Ward Reesman, president of the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges, gave the Commencement address.

"Don't have the idea that something cannot be done," he .told the graduates and others in attendence.

"You have a world out there right now that isn't as rosy as it may have been for some former graduates of Peru State. "When the times are tough, then there are also times for eat opportunites for those who dare. Those who are persons

who are-;willing to look beyond the frustrations of the moment and to critically assess their own strengths, interests and courage. They are those who are willing to make that extra commitment. ··

"There is opportunity for those who want to be above average. For those who d.are to be special.

"D(), you (!are to be speciaHn your application of what you have, gained in your college education?"

Dr. Clyde Barrett, vice-president for· academic affairs, presented the graduating class to the President.

If I could paint a picture, And paint it in colors true, I would spend my time in work sublime . Painting old Peru.

I would paint those hilts and valleys, Those fields with their golden sheaves, The little squirrel with his swish and swirl, Those beautiful autumn leaves.

Those kings of the stately forest, Monarchs of ages past, Those rugged hills, those rocks· and rills, Those friends that always last.

We mix our earthly colors And call our paintings good; But the God above with a heart of love Makes colors that no man could.

He has taken the rarest colors, gems of heavenly blue, And painted a picture in nature, God· bless it old Peru.

ThiS spring also brought new roofs to the Industrial Arts building and to Majol'J Hall. The outdoor track and the dak Bowl both took on a new: look for spring; several new trees werealsopJented on campus, a8 Peru accepted the honor and of becoming_a Arboritum.1.

In late April, PSC hosted an "Open House" for the first time in several years. Many prospective students and their parents spent a pleasant Sunday afternoon touring the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

As You Will rea!f eJsewhere in this we gave drawn up plans and guidelih$1 for the formation of ti more responsive and representative alumni association.>Ito is our hope that througii this organization Peru State COllege will bi better able to serve those who have served her. so well.

Music prof spending summer at Yale

Peru State College music professor Dr. Thomas L. Ediger will attend an eight week music seminar this summer at Yale University sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEB).

Ediger will be one of only twelve persons who were selected nationwide to study under Professor Allen Forte, a leading music theorist and author, from Jupe 16 to August 8. This is one of several "Sumnier Seminars" financed by the NEB in various fields rela:ting to the ·humanities. Each seminar is held on a major college campus noted for its resources in that specific area.

Forte's .seminar will be concerned with the analysis of atonal music from approximately 1900to1920. (Atonal music is music that is not key-centered, ezempUfied by the compositions of Arnold Schoenberg and the early works of Igor stravinsky,) I

In conjWlCtion with the seminar, all participants will be required to do an independent project.. Ediger Is presently planning to. do .an anal18is. and supporting ppr on the second piano sonata rl. Charles Ives. "Concord, Mais.: ··18l0ll80."

Ediger said his aelection to attend tbll seminar means three tbinga to ·him:

"First, it's an opportunity to study and learn with elev other teacher-theorists from acrqss the county.

"Second, it's an t>pportunity to increase my understandi of a specific analytical technique that not familiar wil

An third,I think it's a chance to increase my skills in mw theory· in general. My doctorate degree emphasized coi position riithedhan theory, and this seminar :wtll help 1 strengthen that area. ·

"OVerall, this opporunity will have very direct results improving my ability as .a teacher."

Ediger has not only been a student of music, but also creator of music.

Outdoor education proiect termed a 'success'

"An unqualified success" i8 h0w Dr. Tom Fitzgerald, Peru. State-College physical education professor, described last month's trial outdoor education project with area elementary school stu«lents.

Evaluation has been completed of the program which ran from May 13toMay1_6 and.involved the grade ,classes from Peru Elementary SchoOl and the fifth grade clssses from Calvert and Sheridan Elementary Schools in Auburn

According to a questionnaire filed out by all the participating students, ·92 percent said they liked the concept. after having been through it and 99 percent said they would like to be involved in a similar project in the future.

"I was very excited before and I'm totally excited afterward. I'd like to see this sort of thing really grow now," said Fitzgerald, who chaired the committee of PSC faculty and local elementary school teachers that studied and organized this interdisciplinary project. _

'The was designed to utilize all of the natural and. human resources on the Peru campus and in the nearby area.

· Each group, first the Peru students and then the Auburn fifth graders, participated in two consecutive two-day . programs .which studied. five subject areas: biology and botany;. outdoor art;. music and- physical education; soil-· conservation; and geology.

"Everything went smoothly. The weather was superb. The time-frame worked. There were no problems whatsoever,'' Fitzgerald said.

"The people directly involved in the field did an outstanding job and the kids evaluation showed that. think it was especially good for the students. They were involved in a 'hands-on' thing with the studying of· local rocks, minerals, water, soil, ariimals and vegetation."

Fitzgerald said the next stop would be one of two options. First, a grant might be sought to develop the program even further. Or second, put on a workshop so teacbers can put on a similar program tqdividually with the college faculty serving as resource people.

Miss Deakin got another surprise when she got to 1 school. She was to teach 40 children, all eight gr'itdes, ir one-room schoolhouse and, "I was scared to death. l did know what to do with them. But they were all so with me, they stayed after school to clean the blackboard, I the fuel in for the stove, and just were so helpful abl everything."

She grew to enjoy her new profession because She was her seventies when she finally retj.red from teaching.

"If I had it to do all over again I wouldn't ask for anYtbi better than teaching," Miss Deakin said. "I got letters ft1 all over from my former students for my birthday. And'tt said so many nice things, I wish I were worthy of all I things they said about me."

She attended Peru Normal,·was graduated from the St University of Nebraska and took graduate 'Work in Spanisl California., Her majors were mathematics and languag and she says she. can still read Spamsh and German.
