pearson will rope off the section for the Tarkio game and Jeannine Ehlers and Sherrill 'rorring will rope off the section for t h e Tennessee A & I game. The meeting closed with the White Angel song.

Newmanites View Film On Marriage Joe Barrientos, vice-president, presided over the November 30 meeting of Newman Club. The group saw a film on the sacrament of marriage. A question and answer period· followed. Approximately fifteen members will attend the Newman Club Convention in Omaha. Members will invite guests to a Christmas dance or party to be held sometime before the Christmas vacation. The meeting closed wiih a prayer.

Chorus Rehearses "Messiah" "The Messiah" was rehearsed December 1, by the Peru State College Chorus directed by Edward G. Camealy. The following selections from . the Christmas portion were rehearsed: "For Unto Us a Child is Born," "Glory to God," "Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs," "Lift Up Your Heads, 0 Ye Gates," and "Hallelujah."

The sophomore class is sponsoring the Christmas dance and plan to feature a large Christmas tree, as part of the decor. It's a little hard to make the transition from grade schooler to high schooler especially at this season, meaning they'd still like to exchange names and party. At least this year no one will miss class time because of rehearsals for a Christmas program-no allschool performance this year. Prep basketball team is off and rolling (bouncing, I should say)if they can keep it going they'll have another trophy for the case And the girls have volley ball well underway, too, working for that tournament placing in the spring.

Christmas Greetings From The Pedagogian Staff

Faculty Christmas Tea Held at Morgan Hall December 15 marked the day of Eliza Morgan Hall's annual Christmas Tea. Each year the freshmen and transfer student girls invite a faculty member or secretary from the office to be their guest at the tea. The girls make arrangements with their guests to meet them. The coeds then play host and escort their guests through the dorm. A refreshment table and musical program complete their visit. Sandy Pearson, social chairman, included every girl in a committee to help make the day run smoothly. ·'The committees included servers, hostesses, cake cutters, and dish washers. Christmas songs were presented by Edna McGovers, J o y c e Carman, Joan Pelton, Sharon Watton, Duane Hemminger, Delores Spilker. Rose Clancy read the Christmas story. This helped add to the success of the afternoon. Six girls' rooms won prizes for being "the best-decorated." To designate the winners, a candy cane was placed on their doors. Even though only six rooms won prizes, they were all decorated in a beautiful manner. The decorations went from the simple to the elaborate with s o m e having Santa Claus Jhe center of attention and others usihg the Manger scene. This was a dress-up affair and everyone left with the true Christmas feeling.

'Twas The Night Before Vacation" In Ye Olde Eliza Morgan Hall The Merry Lads and Lasses. Had A Big Ball By Linda Nygaard

'Twas the night before vacation, and all through the dorm, Not a girl was sleeping; they were waiting for morn. Their suitcases were packed with feminine care In hopes that they had everything to wear When out on the triangle there rose such a clatter They sprang from their cards to see what's the matter. Away to the window they flew in a flash, Bumped into the radiator and fell with a crash! The moonlight on the ground was a sad sight to see, No snow was piled up as they hoped it would be. When what to their wondering eyes should appear? Delzell and Majors spreading some cheer. The leader was caroling in an old fashioned way, . While the chorus of men· joined "in 'til break of day. More rapidly than eagles the choruses did come, And they sang and sang until they were done. To the top of the hill, now to the snow fence, And then a few girls used some good sense And called for Mrs. Fulton to beg no offense. Then in a twinkling, we heard from below, The song of yule-tide coming up slow. As we drew in our heads and turned around, We found half of second floor were on their way down. We were dressed all in robes, with our hair up in pins, And those smarty old boys wore superior grins. All around the piano we did then meet, While the girls came in with something to eat. Our droll little mouths were drawn up like bows, And for the first time, we didn't miss the snows. We laughed and sang; a good time was had by all, As in unpoetic terms, "We really had a ball." As the time wore on, and the dark turned to light, The boys all left and were soon out of sight. But we heard them exclaim as they left us that night, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

NOTES FROM MAJORS By Darrel Wolcott Henry Turner, who has been practice teaching in Syracuse, was on campus the week-end of December 10-12; · "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," as the song goes. It did for Majors' residents on Thursday, December 8. A quantity of paper caught fire in the paper chute and emitted volumes of smoke throughout most of the building. It was later discovered that a waste paper can .had lodged in the chute. Jerry Osborn, with his guitar, has. been providing accompaniment for Christmas carol singing on second floor. Anyone interested in a Christmas goose-stuffing and allmight contact Darrel Feit. The goose is ' already stuffed-by a taxidermist. Although nature can seldom be improved, the spruce in the solarium presents a pretty sight. Halos of blue light shine through the "angel hair" covering the eight-foot tree. On the coffee table is an arrangement of ornamental bulbs· and evergreen. Small Christmas symbols 1 i n e the window ledges of Mrs. Donovan's apartment and the office. Girls! Be on your toes.

Mrs. Morrison, and Miss Bradley. These gifts were purchased and presented on behalf of all the girls. We have a new member. in Eliza Morgan Hall. Her name is Mrs. Morrison. She will be taking Mrs. Fulton's place as Mrs. Fulton will' be leaving us right after the holidays. I would like to take this time to say how much we have enjoyed having Mrs. Fulton with us this semester, and that we will miss her very much. On the other hand, welcome to Peru, Mrs. Morrison! We w i 11 really enjoy having you as our new "mother" away from home. Deanna Donahoo has left us to go to work. She is presently employed by Western Electric. I won't even try to mention all the holiday parties. I'll just be general and say that everyone has been to a Christmas party in the dorm. There was an exchanging of gifts, memories, goodies eaten, and carols sung. Third floor has stq.rted something new and different. They are having a "peanut and shuck" contest. Each girl in the west wing is a peanut and has h e r shuck. The shucks give their peanuts small gifts, make their beds, write them notes. This is all done anonymously. The girls will re. veal their identity at their Christmas party. Christmas time is here again, So let us leave Peru with a grin. And when we come back January third, Let the joys of the season still be heard. Merry Christmas Everyone ! ! !

Tigers Tame ~cats In Home Game 78-66 By Bob Fisher Combining s p e e d, d e a d 1 y shooting accuracy, and rugged rebounding, the talent - 1 a de n Tennessee A & I Tigers administered a 78 to 66 defeat to the Pe· ru State Bobcats at Peru, Saturday night, before a standingroom-only crowd. The Tennesseans broke to an early 4 to 0 lead on two buckets by giant 7'1" George Finley, before Peru cracked the scoring column on a hook shot by B o b Buettgenbach, Beatrice. That was as close as .the outmanned but game Peruvians came to knotting the score all night. Midway in the first half the Bobcats suffered a scoring drouth of 3:15 and the Tigers spurted to a 15-point lead. At the intermission, the three-time N.A.I.A. tourney champions held a 42 to 28 marg.in over the homestanding Bobcats. In the second half it was the same story as the powerful A & I quintet held their lead and at one point bulged it to a 77 to 55 margin. The never-say-die Peruvians spurted in the last three minutes, looking for the first time like they had lost their awe of the potent Tennesseans, to close the gap to the final 12-point margin. Heading the A & I scoring attack was guard Porter Merriwether who counted 21 points.

level of the Center. It will be ready for use by January 16.

The one large table and three smaller tables of the private dining room are of teakwood. Sand beige walls are accented by white drapes on the south wall. The drape liner, which is hung on a separate rod, facilitates better light adjustment. Simi 1 a r /drapes are planned for the entire ~outh wall of the building.

A temporary game room can be found in the T.V. lounge. Dr. Gomon said that the game room, which is directly under the student lounge, should be ready for use by the summer session. The Ped and Peruvian will move into new quarters by the entrance of the snack bar as soon as furniture arrives.

About forty-five tables, each seating four are found in the main dining room. The north and south walls are glass. The serving area, which cannot be seen from the dining room, is to the west.

Mrs. Douglas, supervisor of the snack bar and cafeteria, said the new building will permit much better service. All new equipment in the snack bar will make it possible to serve a greater variety of food.

The lower floor's southern exposure overlooks a walled court area which will be paved with flagstones, landscaped, and used for outdoor dining. Completion will be delayed until at least June, 1961. The book store is on the lower

New in the kitchen is a time clock, loading dock, and elevator, which will carry food to the upper level for serving. Waterless steam tables in the serving area will keep food hot. An inter-com system will be installed later to permit easier communication be-

tween the upper and lower levels in the j{,jtch~n. Fi.:. Mrs. Marfon .Gomon has been appointed temporary director of the Student Center. She will arrange social events, supervise the game room and lounges, and assist students and visitors in getting full utilization of the buil,ding. The directors office, which is on the upper level, will be open from 3 to 5 p.m., except Sundays, and from 7 to 10:30 p.m., except Saturdays. Dr. Gomon had this to say about the Center: "This is an entirely new facility and maybe some of the rules will need to be changed. I hope that students and faculty will use and protect the new Student Center." What remains of Mount Vern'On will soon be torn down. The job should be finished by spring. This will enable workers to complete the concrete terrace around the student lounge.

Steve Parker, photographer for the PEDAGOGIAN and the PERUVIAN, shot this view of the Student Center and the addition to Eliza Morgan Halt two structures of which Peruvians are proud.

The Play's Not Over Yet Not very long ago PSTC was sadly lacking in physical facilities. There was a fine spirit, a dedicated faculty, a capable administration, and many other non-physical assets; but all Peruvians could do about the phyiscal plant was to apologize for the present and to hope for a better future. The last building to be erected on the campus was Delzell Hall, constructed in 1939. '

The end of the v a c a t i o n marked the "beginning of the end"-of the first semester, and almost everyone is "keyed" for the big "wind-up" session. Back from student teaching off campus are Henry Turner and Steve Banks. For some, such as Alan Wheeler, Jim Kemp, Steve Banks, and Bob Fisher these final two and a half weeks since Christmas put the finishing touches on their education here at Peru and mark the start of a new life. Good luck "on the outside," fellows. Of course, there are also the seemingly inevitable a i 1men ts that occur. Harry Whitney finally walked that "last mile" during Christmas vacation, and had his shoulder dislocation operated upon. Two down, no more to go, Harry! Jack Johnson got a "fat" ankle during ·the' Wesleyan game. Jim Kemp had to have an infected tooth treated; and Pat Cooper showed up with a rash. Maybe you're allergic to exam w e e k , Pat. You know, a dormitory is not just an inaminate object. It 1s a home for human beings, and these human beings are what actually make up a dormitory-not the brick and steel and wood that went into its "shell." On the basis of that statement, Majors Hall is a dormitory-and a good one, because the men in it have lived together well this past semester. It is to be hoped that this will always be true. Remember, as Katy O'Connor says, "Stay happy!"

Prexy Is "Man of the Year

"I certainly appreciate it." That was Dr. Neal S. Gomon's comment when Carroll Lewis presented the Peru Kiwanis Club's Citizenship Award for 1960 to P.S.T.C.'s president at the club's December 20 meeting. Dr. Gomon repeat~d his note of appreciation when "The Peru Pointer" named him Man of the Year, Thursday, January 5. While glad to receive the double-barreled recognition, President Gomon feels that the honor should be divided among all who have strived for Peru's growthin both college and community. The Kiwanis presentation cited the educator's outstanding community service. In 1 en gt hie r terms "The Peru Pointer" noted Dr. Gomon's lead role in boosting the town's economy, the completion of a $1.3 million building program, and Boy Scout work in the Cornhusker ·Council. During the Gomon administration, Oak Hill, Peru State's housing for married students, w a s completed. 1960 climaxed the president's bu i 1 d in g activities with completion of the A. V. Larson industrial arts building, the new Student Union Center, the Majors dormitory for men, the enlargement of Eliza Morgan dormitory for women, a new roadway to the Oak Bowl, the acquisition of land along the Avenue for a new Campus School, new heating facilities, and new parking areas. During the past year, Peru State Teachers College has con-

tinued to show a steady enrollment increase. Dr. Neal S. Gomon is now serving as president of the Nebraska Association of Colleges and Universities. The recently honored educator brought his family, Mrs. Gomon, Tom, David, and Georgette, to Peru in 1950 shortly before he was elevated to the presidency of the local Nebraska State Teachers College. Prior to his arrival here, Neal Gomon had served as teacher, school superintendent, and with the State Department of Education. He had a bachelors and masters degree from the University of Nebraska. Since his coming to Peru, he has received a doctorate from the same institution.

Fifteen Degree Candidates , Will Be Honored In Convocation Fifteen degree candidates will be given recognition at the Feb'ruary 1 Honors Convocation at Peru State Teachers College, according to Dr. Neal S.

LET'S SUPPORT ACTIVITIES "Very stirring," was Drexel Harvey's comment as he left the Auditorium following the Vets Club sponsored movie "The Last Hurrah," starring Spencer Tracy. ' The Peru Vets Club has shown two movies for the benefit of college students on this campus who complain of not having anything to do around here. At the first movie, an attendance of 27 students was registered. This' small "crowd" caused the Vets to lose approximately $20. "The Last Hurrah" drew a "crowd" of eight! This means a loss of nearly $25 to this club which is trying so hard to do something for students on campus on these cold, winter evenings, so that they don't just sit around and sulk! Fellow students, I ask you, isn't it easier and cheaper to go to a Vets Club movie, than to drive clear to Auburn or Nebraska City, and pay twice the admission price to see the same quality picture that the Vets Club is showing for only 35 cents? The Vets are trying, but they need your support, so how about giving them a little of it and show your appreciation, if you have any? -Ray Meister.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN

By Susan Sharp .second semester has brought many changes to Morgan Hall. Rooms and roommates h a v e shifted, six new girls have taken up residence, and ten have left. There· are now 135 women living in the dorm. New dorm residents are Sharon Donlan, Eagle; Nancy Frey and Mrs. Ronald (Colene) Hoffman, DuBois; Carolyn Mercer, Omaha; Linda Hagen, Springfield; and Joan Vo tr o u be k, Barneston. Those not returning this semester are Carolyn Armstrong, Deanna Donahoo, Joan Dyer, Kathy Rhoten, Kathy Kopplin, Coleen McQueen, Anna M a r i e Stoddard, Donna Francis Thompson, Ruby Smith, and Judy Pollock. Two girls received engagement rings along with the customary cold showers. They were Joan Pelton, who is engaged to Dennis Fisher, Virginia, and Darlene Critel, who is engaged to Duane Hemminger, both students on campus. Recent activities have included many parties. There were many all-night sessions to usher in the new semester. There were also a number of birthday celebrations, including those for Julie Mayer, Sandy Pearson, Karolyne Powers, Kathy Banks, Kay Parli, and Bette Coulter. Bev Leper and Bonnie Collins have a sure-fire solution for those

eager beavers who wake you up an hour early. They hang the culprit in effigy, (a stuffed teddy bear). This cold weather makes every window a little deep freeze. and many girls take advantage of the cold storage space. One problem which arises is that glass bottles often explode and small j u i c e cans burst under changing temperatures. Did you notice the screen full of orange juice on third floor. One of the girls had a long distance phone call from Walt Disney last night. It seems that Tinkerbell is ill and he needs a new fairy. Some lucky Peruvian may be on television soon.

Read The Party of Canton's, by John Aldridge to find out what happens at faculty social get-togethers.

Delzell Doings Two things are adding color to Delzell Hall this semester. First, we have a few new faces roaming around the halls. Second, the rooms are being given a fresh coat of paint. Duane Hemminger was given a shower by a few of his friends in recognitiqn of his recent engagement to Darlene Critel. Glen Beran, Keith Hawxby, Jim Yelnek, Norman Catlett, Dale Pflaum, Stan Geer, and Wendell Armstrong administered the bath. The 7:50 class has often been a discussion topic on the Peru State Campus. Therefore, a survey was taken to shed light on this subject. What do you think of 7:50 classes? "Hard to hack," Russ Godberson. "I love em,'' Jim Hurst. "They're too early for Mexicans," Mike Ramirez. The men of Delzell have been given many strange nicknames already this year. The following are just a few examples: Dave (Barffy) Malmberg, Ed (The NoDoze Kid) Rohlman, Joe (Tommy Tractor) Lee, Bill (Willie LumpLump) Springer, Clinton (Bozo) Bletcher, D e n n is (Crayfish) Crawford, Richard (Little Napoleon) Shuman, Art '(Spoon) Howell, Norm (Marshal Troop) Catlett, Arlin (The Bear) Stuhr, Glen (Bubbles) Beran, and Galen (Genghis) Conn. As you roam down the halls of Delzell it is impossible to keep from hearing someone complaining about something. The following suggestions were made by the men of Delzell. 1. Serve breakfast until 9:00. 2. Sell stamps in Delzell. 3. Put a Coke machine on third floor. 4. Install showers that won't clog up. 5. Put soap racks in the showers. 6. Get some hot water in the dorm.

Recent Wins Giye Bobcats Top Ranking As the Ped went to press, Peru's Bobcats were leading th e NCC race. Action last week brought important changes in the NCC standings. Peru's Bobcats vaulted into first place as the result of their 84-71 win over Doane and the 88-68 bombardment of Nebraska Wesleyan. The wins shot the Bobcats record to 7-1 in conference play and 11-5 for the season. Kearney, deadlocked a week earlier with Peru for the loop

lead, tasted defeat when Hastings managed a 78.-69 victory over them. The defeat slid Kearney into second place with an NCC mark of 5-2. The biggest surprise of the season has been Wayne State. Cochampions last year, the Wildcats were counted on as the team to beat in the current race. However, they now hold a record of 3-5. Chadron State turned killer as they hammered out two ten point victories over Wayne last week-end in Chadron.

Kittens Nip Wolves 54-51 In a thrilling conference victory, Tuesday, January 31, the Peru Prep Bobkittens nipped the Dunbar Wolves 54-51. The contest, played on the Peru maples, was a close cage battle from start to finish with neither team pulling ahead more than seven points. Al Wheeler was high for the "Kittens" with 19 counters, followed by Tom Boatman, who garnered 12. Danny Paap w it h 21 points was the leadin.g scorer for the Wolves. The Prepsters led the Wolves at the end of the half 26-28 b u t dropped behind 41-44 at the end of the third period. The hopes dimmed for the Bobkittens when leading scorer Al Wheeler w a s lost on fouls with four minutes left in the last quarter, but the Prepsters n e v e r relinquished their le.ad.

By Jack Johnson Peru State's undisputed hold on first place in the Nebraska College Conference came to an abrupt end Saturday night, January 28, at Wayne when they fell to Wayne State 67 to 61. Peru broke early to build up an 11 to 2 advantage in the first eight minutes before Way n e found the range for their first field goal. Wayne began to click behind the amazing shooting of Dick Goede, a 5'8" freshman, who scored ten consecutive points to put. Wayne into a 21 to 18 lead with 6:24 remaining in the half. Peru's Bob Buettgenbach, then scored seven points in a three-minute span to put Peru ahead 25 to 23. Wayne led briefly again at 27 to 26 before the Bobcats surged to a 34 to 29 halftime lead. The Bobcats held on to the lead until Ron Raver hit two free throws with 8:04 remaining to give Wayne a 48 to 46 edge, a lead they never relinquished. The key to the Wayne State victory was at the free throw line as they connected on 23 of 30 attempts. Little Dave Goede led all.scorers with 28 points, while . Bob Buettgenbach and Drexel Harvey scored 18 to 14 points for the Bobcats. Peru (61) fg Rathe --------Harvey -------Buettgenbach -Roach --------Yopp ---------Stessman -----Totals

AROUND THE CAMPUSES

By Ron Pethoud The Midland-Congratulations to head basketball coach, My Draemel, for receiving the Omaha World-Herald's "State College Coach of the Year" award for 1961. Draemel is the first Midland coach to be named the recipient of the award which was started in 1951. The Hastings Collegian-One unique tradition in Clark Hall at Hastings College is the pinning ceremony. When one of the girls receives a fraternity pin or an engagement ring, her dorm sisters are called down to t he i r lounge to celebrate. The owner's identity remains a secret while the girls form a circle. Then the room is darkened and the pin or ring, tied to a candle with ribbon, is passed around the circle. On the second round the girl blows out the candle to claim the ring or pin. She is duly congratulated and shares a box of chocolates with her dorm sisters to celebrate.

The Wayne Stater-As a publicity stunt for Morey Hall's third Playboy Party, three hoodlums and two flappers, dressed in 1920 style, robbed a bank in Wayne. They got away with a suitcase full of money. The president of the State National Bank had given smiling consent to the whole idea. One henchman held the bankmen off with a genuine "Untouchables" toy machine gun while the other two brandished pistols. The bank presidents, secretaries, and employees were all hustled into the back room. Another henchman and his moll were scooping play money into a suitcase and one asked, "Do we want the pennies?" They mad e their escape in a shiny black limousine, leaving the bank employees doubled up with laughter.

By Sandy Craig The annual Martha Washington Silver Tea was held Tuesday, February 21, in the home economics suite of the C a mp us School. Sixty-five persons were served cake made from Martha Washington's original recipe. In the summer of 1941, Miss Edna Weare, now professor emeritus of home economics at Peru State, and five students attended a national home economics convention in Washington, D. C. While there, they vi'sited Mount Vernon, home of George and Martha Washington. In the museum, they saw Martha's recipe for "a great cake." They copied it and brought it back as a souvenir. In order to try the recipe, they planned a tea. The cake, weighing 35 pounds, and the tea have become a tradition. Bernadette Gallagher and Mary Jarvis headed the decoration committee. To permit ease in serving, a box cover was decorated in icing as a replica of Mount Vernon. Jeannine Ehlers, home economics club_ president, and Mrs. Sproul, sponsor, termed the tea a success.

Delzell Doings By Gary L. Brown Every room on third floor of Delzell Hall has been given a fresh coat of paint. Tli.e rooms on second floor are presently being painted, the first floor will be painted next. Bridge is becoming the spare time and week-end game in Delzell. Charles Schott, Dale Rocchietti, Larry Widrig, Dennis Peterson, Dick Brown, and Gary Brown have been seen playing an occasional rubber. Ron Pethoud received quite a shock the other night, as he was struck on the head by a mattress dropped from third floor. Don Mach, who was talking to Ron at the time, was missed completely by the falling mattress. There are quite a few loyal supporters of the Peru Bobcats here on campus. About twenty of these loyal supporters attended the Bobcats' game at Kearney. Mike Ramirez, Larry Rebuck, Richard Shuman, Ken Rhodus, Rex Rhodes, and Gary Brown were Peru's representatives at the game. irom Delze:;. T'nanks for

L. B. and Ruth Mathews, who will retire May 31, look over p for their retirement home on their 49 scenic acres overlooking; Missouri River near Peru.

After a total of 76 years teaching service in Nebraska and 53 years at Nebraska State Teachers College, Peru, L. B. and Ruth M,athews will retire May 31. The Mathews, natives of Blue Springs and graduates of Peru when it was a Normal School, returned to Peru in 1927 to begin their long tenure at their alma mater. In announcing the . Mathews' retirement, Dr. Neal 's. Gomon, president of Peru State, said: "L. B. and Ruth Mathews have been instrumental in developing and maintaining a sound educational program for the young people served by the College. They have been capable, devoted, dedicated and loyal teachers. Their impact on the lives of hundreds of young men and women is reflected daily in classrooms across the state and nation." Mr. Mathews' duties at the college have ranged from Campus School principal and supervisor of science, registrar, director of the placement bureau, to his present position as associate professor of physics. Mrs. Mathews first served Peru State during the 1927-28 school year as professor of rural education. She returned to teaching in 1943 to "substitute for a few weeks" during the war emergency. Her present title is assistant professor of health education. The Mathews are graduates of the University of N e b r as k a where both were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Mathews holds his M.A. degree from Columbia University and Mrs. Mathews has completed graduate study in health education at the University of Nebraska, and was elected to the Society of Sigma Xi. The 1951 Peruvian, co 11 e g e yearbook, saluted the Mathews' devotion to Peru State, in dedicating the yearbook to them. The dedication, in part, reads: "Both Mr. and Mrs. Mathews have demonstrated their ability to make lasting friendships with students and have gained the respect and admiration of those with whom they have worked." Mr.. and Mrs. Mathews each taught two years in rural Gage county schools. While at Peru Normal, Mr. Mathews served as a substitute science teacher at Syracuse during the last quarter of 1914-15, and completed his work toward his diploma at Peru the following summer. He taught science at David City from 1915 until 1918, when he resigned to serve with the armed forces in France.

Campus School Chatter

On Honor Roll

By Mary Anna Gnade Because of the 24 hour s 1 i c k winter, the after-game d a n c e was called off depriving the senior class of anticipated funds. Now begins the season when the HS seniors dream up all manner of means to raise money for the last of school TRIP. They are now accepting orders AND money for sweatshirts imprinted with a bobkitten and "Peru Prep.' The ice also involved third grader Mary Rodgers in a threecar accident near the 6-mile corner, but she missed only one day of school. When the frost came out of the ground, sure enough small-sized tracks squished across the lovely muck under the library windows (and I'll bet there were no overshoes, either). Paging Mr. Levitt - future freshman varieties talent paraded across the stage at the FHA Variety show. However, this crew was rewarded with candy at the end of the evening. Mr. Buethe does everything possible to spark int e r est in study. This past week he had a visiting consultant on science who spent time in classes an d then interviewed those especially inferested and capable out of class. Then with all the excellent films and other A-V aids Mr. Eddy brings in, our campus schoolers are at least aware that science is fascinating if they want to probe a little.

The following students of the Peru Campus High School are on the honor roll for the first semester's work. To be on the honor roll, a student must have an average of a B or higher in his academic subjects. 71:h Grade Nancy Adams Danna Henry John Kite_ Robert Milstead Robert Wittee, Jr. 8th Grade Patty Adams Karen Beatty Sharon Beatty Brenda Blanton John Mcintire Gary Milstead Lola Morrissy Steve Snyder Mike Tynon James Wilson 9th Grade Ann Adams Linda <::ombs Jeannie Gnade

Coach Jack Mcintire, who has brought Peru iwo NCC champion· hips and one co-championship in five years of basketball coaching.

clntire Has Most Successful Season By Jack Johnson Coach Jack Mcintire reached into his bag of tricks again t h i s season and came up with the Peru State Bobcats. most successful basketball season since 1950. The 'Cats won the Nebraska College Conference Championship with a record of 10-2, and the National ssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics District 11 play-off by defeating Nebraska Wesleyan 7761 and Midland College 77-65. This year is the first time since 1950 that a Peru team has qualified for the Kansas City tournament. Peru's over-all record this season is 16-6. After suffering a disastrous 8-17 record his first year at Peru, Mcintire has brought his won and lost mark for his five years at Peru State to 86 wins and 42 losses. In three of the last four seasons the Bobcats have been the N.C.C. champions, but have been stopped short of winning a trip to Kansas City. However, this season the Bobcats "met the challenge" against the Midland Warriors in the District 11 playoff finals and are on their way to the big tourney. A main cog in Mac's success as a basketball coach is his ability to develop great pivot men. This year he brought Bob Buettgenbach from a reserve to a 20-point per game scorer and to an AllN.C.C. selection. In the last three seasons Peru has had a pivot man on the All-N.C.C. team. Next season the Mcintire men should be the team to beat in the N.C.C. due to the return of the entire starting five. Mcintire is now serving as president of the N.A.I.A. Coaches

Association. In 1957, he w.as appointed by the N.A.I.A. to the Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame. A native of Nebraska City, Mcintire earned letters in football and basketball during his high school career. As a s.tudent at Peru State, he earned three letters each in football and track and four letters in basketball. For three years he w a s named to the All-N.C.C. teams of the Sunday Lincoln Star and the Omaha World-Herald for his outstanding success in football and received honorable mention two years in basketball. During his senior year he was named to the All-N.C.C. team of the same newspapers. For his participation in football and basketball during his senior year, Mcintire was named Bert E. Swenson, Jr., award winner, an honor which has been given annually since 1925 to a junior or senior who has lettered in at least two different sports and judged outstanding on t h e basis of character, personality, scholarship, and loyalty to school traditions. Before taking the reins at Peru as head basketball coach in 1956, Mac was on the Falls City High School faculty as head coach, a position he held for ten years. His basketball teams produced 126 wins against 47 losses and his football teams won 71 and lost 17. His track teams won ten straight South-east conference championships. In June 1955, Coach Mcintire was named "High School Coach of the Year" by the 0 m a h a World-Herald and "Prep Coach (Continued on page two)

Kappa Delta Pi Beta Mu Chapter Holds Banquet

Buettgenbach and Roach All-Conference Yopp and Rathe Get Honorable Mention

By Sandy Craig The Beta Mu chapter of Kappa Delta Pi held a banquet March 6, 6:00 p.m. in the college cafeteria. The purpose of the banquet was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the national organization. Mrs. Neal Gomon was mistress of ceremonies for the evening's program. ' She introduced Mrs. Wilma Stutheit, who gave statistics concerning Kappa Delta Pi. Mrs. Stutheit told the group that the Peru chapter was founded in May of 1.929 and is the oldest chapter in the state. Joyce Carman sang two original songs. Miss Carman accompanied herself. Kay Rassmusen read a speech, "The Accomplishments of Kappa Delta Pi," which was written by Gleri Irwin. Judy Miller, accompanied by Mr. Robert Benford, presented a violin solo. A speech by Darrel Wolcott entitled "Famous Kappa Delta Pi Members" was read by Miss Miller. Spring pledges were then introduced by Miss Alma Ashley. They are: Mrs. Gladys Ackley, Pauline Fink, Elaine Hinton, and Sandy Craig. Miss Ashley a 1 s o introduced Mrs. B. B. Tyler whose husband helped organize Peru's chapter. Mrs. Tyler told of her experiences concerning the first meeting. The program was followed by a business meeting in the meeting room of the Student Center. The trip to the regional Kappa Delta Pi meeting at Kearney was discussed. Several members plan to attend. The next meeting will be April 12, 8:00 p.m., at which the pledges will be initiated.

St. Patrick's Day Dance To Be Held March 17

"Arsenic and Old Lace" Scheduled For March 16

The Home Economics Club and Epsilon Pi Tau will sponsor the St. Patrick's Day Dance Friday, March 17. Tickets may be picked up at the Student Union Office. Pre-sale price of tickets will be fifty cents; admission at the door will be seventy-five cents. The Starlighters will. furnish music. The dance will begin at 9 p.m. in the Student Union.

Morrison Will Speak At Dedication A. D. Majors Hall for men, the Student Center, the addition to Eliza Morgan Hall for women, and -the A. V. Larson Industrial Arts Building will be dedicated in the college auditorium Sunday, April 16, at 2 p.m. Governor Frank Morrison has been invited to speak at the dedication. Carl Spelts, president of the state normal board, and Dr. Freeman B. Decker, commissioner of education, have also been invited. Music for the occasion will be provided by Peru's fine arts department. Open house will be held in the four buildings following the dedication. An informal reception for guests will be given in the Student Center lounge.

The Bobcats leading scorer, Bob Buettgenbach, Beatrice, and floor leader Mike Roach, Palmyra, topped the World-Herald's NCC All-Star Team. Bob's hook shot and Mike's long jumpers were "Mr. Inside" and "Mr. Outside" of the Bobcats and possibly the NCC. "Bitz," aft e r understudying Bob Mayo for 11/z years, provided the Bobcats with the "big punch" that proved to be the winning punch many times during the past season. His 6'8" frame makes h.is hook and jump shot nearly unstoppable. Bob's standout game this season was the Simpson College game of the Falls City Tournament. "The Tree" rjfilped -the cords for 32 points arid picked off many rebounds. His moves in the pivot earned him a season total of 438 points with 213 foul shots. His conference total of 243 was second only to Doane's Gene Velloff. Mike "Papa" Roach is t h_e "player that makes the Bobcats go." After transferring from the University of Nebraska, Mike became a "whiz kid" for the Bobcats. His aggressiveness and quick hands led to many stolen balls and baskets. Because of his fine play and floor leadership the Omaha World-Herald rated Mike as the "best all around performer of the NCC." Mike was the runner-up scorer for the Bobcats scoring 283 points on 22 outings and ranked tenth in the NCC scoring race. Also receiving recognition on the All-NCC team were Tom Yopp and Larry Rathe. Th e s e two Bobcats were named Honorable Mention for their smooth' and steady play throughout the (Continued on page two)

The Peru State B o b c a t s clinched the Nebraska College Conference championship Thursday night at Peru with an 82 to 72 bombardment of Doane College. Peru's starting quintet all scored in the double figures to offset a tremendous scoring exhibition by Doane's Gene Velloff who counted 35 poijits. A sluggish Bobcat team had to battle tooth and nail to go into halftime leading by a slim 40 to 37 margin. During the first five minutes the score was tied twice and the lead changed hands four times before a hook shot by Bob Buettgenbach, shot the 'Cats into a 13 to 11 lead-a lead t h e y never relinquished. Peru led by as much as eight points in the first half before a late flurry by Doane narrowed the halftime edge to three points. Peru continued to sputter in the early stages of the second half. With ~ve minutes gone, Larry Rathe, and Buettgenbach took over to shoot Peru into a more comfortable 50 to 43 lead. In the next nine minutes, Peru spurted to a 72 to 50 advantage and then coasted to the 82 to 72 conference clinching conquest. Tom Yopp keyed the Peru surge to victory by holding Velloff to only four free throws in the first 14 minutes of the second half. The talented Tiger h a d hammered in 13 points during the first 20 minutes of play. With Peru leading comfortably 74 to 52 with 5:44 remaining, Veloff went wild to hit 18 points before the final buzzer. Paul Kersenprock, followed Veloff with 21 points for Doane. ' Peru's Buettgenbach led the Bobcats with 22 points, and was ably seconded by Rathe's 17 tallies. Drexel Harvey and Mike Roach contributed heavily to the victory with their sharp rebounding and ball-hawking tactics. tp PERU (82) fg ft Rathe --------- 7 17 3-3 Harvey ~------- 7 14 0-1 Buettgenbach -- 5 12-13 22 Mayo ---------- 3 0-0 6 12 Roach --------- 4 4-4 Yopp ---------- 5 1-1 11 Totals _______ 31 DOANE (72) fg Velloff ________ 11 Kelley --------- 0 Sieber --------- 1 Parker -------- 0 Kersenbrock --- 7 Rivers --------- 2 Andrews ------ 1

Peru Tromps Midland Wins N.A.I.A. Play-offs And Trip To Kansas City By Jack Johnson Nebraska College Conference champion Peru State sped to a 77 to 65 win over Tri-State winner Midland College Thursday night in Lincoln's Pershing Auditorium to win the District 11 N.A.I.A. playoffs and a trip to the N.A.I.A. tourney in Kansas City. The quick, aggressive, and opportunistic Bobcats splurged. to a 34 to 26 halftime margin, killed a Midland bid which brought the Warriors to within 46 to 47, and then capitalized on frantic Warrior fouling to earn the Kansas City berth. Coach Jack Mclntire's battlewise Peruvians never trailed in the contest as they broke into an early 8-1 lead on three fielders by hustling Tom Yopp, and charity tosses by Bob Buettgenbach and Larry Rathe. Midland rallied several times during the first half to surge within two points before Peru's _speed and ballhawking paid off with the eightpoint intermission bulge. Big 6-7 LeRoy Hulsebus canned six fielders in the first seven and one-half minutes of the second half to spark the Midlandite's rally which brought them to within 46 to 47. The Bobcats refused to fold and again spurted ahead to a 57 to 46 advantage in the next three minutes. Peru State's rally was

Jack Mclntire's Peru State Bobcats cleared the first hurdle in the District 11 National Association of Inter-Collegiate Athletics Play-Offs in Lincoln's Pershing Auditorium Tuesday night by defeating Nebraska Wesleyan 77-61. The Peruvians, winners of the Nebraska College Conference crown had littfe trouble downing the Plainsmen. Drexel Harvey's shooting boosted the Bobcats to a 40-27 halftime lead, as he ripped six field goals on 1 o n g jump shots. Daryl Mitchell was the sparkplug for the Plainsmen in the first twenty minutes as he scored 13 points. After intermission the Bobcats hustled to a 51-29 lead. Wesleyan couldn't manage a field goal until 11:11 remaining in th.e game; at that point Ron Gillham scored on a long jumper. Coach Mcintire substituted freely from this time on and his Bobcats coasted

On the out-of-bounds play, Rathe whipped in a two pointer to bring the Bobcats to 57 to 46. Thirteen of Peru's last twenty points came from the foul stripe as smooth ball handling dictated Midland's fouling in order to get their hands on the elusive ball. Larry Rathe paced Peru w i t h 21 points, followed by Buettgenbach, Yopp, and Roach who hit 19, 17, and 14 respectively. fg PERU (77) Buettgenbach -- 4 Harvey -------- 1 Roach --------- 4 Rathe --------- 5 Yopp ---------- 8 Mayo -------~-- 0 Gibson -------- 1

Peru Beat Hastings 71-60 Sparked by guard M i k e Roach's. 23-point production, the Peru State Bobcats closed out their regular season play Friday night at Hastings with a solid 71 to 60 triumph over the Hastings Broncos. Having clinched th e Nebraska Co 11 e g e Conference championship one night earlier against Doane College, the Bobcats needed this win to remain three full games ahead of second place Kearney and Wesleyan. Peru never trailed in t h e contest, and Hastings evened the score only once-that coming with the score knotted at two all. With Mike Roach, and Bob Buettgenbach, showing the way, Jack Mclntire's Peruvians sprinted to a 23 to 13 lead midway in the first half. Capitalizing on foul shots in the late stages of the first quarter, Peru whipped to a

43 to 26 halftime margin. The ball-hawking 'Cats iced the game in the first nine minutes of the second half as they raced to a 27-point margin of 62 to 35. Peru kept its lead above 20 points until only three minutes remained in the game. Hastings hit ten straight points in the final three minutes to bring the score to a more respectable 71 to 60 finale. Despite hitting 54 per cent from the field, accurate f o u 1 · shooting keyed the Peru State victory. Each team connected for 23 field goals, but Peru canned 25 of 34 free throw attempts while Hastings converted 14 of 23 charity tosses. Tom Yopp shot a torrid field goal pace, hitting 5 for 5, while Roach cracked 11 of 15 attempts from the f o u 1 line. fg PERU (71) Rathe --------- 3 Harvey -------- 2 Gibson -------- 0 Buettgenbach -- 7 Mayo ---------- 1 Roach --------- 6 Stessman ------ 1 Yopp ---------- 3 _______ 23 Totals

Officials Attend Things Are The Same AACTE Meet By Sandy Craig It's nothing new for the Bobcats to beat Midland in the tournament pla:y-off. Midland was defeated by Peru in February, 1923. TI?-ese statistics came from the February 28, 1923 Ped. At first glance, it looks like we are slow readers. But this Ped ha s been stored away for many years. It was brought to the Pedagogian by Charles Caverzagie. He found it in the attic of his aunt, Mrs. Luva Kelly Wyatt of Falls City. Charles says he isn't sure where his aunt got the copy of the Ped; she was never a student at Peru. A closer look at the old Ped revealed it was addressed to Carroll Lewis. Mr. Lewis said he was cashier in the Bank of Peru at that time. The Ped was sent to him because of the ad the bank ran in the paper. The bank is now headed by Mr. Lewis. At any rate, it's nice to know the Bobcats are keeping up the tradition of winning championships.

Officer O'Hara (Robert Mulder), a would-be p 1a y wright, comes back and finds Mortimer bound and gagged by Jonathan and Dr. Einstein, who h a d planned to slice him up. They convince the officer that Mortimer had been demonstrating a play which he had viewed. Officer O'Hara relates his play to his "captive audience" for several hours. Lieutenant Rooney (Jerry Littell) bursts in, recognizes the Boris Karloff face of Jonathan and arrests him. He does not believe the story about the bodies in the basement even though the aunts tell him so. He is convinced of their insanity. Martha and Abby sign papers so they may be committed along with Teddy, whose term in office has expired. Before they leave, they tell Mortimer that he is not really a Brewster, but was adopted as a baby. The scene closes as Mr. Witherspoon (Jim Yelnek), the superintendent of the asylum, is taking a glass of their famous . elderberry wine. Abby and Martha were determined to break their tie with Jonathan's total of twelve murders. The success of the play w as aided by James Christ's lighting and Haney Milstead's stage managing. In charge of the properties were Carol Eynon and Joan Wesolowski. Lois Fritz was assistant director.

Sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta, this 24-page issue will contain both short stories and poems. "Sifting Sands: A Book of Verse by Students and Faculty of Peru State Teachers College" made its first appearance on the campus in May of 1936. Its a r t editor was Miss Norma Diddel. World War II forced the first suspension of the campus literary magazine. After the war, publication of "Sifting Sands" was resumed, but the Korean conflict put it out of commission once again. Now, nine years later, the tradition has been revived. Your view of "those things which belong peculiarly to us because they are the children of our hands and brain" will cost twenty-five cents a copy.

Melvin and Langham Attend Conference Dr. Keith Melvin and Max Langham attended the National Conference on Higher Education in Chicago, March 5-8. The theme was "Goals for Higher Education in a Decade of Decision." There were 36 discussion groups and five general sessions. There were also sessions on research and other timely topics. An exhibit of some 300 books on higher education was on display at the conference. Published reports in proceedings of all groups and sessions are available to the faculty through the dean's office and the library.

THANKS, ANGELS, DEVILS, AND SENATE Hats off to the Student Senate, Blue Devils, and White Angels for their financial contributions toward transportation to the N.A.I.A. tournament in Kansas City. The Student Senate allotted an amount for each student to defray the cost of the buses and tickets. The Blue Devils and White Angels paid part of the expenses of the buses used. This action was in the true spirit of the purposes of these organizations. If, at times, we forget just why these groups exist, this exhibition of their jnterest in student activities should bring their services back to mind. They saw the need to promote a large following to this important tourney and helped make it possible for many to go who otherwise would not have. The next time one of these organizations asks for support in some of their undertakings, perhaps it would be good to remember this. -Darrel Wolcott.

DELZELL DOINGS

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN

By Gary L. Brown

By Susan Sharp

Things are finally back to normal since the basketball tourney. Jim Mayo says that our basketball team will go undefeated all the way next year, so he is reserving his room in Kansas City. We're with you all the way, Jim. Did you hear the latest? Lil' Abner finally got a new pair of shoes. It seems that we have a new sport developing in Delzell. A form of baseball, played with a tennis racket and ball, is the new sport. Rex Rhodes, a basement resident, asked me to ask that all games be suspended on Sunday afternoons, .during napping hours.

I hear that Norman Catlett is growing a beard because he likes to look grubby in the Spring. Having so many days off from school is the usual topic for discussion in the dorm at the present time. Therefore, I asked a few of the guys how they liked all this free time. Glen Beran-"! don't like it because I don't get enough sleep." Bruce Francey-"The days off are not long enough for people from New York to go home." Rex Rhodes- " M i g h t y fine, mighty fine." Gary Neddenriep-"! don't like them because they give me too much time to think." George Zwickel-"Due to the circumstances, they're too much, too fast, and too soon. Dale Rocchietti-"Good time to build snowmen."

Four of the girls from the dorm will be student teaching off campus this last quarter. They are Marilynn Giesmann, Elaine Hinton, Pauline Fink, and Rosalie Oestmann. Carol Ellenberger celebrated her birthday with her friends in the dorm. On the way back from Kansas City, Nancy Sears, Mary Lou Reid, Lynn Bailey, and Gloria Frankl devised a system using numbers instead of words f o r certain phrases. Better watch out when one of these girls says she is going to go "75." Lee Christen is wondering who stole the Easter bunnies: off of the second floor bulletin board. Winnie Sporer and: Penny Thorkildsen had quite a surprise when the mirror fell off the 'Yan and broke. It is unfortunate that they will have seven more years of bad luck. Jeannine Ehlers staged an "unbirthday" party for Joan Riggle and Gladys Mahoney. With this type of holiday in mind, one could certainly have a reason for a party anytime. There may be a traffic mishap in the halls if Joan Wesolowski doesn't get the horn fixed on her sportscar. She nearly collided with Rose Clancy and her truck. Many of the girls have acquired nicknames. Some of them are: Bonnie Jean Steele .... "B.J." Roberta Thomas ..... "Bobby" Kathy Dunahoo ....... "Tex" Judy Wolf ......... "Foxy" Carol McLain . . . . . . . . "Mac" Bev O'Harra . . . . . . . "Harry"

AROUND THE CAMPUSES By Ron Peihoud The Hermes-The men of Dana campus raided the girls' dorm. The men were so swift and quiet that the girls didn't realize what had hit them until it w a s over. Considering the raid a complete success, the men went back to their dorms, not realizing what was in store for them. Within twenty-four hours, another raid was being planned. This raid was more deadly than Pearl Harbor. This time, the girls were taking action. The "Curvaceous Raiders" hit the boys' dorm the next night. They converged upon the dorm with "thundering hooves and hearty .screams." It came as a complete surprise to the boys who had just turned in for the night. One fellow was caught in the hall wearing his bathrobe and soon wound up outside barefooted in the snow. "Vengeance is sweet." The Midland-One of the boys of Midland had a slight accident at one of their basketball games. Instead of struggling to climb the crowded bleachers with a soft drink in each hand, he decided to take a short cut underneath the bleachers. Things became a little more complicated when he began seeking the right leg to pull, in order to have the two drinks rescued. He soon wound up "wearing" his refreshments. Could it be that he pulled the wrong leg? The Wesleyan-Stan Welch of Wesleyan offers the following apology to Peru's basketball players: "In the February 6 issue of the WESLEYAN, this writer was guilty of several rash statements relative to Peru State and the Peru basketball team. I admit to the writing of certain statements in a heat of emotions. These statements ware not written in the tradition of good objective journalism. I apologize to the Peru players for any statements in that column which were untrue."

Majors Hall was well represented at the N.A.I.A. tournament held in Kansas City on Monday and Wednesday. Almost every dormitory resident w a s present at one of the two games played. Guests of Majors Hall were two faculty and six members of Wayne's Epsilon Pi Tau Industrial Arts Fraternity F rid a y night. Majors Hall may be used as a women's dormitory this summer. Gary Stover, Butch Whitfield, Chick Stessman were in the play "Arsenic and Old Lace." Butch is still acting as if he were a cop! How about that Butch? Roger Eshelman was master of ceremonies at the joint WaynePeru Epsilon Pi Tau initiation. Drexel Harvey deserves a pat on the back for participating in the tournament with his sprained ankle.

Leroy Keyt Describes Larson Building and Tells You About Things To Look For At Open House In April The A. V. Larson Industrial Arts Building, located south of the Campus School on the west side of the Avenue, features beauty, safety, and utility. It is a 162 by 122 foot splitlevel building with two stories on the front or east, and one story on the rear or west. Lawn floodlights and spotlights on the front overhang reveal the brick veneer facing on exposed surfaces, trimmed with light green. Two front entrances give balance to the building. Fluorescent lamps and an ample sprinkling of windows, whose transparent qualities can be obscured by venetian blinds, expose vari-colored pastel walls and multi-colored floors. Slab marble paves the halls, while tile covers classroom and office floors.

Twelve flexible w or k tables occupy the center of the room, while basic tools and machinery flange the shop. The electric kiln, at the south wall, has been used for glazing slab, coil, and low formings. The crafts shop serves junior h i g h students, girls, and future elementary teachers. The main office facilities include three offices to the east, a reception room, and a rest room. ·Dr. Owen Harlan occupies office number two; the two remaining offices are unoccupied at present. The seminar room will serve industrial arts student teachers in the future. In this connection, it will be 'used for classes and conferences, with a pertinent library at the east wall.

Harlan Discusses Planning A recent statement by Dr. Owen Harlan points out the projective planning which has gone into this building. "The Industrial Arts Building was built not onry to meet present needs, but with flexibility and sufficient space to m e e t future needs brought about by incre·ased enrollment, changes in education patterns, industrial development, and an expanded industrial arts program." "Nothing is or can be accidental with God."-Longfellow.

Baseball Prospects Are Very Good

AUBURN

By Jack Johnson The Peru State Bobcats' role of giant killer came to an abrupt end Wednesday afternoon, March 15, as Grambling (La.) College crushed the Bobcats 80 to 60 in the second round of the N.A.I.A. tournament in Kansas City. Grambling's tall and talented Tigers were little impressed by Peru's opening round victory over fourth seeded Oglethorpe University as they spurted away from the Bobcats in the early stages of the game and led 39 to 22 at halftime. Fresh from their sparkling 10785 first round victory over Linfield College and with a 20-3 season's record, Grambling slashed to a 21-14 lead in the first nine minutes. Sweeping both boards cl~an, Grambling then held the outmanned Peruvians scoreless for five minutes while increasing their margin to 33-14. From then on it was no contest as the freewheeling Negro quintet fro m Louisiana thundered to victory. The battling Peru State cagers never gave up, but, the best they

By Tom Yopp Ten lettermen bolster the Peru State Teachers College baseball prospects for the 1961 season. These veterans will form the nucleus of what head coach Al Wheeler calls "potentially t h e best squad since we reinaugurated baseball four years ago." Returning from last year's Bobcat nine, who posted an 11-6 record, will be the entire outfield trio-Mike Roach, Palmyra; Larry Gilson, Fullerton; and Drexel Harvey, Hartford, Ill. Roach and Gilson are two-year letter winners, and Harvey a one-year lettermarl. Coach Wheeler calls this one of the best outfields in the Nebraska College Conference. Lefty Ron Kelly, Falls City, who posted a 5-1 record last year, will lead the mound corps. Dave Fritch, Atlantic, Iowa, another letterman due for mound duty, is expected to be a front line hurler. The Bobcat infield looks strong down the middle. Roger Smith, East Alton, Ill., and Bill Fitzgerald, Genoa, will be working for their third letters at shortstop and second base, respectively. A one-year monogram winner, Barney Mcllvoy, South Lyon, Mich., will be fighting for a second base slot. Another one-year letterman, · Jim Fisher, Falls City, will be in contention for the shortstop berth. Returning for his fourth year behind the plate will be Dick Gerber, Fullerton, who has earned three letters behind the chest protector and mask. Wheeler calls Gerber one of the best in the league.

A host of newcomers and returnees who have not lettered will battle the veterans for starting jobs. Infield possibilities are: Tom Yopp, East Alton, Ill.; Larry Widrig, Rockford, Ill., Gordon

Ohnoutka, Valparaiso, and Michael Hunt, Tecumseh. Outfield candidates are: Howard Engberg, Springfield, and Larry Cornelius, Pickrell. A number of fine mound prospects brighten the Bobcat outlook. These include: Jim Snyder, Nebraska City; Bob Reimers, Brock; Leonard Jacob, Council Bluffs; Calvin Hamilton, Clarinda, Iowa, a letterman at Northwest Missouri State last year; Jim Simones, Tekamah; and Jim Joy, Shubert.

Auf Wiedersehn, Prof. Rath Peru Band Tours Southeast Nebraska Once again the Peru Symphonic Band Ensemble has been on the go. This time it was for the annual spring tour. The thirtyfive members and their director, Mr. Gilbert E. Wilson, left by bus Tuesday, March 28 for a tour through Southern Nebraska. The first of the three concerts was played at Fairbury at 9:00 a.m. From there, they traveled to Hebron to play a concert at 11:00 a.m. The next stop was at the Longbranch in Hebron for a delicious meal. Following this, they proceeded to Deshler to play the final concert at 2:00 p.m. The repertoire for this year's tour included nine selections. Two of these, . "Soliloquy f or Trumpet" by John Morrissey and "Ode for Trumpet" by Alfred Reed, featured Don Johnson as solo trumpet player. Joining him in another of John Morrissey's pieces, "Concerto Grosso" were Robert Kaiser, a trumpet player from Auburn, and Hanford Miller, a trombone player from Peru. "Sax Soliloquy" by David Bennett featured the saxophone quartet consisting of Carol Sudik and Gaylin Sudik from Virginia, Wayne Wallace from Nebraska City, and Thomas Sheehan from Omaha. C 1 a r i n e t i st , Gary Schmucker from Brock, joined this group for David Schanke's selection, "Five Mellow Winds." The other selections on the program were: "Themes and Moods" by Miklos Rosza, "Themes from Caucasian Sketches" by Ippolitov-Ivanov, "Tango for Band" by Glenn Osser, and "Parade of the Charioteers" by Miklos Rosza.

By Ray Meister A friendly "Guten Morgen, Wie geht es Ihnen," and "Haben Sie seine Aufgabe gut vorbereitet'!" spoken with twinkling eyes is the usual greeting a student of German receives fro m Professor George Rath as he seats himself "in der klasse." Professor Rath, a man who always liked to make his students work, and who feels that perhaps he should have made them work harder, does not plan on being idle upon his retirement from the· Peru State Faculty. One year ago, his book "Klange der Seele," or "Sounds of the Soul," a collection of German poems was published. A book review in the Chicago Abendpost had this to say of Mr. Rath's work: "The present volume of poems is a 'Fruit of the soul's wounds, matdred ·in life's sorrow and splendor.' The author describes, in touching, poetic form, the destiny of the Russian-Germans, as well, as the nature and mode of liJ.£ihg bf this group of persons, fa~\from their home, in the American Middlewest.'' In the future, Mr. Rath plans to publish a collection of fables, also in German. Mr. Rath is indeed a master of languages. He can read, write, and fluently speak Russian, German, French, Spanish, English, and Ukranian, and also has a reading knowledge of Latin, Hebrew, and Greek. He began his education at the "gymnasium" in Russia, from which he graduated with four "B's" and the remainder, a 11 "A's." He then studied for two years at the University at Dorpat, Russia, until World War I came along. From 1916-1918 he served in the Russian Army, even though he was excluded from officers school because of his German descent. The rise of the Communists to power forced Mr. Rath to finish his studies at the University of Teubingen, Germany, where he received his degree in theology. In 1923, Mr. and Mrs. Rath were married at Loveland, Colorado, where Mr. Rath was serving as a pastor. To this marriage, three sons, George, Hans, and Otto, were born, of whom Hans and Otto are still living, and practicing medicine in Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. Rath are also very proud of their three grandchildren. For Peru, Mr. Rath has the highest regard. He is proud of the fact that his sons were educated here, and he has enjoyed living in this friendly town. After twenty-two years in the ministry, Mr. Rath says that he likes teaching young people better because, "I feel young with them." He is always very sincere with his students, and his students, likewise respect him, as can be seen by the fact that he was one of the finalists, last year, for the Peru College Teacher of the Year. Present and past foreign language students of Peru, will always remember the Foreign Language Club meetings, in which Mr. Rath has always been so interested. Another fond memory for them will be the Christmas party that the Raths have always held in their home, with M r s . Rath's spiced tea, and stacks of (Continued on page three)

wore nothing but pink ties for thirty years, his observations on the insane, or on marriage, are unique in their humanity and humor. The famous, the colorful, and the mighty are glimpsed occasionally, never as n am es dropped, but as people recorded in the act of being people. The Watchman, by D av is Grubb, is an extraordinary novel-tender, grotesquely c o mi c , and frightening. To discover why a young man in a small West Virginia town was murdered, t h e author enters a dark tangle of events and human emotions. Each of the characters stands distinct, and they are interlocked in a strange pattern. The Stranger, by Albert Camus, is a short novel about an ordinary little man living quietly in Algiers. Life begins to stalk him quietly, slowly, but inexorably. The pace quickens until the little man commits a pointless murder-and reaches its climax after his trial. It presents an indelible picture of a ·human being helpless in life's grip.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THAT FIDDLING MANVIC JINDRA (Continued from page one) difficult to find a better person to work 'for' and 'with.'" Mr. B. A. Eddy-"Once in a while you see a teacher who is willing to do more than is required of him; one who will take his own time to help boys and girls and who will go just a little farther to mould and build young people. Such a teacher is 'Vic' Jindra. It will take a genuine teacher to fill his shoes." Mr. L. C. Buethe-"Anyone who has worked with Mr. Jindra, or watched or heard his students, knows that his harmony extends well beyond the sphere of music. Fifty more years of encores to 'Vic' and his 'fiddlin' around'.'' Mrs. Mary Anna Gnade (Secretary to President)-"Without Mr. Jindra's very real help, encouragement and love in formative years, how many, many people would have missed experiencing music. Having no children of his own, Mr. Jindra has made ALL children_his-a true Pied Piper with violin." Don Carlile-"Mr. Jindra undoubtedly is one of Peru State's best known faculty members, from the conversations that I have had with Peru alumni. Invariably he is one about whom alums inquire. His success as a teacher is evidenced by the many successful teachers of music that he has had a hand in producing." Dr. Neal S. Gomon-"Victor Jindra is a man of many talents but his greatest virtue is his love for young people. Although his contribution to the welfare and success of Peru State and th e community are beyond counting, there are thousands of youngsters (and some not so young) who sometimes in their educational careers, have basked in the sunlight of Vic Jindra's affection and are better people because of it.''

Cold Weather Hinders Thinclads The cold, wet weather has hindered Coach Jerry Stemper's thinclads thus far this season. With the first meet b e i n g Wednesday, April 12, the tracksters will probably not be in their best form. Coach Stemper's only comment about the team was: "The time trials have not been very good so far, however, this is because of the wet weather." The hurdles will probably be the strongest event for the Bobcats. Ken Humphrey, Au b u r n junior, is the defending Nebraska College Conference high hurdle champion. Two newcomers brighten the hopes of the 'Cats in the sprints. Jim Hurst, Plattsmouth and Dick Ferron, Omaha, have been the fastest twosome in the time trials run so far this season. Lanny Richards, Bellevue, and John Werner, Falls City, are the main threats in the 440. Both Lanny and John were on the mile relay team that broke the school record two years ago.

Don (Pete) Pederson, a Papillion sophomore, who last year led the Bobcats in the mile and two mile, will be counted on to score heavily in those events. Pete is the school record holder in the two mile.

Mr. Russell Curry, manager of the Curry School of Dancing, lectured on social etiquette at convocation Tuesday, April 11. His lecture entitled "It's a Date" steers a young man and his feminine companion through the problems of an "evening out.'' "It's a Date" is a laugh provoking exploration into the realm of present day social behavior. According to Mr. Curry, "The boy is the boss.'' But, "In order to receive consideration and good manners, the girl must expect them." Thoughtfulness and con~ideration are the basis of good etiquetti:. The Curry School of Dancing is one of the largest schools of its type in the country with classes

The high jump and pole vault appear to be the strongest field events. Phil Rhodes, We e p in g Water, and Jack Head, Bellevue, are the leading high jumpers. Bob Gibson and Larry Noise, two Falls City juniors, will lead the vaulters. Vernon Thompson, a s e n i or weightman from Exeter, and Pat Thomas, a Falls City freshman, will be the leaders in the shot and discus. LaMar Gibson, a senior from Falls City, is Peru's threat in the javelin. LaMar will have good support from Phil Rhodes in this event. Coach Stemper reported that this year's squad is the smallest in number that he has had since he began coaching at Peru.

NOTES FROM MAJORS HALL By Raymond Hunzeker Some girls attending the Music festival apparently were lost. They were observed wandering through the corridors of Maj.ors Hall. They said they were going "where the boys are." Frankie Kan has been giving some off campus talks about his native Hong Kong. Girls from Morgan Hall can enjoy the comforts of air_conditioning during summer session according to Mrs. Donovan. Spring fever seems to have hit the students of Majors. Howard Engberg has "fishing fever." Tennis players are observed "batting the ball" on the court. Jay DuVal is a member of the tennis team. According to Jay they have a "no win-no loss" season. Now and then you see a pair of swimming trunks. Anyone been in the river yet? This is a sure sign spring is here! Dick Gerber was elected King for May Fete. Congratulations Dick!

LIBRARY COLUMN By Cathy I deus In Command the Morning, Pearl S. Buck has written of the greatest topic of our timesman's conquest of the atom. It is a suspenseful story of the human beings who brought it to pass. She takes us back to those years early in the second world war when physicists had become convinced that a weapon of terrible destructive power was within their grasp. We live with the scientists from then on, listening as

My Lord, What a Morning, an autobiography by Marian Anderson. It is effortless, inspiring, and deeply-moving, expressing its author's warm and reverent approach to living and to music. There are intimate glimpses into her private life. Particularly moving is her patience toward race prejudice, which she has endured with sadness rather than anger. The book is a portrayal of a great lady of two worlds, the world of music and the world of plain living. Robert Penn Warren: The Dark and Bloody Ground, by Leonard Casper, is a full-length study of the works of Robert Penn Warren. It traces the growth of a highly individualistic writer as he participates in or stands aloof from the events of his time. The criticism, poetry, plays, and fieâ&#x20AC;˘ tion of Warren receive searching analysis. The dark and bloody ground is the Indian name for Warren's home state of Kentucky. It is also his symbol representing the human condition, showing the long perspective in which Warren views his people and their history.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Susan Sharp ÂˇNine birthday celebrptions have taken place in the dorm recently. These were for Ardyth Pratt, Bonnie Collins, Lynn Mccann, Bev Farmer, Pat Rathe, Patsy Melcher, Carolyn Parli, Carolyn Mercer, and Ila Reiman. Lois Fritz is the originator of many of the new card games played in the dorm. Among the most popular are pounce, piquet, idiot's delight, pit, and Shanghi. Mice exterminators were at work in the dorm last week, but someone told me that the mice were just chasd from the old rooms to the new ones. Muu muu's are a fad here at Peru, too. Girls in the dorm have these Hawaiian dress in all colors and patterns. Many of the girls are becoming very interested in the gardening aspect of spring. Sweet potato plants and house plants adorn many windowsills.

AROUND THE CAMPUSES By Ron Pe:thoud The Wayne S:tafer - Wayne State announced that they will begin the trimester plan in September, 1961. Under this plan, students may graduate in two and two-thirds years or four years as tbey desire. Each trimester will not be less than fifteen or more than sixteen weeks in length. Classes will be sixty minutes long instead of the usual fifty minutes. Wayne is the first Nebraska college to adopt this plan, but it is expected that more will follow. The Wesleyan-Wesleyan held their an nu a 1 "Big Snob-Old Grouch" dance. The sororities select the "Old Grouch," who is actually an active member of some fraternity. In turn, the fraternities elect an active member of some sorority as a "Big Snob." Whether or not, this is a big honor, I couldn't say; but who wants to be known as an "Old Grouch?" The Doane Owl-Doane College held "The Doane Campus Chest Carnival" to raise money for the college's charity organization. At the carnival, some sorority girls, dressed like western sheriffs, sold justice. For a ticket, sold at a certain price, one could have a friend arrested. Once arrested, he stayed in jail. The only way the person could get out of jail was to buy his own way out. Also for tickets, he could buy a "shotgun wedding" for some couple. All in all, they netted about $115 for the "Campus Chest."

DELZELL DOINGS By Gary L. Brown Oh! the muddy Mo. It seems that everyone is in love with the river. Guys and gals alike have been going to the river lately for various things, such as swimming, sun bathing, and softball playing. Last Saturday Sandy Pearson, Sandy Stevens, Rita Grandgenette, Judy Wilson, Darrell Feit, Larry Rebuck, Larry Widrig and Mike Ramirez went to the river just to play softball. Mike Ramirez just about broke the dorm washing machine the other day when he washed his rug. It took two of us to bend it so we could get it into the machine. Paul Fenton, George Zwickel, Gary Brown, Jim Simmons, Phil Bateman had a little trouble going home last week:end. It seems that they made it as far as Nebraska City when the timing gear in Phil's car went out. It was a lot of fun hitchhiking in the rain. Everyone in Delzell will be cleaning his room this week, as the dorm will be open this weekend for open house. We, the men of Delzell, would like to thank everyone for visiting our dorm during open house. Bermuda shorts and beachcombers are becoming the most common wearing apparel of Delzell. The boys are taking advantage of all this fine, warm Nebraska weather and are getting out their summer clothes e a r 1 y this year.

Playing double headers on Monday and Tuesday, the Peru State Bobcats captured two victories and absorbed two defeats. On Monday, the Peruvians handed St. Benedict's College of Atchison, Kans., a 9-1 defeat in the first game, but then lost a 6-5 decision in the nightcap. Returning home on Tuesday, the Wheelermen whitewashed Northwest Missouri State College of Maryville, .4 to 0, but again lost the second game as the Missourians handed the Bobcats a 5-2 verdict. With starting pitcher, Bob Reimers, Brock, working effectively in the clutch, Peru scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings of Monday's opener at Atchison, before icing the game with a seven-run sixth inning. Reimers weakened slightly in the seventh to allow the Kansans to push across their lone run. In the second game, St. Benedict's tallied twice in the second and thre12 in the third inning. Their winning tally came in the fifth stanza. Trailing 6-1 going into the seventh ~nning, Peru's Bobcat nine exploded for four runs before being stymied. Beautiful pitching performances marked both games as Peru State and Northwestern of Missouri, split their twin bill. Ron Kelly, Falls City, hurled his second two-hitter and second shutout of the season in the first game as Peru took a 4-0 victory. The Bobcats scored twice in the fourth inning as Roger Smith, East Alton, Ill., and Bill Fitzgerald, Genoa, each drove in runs. Catcher Dick Gerber, Fullerton, provided the big blow of the first game with a towering home run to deep left field. In the second game on the Peru diamond, right hander B i 11 Ludwig spun a no-hit game for six innings to spark Northwest Missouri to the 5-2 win. Dick Gerber spoiled Ludwig's bid when he legged out a scratch infield hit to lead off the seventh inning. Northwestern led 5-0 at that point. Little Michael Hunt, Tecumseh, provided Peru with its two runs when he lined a tworun single to center in the seventh inning. The Missourians actually wrapped up the game in the first inning with plenty of help from their hosts. In th at freakish inning Northwestern took advantage of two-hit batsmen,. three walks, an error, plus two hits to score four runs.

Cats Win Two Thomsen Stars In Shot Put and Discus From Wesleyan

Eleven men have been awarded varsity basketball letters at Peru State Teachers College, according to head basketball coach Jack Mcintire. \ The eleven monogram winners were responsible for Peru State's sparkling 17-7 season's record, the N.C.C. ch amp ions hip, N.A.I.A. district 11 play-off crown, and the season-ending participation in the N.A.I.A. tournament in Kansas City. Letter winners, the number of times each has lettered in basketball and their home town inelude: Seniors-Jack Johnson (2), Loup City; Chick Stessman (3), Omaha; Roger Witt (2), Otoe. Juniors - B o b Buettgenbach (2), Beatrice; Bob Gibson (2), Falls City; Drexel Harvey (2), Hartford, Ill.; Larry Rathe (2), Sterling; Mike Roach (3), Palmyra. Sophomores-Larry Hayes (1), Auburn; Jim Mayo (1), Brooklyn, N.Y.; Tom Yopp (2), East Alton, Illinois.

Vern Thomsen, a six feet twoinch two hundred and forty pound senior from Exeter, is Peru's leading shot put and discus thrower. Before coming to Peru, he attended Fairbury Junior College, where he starred in football and track for two years. In four track meets this season, "Tommy" has not been beaten in either the sh-0t put or discus. Vern's best effort -in the shot put was i.n a dual meet with Washburn University. He heaved the iron ball 47'11112" to better the school record of 47'3" set in 1932. In the Wesleyan Invitational, Thomsen came through with his best effort of the season in the discus. He hurled the platter 143'7" to take first place. He also won the shot put, which gave him two Df Peru's three go 1 d medals. , Track is not the only s p o r t big Vern Thomsen excels in at Peru. On the gridiron, he was a top performer, in the 1960 season, as the Bobcats won the Nebraska College Conference Championship. "Tommy" hopes to get a profootball tryout in the near future.

The Peru State Bobcats came from behind twice Friday afternoon to earn two one-run baseball victories over Nebraska Wesleyan in Lincoln. Peru copped the opener 6-5 and then scored four runs in the last inning of the second game to take a 4-3 verdict. The two wins brought the Bobcats' N.C.C. and season's record to 3-1. Coach Wheeler's Peruvians saw Wesleyan open the scoring in the first game with a 5-run second inning rally. Peru came back in their half of the inning to score three runs on a walk, error, single, and a triple by pitcher Ron Kelly, Falls City.

Teachers Colleges Continue Granting Liberal Arts Degrees Nebraska's four teachers colleges may continue to grant liberal arts degrees. The Legislature's Education Committee defeated 6-3, an effort to restrict this right. The bill, Sen. Hal Bridenbaugh's LB663, , was killed in committee. Bridenbaugh admitted in his testimony the bill was really aimed at preventing t h e colleges from conferring masters degrees. In 1949 the Legislature authorized bachelor of arts degrees at the teachers colleges. Granting of masters of science

degrees in education only was begun in 1955 under State Normal Board directive. The Board, at that time, decided its original statutory pqwer was sufficient to allow a graduate program. Now the Board has declared that unless the graduate programs at Chadron, Kearney, and Wayne State earn accreditation by 1963, the programs will be discontinued. All the State Colleges were represented. Peru State was represented by Dean Melvin and two students, Jerry Wanser and Robert Raper.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Susan Sharp

By Raymond Hunzeker

At a dorm meeting the following people were elected to lead the dorm during, the fall term: President, Ellen Hunzeker. Vice president, Clara Kelly. Secretary-treasurer, Jan Tucker. Gowns shortened, hair set, shoes shined, and accessories chosen-at last the preparations for the May Fete are past. Congratulations to those whose cooperation made it a success. May Day was a busy time in the dorm for many girls were involved in the making and giving of May baskets. Two engagements were announced. Nancy Sears is engaged to Lee Pasco of Auburn; and Carol Ellenberger is engaged to Chick Stessman, w h o attends Peru State. Birthday celebrations w e r e held for Marilyn Glenn, S and y Krakow, Sharon Earl, Lind a Goodin, and Susan Hulbert. Pat Rathe was quite surprised the other night when a group of her friends threw her in the shower "because she was too happy."

We have a few "Huck Finn's" in the dormitory. Sam Sadich, Jim Simones, Henry Turner, Ken Dostal, Bob Reitz, Roger Carnes, and Wilber We aver floated down to Brownville on a raft Saturday. The "voyage" took three hours and forty-five minutes. Dean Stapleton met the Missouri sailors and drove them back to Peru. Beware of Frankie Kan fellows-he's on the loose with a match trick! ! There have been and will be many pre-test parties before final week, although it seems as if there are many fellows writing "dead line" term papers according to Glenn Irwin. Gary Stover and Butch Whitfield presented their pantomime "The Great Pretender" at th e Open House program last Sunday. Mrs. Donovan extends h e r thanks to all who contributed in making our Open House a success. One of the advantages of o u r solarium is that we can observe the track and tennis meets in cool comfort.

The Women's Physical Education Department and th e Student Senate sponsored the annual event. The throne was placed on the east wall of the gym. It was covered by red and yellow streamers, and looked like a bright Mexican awning. The throne was flanked by cacti, palms, and simulated trees. Green streamers covered the walls on either side. Colored balloons were hung on lavender streamers, which ran from the throne to the opposite wall. A large yellow sombrero was suspended by the streamers in the center of the gym. As Eugene Walden played the first measures of the processional, Ray Meister announced the appearance of the Ladies-In-Waiting.

It was accented by a floor-length, yellow bow in the back. Sophomore a t t e n d a n t s were Rosalie Baehr and Ron Kelly. Miss Baehr's formal was also white nylon. The floor length skirt was tiered. Each tier w a s embroidered in blue on the edge. Sandy Stephens and Ken Dostal were junior attendants. Sandy wore a pink formal. The pink organza of the bodice was used in an embroidered over-panel for the skirt. The panel, which fell to a "V" in the front and back, was over pink net. Senior representatives were Jeannine Ehlers and Jack Head. Miss Ehlers wore a Princess style dress of white taffeta. The bodice and sleeves were white lace. A fan-shaped panel fell from the waistline to the floor in the back. Jeannine's white lace mitts matched the white lace of her dress.

Don Peterson, Distance Runner Sophomore Don (Pete) Peterson is perhaps, the best distance runner in Peru's history. Little Pete is 5'7" tall and weighs 118 pounds. His best event is the two-mile run, in which he holds the school record with a time of 10:10.7. He achieved this feat at Wesleyan Invitational this season. Don also runs the mile in very respectable time. He also holds the school record in this event, his record time is 4:3.7. On one occasion this spring Peterson entered the 880, m i 1 e , and two-mile in one day and won all three races. This Papillion sophomore, has a big career in the next t w o years at Peru. Each time "Pete" runs in one of his favorite events records will be in danger.

PERU CLEANERS & TAILORS

On May 9, 1961, the Peru thinclads traveled to Crete, Nebraska, for the Doane College Relays. Ace hurdler Ken Humphrey did not make the trip, the reason was his wife had been taken to the Auburn ho;;pital ·early th a i; morning. By 2:30 p.m., when he was to run the high hurdles at the Doane Relays, Ken had become the proud father of a healthy baby boy, Humphrey is also Peru's leading broad jumper, last season he bettered 22 feet several times. He has not equaled that mark so far this season; however, by the conference meet he hopes to be in top form.

Independent Study Seminar Draws Faculty Attention A group of faculty members interested in "Ind e pendent Study" have met three times in a seminar discussion under the direction of Dr. Keith Melvin. Independent study is a challenge to our present practice of "spoon feeding," a term applied to the set schedule and assignx'nent program. Students will be expected, through self-discipline, to master subjects chiefly on their own initiative. Independent study involves independent re-· search reading. Some objectives of independent study are: to reduce the number of class meetings; to substitute for the conventional lecture, a lecture-conference or faculty supervised conference; to organize small, independent stud Y groups without faculty contact; and to provide independent study without faculty or student contact. The essential element in these methods has been described as one of inquiry. The Faculty Seminar meetings, according to Dean Melvin, will be continued next fall, at which time some of these theories will be put into practice. Next fa 11 representatives from different colleges that have independent study programs will speak to the group.

All School Picnic "Where are the hotdogs?" "I don't want any mustard." "Don't pinch the Peter Pan buns." These were some of the common quotes at the all-school picnic held May 15, 1961 on the football field. The picnic, sponsored by th e Freshman class, was a success with nearly all the students attending. The menu consisted of hotdogs, potato chips, b a k e d beans, and cookies.

.targe Course Offering For Summer Session More than 100 courses will be offered for under-graduate an d graduate students in the 1961 summer session at Peru S t a t e Teachers College, according to F. H. Larson, registrar. The regular eight-week session, during which nine hours of college credit may be earned, will open June 6 and close July 29. Offerings will include not only those of interest to the in-service teacher, but also to home makers and business people. The popular two-week post session will open July 29 an d continue through August 12. During the session, two or three hours of college credit may be earned. Three workshops are scheduled during the regular eightweek term and post session. Of two weeks in duration, the workshops will meet four hours daily, six days a week. They .will include: Concepts and Techniques in Modern Math in the Elementary School, June 19 to July 1; Concepts and Techniques in Modern Science in the Elementary School, July 5 to July 18; Modern Techniques in Teaching Reading, July 29 to August 12. The workshops will meet in air conditioned rooms. 'The 1961 Summer Session will see the end of the eight-week and post session terms at Peru State. Beginning with the summer of 1962, Peru State will offer two five-week sessions.

Peru State Band Presented Spring Concert May 11 As a feature of Music Week, the Peru State Band Ensemble presented its spring concert on Thursday, May 11 at 8:00 p.m. in the college auditorium. The thirty-five piece ensemble was under the direction of Gilbert E. Wilson. Included in the program were eight selections. The first on the program was "Folk Song Suite" by Ralph Vaughn Williams. This was followed by Alfred Reed's "Ode for Trumpet" played by Don Johnson and accompanied by the rest of the band. Next on the program were "Pastel f o r Band" by Maurice C. Whitney and "When Jesus Wept" by William Billings. "Five Mellow Winds" by David Schanke featured a small woodwind ensemble consisting of Carol Sudik, Wayne Wallace, Gaylin Sudik, and Thomas Sheehan playing saxophone and Gary Schmucker playing clarinet. The next selection, "Symphonic Suite," was composed by Clifton Williams. John Morrissey's "Concerto Grosso" featured two solo trumpets, Don Johnson and Bob Kaiser, and a solo trumpet, Hanford Miller. The final selection of the program was "Themes from Caucasian Sketches" by M. IppolitovIvanov.

Epsilon Pi Tau Had Steak Fry Epsilon Pi Tau, honorary Industrial Arts Fraternity held their steak fry MjlY 9 at Neal Park in Peru. The fry started at 6:00 p.m. and lasted until 7:30 p.m. There were nineteen Epsilon Pi Tau members and guests present. It was decided at the 1a st monthly meeting to use funds from the treasury to purchase the steaks.

ANNUS MIRABILIS The school year now drawing to a close has been a wonderful year by any way of reckoning. Four new structures, costing nearly $1,500,000, have been completed and put to good use. The Bobcats won N.C.C. championships in both basketball and football. Open houses, music contests, athletic tournaments, dedications, and other occasions have brought more visitors to the campus than ever li>efore-one music contest alone bringing over 1,500. And the visitors have seen much to admire. We doubt that Peru ever before had as good a year as 1960-1961. We believe enrollment will be up substantially in 1961-1962.

NOTES FROM MAJORS HALL By Raymond Hunzeker Many students are waiting for final week to arrive now. Typewriters are heard from floor to floor banging out final notes. A few of the fellows seem to have summer vacation jobs lined up. Many have signed up for their rooms in Majors Hall next fall. Night lights have been burning a little later than usuai this past week. It appears the guys a r e bearing down for finals. Rain, rain, go away, come again another day is the popular feeling in the corridors at Majors. We <:an't get enough of the sunshine and associated fair weather. Many fellows are trying to get pre-season suntans or should we say "sunburns"? Now, bathing suits and bermudas appear to be the uniform of the day. A few last week organization parties are being, or have be en scheduled. For instance, S.N.E.A. is having a picnic in Neal Park on Wednesday. For the seniors, this will be their last year at Peru State. Congratulations and best wishes for a successful future! I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the fellows who helped make this column a success this semester.

LIBRARY COLUMN By Cathy I deus Doctor Zhivago, by Boris Pasternak, is the only great novel to come out of post-revolutionary Russia without the approval of Russian censorship. Zhivago, a physician and poet, is the focal figure. Through his experiences, the reader witnesses the outbreak and consequences of the Revolution: army revolts, irrational killings, starvation epidemics, Party inquisition. These are not times for a domestic idyll or emotional bliss, and Zhivago sees man's simplest aspirations to a normal life frustrated. "Storm" is the key word of this book-the storm of war, of revolution, of human passions, of nature. The book is crowded with scenes and people of unforgettable impact; the trains crowded with deportees, apartment houses overrun with rats, cities starving and freezing, villages burned and depopulated. Woven into this background is the story of Zhivago's love for the tender and beautiful Lara, the human symbol of life's sweetness and joy.

TC Baseball Closes Good Season By Tom Yopp e Peru State Baseball team ed the 1961 season with a d of ,10 wins and 8 losses. e Bobcats began the season a stunning 7-0 victory over ne State only to have the cats rebound to take the nd game of the doulJleheader with Ron Kelly getting both win and loss. The Bobcats wed this "win one-lose one" rn throughout the season the exception of taking a leheader from Wesleyan and g one to Kearney. -This "win lose one" pattern is good for tsmanship, but not for base-·

as often as anticipated. Only two of the regulars, Roger Smith and Barney Mcllvoy, hit over .300 for the entire season while the team average was near .230. The team fielding percentage was far lower than the opponertts with the Bobcats making twice as many errors. Peru's ace hurler, Ron Kelly, made his final outing his best. He threw a brilliant one-hitter against Creighton University and collected three hits, including a home run, in three trips to the plate for a perfect day. Ron hit .706 for the season with 12 hits in 17 trips, and for a pitcher that's not bad.

Only veterans Dick Gerber, Bill Fitzgerald, and Jim Fisher will be lost from the 1962 squad. This year was a winning year, but the 1962 team should be one of the best in Peru State's history.

A total of 69 January and May degree candidates will be honored during the 91st annual Commencement week at Peru State Teachers College. The degree candidates include 54 May candidates, and 15 candidates who completed requirements in January. Dr. Morgan started his educational career as a teacher-principal in a two-room school in what is now Lincoln. He was superintendent of schools at Bloomington and Guide Rock, Nebraska. Dr. Morgan completed the course for the Bachelor's degree graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1917. In 1917 Mr. Morgan was called to Camp MacArthur in Texas to build and administer libraries there and in surrounding posts.

Summer Enrollment Stemper Outlines A total of 415 students are enrolled at Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru for the 1961 summer session, according to Registrar, F. H. Larson. This figure, which is for the June 5 to July 28 regular session, includes 335 women and 80 men. Enrollments at Peru State's summer session have shown marked increases from 362 in 1955. The 1961 regular session includes students from 24 Nebraska counties and five states besides Nebraska. There are 22 students from Brown county, Kans., 31 from Fremont county, Iowa. The student from the farthest state is Laura Lippold fro m Clark, Nevada. The ones driving a long distance are from Sabetha, Summerfield, and H i aw at h a , Kansas. The students driving the farthest are the ladies from Malvern, Iowa, which 69 miles from Peru. They drive 690 miles each week. By the end of the summer session they will have driven a total of 5,520 miles. SATURDAY CLASSES Regular classes were held Saturday, June 24. The second day of Saturday classes will be July 8. Two days of Saturday classes were scheduled this year because of the long July 4 holiday.

Recreation Program For Summer Jerry Stemper, head of the summer recreation program, has outlined the many activities available to the students on the Peru State campus this summer. Heading these activities are : swimming, square dancing, men's soft ball, and co-recreational volley ball. For those students on campus who would 'enjoy participating in square dancing, but who have not had past experience-this is your chance. There will be instructions given for beginners. If enough students are interested in some other form of recreation, such as a bathing suit contest, please contact Mr. Stemper.

First Convocation Held The first convocation of the summer season was held June 7. The convo was opened by singing the Star Spangled Banner. Members of the faculty were presented by Dr. Neal S. Gomon. Immediately following the presentation, Dr. Gomon delivered a short address. The convocation was dismissed by singing the color song.

Dr. Milburn Blanton represented Peru State at· the MidWestern conference on education held at Omaha University June 8 and 9. Representatives from Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska attended the meeting. Membership in the conference is open to "all persons seeking a means of cooperative action in the study of major problems of education that are of common concern, with special emphasis on education in areas rural in character." These persons should be "leaders or heads of organizations· and reside in one of the seven Mid-Western states." The conference was recently incorporated. It has been in the formative stages for three years. The purpose of this Mid-Western conference is to provide for a cooperative study effort of major problems in education with special emphasis on rural education. Dr. Blanton said that there were two features of the two day meeting. The first was a report from the executive committee concerning their study of possibilities for conference action on rural instruction in the seven states. Their recommendations concerned "improvement of curriculum and quality of teaching, reorganization of districts, and development of total community educational programs." Another report was presented by the ad hoc committee which has been working with the Ford Foundation on a developmental program. If agreements can be reached with the foundation, they will provide from three to five million dollars for experimentation and special projects for improvement in education. The highlight of the conference was an address by Howard Dawson, director of rural education in the United States office of education at Washington, D. C. Mr. Dawson spoke about general problems in the improvement of rural education. He mentioned keeping educators in the Midwest as a major problem. Said Mr. Dawson: "If you want to see where outstanding educators in the nation come from but where they do not stay, look at Who's Who in American Education, You will see that Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and the mountain areas of Arkansas are chief sources of outstanding educators in other states of the nation."

Display Case Needs Exhibits The display case, located between the library and gymnasium, is one of the newest additions to our campus. Its purpose is to display items of' educational and cultural value. ~ To date, a pipe collection belonging to Mr. R. D. Moore and a pottery collection made in art classes have been shown. Perhaps you or someone you know has a hobby, craft or collection which would be of interest. If so, contact Mr. Langham, librarian.

"The Teacher and Civilization" was the title of Dr. Joy Elmer Morgan:s commencement address at Peru State May 26. Said Dr. Morgan: "We are so busy at times that we may fail to consider ourselves in civilization. We need to take a look at the teacher and civilization from an aerial view." Dr. Morgan pointed out that our period in civilization is small compared to the whole. But the training of the mind remains important. Good schools b u i 1 d strong nations. Next Dr. Morgan considered pedagogy and the teacher, listing four fundamentals. The first principle is "love of the teacher for the individual." The younger the child, the m01;.e important the love. The child wh:o needs the most love is the child who is most difficult to love. "Awakening of the self" is the second principle. A child must be taught to w;$.'f to make something of himself. Fundamental number three is "the awakening of the child to a sense of others." This sense of others should include all mankind. By biological fact, we are all brothers. Science has brought us together and we must learn to get along. The last principle Dr. Morgan gave was: "the mind grows at the point of attention." The things one thinks about show the kind of person he or she is. Thus, make the child's mind a kingdom. The heritage of the United States is tremendous. Dr. Morgan mentioned several ideals that are part of the heritage. The first is "The Golden Rule." By it, people can live in harmony. Next is the law of growth or evolution. Children are expected to do better than their parents. The third ideal is that of democracy based upon intelligence and ideas. The last and dominant ideal is that of planning. Dr. Morgan said that President Kennedy's "Goals for Americans" is a part of the plan. The goals off er every American a chance to do something for America. Dr. Morgan concluded his thinking on ideals by saying: "Ideals are like stars-you can't reach them with your hands but you may choose them as guides." His final words to the graduates were these: "He most lives who feels most, thinks most, and acts best. It is your task as teachers to see that education wins."

Educational Books Exhibited The Nebraska Textbookmen's Association displayed an educational exhibit June 14 in the gymnasium. Mr. Forrest B. Shrader, secretary-treasurer of the Nebraska Textbook's Association, said, "This is an educational exhibit for the purpose of acquainting teachers and prospective teachers with new educational materials available to them." On display were representative textbooks from the following publishing companies: Holt, Rinehart and Winston; Rand McNally; Charles E. Merrill; Allyn and Bacon; Macmillan; Harcourt, (Continued on page two)

WAY BACK WHEN •••

Eliza Morgan Hall has come to life again after a week of quiet. Students returning from 1 as t summer will notice some ~hanges in the dorm. This summer the new west wing is being used. Also new is the "face lifting" done to the front of Morgan Hall, extending to the Student Center. This retaining wall, according to Mr. Vance, is a decorative and practical means to' put the t w o buildings on the same level. Eventually, a cement walk will be laid from Morgan Hall to the Student Center and the area will be sodded. South of Morgan Hall workmen are busy planting roses between the dormitory and the Student Center. The cry, "Man on the floor!" has been loud and frequent recently as workmen administer welcome repair to third floor. First and second floors are occupied by the 74 residents of Morgan Hall. At a dorm party June 12, officers and wing counselors w e r e elected. Joan Hauptman is o u r new president; Ruth McBride, vice-president; Clara Kelly, secretary-treasurer. The following students were elected wingcounselors: basement, Patricia Shelly; first floor, Colene Hoffman; second floor, Pat Earl, Rita Grandgenett. Last week Karen Fankhauser, Joan Votroubek, Virginia Van Winkle, and Kay Parli played nursemaid to a baby blue jay that fell from its nest. girls kept it in their room for a day and then took it down to the lab where it is being cared for. The TV has been kept busy as students seek relief from studying. The game room in the Student Center and the tennis courts have also seen frequent use. For week-end recreation, Linda Risley, Rosemary Grundmann and Bev Parde went to the free movie downtown. One of the most popular activities this time of the year is sun bathing. From time to time the hills of Peru can be seen dotted with girls starting the summer right with a good tan.

The Peru Pedagogian through the years has reflected everyday life on the campus. From clippings in the 1928 files, we learned from the April 24 Pedagogian that the building program was then, as now, of top interest. A $50,000 appropriation was set aside for building a science hall. The hall was to be built on the north side of the auditorium, in the form of a T. The entrance to the finished building was to face north. As you can see, things turned out differently; the science hall does not form a T and the entrance faces west. The cost of this building seems low indeed when compared to our new $400,000 industrial arts building. In the August 15, 1928, issue, the placement bureau reported: "This year there has been a decrease in nearly every department. To date there have been 542 calls. Last year the bureau received 742 calls for teachers." "Most Peruvians located in high schools will teach two or three subjects. Salaries are as follows: Experienced Men ___ $1,660 Experienced! Women_$1,280" The placement bureau now receives an estimated 4,000 calls every year for teachers. Some names that made news in 1928 still are familiar on the campus. "On Friday, June 22 at the college auditorium Professors H. E. Wagner and Robert [', Benford presented a musical recital. A large crowd was present to hear these local artists." An idea for a summer convocation is contained in this item: "On August 8, 1928, convocation was devoted to a swimming demonstration and meet held in the college swimming pool." If some of you have wondered what the campus rules and customs were many years ago, here is what the March 20, 1928 Pedagogian said concerning th i s matter: "In the, early history of the school (Peru College), boys were not allowed to come within ten feet of girls. The boys of course were afraid they might accidentally break the rule, so they cut ten-foot poles. Girls and boys were often seen swinging these poles between them. If a gentleman wished to escort a lady home, he must walk on one side of the street and she on the other. A gentleman wishing to escort a lady to church must send

LIBRARY COLUMN By Cathy Ideus Bedlam in ihe Back Seat, by Janet Gillespie, offers us a picture of the Europe which can only be seen through the eyes of a family of six. The author, he r husband, and their four children traveled in a Volkswagen bus, following a happy meandering path through France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and the British Isles. Imagine the restive spirits of the children, the floor strewn with the litter of three days picnicking in the car, and an Alpine chill gnawing at the last frayed threads of your temper. This is not the stuff that travel posters are made of. Or imagine an idyllic olive grove, with a picnic of the pungent local cheeses, bread still warm from the bakery, and good Chianti wine. This is living; this is escape to be shared by all s.tay-athome readers. , To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is an interesting and warmhearted novel. At the age of eight, Scout Finch is an entrenched free-thinker. She can't accept her father's warning that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because mockingbirds harm no one and give great pleasure. The benefits said to be gained fro m going to school and keeping her temper elude her. The place of this intensely moving story is Maycomb, Alabama. The time is the Depression, but Scout and her brother are seldom depressed. They have appalling gifts for entertaining themselves. The children become involved in some disturbing adult mysteries; fascinating Boo Radley, who never leaves his house; the terrible temper of Mrs. Dubose down the street; the fine distinctions that make the Finch family "quality"; the forces that cause the people of Maycomb to show compassion

Faculty Changes A resignation and retirement from the staff of Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru were announced June 15 by President Neal S. Gamon. Darryl T. Manring, associate professor of voice, has resigned to continue graduate study at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and Mrs. Ruth Brown, campus school supervisor, has asked to be placed on emeritus status. Mr. Manring joined the musk staff in Septemb~r, 1949. During the 1960-61 school year he has been on a leave of absence to work on a doctoral program at the University of Arizona. Mrs. Manring served as secretary to the director of the campus school for a number of years. Mrs. Brown joined the staff of the campus school in 1943. During the last ten years she has been supervisor of the fourth grade in the campus school. Mrs. Brown is the widow of the late Dr. Castle Brown, long-time head of the division of history an d social sciences of the college. Mrs. Brown plans to dispose of her prop'erties in Peru and re· turn to her former home at River Falls, Wisconsin.

John Biere, Auburn, and Jeannine Ehlers, Syracuse, have been elected president and vice-president, respectively, of ihe Student Government Association at Peru State Teachers College for the 1961· 62 school year. Miss Ehlers was re-elected to the position she held during the 1960-61 school year. Peru State voters exhibited political independence by electing Biere from the Independent Party and Miss Ehlers from the Esoteric Party. John is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otio Biere, Auburn, and Jeannine is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ehlers, Syracuse. The new student leaders will be seniors.

Baccalaureate Sermon Delivered By Dr. Jackman Dr. Everett E. Jackman, super· intendent of the Omaha district of the Methodist church, deliv· ered the baccalaureate sermon on May 21 to the graduating class of 1961. Dr. Jackman chose his text from Matthew: "Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth to life." He discussed the gate as a symbol of freedom and escape. According to Dr. Jackman, the gates leading to greatness are the gates of purposeful learning, self -discipline, sincerity, a n d worship. He pointed out that worship with sincerity and common sense is the most important gate since

it gives reason for passin,g through all the others. In closing, Dr. Jackman wished the gradu: ates success and expressed t he hope that they would reach the goal of greatness.

Teach er Spends Vacation Teaching Each summer many teachers return to study at Peru, but one teacher, Dr. James M. May, has returned for the third consecutive year not as a student but as a summer instructor in the department of education. Dr. May's fall and winter months are spent in Tulsa, Okla., where he h a s served for the past 11 years as principal of the Oliver Wendell Holmes elementary school. Dr. May's experience in the field of elementary education is shared with Peru students this summer in three courses: Techniques of Research in Education, Social Science in Elementary Schools, and Language Arts in Elementary Schools. When asked if he enjoys his summer job, Dr. May replied: "The fad that I have returned for the third time indicates, I believe, that I do like teaching here at Peru. I find my work pleasant and inspiring and the students attentive and appreciative. I also appreciate the apparent rich cultural heritage of the college and the ·community." The AB. degree was awarded to Dr. May by Henderson State Teachers College, Arkadelphia, Ark. His M.A. was earned at the University of Arkansas,, and his Ph.D. requirements were completed at Colorado State College, Greeley, Colorado. Dr. May is married and is the father of two children, a daughter, 13, and a son, ll. His family has accompanied Dr. May to Peru and is residing in the Manring apartments. Besides acting as manager of his son's Little League baseball team and being a self-classified "summer golfer,'' Dr. May served as vice-president of the national department of elementary school principals during 1957-58 and has held the position of memberat-lai'ge of the executive committee of that organization for the past three years.

Application Deadline For Master's Exams All candidates for the master's degree must make application in the office of the dean of the college for the written comprehensive examinations on or before June 27. The examination will be given July 6, a:t 9 a.m. in the library.

Clarence Williams Has HNo Complaint" At Retirement "All you have to do is let the students alone and they won't bother the night watchman." So states Clarence D. Williams, retiring deputy state .sheriff, with a hearty chuckle and a gleam in his eye. Harmless pranks ab o u t the "Campus of a Thousand Oaks" have given Williams much amusement and relief from the monotony of work as n i g h t watchman. It is this enjoyment of harmless pranks that has kept more drastic incidents at a minimum. Wiilliams practiced his particular kind of diplomacy on our campus for seven years. "I've got no complaints whatsoever," he says. "I loved working with the students and faculty in this school. I'll sure miss the kids." The small fry about campus are favorites of "Pop," as he is ·called. He likes to tell how Kurt Buethe watched him take the flag down last fall and said, "Say, Pop, better leave that up there. I'll tell on you!" With the exception of a few nights last year when he was recovering from a lightning shock,

Williams never missed a night in seven years. Williams spent eight years in forest se.rvice. He has m a n y memorie~ of his work as a ranger along the Mexican border; at Puget Sound, Washington; and along Wasatch Range near Salt Lake City. He was forced to leave irest' work when he was overcom'e by smoke poisoning in a fire. Fishing for trout is a favorite pastime of Williams, and both he and Mrs. Williams love to travel. Their outdoor fireplace is an indication of this because it contains rocks from nine different states. Included in these are gold ore, silica, and mica fr om Utah; silver from Montana; lead ore from the Black Hills; and a chunk of lava from the Ozarks. They will revisit many of these states in the near future. They plan an immediate visit to Utah, Idaho, Washington, San Francisco, and Nevada. Will he fish? "Very probably," he says. The Williams plan to remain living in Peru the greater part of each year. One thing seems certain, the kids will "sure" miss him, because it seems that they a 1so "have no complaints whatsoever."

Included in the gift of nursery stock are 600 rose bushes, 380 of which are being planted in a formal garden between Eliza Morgan Women's Residence Hall and the new Student Center. The majority of the stock is being planted in areas near the f o u r recently-completed building projects at Peru State. The gift, arranged through Homer Greenwood of Interstate

Nurseries, includes in addition to the 17 varieties of roses, 25 sugar maples, 25 flowering crab, 40 pin oaks, 100 Marshall crab, 20 Buisman elm, 25 hiock orange, 15 forsythia, 15 burning bush, 250 winter green euonymous, 1,000 misty blue spirea, and 200 cardinal shrub. The nursery stock has. a retail value of between $3,500 and $4,000. The sodding and seeding of grass near the A. V. Larson Industrial Arts building, the A. D. Major's Men's Hall, additions to Eliza Morgan Women's Hall, and the Student Center, plus the new trees and shrubs will have erased the scars left by the $1.4 million building program.

Campus School Chatter By Mary Anna Gnade With all the college students in courses requiring observation of elementary pupils in action, it follows that Miss Clarke, M rs . Straw and Mr. Sheely conduct classes in rather a fish-bowl atmosphere. These summer sessions are "for fun" as well as enrichment for those in grades 1 through 6. Part of their education is in adjusting to new classmates since enrollments include children of summer college students and visiting relatives in the community. You'd think 23 lively 1st and 2nd graders would be enough for a teacher, but Mrs. Straw says she thoroughly enjoys the additional "livestock" which fills her room as part of the "Pets" project she is teaching this summer. It's a continually changing show since few of the pets remain for long. George Guinea Pig, the hamsters and parakeets from regular session kindergarten act as hosts to the parade of rabbits, salamanders, rats, chameleons, dogs, fish, turtles, etc. (PS: Gotta minute? Mrs. S. says visitors are welcome!) One nice way to get acquainted is to compare the history of Peru with the history of the towns from which the visitors come. Miss Clarke has representatives from eight other schools besides Peru and their project is "Peru Community, Yesterday and Today." They had almost-90-yearold Herbert Patterson from town who aroused the curiosity of the 3rd and 4th graders in the "olden days." A trip to Brownville isl a must when studying the history of this area, and a stop on Cemetery Hill points out the fact that Mt. Vernon became the city of the dead while the city of the living moved down the hill to Peru. (Had you stopped to think how YOUR city got its name?) Mr. Sheely's 5th and 6th graders didn't stay earth-bound: their project, involving committees and reports, is on phases of "Space." Books with articles about and by space scientists, models of space ships and stations and rockets and even plebian airplanes are making the trek from home to school. Wild rumors of "maybe a field trip to Morrill hall in Lincoln" to see the space exhibit are rampant (but likely not possible). So on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the young'ns come out of space and dunk in the college swimming pool. By serendipity pupils were allowed to hear and see the Dominico and Sear song and dance program.

Wednesday afternoons; campus school and college band members rehearse Thursday evenings with promise (threat?) of concerts later; boys and girls duck in and out of Vic Jindra's domain for quickie sessions on vi o 1ins or cello. A left-over-from-regular-school diagnostic reading test that was a requirement of the SRA survey conducted in 7th and 8th grades during the past semester turned into a highly social affair. Refreshments were served and a dance made this a most desirable exam, not to mention the excitement of getting drenched in the Wednesday evening downpour. Understand even prizes (of three and four cents, imagine!) were awarded for best waltzing, etc. And then the question arises, do we have a progressive or traditional school?

"Sifting Sands" Revived Sifting Sands, publication of Sigma Tau Delta, honorary English fraternity, was revived last spring. Many students returning to the campus· this summer will remember that the publication contains only original, creative literature written by Peru State students or faculty members. An autumn issue is · planned and contributions are welcomed. Those persons wishing to contribute or to buy a spring copy should contact Mr. Summers or Julie Mayer. Copies of the spring issue are available at $.25 p er copy.

"Just 'whistling' in the rain!" That's what he was doing on Tuesday afternoon, June 13, between 5th and 6th streets. The tune was "America," the rhythm typically march, and the man a defier of gloomy days. He trudged' down the middle of the spongy street with the gentle rain dripping from· his bare head and a long gray plastic raincoat. On every last count of the huptwo-three-four, our whist 1er shifted into a higher key. Neither the rain nor the successive key changes seemed to affect him. He merely continued his activity in contrary motion to the elements. Who is this mysterious whistler who whistles uphill while the rain comes trickling down?

Financially independent school districts, state support of school districts, free high school tuition, and severance tax on natural resources to benefit future generations were included in the 1961 NSEA official platform. Other articles included state administered federal support, minimum of a bachelor's degree for all teachers, tenure balanced w i th added responsibility and professional growth, professional an d sabbatical· leaves without loss of salary, and, a state retirement plan to supplement the federal plan. The insurance and credit union plans benefit the teachers because they are designed on the "group" basis. There is a saving of 25% on certain policies from the T.I.A. One reason a six per-

Boston Lyric Theatre To Appear Friday teresting to note that the two sopranos, the tenor, and the baritone each studied under the New England conservatory's eminent teacher, Gladys Miller. Each of the artists has achieved success in the fields of concert, opera, and oratorio, having appeared with such leading musical organizatjons as the l3oston Pops orchestra, the Wheeling symphony, the Harvard M u sic a 1 association, Brown University chorus and orchestra, Al Goodman and orchestra, and the New England Opera theatre. Director of the ensemble is Paul Giles, baritone, who is responsible for the development of the Boston Lyric theatre, now in its seventh successful season. The public is invited to attend the July 14 performance.

The Boston Lyric theatre will appear here at the all-college convocation Friday, July 14 at 10:40 a.m. The appearance of this musical theatre group comprised of five singers and a pianist is part of a tour of the United States. Shown is a part of the six member ensemble in a colorfully costumed excerpt from "Carousel."

Library Purchases Califone A Califone, a record player with eight station listening earphones has been purchased by the library. Records now available include: foreign languages, juvenile and adult literature, poetry, drama, education and history. The facility will be in operation beg,inning this fall. It is hoped that the Califone will be used in classroom work. The machine is being demonstrated to administrators and division heads this summer. According to Mr. Langham, it has met with widespread approval. Participation in the selection of mateDial in the various subject areas has been good.

WAY BACK WHEN ••• By Hanford Miller Jr. The 193(} Pedagogians give a clear picture of student life. At this time the · students found much of their recreation in Peru. Plays were a popular form of entertainment. The Crystal Theater downtown also entertained students with "all-talking" movies. On April 18, 193(}, a special silent movie was seen by all students: "'Then and Now,' a movie featuring members of the class of 1930, was g·iven in convocation. It consisted of pictures of the senior class as they were at less than five years of age. Later these pictures were associated with recent photographs." Then, as now, athletics were a prime source of entertainment. From the October 7 Pedagogian we learned ·the greatest improvement in our outdoor sports was the installation of flood lights at Peru's athletic bowl. At .that time this undoubtedly gave Peru one of the best lighted fields in this section of the country. Every fall, freshman initiation is looked forward to-except by the freshmen. Here is how it was thirty years ago: "On September 23, 193(}, the freshman boys were initiated into college life. First, they were told to bend over and grab their ankles, to receive the paddle. Then a thirty-minute program was put on consisting of speeches, dances, love-making, song, and other stunts. As a reward for their tolerance, the freshman boys were allowed to walk the girls back from downtown, where the initiation ended." From the way older people talk, one might think initiations were rougher back then, but just try to get a modern veteran of Delzell life to believe this! A more educational form of entertainment was had here on May 9 and 1(}, 1930: "The Nebraska Academy of Sciences was held at Peru State Teachers College. There w er e special section programs in botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, earth science, mathematics, social science, and geography. "Talkie" films were also shown on these various subjects." On April 1, 193(}, the Pedagogian mentioned the latest improvements in our auto mechanic facilities: "The college's auto mechanics department has acquired new equipment among which a Wright aeroplane engine was included. They plan to study and exhibit the engine."

The typing class of 1930 w a s also to have approached the ultimate in the use of their typewriters. Sixty words per minute without errors was the most that could be expected of anyone. The closest any student came to this was a correct 58 words per minute. Even th,,ough these students were working toward national awards, their .typing seems only average when compared to the 80-100 word rates that are now common.

Survival Preparedness The fifth course in survival preparedness is being held on the Peru State Teachers College campus. This course deals with survival in any natural disaster. It also includes how to handle biological contamination, chemical warfare and nuclear warfare-the three major types of enemy strategy. Twenty-one students have enrolled in this civil defense course. Class meets at 7 p.m. and will run for six Thursdays, two hours each evening. Approximately 15(} students have received certificates for successful completion of the course since its inauguration last winter.

30-Year Hobby Displayed Salt and pepper shakers collected during a 30-year period by Mrs. F. H. Larson were featured in the library display case during the past two weeks. The 73 sets have been obtained in England, Italy, Japan, Mexico and in 14 states. Mrs. Larson started her hobby to collect souvenirs of places she had visited and where she l}ad lived. The collection is not now limited to Mrs. Larson's travels, however, because friends and relatives have contributed sets from around the world. Her daughter, Fran, supplied the set from Alaska, and a nephew in military service sent Mrs. Larson her favorite pair-peasant figurines from Japan. The difficulty of moving the collection caused Mrs. Larson to discontinue her hobby for a time, but "People kept sending them so I became interested again," she said. Mrs. Larson is w o n d er i n g where new additions to her collection will go, because as her hobby grows, display space in her home vanis·hes. PIANO ARRANGEMENTS BY PROF.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Julie Mayer "Only four more weeks of school!" is frequently being heard in Morgan Hall this week. No one seems ready to go back to books and classes after the long 4th of July week-e_~d. Morgan Hall.was deserted ov· er the 4th except for Elaine Current, Stockville, who was the only student to spend the whole vacation in the dorm. Workmen, however, were busy over the week-end. The front walk between Morgan Hall and the Student Center is nearly completed. Everyone agrees that it's a welcome change from the boards that served as walks when summer school began. Third floor has been painted and repaired and now workmen are moving down to second. All the rooms in the dorm will be checked for needed' repairs and paint jobs. Strange and familiar faces have been seen in the dorm the past few weeks as Morgan Hall played host to the following visitors: Lynn Bailey, Carolyn Parli, Linda Goodin, Sandy Stephens, Joyce Hall, Mary Epler, Betty Plankinton, Bertha Manche, Jean Ast, Grace Horner, Bev O'Hara, Dottie Fink, Edna Maystrick Fitch and Dorothy.. Maystrick. Hazel Stevens was visited.. by her son Bob last week. Mr. Stevens teaches music in Chicago and spoke to the psychology of exception children class. Mrs . Stevens was excused from classes July 5 to attend her son's voice recital in Omaha. Clara Kelly was absent fr om the dorm last week attending the American Home Economics Association convention in Cleveland, Ohio. Clara looked at exhibits and teaching aids, saw the Indians play the Washington Senators and brought home shopping bags full of souvenirs. Birthday parties were held for Rita Grandgenett and Sandy Stephens. Sandy Pearson, Judy Wolf, Rose Clancy, Judy French, Karen Conrad, Connie Dietl, Barbare Philpot and Judy Wils·on helped them celebrate. Mary Lou Welch was married Sunday, July 2 to Loyd Hawley. Their home is in Plattsmouth. Best wishes, Mary Lou! Preparations are being made for the senior tea which will be held July 19. Thirteen coµimittees are organized to make this event a success. Skit night in the dorm was held July 6. Seven skits were performed which provided an evening's relief from studying and term papers.

AProblem in Logic Have you tested your ability to think logically lately? Try this brain twister. It was used this summer in modern mathematics -Math 42(}. Supply a conclusion to the following argument, making it valid. "If he goes to a party, he does not fail to brush his hair. To look .fascinating it is necessary to be tidy. If he is an opium eater, then he has no self-command. If he brushes his hair, he looks fascinating. He wears white kid gloves only if he goes to a party. Having no self-command is sufficient to make one look untidy. Therefore . . . " (Adapted from Lewis Carroll) Look for the answer in the next issue of the Pedagogian.

South Dakotan Comes South For Summer Dr. Frank W. Jobes, visiting science professor, has been beardless ever since the day he left Yankton, South Dakota for Peru State to teach biology and genetics this summer session. The occasion for the beard, which Dr. Jobes was sporting on his first visit to Peru in April, was the state centennial celebration of our/ northern neighbor. Dr, Jobes enjoys the spirit of the midwest. "I'm a mid-westerner by birth, tradition, and inclination," he states. Dr. Jobe~, who enjoys teaching very much, is especially fond of lab sessions. The A.B. and M.A. degrees were earned by Dr. Jobes at Kansas State University. His Ph.D. requirements were completed at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Previous to his present position as a faculty member of Yankton College in South Dakota, Dr. Jobes spent nineteen years doing research for the United States Fish and Wild Life Service along the Great lakes. It was here he wrote his doctoral dissertation on the "Age Group and Production of the Yellow Perch in Lake Erie,'' which has since been published by the government. Dr. Jobes was instrumental in collecting the early data on the distribution of the sea lamprey when this dreaded parasite first became a threat to other fish, particularly the trnut, and commercial fishing in the Great lakes. I~ connection with this problem, which remains a source of concern today, Dr. Jobes worked with a Canadian scientist on a cooperative investigation into Canada. The Jobes family also spent some time on the · west coast. There Dr. Jobes worked out of Seattle, Washington, making physical surveys of the tributaries of the Columbia river to relocate the salmon runs that we re blocked by the Cooley Dam. Dr. and Mrs. Jobes and daughter Frances, 15, are living in the home of the John Christ family this summer. They will return to their home in Yankton in August.

The Nebraska Book company, Lincoln, is now conducting the operation of the campus b o o k store. On May 15, Peru State joined the other, state colleges of Chadron, Kearney and Wayne in accepting the services of.this company, which also operates an establishment for the University of Nebraska. The Lincoln firm has leased space in the new student union and is currently utilizing sh elving and furniture owned by P.S.T.C. At the end of the summer session, the firm will move into its own furnishings. These will include more shelves and display cases than are now available, according to Mrs. Harold Boraas, book store manager. Mrs. Boraas believes that the new arrangement will result in a "more functional" facility. "The store should always have new material,'' she stated, and then explained, "The volume in which the Nebraska Book company deals will enable it to constantly supply Peru students with a number of items which were not available in the past." Some of these items are being offered to Peru students this summer. Material now in stock includes plastic study guides, paperback books and various stationery supplies. Book store hours are: Monday, Wednesday and Friday-9-11 a.m.; Tuesday and Thursday-13 p.m.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Twin Sisters Have Much in Common Even after seven summer sessions, students and professors still have a hard time knowing who's who. Mrs. Constance McKinney Vanderford of Peru and Mrs. Lucille McKinney Gilliland of Auburn are twin sisters. Originally from Nora, the sisters said it was nothing new for people to be confused as to their identities. They said that their grandchildren and children are sometimes baffled. E~en their own father wasn't always sure. Not only do the sisters 1o o k alike, but their experiences also have been similar. Their grade . point averages were less than one tenth of a point apart when they graduated from high school. Both entered Peru State in the summer of 1922 with a major in elementary education. That fall, they taught in rural schools i.n Nuckolls county. After two years there, they accepted positions in Keith county. Their engagements to be married did not separate the twins. Constance and Lucille had a double wedding and a double honeymoon.

Campus School Chatter By Mary Anna Gnade Summer school. may just be falling into place for those attending college classes, but for the grade schoolers (observation material) the week before th e 4th was a series of endings.

This is where Miss Grush, Dr. Kite, Dr. May, Miss Ashley, and Dr. Blanton hold forth teaching teachers to be better teachers.

If that involved sentence leads you to believe th e campus school is an empty building with memories locked inside until September, take a quick look. It is well inhabited by a more serious minded breed busily engaged in gaining knowledge.

One difference between Constance and Lucille is)n their families. Mrs. Vanderford has three children; Mrs. Gilliland has four. But they all followed their mothers' footsteps to Peru State. Dale Vanderford, who teaches at Elmwood, received his bachelors degree from Peru in 1952. Dean and Anita Vanderford received two year degrees in 1954 and 1955 respectively. Gale Gilliland received her four year degree in 1953 from P.S.T.C. Also receiving a four year degree was Keth in 1956. He teaches in Ralston. Davida of Silver Creek and Norma of Syracuse received two year degrees in 1951 and 1955. Another slight difference is in their years of teaching. Mrs. Vanderford has taught for five years at Pleasant Ridge school in Nemaha county. After four years in Richardson county, Mrs. Gilliland will teach at Nehawka next fall.

The plans for the future for the sisters are alike-degrees fr o m Peru State.

Campus School Holds Pet Fair Tuesday, June 27, was a proud day for first and seconP. grade children in summer school at the Peru. State Campus School. Under the direction of Supervisor Mrs. Geraldine Straw, the young summer schoolers presented a Pet Fair in the Campus School Auditorium. The show was in conjunction with a study which correlated the care of pets with the care of children. With this in mind, the animal lovers learned that both children and pets need affection, sunshine, exercise, rest, good food, and water. For their efforts, each child received an award ribbon. In addition to the ribbon awards, special awards were given for the "sleepiest dog,'' "trickiest dog, ahd the most attractive cages. Judges for the fair were Dr. James May, Dr. Milburn manton, Mr. B.

The program consisted of choral art songs from the 16th century by the quintet; interpretations of four numbers composed by Brahms for four-hand piano and a quarti;t of voices with Giles doubling at the piano; colorful excerpts from Mozart's "Magic Flute," in whkh Miss Barretto portrayed Papagina; a pi,ano rendition of Chopin's "Waltz in E Flat" by Miss Hill; and familiar songs. in excerpts from "Carousel."

In an announcement on July 18, Dr. Neal S. Gomon, Peru State president, revealed that 150 thousand dollars has been allocated for the renovation of and purchase of equipment for the library. The renovation, to be completed by September 1, 1962, will result in the devotion of the entire building, with the exception of the "little theater," to library facilities. The "little theater" is used for drama, English and speech classes and as a meeting place. "The little theater will remain in the library building, although no t necessarily in its present (third floor) location," said Gomon. Present plans call for the art classrooms, currently sharing the third floor with the little theater, to move to the campus school. The northern portion of the top story of that 1building will probably be converted' into art classrooms. While discussing the time table for this work, Gomon said, "We hope to have . architects here within two -to three weeks, have plans submitt:'ed and: call for bids by November 1. Work will begin soon after the first of the year." Tentative plans have already been made to solve the problem of what to do with the library while work on the building progresses. It is anticipated that the "core," or main circulating portion of the collection, will be moved to the old Lewis home, south of the campus. The reference portion may be distributed about the campus by divisions, and periodicals will be moved to the campus school.

Summer Variety Show To Be Given In Convo Emcee Ken Sand will open the Summer Variety show for Peru students July 26, 10:40 a.m. Volene Albert, Sandy Stephens and Judi Wilson have been busy the last few weeks acting as talent scouts to round up acts for the show. They have come up with what promises to be a fine combination of humor ·and talent. Among the musical numbers· which have been planned are two duets: a piano-organ duo by Lois and Phyllis Remmers and a vocal duet by Clarice Tegtmier an d Russell Workman. Beverly Parde and Lois Remmers will each present a vocal solo. A comedy routine by Phil Fahrlander and an original "hat" show by Merna Thalmann and several other Eliza Morgan women will add a little spice to the show. An exhibition of physical skill and daring will be displayed by "Bart" Bartholomew on the trampoline. To round out the show with a bit of a change, little five-year old Janet Wilson and three-year old Pauline Anderson will perform a ballet number.

President's Tea Dr. and Mrs. Neal S. Gomon will honor the members. of the graduating class' with a President's tea. The tea will be in the Student Center lounge, 'Friday afternoon, July 28, from 2-3 p.m. M. Wilhite, Nebraska City; Verlin A. Yates, Randolph, Iowa; Helen L. Young, Horton, Kans.

By Julie Mayer These are busy times in Morgan Hall. Final touches are being added to term papers and reports and a few ambitious students have already started studying for final exams. This is an especially busy time for seniors. They are involved in the senior tea, the president's tea, picking up announcements, ordering caps and gowns, and all the other events leading up to graduation. Those students in the dorm who will graduate th i s summer are the following: Elaine Champ, Rose Clancy, Karen Fankhauser, Luanne Lindquist, Ethel Manley, Ruby Sauer, Merna Thalmann and Helen Young.

WAY BACK WHEN ... By Hanford Miller Jr. The scenery around Peru is taken for granted by many of us. Our landscape has been, and still is, some of the prettiest in th e state. The May 19, 1931, Pedagogian stated that Peru's scenery was recognized by the woman's club federation. "The Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs recently awarded first, second, and third prizes to three photographs of Peru beauty spots sent in by Mrs. W. R. Pate to represent the Peru Women's Club. When the scenery of one community wins all three prizes in a state-wide contest, that community is, surely justified in feeling that it has notable beauty." The following item from the April 28, 1931, Pedagogian may give the head librarian, Mr. Langham, ideas on how to select his student help: "On Thursday morning at 9 o'clock Miss Branson held the annual library tryouts. The s e tryouts determined whether any member of the present staff had the right to continue to be a member. With several guests to add solemnity and dignity to the occasion, Miss Branson and Miss Peterson a d m i n i s t e r e d the searching and grueling examination." Also for self-improvement, this article from the April 14, 1931, Pedagogian suggests r e a d i n g might be improved by the following: "The character of much that is read today is such that it fails to broaden interests and: to. cultivate systematically those attitudes and habits that characterize good citizens. The parts, of a newspaper read most frequently are cartoons, items relating to sports, personal violence and disaster, and serial stories. Reading should be taught as a friendly guide in solving personal problems, in increasing one's social efficiency or as a source of pleasure." The college s,pirit at Peru was lifted high on October 20, 1927, when a bobcat arrived from Arizona, alive and full of fight. A graduate of 1912 who became superintendent at Safford, Arizona, sent the spitting specimen. Peru was' the first to have a living symbol of their .college spirit. So it was "way back when .. "

Two Five-week Sessions Next Summer Beginning June, 1962 a tenweek session, divided into t w o five-week term6, will be held. A student may 'earn a maximum of twelve hours credit, six hours in each term. The program will be of special interest to teachers. According to Dean Keith Melvin, the main objective in changing the summer session is to make more effective use of the facilities and staff. Of interest to the student is the advantage of being able to take courses in sequence. There is a possibility of classes being scheduled five days a week, with classes one and one-half hours in length. Beginning courses will be available for recent high school graduates entering college. The summer school bulletin may be secured from the registrar. Graduate courses will be offered for purposes of certification or transfer. Detailed information on the graduate program may be obtained by writing the dean of Peru State Teachers College.

Music Department Presents Convo The summer band and chorus presented the convocation program Wednesday, July 19. Under the direction of Gilbert E. Wilson, the band played three selections. One was an arrangement of the Rodgers-Hammerstein music from the show, "The Sound of Music." Band members consisted of summer music students, campus school band members a n d other interested individuals. Two selections, "You Tell Me Your Dream" and "The Whiffenpoof Song," were presented by a men's quintet. Director Edward Camealy sang second tenor. Other quintet members were: Russell Workman, first tenor; Bill Galbraith, second tenor; Phil Fahrlander, baritone; Roger Russell, bass. The womens chorus sang four numbers. "Giannia Mia," an Italian love song, was the last number. Mr. Camealy said the song attempted to create a mood of floating down a canal in Venice.

HMr. Scouting" to Retire After 43 years as scoutmaster, 40 of them in Peru, Ansel B. Clayburn will step down September 1. Mr. Clayburn's 43 years of scout leadership undoubtedly places him at the top in years of service to Nebraska scouting. Perhaps it would be hard to find anyone in the United States who has devoted more years as a scoutmaster than Mr. Clayburn. Clayburn's scouting career started in Lincoln in 1919, and in 1922 he moved! to Peru where he has served since that time. Although he could continue his scouting for about another year, Mr. Clayburn s t at e d , "Scouting requires a great deal of outdoor activity and deserves the leadership of a younger man." This statement comes from a man who has "tried to average at least one hike a month" during his 43year tenure. Mv. Clayburn feels that by retiring in September he can give nearly a year's service helping his successor learn t h e "ropes." During his years of leadership, Mr. Clayburn has had approximately 15 Eagle scouts in his troop. The Eagle award is scouting's highest honor. Naturally, Clayburn takes pride in t h e achievements of his boys. Some have become· doctors; others, writers. One has done feature writing for Coronet magazine. As a dedicated scoutmaster, he

has received scouting's highest awards. In 1940, Mr. Clayburn was presented the Silver Beaver award by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. This award is' for distinguished service to boyhood. In 1958, "Mr. Scouting," received the Pop Warner Distinguished ·Achievement award of the Pop Warner Conference for Distinguished Service to Youth. That same year, the Peru Kiwanis Club recognized his work by providing a special .college scholarship for an Eagle scout from the Peru troop. A native of Monroe, Nebr., Mr. Clayburn holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Nebraska and has had additional study at the University of Nebraska and the University of Chicago. He has been a director of the Nebraska chapter of the National Council of Geography Teachers, has served one term on Peru's city council, and has been president of the Peru Kiwanis club. Mr. and Mrs. Clayburn are parents of three married childrenMrs. J. B. Johnson, San Bruno, Calif.; Ansel Clayburn, Stockton, Calif.; and Gerald Clayburn, Brentwood, Calif.-all graduates of Peru State and teachers. Both boys were scouts and Ansel, Jr., received the Eagle award.

Faculty Pursues Varied Hobbies "I have many and varied interests and have pursued quite a number of these to a satisfying 'degree, going on to other ideas intermittently." This statement of Mr. Silas Summers well expressed the "hobby history" of many instructors. The majority of the faculty members choose the out-of-doors for their few leisure hours. Forty per cent of the present faculty list fishing as a favorite pastime. Many enjoy all types of outdoor sports as spectators. However, it is not unusual to find a math or psychology professor participating in active outdoor games. Two instructors admit to being avid golfers. Many more enjoy th e game occasionally. Several teachers even find enough energy to play tennis. Hunting and camping are pastimes of a limited few, while gardening and woodworking are loves of a great number. Of our activity minded, Max Langham, who also e n j o y s leather craft, has been flying a number of years and appears to be the sole faculty pilot. Mr. Albert Brady's "parade of skeletons"-models in miniature -consists of an assortment of mammals which Mr. Brady enjoys constructing.

tor of Psychology who writes piano arrangements is more unusual. Edward Camealy, who a 1s o writes orchestrations, gives an example of his· work as a ·~oet in the next issue of the Sigma Tau Delta magazine. Still life scenes of Dr. John Christ are on display in his home. Dr. Harold B o r a as has a fine piano arrangement on record. Perhaps the least surprising of collections are the librarian's first edition book collection_:including an ancient Horn Book, a violin collection belonging to Mr. Victor Jindra, and an engine collection which Mr. Dee Jarvis incorporates into his classroom teaching. Other collections of interest include a pipe collection featuring hand-carved pipes from many countries owned by Mr. Robert Moore and an unusual book collection of humorous writings gathered by Mr. Richard Holmes, who also collects recordings of contemporary jazz.

Surprisingli enough, reading wasn't mentioned among these varied hobbies. Professors are not so different from students in this one aspect. Perhaps this one particular pastime comes under Photography fascinates several ,the heading of duty?? faculty members. Mr. Brady is completing a series· of movie reels on reptile life, and plans to use these in coordination with classroom lectures.

A majority of the anticipated students attended Nemaha high school last term, with a few at Auburn. Dr. Neal S. Gomon, Peru State president, reported that free high school tuition from that number of additional students would provide about $10,800 tax income, which would allow an improved curriculum.

Transportation charges. to Peru will be paid by parents of the children. Dr. Gomon estimated these charges would pay for the bus.

It is not surprising to find an

English professor interested in publication. Mr. Summers ha s had articles published and was recently chosen for Who's Who in American Education for work in this field. However, to find a musician who writes poetry, a science professor who paints mountain scenes in oil, or a Doc-

New Guinea curios· belonging to Mrs. Herbert J. Schauer of Wymore, who is a student on our campus this summer, are now on display in the showcase east of the library. The curios were collected from natives near Finchhafen in the late 1920's and early 1930's by Mrs. Schauer's father, Dr. F. E. Pietz, first American missionary in that area. Each of these items was made with stone age tools. Most of the decorative pieces• were worn by native men, who removed these items and proudly gave them to Dr. Pietz or his family. The grass skirts on display, worn by both sexes, were tied with native string and colored with a primitive dye. The blanket or "rampi" w a s stone pounded from a banana tree trunk. The samples of net contain strings made from grass which was rubbed and stretched to elasticity. The neck piece, fur from an average size tree kangaroo first tanned by the natives, was trimmed and retanned in America. It is the only item American treated. Feathers of the large flightless Caswary bird were tied with native string to form a headdress. The long brown bird of paradise feathers were used as a decoration for headdresses. Natives drew through the entire length of the bamboo pipe, which held cigars made f r o m strong native tobacco. The war adz, with the b i r d skeleton charms, held interchangeable stone blades. These blades were worn down, not chipped out as Indian arrowheads were. The model of a clay pot is authentic even to the design. Pot-
