... Mcintire Succeeds Wheeler as Grid Coach

Preceding Peru State's 47 to 12 Homecoming victory over-Nebraska Wesleyan, came the announcement of the end of an era. AI Wheeler, head football coach at Peru State for 23 years, announced his retirement gridiron duties at the end of the 1960 pigskin season.

Wheeler, the dean of Nebraska College Conference football coaches, will remain at Peru State as athletic director, head of the health-physical education division, and head baseball coach. Jack Mcintire, head basketball coach since 1956, was named his successor as head grid coach December 9.

Since coming to Peru State in 1938, Wheeler has coached Bobcat football teams to 133 wins, 12 ties and only 51 losses. During this skein, Peru State grid teams have captured six conference and two conference co-championships. The 1960 N.C.C. championship was a fitting climax to the 23-year reign.

In commenting on the retirement, Neal S. Gomon said, i'Although Al has compiled a tremendous record as a winning coach, his greatest contribution has been in the development of hundreds of men as outstanding teachers and citizens.

Mcintire, who will double as head coach in both football and basketball, wi 11 undoubtedly carry on in the Wheeler tradition. A 1941 Peru graduate, Mcintire played three years under the tutelage of Coach Al. In 1942, Mcintire served as line coach for the Bobcats. After duty in the Navy and high school coaching chores at Auburn and Falls City, Mcintire returned to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks in 1956 to serve as head basketball coach and assistant football coach.

She succeeds Mrs. Gertrude Fulton who has served an interim appointment since September 1. Mrs. Fulton previouslr served as counselor at Eliza Morgan from 955-1959.

Mrs. Morrison, a native of Central City, is a former teacher in Hamilton county rural schools. During the past two years she served as president of the Federated Women's club of Central City.

A State football machine upset the pre-season /redictions of the fourth estate and copP,e the championship of the Nebraska College Conference with a record of · 5 and 1. Wayne, Hastings and Kearney, ended conference play in a dead heat for second place with records of 4 and 2.

With only nine days of practice under their belts, the Wheelermen were plagued by fumbles and had to settle for a scoreless draw over Iowa Wesleyan in the season's inaugural at ft. Madison, Iowa. 'lb.en came impressive victories for the Bobcats over St. Mary's of the Plains, Dodge City, Kans., and arch-rival Kearney.

With title hopes kindled, the Peruvians hosted Hastings' Broncos and suffered a dispiriting 7 to 19 loss. With backs to the wall, the Bobcats fought gr1mly to eek out a 9 to 7 t.ri umph over Doane College, pre-season press choice for conference honors. Chadron's Eagles next felt the sting of the Bobcats and went down to defeat.

With a SRO crowd of alums looking on, Peru State routed the outmanned Nebraska Wesleyan Plainsmen 47-12 to capture the 1960 Homecoming game. With a share of the conference title at stake, the Oak Bowlers then :elayed their best game of the season trouncing Wayne State 25 to 0 to spoil the Wildcats' homecoming and 50th anniversary. Cbe week later, Wayne State stopped a Kearney bid for a share of the N.C.C. crown, and the

Foundation Results

Your Peru Achievement Foundation las accomplished many worthwhile achievements in the past, and with your support, will continue to do so in the future.

The on the oprosite page indicates that Malli Peruvians in 1960 had a part in the accomrlishments of the Foundation than in any previous year. The percentage of participation jumped to 8.4 in 1960 from 5.7 in 1959.

During the past year, your Foundation provided four one-year $100 scholarships for worthy students, a:lministered 27 scholarships provided by business, industry, civic, service, edu.cational and fraternal groups for 1960-61.

The Foundation made a $1,000 gift to the Student Center to provide furnishings for a private dining room. An appropriate plaque will acknowledge the A special $30 contribution from Northern California alumni assisted with the furnishings of the Student Center faculty lounge.

The Foundation has provided matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan Program, and indications are that this support will continue. Under the program, the ins ti tutio11 is required to match the federal grant in the amount of one-ninth.

Cbe of the most significant projects of 1960 was the Legislators' day program in October, which is described above.

These things, your Foundation trustees feel, have been worthwhile projects in fulfilling the objectives of the Peru Achievement Foundation--promoting Peru State.

This was the second time Kan and Sunada were guests of the experirre.htal foods class. Earlier in the year they were entertained at a dinner featmrins rice dishes. At the most recent dinner, fried chicken,_ apple pie and ice cream headed the menu.

Frank Sunada, a transfer student from the University of Hawaii, is majoring in speech and business. Upon graduation he hopes to teach junior high in Japan. His wish t6 snow has been realized twice, but he hopes there will be much more.

A liberal arts student, Frankie Kan transferred to Peru from Morehead (Ky.) State College. Previously he had attended college in Hong Kong for one year. Although they are Peru State's most distant students, they both chose the Campus of a Thousand Oaks because of size and location.

Foundation Fund Appeal Receives Early Response

Speaking before the Omaha area chapter of the Peru Alumni Association, Dr. Neal S. Gomon, Peru State president, pointed out that Peru State was founded with the philosophy that every student capable of doing college work should have that opportunity despite his financial status. As every Peruvian knows, today's college student is required to pay more than ever in history for a college education. For many, the ever inexpense is an insurmountable barrier.

The Peru Achievement Foundation is attempting to aid students in various ways. Each year, with money received from Peruvians and friends of the college, the Foundation grants a number of scholarships to worthy and qualified Peru students. Your Foundation pays matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan Program. Every $1 provided by_the Foundation is matched by $9 from the NDSL program. the loan plan, many Peru State students are able to borrow money to help them complete their college education. Part of the furnishings for the new Student Center were for by the Peru Achievement Foundation. To continue these and other projects, your continued annual support to the Foundation is needed.

The question may he asked: Do we as alunni and former students, who received a collepe education more inexpensively than today s young people, have a responsibility to current and future Peru State students?

Many Peruvians think so as evidenced by the 244 contributors who have given to the Peru Achievement Foundation between January 1 and April 30 of this year. These contributors are but a small percentage of the 7,000 Peruvians on the Peru Stater files.

If EACH Peruvian could spare at least $1 each year, the Foundation could do an effective job in helping young people further their education and also help in other areas where state allocated money does not reach. Again, do we as alumni and former students have a responsibility?

To those who have contributed this year --THANK YOU--to those who have not, think it over, and remember a contribution is an investment in the future.

Southern California Peruvians and friends--150 strong--gathered in Los Angeles' Chapman Park Hotel January 28 for a 12:30 luncheon meeting. The attendance figure set a new record for chapter activities since the first area chapter was organized in 1956.

The Peruvians were addressed by Dr. Neal S. Gomon,president of Peru State, who illustrated his ''Peru Progress Report" with color slides showing the recent $1.4 million building program as well as familiar landmarks.

One of the Peruvians present, Rex Truman, '10, 1470 Sierra Drive, Arroya Grande, sent this poem which was inspired from the meeting. It will help Peruvians of the first decade of this century recall their days at Peru:

Some Rhymed Reflections Of Old Peru, Nebraska "

With the first faint beams of dawning of the California sun

We start our jalopy rolling down the highway one-o-one. This is }he most day, for we re to meet aga1n

Some friends we knew in old Peru 'way back in nineteen ten.

We' 11 talk of class assignments done in which we were particular, And of the greater lessons learned in work extra curricular;

Alex Stoddard, student president-sure, and could h-e make a speech!

Miss Krebs, so firm, yet gentle when we first began to teach

Pink Renfro sparked our football team-few rival schools could beat 'em--

Miss Clark gave us our Latin, et so viter infinitum!

'Member Delzell's cute announcements, and the lanky Dr. Rouse, The glee clubs and the chorus which were led by Dr. House.

In Everett, and Philormthean we staged our own great show-There was no television nor commercial radio.

The restrictions of the women's dorm did not our joy enhance,

We preferred the and lanes more suited for roimnce!

In the mysteries of science here our fortunes sure fared well, For we had the best of teachers, Clifford Hendricks, Prof Brownell.

'Twas with these and many others that we grew in strength and power, Miss Ellis drilled our senior plar,-" When Knighthood Was in Flower.'

Now, though we've labored far and wide, this has seen us through, We still draw inspiration from those years at Old Peru!

Friends Establish Scholarship Fund Honoring Jindra, Rath

A new ruling by the Board of Education of State Normal Schools has resulted in the retirement of two beloved Peru State faculty members. Victor H. Jindra, music personified at Peru State since 1923, and George Rath, one-man foreign language staff since 1946, will retire this year.

The two educators were honored at a dinner Saturday, May 6, and there they learned faculty and staff members had established a fund to set up scholarships named for each man.

Many students who have studied under Mr. Jindra and Mr. Rath have indicated that they too would like to join in honoring them with contributions to the Jindra and Rath scholarship funds. Contributions may be made to the Peru Achievement Foundation and earmarked "for Jindra and/or Rath Scholarship."

Music Contest Attracts 1600

For the first time since 1957, Peru State hosted the Nebraska Activities Association District I and II Music Contest April 20-21. Some 1600 high school musicians from Southeast Nebraska crowded the campus in what some music educators called the best managed contest in many years.

AmonQ the honored guests and· dignitaries at the April 16 dedication ceremonies were (from left) Mr. A.V. Larson, Mr. Carl Spelts, Mr. A. D. Majors, Mrs. Harvey Hess, The Honorable Frank B. Morrison, and Dr. Neal S.Gomon. Their roles in the dedication are explained in the dedication supplement of the Peru Stater.

Governor Morrison Speaks at Forinal Dedication Cereinonies "

The Honorable Frank B. Morrison, governor of Nebraska, delivered the dedicatory address Sunday, April 16, for the recently completed $1.4 million building program. More than 5 00 heard Goveq1or Morrison call education "the most iniportan t business in which we are engaged." He continued that the "most important business of education is _and we will meet the problems of our time if we meet the challenge of providing good teachers."

He summarized many of the world's problems and called these "a challenge to the Y?ung to ignorance and prejudice. We must convince the world that our society come up with the solutions to our problems--if we can't God help us."

Referring to the new structures on the Peru State campusJ Morrison offered the hope that many future leaders.of our state will receiye in the new buildings. But he said._ ''hr_ick and f!lOrtar are nothing without motivation, dedication, and a sense of urgency that training minds is the most important objective."

He called for efficiency and economy in education, hut criticized those '\vho tell me we s:pend too much on education.u Governor Morrison criticized conditions in Nebraska are i>r 40% of the graduating teachers leaving the state.

Fol lowing the Governor's timely remarks, the visitors inspected the four new structures. Prominent among the visitors were three honored guests--Mxs.Harvey Hess, grand niece of Miss Eliza Morgan1; and the Messrs. A. V. Larson and A. D. Majors. Refreshments were served in the Student Center building. The cold, blustery weather which held the size of the crowd down at the dedication ceremonies, gave way to beautiful weather for the annual All-College Open House on April 30. Nearly 1, 000 visitors crowded the campus to see the new facilities, familiar landmarks, and attend the variety show in the College Auditorium. 'Ib.e All-College Open House is sponsored annually the last Sunday in April by dormitory residents.

The Buildings

Occupancy of the Student Center in J anuary marked the completion of a $1.4 million building program during the 93rd academic year at Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru. The four projects being dedicated today include the A. V. Larson Industrial Arts Building, the A. D. Majors Residence Hall, the additions to Eliza Morgan Residence Hall, and the Student Center.

Construction of the $500,000 A. V. Larson Industrial Arts Building was started in November, 1959, on a site south of the T. J. Majors Campus School. Cornerstone laying ceremonies by the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Nebraska were conducted April 25, 1960.

The two-level structure of steel and brick construction was occupied at the start of the 1960-61 school year. Designed and equipped not only for the instruction of all phases of industrial arts formerly offered, the new structure has made it possible to expand off erings in general mechanics, electricity and electronics, arts and crafts, and to add instruction in graphic arts and photography.

A. D. Majors Residence Hall was occupied by its first residents in September, 1960. Construction was started 12 months earlier on the three-story, fully air conditioned building situated on the west rim of the Oak Bowl overlooking the tennis courts. The main portion of the structure is curved opposite the bend of the street, with a one-story glass-walled lounge at the east end of the building.

In addition to the 45 combination studysleeping rooms designed for two student occupancy, facilities in A. D. Majors Hall include a television lounge and laundry room on the lower floor, lobby and residence hall counselor's apartment adjoining the lounge.

Two four-floor additions to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence Hall have increased living accommodations from 126 to 184. Construction on the West addition was begun in September, 1959, and completed in time for the beginning of the 1960-61 academic year, while the South addition on the site of old Mount Vernon Hall, was started in March, 1960, and completed in January, 1961.

The West addition, which includes a closed stairway at the west, provides space for 40

students in 20 combination study-sleeping rooms, with tile bathrooms on each floor. Accommodations on the three top floors of the South addition are arranged with two three-student suites on each floor and a tile bath. The lower floor is occupied by utility space. Rooms are furnished with wardrobetype closets, Hollywood beds, desks, chests, and chairs.

The Student Center, started in March, 1960, was built at the south end of the site of old Mount Vernon Hall, part of which was the original building in which the college began operation in 1867. The structmre is of classical, modern architecture.

The two-level modified T-shaped building features 24 pre-cast reinforced concrete columns supporting a concrete flat roof. A foursided glass pediment tops the student lounge portion, which is connected to the larger main portion with a glass-walled entrance corridor.

Housed in the two-story main wing are the dining room, small dining room, snack bar, lounge, kitchen, television lounge, book store, student publication offices, meeting rooms, faculty lounge and rest rooms. The lower floor's southern exposure overlooks a walled court area, which will be landscaped and used for outdoor dining. Completion of a game room on the lower floor below the student loungeiwas delayed until after the initial opening of the Student Center.

Residence hall projects and Student Center, totaling $900,000, have been financed through revenue bonds, to be retired from rentals. The Industrial Arts structure was made possible by an appropriation from the State Institutional Building fund.

Clark and Enersen, Lincoln, are the architects for the Student Center and Residence Hall projects, and John Latenser and Sons, Omaha, are architects for the Industrial Arts building. Thomas Construction Co., St. Joseph, Mo., were general contractors for all four projects. Sub-contractors for electrical work were Cesco Electric Construction Co., Inc., North Platte, and Electric Construction Co., Lincoln. George H. Wentz, Inc., Lincoln, sub-contracted the plumbing.

Eliza Morgan

Miss Eliza Morgan gave not only 26 years of service but also her name to Peru State. Arriving at Peru Normal in 1872 from New York, Miss Morgan served the college as "Preceptress," a combination residence hall housemother and dean of women. In addition, she taught literature and general history. Thirty-one years after her departure in 1898, a new women's dormitory opened its doors on September I, 1929, bearing the name Eliza Morgan.

"Her ideals for useful, honorable young womanhood, like those of Mary Lyon, founder of Mt. Holyoke College, entitle her to be remembered as the 'Mary Lyon' of the Middle West," writes Louise W. Mears, author of Hills of Peru.

Respect and admiration from the students and her associates accompanied her unquestioned authority and wisdom in guidance. In addition to counseliµg young ladies, Miss Morgan gave valuable advice to the young men on the campus. Miss Mears, former Peru teacher, quotes one gentleman as stating, 'I shall never forget the day when Miss Morgan instructed me how to show a young lady into a pew.' Another remembers advised to be more careful in his appearance when escorting 'Miss Morgan's dormitory girls.'
