Second Semester Enrollment Exceeds Year Ago Figure

Spring semester enrollment dropped, yet rose, depending upon how you look at it •

Following February registration, 962 students were enrolled for second semester classes • That figure was 82 less than the record fall enrollment of 1,041, but the spring total was 14 .5 per cent increase over the 840 students enrolled for the 1965 spring term.

Most of the drop from the first semester' s high tide may he explained by the graduation of 48, and the departure of 32 students by suspension for academic reasons..

Of the daytime the freshman class leads with 322, followed by 187 seniors, 183 sophomores, and 159 juniors. Ten are post graduates. Night class enrollment includes 101 students. Represented in the enrollment are 38 Nebraska counties, 15 states and Korea.

Projected enrollment for the 1966 fall semester reveals expectation of 1100 students.. The expected growth over last fall is small since there has been no increase in housing available to students. Next expansion in housing will come in September, 1967, with completion of the new 350-bed dormitory complex.

eliminated in the tourney's first round by Morris Harvey of Charleston, W Va., 103-110 in overtime, the Bobcats set a record of 13 appearances in the national Kansas City tour:ney. Peru had been tied for the tourney participation record with Haml ine University and Indiana State at 12, but the latter two teams were not in the 1966 NAIA cage classic.

Peru State won her way to the national tournament with a complete about face from 1964-65 when they compiled a 9-11 season record and ended u_p in the basement of the Nebraska College Conference with a 2-6 mark. .

This year's record gained 15 wins and 10 losses, the championship of the Na:: with a 6-2 mark, and the crown of NAIA District 11 with two victories in three games over Doane College in playoffs which determined District ll's representative to the NAIA tourney.

For Coach Jack Mcintire, the conference crown marked his sixth in 10 coaching campaigns at Peru State The NAIA tourney appearance moved his personal participation

Track Records Fall; Injuries Slow Squad

Injuries have played a key part to date in the track fortunes of Jack Mcintire's Peru State thinclads.

The injury bug stripped the Bobcats of their top two sprinters--Jim Hagemeier, Curt Holliman--and broad jumper Lowell Brown ing most of the outdoor season. It in the sprints that Peru was to have dominated this spring.

Better-than-average field strength and top notch distance performances have kept the Bobcats in contention in a season which has seen them win four dual meets, drop two, and place second in two triangulars.

In addition, Peru State competed in the Kearney State Invitational indoor meet; the Kansas State University indoor invitational, Midland Relays, and the Drake

Still to come are the Wayne Invitational and the Nebraska College Conference meet at Wayne on May 13-14.

Prep School Students Fill Campus For College-Sponsored Activities

The Peru State campus, already bulging with a record enrollment, saw its facilities taxed to the utmost this spring with an array of .events which brought nearly 2700 area.students and school officials to the Campus. of a Thousand Oaks since January 1.

In events ranging from athletic to scholastic, Peru State served its area by providing facilities for competition and enlightenment .

Like a of scouts, 200 area school men visited the campus on January 29 as 5uests at the annual Schoolmen's Day. In addition to visiting the newest Fine Arts Center building and other facilities and discussing mutual problems, the guests witnessed Peru State's 89-63 basketball victory over Wayne State.

After a February lull in special events, the area high school students hit the campus in full force in March. March 14-16 saw 28 teams competed in the 20th annual Peru State Invitational Volleyball Tournament for High School Girls. Murdock High spikers withstood the three-day trial in which nearly 350 competed to earn their second championship in the last three years.

Four days later, nearly 200 high school speech and drama students participated in the District II Nebraska School Activities Association Speech

Fifteen high schools were represented.

On the following day, March 19, some 50 high school journalism hopefuls competed in the Nebraska High School Press Association Contest co-sponsored by the University of Nebraska School of Journalism. Winners of the Peru State event later competed in the state contest. in Lincoln.

More than 700 students from 45 high schools battled on March 25 in the eighth annual Interscholastic Contest. Falls City and Johnson High schools won Division A and B championships, respectively. Points were

Housing Shortage Halts

Enrollment Increase

As expected, total .enrollment at Peru State College for the 1966-67 fall remained virtually the same as a year ago.

This year's total of 1,040 represented a decrease of three enrollees from the 196566 first semester figure. No increase was expected due to a lack of dormitory sr"lce. The housing pinch should be eased next fall when a 350-bed co-educational dormitory, now under construction, is scheduled for completion.

Full-time enrollment rose slightly over a year ago, 949 to 943, while evening class totals dipped slightly. 91 to 100.

Although the fall enrollment was exactly that predicted, more than 100 students were denied admission because of the lack of housing.

Fifteen Past Homecoming Queens Return

Blending the magic numbers of 100, 45, and 29, Peru State's 1966 Homecoming celebration, held October 22, was perhaps the most colorful ever staged on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

The number combination represented the college's lOOth birthday, the 45th Homecoming celebration, and the crowning of the 29th Homecominf queen. The latter was Miss Cecilia Evange ist, a vivacious senior from Newark, N X ., who was presented at halftime of the Peru State-Hastings College football game and crowned later at the evening dance . Miss Evangelist had as her attendants, Pat Knippelmier, Auburn; Nancy Guilliatt, Auburn; Mary Mowry, Beatrice; and Joan Sprieck, Louisville.

Fall Sports Scene

Cross Country Successes Contrast Grid Gloom

Dame fortune smiled this fall on Peru State's cross country team but inexplicable shunned the Bobcat football team.

Peru SAtate' s harriers, coached by Jim Pilkington, climaxed their.season November 26 by racing to a seventh place finish in the NAIA nationals run over the Elmwood Park course in Omaha Thirty-two teams from across the nation competed . Last year the Peruvians were third in the national competition.

Peru State's seventh place finish in nationals firmly established the Bobcats as the class of midland's NAIA teams. Peru's harriers outclassed all entries from Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa. The Bobcats finished ahead of such area stalwarts as Fort Hays, Emporia State, and Kearney State.

Prospects appear bright for next year. Only one senior will be graduated from this year's team.

Peru failed to gain first place in only two of 17 1967 meets--second to Kearney in the NCC and of course seventh in the national NAIA meet.

In contrast, Coach Ervin Pitts football team slumped to a 2-7 season record and a fourth place finish in the Nebraska College Conference A year ago the Bobcats had sur-

{continued from page 3)

In addition to these observances, five other Centennial programs have been presented since September. Dr.. Robert N. Manley, professor of history and chairman of the division of social sciences at Hiram Scott College, Scottsbluff, paid tribute to Nebraskaland with an illustrated lecture on the history and beauty of the state.

The world-famous Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers presented a concert before a packed audience in the Auditorium in October 20.

Peru State's home economics department took advantage of the Centennial atmosphere for their annual United Nations dinner October 25. Using a Nebraskaland frontier foods menu, the program featured Mrs•. Alma Larson of Falls City who spoke about favorite frontier foods in Nebraska history.

Peru State's memorable history was relived at an all-college convocation,November 2, when the department of special services presented .. Peru's Proud Past," an illustrated look at the past 100 years If nothing else was proved, Peru State's current students displayed sincere interest in the heritage of their college.

The Centennial observances will continue throughout the year, culminating in the Charter Day observance on June 20, 1967. Schedule of the Centennial programs was published in the brochure, The first 100 years, published and distributed by the College to all alumni former students in September

Golf and tennis fortunes at Peru State continued dark last spring as both squads trailed the field in the Nebraska College Conference standings.

prised fans with a stretch drive which netted them a tie for the conference crown.

Injuries played a key part in the Bobcat's grid demise as guarterback Carl Satterfield and end John Creamer were injured in the third game of the season. They had been ranked high nationally, respectively, in passing and pass Neither was able to reach top form again.

Victories came over Tarkio College, 2714, and Chadron State, Losses were suffered to St-. of the Plains, 20-27; Northwest Missouri, 14-40; Kearney, 0-54; Wayne, 0-13; Hastings, 7-13; Doane, 7-48; an4 Missouri valley, 32-42.

If any bright note could be found in the season it may have been in the final game of the season when Peru State fought back, apparently finding themselves for the first time in the season, from a 7-42 intermission deficit to make a respectable game out of the finale.

Only five seniors were lost from the club, indicating better depth and experience for the 1967 campaign which will find Peru playing the same nine opponents.

Foundation Receives Centennial Boost

Two goals of the Peru Achievement Foundation, Inc., appear to he within reach. If contributions continue at their present pace, it is likely that the 1966 calendar year will see the Founqation's receipts at an all-time high.Coming from graduates, former students, faculty members, and friends of the College, the support given this year's Foundation appeal has been gratifying as the purposes remain to receive gifts to provide financial assistance through scholarships and loans· to worthy students and to promote the College

The second current goal concerns the Foundation's efforts to make Peru State's Centennial year a significant time in the history of the f'oundation. Already, response to the Foundation's appeal which accompanied the summer mailing of the Centennial booklet, 'The first 100 years," has been heart-warmWouldn't you too like to he one of·the active supporters who will help hraska's first college into her second century of service to state and nation.

If you have not already done so, please send your contribution now to the Peru Achievement Foundation. The only gift too small is no gift at all. And remember, such
