Our Cover

1962 - 1963 Classes Provide New Sign

The current school year has seen completion of the Peru State College sign on our cover. Funds for the construction were provided by the graduating classes of 1962 and 1963.

Visitors to the campus are now greeted by the huge name plate which rests directly in line with the Avenue to the south of the campus. Facing the the Campus School building (not visible in the cover shot) is at left. In the upper left and upper right portions of the picture are the student center building and library, respectively. Behind the cameraman, as the picture was taken, is the Avenue Store.

Graduates of the class of 1914 will reC?gnize the posts directly above sign as the gift to the college by their class. Many of these graduates will have an opportunity to view the scene themselves, Sunday, May 24, when they return to the campus for the golden anniversary of their graduation.

College Receives AAUW Approval

Peru State College has become a Cor£Orate Member of the American Association of University Women. The membership followed a November announcement by AAUW President, Blanche H. Dow, that Peru State had been placed on the qualified list of AAUW. This action makes it possible for women graduates of the colle&e to be eligible for membership, including those who were graduated prior to AAUW listing.

The AAUW was organized in 1882, and today it has more than 142,000 members.

Peruvians Win Mayor Races

Jack Mcintire, '41, MS '58, head coach this year in football, basketball,and track, added another chevron to his sleeve,April 7, when he was elected Mayor of Peru. In his first venture into politics, Mclntire's campaign netted him a three-to-one victory. Another Peru State staff member, Everett "Pug" Clausen, fs '33, assistant engineer, was elected to the city council from the east-ward by a seven-to-one margin.

In near-by Auburn, the people's choice for Mayor was Claude E. Matthews, '29, president of the Peru Achievement Foundation.

'Cat Cagers Second in Confere nee

Peru State College was denied her fourth straight Nebraska College Conference basketball title and a fourth consecutive trip to the NAIA tournament by a talented Hastings College team.

Coach Jack Mclntire's Bobcats did themselves proud, however, by coming back after ? miserable start to end the season at .500, 13 wins and 13 defeats, and a 2nd place seven win-three loss conference record. At one time the Peruvians' record stood at two wins and eight setbacks, with some observers predicting the remainder of the season to be but an encore.

Without trying to be melodramatic, it was heart-warming to see the Bobcats become true Bobcats as they shrugged off the bad beginning to win 11 of their last 16 engagements. The only conference losses were two at the hands of Hastings, clearly the class of the conference, and a loss at the hands of Kearney in,Antelopelap.d.

Looking back with what we hope is ob-

Retireinent Brings

New Athletic Head

Ervin R. Pitts, 43, has been named head of the division of health and physical education, director of athletics, and head football coach at Peru State, effective July 1. Mr. Pitts will replace Al G. Wheeler as division head and athletic director and Jack Mcintire as football coach.

Wheeler retires from administrative responsibility, but will continue on the teaching staff, and as head baseball coach and assistant in football and basketball. Coach Mcintire remains at the rei;_ns of basketball and track, and will assist in football prior to the beginning of basketball practice.

Other coaching assignments next year will include: James W. Pilkington, cross country and gymnastics coach assistant. in track; Jerome D. Stemper, director of intramurals and assistant in footbal1; Larry Ebner, golf coach; Dr. D'ar:. rell Wininger, tennis coach.

Pitts, assistant coach and director of physical education at Southeast Missouri State College, Cape Girardeau, will not be new to the Peru State family, serving here in as assistant football coach and instructor of physical education.

From 1954 to 1956 he was chairman of physical education department, athletic director and head football coach at Dakota Wesleyan, S.D. For five years he was professor of physical education and assistant football coach at the University o,f South Dakota, Vermillion.

In 1961 he entered graduate study at the o! Missouri and was a graduate assistant in football. He has completed doctoral course work and is a June candidate for the Ed.D.

Mr. Pitts is married and has two sons one a college freshman and the other an 8th grader.

jectivity, it seems surprising that Peru State fared as well as she did in the hoop campaign. Prior to the start of the season, 1962-63's leading scorer, sophomore Ron Snodgrass left school and thus a huge gap at the pivot position. Two newcomers, Frank Empkey and Mike Harmon, rotated that position and a forward slot to score 479 and 452 points, respectively, in their first year of collegiate competition. Harmon, by the way, had not even played high school baske tba 11.

Much of the season saw the Mcintire men playing two sophomore lettermen guards and three front liners who had never worn Peru blue. Only one senior, a seldom-used reserve, will be lost to the squad and there is every reason to hope for a far better quintet next year. Hats off from the alumni mag to Coach Mcintire and squad who didn't know when to quit.

Scores

Golf, Tennis Have 'Fair' Success

The 1964 spring sport season will go down as the year of golf's renaissance. For the first time since the spring of 1957, a Bobcat varsity golf team has taken to the links, and with fair success. Coach Larry Ebner, also college business manager, has guided his linksmen to three victories--two over Tarkio and one over Dana--while losing five--two to Northwest Missouri, two to Creighton, and one to St. Benedict's.

In tennis, the Peruvians have captured three victories in seven outings. Coached by Darrell Wininger, head of the education division, the Bobcat tennis men whacked Tarkio twice and St. Benedict's once. Northwest Missouri dumped Peru twice, as did Creighton.

Still facing the Peru State golf and tennis teams are several meetings which precede the season-endin$ Nebraska College Conference meets at Hastings on May 22-23.

Bobcat Football Slate for 1964

Retirements Announced at Year's End

Four long-time Peru State faculty members will retire June 30. R. T. Benford, head of the division of fine arts; Alfred G. Wheeler, head of the division of health and physical education and Stacy Vance, superintendent of buildings and Miss Mary Clarke, assistant pro1essor of education and elementary supervisor.

The male faculty members will remain on the college staff in non-administrative duties. The retirements are mandatory under policies established by the Board.of Education of State Normal Schools which establish. age limitations on state college emplovees. · 9 0 Mr

Mr. Vance joined the staff in 1 2 , · Benford in 1926, Mr. Wheeler in 1938, and Miss Clarke in 1951.

In his 44 years on the college main tenance staff, Mr. Vance has worked as plumber, construction worker, steam fitter, fireman, before becoming maintenance chief, 1944: Replacing Mr. Vance will be Delbert E. 38 presently superintendent of buildings and grounds at Dana College, Blair. Mr. Gaines has been at Dana during the past four years. He is married and the father of four children.

Mr. Benford has held his present position since 1961. Well known as an artist and teacher of piano and organ, Mr. Benford is also widely known in the composing and arranging field. Since coming to Peru in 1926, Mr. Benford has on three occasions himself from the faculty for brief

periods totaling 4 years. One yeai gained him a master's degree at the University.of Michigan. Two years were spent teachir_ig vocal music in the Pueblo (Colo.) Public schools and Pueblo conservatory of music. During another year he taught vocal music at Iowa Wesleyan at Mt. Pleasant. His replacenient has not been named.

The retirement of Mr. Wheeler as head of the health and physical education department and athletic director ends an administrative career which started in 1938. Mr. Wheeler, who has at times coached all sports at Peru State, recorded enviable records both on the field and in the class room. football teams won 133 games, lost 51, and tied 12, while his basketball record includes 95 wins and 65 losses. In 1958 Wheeler revived baseball at Peru after its more than three decade absence. Mr. Wheeler will remain on the physical education teaching staff and will be head baseball coach and assist in football. His successor in administrative duties will be Irvin J. Pitts. A story on Mr. Pitts is found on page four.

Miss Clarke, who joined the Peru State faculty in 1951, was a 1945 Peru State graduate. She holds teaching experience in Pawnee County rural schools, Schuyler, Falls City and Pawnee City public schools. From 1939 1 to 1051 she was County Superintendent for Pawriee County. She plans to make her home in Lincoln, with travel included among her future plans.

Track Wins; Baseball Struggles

As track and baseball teams closed out the month of April onlookers found the track team yet to taste defeat in dual or triangular competition and the baseball team with a eight wins and eight losses record.

Coach Jack Mcintire, in his first year at the track helm, has seen his thinclads cop seven consecutive meets, including two ear.ly season indoor encounters. Dual track victories have come over the Drake freshmen and Northwest Missouri on the indoor boards and against Tarkio, Midland, Northwest Missouri, and Washburn outdoors. 1he Peruvians also handled Tarkio and Northwest Missouri in a triangular.

To date two Peru State outdoor records have been broken. A 440-rard relay team composed of Bruce Giovanel o, Southbridge, Mass.; Roger Crook, Salem; Dave Seward, Rockford, Ill.; and Curt Holliman, Rockford, Ill.; shaved four tenths of a second off the old :44.4 mark set in 1955 by Dick Adams, '56, Wayne Minchow, '57, Ramie Graves, fs '55, and Del Stoltenberg, '57. The pole vault mark of 12'9" set by Gary Adams, '59, fell to junior Charles Niemeyer, Deshler, who vaulted 12' 10", against Tarkio and Northwest Missouri.

In baseball, the Bobcats have had their troubles and are struggling with an 8-8 mark as they head into the May home stretch. The pitching has been good, although the "Cats miss the graduated Ron Kelley. Fielding nightmares have been costly. The Bobcats

have swept double headers from Tarkio and St. Benedicts', and lost twin bills to Omaha and Wayne State. Double header splits have come with Northwest Missouri, Kearney, and Hastings. Peru copped single game victory over Graceland and lost a singleton to Concordia.

A guess at the conclusion of the conference races in track and baseball gives the inside track, respectively, to Kearney and to Wayne.

1963 Foundation Year Ends

The Peru Achievement Foundation had its best year during 1963. In its ninth year, receipts totaled $11,016.64 from 547 contributors. The contributions came from alumni, former students and friends of the college. Previous record receipts were recorded in 1962 when a total of $9,888.98 was received. Alumni and former students who contributed between November 1, 1963, to March 31, 1964, may be found below. Is your name listed?

During 1963 the Foundation expended $10,706.05. This amount included 76 scholarships awarded totaling $5,279.50, and matching funds for National Defense Student Loans in the amount of $1,853.66.Seventy-five students during 1963 received NDSL funds totaling $18,192.50. The PAF invested $3,368.03 as directed by donors and trustees, and miscellaneous expenditures amounted to $204.86.

Assets of the Foundation, as of May 1--

the date of the annual meeting:

ipation, new areas of aid could be opened. Equipment for laboratories and classrooms could be furnished. Right now, it appears more funds are needed to equip the soonto-be-started Fine Arts building. More money could result in investments--interest from which could be used for more loans and scholarships. Worthy faculty members could be given grants for research or advanced study. Perhaps the Foundation could promote special events in observance of Peru State's centennial in 1967.

The Foundation can enlarge areas where it can be of to Peru State and future students with YO.JR help!

Matthews Re-Elected PAF Prexy

Claude E. Matthews,'29, Auburn, was reelected to his second year as president of the Peru Achievement Foundation at the annual meeting, May 1. Others re-elected were John L. Lewis, fs '48, Peru, vice-president; A. V. Larson, faculty '26-'58, Peru, treasurer; Donald K. Carlile, faculty, secretary.

Peruvians may be justifiably proud of their Peru Achievement Foundation, but let us not become complacent. It is possible with more alumni and former student partic-

College Continues

Areas of Service

Peru State College has earned the tag, "Southeast Nebraska's College". Her teaching staff, devoted to the training of young men and women of the area, give many precious hours of service to Southeast Nebraskans outside of the class room.

A quick look at this past year's calendar reveals events have brought more than 5,000 area high school students to the campus. Accompanying these students have been parents, patrons and followers, who from the satisfaction b;ought by these students, have been served by Peru State.

To list all the events held on campus this year whi0h have brought visitors to the campus would be nearly impossible, but those tabulated, and the approximate number of participating students include: district music contest, 2700; band clinic, 200; choral clinic, 500; speech contest, 200; scholastic contest, 650; open house, 500; basketball tourney, 96; class D district basketball tourney, 96; girl's volleyball tournament, 4Q8; invitational track meet, 700; class D and C district track meet, 400.

Homecoming Invitation Brings Response

'OLD PERU'

This poetic tribute to "Old Peru" was received from Inez Pettinger Warren, a member of the class of 1934,who resides at 834 Hale avenue, Edwardsville, Ill.

Is it thirty since I left Peru?

It doesn -t seem possible, It can't be true!

My, what changes that time has made Faces have vanished

And memories fade.

There was our President, Known as honest and straight

If you recall, his name was Pate.

Mrs. Dunning who had all girls in her care Saw to it, each was treated

Honest and square.

Miss Faulhaber who taught us

How to use gone and went

Most of her time on English was spent.

Grace Tear another in the fold.

Her pet cat stories were often told.

Miss Clark was a friend to all, How terrible when she had her fall.

There was Baker, McCollum, Maxwell

And many more too.

Who tried to improve me at "Old Peru."

Now I've drifted into the past

Being a member of the class.

I'm sorry I can't be there this year, I teach a class to keep me here.

Teaching school is my biggest I've been at it steady, since 34.

--Inez Pettinger Warren

Silas Barton's 'Peru' Poelll

Fifty-five years ago--Spring Commencement, 1909--one of the distinguished visitors to the campus was Silas R. Barton, State Auditor. At that fortieth commencement, his poem entitled:, "Commencement," was dedicated to the class of 1909.

This multi-versed poem by Mr. Barton was a successor to his ear lier "Peru" or "If I Could Paint a Picture," which has come to be regarded as the official school _poem, and which is reproduced on the cover. Lette:ring and art is by Leland Sherwood, assistant director of special services.

According to Louise Mears in her 1948 edition of Hills of Peru, Mr. Barton wrote the cover poem following his visit to the campus at commencement time. The fact that the foem appeared in the 1907 Oak Leaf and the 908 Peruvian indicates, Mr. Barton had attended earlier commencements at Peru.

The poem, "Commencement, " dedicated to the 1909 class on June 1, 1909, closes with this verse: "Well no matter what the future, this all-saying always true, all our happy school days are interwoven with Peru."

Mr. Barton's popularity was described by the Peru Pointer following his appearance at a July 5, 1909, celebration. Addresses were given by "Honorable Silas R. Barton and by C.B. Moore, being particularly well received. Mr. Barton is a favorite with a Peru audience, and his address received many compliments."

C. B. Barton, '09 class orator, is now professor emeritus of education, Cornell University. Another tie to the Peru poem is the tribute to Bert Swenson, '09, given at the Northern California meeting. (See page seven).

Peru Degrees Granted to 144 in

A total of 144 degree candidates were honored at the spring and summer commencements. The 92 spring graduates were addressed by Dr. Steven N. Watkins, superintendent of the Lincoln Public Schools.

$1 Million Building Progralll Underway

Three major construction projects are underway on the Peru State campus--Fine Arts Center, an addition to A.D. Majors Residence Hall, and an addition to the Student Center, Completion date for all three projects is September 1, 1965.

Rising on the site of the 78-year-old Music Hall is a $500,000 Fine Arts Center which will provide accommodations for music, art, speech and drama. The two-story, air conditioned structure will have its principal entrance from the south. The west half of the 170X76-feet structure will be devoted to music and the east half for the other arts.

The first floor will include band and choral rooms, a 214-seat concert hall, six music studios, an art exhibition hall, speech and drama classrooms, listening rooms, a recording studio, and offices for instructional staff. The second floor will include two classrooms, music and speech practice rooms, and the art complex

Sports Round-up

As the autumn chill continues its dip towards winter, Peru sports thoughts turn to the outlook for coach Jack Mcintire' s basketball season. Early season workouts appeared bright with six returning lettermen, including Ron Snodgrass, 6'7" center, returning from the 1962-63 season. Hopes were dimned when Ron was injured in an auto accident in early November. It appears he will be out of action until the first of the year. Jack is hoping his veteran varsity players will be strengthened by several transfer cagers and he can improve his 13-13 record of 1963-64 which placed the 'Cats second in the Nebraska College Conference.

Just completed was a rather grim football season, as the Bobcats found two wins in nine outings. Coach Ervin Pitts' gridders won over Tarkio College in a non-conference clash and over cross state rival Chadron State in their only conference victory. The win gave the 'Cats a 1-3 NCC record, which kept them from the conference cellar. Scores for the 1964 season: (Peru score first) 12 Tarkio 0 0

of classrooms, laboratories, studios and offices.

The building is windowless except at entry ways and in some office spaces. The art area will he sky-lighted. The exterior walls will be of red brick to harmonize with other new campus buildings. The east and west walls will be pattern brick of Flemish bond with black headers of the same design as in the Student Center building.

The addition to A.D. Majors Men's hall will provide 130 additional accommodations for men students. The structure will be an extension to the west of the present building with lobby, commons and recreation rooms on the three floors at the center of the over-all structure. The Student Center addition will increase food services preparation and dining area by 50 per cent. The dining area will make it possible to accommodate a number of different dinner meetings at the same time. Present serving areas will be unchanged, with new serving line added for the west dining areas.

The fall sports season was not without its bright spots. Coach Jim Pilkington's cross country team has a 12-2 dual meet record as they near the end of a fine season. Louis Fritz of Verdon has led the way for the Bobcat harriers in winning seven cross country runs and setting Peru State records for the 2.5, 2.8, 3, 4, and 10 mile cross country jaunts. Near the season's end, the Peru State runners rolled to an easy victory in the six-team Nebraska Wesleyan Invitational Cross Country meet at Lincoln.

Spring sports for 1964 found Peru participating in track, baseball, tennis and golf. Al Wheeler's baseball team posted a 13-8 season and finished third in the NCC standings. The 1964 track squad finished their season proudly posting a record of 102 with new Peru State records established in the mile run by Frank Graham, Pawnee City, 4:30.6; two-mile run, Graham, 10:01.3; 330yard intermediate hurdles, Roger Crook, Salem, 40.0; hof-step-jump, Lowell Brown, Alton, Ill., 4 '3", and the pole vault, Charles Niemeyer, Deshler, 12' 10" The thinclads placed fourth in the conference, with perennially strong Kearney State taking the top honors. Peru State posted a 3-5 tennis record and finished second in the NCC, while the golf team, reactivated after a lapse of several years, rounded out a 3-7 season and placed fourth in the conference meet.

Although Belated, Class of '14

Receives Thanl{_s For Gift

Twenty-four Peruvians who w.ere graduated from the "Normal" SO years earlier returned to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks for a reunion day on Sunday, May 24. At the time of the event, 82 of the known living members of the class had been contacted. Unfortunately, some did not learn about the event until after the memorable day.

The date of the reunion on Baccalaureate Sunday, 1964, was the exact same date as the Baccalaureate Sunday, 1914--Sunday, May 24. The coincidence goes even further in that the 9Sth commencement at Peru State, Friday, May 29, was exact date and day of the week of the 1914 class--SO years earlier.

During the year 1914 a total of 17S were graduated from Peru State. On reunion Sunday, 46 had been reported deceased and 47 had not been located. The 24 present represented one-third of the known living members of the class.

The SO-year class found the gift they had presented to the college at the time of their departure was still in use. The outdoor lamp posts, with four large globes, bear the name "class of 1914" on their bases. Dr. A. J. Jimerson, who later served as dean of students at Peru State, reported he was able to convince the manufacturer of the value the company would receive in advertising and thereby was able to swing a real bargain in the purchase.

Reunion day activities included a morning coffee hour and a roll call conducted by Dr. Jimerson. Letters were read from absent members. The class had as luncheon guests President and Mrs. Neal S. Gomon; Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Majors, Omaha, and Mr. and Mrs. Claude Matthews, Auburn. Mr. Majors is the senior member of the Board of Education of State Normal Schools, and Mr. Matthews is president of the Peru Achievement Foundation.

During the afternoon of their reunion, four members of the 1914 cl ass posed under one of the outdoor lighting fixtures purchased by the class and given to the college as their gift. They are Herbert Dressler, Fairbury; Ruby Huff Jones, DesMoines, G. c. (Cassius) Kennedy, Brownville, and Dr. A. J. Jimerson, Sun City, Arizona.

When giving his tribute to the returning members of the class during the Baccalaureate services, Dr. acknowledged the 1914 class gift, indicating the members were graduated before selection and installation of the outdoor lighting system.

At the conclusion of the day's activities, some of the members were able to take advantage of the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Cassius Kennedy at their country home near Brownville. Mr. Kennedy is a member of the class and Mrs. Kennedy, the former Ruth Courtright, is a 1915 grad.

Centennial Art

In preparation for the college's centennial year, 1967, Miss Norma L. Diddel of the Peru art department, requests information concerning drawings or paintings of the Peru campus the years. She would appreciate receiving the name of the artist, the approximate year of the drawing, and the medium.

Homecoming' Despite Loss

Peruvians from as far away as California returned for the 43rd annual homecoming at Peru State. At halftime of the Peru-Hastin;;s College

gGJ,rne, Miss Pat Wheatley, Cedar Hapids, Iowa, was crowned the queen of a homecoming on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.Miss Wheatley's father, the Hev. John V. Wheatley, a Presbyterian minister is a member of the class of 1934, and her mother, the former Virginia Muncy was a former student in 1934-35.

During the day-long balloting for new officers of the Alunmi Association, Bob Norvell, '58, Adams, superintendent of schools, was elected president. Other new officers elected: Robert Bohlken, '59, Peru, first vice-president; Lester Miller, '60, Beatrice, second vice-president; Karen Mcintire Hamm, '63, Tecumseh, secretary; Carol Ann Sudik, '63, Bellevue, treasurer.

The all-alumni luncheon at 11:45 a.m., attracted representatives of the years ending in '4' and '9'--classes which were honored with special tables. Earliest graduates in attendance were '99ers, Dr. H. Clyde Filley, 1336 North 44th, Lincoln, and Fanny Moore Smith, Riverton, Iowa.

The Industrial Arts Club, with a mechanical f ootbal 1 team, caµtured top award in the vrganization display competition. Other prize winning displays were by the Student Education Association and the Lutheran Students Association.

()nly disappointment of the day was the 50-0 defeat on the gridiron at the hands of the Hastings College Broncos. The annual P-Cl uh luncheon preceding the gan1e attracted a number of former varsity lettermen.

The homecoming play by the Peru Dramatic club, "The World of Carl Sandburg," was enthusiastically received. Their production of the Norman Corwin play under the direction of R. D. Moore, was one of the first by a college proup. The homecoming dance closed the day s festivities.

Matching Funds

According to reports received from the Association of State Universities and LandGrant more than 200 companies have matching programs. A number of Peruvians in some of these programs, make it £Ossible for a gift to do twice as much. Under these plans, the firm will give the same amount to the institution of higher learning as does the employee. Check if your employer has such a plan. If he does, your Foundation contribution and the resulting benefits to Peru State will be doubled. Check and see.
