Dr. Boraas Named Liaison Officer i For Danforth Awards

I

President N. S. Gomon named Dr. Harold Boraas as liaison officer to nominate three candidates for the Danforth Foundation fellowship. The Danforth Foundation, an educational foundation located in St. Louis, Missouri, invites applications for the eighth class (1959) of Danforth Graduate Fellows from college senior men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and are planning to enter graduate school in September, 1959, for their first year of graduate study.

All applications, including the recommendations, must be completed by January 31, 1959. Any student wishing further i11formation should get in touch with Dr. Boraas.

Bobcats Beat Wayne Peruvians Have TV Classroom "TV Continental Classroom" was broadcast for the first time on Oct. 6. The subject for the program is "Physics for the Atomic Age." The classroom is broadcast every week, Monday through Friday, at 6:30 to 7:00 a.m. KMTV, Channel 3, carries the program in this area.

The first national program of its kind, the classroom is aimed primarily at high school science teachers and college students .

Although Peru offers no credits for the course this semester; everyone interested in science should find this program worth viewing.

A TV set has been set up in room S-104 f¢'"t~ use of those who wish to watc~the program.

Kangaroo .

Of Freshman 1~·

By Herbert Brown Freshman initiation came to its climax Sept. 24 with Kangaroo court.

At 8:00 p.m. all freshmen assembled in the auditorium. After roll call, Ray Parde introduced Judge Bob Mayo, Prosecutors Don Eickhoff and Leo Barry, and the Sheriff with his deputies.

While stragglers were still coming in, all freshmen placed their shoes in a heap in front of the stage. John B o o k w a l t e r stirred the shoes well.

To suppress giggles and grins among the freshmen, a remedy called "Juniper Juice" was produced. This was administered to all freshmen suffering from such symptons.

Judge Bob Mayo called the court to order and the first case was presented. It involved· six freshmen girls who were charged with wearing lipstick and imThe Home Economics C 1u b proper hairdos.

Several freshmen boys were then brought to order for showing disrespect for the judge.

They were all sentenced to be dunked. Some freshmen, in trying to be helpful, almost spilled the tub of water on the judge. A can of shaving cream appeared and some got on the judge , and other court members. A helpful freshman tried to help the judge wash it off with a bucket of water.

Order was .restored and court was then. dismissed because of wet grounds.

The evening closed with a bonfire and pep rally at 10:30, and the "Color Song" could be heard ringing through the thousand oaks of Peru.

Full coverage of Homecoming events will be given in the next issue of the Ped. The Ped deadine for this issue was October 8, three days before Homecoming, so coverage was impossible.

Because the Ped is published forty miles from the campus and because of mechanical reasons, there is always a five-day period between Ped deadlines and distributions.

We regret that it was impossible to bring you Homecoming news in this issue.

Masek Ni,~ Principal Of Cami1fS School Frank J. Masek, a member of the T. J. Majors Campus High School staff since Sept. 1954, has been named principal of the Campus High School according to an announcement made recently by Dr. Neal S. Gomon.

The appointment of Mr. Masek to the principalship will relieve Dr. Harold Hutcheson, director of the Campus School, of some of his administrative overload. Dr. Hutcheson, in addition. to. being director of the Campus School, is also head of the division of education.

A native of Odell, Mr. Masek came to the Peru Campus School from Tarkio, (Mo.) High School in the fall of 1954. For two years he was director of athletics and coach of all sports in the Campus School. In 1956 he was transferred to the mathematics and sciences department of the Campus School. Mr. Masek holds a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru and a Masters degree from Colorado State College of Education at Greeley.

Profs Play Volley Ball This fall begins the second season for a new activity on campus, and unlike most other college events, there are no students participating. If one should pass the gymnasium on a Tuesday evening he might catch a glimpse of many of the P.S.T.C. faculty members pursuing an interest removed from the usual classes, office work, and committee meetings. On this night volley ball is king!

This group was organized last year by Dr. Wininger and Mr. Langham as an athletic and social mixer for the instructors. Occasionally interested townspeople participate also.

Mr. Langham is hopeful .that more faculty members will become interested in this relaxing activity and that ;perhaps they can schedule a volley ball game with another c o 11 e g e organization.

Peruvian Staff Is Very Active

CHANGE OF NIGHT CLASS SCHEDULE

The Peruvian staff, headed bf co-editors Marilyn Benecke and Alice Phillips, has been very active this year.

At the last meeting, a cover de· sign was the work of Phil Fahrlander, artist, musician, and Pedagogian co-editor. Incidentally, those cartoons decorating the Bob Inn are the work of the same gentleman.

Individual pictures of all students were taken recently by Robt. Bell of Nebraska City under the supervision of photography editor Nancy Jo Kunkel and her assistants.

Plans are being made to send two Peruvian staff members to the national convention of the Associated Collegiate Press in Chicago, Nov. 13-15. These delegates will be accompanied by two members of the Pedagogian staff and the advisor of student publications.

Classes scheduled for Wednesday evening, Oct. 22, will be moved up to Tuesday, Oct. 21, so there will be no conflict with

NSEA convention plans for students or instructors. Day classes on Oct. 22 are to be held as usual.

He Wanted -

To Direct the Band

By Lois Rowe Mr. Gilbert E. Wilson is one of the more active faculty members on Peru's <:ampus. Watching him now, it is hard to believe that less than nine years ago he was given little hope of ever walking again.

In July 1950, Mr. Wilson was stricken with a combination of bulbar and paralytic polio. At that time he was teaching at Knox College at Galesburg, Ill. He was almost completely paralyzed. The parts of his body affected most were his right arm, with whkh he directs, and both legs. At that time the doctors gave him little hope of .. ever walking unaided again.

The road to recovery was long and hard. Six weeks after he became ill, he was able to sit up for. the first time and then only for a very short time. It was necessary for Mr. Wilson to learn to walk all over again using such aids as crutches and braces. The braces proved to be too heavy for him as he had no lifting strength in his legs. He had progressed to a point where he could leave the hospital by Thanksgiving of 1950.

During the football season that year, though he was unable to direct the band himself, Mr. Wilson planned halftime shows for the band. Mrs. Wilson and the drum major directed the band in

carrying out the shows that Mr. Wilson had planned.

In January 1951, Mr. Wilson returned to his job directing the concert band. He had a special podium made into which he could strap himself. He used this podium for about a year.

By the next fall, the only aid he used in walking was a cane, and two years later he ''Was walking unaided.

Since the time of his illness, Mr. Wilson has ·completed his M. A. and has done some work on his Ph.D. In 1955, he was one of 22 selected to go to Philadelphia and play in the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Eugene Ormandy.

He has judged many high school band contests in several states. Year before last he judged the state finals in I o w a and Illinois.

Mr. Wilson has been a member of the All-American Band Masters' Band, in Chicago, for two years and was selected to go again last year.

Mr. Wilson's most important accomplishment since his illness, from the Peruvian's standpoint, is the change in Peru's band. Improvement in attitude and cooperation and in musical ability is noticeable in both the college and high school bands. variety of interests and experience. He likes music, most sports, and has made trips through many parts of the United States. To top off his traveling experience, in 1955-1957 he went under the Fulbright program as a consultant of industrial arts education to Burma. On this journey he was in about 30 countries and got to see how the primitive society lives.

He took many colored slides of this trip and would like to share some of these experiences with the student body. Our fantastic trip could be entitled "Around the World in 80 Minutes."

Dr. Harlan is happy to be connected with a small c o 11 e g e where the students and faculty get a chance to know each other.

DR. OWEN HARLAN We have already been delighted by the singing of Dr. Owen Harlan, the new head of industrial arts, in the variety show.

Dr. Harlan received his B. A. from Eastern Illinois S t a t e Teachers College, his M. A. from the University of Minnesota, and his doctor's degree from the University of Missouri.

He has taught in the public schools of Illinois, Eastern Illinois State Teachers College, University of Missouri, and State Teachers College, Buffalo, New York.

Dr. Harlan is a man of a wide

Library Shorts Max Langham, librarian, reports that research reveals school life at Peru, as it existed before 1870, impressed one with its frugality, its cooperativeness, and its Puritanism. "The out-of-town students usually arrived in lumber wagons." "The teachers took care to supervise the students who boarded themselves, and laid down rules for the employment of time, housekeeping; hours of rest, study, and church were rigidly enforced." "No association of the sexes were allowed unless specific permission was granted in each instance."

They were to retire at or before 10 o'clock and. rise at or before five-thirty in the m or n in g.

"They were not permitted leave the building in study hours or be found out of their room:s without good excuse."

A recent highlight in dorm activities was Freshman s t u n t night. The freshman girls presented entertaining skits which were enjoyed by all. The chairman of first floor was Gladys Monahan. Her group presented the, "Brutal Miner." The characters in this skit had a number of very intellectual things to say ranging from "tee-he-he" to "dahhh."

The girls from Mount Vernon presented their impression of upperclass boys. The c h a r a c t e rs were so ably portrayed that the audience had little trouble identifying them. Susan Schneider was the chairman of Mount Vernon. Marilyn Wright's second floor group presented a novelty chorus line. It was a really cute arrangement.

Jeanine Ehlers and Rose Clancy were chairmen of the skit

version of "This Is 'four Lifo." Our dorm president Marlene Behrens was surprised to discover that she was the principal subject. As the story of Marlene's life unfolded, girls appeared portraying outstanding characters in her life.

Bookwalter ...

Star of the Week Junior Buddy Bookwalter received the World-Herald "Star of the Week" c i t a t i o n after his brilliant performance a g a i n s t Concordia.

In the opening quarter, Bookwalter made a 38-yard scoring run. In the second quarter, he broke loose from scrimmage for an 80-yard run; then he returned a punt for 65 yards.

In the final quarter, he scored on a 16-yard pass.

The Concordia performance was very similar to that Bookwalter made in the home game against Dana the week before.

RAY UNTERBRINK

GARY RANDLES

Unterbrink and Randles Promising Newcomers

By Ron Case Peru State's football team has found new strength in the addition of freshmen Ray Unterbrink and Gary Randles.

Ray Unterbrink, starting left tackle of the Bobcats, has shown outstanding progress and promise. Unterbrink is 6'11" and he weighs 190 pounds.

Football, basketball, and track were the major interests of Unterbrink at East Alton, Illinois.

He won all-conference recognition on the East Alton championship football team of 1956.

Coach Al Wheeler sums up Unterbrink's football talents by saying, ''Ray has shown keen desire, speed, and excellent progress."

Gary Randles has drawn attention to the right end post often.

Standing 6'2", and weighing 194 pounds, he has become a welcome target for Bobcat passes.

All-state honors were won by Randles as an end at Fullerton, Nebr. Oscar Dean Smith, a former Peruvian, coached Randles and guided him to Peru for further education and athletics.

Bobcats Slaughter The Danes 62-0

By Bob Henry Peru State's powerful juggernaut, moving with precision, rolled for two touchdowns in each of the ;first three quarters and three in the final quarter to completely crush a woefully undermanned but stout-h ear t e d Dana College eleven. 62 to 0 at Peru's Oak Bowl Thursday night.

The avalanche of Peru scoring was led by Gary Adams who rambled for two touchdowns and split the uprights with eight out of nine conversion attempts. . Adam's running-mate at the halfback slot, Buddy Bookwalter scored twice on passes and paced the Peruvians ground gaining attack with his versatile running.

received a 22-yard pass from Sid Brown and raced the final ten yards to score. Neale's score resulted from a 14-yard dash around his own left end. Adams nursed his only conversion of the night following Neale's scamper.

The halftime did not slow the Bobcats as freshman quarterback Jim Poage rifled a 5-yard pass to Bookwalter and the fleet halfback romped the remaining 24 yards to score. The second, third quarter touchdown came when Gary Adams ripped 23 yards, off tackle, to score. Again Adams conversions were perfect.

Mrs. Adams Author Of "Instructor" Article In the October issue of the In· structor, Mrs. Maryon Adams, kindergarten supervisor of the T. J. Majors Campus School at Nebraska State Teachers College, Peru, had had published an article entitled "Peter and Polly Pocket."

The article explains a method of motivating children to learn basic skills. Until a child has learned a particular skill, his pocket on the bulletin board has the flap closed or "asleep." When the child learns the skill, he may put his "skill" card in his pocket and thumbtack the flap open to indicate that his Peter and Polly Pocket is "awake."

When all the children have learned a particular task, all the Peter and Polly Pockets are closed again and the process starts all over again.

The ten special activities that are learned in this manner at the Campus School include: tie shoes, know telephone number, know' left and right hands, follow directions, know eight colors, rest quietly, tell a story, write numbers to 5, count to 20, fin i sh work begun. "I have found tha a little gentle persuasion such a: this has miraculously trans formed an unenthusiastic child,' Mrs. Adams concludes.

Peruvian Picture Day

Pep Organizations Hold Special Convo

The White Angels and the Blue Devils were in charge of the Homecoming Convocation held Friday, October 10.

The coaches, who were portrayed by three Blue Devils, sat in the spotlight on the stage and thought about their college days and about the H o m e c o mi n g game. White Angels and Blue Devils dressed as characters from the coaches' college days passed before them, bringing back old memories. The coaches were portrayed by Jim Rosenquist as Aristotle Wheeler; John Lincoln as Plato Mcintire; and Ernie Madison as Cicer:o Stemper.

At the beginning of the convocation, Mr. Robert Moore. gave a short talk on the meaning of Homecoming.

The convocation closed with a pep rally led by the cheerleaders.

A new song, which was composed by Bill Padgett, was introduced to the student body.

The 1958 Homecoming Queen is Miss Jean Ruyle from Peru.

She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Ruyle. Jean has received most of her formal education in Peru and is now a first semester senior. She is majoring in elementary education. She is vice president. and buying chairman of White Angels, secretary of Kappa Delta Pi, awards chairman of W.A.A., and a member of S.E.A.N. When asked how she felt about being queen, she said, "It was a real thrill and honor being chosen Homecoming queen. It was an experience I will long remember."

Miss Carole Heuer and Miss Carolyn Wing were the queen's attendants.

Miss Heuer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Heuer. The Heuers, originally from Auburn, now reside in Peru. Carole is a first semester sophomore majoring in elementary education. She is a member of Peruvian Singers, S.E.A.N., White Angels, a:nd the Lutheran Club. Carole plans to complete her four years of college at Peru.

Miss Carolyn Wing is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Wing of Shubert, Nebraska. Carolyn is a first semester sophomore majoring in elementary education for a two-year diploma.

She is a member of White Angels, secretary of chorus, treasurer of Dramatics Club, a member of S.E.A.N., and publicity chairman of W.A.A.

Student Teachers Are Not Excused For Field Trips Because of the disruption of schedules in the Campus School, it is not possible jo excuse student teachers.

Sponsors should not request excuses for student teachers, nor should student teachers request excuses. A realistic program of teacher training does not allow for absences of student teachers from the classroom.

"Fight Peru State Bobcats," a new fight song for the college, made its debut at the Oct. 10 pep rally.

Dr. Owen Harlan sang the audition for the song accompanied

by R. Benford on the organ. Alternate singing by coed and male factions gained more familiarity with the song and gave it more competitive power.

Bill Padgett, senior from Blue Rapids, Kansas, wrote the lyrics to the new fight song.

"Fight Peru State Bobcats, alma mater, fight, fight, fight, With glory in the combat of the . pale blue and the white, Faithful to her colors we will ever be, Fight forever fight, fight, fight, For a Bobcat victory."

Bookwalter Leads National Scoring Kansass City-B u d d y Book· walter of Peru State is tied for the scoring leadership among National Assn. of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) players, statistics released Tuesday, October 15, showed.

Bookwalter has s c ore d 66 points to tie Dale Giesler of Dubuque, Ia., for the national lead.

By Phil Fahrlander It was dark and cold in my shelter. I don't know how long it had been since I returned here to rest. I know it wasn't long ago, for I had rested only a short time. Then I heard them. I was very cold and I didn't want to be awakened. I didn't want the people to come for me so soon. I lay there a moment and hoped that they might not find me. I heard their footsteps as they groped in the darkness.

Why don't they leave me here? Each time they come for me I pray that they won't find me. I prayed the last time, but they found me. They found me and dragged me out of my shelter. They forced me into the outside world and compelled me to do those horrible things. Maybe they won't find me today.

They are coming. I can tell that they are approaching the corner where I lie. I think of the horrible thing I did last night. That poor girl. She was so unsuspecting. She didn't know that I was stalking her. When I struck, she cried to the others for help. She cried, but they only watched. They stood by and watched because they had made me strike. They had forced me to go with them and strike the girl. Now they are here again searching for me.

They are very near. They see me now. They are calling to me. They whisper softly. Softly they call to me.

"Come," they say. "Come with us. We have work for you."

So I must leave my dark corner and go into the outside world and hurt someone. How many times have I done this!

Still they call my name.

I am gossip.

On Homecoming day, the dorm held open house for relatives and friends from one to five. The dorm seems to be getting back to a somewhat normal state after all the rushing around to build displays and get ready for the Homecoming activities. Getting second place on our display made the efforts worthwhile.

Sunday night some of the girls gave a birthday party for Ruth Carmichael.

The first two bridge lessons were held October 14th and 21st in the recreation room.

A practice fire drill was held Tuesday night. It took about three minutes for the girls to assemble in the lobby. When the fire buzzer rang, an unfortunate accident occurred. Bev Leeper and Claudette Stumbo collided on a corner as they were hurrying to their rooms. Bev had to have several stitches taken along her eyebrow and Claudette had a colorful goose egg on her forehead. It was perfect timing on the corner. Bev said they had been practicing all evening.

By Bob Henry The Midland Warriors showed little respect for. Peru State's vaunted national defensive rankings as they scored three touchdowns against the previously unscored upon Bobcats before succumbing to a 20 to 27 defeat at the hands of the Peruvians Saturd.ay afternoon, Oct. 11, in Peru State's an nu a 1 Homecoming frolic.

In w i n n i n g their fourth straight, Al Wheeler's Bobcats saw a second quarter 13 point lead vanish and then had to fight off a determined rally by the Midlandites before garnering the hard fought victory.

On the first play from scrimmage following Peru State's kickoff, Peru's Jim Poage pirated a Warrior pass on the Midland 35-yard line and returned the interception to the 15-yard stripe before being downed. Gary Adams slanted off tackle for two yards, Sid Brown was held for no gain, and then Buddy Bookwalter scored his first of three .touchdowns as he ripped around right end for 13 yards and a touchdown. Gary Adams converted and the Bobcats led 7 to O with but 2:11 played.

Late in the first quarter with the Midland offense not yet functioning well, the Warriors were forced to punt and Peru took over at mid-field. Four plays later with slightly over four minutes remaining in the first stanza, Bookwalter took a pitchout from Sid Brown and squirmed his way through the entire Midland team for a 37-yard touchdown scamper. This time Adams missed the extra point and Peru led 13 to 0.

Evidently this 13 · point bulge lulled the Wheelermen into a false sense of security for from that point on until with just sconds remaining in the half, the Bbbcats were mere kittens. With about five minutes in the half remaining, Midland recovered a fu m b 1e on the Peru 30-yard marker, and in six plays they marched to the Peru two from where Warrior Bob Benne plunged for the tou<:hdown with 3:42 left in the half. Benne passed to end Lynn Johnson for the extra-point and the Peru lead was cut to 6.

Following Midland's kickoff, Peru managed two plays before history repeated and the Warriors recovered a Peru fumble on the Bobcat's 44-yard line. A pass from Jim Scherer to Jerry Keiser took the ball to the 1 from where Benne knifed through center for his second touchdown with 1:41 remaining. The extrapoint attempt was missed, and it

was a new ball game.

Evidently this awakened the sleeping Bobcats. Midland's short kick-off was returned to the Midland 47-yardline by tackle Ernie Madison. Gary Adams skirted end to the 35, and Bookwalter ripped to the 31. On the next play, Adams turned his own left end and danced 31 yards to break the tie with only 33 seconds remaining in the half. Adams' kick was good and Peru led 20 to 13 at halftime.

Late in the third quarter Peru launched a 54-yard sustained drive which was capped by Bookwalter's 11-yard jaunt for the touchdown. Adams split the uprights, and it looked like Peru was out of danger with a 27 to 13 lead.

With three minutes remaining in the ball game, Midland for the third time capitalized on a Peru fumble. A Bobcat pitchout went awry on the Midland 47-yard line; end Evert Stokes picked it up and raced to score Midland's third touchdown. Jerry Keiser drop-kicked the extra point and the Warriors trailed by only seven, Peru was unable to move the ball following the kickoff and was forced to punt, however a savage Peru defense rose to the occasion and stopped the Midland offense wld. The game ended with Peru running out time with a series of straight line plunges.

DORM RESIDENTS STUDY BRIDGE The first bridge lesson was given Tuesday, October 14, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the girls' dorm recreation room. Many students have shown interest in learning to play bridge. Fortytwo hopefuls were present at the first meeting.

As Mr. R. D. Moore p 6int e d out, knowing how to play bridge is a social asset, for bridge is a very popular game among adult circles. Mr. Moore explained the essentials of the game, and students practiced counting points in a dealt hand.

Next week dorm residents will learn how to answer bids.

The Peru State College Band, aided by Bob Bohlken, informed the Homecoming crowd of the events leading to the launching of a satellite.

After a precision exhibition, the band formed an "egg-head" as the world famous rocket scientist, portrayed by---Mr. Bohlken, came on the field. Then with a ba<:kground of "thinking music," the scientist thought up the amazing formula, which the band illustrated: X equals X. Finally the band went into the shape of a satellite and the s c i en t is t launched his invention.

The second stage rocket didn't go off, however, and the satellite fell back to earth, so plans are being made to try again to launch the satellite on Nov. 8 at Crete, Nebraska, during the halftime of the Peru-Doane football game.

The band is also practicing a Halloween show for the halftime of the October 31st game b'etween Peru and Chadron.

Delzell Doings By Phil Fahrlander Home<:oming and housecleaning were the by-words around Delzell these past two weeks.

Delzell's homecoming dis p 1 a y i was the result of many hours of .work on the part of Mrs. Paradise and dorm residents. Housecleaning was a pre-homecoming event which affected every dorm member. Mops flew as students struggled to regain the "uncluttered" look of the· first week.

The heat is on! And how! Residents have replaced winter blankets with those of a lighter variety. The combination of steam heat and Indian summer proved to be too much.

Any attempt to describe a typical evening in Delzell Hall would be' in vain, but a midnight stroll through the halls by Yours Truly did result in an interesting crosssection.

First floor was rather inactive.

The usual gab sessions had broken up, and all was quiet. A glance into Room 114 found Ray Parde working diligently on economics. John Greene roamed the halls, gathering last minute information for the Pedagogian.

In Room 211, Larry Vice and Jim O'Hara were engrossed' in an overhaul job on a ~adio. Roommate Galen Conn grumbled as he attempted to sleep during this process. Further down the hall, in Room 222, Pat Martin and Fred Braun discussed college life.

A quick check on thirdi floor found most of the occupants asleep. In Room 322, Ben Kerns sat at his desk pouring over a history assignment. No musical sounds emerged from Room 323 this night. Guitarist Jerry Gorton had called it a day.

After midnight, the pulse of Delzell slows. Chatter is replaced by snoring. So it will remain; until morning brings forth new life as the members of the 7:50 Club begin drifting to class.

Adams Leads Bobcats In 6-2 Win From Wayne . By Bob Henry The flying feet and the accurate toe of halfback Gary Adams paced the undefeated Peru State Bobcats to a hard fought 16 to 2 decision over the Wayne State Wildcats at Wayne Saturday night. It was a frustrating night for the Wheelermen as they evidently were pointing to this week-end's all important en· counter with Hastings College, and they almost forgot about the resurgent Wildcats from Wayne before awakening in the second half to finally punch out the victory.

The first half saw a punting duel between the two foes. The most serious threat to a goal line in the first half was made by Wayne as they pushed to the Peru 16-yard line shortly after the second quarter got underway.

The deepest penetration the Bobcats could muster in the initial half was to the Wayne 30. Thus the half ended 'with a Oto 0 deadlock.

As the second half opened, Wayne kicked to Peru. Gary Adams gathered the kick in on his own 10 and rocketed to the Wayne "15-yard line before being knocked out of bounds. Bookwalter plunged to the 14 and then a fumble set Peru back to the 18, where an incomplete pass made it fourth down. On the next play, with Sid Brown holding, Adams booted a field goal which split the uprights to give Peru a 3 to 0 lead with 13:20 remaining in the third quarter.

The Peru State kickoff was returned from the Wayne 5 to the 30 by Wayne f u 11 back Bob Schnitzler. On the next play Schnitzler crashed off tackle on a cross buck and bolted to the Peru 5-yard line before being caught from behind by Bookwalter. Four plays later, the Peru goal line defensive unit had held the Wildcats on the 6-inch line.

Peru's Bookwalter went back to

quick-kick but the pass from center was fumbled and the Lawrence, Kan5.1,. junior was tackled short of th{ goa~line for a safety as he tried to ruh the ball out.

Thus with 9:37 left in the third quarter Peru led by the baseball score of 3 ti;i..,2.

Follow~e safe t y Peru kicked off~ut forced the Wildcats to punt on fourth down from their own 44-yard line. Peru end Dick Gerber broke through and blocked the punt, guard Jim Rosenquist picked up the loose pig·· skin on the 35-yard line and rumbled to the Wayne 20 before being downed. Quarterback Jim Poage smashed to the 16 on the option. Bookwalter ripped to the 5. On two keeper plays, Poage moved the ball to the one-yard line from where Adams skirted end for the touchdown with 4:31 left in the 3rd quarter. Adams' attempt for the extra point failed and Peru was now on top 9 to 2.

In th~ fourth quarter, Wayne was never able to mount a serious scoring threat. Their most formidable one was nipped when Peru recovered a Wildcat fumble on the Peruvian's 30-yarCL line.

With Poage, Bookwalter, Adams, and Gary Anderson ripping off steady yardage, the Peruvians marched 70 yards to score. An 8yard scoring pass from Poage to Bookwalter capped the drive.

Adams' placement was good to give Peru a 16 to 2 lead with only 38 seconds remaining.

through the swinging doors, onlookers saw "Bobcat Dooley" engaged in a game of "Showdown" with a Midland Warrior. Appropriate wall hangings, a western saddle, and beaded drapes added to the scene. Two giant gun-toting Bobcats guarded the entrance.

The Newman Club and M.E.N.C. shared a common "corral" theme. Newman Club's wooden corral encased miniature Indians roasting over a fire. A sign warned, "Look out, Midland, 'cause Holy Smoke-we've got your Warriors corr a 1e d!"

M.E.N.C. members constructed a large four-sided musical staff.

The front side of the enclosure carried the words, "Chorale the Warriors." Inside the fence was a Midland Warrior bound to a tied note. He carried a sign which read, "Ugh! Warriors take note!"

The Peru Dramatics Club presented "The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners" at 7:00 p.m. in the college auditorium.

This production was an adaptation of a television drama by Reginald Rose. The 26-member cast was under the direction of R. D. Moore.

Homecoming day ended with a dance in the gymnasium. Music was furnished by Jay Bellaire's orchestra.

Campus School Commentary

Just as the college dismissed early, so did the Campus School for further work on projects, decorating for dance, etcetera.

While the Panthers triumphed scorewise, the Bobkittens didn't look too terrible on the field, but since then-crutches, tape, black eyes, and other injuries. You can't have missed seeing Junior John Holdorf's horribly purple eye and smashed cheek bone, but he grins about it. While sorting the mail, he said the other guy didn't kick him, he fell into the toe-the other boy missed one play his toe hurt so badly!

The half-time marching routine by Pep Club and band was smart and precise. And the crowning ceremonies were just rig h t-quet'n Marcia Allgood, senior attendant Sandy Stephens, junior attenda.nt Janice Nincehelser, we.re pretty as pictures: flower Patty Stephens, bouquet girl Beth Applegate, crown bea.rers.

A great success!

Then the homecoming dance.

Said 7th grader Jeannie, "I danced every dance' It was such fun!" (First time out, too.) But even the sponsors agreed it couldn't have been better.

You - - -Thank All of You knows that Peru is a wonderful place, and ooee in a while something happens to revitalize that Peruvian pictures were made of campus organizations oo. the afternoon of November 4. The administration dismissed classes so that the pictures might be taken. All organizations and sponsors were on the ball to make the shooting run smoothly and without a hitch. . Three pictures were taken every ten minutes, and the pictures were shot exactly on time. We never saw an event involving so many people and so many organizations go so well. And we want to thank all of you for your splendid cooperation.

Especially we want to thank Jim Levitt and Don Carlile.

These men are photographers of professional caliber and their highly skilled photography will give this year's Pei'.uvian far better pictures than it would have otherwise. Thank you, Jim and Don.

Delzell Doings By Phil Fahrlander A nickel doesn't go far these days. Neither does a "quarter"especially the nine-we~k variety.

At any rate, the first q'i.iarter of school is past, and all of Delzell's denizens hope that they have"passed," that is.

Test week somewhat altered the normal proceedings within these walls. The chief source of eye-strain shifted from the TV set to the textbooks. Many a student renewed acquaintanceship with a dusty manual. ·

Finally, the Peruvian staff deserves commendation.

Hundred Alumni Meet Again At Lincoln Coffee More than 100 alumni and friends of Peru State College attended a Peru State reception during the District 1 convention of the Nebraska State Education Association in Lincoln Thursday, October 23.

Teachers and administrators from 44 Nebraska communities were registered during the twohour gathering on the Mezzanine of the Hotel Cornhusker, according to Don Carlile, executive secretary of the Peru Alumni Association. A number of Peruvians who registered were Lincoln residents who are in fields other than teaching.

The cities. represented were: Tecumseh, Lincoln, N e b r a s k a City, Auburn, Grand I s1 and, Crete, Johnson, Cook, Hastings, Dawson, Wallace, Cairo, Glenvil, David City, Plattsmouth, Beatrice, Liberty, Nelson, Kearney, Wymore, Gresham, Julian, Ord, York, Falls City.

Other officers include: Jim Rosenquist, Essex, Iowa, vice president; Jo Ellen McNergney, Tecumseh, secretary; Marilyn Benecke, Dunbar, treasurer, and Marlene Behrens, Talmage, historian. Members of the executive council are Gilbert Swanson, Ceresco; Mary Riley Bohlken, Dawson; Alice Phillips, Carson, Iowa; Alan Kreglo, Auburn, and Sidney B. Brown, Peru.

Saturday and Sunday.

Delzell played host to a sock hop after the Peru-Chadron game. This event was sponsored by the White Angels. Ray Parde handled the hi-fi and Mrs. Paradise prepared cookies and coffee.

Dorm residents interested in the art of restrained fisticuffs are now taking boxing lessons from Harvey Rasmueller. Harv's pupils report no shiners yet.

The halls of Delzell are quiet this week, and lights are going out earlier. Most of the students are catching up on sleep lost during test week. After grades come out,,:many may find that more sleep,Iess nights are ahead.

Necessity is supposedly the mother of invention. If this be so, I would wager that a college student invented the alarm clock.

I have no concept of the fiend that invented the 7:50 class.

Larry Tourville Bob Gibson and Larry Tourville have added power and speed to the depth of the Peru State football team.

Larry Tourville, a freshman from Nebraska City, has been ap-' praised by Coach Al Wheeler as "a good worker with great potential."

At 5'11" and 180 lbs., Tourville uses both speed and weight in maneuvering from the guard post.

Bob Gibson, freshman halfback from Falls City, has given added support to the Bobcat kicking team and defense. Coach Al Wheeler finds Gibson "a fast, hard runner and good tackler with promise."

At Falls City High Gibson found time to excel in football, basketball and track.

Cats Scratch Broncs 17-13

By Bob Henry The Peru State Teachers College Bobcats cleared a big hurdle in their drive toward the Nebraska College Conference crown when they dropped the highly touted Hastings Broncos 17 to 13 at Hastings Saturday night, October 25.

Peru's victory knocked the Broncos virtually out of the conference title picture and kept the Bobcats in a first place tie with the Kearney Antelopes who defeated the Nebraska Wesleyan 14 to O Saturday.

Adams Ho:t Most of the first quarter was a dog-eat-dog mid-field battle between the Peruvians and the Hastingites, until Peru's Jim Rosenquist pounced on a Bronco fumble at the Hastings' 35-yard line. Five plays later, Gary Adams swept eleven yards for a touchdown, but it was nullified by a 15-yard holding penalty.

Peru was unable to garner a first down on the next three plays, and Gary Adams booted a perfect field goal from the 16-yard line to give Peru a 3 to 0 lead with 1:53 remaining in the first quarter.

Early in the second stanza, Hastings smashed on a long sustained drive to the Bobcat 5-yard line only to meet a stonewall defense which forced the Broncos to give up possession on a fumble. Peru kicked out of the hole, but Hastings was forced to punt

after three downs had failed to net a first down. With ab out eight minutes remaining in the half, Peru launched a 75-yard scoring march.

Anderson TD's With Adams carrying the lion's share of the load, Peru rumbled to the Hastings 10-yard marker where a fourth down stared the Peruvians in the face. Spurning another field-goal attempt, quarterback Jim Poage whipped a flat pass to Gary Anderson and the big fullback crunched o v e r one would-be tackler to score the Bobcat's first touchdown with 1 :32 r e m a in i n g in the half.

Adams' conversion was perfect and the score stood 10 to 0 at the half as }jastings was unable to move before the intermission.

Brown Tallies Early in the second half, Peru forced Hastings' Tom Osborne to punt from his own eight and the Bobcats took over on the Bronco 30-yard line. Poage and Bookwalter moved the ball to the 27 from where Adams skirted end to the 5-yard line. In two plunges, quarterback Sid Brown plunged in for the touchdown and Adams again converted to make the score 17 to O with 7:23 left in the third quarter.

Trailing by 17 points the Broncos refused to play dead. Taking possession of the kick-off on their own 13-yard line the- Broncos, with Jim Paige and Jake Moser biting off large chunks of yard-

age, moved 87 yards to $COre. A 10-yard pass from quarterback Osborne· to Moser provided Hastings' first score. Paige converted to bring the Broncos to within 10 points with 2:22 remaining in the third quarter.

Con:l:esi Tightens Following Hastings' kick-off, Peru was unable to mount any kind of an offensive and was forced to punt and the Broncos took over on the Peru 41-yard marker. Hastings moved to the Peru five but two successive defensive gems by Peru's Madison and Lincoln drove the Broncos back to the 25-yard line where Peru took over on downs. Following three downs in which the Hastings defense held Peru to no yardage, Peru again kicked. Taking over on the Hastings 40-yard line, the Broncos moved 60 yards in eight plays to score as Tom Osborne sneaked the last two yards. The conversion was wide and the score stood Peru 17 Hastings 13 with 5:50 left in the fourth quarter.

Gibson Intercepts The remainder of the game saw Peru unable to move with the kick-off and forced to punt.

Hastings took over on their 20, but lost the ball on downs. Peru's offense, almost ineffectual after their last touchdown, failed to muster the needed yardage and and Hastings. was given one last desperation series of downs. With Tom Osborne vainly passing, Peru's Bob Gibson intercepted to end the Hastings threat. Peru closed out the game with time consuming quarterback sneaks to insure the 17 to 13 victory.

Eagles Soar Over Hapless Cat$

By Bob Henry A magnificent Chadron Eagle football machine continued their amazing 1958 football comeback as they crushed_the Peru State Bobcats at Peru's Oak Bowl Friday night 26 to 0. Both teams entered the fray with identical 5 and 0 league records, and both were tied with the Kearney Antelopes for the conference lead.

The victory gave Chadron a shot at a share of .the conference title if they can master Nebraska Wesleyan next Saturday. Kearney is virtually , assured of part of the championship as they face Concordia College in their final game of the season.

Single Wing Works Chadron's powerful s i n g 1 ewing offense and impregnable defense completely dominated play as they nipped Peru's title aspirations. Only twice did the Eagle defenders allow the Peruvians to penetrate Chadron territory. Just before the first half ended, Peru's Buddy Bookwalter returned a Chadron punt back to the Eagle 48-yard line, but the Bobcats could not move any deeper before being forced to punt. The second and last time Peru violated enemy territory was late in the fourth quarter when a Chadron fumble was recovered by the Bobcats on the Chadron 29. Three plays later Chadron intercepted a Peru pass to end this late and feeble threat.

Aerial TD With the running of halfback Dick Colerick and fullback Guido Santero chewing up huge chunks of yardage and forcing the Peru secondary to defense against a ground game, Chadron took to the air for their first touchdown.

On a spread formation, Santero fired a behind the line pass to Chadron quarterback L i o n e 1 Wickard who then fired a perfect 33 yard strike to end Pete Beckman in the end zone for the score with 13:29 remaining in the second quarter. Jerry Rowe's conversion was good and Chadron led 7 to 0.

Long Aerial TD Late in the second quarter, Chadron used the same offensive formation to score on a beautiful 49-yard pass from Wickard to halfback Henry Johnson who scored from the 5-yard line with two Peruvians hanging on him.

Rowe's extra-point kick made the score 14 to 0 with slightly less than two minutes remaining in the half.

Chadron virtually discontinued their air attack in the second half as their stable of fine backs continually smashed the Peru defense.

Long March to TD Midway in the third stanza, a

completed Peru pass was fumbled on the Chadron 41-yard line and from there, the Eagles marched 59 yards to score with Santero skirting end for the last five yards. The conversion was· misse~ and the score stood Chadron 2\}, Peru 0.

Last Counter Chadron's fourth and final touchdown came after Lionel Wickard pirated a Peru pass on the Chadron 46 and raced to the Peru 20 before being brought down. Colerick smashed offtackle to the 9-yard line, ·and on the next play Santero exploded through center for those remaininig 9 yards and a touchdown.

The missed extra-point made the score stand 26 to 0 with 10:57 remaining in the game.

Thus Chadron stands an excellent chance of tieing the Kearney Antelopes for the top spot in the Nebraska C o 11 e g e Conference.

Undoubtedly, this Chadron team deserved the comeback of the year award when compared with their lackluster seventh place performance of last season.

Blue Devils Active In Twelfth Year

By Bruce Smith The Blue Devils of Peru State were organized in 1946 with the main purpose of the organization to act as a pep club stimulating school spirit and interest in athletic contests. However, this is not the sole purpose of the organization. Besides sponsoring several dances during the scho.ol year and numerous other parties, the Blue Devils help sponsor an athletic banquet, purchase varsity awards and provide scholarships to promising looking freshman athletes.

The officers for the school year 1958-59 are as follows: president, Al Smart; vice president, Ralph Aranza; secretary, Fred Baum; treasurer, Sid Brown.

The Blue Devils have done much to form a more enthusiastic student body and to promote the general spirit at all Peru activities.

Junior High Kittens Play Football

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade One would think from the calendar of events that extra-curricular activities wouldn't leave the Campus School kids much time for regular school work. From the amount of homework being toted home, not so. But you know the well-worn cliches "all work and no play ..." "the wellrounded person ..." Comes Friday and the teachers confer with the parents to see just how wellrounded our kids are. Report cards (both written and verbal) mean no school that day AND a bonus this time of a football game in the afternoon.

Annual picture-taking took place Thursday, October 30, with J. D. Levitt presiding behind the camera for class group pictures.

He reports a very smooth operation. Now to see the results. Having one picture of the whole class goes over very largely with parents, but you hear wails here and there from the kids "I won't have a picture of her/him in my billfold!" (Trading pictures is all very well, but hard on the finances, and such poor reproductions of our good-looking kids.)

Try-outs all over the place: Jr. Hi boys tried out for footballown equipment, own schedule, own cheerleaders. First on the schedule was Auburn Monday afternoon, November 3. Good pre-game m o r a le-"You don't know, we just might beat them.

They're not so hot." Good postgame morale-"We had t~em going, they even had to put m some 9th graders. Sure they beat us, but they expected to beat us a lot worse."

Jr. Hi cheerleader tryouts had all the girls chanting and whirling even down through the grades. By the time the 2nd graders are old enough to lead they probably will have lost enthusiasm (or will be worn out!)

Senior class play tryouts, nightly rehearsals. After two weeks, Mr. Moore thinks the combination of seniors and s t u d e n t teacher-director Frank Pedersen will produce good entertainment December 6.

And how could a person be well-rounded without Halloween? College and high school football games, class parties, other assorted groups kept everyone busy (as well as the stay-athomes answering the door for trick'n'treaters).

Finally, doe$ the presence of physical fraility make for wellroundedness? The Campus School always has the GERM (flu, common cold, tummy ache, or plain do n't-wanta-go-to-s ch o o 1). A slight rash of appendectomies has given classmates experience in visiting hospital rooms. But the award for fortitude should go to Tom Boatman in his body cast so skin tight he can't breathe deeply enough to toot his band horn.

Physical discomfort isn't as great as disappointment at no more football or basketball at least for this year. With his efforts diverted from athletics, classmates will have to be on their toes or he'll

An enthusiastic group of thirteen 7th and 8th grade boys reported for the first Junior High fooball team in Peru history.

Regular practice sessions began after their new equipment arrived the week of October 1st.

These future Bobkittens and possibly Bobcats proved to be a sincere and hard working group, eager to learn the fundamentals of football.

Although they got a late start this season, the junior Kittens scheduled a game with Auburn Junior High. The boys played hard and showed exceptional defensive ability, but lost 20-0 to a more experienced and long established Auburn team.

The team was coached by student teacher Bruce Smith, who commended his team for their enthusiastic attitude and a very good job.

Beta Beta Beta At the last meeting of Beta Beta Beta Oct. 27 at 8:00 p.m., Pr~sident 'Fred Koerwitz showed films of Alaska and the I?acific which he had taken during his hitch in the navy.

The club plans to have a speaker and refreshments for the next meeting.

Research Assistantships At University of Arkansas Research assistantships will be available for a study in the College of Education of the University of Arkansas beginning January 20, 1959. Each assistantship will carry a stipend of $3,000 for 12 months. Research assistants may earn credit in advanced courses leading to a doctorate.

The study to be undertaken is a three year program in which an investigation will be made of the psychological characteristics of teachers.

An applicant for an assistantship should have a master's degree in education or psychology and should be qualified to teach courses in testing and measurement or elementary statistics. At least two years residency will be required. Applicants should send copies of their transcripts and summaries of their qualifications to: Dr. John Schmid College of Education University of Arkansas Fayetteville, Arkansas

English Projects The campus school E n g 1i s h classes, grades 9-12, took field trips to the park. The purpose of this project was to acquaint the students with imagery and sensory writings.

Forty of these students are also participating in foreign correspondence. The ideas and varying customs in the assigned foreign countries will prove to be of utmost interest to both participants and non-participants.

Aptitude Tests The National Merit Scholarship was given October 21 to the nineteen campus school junior and senior students. This scholastic aptitude test is a good prediction of college success for those students taking it. carry off the honors scholastically.

This Is Living?

By Jody Parriott We have had a run on birthday parties lately. During the past two weeks birthday parties have been given for Janette Romans, Joan Schneider, Pauline Kish, Marilyn Benecke, Jo Ann Haupt_man, and Jeanne Shuttelsworth.

On October 30th at precisely 12:00 P.M., second floor was jolted by a riotious siege of screams, bangs, and clangs. It lasted only a minute. Astonished girls looking out to see what was the matter found nothing more than an e ~ p t y hall. The Halloween spooks had vanished as suddenly as they had appeared.

It was nice to see life in the dorm during the all-c o 11 e g e week-end, October 31st-November 3rd. Many attended the T.V. session in the rec. room Saturday afternoon. Pop and popcorn were served. There was a good attendance at the Saturday evening wiener roast given by the boys' and girls' dorms. Sunday morning coffee and doughnuts were served by the Home Ee. C 1u b girls.

Carole Heuer, Connie Bausch, Deanna Wach, Rosie Edelman, Judy Miller and Mardelle Miller were overnight guests during the all-college week-end.

Sue Moore got stuck between floors in the elevator one afternoon while visiting the dorm.

M~intenance men were called but' Sue managed to get the elevator working b.efore rescue work began.

Have trouble writing love letters? Try Elda Halm's method.

Her boy friend in Tecumseh is soon to receive a letter cooperatively composed by 15 girls.

Who's George? Ha 11 owe en night, he was a jack-o-lant~rn that sat in the window on third floor. George set the mood for a Halloween party given by the west wing girls on third floor.

Nancy Carr and Carol Wilton have a pet in their room; a little brown mouse that runs across the floor every night and scares them to death.

Judv Carlisle has resolved to wear .shoes from now on. She walked into Lynda Ehler's and Nancy Madsen's room barefoot and stepped on a mouse. It's open season on mice in that room.

They have bagged their limit of five this week.

Wilma Johnson and Janice Clark have added an artistic touch to their room. They have painted pictures on their mirrors.

Kay Stahlhut has a private study room. She placed her desk in the closet and shuts the closet door when she wants to study.

It's a quiet place but r at h e r small.

On November 4th, many rooms were strewn with clothes, evidencing quick changes between organization pictures.

Allgood and Eddy "Teens of the Week" The Student Council of the Campus School selected Marcia Allgood and Bruce Eddy as "Teens of the Week."

Marcia is active in F.H.A., pep club, band, and chorus. She has been a cheerleader and drum majorette for the last two years.

She was this year's Homecoming Queen.

Bruce is a member of the band, chorus and Student Council. He has lettered in football, basketball, and track. His hobbies are hunting and cars.

Cejkas Operate The Oldest Firm In Our Town Mr. and Mrs. John Cejka have been in the tailoring and cleaning business in Peru for 41 years.

They have the distinction of being in business in Peru longer than any other firm now in operation.

Mr. Cejka was born in Czechoslovakia. He received his tailoring training in Vienna, Austria.

He came to the United States in 1910 worked in Chicago for one yea;, then moved to Duluth, Minnesota, where he stayed for four and a half years. In 1916, he moved to Omaha, where he met and married Miss Anna Pelesky.

Arrived In 1917 The Cejkas came to Peru in June of 1917. When the Cejkas first began their business, they set up their shop one b 1o ck south and one block west of the present business district on what was then main street. In 1930, they moved to the present Beatty Garage location. Five years later they located behind the Bank of Peru, and in 1937 they moved to their present location on the east side of Main Street.

Changes Made Things have changed a lot since the Cejkas first came to Peru. There were about the same number of people at that time, but there wasn't a vacant house or store in town. The main street ran one block west of its present route. A three story hotel and several boarding houses provided housing for students and visitors.

The business district consisted of three restaurants, a furniture store, a clothing store, a hardware store, a print shop, a bakery, two jewelry stores, two drug stores, a photo shop, two banks, a lumber yard, an ice plant, a saddle shop, two grain elevators, a filling station, three b a r b e r shops, and seven grocery stores.

Mrs. Genevieve Gergen, assistant professor of education and supervisor of high school English, claims Peru as her alma mater.

She received her B. A. and M. A. here at Peru. Her previous experience consists of four years at Dawson, Nebraska.

Mrs. Gergen chose English as her major field because it is very challenging. She feels that English can be appealing if it is presented in an interesting way. She wants to make English interesting to everyone.

Mrs. Gergen feels the library facilities in connection with the college make teaching, English, a rich experience. , She is happy with the respolse o\her students in high school. ,.

Her hobbies consist of photography, writing, and gardening.

Mrs. Gergen lives between Humboldt a~wson, where her husband'iacob N. Gergen farms. They have two boys, John and Robert.

Buggies and Wagons The horse and buggy or wagon were still the common means of transportation. To accommodate this traffic, there was a big stable barn at one end of the business district. Most of the college students came to Peru by train.

There were five trains daily. The dray wagons were kept busy hauiing freight and students' trunks from the depot.

Womanless Wedding One cxf the highlights of the past that ltr. Cejka related was t he "Woman.~s Wedding," a program given the town and faculty men. &me of our present citizens wh<il were in the program besides M.r. Cejka were Mr. V. H. Jind.ra, )fr. A. V. Larson, Mr. L. B. Mathews, Mr. Carol

Board Authorizes President To Make Plans For $650,000 Building Program New Housing Units and Student Union Building to Be Constructed The Board of Education of State Normal Schools has authorized Peru State Teachers College to proceed with preliminary plans for construction of a Student Union building, a new men's dormitory and additions to Morgan Hall for women. All construction will be financed by revenue bonds and will not involve any tax money.

Action by the Board clears the way for employment of an architect to draw up preliminary plans and specifications for the new buildings and negotiation with bonding houses for financing. All present activity will be exploratory and actual construction will hinge on satisfactory financing agreements.

President Neal S. Gomon told the Board that a 100-man dormitory is an emergency need inasmuch as the present men's dormitory is overcrowded with 178 men housed in facilities built to accommodate 126. Morgan Hall for women is filled to capacity with 24 women housed in substandard Mt. Vernon Hall. Student Union facilities are completely inadequate for the present student body and do not meet the needs of a growing college.

In addition to the new men's dormitory it is proposed to add a wing to Morgan Hall to house 60 women. Mt. Vernon Hall will be razed to make room for the addition and the new Student Union building. It is probable that the college dining room will be renovated for the present although the Student Union building will be constructed in such a way that

a new dining room area can be added in the future.

Preliminary estimates on construction costs total $650,000. The new men's dormitory is estimated at $300,000, the addition to Morgan Hall at $175,000 and the Student Union at $175,000. Revenue bonds will be retired from room rentals, Student Unionfees and space rentals to the various enterprises housed in the Student Union ~uilding.

In other Board ~tion, the four state teachers colleges were auth orized to participate in the federally-financed student loan plan.

Peru State piers College has filed prelimtary application for federal funds to loan to needy and worthy students qualifying under provisions of the Federal Student Loans Act. A new water-purification system for the college swimming pool was authorized. Bids for the new system have been called for and installation will probably be completed by December 1. President Gamon reported that the flood control dam south of the Oak Bowl will be completed by November 15.

Official first semester enrollment figures for Peru State College reveal an on-campus fulltime college enrollment of 521.

There are 147 enrolled in campus evening classes and 83 in correspondence courses. Seventy-nine students are e n r o 11 e d in the Campus High School and 183 in the elementary school. The total number of students in all categories is 961.

LET'S COME BACK FROM THE HOLIDAYS-ALIVE The holidays are coming up again. Most of us will be going home, either in our own cars or in friends' cars. Some of us may not return.

Statistics say that many of us will die on the highways during each holiday. They do not say we must die, but only that we will die. There is a world of difference between "must" and "will."

The best technology in the nation went into the construction of our autos. Our roads rank with the finest in the world. What then causes so many to die on our highways?

All accidents happen when a car either hits something on the road or leaves the road and crashes into something. Our autos are designed with good brakes and steering gear and they seldom fail if maintained properly. Accidents are then the fault of the driver or drivers.

Much is said about drinking, speeding, recklessness, and driving fatigue, so all of us should be properly informed about such things. It is our fault if we fail to do anything about them. Do we care so little about our lives and the lives of others that we toss them away on our highways? Let's be careful and live.

All along the highways are road signs to tell us how the road is and where the road leads. There are no signs along any road to tell us whether we are in condition to get there or not. That is left up to us, for we are intelligent enough to drive and drivers must think. If we are in no condition to work or to study, then we are in no condition to drive.

Will we return from the holidays? If that question is to be answered, then we must supply the answer. We must pay heed to the road signs and stay alert. Then these holidays will indeed be happy days for us and those who care about us.

mE MEANING OF THANKSGIVING What is the true meaning of Thanksgiving? For many people, it means home for the holidays, seeing old friends and relations, feasting on turkey and all the trimmings, and to many college students, a chance to catch up on all the studying they neglected the first eleven weeks of school.

But Thanksgiving should mean more; it should be a time for counting our many blessings, a time for thanking God for all the little things that are taken for granted-for eyes to see a snowy morning or a setting sun, for ears to hear the sizzling of roasting turkey and the laughter of loved ones, and for lips to whisper a prayer of thankfulness for one of the most important possessions all Americans h a v e, FREEDOM. But whatever Thanksgiving means to you, let this year's holiday be a day of worship and praise, and in the days to follow, make each day a day of Thanksgiving!

By Jody Parriott We have been having a few parties. November 23rd a birthday party was given for Sherrill Torring. The following night the same girls from second floor east wing gave a party for Marlene Behrens to celebrate her birthday. ,Jo Scharp, Peggy McGee, Donna Lair, Pauline Kish, Sherrill Torring, and Marlene Behrens have been getting a lot of exercise moving furniture. They decided· to pool their floor space to make things a little more homey.

They moved all of t}1eir beds into one room, all their dressers in another, and desks in the third room for a study. After one day of running into each other while getting ready for class and one night of sleeping like so many sardines, they decided to move everything back to their own rooms.

Congratulations are in order!

Miss Betty Bebb has become engaged to Don Wilson from Claremore, Oklahoma.' Betty is the first girl in the dorm to become engaged during this school term.

Some of the girls gave Karen Fisher a birthday party. She received a bracelet.

A surprise birthday party was given for Mary Ann Steinbrink by her roommate Joyce Kosobud and other friends on Nov. 16. The room decorations and cake were ready for the surprise and the girls waited in the dark from 7:30 to 9:00 for Mary Ann to appear on the scene.

The scene appeared no different from that of any other morning.

Then Tom saw it.

Paul's head lay on the ground in front of the barn. Tom stood transfixed for a moment and then walked out into the yard.

It was safe now. The Randalls were having chicken for Thanksgiving.

Dawn27

By Phil Fahrlander Paul stepped from the doorway and surveyed the crisp autumn evening. The tree near the small white farm house had turned a . vibrant gold in the sunset. The earth below lay sleeping ~eneath the leafy blanket. The .wmdmill stood silent and stately.

"A beautiful evening," thought Paul. "Beautiful but ugly. Ugly because in the morning, Tom must die!"

Tom appeared in the doorway of the barn and glanced at Paul.

Then, as if somehow sensing Paul's thoughts, he turned and disappeared once more into the dark interior of the barn.

"Count your ho u r s, Tom," mused Paul. "Count your hours, for tomorrow you must die."

Paul pondered this situation for a moment. It was dreadful that Tom must die; still, Tom had known that it was coming.

Paul's thoughts shifted to himself. Why should he concern himself with the problems of others?

What was going to happen was inevitable, and he could do nothing to prevent it.

The sun fell from sight and the earth was blanketed in darkness. Tom watched the last rays of light fade, and he trembled.

The sun rose slowly and began to warm the morning air. Tom walked slowly toward the doorway of the barn and peered oµt.

The tall windmill waited patiently for some small breeze to free it from its paralyzed state. The lonely tree lazily sunned itself.

A short stop in Lincoln resulted in the temporary loss of one sax player. Between Lincoln and Crete, Susie Schneider was the center of attraction.

At the game, Chuck, the bus driver, received a rousing cheer when he tossed the ball in after it had gone out of bounds.

Johnny Norlander Exhibition To Open Basketball Season Varsity vs. Alumni Game An Affracfion

e d .e

The 1958-59 basketball season will get underway at Peru State Teachers College on Nov. 25 with a double barreled attraction starting at 3 p.m. At that time Johnny Norlander, star of the basketball court and a member of the Converse Rubber Company staff of basketball specialists, is slated to give an exhibition which is free of charge to the public. Area high school coaches and players have been invited to see this display of basketball fundamentals.

The afternoon's program will include a film of some of last year's title games at 3 o'clock in the college auditorium. Following the film, Norlander's clinic will adjourn to the college gymnasium where he will demonstrate the latest basketball techniques. This demonstration will be restricted to fundamentals and will not in any way trespass on the individual styles which local basketball coaches teach their squads.

Norlander played his collegiate basketball at Hamline University where he gained All-American basketball recognition in 1942.

Following Navy service during World War II, Johnny played with the professional Baltimore Bullets and the Washington Capitols from 1946 until 1951 when a torn ligament ended his playing career.

The second half of the basketball attraction will take place at 8 p.m., when the Peru State Bobcat varsity will make their first 1958-59 public appearance as they ta11gle in the annual varsity-alumni game. Proceeds from admission, which is 25c for students and 50c for adults, will be used in the future to furnish some worthy individual or indi~lai:ship to

Summary of 1958 Football Season

By Bruce Smith and Bob Henry This was a surprise season in the Nebraska College Football conference as the once lowly Chadron Eagles rose to great heights as they swept to a cochampionship tie with powerful Kearney State and in the process knocked Peru State out of the running.

The Bobcats got away to a roaring start, winning their first six contests before running into Chadron. The Eagles knocked any possible championship hopes out the window when they convincingly defeated the Peruvians 26 to 0 in the Oak Bowl. This was the first shutout for an Al Wheeler coached team since 1951. The next week Peru rebounded to defeat Doane and close the season with a highly respectable record of seven wins and one loss.

One bright note is that of the 29 men who earned letters this season, only six were seniors. It now appears that next year the Bobcats will have much greater depth than this year's comparatively thin squad.

This year's squad was an explosive team which rolled up a total of 205 points to their opponents' 67. In total offense the Bobcats outgained their opponents by more than 700 yards.

Here are the scores of this season's contests, showing the Peru score in the first column.

Delzell Doings By Phil Fahrlander Eleven weeks of school have passed. How time flies! It seems only yesterday that the fall term began. The quarter grades are now just a memory (ugh!) and the Thanksgiving recess is fast approaching (hooray!).

Thanks to the Thanksgiving formal, fewer braves left the reservation this past week-end. The "turkey trot" brought out the Arthur Murray in some of the campus lads. Others became bunion-conscious.

Steve Rose received min o r burns on the face when his cigarette lighter blew up while he was refueling it. Steve has considered using matches in the future.

Delzell is well equipped with sideline salesmen. Bob Gosch sells insurance in room 104, and Dick Neale sells personalized stationery in room 302. You name it-Delzell's got it!

The dorm has recently added some new records to its hi-fi collection. The next dance ought to be a dandy.

Dormitory life never grows dull. Something happens every day to break what would otherwise be a monotonous existence.

Every type of character can be found within the walls of Delzell. The meek and the bold, the student and the playboy; all live together under the same roof.

Togetherness!

P.T.A. P.T.A. was held October 18 in the Campus High School auditorium. P .. Holdorf, A. Brady, and T. J. Parker lead the three discussion groups on the theme "Learning More About Our Children."

Hosts for the social hour were the parents of the eighth and ninth graders.

Debaters in Tourney

By Pat Earl "Seventeen's Stories," edited

by Babette Rosmond, are thirteen outstanding short stories from the pages of Seventeen magazine.

Individually, they cover a wide range in mood, setting and style, but together they form a remarkable vivid and sensitive portrait of modern youth which makes absorbing, provocative reading for any age.

In "Fine's American College Counselor and Guide" Benjamin Fine gives you facts about higher education. You can quickly narrow the field according to your interest, aims, and financial position, get an accurate idea of the kind of college, university, or technological institute you are looking for.

If you like a novel that goes on and on, always luring you forward read "The Tontine," a two volume novel by Thomas Bertram Costain. It is about two English families living in early nineteenth century England. The novel begins at the time of the Napoleonic wars. The action is based on the results of buying an insurance lottery called the Great Waterloo Tontine, and in the last book, Tontine becomes the subject of nationwide gambling.

Many helpful ideas can be obtained from the Instructor and Grade Teacher magazines. These magazines could be very useful to the new teachers.

Mr. Langham will be starting a class for new student assistants after Thanksgiving. Class will be held five days a week, and during one class period the students will work in the library.

Campus School Commentary

Wilson presented the Campus School band in a concert wellexecuted, well-received.

By Mary Anna Gnade Surely in an educational institution like ours everyone knew the week of November 9-15 was American Education Week. The Campus School went all out in observance of same, yet did no more than is customary with them throughout the year. To give parents an incentive for visiting classes, report-of-progress conferences were held the Friday before. And these conferences are attended very well indeed-four rooms had every parent there to see what the kids had learned, other rooms had only one or two children not discussed.

During American Ed Week parents followed up these reports by visiting, especially in the elementary grades. It seems an unwritten law among highschoolers to discourage parent visitation. Fourth grade had visitors and visitors and one special visiting time when they square danced as a part of Mr. Manring's music class. (Precision plus fun!) Mrs. Adams reported eight mothers all at once in kindergarten one morning. Campus school secretary Jan Manring made like a mother in kindergarten and third one morning; Mrs. Adams did the same in sixth but not in twelfth; Mrs. Straw did a quick transformation between f i r s t (teaching) and fifth (parenting).

Consider the other parents in the same building: Mr. Masek, Mr. Eddy, Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Manring, Dr. Hutcheson. Mrs. Christ, Dr. Van Pelt, and custodians Mr. Cox and Mrs. Haskins.

And scattered throughout the campus buildings you will find the number legion who have children in the Campus School.

At conferences parents were permitted to view (and order) the class pictures taken by Mr. J. D. Levitt. They turned out so much better than individual pictures taken in previous years.

This project brought to light the fact that a yearbook is in the making for the Campus School something that has long bee~ conspicuous by its absence. Jim Christ, high school junior is serving as apprentice to / D. Levitt in covering picture-worthy events.

To wind up concentration on American Education, the P.T.A. buzzed on problems concerning children. All three groups (lower elementary, middle elementary high school) were agreed on on~ solution to a myriad of problems: spend more time with your children-quality of time spent means more than quantity of time. Parents working together with teachers makes a m 0 r e wholesome child. (In witness whereof, I can speak with authority-angels at 2chool can be veritable demonsf at tome and vice-versa.)

..

Considered opm10n: sure, our school has problem children and brilliant childre.,~ome things could be done ~rently, but on the whole, we certainly have education and kids to be proud of!

Ugh! "Ugh" is a quaint old Indian expression with all sorts of quaint old Indian interpretations. At any rate, "Ugh" was the common retort of both chief and brave upon returning from their re~pective happing h a u n ting grounds after the Thanksgiving vacation.

go ahead by as much as eighteen points. Late in the game Tarkio stormed back to narrow the margin to eight points, but a late spurt by the fast breaking Peruvians again built up a comfortable 15 point spread at the closing gun.

Coach Jack Mcintire's Bobcats will next see action on Dec. 8, when Dana College visits the Peru maples. On Dec. 9, Peru travels to Omaha to battle with Omaha University.

A none-too-smooth Peru State Basketball team had to battle both themselves and the Tarkio College Owls as they opened regular season's play by downing the Owls 82 to 67 at Tarkio, Mo., Tuesday night.

Peru's towering titans, led by 6'5" Bruce Smith's 21 points and 6'8" Bob Mayo's 20 points, were plagued by a rash of bad passes as opening game jitters hampered the Peru offense.

ROSENQUIST CHOSEN ALL-AMERICAN GUARD

t f

Jim Rosenquist has been selected as guard on the WorldHerald's All-Nebraska Co 11 e g e Conference team. Rosenquist was named to the all-star team by nearly every NCC coach who helped select the 1958 team.

Gary Adams, Sid Brown, Jerry Hennings and Buddy Bookwalter received honorable mention on the All-NCC team.

Co-titlists Chadron and Kear-

ney each placed three players on the All-NCC team. Hastings finished fifth but placed ~hree men on the all-star team.

AL WHEELER HONORED The Nebraska Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation gave an honor award to coach Al Wheeler for meritorious service Nov. 22. The award was presented during the annual convention at Monroe Junior High in Omaha.

EARL'S CAFE

Peru State Teachers College unveiled its 1958-59 basketball team Tuesday night as they combined speed, height, and aggressiveness to pummel an alumni aggregation 90 to 53 at Peru.

Under the coaching of Al Wheeler, the alumni battled: on even terms with--th_e varsity for six minutes and 30 seconds of the first half before the superior play of the varsity broke a 7 to 7 tie on Jon Appleget's field goal. The slow-moving first l).alf sawPeru's varsity move to a 38 t.o 23 halftime margin even though its offense sputtered badly at times.

In the second half, the Bobcats opened with their race-horse brand of ball to run away from the badly tiring alumni. The Peru offense was marked by a blistering fast break which took advantage of the unconditioned former Peruvian stars.

Bob Mayo paced the 'Cat offense with 21 points. Leading the alumni point getters was Ron Wagner, head coach at Syracuse, who garnered 12 points.

Though the game on the whole was ragged, there were many bright spots which may indicate some of the strength of the McIntire men. Repeatedly, the Bobcats controlled both backboards and it was their strength under the defensive basket that gave rise to their rocketing fast break.

Coach Mcintire's bench must come in for its share of praise as the reserves kept the pressure on the alumni in their frequent stints of action. . Fourteen' former Peru State 1 basketball letter winners from 12 Nebraska and Missouri communities were on the alumni squad.

They were: Riley Ruby, Hooper; Ron Witt, Millard; Bob Lade, Tarkio, Mo.; Sharon Ocker, Table Rock; Casey Gray, Ruskin; Don Holscher, Odell; Ron Wagner, Syracuse; Bob Davis, Auburn; Bob Norton, Odell; Rudy Shrader, Omaha; Ray Ehlers, Fullerton; Bill Thurman, Omaha; Ned Eckman, Tecumseh; Marvin Gerdes, Auburn.

Peru will next take action as they open regular season's play on December 2 when they travel to Tarkio. Last season, Tarkio inflicted an 88 to 87 defeat on the Bobcats at Tarkio. On Dec. 8 Peru will host Dana College on the home court in the first N.C.C. game of the season.

By Bob Henry With only three lettermen returning from last season's Nebraska College Conference trichampions, head b a s k e t b a 11 coach Jack Mcintire will have a big rebuilding job to do before the Peru State Bobcats sw:ing into the rugged 1958-59 basketball schedule.

However, with a fine looking group of freshmen and transfer students dotting the roster, the rebuilding job may not be as tough as might be expected. In some respects this year's squad looks better than last season's, but it will take some doing to duplicate or better last year's 20 win and 7 loss record. As it now looks, almost every team in the conference will be improved, and the 'Cats have a torturous schedule to face.

Last year the Bobcats put on a late season spurt to sweep into a tri-championship tie with the Hastings Broncos and the Chadron Eagles. Lost from the squad of 1957-53 through graduation are Doug Gibson, Ron Witt, Casey Gray and Riley Ruby. The three returning lettermen are Bruce Smith, Coin, Iowa; Jon Appleget, Beatrice; and Charles Francis, Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Several transfer students will, undoubtedly, take up the slack left by graduation. Juniors Bob Mayo and Jack Johnson, transfers last year from Nebraska University, are expected to make strong bids for starting berths.

Sophomore C 1 a r e n c e "Chick" Stessman, transfer from Creighton University, and Mike Roach, another Nebraska transfer, should see heayy service when they become eligible in the second semester.

Coach Mcintire's squad boasts of a group of excellent looking freshmen who with a little experience should be invaluable to the Bobcat cause. Some of the more promising are: Carroll Carsten, Avoca; Ken Rhodus, Bellevue; Bob Gibson, Falls City; Ron Bergsten, Red Oak, Iowa; Larry Rathe, Sterling; and Jim Poage, Falls Citv.

Sophomore Roger Witt, Otoe, who was held out of action all last year with an injury; has reported in good health and may be expected to give the Peruvians valuable strength.

During the Christmas holidays, Peru will host the second annuaJ Four-State Tour· nament at Falls City's Pritchard A u d i t o r i u m on January 2-3.

Graceland College of Lamoni, Iowa, Baker University of Baldwin, Kans., artd Tarkio (Mo.) College will round out the bracket.

The rugged season includes 10 home engagements and 14 road tests for the 'Cats, thus it will be a tough season for the Peruvians who have been noted for their difficulties on the road and their strength at home.

Johnny Norlander Explains Basketball Tuesday vember 25, an enthused c witnessed a very interesting asketball Exhibition, featuring the personal appearance of Johnny Norlander, former Hamline University Star and member of the Washington Capitols Professional team.

The first part of the exhibiticm consisted of a film showing some if the highlights of last season's major championship games; Following the films, the action switched to the gymnasium, where Mr. Norlander pointed out the rights and wrongs of a few basketball fundamentals. In this feat, he was aided by the varsity Bobcats.

Several high s·chool coaches in the area brought their ball clubs to see the All-American Norlander give his famous exhibition.

uTin Can" Science Popular Course

By Herbert Brown Anyone wandering about on the third floor of the Science Building might think he has happened upon a junk room if he looks in room S-303. Or if a class happens to be in s e s s i o n, he might think it was a den of loonies playing with old bottles, cans, and newspapers.

To Mr. Albert 0. Brady of Peru's Science Department these bottles, cans, and papers are tools of the trade. Room S-303 is the lab room of. General Science 202.

In the "Peru General Bulletin" this course is entitled "Survey of Physical Science," but those who take it have dubbed it "Tin Can Science."

Mr. Brady's science class meets twice a week and works with materials no more complicated than Prestone cans, milk bottles, balloons, and newspapers. The class is designed to aid future elementary teachers who will not have access to expensive laboratory gear. About 70 different experiments covering all phases of science have been worked out using readily available discards.

One experiment to emphasize the weight of air involves a Prestone can filled with steam. As the closed can cools, it collapses as if crushed by a giant hand.

KAPPA DELTA PI CHRISTMAS PARTY Beta Mu Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi met in the Music Hall at 8:00 p.m. on December 1st for their Christmas party. Marilyn Benecke conducted a short business meeting after which background Christmas music was played while the members enjoyed several amusing pencil and paper games. Refreshments of cake and ice cream were served from a reindeer bedecked table

by Jean Ruyle and Bever 1 Y Brown.

Deadline Met The Peruvian staff made another deadline Tuesday, Nov. 25, when 15 pages of student pictures were sent to the Inter-Collegiate Press.

The staff members who made this possible were the co-editors, Mari'iyn Benecke and Alice Phillips; Jayout: Margaret Svoboda, Bev Brown, Janice Jahn, Nadine Adcock; copy: Janice Clark, Marge Clark, Kathy Hughes, Darlene Critel, Joan Schneider; art: Donna Lair; photography: Nancy Kunkel, Rosemary Rottman, and Pauline Kish.

In other experiments hard boiled eggs are pushed in and out of milk bottles simply by changes in air pressure. A glass of colored hot water is poured into a jar of cold water to demonstrate convection currents.

Model planets are made of newspapers and starch around a balloon form. The balloon then is deflated and removed for further use.

At an earlier date, many of these "tin can" e x p e r i m e n t s would have been called "parlor magic." There is no magic in them now. When they are performed in elementary schools across the land, the experiment will serve to make the young people a great deal more aware of the world around them.

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade Wouldn't you know, fire drill came just as 7th grade girls were partially disrobed for gym, and "those little 2nd and 3rd graders out on that cold sidewalk in their stocking feet!" (But after a. fire like the one in Chicago, who's complaining?)

And now the high school has had it's reading convo. Mention has been made previously of the p enchant hischoolers have against parent visitors. In the case of this convo, I didn't even ask-I just went. Lo and behold, I found myself the ONLY parent (aside from teachers who are also parents). I was proud of all "our kids" for all the non-present parents!

Even if the kids have read but not reported books, a goodly portion of hi school now belongs to the Library Club. In this area I can brag just a little (or does the wholesale wearing of glasses have something to do with it?)

Senior Rae Ann didn't stop at the required four books, she read on and on for a total of 28 reported and possibly more unreported. It takes 25 to attain life membership, so she has it made and can slack off to the one book a month required of life members.

At the same convo, honor lists for first half of semester were read of those making B or better. Here again I can boast-my 7th grade Jeannie seemingly was the only one in HS to make all

I'm no true sports fan, but I do enjoy junior hi basketball. They burst with pride when a basket is made. And did you notice the number who came from the showers to play in the band?

College Chorus Presents "The Messiah

Could Be All Year Long An Editorial

By Phil Fahrlander

The crisp winter air and the gaily colored lights welcome another Christmas season. People rush to and fro, busily preparing for this cherished holiday. Hearts are a little warmer, laughter is a little gayer, hatreds are a little less violent. The Christmas season begins immediately after Thanksgiving and ends December 26th. After that date, man reverts to his natural state. Humility and reverence are replaced by pride and prejudice, for in man's present quest for the future, he has forgotten the lessons of the past.

Christ gave mankind a code by which to live-a code which man has chosen to alter or ignore. Carolers chant the traditional noels, friends exchange the usual gifts, and families sit together for the familiar Christmas d i n n e r.

The true significance of Christmas is lost among the gift wrappings.

Christmas comes but once a year. And then, all too often, there is none.

The Oldest and Greatest Christmas Story

By Joan Schneider Now it came to pass in those days, that a decree went forth from Caesar Augustus that a census of the whole world should be taken, and all were going, each to his own town to register. Joseph also went from Galilee out of the town of Nazareth into Judea to the town of David, which was called Bethlehem-because he was of the house and family of David-to register together with Mary, his wife, who was with child. And while they were in Bethlehem, Mary's days to be delivered were fulfilled. The inns were full and there was no place for them exA large Christmas tree, a snow- cept in a stable, so Mary brought man, and other signs of the sea- forth her first-born son and son greeted couples as they en- wrapped him in s wad c11 in g tered Winter Wonderland last clothes and laid him in a manger.

ENGLAND In the middle ages Christmas was a great church festival, celebrated in medieval times by the King and his barons, by the clergy and by practically nobody else. It didn't become a great day until Henry VIII ascended the throne.

England is the land of the yule log, plum pudding and boar's head, the Christmas carol and the Christmas card.

The afternoon before Christmas the fir tree is uprooted in the garden. The same tree is used year after year.

Children get up early to search for their stockings. Then there are religious services followed by family dinner. After tea they all share in the opening of their Christmas presents. The ~est of the day is spent playing games and listening to Christmas stories. General gift giving takes place the day after Christmas known as Boxing Day. The name comes from the fact that the servants and the poor receive money gifts in little boxes.

One of the old English customs that is still in being is the Devil's Knell. The Devil's Knell is tolled at Dewsbury. Hundreds of years ago a youth was killed and his body thrown into a stream. When his murderer was discovered, as a penance the murderer gave a tenor bell to the Dewsbury parish church. The bell now tolls once for each year that has passed since the birth of Christ.

In commemoration of the battles in Wessex in 878, when the warriors warmed themselves at night by burning branches of the ash tree, an Ashen Fagot is now ceremoniously b u r n e d each Christmas Eve at Dunster in Somersetshire.

And this shall be a sign to you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth among men of good will."

Then the angels departed from the heavens and in their mists the shepherds saw a bright star which they followed to the stable in Bethlehem. (See Luke 2:1-17) The Magi from the East seeing the star came to Jerusalem asking "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East and have come to worship him."

Christmas ...

In Other Lands (Continued from page one) luck to have a cat meow on Christmas Eve. The. holidays do not end with Christmas. On New Year's Eve young men go from door to door, singing folk songs and ballads.

At every home visited donations for the poor are received. By dawn the singers have gathered generous stores for distribution among the needy, a task attended to immediately after morning mass. Later there is a family dinner at grandfather's house. All the children, from the oldest to the youngest, gather about the table to enjoy the delicacies.

GERMANY Christmas in Germany is a festival that has contributed heavily toward the Christmas we know in America.

The traditional Christmas tree is derived from Germany. It was first used there as a symbol of Christmas 'in the 16th century.

The Christmas tree has further historical roots from the Roman Saturnalia and the Norse worship of trees. The custom of the Christmas tree was brought to England and the United States froom Germany in the 19th century. Under the Christmas tree the German christians place ~ crib with Mary and Joseph standing near. The Magi are shown

presenting gifts. The presents are also placed at the foot of the tree.

An infant, dressed as Christ, presents the gifts.

Nativity plays are often a central part of the Christmas festival in the Rhineland. Children are usually the cast for such plays.

On Christmas Eve carols are heard continuously throughout the evening. At this time the children hang up their stockings at the foot of the bed. They are to be filled by a man n a m e d Krishkinkle who is supposed to descend from the chimney with gifts for all good children. If a child has been naughty, he finds a birch-rod instead of sweetmeats in the stocking. Pelsnichol is the donor of the birch-rod.

Krishkinkle and Pelsnichol are distinct personages-the one the rewarder of good children, the other the punisher of the bad.

They are occasionally represented as the same individual under different characters, the prototype often called St. Nick.

Ancient Germanic tribes used mistletoe in the religion of Druidism. Mistletoe was said to have magical properties which could render its possessor good fortune. The custom of kissing under mistletoe is the only suggestion that remains from its former meaning. However, Mr. T. G. Crippen wrote in "Christmas and Christmas Lore" a further meaning of the mistletoe custom. He said:

"The mistletoe bough at our Christmas board, Shall hang, to the honor of Christ our Lord: For He is the evergreen Tree of Life, Whom the old blind world, amid hate and strife, Rejected and slew; but he soared above, Alive from the dead, in the power of love: And Mercy and Ttuth are assembling now, With Justice and Peace, at the mistletoe bough."

Christmas is symbolic of God's generosity to mankind. In all countries beneath the festivities and merriments of Christmas is the underlying spirit of brotherhood and generosity.

ITALY Many of the Christmas mores which we have today were originated by the Italians.

In Roman Catholic . churches the heart of the celebration is the creche, or crib, the realistic tableau in miniature of the nativity.

This was introduced in the Italian church by Francis of Assisi in 1224, in his efforts to bring Christmas to the people.

The Presepio, or miniature representation of the nativity, rather than the Christmas tree, came to be the holiday symbol in Italian homes.

The Italian Christmas is a sacred holiday, observed with solemn ceremonies including a midnight mass in the churches.

Though there are home 路customs and special foods, gifts are reserved for E p i p h any-the Twelfth Night.

Christmas decorations d at e back to the time when the Romans ornamented their temples and homes with green boughs and flowers for the Saturnalia, their season of merry-making and giving of presents.

MEXICO Our neighbors to the south, the Mexicans, have Christmas celebrations which are both simple and beautiful. They are called the Posadas. Posada means "resting place" or "inn" and commemorates the journey Mary and Joseph took from Nazareth to Bethlehem.

In preparation for the Posadas, each home is decorated with flowers and has a small altar with a representation of the nativity.

The Posadas begin on Dec. 16, and groups of nine families hold one every night before Christmas Eve. Each night they meet in a different home. Carrying candles and an image of Mary and Joseph; they re-enact the search for shelter. They stop at the door of each room in the home and plead for entry. At the last ro0m they are admitted and there they sing and give thanks.

Mayo Paces Peru to 78-66 Win Bobcats Bound Bobcats Clobber Dana 71-46 To Tenn. Tourney From Omaha World-Herald

By Maurice Shadle

· Something different in basketball was offered at the University of Omaha Tuesday night, Dec. 9, as Peru Teachers lived up to expectations by handing the Indians a 78-66 setback.

Bob Mayo, six-foot eight-inch transfer from the University of Nebraska, offered the oddity for approximately 11 hundred fans.

He played without relief until the last 23 seconds and wasn't cha.rged with a foul.

The big center, who became bolder as the game progressed, finished with 29 points.

Mayo Indians' Target Mayo was the target of the smaller Indians from the outset.

Bill Harmon and Phil Gradoville did an excellent job of doubleteaming him through the early minutes as Omaha rolled to a 7-0 lead. Bruce Smith finally found the range for the Bobcats.

Harmon was charged with two fouls in the first 10 minutes and Gradoville one. They became less aggressive as their rival used his height and experience to advantage.

The smooth-working Indians held an 18-14 lead midway through the first half. They fell behind at the half, 33-29, as Mayo dominated both boards.

Peru had too much of everything-height, speed, and shooting accuracy-for the visitors to cope with.

Buckets by Chuck Francis, Bob Mayo, and Bruce Smith gave the Bobcats a six point lead in less than two minutes. In six minutes and 45 seconds, the Mcintire men raced to a 17-5 lead.

At the half, with only reserves still playing, Peru had a commanding lead of 45-24.

A cold Bobcat team took the floor, and they went 4:40 before Jack Johnson dropped in a field goal. Nevertheless, the Vikings never came within 16 points of the Bobcats. With reserves playing, Peru increased the lead to 26 points at the firing of the final gun.

Scoring leaders were Bob Mayo, 15; Bruce Smith, 13; and Chuck Francis, 12.

···.Campus School Busy With Christmas Programs Campus School spelling and art classes revolve Commentary

By Marjorie Clark around Christmas ideas and fun.

The kindergarten girls will portray rabbits and the boys, tigers in the Christmas program this year. The children have also been making decorations for their Christmas tree, paper sack Santas and gifts for their parents. As Christmas day draws near, excitement mounts, and every fiveyear-old finds it harder and harder to wait for that magical visit from Santa Claus.

The first grade is busy making decorations for the room and tree and gifts for Mom and Dad. Their song for the Christmas program is called "Christmas Toys."

The second grade is giving the "Shoemaker and the Elves" for their part of the Christmas program. Rex Beatty is the shoemaker, Jean Masek, the shoemaker's wife, and the children are Karen Schneider, M art in Combs, and Arlene Brown. The elves are Ronald Allgood, Terry Reeves, Danny Cotten, Michael Adams, and Joe Whisler. Allan Adams, Laureen Falk, Rhonda Collin, and Muriel DeZwarte are the narrators. Mrs. Sproul of the Home Economics de p art me nt helped in making the elves' suits. The children are having fun decorating the school room and making Christmas gifts for the parents.

The third grade boys and girls are busy preparing for Christmas, and air is full of secrets. There is a smell of enamel paint they use in making the window and tree decorations. Language, reading,

This Is Living?

By Jody Parriott The holiday spirit is very much in evidence in Eliza Morgan and Mount Vernon Halls.

The girls have come up with some very clever ideas in room decorations. The rooms will be judged and a first and second place "Best Decorated Room" will be chosen.

The annual Dorm Christmas Party given by Mrs. Fulton, will be held Tuesday night, Dec. 16.

The activities begin w it h Christma~ caroling. Each girl stands at her room door with a candle, waits until her wing counselor passes by, and lights the girl's candle with her own candle.

With candles glowing in the dark, the procession begins. From third floor, the girls carol as they walk in a line down through second floor, pick up the s e c o n d floor girls, then continue through first floor until every one is assembled in the lobby. After singing a few carols in the lobby, the girls retire to the recreation room for refreshments.

There will be special Christmas decorations in front of the dorm. There is to be a Christmas tree on the balcony, co 1ore d lights wound around the pillars and interwoven through the balcony railing.

I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Have a happy andl safe holiday. See you all next year.

The third graders are to be carolers in the Christmas program and will be clad in capes of white crepe paper with jaunty red bows. They have also drawn names for a gift exchange at their Christmas party.

The fourth grade will have a party Friday afternoon, when they will exchange gifts and holiday wishes.

The fourth, fifth and sixth grades are rehearsing for the.

Christmas Choral program at which they will sing the true story of how "Silent Night" came to be written. This will be presented the evening of December 18 in the campus school audi.torium.

The fifth grade decorated a tree for their room and the sixth grade is stressing the idea "it is more blessed to give than to receive" in their classes.

The eighth grade is planning a Christmas party in their room, and a committee appointed by the class president is in charge.

Names have been exchanged for gifts.

The campus school high school will. give a Christmas program, December 19. Carols will be sung and the German class will sing "Silent Night" in German.

A Christmas dance was held December 13 in the c amp u s school auditorium. The sophomore class and their sponsor planned the dance for the high school students and several parents attended.

By Mary Anna Gnade "Only 14 more days until Christmas-only 9 more days until vacation!" Snatches of unfamiliar songs which are undoubtedly Christmas-type songs float here and there. Without consulting the director of the whole affair you get a mighty garbled version of what the school program will be.

Apparently (as of this early, early date), the kindergarten will do a clever piece on Christmas of the animals-and you know how touching the kindergartners can be. Apparently first, second and third grades will cooperate in song-here are a n o t h e r age group, still cute but filled with the importance of growing up.

Apparently fourth, fifth and sixth grades are combining a little indefinitely-Kenny Adams is Joseph, Jackie Milstead is Mary "and then the townspeople come out and just stand there in front of them and sing." The high school program, too, is singing.

(However, Mr. Manring told Mr. Moore "they have their lines learned and they have their music, can we get them together?")

So, there must be a play-operetta type thing in the making.

Coming past the store one frosty Monday morning, f i r s t thought was "0 the Christmas trees are in," but clearer view showed grade school t e a ch er s hurrying to "get one before they are all picked over." This two weeks before Christmas recess has favorite ornaments and dec9rations traipsing to school to do first part of double duty. ·This year up to even eighth grade drew names for gift exchange. Price limitations vary from 29c in lower grades to 49c in higher grades-"and what can you get for that?" I find the middle grade (4th) is hardest to please. They want something very fine, but suffer sad disillusionment when it comes to price.

And none of them are sure just when they have their parties.

High School Christmas dance hangs high in the schedule-who to ask, what to wear (not only girls, but boys, too). And the junior high must have a dance or party in the offing, too, in spite of scoffing from older brother and sister.

Then to inject a sober note into the merry, misty, hectic season comes the homework that must be done-reams of themes, stories, reports, research papers, arithmetic, algebra, science, and plain old spelling. HS J u n i o r John H. summed it up very well: "I wish we had vacations oftener.

I get so bored with school I can hardly wait for vacations; 'then after a day or so I want to come back."

So with many good wishes for the "season to be jolly," ring out the old, ring in the new, and come back imbued with new wim and wigor.

Mrs. Maryon Adams, kindergarten supervisor, visited the seventh grade home economics class and gave them some helpful pointers on how to tell stories to little children. This is a part of the unit of "Helping to Care for Younger Children."

The beginning of basketball season marks a division in the college band. The pep band is divided into two groups so that each band member has to play at only half of the home games and so that the music won't be so loud that it would blast everyone out of the gym.

Unity prevails in the concert band, though. The band is practicing hard on numbers for the January 15 concert 1because there

are only two weeks after Christ· mas vacation before the concert.: Two records of "The Merry .

Wives of Windsor," which is one' of the concert numbers, were' heard by the band. These gave: the band members an idea o what professional orchestral arrangements of the song soun like, and the goal of the band i · to sound as much as possible like a professional orchestra when playing that piece.

A WONDERFUL GIFTTOGETHERNESS

By Jody Parriott The Christmas season brings to my mind the feeling of togetherness. As long as I can remember, Christmas has been a time when each member of the family makes a supreme effort to be home.

Sometimes this is rather difficult, but there have been few years that anyone failed to be present.

The family is increasing in number every year. Like most families, we have our share of characters. There is Aunt Harriett, who is an ardent lover of the classics, and her husband, Uncle Earl, whose prize possession is a collection of modern art paintings by Salvador Dali. There is Uncle Ralph, who is always trying to promote fabulous deals, and Cousin Eddy, who spends most of his spare time playing the bongo drums.

Perhaps the most beloved of all is Grandma Holley, who is now in her nineties. She is quite an active person; always energetic and cheerful. Her greatest joy is seeing all the family get together and having an opportunity to get acquainted with the new additions.

My sister Ellen's baby, born this year, is Grandma's first gr e at-granddaughter. Grandma enjoys her great-grandsons but this was something special. She kept telling everyone, "I'm going to stick around 'til Christmas to see that little girl."

Mother contacted all the fam-

ily long before Christmas. had answered that she and h family would not be able to mak it this year. Mother broke th news to everyone as gently a possible.

The activities of the next fe weeks drew the family closer t gether. We decided upon a pla and all began to work toward common goal. We decided to po the money we would ordinaril have spent on gifts and send · to Ellen for plane fare to brin her family home.

It was a strange Christma morning to have no presen awaiting us ~er the tree. Ho ever, we all felt ~e had give something much greater than present. We were all togeth once more. It was a wonderfu Christmas ..

$1,456,000 Building Program Gamon and Melvin Guests at Brooks' Inaugural Ball On Thursday, January 8, 1959, Dr. Gomon and Dean Melvin were special guests of Governor Brooks at the inaugural address, dinner, and the ball.

The inauguration was called to order by Speaker of the House Burney. The oath of office was given to Governor Brooks and the other state officials. Then he gave his inaugural address. Dean Melvin's opinion was that the address was very good.

The reception followed in the governor's suite.

The ball was opened with a concert by McCook and Wymore High School bands. The governor and state officials took part in the grand march, during which the University of Nebraska's band played. They then formed the reception line, and the special guests took their places on the stage.

The Royal Treatment Goodwill Manor Guests ... get the royal treatment from Tennessee State University's Mrs. Alger V. Boswell, wife of the University's· vice pres·ident, Dr. A. V. Boswell. Mrs. Boswell is pouring tea for Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president of Nebraska State College, Peru, Nebraska, who was visiting Tennessee State for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, South Central Tip-Off Tournament, as was Al Wheeler (third from left), past president of the NAIA. Tennessee State's president, Dr. W. S. Davis, who hosted the eight-team tournament officials, is pictured at the extreme right.

LET'S HELP PRESIDENT GOMON BUILD PERU ·One million four hundred and fifty:six thousand dollarsthat's what the front page headline for this issue of the Ped proclaims. That's a lot of money, and the facilities provided by it will make a tremendous difference in the kind of job Peru will be able to do.

Major credit for this building program-the biggest in the history of Peru-should go to Peru's capable President Neal S. Gomon. Coming here nine years ago when the student body numbered around 250, Gomon has had much to do with bringing the present enrollment to over 450. He has enlarged the staff and the faculty and improved existing facilities, and he has added fine student and faculty housing units . and greatly improved the Oak Bowl. His crowning achievement is the ambitious building program now under way. Peru would not have had this building program if President Gomon had not been a tenacious man with great vision. In spite of many obstacles and discouragements, he never abandoned his dream for a greater Peru, and he never stopped working to make the dream come true.

Every student, every resident of this area, every staff member, and every faculty member should do everything that he can to help President Gomon make the college a better place to learn and Southeastern Nebraska a better place to live.

If we can't do anything else to help, we can, at very least, follow the slogan of Don Carlile's department and "Tell the world about Peru." There's plenty growing here besides the thousand oaks.

As we go into the final days of the semester, a bit of serious studying has mom.~ n tar i 1y slowed down the pace of activities. With the clackety-clack of many typewriters· finishing term papers, book reports, notebooks, etc., the dorm sounds like a newspaper office working round the clock to meet a deadline. The study sessions last far into the night. However, the residents still seem to find time to celebrate birthdays and acknowledge engagements.

Joan Riggle gave her roommate, Helen Warford, two birthday parties. The Wednesday night party was planned as a surprise but Helen found out about it. Joan succeeded by giving her an unexpected party the following night.

Christmas was an especially exciting time for some of our girls. Those who became engaged during the Christmas vacation are: Carol Tubach, Donna Lair, Bev Mehlin, Janie Grindle, Nancy Carr, and Nadine Adcock.

Carol Tubach became engaged to Gerald Hooper who is also a Peru student. Both Carol and Gerald are from Falls City.

Donna Lair is engaged to Tom Nenneman from Sidney, Iowa.

Donna is a senior. They plan to be married on May 31, two days after graduation. ' Bev Mehlin's fiance is Buddy Bookwalter. Bev is a sophomore and Buddy is a junior this year.

An August wedding is planned

by Nancy Carr and Doug Dickerson. Nancy is a sophomore and Doug is a junior.

Janie Grindle's fiance Ed Mulholland is from Malvern, Iowa.

At the present time he is attending Omaha U. No definite wedding date has been set.

Nadine Adcock and Phil Fahrlander are engaged. They are planning an August wedding.

Mrs. Fulton went to the hospital for several days with the flu.

We are happy to have her back and in good health.

During the week of final tests, the girls who are student teaching are going to serve cocoa and · doughnuts for those who will be burning the midnight oil.

obcats Maul Bulldogs 103-68 Smith Plays Final Game on Home Court •

By Bob Henry Free throws told the difference as Nebraska Wesleyan University outscored the Peru State Bobcats from the field, but went down to defeat 61 to 68 in a Nebraska College Conference game Tuesday night at Peru. In winning their third conference game without defeat, the Peruvians hit 24 of 27 chari:ty.-tosses to give them their margin of victory.

From the floor, Wesleyan tossed in 23 field goals while Peru was connecting for 22.

It was a rough and tumble conte~t that saw Wesleyan lead the favored 'Cats for the first 13:35 of the game. Bruce Smith's two free tosses knotted the game at 21 all at that point, and then a brace of foul shots by Chuck Francis put the Bobcats into the lead for the first time. From there on it was nip and tuck in the first half with Peru managing a slim 35 to 34 margin at halftime.

As the second half opened, Wesleyan jumped into their last lead at 38 to 36, but the towering Peruvians tied the game on Smith's field goal and went ahead to stay as Bob Mayo canned a free throw.

With some four minutes remaining, Peru had sprinted to a 12 point 65 to 53 lead and from there on they elected to stall.

The stall was successful as Peru ate up the remaining minutes to earn the victory, although Wesleyan narrowed the gap.

Outstanding work on the boards by Mayo and Smith highlighted the Peru defense while ,Wesleyan's Arvid Barney led his 'mates in rebounding. Leading the Bobcats to their tenth win of the season· as against a lone defeat was Bob Mayo with 23 points, though closely pressed! for honors by Chuck Francis who netted 21 counters. Rudy Stoehr paced the losing Methodists from Lincoln with 17 points .

The second half found the Bobcats a little warmer, but they came out on the short end of the thriller.

Delzell Doings By Phil Fahrlander

Symphonic Wind Ensemble Presents Annual Winter Concert A tympani solo and a trumpet trio were featured at the annual winter concert of the Peru State College Symphonic Wind Ensemble under the direction of Gilbert E. Wilson.

Brenda Spaulding was the soloist in "Tympendium," a suite for solo tympani and band by Schin-

stine.

LeRoy Anderson's po p u 1a r "Bugler's Holiday" was presented by the trumpet trio. Members of the trio were Bob Kaiser, Henry Hinrichs, and Clark Maffitt.

The highlight of the concert was the overture to the opera "The Merry Wives of Windsor"

by Otto Nicolai.

Other selections presented by the ensemble were "My Fair Lady," "Brighton Beach March," "Highlights from South Pacific," "Beguine for Band," and "Marcho Poco." For their encore number the group played a concert march, "The Nutmeggers."

Campus School Commentary

It was a large choice-to practice a baton routine or make Mr. Jindra happy by playing (poorly, after vacation) the violin. "Thank goodness, he didn't ask us,'' so batons win.

Making up and practicing a 2part skit for same FHA Show was a lot of fun for Jeannie and Linda Combs, especially when you consider the tremendous odds of small brothers as critical audience.

At least one 7th grader and one 8th grader are thrilled at the prospect of "taking" Spanish next semester. And you find some discussion of the forthcoming scholastic contest and some speculation as to which pupil will represent the school in which test.

Wonder if it is doing anything for more concentrated attention to lessons?

All last year Sally came to school early to meet Lauralee so they could meet Steve Parker and say hello to him. He has now tilmbled from the pedestal and boys more the girls' o;vn age have caught their attention. I know this will be a sad blow to the HS senior.

Campus School yearbooks have progressed to the point that today (Friday) was the last day that one could be ordered-and the kids haven't yet been able to get their class pictures taken and ordered so long ago they won't recognize themselves.

With all the final exam anxiety floating around among college students, haven't heard: a breath in the anxious vein from the Campus School-all smart kids, sure of their knowledge, huh?

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA

By Mary Anna Gnade 'Tis the season for it-political campaigns, I mean. S t u d e n t teacher Sid Brown has promoted just such in 8th grade social science "for fond memory's sake" as one irreverent candidate put it. Seems as though Sid remembers his success as campaign manager in his tender 8th grade years, and is putting experience to practical use. While it is only an 8th grade thing, the Campus School is plastered with posters: "Big Sid Haswell for Lt. Governor," "John Patterson, little man for a big job," "Put your best foot forward, vote Progressive," and strung all across the high school hall "Vote R-E-F-0-R-M." A whirlwind interview with candidate "Big" Sid Haswell, Reform candidate for Lt. Governor, revealed he didn't much want it. He said he told Brown he was going to wipe out the opposition by tearing down all Progressive posters; Brown said that wasn't ethical; Haswell said "I told him I didn't have any ethics." (Who said little pitchurs don't have big ears?)

At a coffee-time visit, Sid Brown had the final ballot with these candidates: Progressive party, John Patterson, governor; John Eichkoff, Lt. governor; Devon Adams, secretary of state; Marilyn Larson, treasurer. Reform party, Steve Gnade, governor; Sid Haswell, Lt. governor; Nancy Jarvis, secretary of state; Gayle Hutcheson, treasurer. Tom Gomon has been handling campaigning for some of the candidates. Coffee cup advisors to Brown thought he should insist on at least an inaugural address setting forth what the successful party hopes to accomplish. (One candidate dropped the information that he had a two-page speech written, just in case he was asked to make one!)

Election was Thursday. Brown reports "Progressives (and Democrats) had a field day." (And after all this strenuous effort, these offices hold good only in Social Studies class.)

The first two quarters have now been played and half-time ceremonies completed. The trusty coffee pots are shelved, and the dusty texts are pawned. The weary collegiates rest in woe.

The most prominent pastime of Delzell d~mizens is now that of loafing. Christmas vacation proved to be detrimental to the study habits which a few had required, and the week before finals found many in a frantic state. Residents are now soothing shattered nerves and: preparing for the new onslaught.

Christmas seemed to be a popular season in which to visit the local jewelry store. Doug Dickerson, Gerald Hooper, Jerry Beckman, and Yours Truly are now among the engaged. The water in the bath tub was mighty cold.

A few budding poets have recently emerged from the first floor clan. Bob Mayo and Ernie Ridgeway have decided that their efforts in this field are not al-

verse, the more terse the curse.

Delzell inmates were busy last week cleaning up their rooms for inspection. No matter h-0w much the fellows gripe, the need for these inspections is evident. Never know when you might find someone who has slept through a week of classes because his alarm failed to go off.

Professor Jindra Gets Citizenship Award From Kiwanis

Policies Committee Ruling Should Improve Quality Of Teacher Training

Professor Victor H. Jindra received the Peru Kiwanis Club's Citizenship Award from G. M. Pryor, chairman of the club citizenship committee, at the January 27 meeting of the organization.

Mr. Jindra, a member of the faculty at Peru State Teachers College since 1923, was cited as an outstanding citizen of the community, a great teacher of music and a selfless community worker. In making the presentation, Mr. Pryor pointed out how Mr. Jindra influenced the lives of literally thousands of college students and elementary school pupils.

All High School Teachers Will Get Concentrated Training High school teacher路s .from Peru will be better prepared in their subject fields in the future after a new policy adopted by the Policies Committee goes into effect next year. The Committee adopted a resolution last week making it mandatory that all students except those preparing for elementary teaching earn enough credits for two fields of subject matter concentration-one of 24 or more semester hours, and the other of 32 or more hours.

The Policies Committee action will result in a sharp break with the past. Heretofore students preparing for high school teaching have been urged to earn a major and two or more minors.

Only a few students acquired a double major.

According to one Policies Committee member the old policy resulted in poor professional preparation for a career in teaching and deterred advancement in the teaching profession.

Accredited schools require teachers to have at least 24 semester hours in the subject field taught. Sm a 11, non-accredited schools often want teachers to work in three or four fields: The old policy of having a major and two or three minors made Peru's students attractive to small under-staffed schools, but unattractive to larger accredited institutions.

Student Loan Fund Bolstered A total of $1,970 has been allocated to Peru State Teachers College under terms of the National Defense Education Act for student loans for the second semesier and summer session, according to information received by .Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president at Peru State.

With the addition of $218.88, which is one-ninth of the allocation added from existing loan funds of the college, a total of $2,188.88 will be available to students through June 30, 1959, the first period covered.

Wayne caught fire in the fourth quarter to score 18 points to Peru's 12, but Peru's stalling tacti.cs ate up the time before the Wildcats could close in. This victory coupled with Kearney's 63 to 68 loss to Chadron boosted Peru into the NCC driver's seat.

Now that a new semester has started aild everything has returned to normal-noise, parties, staying up late-everyone is trying to get in the mood for studying. This may be rather hard, because there are new students to become acquainted with, and dorm meetings and parties to attend.

There are six new girls in the dorm this semester. They are Rae Mae Henry, Plattsmouth; Margaret Lewis, Falls City; Kathy Hagen, Springfield; Pat Meyer, Omaha; Beth Humphrey, Auburn; and Marlene Nelson, Auburn.

Several of the girls from second floor and Mount Vernon gave Kathy Rhoten a party on her eighteenth birthday.

Doane's Stalling Lowers Scoring

Peru 41 - Doane 31 The basement-dwelling Doane Tigers, though winless in the Nebraska College C o n f e r e n c e, earned the distinction of holding the high scoring Peru State Bobcats to their lowest score of the season before succumbing to the Peruvians 31 to-~n-- at Peru Monday night.

Monday night's encounter saw Doane put their hopes in deepfreeze basketball, in their attempt to upset the Bobcats who have averaged 81 points per game. Slow down they did, but upset they didn't as Peru's rebounding strength, coupled with cold Tiger shooting from the field proved too much for the Tigers to cope with. Peru hit 31 percent from the field while Doane hit a frigid 19 percent

Final Curtain Falls On Smith's Career Saturday night, January 17, as the Peru State Bobcats tangled with Hastings College at Hastings, Peru's Bruce Smith rang down the curtain on his basketball career. Bruce closed out his career by pouring in 19 points and grabbing 19 rebounds as Peru defeated Hastings, 69 to 63.

The big 6'5" Coin, Iowa, senior was graduated from Peru State on January 23 with a Bachelor of Science in Education and thus will be lost to the Bobcat cause as the Bobcats go down the stretch in the Nebraska College Conference.

Regular Since '56 Since first donning basketball togs in the 1956-57 season, Smith has been a regular for the Bobcats, and has been a great force in revitalizing Peru State basketball fortunes which for several previous years were in the doldrums. As a sophomore in 195657, Smith and his teammates wound up in sixth position in the NCC, but last year with Smith leading the scoring parade, the Bobcats wound up in a three way tie for the championship. So far this season the Bobcats, with Smith .as one of the leading scorers, have posted an 11 and 1 record and are tied with Midland for the conference lead.

Doa.ne virtually stalled away the first five miinutes of the game as they probed the Peru defense. In this period, the visiting Tigers aimed two shots at the elusive hoop and connected on only one, while Peru · was matching this production with single charity tosses by Mayo and Appleget.

Jon Appleget broke the two to two deadlock with a free throw and Peru was ahead to stay, as the clock showed 6:15 played in the slower-than-slow contest.

Upon graduation from high school in 1952, Bruce was besieged by many scholarship offers from midwestern schools, including two Big-Seven schools.

This "wooing" prompted him to join the navy not only "to see the world," but also to have time to make up his mind as to his future educational plans.

"One Big Seven school had offered me ,a scholarship for football and '<'nother for basketball.

It was really confusing since I really wasn't sure which sport was my best," S_mith said.

No Unbeaten Teams In College Conference

By Bob Henry January 17 and 18 saw the last of the unbeaten Nebraska College Conference teams vanish, as the fight for first place tightened.

Going into Friday night games, Peru, Hastings, and Midland all had perfect NCC records, but by the time the week-end's activity was over, all three teams had suffered one or more losses.

Kearney dropped Peru, Hastings defeated Midland, and Peru rebounded after their Kearney loss to defeat the Broncos from Hastings. Kearney continued its winning ways by handing Midland its second conference defeat on Saturday night.

Friday night, as Kearney host-

ed Peru at Axtell, the Bobcats ran into one of those nights when nothing seemed to go right.

Plagued by erratic ball handling, a leaky defense, and a rash of fouls that saw all members of the starting five foul out, the Bobcats suffered their first NCC defeat of the esason as Kearney edged the Peruvians 85 to 82.

Peru started out to continue its winning ways and led at halftime 47 to 38. Early in the fourth quarter Peru hit a five minute cold streak where they scored only four points while the Kearney gunners were posting 16 points to take a lead they never relinquished as they rolled to (Continued on page four)

Bruce Smith, playing his next to last game before graduation, paced the losing 'Cats with 22 points, while Bob Mayo rolled in 20 for the Peru cause.

Still smarting from their defeat at the hands of Kearney, Peru rebounded to hand Hastings its first defeat of the NCC season 69 to 63 at Hastings Saturday night. Hastings jumped into an early lead, but buckets by Smith and Mayo closed the gap and put Peru into a 17 to 15 lead midway in the first half. By halftime the Peruvians had lengthened their advantage to a 33 to 24 score. Hastings fought back after the half to close the· gap and go ahead at one point at 57 to 56 on Tom Pawloski's tip in.

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade Student teacher Betty Sedlacek discovered a new way of keeping order in 8th grade: because of cold she shut the window, then everyone got so groggy they had no energy for hi jinks.

Marjorie Leenerts (predecessor to student teacher Jan Manring, 4th grade) conducted her hand puppeteers in a most charming fairy tale "The Cardboard Castle" before 1st graders: the king and queen played cards, .the dragon lashed his tail, the princess admired peasant Peter who in the end was a prince after all.

Lovely art work in which the whole grade had a finger made the background along with a clever ."cardboard" castle.

Mrs. Iversen's 5th graders had a "going away" party for her the last day of first semester. She will still be in the buiding but will teach Miss Ashley's college classes. Mrs. Moore will reign in her place in 5th grade. Good excuse for a party when Mrs. M. leaves and another when Mrs. I. returns.

Last day of semester the HS speech class had "banquet" speaking. Among other awards made, mailboy John came out of class sporting ..a c a r d b o a r d "brownie award." Understand Marshall, Monty and Bruce were also named. Slow s p e a k i n g Wayne won "fastest talker of year." (Is this a form of final exam?)

Now the hula hoop takes a back seat for the "whirley whirler"-a plastic plate on a stick.

Mr. Johnson is greatly admired for his ability in balancing the whirler on his chin and finger"he's real, real good!"

You don't need to be smart or athletic to win a Campus School "P" award-just be there. With very little fanfare (in accordance with Hi School aversion to parent observation), honors were awarded to people on the semester honor roll, for every grade of A, for outstanding achievement, and for perfect attendance. But no mention was made of those who were elected: to the National Honor Society, Judy, Monty, Lanette, Sandra, Steve. Now there are a group of whom classmates, teachers, parents and friends should all be proud. (And most of these have asked about admission to Peru State!)

Since Alaska is now a state, emphasis seems to be on finding out more about that territory in the elementary grades, at least.

And they are writing "business" letters in 7th and 8th grades. Also, JoEllen McNergney asked for onion skin paper so her pupils could write letters to Japan, to be mailed in one large envelope.

A visit to the kindergarten room is always rewarding. After much trouble getting hamsters acclimated, one is now thriving (I should say, sleeping); guppies take no offense at having highlycolored artificial fish among their greenery; the snails are very prolific; but the blue parakeet just flutters and says nary a word.

This age is highly unpredictable. F'instance: one phrase of the song "Teddy Bear's Picnic" is "watch them, catch them unawares." The teacher blanched and looked fraiJically for a hole to crawl in as she h\ird one little cherub singing in clear pearshaped tones: "watch them, catch them in their underwear!"

Then again, · swer to what each had for . up "I had the · ever. I had pancakes with popcorn on them!" (No star for that "better" breakfast!) And Shannon: "We always have chocolate milk on somebody's birthday and since nobody has a birthday for a long time, I thought maybe we could celebrate Jesus' birthday again today!" (Shades of Art Linkletter !)

We're going to win the speech contest this March. I speak with authority since Mr. Moore made the statement in HS convo that he didn't enter any events unless he was sure his group would win.

A show of hands indicated plenty of willing contestants.

And in March we have Campus School open house which will be combined with a cakewalk, carnival type money-making thing conducted by high schoolers under PTA direction. *Polio and Dread Diseases *Hospital and Surgical *Accident *Cancer *Health *Life *Car Clarence Jones Agency, Peru

the closing minutes. The big gun in the Hastings attack was Ken Peterson who, with a tremendous shooting display, ripped: 22 points through the cords in the second half and almost singlehandedly kept Hastings in contention.

Bob Mayo paced the Bobcats to victory as he pumped in 20 points.

Big Bruce Smith b_Qwed out of college play with a tremendous performance as he collected 19 big points and pulled down 19 important rebounds. It was fit·ting climax for the big Coin, Iowa, senior as he ended three years of competition for Jack McIntire's Peruvians.

Martha Washington Silver Tea Today Martha Washington's fruit cake recipe which includes, among other things, five pounds of flour, four pounds of sugar and 40 eggs, will be used by members of the Home Economics Club at Peru State College this week. The ingredients will be used in preparing the "Great Cake" to be served at the organization's ·annual Martha Washington Silver Tea Monday, February 23.

Copied in 1939 from the original recipe on display at Mount Vernon, the cake has been served , annually since that time at a silver tea. The recipe was secured by a group of Peru State home economics students who had accompanied Miss Edna Weare, who is now professor emeritus of home economics, to the East for a national home economics convocation.

The general public is invited . to the tea, which will be served from 2 to $ p.m. in the home ;economics wing of the T. J. Majors Campus School, according to Miss Kathryn Hughes, sophomore ;from Missouri Valley, Iowa, who is president of the club.

M'.ool'(;, ~r of the dramatic prese.ntatiqns on the campus, this year's spring play will be Thornton Wilder's "Our Town." The cast was selected on February 18 and will appear in the next issue of the Pedagogian. Play practice will begin this week.

The play is in three acts and little or no stage properties are to be used. In the first act the author outlines the history of the town, Govers' Corner, N. H., and something of the character of its citizens. Then he carries you into the houses of the Gibbs and Webb families, substantial homes containing substantial folks.

The second act concerns the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webband thus culminates in a moving wedding scene.

In the third act the audience is taken to the cemetery on the hill, where the townspeople have come to see the burial of the bride. The bride is a little wishful to return to life, to live again with her memories; realizing how futile it is to return, she resigns to her fate. The past cannot be relived. Living people, occupied with their petty occupations and small thoughts, know little joy or happiness. Truth is to be found in the future. helped train youth for better citizenship and service to the church. His last assignment was to the Mindanao Student Center in Kabacan.

They were "Teddy Bear Waltz," "Pin Wheels," and "Swarm of Bees."

Chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Larson, Mr. V. H. Jindra, and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Christ.

After meeting deadlines on ·the dot all year long, the Peruvian staff failed to make the last one by one day. This was the result of a numbftr of factors~burning out of a b 1lb in the enlarger, failure to g ~t a couple of pictures of organizaoions on time, a sponsor's attack of flu, etc.

This year's Peruvian should be back early ln May, and there will be a Peruvian night when the yearbooks will be distributed.

The staff feels that this book will be better than last year's.

Organization pictures will be better, thanks to MI'. J. D. Levitt and Mr. Don Carlile. These experienced photographers of professional qaliber took most of this year'§ org~ization pictures.

This book will be larger than last year's, which contained no events happening after mid February. S~ sports, May Fete, and! othtlf[events of last spring are in thlf year's book .

EDITOJllAL

By Lois Rowe Why don't more faculty members attend N.E.A.?

The local N.E.A. group met February 5 in the Campus School auditorium. The attendance at that meeting totaled twenty-eight. Thirteen of the people present were S.E.A.N. members who had been invited and most of whom had been asked to present a part of the program.

Of the fifteen N.E.A. members present, twelve had some function to perform as part of the program or on the refreshment committee.

Where were the other: 40 some odd members?

Wherever they were, they missed an interesting program as well as their chance to be represented at state meetings.

Mr. Russell reported on the state convention which he attended and at wh.ich he voted for state officers as directed by the 17 N.E.A. members who were present at the previous meeting.

Two very interbsting parts of the program were a humorous, though thought provoking, skit "Mad. Avenue Aids The School Crisis" directed by Dr. Hutcheson, and a re-enactment by members of S.E.A.N. of part of the dedication service for the new N.E.A. Headquarters Bui Id in g in Washington. · It seems dat the faculty members are missing the boat by not attendyig the N.E.A. meetings.

Tbe N.E.A., is a professional teacher's organization. Its purpose is to/benefit teachers. But how much benefit can one expect to get from an organization that he doesn't support by his attendance?

Pe'ntSportsman's Club

By Marjorie Clark Dr. Harold Hutcheson, president of the Peru Sportsman's Club, reports that at the present time the club has 128 members.

He hopes, however, that the membership will reach 250.

Twenty-one of these members are· affiliatecL with the college, ancL four of them are college students.

This club was organized in August, 1958. Its purposes are to promote recreational areas in the Peru vicinity and to sponsor all kinds of sports activities.

The building of a boat dock has been one of the major projects thus far. This boat dock is lOcated three miles straight north of the Girls' Dormitory. A ten year lease was acquired on ten acres of land fronting the Missouri River. There, ramps and floating docks are being built.

Next summer the club hopes to provide picnic areas, grassy lawns, and modern toilet facilities. The road has been improved to the boat dock, and it is hoped that it can be improved even more.

A trap house has been built.

Next summer there will be lights.

A lunch counter will be available where soft drinks, ice cream, and watermelon can be served.

This week a State Game Commissioner is coming to see Dr. Hutcheson to investigate the possibilities of starting a state lake which would be built on city land. The club hopes to get a 40-

acre lake and stock it with fish.

Another attempted project is the acquirement of quail eggs for hatching.

Houndi-dog trials have also been sponsored. About 100 people from different states brought their dogs. Prizes. were given and more will be given this spring and fall.

The organization is now engaged in sponsoring activities for the purpose of raising money.

Series of dances are being held at the Auburn Armory. They have proven to be quite successful. The club hopes to have about $1,500 by the end of the summer to spend on the recreational improvements. Their only source of income is from the dues, and these are $5 per person a year.

This summer the club plans to organize a junior league baseball team.

The success of the organization has been due to the fine work of the committees and their chairman. Ernie Longfellow is secretary; Jerry Stemper is chairman of the dance ·committee; Joe Stahley and Rex Allgood head the maintenance staff; J. D. Levitt is chairman of the Publicity Committee. All are highly commended by Dr. Hutcheson. Practically all the work d@e is voluntary work.

Eventually, the Sportsman Club hopes to take pride in the recreational facilities of Peru. These will consist of boating, swimming, fishing, water skiing, hunting, and horseback riding.

One cannot overlook, either, the work and time that Dr. Hut-

Be careful what you wear when you go down to the basement. It could be disastrous if you don't.

The reason for all of this preparation is that rooms are being prepared in the basement for eighteen girls. Of course, these rooms will not be ready for use until next fall.

Mary Ann Steinbrink, Janice Korber and Rosemary Grundmann gave Janie GrincHe a party for her birthday. They also dunked her in a tubful of col~ water.

Miss Bradley sent over two cakes for all of us on Febr. 11.

This was to show her appreciac tion for the electric skillet she received! as a Christmas gift from the girls in the dorm.

Mildred Miller invited her friends down to her room for cake and coke Febr. 12. This was in honor of her birthday.

Carol Kennedy was eighteen Febr. 13. She invited some of her friends to spend the evening at her home to help her celebrate th~ occasion.

There was a lot of activity in the·dorm the week-end of February 13 and 14. This was a result of almost everyone staying here for the games. There were also quite a few visitors staying here.

Margie Svoboda had Dorothy Hajek and Bobbie Schultz as her guests. Virginia Garton stayed with LaVerna Roos. Lee Christen entertained Glenda Woltemath and Marion Murphy. Lucille Happel stayed with Pauline Kish. Rosie Edelman stayed with Marlene Behrens, and Joyce Stewart visited Janie Grindle.

Sandi Tesdahl and Janet Schumer of Madrid, Iowa, spent the week-end here as guests of the college. We hope they liked our dorm.

By Pat Earl The rice-growing section of southwestern Louisiana is the scene for this ·Combined romance and murder mystery which takes place during the mid-1920's. The exotic setting, the author's calm, leisurely style, and the always luring boy-meets-girl theme assure "Victorine" the tremendous popularity that Frances Parkinson Keyes' novels always enjoy.

"Essays On Individuality" by Felix Morley, is a book on ideas on the indivicLual's relationship to society. It contains essays on such topics as individuality and modernity, the historian and the individual, and collectivism and individualism.

John P. Marquand focuses on a a New England setting andJ an introspective 1 ea ding character, who views his past with mingled happiness and regret, for his latest novel, "Women and Thomas Harrow."

Edward Streeter has a sharp eye for the minutiae of every day existence, andJ he has a cheerful prose style in which he records his obesrvations. This is· revealed in "Mr. Hobbs' Vacation," which is written from the point of view of a grandfather who gathers his family around him for five weeks of seaside relaxation.

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade Spring will arrive, despite set backs. On springlike February 6, Tommy Majors bounced into the registrar's office to show mother the spring lambs made of spools in 1st grade. The following week, 1st graders and other littl'uns were having a great time sliding down the icy walk to the gym, preferably on the seat of their clothes.

Basketball is king not only in college but in high school and junior high as well. The teams seem to alternate evenings going to one tournament or another, and fairly successfully, .too, which is a great joy after their miserable football season. Pep rallies even displaced the read• ing convo until February 25.

Everyone at our house, at least, is reading overtime to be able to report just one more book before the convo where recognition will be made of how many books each has read. High school will be combined with elementary for the affair (and I hope a great number of adults concerned! with hischoolers alone will show up).

The Junior play (tentatively set for March 10) is enjoying a fair amount of discussion among CS students. Seems one of the leading romantic characters is being played by a HS junior who prides himself on being, in every day life, a woman-hater-made the statement that even this will not change his views.

Amid much preliminary phoning, dates and transportation were arranged for the Valentine dance sponsored by the HS seniors (15c each or bargain at 25c per couple-promoting romance, you see). King and queen were popular senior "steadies" Judy Adams and Monty Allgood; junior attendants were Marcia Allgood and Marshall Adams; sophomore attendants were Sara Jane Adams and Paul Heuer; freshman attendants were Linda Morrissy and Tom Boatman.

A check with the nurse said measles is dying out, but the same day several elementary pu-

pils were sent home. Rumor has· it that even 5th grade supervisor Mrs. Moore is stricken, though with her as with others it may be a measly rash caused by allergy or sumpin. Substituting for Mrs. M. is Mrs. Ellis Adams (who incidentally has a chick in that room).

At PTA Tuesday evening, in partial observation of Founder's Day, honorary Nebraska Life Memberships were awarded to Miss Mary Clarke, 3rd grade supervisor, and Mrs. Ellis Adams, president of Peru PTA, for extensive work with children and in PTA. Dr. Vernon Hungate, Director of Special Education, State Department of Education, spoke on "Parents, Children and Mental Health." "One out of every 16 Americans has some type of mental disorder," he stated.

"There is no psychiatric penicillin. Public schools are available to all; they employ personnel who understand children. In teacher education one thing which might be done is to train teachers to recognize early signs in children leadin~ to maladjustment." There 27i fewer patients in mental insti!"utions this year due to work done at the Psychiatric Institute in Omaha where mild neurotics are referred by fam ysicians; at State Mental ital in Lincoln where seriously disturbed are committed by the courts; at Beatrice for severely mentally retarded; at Cozad for the trainable; at Child -Guidance Center in Lincoln. Nine opportunity centers are privately supported for the trainable. Some public schools provide special programs for the educable mentally handicapped, hard of hearing, homebound, orthopedically handicapped, partially sighted and speech handicapped. Dr. Hungate had no solution for mental illness. He merely stated: the situation as it now is and suggested one thing that might help.

Bobcat Victories Over Midland And Hastings Sew Up Title

February Banquet Honored Professor A. V. Larson Two hundred and one students, colleagues, and fellow citizens attended the banquet February 28 in the college dining room honoring Mr. A. V. Larson, retiring head of Practical Arts. Coming here in February, 1926, Mr. Larson has made an enviable reputation as an educator, and the banquet was held in recognition of his valuable work.

President Neal S. Gomon was master of ceremonies. Rev. Lawrence Williams of Peru's Christian church gave the invocation.

The male quartet, composed of Alan Kreglo, Ray Meister, Clark Maffitt, and Dick Sietsema, sang three numbers.

Then came the tributes to Mr. Larson. Mr. A. D. Majors, president of the State Normal Board, was first to speak. His tribute was followed by one from Mr. Donald Stanley of the P e r u Pointer, who spoke representing the community. Professor L. B. Mathews spoke for colleagues of Mr. Larson. Wayne McFarland spoke for Epsilon Pi Tau, and Carroll Johnson for the Industrial Arts Club.

Dr. Owen Harlan, new head of Practical Arts, lead group singing. Then came a roll call of former Practical Arts majors and minors.

Dee Jarvis, associate professor of Industrial Arts, presented Mr. Larson with bound \'olumes of testimonial letters.

Lester Russell, assistant professor of Industrial Arts, presented the numerous gifts, including a projector and screen to enable Mr. Larson to see the numerous pictures of events connected with his retirement. The major portion of the gifts was numerous tools, both machine and hand, to help Mr. Larson equip his home shop.

Larson Reminisces On His Thirty-three Years With P.S.T.C.

By Marjorie Clark "Peru is one of the friendliest communities I've ever known. It may be just a small town, but I feel that it can boast one of the finest colleges in the state. Both students and faculty members take pride in mentioning the fact that they have attended or instructed in its college. Though I was forced to discontinue my teaching duties after instructing here for thirty-two and a half years, I still find myself lonely for its classrooms. My wife and I have never regretted coming to Peru. It has been our home and the former home of our three children. Always Peru shall be a part of us."

These words were spoken by Mr. A. V. Larson, the former head of the Industrial Arts Department, who sen·ed Peru State Teachers for thirty-two and d half years before retiring last September.

Mr. Larson was born in Arapahoe, Nebraska. He received his high school education there. Following his graduation, he taught in a rural school in that vicinity.

He completed his degree for Mechanical Engineering at th~ University of Nebraska in 191'!.

He also attended the l:nin:r~.it.y of Chicago. He reccin:d his Master of Arts Degree from the University of Minnesota.

In 1917 he married Wilhelmina Herold. They have three children, Helen, Leonore, and Frank.

All three of them are married now, and Mr. and Mrs. Larson (Continued on page two)

Down Hastings 71-57 Saturday night, with a chance for sole possession of the conference title riding squarely on the line, the high riding Bobcats flurried in the third quarter to put the game on ice, then went on to defeat Hastings College 71 to 57 and nail down the championship. It was just 365 days ago that Peru jumped into a third of the 1958 conference title by defeating the same Hastings quintet on the Bobcat court.

In the title clincher, the two teams fought on even terms for the first 7:40 of the game until three field goals by Jack Johnson, and single fielders by Mayo and Appleget, while Hastings was scoreless, propelled the 'Cats into a 19 to 9 lead. By halftime, Hastings had whittled the Peru lead to 6 points.

A special convocation in honor of Mr. A. V. Larson was held Friday, February 27 at 1:50 p.m. in the College Auditorium.

Dr. William E. Warner, Executive Secretary of Epsilon Pi Tau, spoke on "Frontiers in Industrial Arts Education." He told of progress in industrial arts, of the development of Epsilon Pi Tau, and of the challenge of the future.

Dr. Warner mentioned that the Peru chapter of Epsilon Pi Tau, founded in 1932, was the seventh chapter to be organized.

Following the convocation, a tree which will be known as the "Larson Tree" was planted on campus.

By Bob Henry Two important week-end victories over Midland and Hastings Colleges closed out the Peru State Bobcats regular season play and garnered for them the highly coveted Nebraska College Conference crown. The two victories were enough to keep them one full game ahead of runner-up Nebraska Wesleyan as the NCC season ground to its close. A loss for Peru in either one of these tilts would have meant that the Bobcats would have had to share the title with Wesleyan, which finished )11€ season with double victories' over\Chadron State.

Peru posted a 15 and 3 conference record winning its second straight championship. In 1958, Peru cl~£ a three way tie with H'tjings and Chadron.

Dr. William Warner, head of industrial education at Ohio Sfate University and founder and executive secretary of Epsilon Pi Tau, Peru's President Gomon, Mr. A. V. Larson, and Dr. Owen Harlan, head of Practical Arts Division, Peru, are shown at the tree planting which followed a convocation sponsored by Epsilon Pi Tau and the Industrial Arts Club in honor of Mr. Larson on the afternoon of February 27.

The pin oak tree will be known as the A. V. Larson Oak in honor of the man who served Peru faithfully and extremely well from February 1926 until his recent retirement.

Following the rest p e r i o d, Hastings came roaring back to knot the score at 31 all with 4:40 played in the third quarter. Mayo retaliated with a fielder and a free throw; and Appleget, playing his finest game of the year, rammed in five points while Hastings was being limited to .a lone fielder by Ken Peterson.

There are some girls on third floor who have a new idea. They have developed "secret knocks."

This is so they can tell "friend from foe."

TALENT! That seems to be the keyword for quite a few of the girls in the dorm. The reason for this is that a representative from the Auburn Junior Chamber of Commerce has been talking to the girls about the Miss Auburn Pageant that will be held in about a month.

Plainsmen ·Drop Bobcats In Lincoln Finale of NAIA Lincoln Star, March 4

By Paul LeBar Nebraska Wesleyan's fighting Plainsmen defensed Nebraska College Conference champion Peru State off its feet in the second half of play at Pershing Auditorium Tuesday night while annexing their first District XI NAIA title since 1955.

Final score in the hectic contest was 76-66. All tension was removed after Wesleyan moved 8 points ahead with 1:30 to go.

Before that, Peru Coach Jack Mcintire had elected to remove his ace, 6-8 Bob Mayo, from the rough fight with 6 minutes to go.

This followed semi-stall tactics installed by Wesleyan, which was nursing an 8-point lead.

The Bobcats sacrificed height. rebounding and scoring punch for speed. While dimiutive John Okerlin and Mike Roach effected several steals. the team was never able to regain iis poise of the early minutes.

Peru's last serious threat was at 60-64 with just under two minutes to go.

Lew Sheary promptly removed pressure with a duo of gift tosses, and Wesleyan slowly moved away.

a 29-27 margin with 1:40 left, but Wesleyan thereupon ran six straight points as the p er i o d ended.

Peru charged back for a 34-33 lead as the second half opened, then dipped behind for good.

The Bobcats did manage a 3535 tie before going under.

Stoehr, alternately under the surveillance of Jon Appleget and Chuck Francis, still managed to gather 23 points for the evening.

Eberspacher, power under the boards, canned 13-for-18 at the line and finished with 21.

The top-scoring duo's chief assistance came from hatchet men Sheary and Dick Evenson, with 13 and 22 points respectively.

Mayo Is Tough Though in a losing effort, Peru's Mayo enjoyed the hottest night from the field. The big pivot warded off all defensive efforts from the shorter Weslevanites and potted 10 fielders ~d 27 points.

The Peru victory, coupled! with Nebraska Wesleyan's eligibility problem and Hastings' victory over Wesleyan Saturday night, should put the Bobcats into undisputed first place in the Nebraska Conference. Of course, there is still some question about Wesleyan's eligibility trouble, but if the stipulations of the conference's constitution are interpreted as they read, there is really no questfon that Wesleyan will have to forfeit their earlier game with Concordia.

By 78-69 From Lincoln Star Peru State's freshman-sophomore team caught the University of Nebraska freshman in the final 6 minutes of play and used the free throw line for a 78-69 victory Monday night in a preliminary to the Nebraska-Colorado game.

Mike Roach, Peru sophomore who transferred from Nebrarska where he played freshman ball a year ago, triggered the Bobcats with 30 points.

Roach gave Peru a 56-55 lead with 6:57 to go on a pair of free throws, but Ivan Grupe put NU ahead again 57-56 with a fielder.

Their reactions were discussed. A panel consisting of Miss Bradley, Dr. Wininger, and Mr. Johnson were called upon to give their opinions.

Three candidates were nominated for Peru's candidate for State SEAN president. These candidates are Wayne McFarland, Linda Moore, and Jerry Paden. A campaign is being carried on to get Peru's candidate into -0ffice. The State Convention will meet April 4th. Peru's representatives plan to attend this meeting. ,

Mrs. Sproul's Birthday Party Mrs. Sproul was pleasantly surprised February 19, the evening preceding her birthday, wqen Mrs. Kregel and twentyseven home economics girls gathered at her home to help her celebrate. The guest of honor was presented with a train case.

After an hour of visiting and taking pictures, the guests were served refreshments.

Campus School Commentary

Campus S'chool Convocation Awards

By Mary Anna Gnade The bugs that cause school absences must be particularly persevering this winter. The pneumonia bug has Gayle Hutcheson laid low since before Christmas and Bruce Eddy for the past two weeks. Of course the bug strikes others intermittently in real or sympathetic attacks. At home every time an ache is discovered the suffering one hopefully pipes up "I know I'm g et t i n g the measles!"

The cherished excuse from school is for a basketball game.

When the last game is played, classes are going to fall into a dull old rut.

Of course an unexpected fire drill relieves routine, especially when it comes just as all the boys are in process of changing from gym clothes to street clothes.

HW Johnson tells me he saw a couple of boys after the drill and one said, "I had ONE shoe on!"

'Twas that exceedingly nice warm day so degree of undress didn't matter.

Have moonlight and roses gone out of fashion? Understand one HS senior gave his girl her diamond by casually tossing it to her in Modern Problems class.

After all, maybe that's an appropriate place!

The annual FHA motherdaughter banquet gave the girls a chance to dress up a little.

These future homemakers have an impressive installation of officers ceremony in which officers going out of office present the officers elect. It's a charming sidelight that the senior members must clean up after the banquet.

At a purely female function it takes a lot of bravery on the part of any male to even stick his nose in the door. Just look at the bravery .displayed on the part of Mr. Masek and Steve Parker who attended the affair-Mr. M. as. honorary member and Steve as accompanist for the singer.

Coming up is the test for advanced students in the National Mathematics Contest-of 15 contestants there are only two girls.

More rehearsals for April music contest, ditto for speech and dramatics contest. Band clinic next Saturday brings a crowd of "perhaps" future Peru Staters to the campus. And by all m e a n s, DON'T FORGET the HS Junior Play March 10! (Remember, this is the one our proclaimed woman-hater romances three-count 'em-~hree galS!) And a hurried word about Campus School Open House and Fun Night March 17 when the high schoolers will help with cake walks, fish pond, beauty shop, Scotch auction-bet this

A special convocation program was held Wednesday afternoon, February 18, for the purpose of presenting awards to both the elementary and high school students of the Campus School.

Mr. Eddy presented the reading awards to those students who earned them in the elementary grades; Mrs. Gergen did likewise for those in the high school. Dr. Hutcheson handed out the life membership awards. The students who received this particular award have read twenty-five books since the beginning of the 1958 school term.

Mr. Masek presented the "A" pin awards to the high school pupils who have shown superior achievement in the first semester's work. In order to be eligible for this award, students had to have at least three "A's" and no grades below "B." The honorees were: Sandra Craig, Harlene Palmer, Sara Adams, David Go. mon, Paul Holdorf, Jerry Sayer, Leland Schneider, Pamela Van Pelt, and Alfred Wheeler. . The Campus jl~ho,£1 takes pride m the fact that so 'Many of its students have participated in the new reading program. This reading program has been a special project in t · mpus School this year.

Martha Washington Tea The Martha Washington Silver Tea was held Tuesday, February 24, 1959, from 3-5 p.m. in the Campus School. The first annual Martha Washington Silver Tea sponsored by the Home Economics Club was held in 1941.

The four-tiered fruit cake, made from a recipe calle<i the great cake, centered the serving table. Under the direction of Nancy Madsen, the cake was decorated to resemble M art ha Washington. A story book doll was placed in the top of the cake and the tiers of the cake formed the skirt of her gown. Yellow, lavender, and white were the selected color schemes, emphasized by a bouquet of yellow jonquils.

The tea, one of outstanding projects of the Home Economics Club, was enjoyed by faculty, friends of the college, and stu-, dents. catches a goodly portion of student teachers.

Mayo Makes NCC All-Star Tearn Bob Mayo, from Brooklyn, New York was chosen on the NCC All Star Team by seven of the eight coaches who sent their selections.

Bob was referred to as a rugged rebounder with a deadly eye. Bob had a good shooting average for the season, making over 50 per cent of his field goals and 70 per cent of his free throws. His accurate shooting gave him 381 points in the conference, and helped Peru to the Conference Championship.

Equally important to Peru's Conference Championship h a s been the combined team-play of Appleget, Francis, and Johnson.

All three were given honorable mention to the All Star Team of the Omaha World-Herald. No other team in the Conference can boast that four players were either listed on the NCC All-Star Team or given hon or ab 1e mention.

Rounding out the NCC All Stars Team, were Rudy Stoehr of Wesleyan, Gary Schmidt of Kearney, Mort Fuller of Hastings, and Bob Moore of Wayne.

SEAN Sponsors St. Pat's Dance Thursday, March 12, the SEAN St. Patrick's Dance was held in the college gymnasium.

Bobby Layne's band from Lincoln provided music for the evening. Punch was served during the dance. The gym was decorated in a St. Patrick's theme. Green and white streamers hung on each side of the gym and green shamrocks were attached to the streamers.

During intermission, Bob Bohlken announced the outstanding college teacher of the year. This teacher was elected by . SEAN members for his outstanding service in education. Mr. Brady was awarded this honor and was given an engraved oil can to keep the wheels of education turning.

Dean Melvin announced the King and Queen of future teachers. They were nominated from SEAN by the faculty and voted upon by the members of SEAN. The King and Queen were Bob Bohlken and Marlene Behrens.

The other nominees were Marilyn Benecke, Jo Ellen McNergney, Jean Ruyle, and Ruth Linscheid for Queen; and Gar Y Adams, Jon Appleget, Ken Majars, Fred Koerwitz, and Lonnie Weidenhaft for King.

Short Story Contest Open to Freshmen

"I want to thank SEAN for the honor bestowed upon me, and I shall sincerely try to be worthy.

I was very humble, grateful, and honored," were the comments made by Albert 0. Brady, assistant professor of biological science, upon receiving the honor of being named Peru State College Teacher of the Year.

Mr. Brady attended high school in Kimball, South Dakota. He then went on to college. He attended Beetle State Teachers College, Madison, South Dakota, and then received his B. S. degree from Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota. He received his M. A. from University of South Dakota, at Vermillion, South Dakota. He has done some graduate study at the University of Minnesota and the University of Southern California.

It is easy to see how Mr. Brady became interested in the teaching field. His father taught for 51 years in the elementary schools in Kimball, South Dakota. He, also, has a sister who has taught and two brothers who are still in the teaching field. His wife has also done some teaching.

Mr. Brady taught four years in a rural school near Kimball, South Dakota, three years at Mount Vernon, South Dakota, five years at Madison, South Dakota, and this is his second year here at Peru.

When asked how he liked teaching and teaching at Peru, Mr. Brady replied, "I like teaching very much. I have never been so contented and happy as I have been here at Peru. Both the students and faculty members have been wonderful to me."

The Bradys have two children.

The story is a sort of saga, disconnected and episodic, of one Harry Morgan, burly surly hard. natured 'conch' (as Key West natives call themselves) whose life has been spent in the single-minded eff0 rt to keep himself and his family at least on the upper fringes of the 'have nots.'

The King of Future Teachers is a senior. Bob is majoring in social science and minoring in speech and English. He is active in Dramatics Club, Blue Devils, Vets' Club, Newman Club, Kappa Delta Pi, Phi Alpha Theta, senior student senate representative, and is president of S.E.A.N. He was a 1958-59 selection to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. their families and friends, and the world in which they move. It concerns not only the day by day existence, but the moral problems ' which coufront all scientists and all men. A moving love story is woven into the pattern.

The scene of the novel, "My Cousin Rachel," by Daphne Du Maurier is Cornwall and Italy, and the time is around the eighteenth century. The narrator is Phillip Ashley, who had lived happily with his uncle on the family estate in Cornwall, until his uncle's ill health causes him to take a trip to Italy. There Ambrose met and married a distant cousin, Rachel, and not long after he died. Phillip receives Rachel in Cornwall, falls under the influence of her charm, and seeks an unconventional way out when he thinks she may have poisoned his beloved uncle.

Now that spring is officially here, the residents of Delzell have found a new scapegoat for relaxed academic endeavors. Even the dorm basks lazily in the morning sun, awaiting the warming rays which will erase the _chills left from winter's blasts.

Old Man Winter was especially active the past two weeks. His liist two escapades left many visitors and students stranded on campus. Mrs. Paradise, Dr. Harlan, and Ray Parde seized advantage of the weather situation March 5th and instigated a Snowbound Dance. The second onslaught of wintry weather hit during the Band Clinic. Delzell housed many of the stranded musicians.

Bob Mayo has now joined the ranks of the not-so-free-no-more.

Bob did escape the cold bath afforded all newly-engaged residents, however. There just isn't an easy method of dunking a 6'8" lad in a wee bitty bathtub!

St. Patrick's Day was not too successful in this fair abode, either. Residents complained that the wearin' of the green clashed with the blue pallor left by the flu bug.

Hooray for spring! Soon the miseries of winter will be forgotten and Nebraska will seem almost nice again. Spring-that wonderful season when the boys tu~;n a little greener and the gals blossom out. There are better days ahead!

Murmurs From Morgan

By Rosie Rottman There has been a lot of activity in the dorm for the past week or so. On March 14 eight high school girls spent the night in the dorm.

They were here because ot the Music Clinic, and because of the bad weather, they could not get home that evening. They all seemed to enjoy staying-especially when the electricity went ofl'.

The girls who participated in the volley ball tournament spent quite a lot of their free time at the dorm. The main activity spots were the basement rooms and the recreation room.

Margaret Lewis and Bob Mayo became engaged on March 10. A May wedding is planned. Margaret hasn't been thrown in the tub yet, but she should be expecting it.

The flu has taken quite a t~ll on the girls in the dorm. There are several girls who are in isolation in the guest rooms on first flom:; others who are ill, but are staying in the dorm; and a still larger number who have been sent home to get well.

Brenda Spaulding had an extra cold bath last Tuesday night.

The reason for this is that she is now "going steady" with Hank Hinricks.

Carol Roddy left March 19 to spend the week-end in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She should have an exciting time.

Ruth· Carmichael is now back in school after having an appendectomy. It is Sherrill Tarring's turn now. She went home on March 17 and is going to have the operation on March 18.

Nancy and Janie Kunkel are going to ~eave for Texas on March 19. This should give Nancy a perfect opportunity to we.ar her cowboy boots. All the girls had to say about going was "Hurrah." Seems as if they are getting tired of school.

By Lois Rowe Such was the case at the Sigma Tau Delta meeting March 9. Dr. and Mrs. Petrie had invited the club to hold the meeting at their home, but one guest came uninvited.

Members of Sigma Tau Delta were sorry that Dr. Petrie could not attend the meeting, although it was held at his home, and they wish to thank both Dr. and Mrs. Petrie for inviting them to hold their meeting there. '

Dramatics Club Spring Production Is "OurtTown"

By Joan Schneider "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder is this year's· spring play. It is under the direction of R. D. Moore, and is produced by the Peru Dramatics Club.

"Our Town" is the story of a typical, small, New England town and the people who live there.

The scenes are set and the story is told by the stage manager, (Tom Higgins).

In the first scene, the stage manager outlines the history of the town and something of the character of its people. The audience meets the town's doctor and his wife as portrayed by Dick Rottman and Rose Clancy. The romance b e t w e e n their son George, as played by Ron teiichuck, and Emily (Sue Moore), daughter of the town's editor and his wife (Bob Mayo and Maxine

Moore), culminates in a moving love scene which has elements of poignant sorrow and abundant happiness.

The final scene is nine years later in the cemetery on the hill where the townspeople have come to the burial of Emily, the lovely bride of just nine years ago.

There is a crowd of townspeople as played by: Allen Nelson, John Parli, Carolyn Wing, John Okerlin, Glen Erwin, Joan Weslowski, Ray Pardi, Betty Sedlacek, Steve Rose, Helen Warford, Ray Meister, Larry Carre, Duane Lewis, Allen Wheeler, Dick Merwin, Bob Bohlken, Roger Killian, Susan Snyder, Harold Schmit, Karen Fankhauser, Frank Portrey, Carol Stivers, Linda Bertram, Marlene Pyle, Margaret Svoboda, Margaret Lewis, Lee Christian, and Raymond Parde.

After the commotion of students leaving had died out, there r,emained one girl from Auburn, five students from Virginia, ten students and the director from Falls City.

Mr. Schneider, Falls City director, chose to remain here rather than start out with some of his group, leaving the others here alone.

Because the long distance telephone circuits were out, none of them were able to get any messages to their parents.

To add to the confusion, the electricity was off for about a half hour. Finally, though, each of the girls was assigned a room with a girl whose roommate had gone home, and the boys were taken to Delzell Hall, where they spent the night.

Sunday morning, the snowbound visitors were happy to start for home. years his compositions have been played extensively by high school bands throughout the United States.

New Instructor In Industrial Arts Department Nick Stelzer, a 1958 graduate of Peru State Teachers College, has accepted a teaching position in the Industrial Arts Department for the second semester.

He supervises two sections in woodworking and one section in shop maintenance for the college.

In addition to this, he has charge

of two classes in shop for the seventh and eighth grades at the Campus School.

Mr. Stelzer completed six months of national duty with the National Guard before coming here. His home town is Beatrice,

school students and all new college students.

Mrs. Boatman is a registered nurse. In 1923 she was graduated from Lutheran Hospital in Beatrice. She took a six-month course in pediatrics at Barnes Hospital at St. Louis. In 1949 she completed a school nu rs in g course at the University of Minnesota, and did five years of school nursing at Tecumseh before coming here. She was head nurse at a hospital in California for two years, has done private nursing, and served as operating supervisor in one hospital. As we can see from the long list of study and experience that Mrs. Boatman has received, we have a very qualified nurse.

Mrs. Boatman is the mother of two sons. Her oldest son, Jim, graduated from PSTC in 1958 and is now teaching science in Stanton, Iowa. Her youngest son, Tom, is in the ninth grade and is very active in sports.

Sponsor's Note: If you aren't feeling well,. see Mrs. Boatman.

She might be able to save your life. About a year ago, Mrs. Linscheid had a severe reaction to a penicillin shot. Ruth noticed her mother was in a coma, so she called Mrs. Boatman, who came immediately.· After one look, Mrs. Boatman called the college doctor, who also started immediately from Auburn. By the time the ambulance arrived the patient's blood pre s s u re had dropped to 20. Prompt service by Mrs. Boatman and Dr. Thompson saved Mrs. Linscheid's life, and the Linscheid family is deeply grateful to both of them.

Grade School FIRST GRADE NEWS Miss Mary Jo Scharp, first grade student teacher, went home with the flu last week. Many of our boys and girls have been absent because of flu or measles.

There is a nice rock collection in the first grade. Thomas Majors has a very nice collection, and he knows a lot about rocks so he helps name the rocks.

Vicki Hoskins shared her Easter lamb cake with the first grade for milk lunch. It was very good.

"Tommy Little" was a good book all about a boy who went to live in the city where his father ran a toy shop. The First Grade Toy Store has been fun to play in.

FOURTH GRADE NEWS The fourth grade class has been busily engaged in the study of Eskimo life. They presented this culminating activity to the Methods Class on Tuesday, March 10.

On March 11, the class presented to their mothers, the study of primitive and Eskimo life in touch with civilization. The room was transformed into a travel bureau. Billy Allgood and Pamela Morrissy acted as trave.lers who sought certain information.

A feature of the· program was the play-radio broadcast of the fourth grade Eskimo songs. These songs were recorded on tape by Mr. Manring.

"O On

By Mary Anna Gnade So you counted 'em, too-the girls John kissed in the junior play. To validate advance publicity, he kissed the third girl backstage! 'Twas a cute play, wasn't it? (PS-iJohn still maintains he's agin girls.)

"They" say Haney had measles but still was on stage for his part.

Next few days absence reports from HS showed quite a few missing from the junior class.

Measles or let-down?

This junior class has the CS high pressure salesmen: first tickets for the pJa,.y, then tickets for the All-Sptlrts \8 an q u et March 21. It just isn't safe (for your pocketbook) to walk into a cluster of HS juniors!

To wind up a od basketball season, Coach · rte and volunteers drove , basketball boys to Lincoln for state tournament.

In fact "what happened in the blizzard" was a favorite topic Of conversation 1!t the PTA open house-fun night Tuesday. Dr. Hutcheson did have a chance to introduce the PTA scholarship winners.

For FUN, Frieda Rowoldt's fortunes were a large hit and the "beauty" parlor did a thriving business judging from small faces topped by beauteous hats.

And the cake-walk! Mr. .Moore bought a 1955 calendar plate at Scotch-auction, then cake-walked a cake to put on it. But Mr. Jindra is the unluckiest man-he was playing symphony in Lincoln so some of his junior violinists sat in for him. Just like last year, no cake! Bill and Bob Lowrey won so many cakes, their mother was embarrassed, but that's the way the cake walks.

And they said Mr. Brady made a loud auctioneer.

The highschoolers could have run the thing themselves-you never saw such willing, competent workers! And they had FUN. Successful? Close to $100 and a limited crowd (volley ball and illness) at that!

And then we have volley ball: in spite of (or because of?) having some CS faculty members for referees, our Prep girls lost their game. A visiting rival coach remarked, "They were playing a good game when I saw them."

Now, lessee, Friday is speech and one-act play contests and next Wednesday the Interscholastic Contest. You can depend on it, our Prep kids will be in there trying!

Modern Dance Is Popular Course · · For Women Only

By Jeannine Ehlers Modern d a n c e , sometimes called contemporary, creative, or free and vigorous dance, is an outcome of our present age. It is about 30 years old.

From the February issue of the "Dance Magazine'', Gene Kelly says, "The <lance's real function should be to say something. Today in America, there is a distinctive style and feel for the dance. Modern dance combines athletic movement, the 'Jroken lines of modern dancing, and the long line of the classic ballet with the capacity for dramatic characterization. Modern dance is a synthesis of old form and new rhythm~ a free-wheeling mix-

Donna Francis comments that she thinks the class is very interesting, . a lot of fun, and a new task to conquer.

Mrs. Wheeler says it is a pleasure to see the twenty-six girls dressed in black leotards. The class is busy with warm-ups to prepare .the body for more strenuous work, to develop balance, co-ordination, flexibility, and strength, and with fundamental techniques to develop a vocabulary of movment.

There's so much interest in the modern dance course that the athletic department could make money by charging admission to spectators. Could it be the black leotards?

Dramatics Club Gave Great Performance of Wilder's ~~our Town"

By Joan Schneider "Tremendous," "Best I've seen . in years," "It reminds me of my . home town"-these are just a few ()f the comments I heard after the Peru Dramatics Club presentation of Thornton Wilder's broadway hit "Our Town" on April 20.

Tom Higgins gave a tremen. dous performance of an old philosophical townsman as he told the story of "Our Town." In the t act, he outlined the history of Grovers Corner, N. H., and something of the character of its citizens. Then he carried the audience to the homes of the town's doctor and wife Gibbs (Dick Rottman and Rose Clancy) and the Webbs, town's editor and wife (Bob Mayo and Maxine Moore) to spend a typical day with these two families.

The second act elated the love affair between young George Gibbs (Ron Leitschuck) and Emily Webb (Sue Moore) and thus culminates in a moving wedding scene.

The third act took place nine years after the wedding. In this scene the audience was taken to the cemetery on the hill, where the townspeople came to see the burial of the young bride, Emily.

The moving performance of Emily as portrayed by Miss Moore brought tears to the eyes of the many viewers as she dra. matized Emily's wish to return to life, to live again with her .memories, only to realize how futile it is to return. Finally she resigns to her fate and enters the grave.

In three acts, the audience experienced every day life, love, marriage, and death.

Townspeople in the cast were: Allen Nelson, John Parli, Carolyn Wing, Jim Christ, Glen Irwin, Joan Wesolowski, Ray Parde, Betty Sedlacek, Steve Rose, Helen Warford, Ray Meister, Larry Carre, Al Wheeler, Duane Lewis, Jack Johnson, Bob Bohlken, Roger Killion, Susan Schneider, Karen Fankhauser, Harold Schmitz, Frank Portrey, Joan Riggle, Carroll Johnson, Carol Stivers, Kathy Hughes, Marie

Larson Announces 127 Courses For the Summer Session A total of 127 courses will be open to graduate and undergraduate students in the 1959 summer session at Peru State Teachers College, according to F. H. Larson, registrar. The regular eight-week session, during which nine hours of college credit may be earned, will open June 8 and close July 31.

Offerings will include not only those of interest to the in-~rvice teacher, but also to home makers and business people. With the 1959 session, Peru State will inaugurate a special "talented" student program for high school students between the junior and senior years.

Under the program, students will be permitted to enroll for three beginriing college courses after successful completion of entrance tests and upon recommendation of their school officials. The college credit earned during the summer may be applied to future college work at Peru State or may be transferred to other colleges upon graduation from high school.

The popular two-week post session will open August 1 and continue through August 15. During the session, three hours of college credit may be earned.

The post session offerings will include: Kindergarten Education, Audio-Visual Materials, Workshop in Elementary Education. and Driver Education Workshop.

According to advance registra-

tion activity, the regular eightweek session enrollment should exceed the 438 in 1958, Larson said.

Persons planning to enroll for post session courses should do so on June 8, the opening of the regular session. Enrollment in post session classes will be limited, Larson said.

Special congratulations go to Professor R. D. Moore, director, for a warm and thought-provoking preesntation of "Our Town."

Murmurs From Morgan

By Rosie Rottman Open House was a great success. Everyone had cleaned his room from top to bottom and, for a change, everything was in its place.

Carolyn Parli and Patsy Melcher's birthdays were both on April 21. Carolyn lives on first floor, and it is up to the girl whose birthday it is to furnish the cake. Carolyn did this and invited about twelve girls to the party. Things happened differently in Patsy's case. She received her birthday present-a carfrom her parents about three days early. Then on the 21st, her parents came down to Peru to bring her a birthday cake. I gu~ss

Jeannine Ehlers gave a birthday party for her roommate, Pat Earl. It wasn't the same kind as Pat gave Jeannine.

Some girls like to do things differently. A few nights ago there were two girls sitting out in the hall on second floor. When someone would ask them what they were doing, the answer was something like this. "We just cleaned our room for Open House, and we don't want to take any chances on getting it dirty again." Perhaps more girls should try this. They wouldn't have to clean so often if they did.

Kathy Rhoten, Carolyn Kratochvil, and Margret Murphy gave Pat Rathe a birthday party about a week ago. It must have been quite enjoyable because the singing was heard all over second floor.

Campus School Makes High Score In Reading Program Peru Campus School pupils have made amazing progress in reading during this school term, acording to principal, B. A. Eddy.

A panel of parents, teachers and pupils evaluated the Campus School experimental reading program at a meeting of the ParentTeachers Association held at the Campus School Tuesday evening.

The reading program has attempted to get the average reading level of each class as far above normal as possible and to encourage more and better reading at all levels. The program has been a three-fold one: basic reading has been stressed in all elementary grades; a remedial reading program has been conducted for junior high· and senior high school students; and a library club has been formed ,to encourage wide reading by all the pupils.

In evaluating the results of the program which has been in progress six months, Mr. Eddy reported that 2,635 books have been read. In the junior high school remedial reading program the reading ability of the pupils was raised from the 35th percentile to the 60th percentile.

Harold Johnson, director of testing, pointed out that the average pupil in the elementary school reads at about one full gtade level above the national norms.

The average reading level of the first grade pupils is up to beginning second grade standard.

The highest first grade pupil is reading at the fourth grade level.

One second grade pupil is reading at the level of the average fourth grade pupil at mid-year.

One third grader is reading at the sixth grade level; the average of the third grade is 4.7. The highest fourth grade pupil is 7.4; the average, 4.8. One fifth grade pupil reads at the ninth grade level.

The average fifth grader reads one year above normal. The best sixth grade reader reads· at the tenth grade level. The average rt!ading level in the sixth grade is 7.4.

Mrs. Genevieve Gergen, who has been in charge of the senior high school reading program, pointed out that every h i g h school student has read at least two books this yt!ar. Miss Rae Ann Gnade has completed reading 70 books this year.

Campus School director, Harold Hutcheson, urged that the program be continued next year with emphasis on speed of reading, in addition to continued

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade The entire campus school was permitted to attend the puppet show convo. Wouldn't you know Jimmy Christ was just fascinated with the mechanics of the thing?

In fact, weren't we all!

Another cute trick that is catching this "ever-hungry" age group is the sharing of ex-lax stuffed candy bars!

Mrs. Kregel took the girls in home economics in grades 7 to 12 to Auburn for a table setting competition. Our Sandra Craig won a china tablt! service for four and several 9th grade girls received place settings. My 7th grader said "It was just beeyoutiful!"

This year Mr. Eddy takes 8th graders to Omaha-a getting-outof-the-rut maneuver if I ever saw one since he has ALWAYS strt!ss on comprehension and vocabulary improvement.

taken 7th graders to Lincoln. So it only follows that Mr. Sheely goes to Lincoln this time.

Mrs. Christ's 6th gradt!rs will go to Nebraskct City.

The seniors have enough money saved to go by bus to Kansas City (with Mr. Masek, of course, poor mart). Fourth grade formal tea comes up "very soon," and since the PTA is not sponsoring an end-of-school picnic tht!re will probably be last day individual room parties. (I find these teachers live up to what is expected of them by their pupils in thest! social matters.)

Ii/ always tugs at the heart to bid a Wt!ll-loved teacher farewell.

My sophomore Bob had Miss Wonderly first, then 8th grader Steve, then 7th grader Jeannie I didn't really take Miss W. seriously that year when she hinted she might not stay on. So 4th grader Sally became one of Miss Wonderly's children. At the end of that year Miss W. said she had taught 40 years and she would like some time to travel. I was overjoyed ~hen she changed her' mind so my 3rd grader Jimmy could come under her spell. Then she stayed on for the benefit of this year's crop of 2nd graders. , Now ill-health has forced her to give up "her children" before the year is out. She says "it was only fair to the substitute teacher and the children, but they won't be MY children any longer." Not only I but everyone who has had

New. History Courses

EDITORIAL Because of lack of space, it is sometimes necessary to omit some of the articles turned in to the staff. An attempt is made however, to select the articles of mai,]or importanc~.

The staff appreciates the contributions given them, fo~ it would be an impossibility to record the news accurately without this help. . .

Perhaps in future years we can h~ve a big ~n~ugh p~p~r that the following can be our motto: 'If you didn t see it m the 'Ped,' it didn't happen:" In the meantime, we'll do our darndest with the space at hand.

-Joan Schneider.

The 1959-60 general c o 11 e g e ' bulletin shows that there will be two new history courses offered which trace christianity from its beginning to modern times.

The first semester course gives the historical origins of the Christian Church and its development through the Middle Ages, with emphasis on the foundation of Christian institutions and doctrines in history and on the role of the church in the creation of Western civilization.

The follow-up c;urse offered during the second semester gives the historical development of the Christian Churches since the end of the MidcHe Ages, with emphaing school year. There will be a sis on the formation of Christian student union fee, and a raise in institutions and doctrines in hisboard and room rates; but there tory and the roles of the church will be no change in the tuition in the development of the modrate. ern world.

Gomon and Wheeler Preside at May 13 Convo Dr. Neal S. Gomon and Coach Al Wheeler presided at the last convocation of the year on May 13, 1959.

In behalf of Sigma Tau Delta, Margaret Svoboda presented a book of short stories to freshman John Parli. John was presented the book for writing a winning short story. His story was chosen from stories submitted by members of the freshman class for the writing contest.

Coach Wheeler named the football lettermen and members of the track, tennis, and baseball teams.

He awarded gold basketballs to Coaches Mcintire and Stemper, and the basketball lettermen.

Team members receiving these were: Jon Appleget, Chuck Francis, Jack Johnson, John Okerlin, Bob Mayo, Mike Roach, Roger Witt, Chick Stessman, Jim Poage, and Robert Gibson. The gold basketballs were awarded in place of regular letters because the team won the Nebraska College Conference basketball championship.

Dr. Gomon talked for a few minutes on the subject of "staying in condition academically."

He said we should face our academic deficiencies and remove them as soon as possible. He also stressed the matter of communication as being very important.

Dr. Gomon gave a progress report on the consrtruction plans of the new buildings. The final approval has been given by the State Normal Board for the new dorms and student union. Construction is scheduled to begin about mid-July or August of 1959 on the boys' dorm and the west wing of Morgan Hall. These are expected to be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1960.

The second phase of the construction· program, as stated by Dr. Gomon, will be the student union and the south wing of Morgan Hall. He said it is hoped that this phase will be completed by the second semester of 1961.

Dr. Gomon also discussed briefly the fees and increases in rates that will be charged for the com-

By Rosie Rottman Claudette Stumbo had a new experience several days ago. She decorated for her own surprise shower. She thought the shower was for Marcia Hinton, but when the time arrived, the shower was for both of them. This was quite a coincidence that it was a "double" shower. The girls gave Claudette a dunking to end the shower. The girls received many nice gifts for their future homes. Marcia will be getting married on May 31, and Claudette will be married on June 21.

Scherrill Whitlock gave Joan Votroubek a party for her 19th birthday. Girls from first and second floor were present.

Last Sunday night seemed to be "shower" night. Some of the second floor girls were dousing anyone they could catch. They said they were just having fun.

A dorm party was held on May 6. At this time new officers were elected for the coming school year. Officers are: Linda Moore, president; Joan Weslowski, vice president; and Marilyn Monroe, secretary.

Linda Moore and Alice Phillips were in charge of the party. They presented "gifts" of all kinds to many lucky girls. Miss Bradley and Mrs. Fulton were also presented with nov,el gifts. Besides these gifts, they were both given corsages for Mother's Day from all of their "129 girls."

Special refreshments w er e served at the party since this was the last celebration of the year.

Linda Goodin's birthday was also May 6. All of the dorm residents, Mrs. Fulton, and Miss.

Bradley sang "Happy Birthday" to her right before the party started.

Jean Ruyle is engaged to Dick Rottman. A summer wedding is being planned.

By Pat Earl Dorothy James Roberts' "The Enchanted Cup" is a retelling of the legend of Tristram and Isolde, based on Malory's Morte d' Arthur. Miss Roberts brings to the story a magical evocation of place and a mature recreation of character. And yet, "The Enchanted Cup" never rises above the level of a competent histqrical novel with well-developed characters.

"Not As A Stranger" by Morton Thompson is about Lucas Marsh, a dedicated young man who was, in the words of his creator, born to be a doctor, struggles from boyhood to get his training, and becomes at last a fine doctor who promises someday to become human enough to try to make a success of the unfortunate marriage he has wished upon himself and upon the unhappy, long-suffering w o m an who is his wife.

The novel "The Naked and The Dead" by Norman Mailer is based on the reactions of the members of an American platoon to their part of the invasion and occupation of a Japanese-held islandpresumably in 1944. The action is divided into three dramatic stories; the landing on the island; a Japanese counter-attack by night; and a daring patrol of the platoon behind enemy lines.

Paul is a straight-A student who enjoys football, plays a trombone, sings in the chorus, attends a science club, and needs only a few more merit badges to become an Eagle Scout.

Paul helps with expenses and saves money by delivering the Omaha World-Herald. Paul won the scholarship by competing with other World-Herald carriers for the annual Worid~Herald scholarships.

In talking with Paul, we find that he feels winning the scholarship gives him a wonderful opportunity for better competition in education and a better chance to pursue his goal-the medical profession. He manages his money well, and uses his time wisely.

One of his comments was that he would rather study than watch television.

The Broadway success, "The Fourposter," will be presented in the Peru State Teachers College Auditorium Monday, June 22 at 8 p.m. by the Village Players, starring Will Sandy and Margery MacDaniel. This will be the full-length · play complete with authentic costumes and sets.

In telling the story of a 35year marriage, playwright de Hartog passes over none of the standard moments of fear, pathos and unconscious comedy. The play begins with Michael carrying Agnes over the threshold and into the bedroom, which is to be the single #ti~.

Drama critic ~ohn Chapman of the New York Daily News, wrote following the opening of the 79-week Broadway stage hit: "This co · · elates in six brief scenes, e ts in the married lives of two quite normal-even ordinary-people. Its message is the simplest of the simple: Mama loves papa. Its charm is greatthe bed is the play, but "The Fourposter" is no sex farce.

"It is a gentle, beautifully mannered human comedy in which the article of furniture is the symbol rather than the center of married life. It stands gracefully in a corner and witnesses the happiness and the big little tragedies of the wedded state. It sees blissful moments and angry big ones. Besides being the most successful two-character play in the history of the New York Theatre, it is also the most charming of comedies."

The two-character c o st um e comedy stars Margery MacDaniel as Agnes and Will Sandy as Michael. Miss Daniel has won high favor with television, radio and theatre aud.ienees across the country. In ad.dition to her talents as a lovely and talented actress, Miss MacDaniel also has sung in leading hotels and supper clubs, bo·th in the United States and Canada.

As Michael in "The Fourposter" Will Sandy brings to the stage more than 15 years of professional acting e x p er i en c e, which includes eight nation-wide tours and many television and radio appearances. Mr. Sandy also is director of the play.

The Peru State presentation is an Artist Series event. Admission is by student identification or 80 cents for adults and 50 cents for children.

Distinction, High Distinction Rated By Sixty-nine A total of 69 stud.ents at Peru State Teachers College received distinction or high distinction for their second semester work, according to Dr. Harold Boraas, st u d e n t personnel committee chairman.

Peru students among those accorded high distinction were: James Bohlken, Robert Bohlken, and Martha Sue Moore.

Among those rating distinction were Peru students Merritt Adams, Joanne Bohlken, A. JoAnn Hauptman, Judith Miller, and Maxine Lawritson Moore.

The Student Union LET'S SPEAK OF PERU WITH PRIDE New parking lots, signs designating sites of new buildings, old houses being removed-all are signs of progress for PSTC. The building program of four buildings to cost somewhere between a million and a million and a half is by far the most ambitious program in the history of a school which started in 1867. It is a program calculated to give Peru sorely needed facilities to do a better job.

Most of us have no idea of how much time and effort have gone into this building program. Dr. Gomon, Mr. A. V. Larson, and others began planning the Industrial Arts building more than four years ago. Now the building is finally assured, but it will probably be over a year before enough money accumulates in the building fund to construct our building and the physical education building at Kearney. Work will be starting soon on the dorm buildings and the Student Union building.

In spite of many discouragements and much delay, Dr. Neal S. Gomon never stopped working to get the buildings his school needs badly. His dream of a greater Peru is becoming a reality, and loyal Peruvians everywhere are proud of their president and the contributions he has made and is making to the growth of their school.

Let's speak of Peru with pride and do all that we can to help her grow.

and Brownville. Present day Brownville is just a little hard for 3rd and 4th graders to picture as the teeming city with tall brick business buildings as shown in the old pictures, yet they seemed to carry away a feeling of the elegance and hardship of life in the past.

By Mary Anna Gnade The last few days before regular school ends, every kid swears he WILL NOT go to summer school. One week after being out, each kid is impatient to see what he will be doing in s u mm e r school this year. In fact, a glance out the window soon after 8 a.m. registration day showed droves of kids scurrying across campus-and all in vain since classes didn't start until next day! Mrs. Adams has 16 in 1st-2nd; Miss Clarke has 20 in 3rd-4th; Mr. Sheely has 17 in 5th-6th-7th.

Summer elementary students learn about the history of Nebraska. In Miss Clarke's room they are localizing it by studying about how Peru got its name, the Indians who lived here, the first pioneers. Because of this, out came the camera at the Brownville Festival to get pictures of the "pioneers" and the fact that many "pioneers" wore familiar Peru faces helped bring the past right do w n to the present.

This morning (Wednesday) Miss Clarke took her brood to Brownville for a tour of the historical past as represented in the Carson House, the Museum and the 100-year old. church. The children conducted an Indian ceremony on the river bank exhorting the spirits to protect Peru

DIAMOND RINGS

EnroUment of 387 This Summer

By Pat Earl The novel "School for Eternity" by Harry Hervey relates the dramatic story when an eccentric count invites eight people to his castle on a West Indian island. An earthquake demolishes the castle and emfa, the party. The life story of each of the guests is traced in this novel. Besides the count there were an unfrocked priest, a disappointed actress, a school teacher, a young sailor, an old woman, and a pair of lovers.

"21 Stayed," by Virginia Pasley is a story of the American GI's who chose communist China, who they were and why they stayed. It attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries of our time, the problems of 21 families hit by tragedy harder to bear and understand than death itself.

Largest Peru Summer Chorus To Present "Down In The Valley"

By Mrs. Thelma Robertson The music and drama departments will present "Down In the Valley," a contemporary opera

by Kurt Weill, on Wednesday, July 15, at 8 P. M. The place will be announced later.

The orpera is directed by Mr. Darryl Manring assisted by R. D. Moore. The cast includes a chorus of 45, the largest Peru summer chorus in Mr. Manring's ten years at Peru.

"Down In the Valley" is an American folk opera based on such popular folk songs as: "Down In the Valley," "The Lonesome Dove," "The Little Black Train," "Hop Up, My Ladies," and "Sourwood Mountain."

The leads are: A young tenor, Brack Weaver, Allen Loney.

Soprano, Brack's sweetheart, Jennie, Clarice Tegtmeier.

Villain, Thomas Bouche', David Longfellow.

Baritone, the preacher, Sharon Ocker. .Jennie's father, Henry Hinrichs.

Accompanist, Mrs. Carolyn Schacht Henry.

Very simple flat scenery is uesd with very meager props.

Many of the effects are with lights.

Quite an interesting plot develops throughout the play. The father of Jennie is about to lose his place. Bouche', who wishes to get in the good graces of Jennie, promises to help her father.

Jennie goes to a dance witli Brack, her lover, in spite of her father's ins-istence that she go with Bouche', who shows up at the dan{!e intoxicated. During a struggle with Brack, Bouche' is killed. Then Brack is to be hanged.

The opening scene shows Brack in jail about to escape because he wants to see Jennie, who has not come to see him. Bra{!k's escape from jail, the man-hunt by the posse, his reunion with Jennie and his return to jail to be tried, are all poignantly portrayed.

Jennie is going to wait forever for her true love.

This play is a must for all drama and music lovers.

By Pat Earl "Short Stories in Context" by Woodburn 0. Ross and A. Dayle Wallace offers more comprehensive statements concerning the life and works of each author represented than are found in most similar volumes, and a somewhat extended analysis of the basic ideas, the peculiar point-or points-of view, of each. These discuss•ions of the authors constitute the context referred to in the title.

An Atlantic convoy in 1942 is the scene of the novel "The Good Shepherd" by Cecil Scott Fores·-

HFourposterH Was Crowd Pleaser

By Maxine ,Moore The Fourposter was presented in the college auditorium June 22 to a large and appreciative audience.

The six scenes depicted marriage and family relationships from the wedding night through the raising of children and to the selling of the family home.

Margery McDaniel and Wi!l Sandy portrayed Agnes and Michael in the moments of joy, anxiety, recklessness, and complacency so typical of American family life.

Professor R. D. Moore, campus director of dramatics, commented on the performance: "Although the performance was not up to the standards of Tandy and Crouyn, who were very successful on Broadway, I was happily surprised at the professional performance given by the actors.

"Although a road cast such as this works under severe handicaps in scenery and lighting facilities, I felt that they were able to produce satisfactorily an 'illusion of reality.' The 'suggestive' staging, the costuming and makeup were excellent, I would class it as 'good theater'."

ter. Captain Krause, of the Keeling, has just four ships with which to protect the thirty-seven merchantmen in the convoy. The captain's personal struggle, plus his efforts to do an almost impossible job, are depicted during forty-eight desperate hours.

"The Black Rose" by Thomas Bertram Costain is a romantic tale of thirteenth century England and the Orient. The hero is Walter of Gurnie, illegitimate son of an earl who leaves OxfOrd to travel in the East after the death of his father. He rescues a beautiful Greek girl, marries her, then loses her, and has some fab~lom; adventures in the land of Kubla Khan before he returns to England.

Alan Paton's "Cry, the Beloved Country" is a novel of life in South Africa. A humble Zulu minister from the country goes to Johannesburg to find his sick sister. There he discovers that his brother has left the church, his sister has become a prostitute, and his s-On is a murderer.

The good pastor's personal sufferings epitomize the sufferings of his race.

"The Holy Terror" by H. G. Wells is a story of the rise and fall of Rud Whitlow, who began life as a particularly nasty little English schoolboy; rose, after the War of Ideologies and the World Dictator; and finally died, a mad• man, killed by the last man in whom he had any .trust.

One reason so many children are seen on the streets at night is that they are afraid to stay home alone.

Located on the bluffs and overlooking the Missouri river valley, the campus contains 60 acres covered w i t h elm, oak and walnut trees, which make it the most ideal location of any institution of its kind in the state."

Thank You, Staff This is the final Pedagogian of the summer, and it is fitting that we express our gratitude to the staff members who made the paper possible. All of the staff, with the exception of Mrs. Thelma Robertsen, have worked without credit and without pay.

Most of the staff have worked on the paper before, and their experience has been :rrwst valuable.

We needed a pi'Cture the view from the Mathews' place above the river, so we called on Dave Longfellow, graduate student and · editor of the first Ped we sponsored here three years ago. We needed a picture of the Industrial Arts Building for a cut, and the architect's drawing wouldn't photograph because of too much pastel coloring, so Ruth Lins,cheid, graduate and member of our first staff, drew one in black and white.

Rosemary Rottman did a fine building series, and Chris Hays did a lot of fine reporting. They'll be in key posts on next year's Ped. Any time we asked for help, we got it. And-we thank you, all of you, very much.-S. P. L.

Mathews L. B. Mathews, associate professor of physics, has been at Peru State since 1927. He received an A.B. degree from the University of Nebraska and his M.A. from Columbia University, New York City. He was elected! to Phi Beta Kappa. He teaches general physics, trigonometry, college algebra, surveying, and asironomy.

Before coming to Peru, Mr. Mathews was principal of high schools at David City and Columbus, Nebraska. He came here as principal of the T. J. Majors Training School high school and served twenty years in that capacity. He was registrar from 1947-19:51. He has been teaching science since that time.

Mrs. Mathews teaches in the department also and has done so since World War IL Together the Mathews have taught at Peru State about 50 years.

Say the Mathews, "We have enjoyed working together and having the students' interests in common. In a smaller school like Peru, one has more intimate contact with the students.

"By having the opportunity to know the faculty well, one has the feeling of being at home."

Diddel Miss Norma Diddel, associate professor of art, came to Peru in 1929. She received an A.B. degree from the University of Denver and an M.A. from Colorado State College of Education at Greeley.

Miss Diddel taught art at Adams State College at Alamosa, Colorado, and in the Denver Public Schools before coming to Peru.

Miss Diddel has had the interesting experience of teaching students of three generations in her classes. In one such instance, she taught first the son, then the grandmother, and then the mother.

Miss Dic1del has done extensive art work. She has several water color paintings hanging in buildings on the campus. Her paintings, prints, (etchings, lithographs, block prints) have been exhrbited in Florida, Colorado, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

PERU, NEBR.

shown in about fifteen exhibits in Lincoln and Omaha.

Miss Diddel says: "There have been art classes at Peru State since about 1872. There have been specifically-tr a i n e d art teachers since 1895, eight full time teachers in all.

"Before 1895, no specifically trained art teacher was employed and classes in some phase of handwork were taught by teachers from other departments. One early class had the title, "Certificate Drawing," and probably was similar in purpose to the public school art course of today.

"The art department offers two required courses. It also offers twelve elective courses.

"An average over several years indicates that about one-fourth to one-fifth of the total college enrollment is in art classes.

"Lack of suitable wall space and! lighting prevents use of some exhibitions, but arrangements for showing some traveling exhibits have been made for the winter of 1959-60."

A painting of the first building, Normal Hall, by Henry Howard Bagg, hangs in the administration building.

Art classes taught in the department include drawing, painting, public school art, pottery, and lettering.

Of that number 21 are 1959 candidates and 29 are alumni who will be teaching in new locations.

Mrs. Hutcheson reports that only three elementary and 13 secondary candidates have not as yet reported signing contracts for next fall.

Brownell Family Gives Valuable Documents to Peru The S. M. Brownell f a m i 1y have ,presented a number of valuable pamphlets and catalogues of Peru State C o 11 e g e, formerly Peru Normal, to the college in memory of Professor and Mrs. Herbert Brownell.

Browsing through this material, we found some items of great interest, some of statistical value, and some quite amusing.

Some of these items are: 1867-A copy of the first school catalogue.

1900-The board in the dormitory was $2.50 per week. Room rent in the dormitory for the summer term was from $2 to $3.25. Furnished and unfurnished rooms for light housekeeping were from 25 cents to $1 per week per student.

1904-Textbooks were rented at ten cents a book for a term of six weeks.

1909-Demand was strong for teachers at a high salary of $60 a month.

Bath Room

Cleanliness is next to Godliness! The Y.M.C.A. stands for clean men in every respect; therefore, in addition to its other advantages, it offers the free use of its bath room to all members

of the association. Last year more than 3,500 baths were taken. This alone shows that the young men appreciate a good thing.

LYON, MILLER. HUEBNER WIN P.T.A. SCHOLARSHIPS Mrs. Lillian Lyon, former Peruvian and a teacher in the Nebraska City Schools, has been awarded a summer tuition scholarship in Special Education at the University of Nebraska by the Nebraska Congress of Parents and Teachers. Scholarships were also awarded to Mrs. Mary Alice Miller of Elgin, and Mrs. Ruby Huebner of Papillion.

The P.T.A. Scholarship program is an important part of the work of the Nebraska Congress, for they realize the great need for better trained teachers in the special education field. Fortyfive tuition scholarships we r e awarded in January to students in elementary and secondary ed• ucation at the four State Teachers Colleges, the University of Omaha, and the University of Nebraska.

Money for these scholarships is raised by local PTA unit participation in the State Life Membership program by whi~h an individual is honored by his local unit for outstanding service to children and youth.

The presentation of music by the Boston Concert Ensemble at the Friday, July 10, convocation was a success.

The distinguished artists who formed the en;emble were Nancy Cirillo, violinist, and Lanalee Litz, harpist, from New York; William Stevens, pianist, from Montreal, Canada; and John Horner, baritone, fron:i Boston.

The audience seemed-- to especially enjoy the "Spanish Dance" played by Miss Cirillo and Mr. Stevens; "Russian Dance" played

by Miss Cirillo, Miss Rushford, and Mr. Stevens; "In-a Dat Mornin' " and "Plenty Good Room,'' sung by Mr. Horner, and Handel's hauntingly beautiful "Largo" and "Ching-a-ring Chaw!" by the Ensemble.

When summed up, the members of the Boston Concert Ensemble make nearly three hundred solo appearances a season.

Individually, they have been heard in Washington, D. C., New York, Boston, Toronto and Montreal, to mention but a few of our leading musical cities. They have been soloists with orchestras at Carnegie Hall and Town Hall, New York, Symphony Hall and Jordan Hall, Boston, C. B. C. in Canada, music festivals at Tanglewood, Mass.; Brevard, N. C.; Venice, Italy, and many others.

In fact, in one week-end last summer, three of the four members of the Ensemble were guest soloists with the orchestra of the Brevard Festival.

Add to this a number of solo and ensemble appearances in colleges and universities, and you ha~e quite an extraordinary record of achievement for the members of the Boston Concert Ensemble.

We were very fortunate that they were able to include Peru State among their list of summer appearances.

International Education Institute Offers Two Hundred Fellowships Two hundred fellowships for graduate study in 15 foreign countries will be offered by foreign governments and universities through the Institute of International Education for the academic year 1960'-61.

The Institute announced today that applications for the fellowships will be available on May 1 and will be accepted until November 1, 1959.

The scholarships cover tuition and varying amounts: of maintenance in universities in Aus- · tria, Denmark, France, Germany, I~an, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Swed en, Switzerland, Canada, Brazil andt Mexico. Students applying for Italian university awards or Austrian, Danish, French, German or Netherlands Government awards may apply for a Fulbright travel grant to supplement their scholarships. Two additional awards, offered by an American foundation, are for any country in the Far East, South - or Southeast Asia and Africa.

General eligibility requirements are United States citizenship, a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent b e f o re departure, language ability sufficient to carry on the proposed study, and good health. A good academic recordt and demonstrated capac. ity for independent study are also necessary. Preference is given to applicants under 35 years of age who have not had extens·ive foreign experience. While married persons are eligible for most of the above described awards,

Does Education Pay? Harvard Men Average $14,000--Will Make More Two years at the Harvard School of Business Administration are a good investment.

That's the conclusion reached

by Fortune Magazine in its June issue following a careful questioning of the Harvard Business School's Class of '49. The median member of that class, says Fortune (which received completed questionnaires from 69 per cent of the 6'52 graduates), "is a man of thirty-six who faces the world in good health and with equanimity."

In the first place, his yearly salary is $14,000 before taxes, and stocks and bonds, life insurance, equity in his house and a few other odds and ends add up to a net worth of $32,000. What is more, says Fortune, the Business School graduate of 1949 (who at that time estimated he would be making $10,000 a year in a decade) figures he'll be making $30,000 a year by the time he's fifty.

Big Money Boys

Actually, adds the magazine, more than 21 per cent of the class members questioned are making over $20,000, six enterprising individuals are earning more than $50,000 and the top man reports a salary in excess of $100,000.

Forty-five per cent of the Class of '49 work in the city (as against a third five years ago) and 46 per cent work in manufacturing, followed by finance with 11 per cent. According to Fortune, 69 men are presidents or vice presidents of other people's· companies, 78 are self-employed.

Ninety per cent of the class are married (most say their wives have been helpful in their careers) and only eight are divorced or separated. Among those who answered the questionnaire the '49ers account for 932 children, an average of two each.

Three men, whose salaries are fortunately well above the median, have six children each.

Despite his comfortable salary, says Fortune, the 49er is not a spectacular spender. Fifty per cent of the class have two automobiles, but the second car may, in many cases, be just something to get to the station. Only 30 men own a summer home, fewer than 15 per cent support a boat and the stipends are geared to the needs of S·ingle grantees.

For further information and application forms, prospective applicants should write to the Information and Counseling Division, Institute of International Education, 1 East 67th Street, New York 21, N. Y. or to any of the Institute's regional offices.

the majority are satisfied with one television set.

Here are some other facts about the '49ers: They work hard, but don't overtax themselves. Over a third take more than two weeks · off, ,ony 14.5 per cent work over 60 hours a week.

They are not joiners. Few spend more than one night a week on any activity outside their business.

Sports are the class's chief relaxation (nearly two-thirds list one sport or another), TV and reading follow in that order.

Only 10 per cent are agnostics, 5 per cent atheists, most have stuck to the religion of their fathers, two-thirds of whom were Protestant.

Their Republicanism has cooled from 1952's 78 per cent to a sure 57 per cent for 1960. Flat disapproval of Eisenhower's performance was expressed by 127 men, over half of whom voted for him in 1956.

For president in '60, Nixon got 133 votes, Rockefeller 132, Stevenson 62, Kem,~dy and Sym- ' ington 23 each, John\m 18 and Humphrey 9.

Two-thirds think the government should not press harder in enforcing civ · · hts; slightly more than th lnk the farm economy shoul be restored to a free-market system.

Despite some criticisms of their time spent at Harvard, says Fortune, most of the class of '49 "continue to look forward to an increasingly comfortable life-."

"More than half expect to be making over $20,000 before the end of five more years,'' the magazine c o n c 1 u des. Fifteen years from now, 65 per cent of those who will still be working expect to be at least in the $30,00-0-to-$50,000 income range, 15 per cent expect to be retired (although only three will have reached sixty-five).

Parking Lot Landscaped Stacy Vance, superintendent of buildings and gr o u n d s, says: "There is no provisiion for a parking lot back of the infirmary. The space is to be used as a part oji,, ~ the landscaping for the new '• dormitory.

"The parking lot next to '• Campus School is a temporary one. The lot next to the Avenue Store is to be enlarged to take care of student and c amp u s School parking.

"Plans are to be carried out to enlarge the parking space h~h;~;i the gymnasium as soon as pOS• sible."
