New Peru College Song 1 Written by Steck 1~~ .
A desire to give Peru a song to stand beside the color song, led Professor G. Holt Steck to write the following song: PERU LOYALTY We sing a song for old Peru, We sing a song for Blue and White We sing a song with hearts so true. We sing a song that echoes thru the night. On the campus when the day is done We'll be singing for the victory won, For the college varsity, For the Boys in Blue. Rah! Rah! Rah! Fight, fight. fight, fight; go, go, go, go That's what we do. Sing, sing, sing, sing; yell, yell, yell yellFor old Peru. Rah! Rah! We sing a song for old Peru, We sing a song for White and Blue, We sing a song for friendships true, Among the hills of old Peru. -G. H. Steck.
HOME COMING PLAY CAST CHOSEN "Through the Keyhole," a comedy in three acts, will be presented as the Homecoming play this fall, under the general direction of Professor Moore. A sophisticated, subtle type of humor prevails in this comedY, with plenty of laughs for all. The play is well balanced giving each actoi· or actress an equr>,1. chsnce to prove his or her ability. Mary Kathryn Hanlon is the assistant director. The stage and lighting effects will be in charge of Charles Parnell. The cast, chosen through try-outs, is as follows: Genev1eve · Van Camp .
