Our Cover

The changing face o1 the Peru State College campus is revealed in the aerial photo taken in late April by James D. Levitt, associate professor of English and speech. At top, the Missouri River stretches from left to right, with the Nishnabotna River joining from the Missouri side. A highlight of the changing campus is Peru State's dormitory complex rising at lower right. The 350-bed dormitory system, scheduled for .co-educational occupancy, is.slated for use in September of 1967. The main campus is at left of the new dormitories.

Centennial Summer School Offers Workshops, Seminars

Eight special three-week seminars and workshops will highlight the 1967 summer offerings at Peru State College during the 1967 Centennial summer.

The seminars workshops are a portion of 86 courses being offered during the C?llege's two summer terms. Fortysix of the courses will be offered during the first five-week term. The first fiveweek session will open with counseling and registration on Monday, June 5, and classes will start Tuesday, June 6. The first session will close July 7 •..

Registration for the second five-week term may be completed on June 5 or July 6-7. Classes for the second term will begin Monday, July 10. The session will close Friday, August 11, with commencement exercises for summer degree candidates at 6 p.m.

During the first five-week session, students will have the opportunity to help Peru State observe Charter Day. Ch June 20, the College will commemorate the June 20, 1867, legislative action which created Peru State College as the first state-supported institution of higher learning.

On campus housing for summer session students will be in two recently remodeled dormitories--Eliza Women's Residence hall and W.N. Delzell Men's Residence hall. The 1967 Peru State College summer session students will be the first to hold classes in Peru State's remodeled and fully air conditioned Administration Building.

Dr. and Mrs. Samuel (Esther Delzell) Brownell, former faculty, '23, New Haven Conn., were May Fete visitors. Dr. Brownell' former U.S. Commissioner of Education and Superintendent of the Detroit public schools is the son of the late Prof. Herbert Brown: ell, Sr., faculty member from 1893 to 1910 Mrs. Brownell is the daughter of W.N. Del: zell, faculty member, 1905 to 1939. Dr. Brownell is professor of Urban Educational Administration at Yale University.

Fall Enrollment Expected To Jump to About 1200

Officials at Peru State College are expecting a fall enrollment of between 1,200 and 1,250, a jump of some 15 per cent. The increase will be made possible by the addition of new student living quarters in the new dormitory complex now under construction south of the main campus.

Indications are that two-thirds of the six structure dormitory complex will be completed by September, in addition to a food services building located in conjunction with the 342 bed complex. The remainder of the complex would then be ready for the 1968 spring semester. Two-thirds completion of the dormitory complex would make some 230 additional living spaces available for the 1967 fall semester.

Conjecture for the fall enrollment is somewhat hazardous due to an impending hike in tuition rates at the tax supported Nebraska colleges. Apparently tuition will be increased, how much is not known, and this increase could affect enrollment.

Enrollment continued to move forward during the spring semester. Final tabulation of the late January registration revealed an enrollment of 993 students.

The spring 1967 total was a three per cent increase over the 962 enrolled for the 1966 spring term. The spring total is only 47 less than the 1,040 enrolled during the fal 1 term, a fewer-than-normal reduction between the two semester's totals.

Represented in the enrollment are 293 freshmen, 231 sophomores, 228 juniors, and 217 seniors. Twenty-four are post graduates, and night class enrollment accounts for 105 students.

1890 MEMORABILIA RECEIVED

The College has received a collection of Peruviana from Lillian Jones (Mrs. Glen) Auble of Ord. The memorabilia belonged to her late parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Wyne) Jones, who were members of the class of 1893. Mr. Jones has been deceased for a number of years, and Mrs. Jones passed away March 14 at Ord.

Included in the collection is a so·uvenir photo plate of Normal Hall and the Library, photographs of students, faculty, campus and town of Peru, catalogs and programs. The class history and class poem were written by Mrs. Jones and Mr. Jones, respectively.

100-Year Events Cover Varied Topics

Since the. publication of the 1966 fall Peru Stater, the return of two illustrious Peru State alumni for major Centennial Convocation presentations has highlighted the College's birthday celebration. In all, 10 major events have been presented since our last publication.

On February 1, Dr. E. C. Beck, class of 1912 and head of the Peru State English department from 1923 to 1927, presented an all-college convocation on Western Folklore. Then on March 9, Marion Marsh Brown, a 1927 Peru State graduate and student of Dr. Beck, delivered a Centennial lecture on Nebraska Authors.

Dr. Beck is professor emeritus of English at Central Michigan State University, Mt. Pleasant, and a nationally known authority on Western Folklore.

ively, at Stillman College, Tuscaloosa, Ala. Dr. Beck's second retirement which started last June was interrupted again this year to teach a trimester at Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton. Recent word from the Becks indicates that by the time we go to press, they' 11 be in Europe touring Poland, Hungary, Germany, and Russia.

In his February lecture to Peru State students and faculty, Dr. Beck colorfully covered Nebraska's folklore heritage. Dr. Beck has authored several volumes of ballads and folklore, including Songs of the Michigan Lumberjacks, Lore of the Lumber Camp, and They Knew Paul Bunyan.

Marion Marsh Brown, professor of English at the University of Omaha and widely known authoress, paid tribute to Nebraska Authors during her March 9 lecture. She gave tribute to Mari Sandoz, John G.

Longfellow Writes 100-Year History of Peru State College

A history of 100-year-old Peru State College, written by Ernest Longfellow, is scheduled to come off the press in mid-May in conjunction with Peru Centennial celebration.

Inspired by the twin Centennials of the State of Nebraska and Peru State College, Longfellow's history is entitled, The Normal on the Hill: One Hundred Years of Peru State College. Later, Longfellow, who is employed by the College as a carpenter, hopes to expand this work into a history of the town of Peru.

Longfellow, a 1921 Peru State graduate, writes a weekly sportsman's column for the Auburn Newspapers, and he has published articles in various lliagazines. Recently he wrote an article for the U.S. Travel Service on Nebraska for inclusion in overseas publications outlining tourist attractions in the United States. Longfellow has also written a section on sports and recreation for inclusion in a Centennial history of Nemaha County.

The volume on Peru State College history is being published by The Augustine Company of Grand Island. Upon its completion, the book may be purchased at the Office of Special Services at Peru State College. The price is $2.75 if purchased at the office or $3.00 by mail. Only 1,000 copies are being published. If interested, contact the office of Special Services, Peru State College, Peru, Nebraska 68421.

The total includes 29 January and 35 May candidates for graduation, and 34 graduates. All but one of the placements involves the teaching

Mr. Johnson indicated that the teaching field this year in Nebraska offers the best opportunity in many years for the teacher. He cited salary increases across the state which have brought the average salary in Nebraska public schools above the averages both Kansas and Missouri. As a result, the competition for good teachers and especially good experienced teachers is even more keen than in the past.

Remember! 1967 Homecoming

Saturday 1 October 14

Damp Season for Spring Sports Quartet

Weather has plagued the four-pronged spring sports season at Peru State.

Rain and cold weather forced the cancellation of one baseball double header and the postponement of three twin bills until a later date. One track meet was postponed and a tennis match suffered the same fate.

Coach Joe Pelisek's Peru State baseball team, through April 28, had run into tough luck in winning four and dropping eight games in the first portion of the 28-game schedule.

Through the first twelve games, the Bobcats were stymied in sweeping any of the six twin bills. Splits were earned with Crowder College, Neosho, Mo.; John F. nedy College, ,Wahoo; Washburn University, and Kearney State. Double header losses were inflicted by Creighton University and Northwest Missouri State. A second double header against Crowder College was cancelled and twin bills with Wayne State, Hastings, and St. Benedict's were moved back in the schedule due to rain-caused postponements.

The Bobcat baseball team, hopeful of an NCC championship when the season started, have had their hopes threatened by the late rescheduling which may take its toll on the Peru State pitching staff.

Coach Jack Mcintire's track and field team has shown marked improvement since the season started indoors in mid February. Indoors, Peru defeated Omaha University and Nebraska Wesleyan in a triangular and participated in the Kearney State and Kansas State University relays. Outdoors, Peru defeated Tarkio 98-38; placed second in a triangular at Northwest Missouri State (N\\M 86, Peru 80, Clarinda, Iowa, JuCo 14); edged Wayne State 76-69; and Nebraska Wesleyan 92.5.8. •.

Still rema1n1ng on the schedule are the Drake Relays, a triangular with Tarkio and Concordia, the Wayne State the Howard Wood Relays at Sioux Falls, S.u., a dual with Qnaha University, and the NCX: meet at Oiadron.

Two freshmen have turned in outstanding performances. Mike Mulvaney, Independence, _Iowa. bettered Peru State's discus record of

158'6W' set by Gner Meeker in 1947 with a toss of 160'6X". Sprinter Rich Rech, Grand Island, equalled the 27 year-old 100 yard dash mark of Jim Mather of :09.7. Peru's distance medlay team clipped :03.2 seconds off the one year-old record. This year's team of Jim Watson, Red Cloud; Jim O'Donoghue, Worcester, Mass.; Roger Neujahr, Gresham; and Tim Hendricks, Omaha, ran the distance medlay in 10:50.8 for the record.

During the indoor segment of the season, five new marks were set for future 'Peruvians to shoot at. Tim Hendricks turned in mile and two mile standards (4:23.9 and 9:44 times, respectively); George Goepfert, Rockford, Ill., high jumped 6' l" ; Gerald Wilson, Cleves, Ohio, vaulted 13'W'; and Mike Mulvaney put the shot 46'9".

In golf and tennis, success has been spotty. Coach Ervin Pitts' golfers have won one and lost three while Coach Darrell Wininger' s tennis team has won one and lost one.

So-So Hoop Campaign Harvests 12-13 Record

For only the third time in the past 11 years, Peru State College suffered a losing basketball season during the 1966-67 campaign, posting 12 victories and 13 losses.

Biggest disappointment was the 2-6 Nebraska College Conference record which slid the Peruvians from the 1966 championship to a 1967 tie for the bottom rung on the loop ladder. Chadron State captured the title.

Two bright spots in the season were tournament victories at the McPherson (Kan.) College Tournament and at the Simpson College Tournament at Indianola, Iowa. Unfortunately, the tournament success didn't last as the Bobcats lost out in the championship game of their own Holiday Tournament, hosted this year at Tecumseh.

Three lettermen were lost this year bI Dean Cain, Thurman, Iowa; Bil Rinne, Burchard; Ron Snodgrass,Seward. Snodgrass became the second highest scorer in all-time Peru records with 1,369 points, and Cain.the fifth best scorer in history with a career total of 1,132 points.

Grads, Former Students Continue Support

The first four months of 1967 indicate that the Peru Achievement Foundation may have difficulty matching the record-setting year of 1966.

During 1966, PAF receipts were $14,464, coming from 665 alumni, 46 friends, 72 ent and former staff members, and 26 civic, educational, service, and fraternal groups. In the first four months of 1967, receipts have been $4,864. During the same period last year, receipts were $6, 635.

Records reveal that the Foundation has $17,970 in matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan program since 1959. These funds have made possible loans totaling $179,702 to worthy students.

During the 1966-67 academic year, the PAF provided $3,698 in matching NDSL funds. In the same period, scholarship awards totaled $6,171.

Unless more res_ponse is realized, it appears likely that 1967 receipts will trail those of last year. Only you can help re-

The PAF is apEreciative of those who have contributed. It is hoped many others may find it possible to do so during this the lOOth birthdar of Peru State College.

A gift of $ ,000 from Mrs. Inice Dunning of Forest Hill Manor, Pacific Grove, Calif., has been received by the PAF. The gift, to establish a scholarship in industrial arts, is in memory of Mrs. Dunning's son, Mac, a 1930 Peru Prep graduate and' a former student at Peru State in 1930-31 who died while continuing his studies at the University of Nebraska.

Mrs. Dunning, a 1925 graduate and former Dean of Women at Peru State, is now blind and lives in a retirement home. It was Mrs. Dunning's wish to establish an I.A. scholarship because, "It was in that field that Mac found such pleasure," she said.

Story Relates Homestead Life of Peruvian Family

Appearing serially in the Springview (Nebr.) Herald is "End of No Where," a special Centennial feature written by the late Mamie Mutz, '04, art from 1905 until 1913. The story, according to her sister, Eunice Mutz Heard, '16, 4527 Beaver, Des Moines, relates the childhood of the Mutz children on the homestead of Mr. and r&s. Otto Mutz at Burton, near Springview. Purchased in the middle eighties, for 25 years the Mut;i;;es "ranched"and raised a ·family of 10 children. Mr. Mutz was an early day graduate of Peru.

According to Mrs. Heard, whose husband is C. H. Heard, a biology teacher at Peru at the time she was a student, "we are all graduates of Peru." The family remained on the ranch until 1910 when they left, mainly because the children needed more schooling.

The story was started Ly Mamie Mutz about 1936 when she was in New York on a sabbatical leave from Stout Institute at Menomonie, Wis. While in New York she was involved in an accident and was

for three years. It was during this time she started writing of the years on the ranch. Mrs. Heard helped research the information, and with the assistance of her sister, Hofe (Mrs. W. H.) Young, '15, 3434 North Milbrook avenue, Fresno, Calif., the story was organized into twenty chapters.

Miss Mutz remained an invalid and was blind until her death in 195Q. The editors of the Peru Stater feel that this work is a fitting tribute to the pioneers of Nebraska, and predict that it will be published later in book form.

In the chapter dealing with the Fourth of July celebration, she relates the introduction of the speaker of the day--her father:

"He told the people that her father had been educated at the State Normal School in Peru, that he had taught school, but had recently brought his family to make their home in Keya Paha County. Chris said they were lucky to have a man who could make an address Ii ving among them."

She notes that her sisters, Ellen Wahlstrom (Mrs. Phil) Ekblad, '09, and Ebba Wahlstrom (Mrs. Robert) Edstrom, '12, still live in the home town of Wahoo. Mrs. Johnson's home is at 724 Vattier, Manhattan, Kan.

Legislative Action Closes Campus School

By action of the Legi sl a tu re of the State of Nebraska in .1 ate spring, the campus and high school, located in the T.J. Majors Campus School building at Peru State, was dissolved by passage of an amenanent attached to LB546. a bill introduced by State Senator Calista Cooper Hughes. Thus ended the 1 aboratory school on the Peru State campus which had existed sp asmodi call y almost since Peru State Col1 ege was founded.

Wi the pas sage .of the bill, District 3, which had contracted with Peru State Coll to provide educational facilities and instruction for its children was merged by order of Nemaha county su'perinwith District 29, the Auburn School Di strict.

With the overtaxing of facilities in Auburn and a desire to m'ti.intain an attendance Peru for students in this area of District 29, a $1.8 million issue was voted upon and passed on November 21 As .a .result, a senior high school !iddi Calvert Elementary school will be built in Auburn. A part of the bond issue will furnish funds to construct an elementary attendance center in Peru. The present Auburn senior high building will be used as a junior high.

Placement Bureau Report . . .

Teacher Supply Short of Demand

Eighty per cent of Peru State's 1967 graduates are now engaged in the teaching profession, according to figures rel eased by Harold W. Johnson, director of placement.

Twelve per cent of the graduates a-re employed in non- teaching occupations, five per cent are enrolled in graduate schools, ahd three per cent are in the armed forces. Of those in the teaching profession 64 per cent are teaching in Nebraska. '

Mr. Johnson reports a growing trend of representatives of business, industry and allied occupations to visit the Campus' of a Thousand Oaks in search of college graduates. Johnson reports that these representatives care Ii ttl e whether the graduate has liberal arts or an edu ca ti on degree they are looking for good people people who they can train," he said. '

In line with the growing demands for Peru State graduates in non- teaching fields Johnson's placement office has on hand fi_l e of terature opportunities in business and industry areas.

Johnson is quick to point out that despite the growing interest in Peru graduates by employers in non- teaching fa el ds, the tremendous demand for Peru trained teachers continues with far mo re demand than the supply can meet.

The following report of those accepting P?sitions, _their home towns or present teaching location, and their new location of 139 job placements. In last spring s Peru Stater, 98 placements were reported.

Secondary education- - Steve Pat ti son Gering, to Bagley, Iowa; Wayne Christen: sen, Val_paraiso, to Murray, Iowa; Ruth Hiawatha, Kans., to Harl an, Iowa; Fl attre, Lancaster, Kans., to Louisville; Larry Anderson, Pawnee City to Tecumseh. '

Cross Country Success

Cross country continues to dominate the sports success picture at Peru State C.01l ege. On November 26, the Bobcat longdistance runners raced to a national seven th pl ace finish in the. champion ship run of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics held at Omaha.

It was the Bobcats third year in the top 10. In 1965 Peru was third, and last year it was another seventh pl ace finish. Freshman Jack Weyers paced the Bobcats in the national meet, pl acing 14th in the fi el d of 20 5 runn e rs.

For Coach Jim Pilkington' s charges, the season was filled with success as only twice, including the national meet, did the Bobcats finish out of first pl ace. Peru pl aced fifth in a nine team field in the season opener at South Dakota State University, Brookings, for their other out of the money run. Peru captured victory in nine of the 11 outings.

One of the big victories came in the Nebraska C.011 ege C.On ference meet where Peru dethroned Kearney State, loop champion for the 1 ast 14 years. The Bobcats were al so champion of the Midwest AAU Meet held at Kearney. Other victories were in the District 11 NAIA meet; over Omaha University and Wayne in a triangular; over Doane in a dual; over Tarkio in a dual; over John F. Kennedy and Midwestern in a triangular; over Oinaha U. in a dual; and over Tarkio and C.Oncordi a in a triangular.

Weyers and senior Tim Hendricks were the big guns. Weyers 1 ed the Peru con tingent in seven meets, Hendricks twice, and in two meets Hendricks and Weyers ran dead heats.

Three seniors- -Hendricks, Jim Watson, and Dick Zaparanick--closed out illustrious careers this year for the Bobcats.

Weyers' 14th pl ace finish in the national meet will earn him NAIA Al 1-Ameri can honors. Louis Fritz, 1966 graduate, earned similar honors for his performance in the 1965 meet.

Track Team Places Third In NCC; Nine Records Fall

Coach Jack Mcintire' s 1967 track team pl aced third in the Nebraska College Conference track and field meet held in May at Chadron and Kearney.

A freak spring snow storm wiped out the second.day of the meet scheduled for Chadron and the meet' s final day was moved to Kearney. Kearney again cap tu red the championship, Chadron was second, Wayne fourth and Hastings fifth. '

;In other meets not reported in the Spring Peru Stater, Peru downed Concordia and Tarkio in a triangular; captured the championship of the five team Wayne State Relays; defeated Omaha University in a dual; and pl aced midway in the five- team NCC meet. Peru State al so p arti cip ated in the Midland Relays, Kearney Relays, Drake Relays, and Howard Wood Relays, meets in which no team scoring is kept.

Diring the 1967 campaign, nine new Peru State track records were set and one was tied by the Bobcats.

Cages Roll Wins After to Six Straight Initial Set-Back

Coach Jack Mcintire' s Peru State basketball team absorbed a season-opening loss to Tarkio (Mo.) College and then surprised everyone (except for themselves) as they rolled to six straight victories to give Bobcat hoop fandom bright hopes for the 1967-68 26 game schedule.

Scores of games played through Decemrer 9, Peru score first, include: Tarkio ( 5671); McPherson C.Oll ege (92-64}; Kansas Wes1 eyan (97-87); Concordia (92:87); Southern S.D. State (70-1)9); General Beadle (70-67); Northwest Missouri (83-69)

The victories over McPherson and Kansas Wesleyan gained the Bobcats the championship of the McPherson, Kans , Jaycee Tournament for the second straight year. Still facing the Bobcats are 19 games, including the Tarkio (Mo.) College Holiday tournament, December 22-23. ·

Early season guesses about the Nebraska C.Ollege _Conference show Peru only in the role of a dark horse contender. Defending champion Chadron State should be the favorite with both Wayne State and Hastings as title threats. If progress continues, Peru State could fool them al I.

The remainder of the schedule, foll owing the Tarkio tournament, udes: Jan, 5, Kearney; Jan. 8, at Northwest Missouri; Jan. 13, Doane; Jan. 18, at Tarkio; Jan. 19, at Hastings; Jan. 23, St. Benedict's; Jan. 'l:', Wayne; Feb. 2, at Kearney; Feb.6, Simpson; Feb. 9, Chadron; Feb. 10, Chadron; Feb. 13, at Doane; Feb. 17, Hastings; Feb. 21, at Wayne.

'67 Grid Record at 1-7-1 For Worst Season Since 1938

Football fortunes at Peru State continued dark during the 1967 season as the Bobcats compiled a 1-7-1 record and a fourth pl ace finish in the Nebraska College Conference, the worst season since the Bobcats won only one of eight games in 1938.

As disappointing as any game was Peru' s 7 -14 loss on Homecoming Day to Wayne State C.011 It was the second consecutive alumni day loss for the Peruvians. The only bright spot on the 1967 record was a 23 to 7 verdict over NO::: foe Hastings College, a victory which enabled Peru to gain fourth spot in the conference by shoving Hastings in to the basement.

Peru's tie game came in the second. game of the season, 7 - 7 deadlock against St. Mary of the Plains of Dodge City, Kans., at Peru.

In post season honors, Shenandoah, Iowa senior John Gilmore, offensive tackle and defensive rard, was named to the District 11 Nationa Association of Intercollegiate Athletics all-star team. Gilmore and teammates Mike Mulvaney, sophomore from Independence, Iowa, and senior Tim Logsdon, Macomb, Ill., were named to the coach's allconference team.

Season's scores, Peru score first column:

a Real Fine Homecoming

Peru State's action-packed October 13-15 homecoming week end focused on the Second Century. The Industrial Arts Club's Century II computer, "'Programed to Win" won first in the organization displays at the 46th annual grad day event. Alpha MuOmega, math fraternity, pl aced second, and Centennial Residence Complex won third.

Alumni from Okl ah om a, Colorado, New York, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, Kansas, California, South Dakota, New Jersey, and Iowa joined those from throughout Nebr ask a for the three- day event, which was climaxed with dedication of the Fine Arts Center and the Centennial ResidenceComplex on Sunday.

During day-long balloting for new alumni officers on Saturday, Marvin Gerdes, '53, Auburn, was elected president of the Peru Alumni Association. Other officers elected were Ken Cl ark, '58, Nebr ask a City, first vice-president; Mary Riley Bohlken, • 66, Peru, second vice-president; Tom Aitken, '64, Fal 1 s City, secretary; and Carolyn Parli Hawxby, '61, Nemaha, treasurer.

Halftime of the Wayne State-Peru State football game saw Miss Ihnita Speckmann, Elk Creek, presented as homecoming Her attendants were Mary Mowry, Beatrice; Lola Morrissy, Omaha; JulietHa_rrison, Wood River Ill., and Linda Knippelm1er, Johnson. Miss Ceci Evangelist, '67, the 1966 queen,

a second grade teacher at Sodus, N. Y., crowned the gueen at the homecoming dance.

The 7-14 loss to the Wayne Wildcats was the cloud which darkened the otherwise perfect day. An alumni coffee followed the game, with the Dramatic Club's presentation of two one-act plays, "Ralph Roister Ih i st er, " and " Ma cBe th" at 7 p , m , an d the dance closing Saturday's activities.

The Foundation received funds which will permit the granting of two scholarshi2s annually to qualified students. Family and friends of GlPnn D. Jenkins, member of the class of 1909 and late resident of Humboldt, contributed $1,564 for a Memorial Scholarship to provide an annual scholarship to a Humboldt High school graduate or a Richardson county resident.

ness education. The contribution in honor of Miss Nona Palmer, emeritus of business education, in Bradshaw and \\bittier, Calif.

The Fall fund drive, which began about October 1, has resulted in contributions totaling more than $3,000 to December 1. Peru vi ans may expect to receive the 19 68 Foundation appeal sometime in March.

Contributions from Peruvians during this year which in part are used for matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan program will make available $46, 800 in loans to students. Average gift in the fall campaign to date is between six and seven dol 1 ars with the largest being $1, 000 and the smal 1 est $1. 00. About 300 of the 7, 500 on the Peru Stater rolls answered the Fall appeal

Peru State College, with the largest enrollment in history, needs more support from more of its graduates and former students. Foundation o ffi ci al s are, however, heartened by the interest of many to make the PAF a part of their estate plans. Those interested in this line of giving should write the office of Special Services at Peru State for the infonnation booklet "Effective Giving through· your Will," which will be sent upon request

He pointed out that the population explosion .has ma.de no longer poss1ble t.he past s.olu.tions. of conquest, colonizat1on and 1mmigration. stead of moving to new lands and competing against nature, people must. stay put and compete with each other. This fact. ls the teacher that he must be a specialist. or an expert in !iis teachinl;? field if he is to lrep·are this new society for these chal enges.

Dr. Neal S. Gomon, college pr_esident, presented Dr. Pate a commemmorati ve centennial plaque followi.ng the In addition John L. Lewis, Peru, president of the Peru Achievement Foundation, made the fonnal presentation to the college of the Centennial Gift pain ting of the South-: ern C:=tlifornia chapte_r o_f the .Peru Alumni Associat1on.

on "Three Explosions, Plus One, Mr. Terry, a Peru student during the 1925-26 academic year, called for the dedication of "ourselves for some great purposes."

Through the communication exp! osion we have the opportunity of understanding one another. The population explosion must. be slowed down, and the knowledge expl os1on must be speeded up, Mr. Terry said.

"It is alarming--yes--frightening also to 1 i ve in the age of a possible fourth explosion, which in one blinding, searing fl ash, could terminate civilization."

Dedication is essential if we want for ourselves and future gene:tations--the opportunity to 1 i ve the ts of the other three explos1ons--and without

the finality of the fourth, Mr. Terry continued.

"We must dedicate ourselves to a greater search for know! edge, making every effort to be sure that know! edge becomes the benefit of all in stead of the few.

We must dedicate ourselves to better communications with our fellow man wherever he may live--next door--or on the opposite side of the earth," he urged.

. Gi_lbert Puruck.er, '40, elementary school principal at Elk ridge Elementary school in suburban Baltimore, Md., and his "Startl ing Reading Method" was the subject of a feature story in the February 26 San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle. The story concerns his reading method which employs a unique cornlJina ti on of phonetic analysis skills, training in visual perception and providing the child with successful experiences in dealing with words. According t_o the article. it is a method that re qui res the chi 1 d to th ink. - It re.i s "!lotions about lingJ,J.istics, shibboleth, fun- and- games readiness periods, group reading bromides and emotional involvements. This method puts the child to work immediately to learn what he doesn't know, rather than spending time on what he does." At the Elkridge Elementary school, youngs-ters in through fifth grade analyze the sounds of vowels and consonants to produce words. They can sound out hundreds of words on their own, read elementary school versions of novels on their own, look up words in dictionaries designed for older students, know basic parts of speech, check facts in encyclop.edia, rattle off nine rules that help them to read qo percent of the words ther come across, and write script or cursive etters rather than the manuscript printing common in the first three years of school.
