Orchestra Will Perform At Homecoming Play Peru State's orchestra under the direction of Mr. Edward G. Camealy, will make its initial debut October 20, during the Homecoming play. On December 9, the orchestra will play the "Messiah" by Handel.

Mr. Camealy reports a turn-out of twenty-seven musicians. This total includes seven students registered for credit, ten students for experience, and ten persons in the area who play for the fun of it.

A new member to the orchestra is Mr. Robbins, the foreign language professor, who plays the flute.

Mr. Camealy would also like to pay a special salute to Mr. Victor H. Jindra. He feels Peru State would not have an orchestra if it were not for Mr. Jindra, who is known to many around the area as "Mr. Stringman."

"Dirty Work at the Crossroads" Will Be Homecoming Play The Homecoming play, to be presented at 8 p.m. October 20, will be a melodrama, with three acts called "Dirty Work at the Crossroads" or .. Tempted, Tried and True."

The play tells in laughablE> sty le about the tear-jerking story of Nellie Lovelace, an innocent country girl; of Adam Oakheart, the stalwart blacksmith's son; and of Munro Murgatroyd, the villain from the big city. Munro, the viper, has a wife named Ida Rhinegold, the belle of the Kew Haven Music Halls, but that does not prevent him from pursuing the innocent Nellie and tearing her from the arms of her dying mother (whom he has poisoned).

Nor does it prevent him from driving Adam to drink, from blackmailing the rich Mrs. Upson Asterbilt, or from bewitching her daughter, Leonie. There are a number of places in the plot where such old-time songs as "All That Glitters Is Not Gold" and "The Old Cuckoo Clock" are introduced.

The cast is as follows: Carol McLain as Nellie Lovelace, the heroine; Steve Parker as Adam Oakheart, the hero; Lonn Pressnall as Munro Murgatroyd, the villain;

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Ardith Pratt

As "Fling abroad our college colors" echoes through the halls, all are shocked into the realization that another year has begun.

Already the freshmen have broadened themselves. The second floor freshmen found their hall way measures only 890 toothpicks end to end. (Who knows, maybe someday they may volunteer to measure it with toothpicks side by side.) The third floor found their hallway to be longer than usual when they attempted to navigate pencils via their nose.

Bobcat Power Unleashed Against St. Mary of the Plains A big Peru State Teachers College line opened gaping holes, and a crew of hard-charging backs took advantage to key a 34 to 6 rout over St. Mary of the Plains of Dodge City, Kans., Saturday night at Peru.

Sparked by the running of Leonard Kinser, Red Oak, Iowa, and Ron Kelley, Falls City, the Peruvians picked up a 16-0 halftime lead and then coasted! the final half to record their third win of the season against no defeats. Kinser rushed for 113 yards in 16 carries while Kelley w as picking up 83 yards in 12 attempts.

Peru, haunted by the memory of their past two narrow wins, scored after only 2:47 had been played in the first quarter. The Bobcats had kicked off to St. Mary and on the Cavaliers' first play from scrimmage, halfback Bob Lisa fumbled and Jim Brenn, Hebron, recovered on the St. Mary eleven.

Little Barney Mcllvoy, South Lyon, Mich., cr(lcked to the eight and on the next play he strolled in for the touchdown. Kinser's conversion was true and Peru, for all practical purposes, h a d enough to win.

The Bobcats, on the strength of Ken Dostal, Scribner, picked up a safety early in the second period when the big tackle applied the press to St. Mary halfback George Evans in his own end zone.

Bill Tynon, Bobcat quarterback, set up Peru's second touchdown with a Cavalier pass he pirated and returned from midfield to the St. Mary 44. With Pat Hamm, Wood River, Ill., picking up most of the yardage, P e r u moved down field to score. on a four-yard pass from Bill Witty, Syracuse, to Larry Rathe, Sterling, with 3:19 left before the intermission. Kinser kicked the extra point and Peru had its second of five touchdowns, final conversion, and a 16-0 halftime bulge.

The Bobcats added their 22nd point with 9:40 to go in the third

quarter on an eight-yard burst

by Ron Kelley. Kelley and Kinser had picked up huge chunks of yardage on this 64-yard Peruvian march.

Late in the third quarter Leonard Kinser cracked two yards to score and cap a 68-yard march for Peru. On the ensuing kickoff, halfback Bob Lisa gave the Cavalier faithful their only cheer as he gathered in Kinser's kickoff on the 14-yard line and twisted 86 yards to score St. Mary's only touchdown.

Peru smashed 71 yards in the fourth quarter to dose out the evening's scoring. Bill Witty moved the last 10 yards on a keeper with 2:10 showing on the clock.

In winning their third of the '62 campaign, Peru revealed pow- · erful, if not fast, backfield. This corps ate up 316 yards on the ground while the air game was producing 77.

Peru's twin tackle giants, Ken Dostal, Scribner, and Jim Brenn, Hebron, gave the fans an exhibition of defensive terrorism up front while Pat Hamm and Bill Tynon provided the secondary defensive wizardry.

The win, however, proved to be costly f~ ·the 'Cats. Barney Mcllvoy was carried off the field in the second quarter with a leg injury and his speedy return is doubtful. Later, reserve center, Luke ·Cox, Lincoln, went the same route with a knee injury.

His fate is questionable.

As time ran out, still a third underpinning went as third string signal caller, Roy Broadbrooks, Beatrice, hobbled to the sidelines. Peru was without ends Tom Neal, Lincoln, who is out for the season, and Jim Hall, Omaha, who was recovering from a knee injury.

Yearbook Pictures Were Taken Individual pictures were taken from September 17 through the 20th for the Peruvian. The flicking camera of Harry E. · Pollock took 2344 shots of 586 Peru students and faculty members.

The Peruvian staff did the paper work for Mr. Pollock, the representative of the Rex Haberman Studio of Hastings, Nebr.

A new system was used this year. Each student was issued a number which will appear on his picture for later identification.

He also completed an information blank for reference. After receiving four proofs, the student will be able to select the proper one for the yearbook and have extra pictures made.

According to Stewart Linscheid, sponsor of the Peruvian, this method of taking pictures is much more efficient than the one used in recent years.

Letter To A Freshman Dear Freshman: You have been around here long enough that it isn't necessary to tell you that you are in a very fine school and that you are very welc_ome. By now, you know that Peru is Nebraska's oldest college and that all Peruvians believe it is Nebraska's best college.

One of the main reasons Peru is what she is today is your president, Dr. Neal S. Gomon. Last spring the Auburn Rotary Club and the Peru and Auburn Kiwanis Clubs sponsored a dinner attended by more than 250 people to recognize ten years of distinguished service by Dr. Gomon as president of N.S.T.C. at Peru. During Dr. Gomon's administration, enrollment has more than doubled, and so has the physical plant. If you see a new building or an addition to a building, he has had something to do with its being here. Also, he has surrounded himself with.an administrative staff that is dedicated to giving you personal attention and the very best service possible with the funds available.

You know that the faculty of Peru takes far more than ordinary interest in you as an individual. Although we have lost some of our oldest faculty members-Victor Jindra, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Mathews, George Rath, A. B. Clayburn-by retirement the last two years, we still have faculty members on duty who have been serving our students for a quarter of a century or more: R. T. Benford in music, Norma Diddel in art, R. D. Moore in speech and dramatics, Al Wheeler in physical education, and Stacy Vance in buildings and grounds.

These people have made a record of unselfish service that newer faculty members are striving to match. If you have a problem, take it to a faculty member. He will do all that he can t9 help you. · Finally, there's a certain spirit here. You'll see it at its best during Homecoming. You are a part of that spirit now, and you will become more a part of it as your college years go by. We hope you do because that spirit is what makes Peru great.

Best wishes for a great career.

-S.P. L.

DELZELL NEW~

On September 26, the basement of Delzell was the scene of a wrestling match. Mattresses were laid on the floor for a ring.

Each wrestler had a manager, and there were referees on hand to carry out the rules.

Ten cents ad m is s i o n was charged. This went for flowers for Mrs. Paradise, who had been taken to a hospital in Omaha.

Since Mrs. Paradise left, Mrs .

Longfellow has kept law an d order in the dorm.

A letter from Mrs. Paradise has been received and placed on the bulletin board. In it, she thanked the stud en ts for the cards a n d flowers. She also added that she would be back one of these days with perhaps a crutch with which to manage us.

On several occasions a smoke screen has been laid in the halls of Delzell. When the incinerator was lit, the smoke backed up through the trash chutes into the halls. The first time this happened, several fellows thought the dorm was on fire, but there was really no ca use for alarm.

Bobcats Overtaken By Antelopes For 13-13 Tie

BY LARRY RATHE Peru State Teachers College played the Kearney State Ante· lopes off their feet during the first half Saturday night and then had to depend upon a superb effort by Ken Dostal to hang on and gain a 13-13 conference tie at Kearney.

The Peru Bobcats roared to a 13-0 first half lead, only to see Kearney do an about-face in the final half of play. A 64-yard pass from quarterback Dick Butolph to end Larry McCord with 5:26 remaining in the third quarter and an extra point placement by Dick Hollinger put Kearney in position for t'le tie.

Kearney, on the efforts of fleet halfback Bill Backes' 15-yard jaunt, tied the game with 11:03 left to play and .Kearney had an . opportunity to win if Hollinger could split the uprights.

Peru's Dostal hurled his 6'6'', 225-pound frame through the Kearney forward wall to block the attempt and allow Peru State to hang on to the tie.

Peru's first score came with 0:42 left in the first quarter on Leonard Kinser's six-yard end

excursion. Leonard capped a 30yard drive which resulted after Bill Tynon returned a punt from the Kearney 46 to the Kearney 30. Windhorst and Kinser picked up all but two yards of this drive.

Peru took possession on the Kearney 21 after a bad pass from center on fourth down forced the Antelopes to try and run the ball. Peru marched down to the Kearney five, but a holding penalty moved the ball back to the Kearney 20. On the next play, halfback Pat Hamm, pitched a perfect scoring pass to end Roger Noell. After converting the first point after touchdown, Kinser's second attempt went wide giving Peru its 13 points.

This game could prove to have been a very crucial one for the Bobcats. A win could have given them a very good chance of picking up their third .NCC championship in a row. The tie with Kearney could d i m Peru's chances of becoming NCC champs, but they do have a go()(J. chance of becoming co-champions with Kearney State Teachers.

BOBCAT CHATTER By Pai Hamm In Coach Mclntire's 20 years of coaching, his teams played only cine game that ended in a tie.

That game was last year's 7-7 tie with Doane. This year's successive ties with Kearney and Hastings run the total to three in his last two year:C

Third Title Muffed Chances are the Bobcats muffed their bid for a third successive conference title. The 14-14 tie with Hastings means that Kearney and Hastings will have to tie to give the Bobcats a share of the title. If either Kearney or Hastings win, it's curtains f or Peru.

Injuries Barney Mcllvoy, who missed the last two games due to an injured knee, may see some action against Doane this Saturday.

Luke Cox, center, was sidelined for the Hastings game, due to a high fever.

Average Size Incidentally, the average Bobcat football player stands six foot tall, weighs 187 pounds, and has a skinned elbow.

A Smile or Two Just give the average young man two tickets to a football game, the nice fresh air and a beautiful girl to take to the game, and you can keep the two tickets and the nice fresh air ...

Then there was the quarterback who discovered his girl was faithful to the end ....

Sports Editor's Note: Congratulations are in order for Pat Hamm, who this week received one of the Omaha WorldHerald's "player of the week award." Pat received the award for an outstanding job of broken field running against the . Hastings Broncos. He gained 123 yards which nearly demoralized Hastings in the 14-14 tie.

Bobcats Lose Early Lead; Hastings Gains 14-14 NCC Tie For the second week in a row the Peru State Teachers College Bobcats struck fast to build up a first half lead and then watched their opponents come from behind to equal the early Peruvian efforts to gain a Nebraska College Conference tie.

Last week Kearney came from 13 points behind to earn a deadlock, and last Saturday night at Peru, the Hastings B r o n c o s wiped out a 14-0 Peru State first quarter lead and gained a 14-all dead heat.

The Bobcats struck twice in the first quarter and then stalled as Hastings took advantage of Peru errors to score once in the second stanza and once near the end of the third quarter.

Coach Jack Mclntire's gridders drove 40 yards to score the first time they had possession. P at Hamm, Wood River, Ill., pitched 18-yard touchdown pass to Jim Hall, Omaha, for the counter and Leonard Kinser, Red Oak, Iowa, split the goal posts and Peru led 7-0 after 4:02 had elapsed.

The second time they gained ball control, P'eru marched 51 yards to score with Hamm cantering the final 15 yards around left end. Kinser booted the extra point with 5:51 remaining in the first quarter.

Midway in the second quarter, Hastings got one of two breaks they needed. Hard Luck Bill Witty, Bobcat signal caller from Syracuse, went back to punt on

Three plays later, Hastings quarterback Gerald Fisher passed to Dave Hanna who scored from seven yards out with 7:03 left to play.

Late in the third quarter Peru opened a drive which lo,oked like it might pay off. The Bobcats moved from their own 41 to the Hastings 20. Then with third down and six yards to go, Witty passed toward end Jim Hall but opportunist Carl Allison picked off the toss on the 15 and ran 85 yards unmolested to score. Dave Hanna kicked the point and the scoring was done.

Following the kick-off Peru drove from their 21 to the Hastings 8 before the drive died. on a Bobcat fumble.

Late in the fourth quarter Peru again threatened, but an attempted field goal by Leonard Kinser from the 21-yard 1 in e sailed wide to thwart the Bobcat last-ditch attempt.

DELZELL NEWS By Curtis Nelson During the open house on Saturday, October 20, Delzell had its share of visitors. Many former students came back to the dorm with their wives and children.

Many girls from Eliza Morgan Hall were also here. The halls were all cleaned .and polished for the o~casion, and almost all of the residents had their r o o m s cleaned up. The rest probably locked their doors.

One delegation of students from the East went home on Friday, October 19. Another group left Monday, October 22. By Wednesday afternoon most of the residents were leaving for the vacation.

The television set at Delzell has been out of order for more than a week to the disgust of many of the residents. Something musf be done about this.

On September 14, Delzell had 161 residents. It now has 156. We have lost seven students, but two new ones have arrived since the beginning of the school year. The dorm really has room for only 151 students, so there are still a · few rooms with .three men in them.

What is an the noise coming from the basement? After investigating, we found the girls of Morgan Hall huddled in Elsie Sejkora's room. The main attraction was her "Ouija" board. If you have problems just drop in and join the group. The girls in attendance report "Ouija" is right most of the time.

The other was, as the program stated, "the greatest mechanical effects ever seen," which was done by the backstage crew in the last scene. They simulated a train bearing down upon the two helpless men tied to the track.

ALetter From The Cheerleaders What has become of that old Peru spirit? This question puzzled many alumni who returned to Peru for the college's homecoming against Chadron. It has also puzzled us, the cheerleaders, • elected by you, the student body of Peru State.

Many comments have . been made about Peru's lack of spirit this season, but this black point seemed to reach its peak at the IVAN LeROY LELAND homecoming game. True, the Ivan LeRoy Leland joined the contest lacked sparkle and the faculty as assistant professor in excitement of many of Peru;s history. He teaches two history past games, but untrue is the fact courses in the campus school and that this was any cause for lack of enthusiasm on the student three in college.

Mr. Leland received his mas- body's part.

North Central Representative Visits Dr. Raymond A. Olson, director of elementary teacher education at Ball State Teachers College, Muncie, Indiana, was a visitor on the Peru State campus October 11 and 12. .While on the Peru campus, Dr. Olson acted as co-ordinator for the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools with their cooperative project in teacher education. Each member school is. visited as a part of this project. During the two-day period, members of the Peru faculty met with Dr. Olson to discuss problems in education.

Dr. Olson stated the Peru State campus was located in a very scenic spot.

time to express the thought that we know we will not be able to please everyone with what we do, so we are trying to please the majority.

Also, it is unfair to compare us with other college cheerleaders, who have made their appearance at Peru. These cheerleaders have told us that they -w~re elected last spring by their student body and practiced together all summer.

Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated by us, as we are interested in finding out what we are doing wrong, or what you, the student body, is interested in.

Remember, the cheerleaders are no better than the crowd behind them.

Now that the home football season is completed, we will be working extra hard to prepare for the basketball season, which will be upon us soon.

We sincerely hope that by working together during the basketball season, we can make you proud of us, and you can make us proud of you.

Peru Defeats Chadron 14-0 In Homecoming Contest Played Here Peru State .Teachers College took advantage of a break on the opening kick-off of the second half to break a scoreless duel with Chadron State and go on to record a 14-0 win over their Ne·braska College Conference rivals.

With a scoreless tie still showing on the scoreboard and with the fans still discussing the crowning of Miss Mary Ann Lewellyn, Fort Crook, as the 23rd Homecoming queen at Peru State, the big break of the b!lll game occurred.

Sterling's Larry Rathe, Peru State senior, kicked-off short and the ball slithered to the Chadron 46 yard marker where an alert band of Peru linemen covered the free ball while Chadron looked on.

From there .Ron Kelley, senior Peru halfback from Falls City, took control. In five slashing carries,--one for 12 and another for 18 yards-Kelley personally delivered the pigskin to the one yard line. With the Chadron defense again expecting the flying feet of Kelley to do the damage, q~arterback Bill Witty, Syracuse, moved the final yard on a quarterback sneak. Leonard Kinser, Red Oak, Iowa, halfback, booted the first of his two extra points to give the Bobcats a 7-0 lead with 12:01 remaining in the third quarter.

Peru's second and final touch.down came with 13:18 remaining in the game. The huge crowd, witnessing the 41st Peru State Homecoming clash, . saw Peru's 290-pound tackle, Jim Brenn, Hebron, .. scoop up a Chadron fumble on the Eagle 32-yard line and almost go all the way to score. A grasping Chadron hand tripped up the surprisingly fast 'Brenn on the Chadron 26.

Seven plays later Len Kinser bolted over left guard to score from three yards out. Moments later his ·:)onversion at temp t stirred the autumn air between the goal posts.

A big part of the credit for foe win must go to the Bobcat de-

fensive eleven who held the Eagles to 5'8 yards on the ground and 31 in tp.e air. Chadron never moved past their own 45 yard line.

Defensive line plaudits were earned by tackle Ken Dostal, Scribner, a fifth man in the Chadron backfield; tackle Jim Brenn, Hebron; guards Bill Lawlor, Plattsburg, Mo., and Troy Lyon, Nebraska City.

Ron Kelley, Falls City, picked off two Chadron passes and Sam Carneal, Nebraska City, sophomore, who has apparently won himself the specialized job of punt returning, returned seven Chadron kicks for a total of 72 yards.

The game marked Peru's final appearance in Oak Bowl for the '62 season.

BTeam Defeats Northwest Missouri Reserves, 14-6

Five Original Wheeler Players At "P" Club Homecoming Luncheon Five members of the first football team coached by Al Wheeler at Peru State Teachers College in the 19~8 season were present for the annual luncheon sponsored by the 'P-Club, lettermen's organization, at the 41st homecoming.

That team".. which posted a 1-7-0 season's record went ahead and won the Nebraska Intercollegiate conference championship in 1939, posting a 7-1-1 season record. Present were: John Boyer, York; Jack Mcintire, head football coach at Peru; Al Wheeler, director of athletics; Allison Dougherty, York; Ross Adams, Peru; Glen Sheely, Auburn. During his 23 years as football coach at Peru, Al Wheeler's teams posted a 133-51-12 record.

HP" Club Auction N Profit For Scholarshirfi:i "Come on let's start the bidding folks! Need a five dollar billy, gotta five, gotta fiveWho'll go ten, gimme ten, c'mon just ten"-and so it went at the first "P" Club auction. On October 11, the Oak Bowl was suddenly transformed into an auction block and local auctioneers, Laurence Bernard, John Weisbrook and Tom Majors, offered their services in an endeavor to raise money for a "P" Club scholarship fund.

Interested Peru State supporters donated everything from beans to thoroughbred calves for the bidding. Auction ·goers bid wholeheartedly for the cause; Mr. Gerald Moore went as high as fifteen dollars for a jar of olives.

Bobcats Slip Past Pesky Tigers 13-7 The Peru State Teachers College Bobcats, led by the steady rushing of Ron Kelley, Falls City, and the break-away running of Bill Tynon, Peru, annexed their first Nebraska College Conference victory by downing Doane College, 13-7, at Crete.

Kelley sparked the Bobcats' ground game with 114 yards in 19 carries and Tynon ignited the sluggish Peru State scoring machine with an 87-yard sprint into pay-dirt.

In downing the Doane Tigers, Peru State elevated its NCC record to one win and two ties and kept alive its slim hopes for the loop crown.

Doane, unimpressed by Peru's rushing defense average of 85.4 yards-per-game, slashed the Bobcat defense for 170 yards rushing, while making the Bobcats come from behind for the win. It was the third time in six games that Jack Mclntire's charges have overcome deficits to win.

Paced by halfback Roger Nieveen, Doane drove 85 yards in the first period for the evening's first s_core. The drive, accomplished in 10 plays, was capped

by Nieveen's 11-yard burst with 4:07 remaining in the quarter.

Marv Drevo booted the extra point to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead.

Those who were not regular auction-goers listened c 1 o s e 1 y , shaking their heads as they tried to comprehend the ringing chant of the auctioneers. Others were overly careful not to nod or point in fear they might find themselves raising the bid.

Final tabulation showed $1,044 collected for the fund. For many days after, the latest cliche was "sold to the highest bidder."

Midway in the second canto, Peru thwarted another Doane drive on the Bobcat 6-yard stripe to set the stage for Tynan's heroics. With third down and three yards needed, Tynon called h i s own keeper signal. The slender junior slashed inside his own left e~d, tut toward the middle and rocketed 87 yards to score with 7:45 left. Leonard Kinser, Red Oak, Iowa, missed the P.A.T. placement attempt and the half enMd· with Doane nursing a onepoint' advantage.

The Bobcats nailed down the win in the third quarter by driving 64 yards to score. Ron Kelley, Falls City, picked up 46 of those yards in five attempts, and Bill Witty, Syracuse, moved the final yard on a quarterback sneak.

This time Kinser's conversion was good.

Doane filled the air with passes in a vain attempt to score an upset, but a combination of Peru line pressure, inept Doane receiving, and timely Bobcat secondary saves carried the Peruvians to the win.

1

Peru State's offense was hampered by injuries. Roy Windhorst, Deshler, did not see action at his customary fullback position and Leonard Kinser, halfback, saw action sparingly and was considerable under par.

Three Peru first-year men, Bill Witty, Keith Grimes, Columbus, and John Stefan, Fairfield, Conn., plus senior Ron Kelley formed the Bobcat starting backfield.

Butch Blankenship; playing a brilliant .offensive game, hit John Eickhoff with a 25 yard scoring pass for Prep's first tally.

Minutes later, Blankenship was on the receiving end of a Mike Tynon aerial for Prep's second score. Tynon rolled around the end to round out the Bobkitten scodng at 20-0 for the first half.

The Bobkittens, substituting frequently, tallied only once in the second half. It was E\lankenship up the middle for thirty-five yards and pay dirt.

Playing in a steady rain that started just before game time, Prep actually out-waded its highly rated opponents to score the soa''.ing victory. Mike Tynon and Clinton Reeves led the Bobkittens offensively, scoring five touchdowns.

BOBCAT CHATTER By Pat Hamm

Peru closed out its football season on a somewhat sorry note, losing to Wayne 41-0. The Bobcats in their last two encounters failed to nrnke the scoring column and leaked defensively for 83 points. Peru's defeat at Wayne dropped them from second place in the NCC to tie for second with Wayne.

Since 1950 The last time the Wayne Wildcats whipped the Bobcats was in 1950. Thus Saturday's defeat ended 12 years of Peru domination.

Wayne Gets Revenge In ABig Way, 41-0 Eleven years of frustr'l-tion for Wayne State Teachers College was wiped out Saturday as it hum b 1e d long-time tormentor Peru State Teachers College, 410, in a Nebraska College Conference contest at Wayne.

Following a 7-6 Wayne win in 1950, Peru's Bobcats handed the Wildcats eleven straight setbacks.

In the past two years Peru gained N.C.C. championships by eliminating Wayne from the title picture in late season wins.

Wayne's inspired play Saturday afternoon handed Jack McIntire's Peruvians their first NCC loss since Hastings turned the trick in 1960. It closed out Peru's 1962 season with a record of 5-22, while their conference m a r k stands at 2-1-2.

Pat Shimoda, 5'6 junior from Pulakani, Hawaii, sped his 160pound frame for 148 yards rushing, scored two touchdowns on runs of 25 and 18 yards, and booted five extra points to key the Wayne shutout.

Wayne blasted for 27 points in the first 18 minutes to crush Peru's hopes. Fullback Burton Matthies opened the Wayne scoring parade with a one-yard blast to cap a 33-yard drive in Wayne's first offensive effort. Shimada picked up 32 of those yards and then booted the extra point to give the hosts a 7-0 lead with 3:27 played in the first stanza.

Some five minutes later Shimada ripped into paydirt from 25 yards out. His extra point kick was blocked for his only failure of the day.

Before the first quarter ended, Shimada scored again and booted a perfect placement.

The second period was nearly three minutes old when Burton Matthies bulled his way for 16 yards to score. The extra point gave the WHdcats a 27-0 1e ad which they carried into halftime.

Following a scoreless third period, Wayne climaxed the scoring with two touchdowns. Halfback Dick Chochon scored on an eight-yard burst and Jerry Kilcoin moved 20 yards to score.

Scoring threats for Peru were few. Late in the first half the Bobcats moved to the Wayne 10yard line before running out of downs. In the third quarter a pass interception halted a Peru drive after the Bobcats had moved to the Wayne 9.

Seven Peru State senior gridders played their last collegiate game Saturday. They include: Bill Bliss, Lincoln; Ken Dostal, Scribner; Pat Hamm, Wood River, Ill.; Ron Kelley, Falls City; Bill Lawlor, Plattsburg, Mo.; Larry Rathe, Sterling; and Dean Stapleton, Council Bluffs, Iowa.

What Happened?

When the Bobcats returned hence ·from Wayne many were asked, "What happened?" To me, it is a question that is almost impossible to answer. Was Wayne better than Peru? I don't think so.

Time Out A young college freshman proudly brought his Dad to the homecoming football game. After a game full of excitement and thrills, the young man exclaimed, "Well Dad, have you ever had more thrills and excitement for only two dollars?" The father smiled and said, "Well, son, I paid only two dollars for my marriage license."

Ron Kelley Leads Bobcats Total Offense Ron Kelley captured the 1962 total offense crown for the Peru State Teachers College Bobcats.

The senior halfback ·from Falls City rushed for 444 yards in 102 attempts and had no passing yardage to lead the Bobcats.

While recording a season mark of 5-2-2, Jack Mcintire's Bobcats totaled 2094 yards rushing a n d passing to their opponents' 1763 yards. Breaking it down, P er u gained 1508 yards on the ground while their opponents gained 1212. In the air it was closer with Peru holding a 35 yard edge on a total of 586 yards.

In passing, Bill Witty, Syracuse completed 29 of 63 attempts for 297 yards and one touchdown to lead the 'Cats in that department. Jim Hall, junior end from Omaha nabbed 12 passes over the season to gain 148 yards.

In scoring, the Bobcats had the most trouble since 1947. This year's 108 point production is the smallest point total since the 1947 team scored 97. Peru's 83 point defensive collapse in the final two games this year allowed the opposition to count the most points-136-since 1949 when 164 counters were registered against the Peruvians.

The 1962 grid season, not too successful if measured by 1960 and '61 standards, saw the unseating of the Bobcats as Nebraska College Conference champs.

Now the Peruvians find themselves echoing the famous "wait till next year" cry.

Kittens Pull Down Johnson Eagles 33-6 Peru Prep romped over the Johnson Eagles 33-6 here Friday night, November 2.

Touchdowns were scored by Clint Reeves, John Mcintire and John Eickhoff.

Prep, having lost only one game, is headed for one of its best seasons in years with the final game being Wednesday, November 7.

Northern Michigan Romps To 42-0 Wir_ Over Peru State The Peru State Teachers College_ Bobcats stepped out of their class, Saturday, and were reprimanded as Northern Michigan College administered a 42-0 spanking in .a football game played at Marquette, Mich.

Northern's rough-and-ready crew used every scoring method in the books, with the exception of a forfeiture, to record the rout. The Upper Peninsula Wildcats scored five touchdowns, four extra points, two field goals, and a safety to thoroughly humble the previously unbeaten but twice tied Nebraskans.

So effective was No rt h er n Michigan's defensive play that Peru State crossed mid field only once-that coming in the opening minutes when the Bobcats recorded two of their five first downs to move just inside the 50yard line.

Fullback Don Bangret set the stage for Northern's first score when he pirated q. pass from Bobcat quarterback, Bill Witty, and returned it 29 yards to the Peru 44. Two plays later Bangret banged home from two yards out to set the tempo. Big Jim Welch booted the 11.rst of four perfect placement attempts and Northern was on the way with 5:58 remaining in the first quarter.

The Michiganites salted the game away in the second period with a 12 point burst. Halfback Tom Neumann crossed the double stripe on the end of a 43yard pass from Stan Ferris and Welsh converted. Moments later Northern recorded a safety as Bill Witty was smothered behind his own goal line. With some 40 seconds remaining in the half, Terry Nyquist booted a 13-yard field goal to make the halftime score 19-0.

Northern thrilled their huge homecoming crowd by recording 23 second half points. These came on a one-yard plunge by quarterback Stan Ferris; a 25-yard Nyquist field goal; Tim Tranetzki's 63-yard scamper; a nine yard pass to end Bill Rademacher from Nyquist and a pair of Welsh extra points.

The Wildcat attack rolled up a total of 454 yards rushing while Peru was held to 79 yards.

George Nincehelser Receives Medal For Lifesaving George D. Nincehelser received honors at an all-college convocation on Wednesday, Nov. 7. He is credited with saving the life of Mrs. Winnifred Longinaker of Randolph, Iowa, after a Missouri river boating accident last June 17.

Last summer, George was employed by the Army Corps of Engineers to work as a deck hand on the dredge, Meriwether Lewis. The incident took place while George was on the boat, which was docked near Nebraska City.

When asked to comment on the incident, George seemed reluctant to say anything, but finally consented to give this brief account.

"I was off duty at the time, and I was standing on the top deck talking to another deck hand when someone yelled there was a boat in distress. I arrived at the scene just as the motorboat plunged into the Meriwether Lewis and upset. The next few moments I can vaguely remember. I guess I jumped into the water and grasped the lady with one hand and held onto the boat with the other until a rope was dropped to us. I tied the rope around her and she was pulled aboard the dredge."

DELZELL NEWS

By Curtis Nelson Three residents of Delzell have left to do their student teaching in Bellevue. They are Dennis Peterson, Bob Penkava, and Charles Aylor, Ken Dostal and Dick Berlin are doing their student teaching in the campus school.

Mrs. Paradise is now in h e r son's home at Storm Lake, Iowa.

She is reported to be getting bet- · ter day by day. Her address is 816 West 4th Street, Storm Lake, Iowa.

A new washing machine has been purchased by the dorm. It will be installed within the next few days.

We have two new dorm counselors. They are Ben Kernes, who is taking Bob Penkava's place in the ba•ement, and Gary Workman, who is the new counselor on the second floor.

Allen Weber visited Delzell last weekend. He went to school here last year and is planning to return next semester.

A date has been set for Delzell's annual Christmas party. It is to be Dec. 16, at 9 p.m. in the TV room.

It was fairly quiet in the dorm over the Thanksgiving vacation.

Most of the residents went home, leaving the dorm almost deserted.

also five student assistants who work part time.

The duties of the office of Special Services fall into three main headings: public relations and the news bureau, prospective stu-· dents, and alumni.

The responsibilities of Special Services in regard to public relations and the news bureau consist of: releasing press notices, taking pictures, keeping an archive of the history of the college, directing and supervising the duplicating and printing services, printing all the forms used by the college, and publishing and distributing booklet, pictures, folders, and bulletins about the college.

The duties of this office which fall under the second heading, prospective students, are: visiting secondary schools to encourage students to come to Peru, preparing a mailing list to prospective students, maintaining a list of superintendents in the college service area, and arranging student visitations to the campus and acting as host to such groups.

The last main heading, alumni, holds many duties for the office of Special Services. First, Special Services prints the "Peru Stater," a booklet put out by the college for distribution to the alumni. This year 8,000 copies of the booklet are being printed.

Two issues will appear, one this month, and one next May. The office also maintains a file of the names and addresses of former students and graduates. Special Services keeps four completely different files which are arranged according to maiden names, class or year, an alphabetical file, and a mailing list which would be a geographical file. Finally, the office plans and directs activities such as celebrations, conferences, and other events which attract visitors to the campus.

MAJORS HALL

By Richard Elmore ~iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiOiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~'

Mrs. Helen Donovan, Majors Hall housemother, has been having trouble with her eyes swelling. In hopes of curing this, she recently took allergy tests in Omaha. When she received the results of her tests, she f o u n d that her most violent reaction was to oak trees. There are supposed to be 1,000 oaks on the campus.

Second floor has a new counselor. Ed Meyer took Duane Weichelman's position when Duane moved to Auburn for student teaching.

Dan Leuenberger shot his first deer this year. He bagged a fourpoint buck at noon, Nov. 17, near Tecumseh.

Several weeks ago some Majors fellows had some excess adhesive tape, about 10 rolls of it, and decided to put it to good use.

They taped John Soby to his bed.

When they finished, they still had some tape left, so they used

it on Louie Diblasi.

A new fad ,has hit first floorbleaching ha~,· It seems that Tom Bookwalter started the fad when he used some peroxide from his mother's beauty shop. Since then, Bill Scott. Gordon Scott, Lyle Stewart, Larry Giesmann, Rod Baade and Stan Johnson have used it on their hair. Stan's didn't work.

Majors Hall has been producing men for the Marines. Dennis Crissman and Sid Baney signed up for the Marine Corps Reserve PLC program. Cliff Sphon is seriously considering joining. He has already taken the test. They will go to Quantico, Va., for six weeks training beginning J u n e 11. Then, they will spend six more weeks during the summer between their junior and senior years in college. Upon graduation, the fellows will r e c e i v e commissions as second lieutenants in the U. S. Marine Corps· Reserve. John Barton already spent six weeks last summer for the first part of his training.

Majors has quite a few "Bwanas"-great white hunters. Two of them, Sid Baney and John Soby, got two pheasants apiece, November 11, near Douglas. They fired only four shots for the entire day. Some day!

More than 650 Nebraska high school vocal music students will participate in the event, according to Edward G. Camealy, clinic director and associate professor of vocal music at Peru State.

The day-long clinic will be climaxed by a 7:30 p.m. concert by the massed chorus, boys chorus and girls chorus, under the direction of Mr. Imig. In addition to rehearsal sessions beginning at 9 a.m., ensembles will be auditioned during the day for the evening program.

Campus School Commentary Dance Ends Hectic Week If, when crossing the campus, you should encounter a high school student, don't be offended if he doesn't speak. He is probably still dazed over the results of his quarter grades which were distributed last Thursday. However, a Sadie Hawkins dance, sponsored by the Freshman class, was held Friday night, Nov. 16, to revive the students. It, no doubt, had a beneficial effect on the girls, but the boys, after being chased, are probably m ore dazed than ever.

English Go Greek With the passing of the first nine weeks, Prep English classes have concluded their study of Greek literature. The Bible, considered one of the greatest literary works of all time, will be the central theme of English study for the next nine weeks.

photographer were relieved to see the end of a hectic day.

Seniors Swamped As usual, the Senior class is swamped with activities both scholarly and extra-curricular.

They were given a day off to have their Senior pictures taken at the Peterson Studio in Aub· urn. Close on the heels of this bit of freedom came the Regents exam given by the University of Nebraska. The top third of the Senior class participated in this test which took the better part of the day. Tryouts for the class play "The Thursday Murders" to be presented January 17, were held; the participants are awaiting the assignments of the fifteen parts. The play is under the direction of Lonn Pressnall and Sharon Peacock. ,,,.,_

Perhaps I am just seeing things As out the window pane I look, But fancies soon o'ertake my thoughts, Like ice upon a brook.

I wonder why the trees are white Upon this winter's night.

I wonder if a thought or two Would lessen this small plight.

'Twas this time of year long ago, A Child was born in stable bare.

And wise-men came from far away To witness and to stare.

Upon His crib, a mere stable, They placed their gifts to Him, And suddenly all the heavens above Responded with songs of Cherubim.

A bright star appeared o'er East That crisp, cold winter's night.

And shepherds ,witnessed with glowing eyes The wonderously bright light.

And wondered from their hilltop posts Just why the star appeared.

Some knew a Savior was born this night And in their hearts they cheered.

For this small Boy so white and pure Would live to the age of thirty-three.

And during His presence upon the earth Would offer all men eternity.

I 1· .

Perhaps it was a night like this When Christ the Son was born.

And all the whiteness of the trees Shone through the night until the morn.

For nature is God any time of year, And all years are given us by Him. He who long ago in a manger lay, In a stable cold and dim.

The Christmas dance, which Delzell sponsored on Dec. 14, in the Student Center was discussed.

Committees were also planned for it.

After the dorm meeting some of the fellows got a space-saving idea and tried to see how many people they could get in a room.

For awhile room 302 had quite a number of occupants.

The gam,e room has been fairly busy lately. Many fellows enjoy playing ping pong.

The dorm has now taken on a Christmas atmosphere. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the Christmas vacation, 'especially those from far away who are making plans for transportation home.

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Ardith Pratt

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly," and the halls of Morgan have received the full treatment.

The ambitious girls on first have Santa Claus and his eight reindeer sailing down the hall. Everyone interested in candy canes entered the competition for room decorations. Now each room has a personality all its own. Some of the more enthusiastic girls are Susie Sharp and Karen Conrad.

They complain they have so many evergreens in their room they're looking for the forest ranger.

The spirit of giving has begun to haunt the dorm occupants and Peaunt and Shuck exchanges have resulted. What is Peanut and Shuck? Those girls who participate, draw names. The name they draw is their peanut and each day they do something nice for that girl. All of this is kept secret, and the end result is a party to guess who was peanut and shuck.

When we return from vacation one of us will have her M.R.S. degree. Donna Hoeman of Verdon and Duane Elliott of Memphis, Tenn., will be married Friday, Dec. 28.

Congratulations to Linda Jeffers. She is engaged to Ken Sims.

Vacation plans are in the air but none have reached the drawing board. Apparently "nothing" will be the favorite pastime of the majority. Really now, surely something interesting will happen during those glorious two weeks. Eleanor Frandsen, maybe you will bowl a 300 · again, and this time collect the reward.

Good luck to those traveling many miles to be home for the holidays.

To one and all: "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"

The Miracle of Christmas

BY PENNY HAYS Perhaps the strangest event we have in the world today is Christmas. Most of us take it for granted; we never stop to think how unusual it really is.

It is more unusual and m o r e mysterious than radio, aviation, serums, yes, greater than any discoveries science will make in the next ten years, no matter what they are.

No one who really stops to think about Christmas can disbelieve in miracles or in God, the supreme miracle.

We celebrate the birthday of an obscure young carpenter who died 2,000 years ago. This man wrote no book, struck no blow for freedom, had no money, no influential friends, no power at all and was executed for high tr~.ason. Everything he taught then sounded odd-the idea of telling an armed world that the real weapons are meekness and love.

He lived and died in a very

small town. Men with outward appearances somewhat like Him are living and dying unnoticed every day. How was He different?

What was there in that puzzling talk about brotherhood, . forgiveness, and love that dropped such a powerful seed into the simple hearts of His few friends as into ours today.

Why do we decorate our shops with holly and ribbon? Why do we go mad with love and generosity and spend hundreds, when a few weeks ago we were grudging pennies?

Why the stockings, the trees, the "orphan's benefits," the home celebrations? Why are theaters, clubs, and parks all blazing with lights and fragrant with evergreens for His day?

Why, indeed, unless we know or we feel that He was right and that love and service, humanity and forgiveness are the seer~ we are all seeking, the magic formula without which these human hearts of ours will never be satisfied.

Larry Hayes and Tom Yopp paced the Peru State Bobcats to a 75-65 victory over the St. Benedict Ravens Tuesday, December 11, on the losers court.

Peru Alumni Thumps Varsity In Opener, 95-62

BY BARNEY McILVOY

A tall, experienced alumni team ran rough shod over a green and undermanned Peru squad, 95-62, Monday evening, Nov. 26, in the college gym.

With Mike Roach hitting consistently from the outside and Bob Buettgenbach ramming home baskets from in close, the Peru grads left little doubt as to the outcome of the contest, even in the first quarter.

The alumni pulled to a 39-29 halftime lead. Both teams played even in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter the "old college touch" returned to the former Peru stars and it was "goodbye, Bobcats."

Seven grads scored in double figures with Roach and Buettgenbach leading the parade with lS and 17 points, respectively.

Bill Witty scored 17 and Ron Snodgrass 14 for the Bobcats.

Peru played without the services of two regulars, Tom Yopp and Larry Hayes. Both were suffering from sprained ankles. With the return of Yopp and Hayes, and the combined talents of Hamm, Jim Hall, Bill Witty and Ron Snodgrass, Peru can look to brighter days ahead.

Coach Jack Mcintire's Peruvians led throughout most of the first half by scant margins, but it took a last second lay-up by Pat Hamm to give the Bobcats a 23-22 halftime advantage .

In the early stages of the final 20 minutes, Peru State opened up a 37-32 lead, only to see Buena Vista storm back to gain a 44-40 lead. A jump-shot by Tom Yopp put Peru back in front to stay with S:5S left. Hayes canned a'field goal with 6:20 showing on the clock to give the Bobcats a 52-4S ma'rgin and the 'Cats spent the remainder of the evening in a stall.

The second-place finishers' only setback was a close 18-15 loss to the eventual champs in the first game of the season.

A three-way tie for third place developed as a result of final night scores. The Snappers, who had started with a pair of wins, had to settle for a share of third following their consecutive losses to the Crazy S's and the Spider Bugs. The Nebishes rebounded from an insulting 36-6 loss to the

Renovated Library In Daily Use

BY SHARON DONLAN Many months of planning and hard work have terminated as the renovation of the campus library has become a .reality.

The dismantling of the interior of the library began in February, 1962. The contract date was up to October 15, 1962.

The original appropriation was $150,000. This included the building and all the furnishings.

The most difficult part of the remodeling was the entrance and the stairway leading from t h e main floor to the second floor.

Plans of the library were drawn up using the L.A.A. guideline. The guidelines were furnished to the architects to make the drawings. The furniture and equipment were purchased from the Prison Industries.

The old library was meant to house approximately 20,000 volumes but did house 60,000 volumes. Since the remodeling, the capacity is over 100,000.

The library has three floors.

The main portion of the basement is turned over to bound periodicals and the multi-type purpose room. Originally the multi-type purpose room was conceived to house the audio visual department and collections but limited funds ruled this out for the present.

On the main floor is the circulation desk, which is the only control point in the building.

East of the circulation desk is the reference room, south of the circulation desk is the technical processes, and adjacent to both is the main stack tower. West of (Continued on page three)

BY KAREN CONRAD A face that should be familiar to all on the campus is that of Dr. Keith Melvin, Dean of the College. Dr. Melvin came to Peru in November of 1956 from the University of Nebraska, where he was an instructor in the College of Education. Prior to this, he was dean of McCook Junior College from 1946 to 1955, superintendent of schools at Blue Hill for three years, and principal and coach for seven years at Syracuse. His first teaching job was at Upland, where he was coach and instructor in math and science for four years.

Dr. Melvin's primary function is being the administrative assistant to the president. He is also directly responsible for program and instruction. Some of his other duties include assisting the president in statistical administrative research as th e president may direct; acting in lieu of the president during his absences and performing s u ch tasks as may be assigned by the president from time to time; recommending new staff members in cooperation with the heads of d~'­ visions; formulating and presenting policies for the considera: tion of the college faculty, and perhaps the most important, directing the summer session.

Dr. Melvin is originally from Fairbury. He received his A.B. degree from Peru and his"-M.A. and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Nebraska. He has also done graduate work at the University of Denver. Mrs. Melvin is an elementary teacher in Nebraska City. The Melvins have a daughter, Nancy, who is a health counselor in the Denver Public Schools.

cation at Peru State Teachers College Friday morning that he is interested in preserving our system of orderly government in the United States.

Mr. Hall, the subject of a December 8 Saturday Evening Post article, "Battler Against Bigotry," indicated that keeping well informed is the only way to protect oneself against the inroads of "hate organizations."

The lecturer quoted from the "Blue Book" of the so-called, "Conservative" John Birch Society, showing how the methods advocated by John Welch arethe same ones used by the Communists-front organizations, curbing of free speech, undermining parliamentary procedure.

According to Mr. Hall, "The answer is to elevate public opinion to the point where people will begin to reject silly ideas and dangerous ideas because they wilI recognize that this is not the path of progress in the United States."

Mr. Hall conceded that these groups occasionally do tell the truth.

"Like the communist worker tells us we have an unempJoyment problem in Northern Minnesota. Well, of course, we do. I had a man up in Northern Minnesota say to me, 'Are yoU''teHing the communists are wrong when they say there is no unemployment on the iron ranges?'

"Of course, we do," continued Hall, "but their solution is Marxism! I am not interested in Marxism, but in a democratic and orderly change which will relieve the problem."

The speaker pointed to the need for a wide frame of reference so that all of these problems can be fit into a meaningful focus so that you know ab o u t NATO, you know about your own government, you know about the charter of the UN, you know about the Congo.

Mr. Hall conceded that it is difficult to develop all of this, (Continued on page three)

BY ARDITH PRATT Hour by hour and day by day, Placement works continuously to put you Peru Staters on the "highway to opportunity."

By enrolling in placement, a student has access to many services and opportunities which would otherwise not be available. One of the services is the publication of a monthly bulletin during the second semester. This bulletin lists teaching vacancies in the United States. Last ye'\r over 2,175 schools advertised far teachers through this office. Of the 516 Nebraska schools, 272 reported to Peru Placement. One hundred of the reported positions were filled by 1962 Peru graduates.

'Placement acts as a go-between for the employer and the prospective employee. Placement arranges interviews when hiring employers are on the campus.

When credentials are needed, again Placement lends a helping hand. Placement assembles and prepares photostatic credentials, and sends the credentials to employers requesting them. These credentials are kept confidential and up-to-date. Last year, Placement processed over 1,300 sets of credentials.

When the student leaves Peru, he takes Placement with him. If he has been enrolled in Placement, he may at any time call upon the bureau service. Many long-time alumni have secured jobs through this office.

Placement is not restricted to teaching jobs. Information from the U. S. Employment Office, the Nebraska Employment Offices and the Civil Service Bureau is posted on the bulletin boards.

This information covers the fields of industry, business, and trades.

Information concerning summer jobs is also available.

Placement is for you, me, and everyone. Placement welcomes the opportunity to help the students in any way they can. If you need a place in life, try Placement!

National Defense Student Loans, according to Peru State President Neal S. Gomon.

As a result of the grant, $2,500 will be made available to worthy and needy students as the federal government will make funds available on a nine to one matching basis.

The McDonald F o u n d at i on grant is made annually to all Nebraska colleges participating in the NDSL program. The Foundation is headed by J. M. McDonald, Jr., with Val Peterson, former governor of Nebraska, as vice president and administrator.

Under " the NDSL program, preference for loans is given to students with a "superior academic background who express a desire to teach in elementary and secondary schools," and "to students -iVhose academic background fo.dicates a superior capacity or preparation in science, mathematics or a foreign language."

All loans are based on financial need and are without interest until one year after graduation after which time the rate will be three per cent per annum on unpaid balances. Repayment o f principal is to be 10 per cent per year, beginni~g one year after eompletion of training and military service. · The loan and interest thereon, of any borrower who serves as a full-time teacher in public . elementary or secondary school will be cancelled to a maximum of 50 per cent, at the rate of 10 per cent of the amount of the loan plus interest, for each academic year of service.

I. A. Club Visits Nuclear Power Plant On Friday, Jan. 11, eighteen members of the Industrial Arts Club and Mr. Russell and Mr. Granger journeyed to Hallam, Nebraska, to view the world's first full-scale nuclear power plant employing a sodium-graphite reactor.

The facility was built jointly by funds coming from Consumers Public Power and the United States Atomic Energy Commission.

The new power plant can produce enough electricity for a city of 100,000.

The plant employs two different means for turning the giant generators-steam produced by heating water with coal, and steam produced by heating water with nuclear fission. At the present time, the conventional method is being used because the nuclear facility is still undergoing final construction and testing phases. It is expected to be in full production later this year.

The plant employs 175 people.

Total cost of the project including research, development, engineering and construction was $76,000,000.

A Tll0UGll1: FOR 'l'HE NEW YEAR I thank God that I live in these United States-a country so powerful it can easily defend my home, family, and friends, against any aggressor. A country governed by a system much superior to any other type. A land that is rich enough to help support others who are not as fortunate as we. A land that is rich in natural resources, enough to last hundreds of years. A land that grows more food than we can eat. A land so beautiful that everyone in the whole world is envious of us. A land that is·overflowing with opportunity, a place for every talent. A country filled with people who are happy, happy to be here instead of some other place.

Let's start this new year out right by thanking God fo1· what we have. Let's continue through the year constantly thanking Him for His blessings. Let's forgive our enemies.

May they become our friends. Let's forget about what we haven't got and thank Him for what we've got.

IS THIS YOU? Have you ever sat in the cafeteria and watched your fellow students eat? If you are from a farm, you might have noticed a dramatic resemblance between this occurrence and that well known feature of farm living called slopping the hogs. , Napkins tucked under chins, elbows on tables, silverware held like machetes-these are some of the characteristics of our Peru State "chow hounds."

Students should have more self-pride and realize that these actions make bad impress~ons of our campus. Maybe it does take a little longer to eat 'ii. meal properly and mannerly, but the fact remains that the little things you do now have a lot to do with how you will act later on.

Correct eating habits are merely a matter of concentration and carefulness. If all of us become more aware of our conduct in the cafeteria, we will show more respect to our school, and will present better examples to those who judge us.

A REASON FOR ALARM Recent incidents on Peru State's campus have caused much concern to the college administration and to dormitory officers alike. For example, the incident in Majors Hall when a bed was thrown out the window probably brought many laughs to the offenders at the time, but had they stopped and taken time to realize the damage they did, they probably would have used better judgment. · they probably would have used better judgment.

This act, which cannot even be attributed to those of high school age, shows a lack of common sense by someone.

Before we attempt something of this nature in the future, let's stop and think of some of the hardships it is going to cause, and also of some of the penalties the act will bring if we are caught. It isn't such an appealing idea after all, is it?

Another incident of great concern was the theft of records, and of an electric razor from Delzell Hall sometime during the Christmas vacation. It was reported an estimated $108 worth of record albums was taken from one room. This act, which was without doubt profitable to the thief, presents quite a problem to students who live in the various dormitories. Whom can you trust? Is your roommate honest? What would your next door neighbor do if he had the chance? Did your best friend find his way into your room and accidentally find something of yours before it was lost?

Fortunately, for most of us, we have great trust in our roommates and our friends and can trust them. Ill most cases the offender is probably someone who holds a grudge or is pretty hard-up for money. It seems the only thing to do when you leave your room at any time is to lock the door.

Who knows, the phantom may find his way to your room next?

The third incident that has caused quite a stir is the stealing of clothes hangers from the Student Center. Although these hangers are marked, and it is not too hard for Student

What floor had the fake fire ~

Mrs. Helen Donovan, Majors' housemother, received her new General Electric stereo. Her Christm~s present from the Majors men was money for records, and she is making good use of the present.

Bruce Francey has had some of the fellows wondering when they first walk into his room. A full Seagram decanter is prominently displayed on his shelf. Bruce claims it is really filled with pop corn oil. He has even put a sign on the bottle telling unbelievers to taste the contents, if they don't believe him.

Congratulations to Jay DuVal and Bruce Francey. They w i 11 graduate at the end of this semester.

Larry (Boat) Johnson has a picture of Elvis Presley on his bulletin board. For further information on this, talk to "Boat."

Skip Ogle and Joe Perina are just two of the Majors men who have be.en running their heaters full time. The cold weather is not really appreciated by most of the fellows.

Don 1t Pity Me;

I Am An American (Continued from page one) school that Susie and I attended, and through the Anglo-American square dances for which Daddy called. We all lived our lives in a glass cage. In turn, we were studied and ignored, criticized and praised. Finally, near the end of the tour, we were accepted as members of the English community.

All of this came at a time when I was beginning to grow up and understand the world in which I lived: I saw my country presented to the English people in both a favorable and unfavorable light.

Somehow, while I was stillquite young, I learned to know Amer" ica. I knew it only as one c a n know something after he h a s backed away from close contact and taken a long look.

Still, I was only thirteen, and young girls tend to push such matters to the backs of their minds. Then, sitting at the assembly, years later, I remembered what I had said to my mother when we were finally back "Stateside" and traveling across country.

"Mommy, it all looks so bright and modern and free. I love America."

"Yes, Mary, we all do. We're very lucky to live here."

Now I was beginning to understand why I felt so proud. If only those words could make everyone who heard them feel the same way. Perhaps they did.

I am not the only one who loves America.

Yes, it means so much. "I am an American; don't pity me!"

An attractive feature of the new library is the first floor column windows which set off the shelving arrangement. There are two scetions of double faced shelving coming out six feet from the wall and wainscot high.

The only awards given to this team are self-satisfaction and an opportunity to imp r o v e one's physical fitness. The students have a good time and. they also serve a purpose for the school.

Besides halftime entertainment at basketball games, the squad will give lectures and short demonstrations to high schools.

Much time and energy has been put into the gymnastics program. This includes working on equipment and cleaning an d building any material that can be made into gym apparatus.

Board and room charges at Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru will be increased $9 a semester beginning with the 1963 fall term, according to President Neal S. Gomon. Proportionate increases will also prevaili for the 1963 summer sessions. The increase is necessitated by rising costs in dormitory operation and maintenance. The i n c re a s e amounts to 50 cents a week and all will be allocated to dormitory funds. N o increase in board charges is contemplated at this

time. Beginning in September, 1963, the board and room charge will be $289 a semester with board on a 5-day basis.

A change in policy of board and room payments will also be in effect with the total board and room payment due on registration day.' In unusual circumstances individual students may apply for deferment of not to exceed one-half of the board and room until mid-way in the semester.

All applications for first admission to the college must be accompanied by a $10 tuition nonrefundable deposit, which will be applied to tuition charges when student actually enrolls.

Board and Room Costs To Increase

Season Recap

Center unneceg;:

Three years ago Wheeler came west facing the task of pulling the Bobcats out of the athletic doldrums where they had languished through four campaigns, except for a brief excursion into the basketball spotlight.

The extraction promised to be a long and painful process. Peru had been cuffed around at random in football and even basketball was still a problem, despite a success preview before Coach Stu Baller departed for Omaha university.

Wheeler's first move was to order an obituary for the school's defeatist complex. Next came a transfusion of new spirit into the student body.

"We had to build a desire to win before ever thinking of btilding a team," he explained.

"That was one of the hardest jobs."

The state college record book since 1938 substantiates the practical success of Wheeler's formula. As for the "artistic" angle, rival coaches agree emphatically that current Bobcat editions lack no desire for victory.

Peru's football renaissance was not achieved overnight. The Bobcats still showed traces of grogginess during Wheeler's first year and won only one game. But in basketball they rolled along prosperity road, winning the N.I.A.A. championship, reaching the semifinal round in the National Intercollegiate tournament at Kansas City, Mo., and finishing a great campaign with 22 victories in 27 games.

BY LARRY RATHE The annual Alumni-Varsity game opened the 1962-63 basketball season on November 26. The bigger and more experienced alumni turned the game into a rout as they defeated the varsity, 95-62. In the first regular season game the Bobcats played host to Buena Vista College. Although out-manned greatly, the Peru team turned in a defensive gem and defeated "the Iowans 62-50.

The following day, the Peruvians traveled to Simpson College to take on the Simpson quintet.

It was a long night for the Bobcats as the fast breaking I ow a team walked away with an 88-61 win. On December 4, Peru journeyed to Tarkio, Missouri, to encounter the Tarkio Owls. The Bobcats again hit a night of cold shooting and took their second defeat in a row 71-54.

On December 7, Peru entertained the Omaha U. Indians on the Peru maples. A gallant Peru State team nearly erased a 14point deficit, but fell one point short as Omaha U n i v e r s i t y copped an 84-83 decision. The loss ended a 17-gariie Peru St ate home winning streak. The following evening the Bobcats suffered their fourth straight loss as they were nipped by Morningside College of Iowa 82-76.

Peru finally broke its victory drouth by winning away from home at St. Benedict's expense.

The Peruvians again turned in a fine defensive game in a 75-65 victory. Back on the victory road, the Bobcats won their second in a row as they defeated tall and talented Northwest Missouri State. The fine ball club from Maryville, Missouri, was never out of the game but could never quite overtake the Bobcat lead as Peru defeated them 79-72.

BOBCAT CHATTER By Pai Hamm Coach Jack Mcintire and Co. are on the right road to repeat as NCC basketball champions. They started conference play by whipping Kearney, 84-60.

Kearney's Second Loss The defeat was Kearney's second in conference play. Doane whipped the Antelopes earlier 78-64. The Bobcats played at Doane last weekend.

Wayne Has Edge The way things stand at present, Wayne has a slight edge over the Bobcats. This is because of the fact that the Wildcats have already whipped Chadron twice, at Chadron! Chadron is known to be tough to beat on their home court. The Bobcats have yet to go to Chadron. Thus Wayne has the edge.

On December 20, the Peru Staters evened their record at 4-4 as they took a close one from Washburn University by a score of 60-54. Washburn was in the game all the way, but seemingly was hindered by a great deal of substituting by the Washburn coach.

In the Mid-America Tourney at Fairfield, Iowa, the Bobcats broke their three-game winning streak by being defeated by Parsons College of Fairfield. Peru, th e champions of this tourney just a year ago, was hampered by the loss of star guard Tom Yopp, and was beaten easily, 77-51. The following night in a game for t h e third place trophy, Peru, with the services of Yopp, defeated Lewis College 76-69.

Washburn Becomes Bobcats Fourth Victim, 60-54 Washburn University's s 1 ow moving, pattern working quintet Thursday found it impossible to cope with Peru State Teachers College's speed and suffered d 54-60 basketball defeat in Peru.

With their run and shoot game keeping the Ichabods~from Topeka, Kans., off balance, Peru State capitalized from the free throw line to annex. their fourth win in eight collegiate starts and their third in succession.

For the third game in a row, Larry Hayes, senior forward from Auburn, paced the Peru attack with 16 points. Freshman Bi 11 Witty, Syracuse, chipped in with 15 counters to second Hayes.

Washburn's attack was led by Jerry Williams' 14 points.

Bobcats Cop Third In Mid-America Tourney Peru State Teachers College failed in defense of their 1961 Mid-America Tournament crown at Fairfield, Iowa, last week, losing their Thursday opener to host Parsons College, 77-51. The Peruvians came back on Friday night to gain consolation honors in the four team tourney by handing Lewis College of Lockport,_ Ill., a 76-69 defeat.

In the championship game, Parsons took a hair-raising 70-68 decision over McKendree College of Lebanon, lll. McKendree downed Lewis 70·50 in the ·tourney opener.

Peru's first round 77-51 defeat by eventual champ Parsons resulted from ragged and frigid Bobcat play. Coach Jack Mcintire' s charges stayed close to Parsons during the first half, trailing 28-32 at the intermission.

Parsons spread their advantage to 10 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half and then exploded with eight points in the next 90 seconds to open a commanding 60-42 lead with some eight minutes remaining.

Parsons guard Roger Sherrard led the game iceing explosion with three fielders in a 35 second span. Sherrard led game scoring with 20 points.

With victory out of reach, Peru State reserves finished out the final eight minutes of the game.

Ron Snodgrass, Seward, paced Peru's attack with 14 points.

Key to the Bobcat loss w a s their inability to hit from either the field or charity stripe. Peru State hit only 28.6 per cent from the field and 42.2 per cent from the line.

Five men, paced by Bill Witty's 22 points, scored in the double figures to spark Peru's 76-69 third place win over Lewis College. Rebounding from their dismal Thursday night night performance, Peru State 1 o o k e d sharp in the win though never in commanding position till late in the tilt.

The Mcintiremen broke fast and led throughout the early stages before a six minute scoring drouth gave Lewis a 26-20 lead after Peru had commanded 20-16.

Three fielders by Bill Witty, Syracuse, in the final stages of the first half keyed a Bobcat surge which sent them into the rest period leading 31-29.

The lead changed hands six times and the score was tied once in the second half before

The win gives the Nebraska College Conference Peru Bobcats a record of two wins and one loss against C:entral Intercollegiate Conference foes. Previously, Peru had lost a one-point decision to Omaha University and won a 10-point victory over St. Benedict's College.

In Thursday night's action, Peru could not take the lead to stay until well into the second half.

During the first 20 minutes the two teams fashioned seven ties and exchanged the lead on s i x occasions. After jumping into a five point, 30-25 advantage just before the half, Peru faltered and Washburn edged the halftime score to 30-29.

Coach Jack Mcintire, his Peru State Teachers College basketball team now five and five, has reason to hope for better things as the 1962-63 hardwood season heads into 1963. After losing four of their first five starts, the Peruvians came back with four wins in their last five outings.

Stemp Stays Busy

BY PAT HAMM Jerry Stemper has been serving Peru as head track coach, assistant football, basketball coach, and intramural director since 1954. Along with these many duties, he carries a full teaching load. One semester he taught algebra and human growth.

"Stemp" was born in David City, Nebraska. Later, his family moved to Bellwood, Nebr., where he went to high school.

Before graduating from Bellwood High, Stemp starred on the basketball team. He didn't play football because he was too small!

Upon graduation, he enrolled at Kearney State Teachers College. Having no high school football experience, Stemp went out at Kearney and earned two letters. "I might add," said Stemp, "we whipped the pants off Peru too." (We'd better ask Al Wheeler about that) Jerry was graduated from Kearney in 1944. From there he went to the service for 33 months and saw overseas duty.

After completing his service hitch in 1946, Jerry got his first coaching job in Table Rock, Nebraska. While he was at Table Rock, Jerry married his wife, Elsie, in August of 1947. He coached at Table Rock for four years, and then signed at Peru Prep in 1950.

He coached at Prep until 1954, when he took the position he now holds in the college.

Stemp has coached football, basketball and track. He has had many fine seasons in all, but expresses a preference for track.

His four years of coaching track at Table Rock produced three conference winners and a runnerup spot in the state meet. His best football seasons were 8-0 and 7-1.

The Stempers now have five fine children. They are Steve, 13; Bonnie, 10; Dave, 8; Donna, 5; and Debbie, 3.

The only time we could interview Stemp was after some intramural basketball games in the coaches' dressing room. He had five minutes to dress, take a shower, and get to a meeting.

Such is the life of a coach.

NEWBLOOfi The current Ped staff has had a tremendous transfusion of new blood4lmost enough to drown it. Right now, there are twenty reporters, every single one of them inexperienced.

Of seven editors, only Tom Aitken is experienced.

This condition is caused by a number of things: Lack of a minor in journalism, which makes it impossible for students to take much journalism; the professional semester, which frequently drains off trained talent when it is needed most; then, of course, graduation, and the pressing ne~d to complete required courses.

This is not an apology. It is a statement of fact. If the Ped isn't as good as we'd like for an issue or two, hang on.

The Ped will get better. Some of the finest kids and best students in the college are on the staff. They will be good just as soon as they have had a· decent chance to find out what they are supposed to be doing.

-S. P. L. TIIE FIGHTING BOBCATS This year's basketball team and Coach Mcintire deserve a lot of praise. As the season opened, only Tom Yopp of last year's great starting five 'was left. There was no height, no depth, no experience. Prospects were anything but good. But Mcintire had faith in his squad. "We are still champions," he said, "until somebody beats us."

As this is being written, the Bobcats have a 4-0 record in the NCC. Those who saw the Wayne scramble, which could hardly be called basketball, saw the Bobcats defeat a top rated team with more size and experience. The victory was a result of sheer hustle and self control on the part of the Peruvians, who tried to play basketball while Wayne was making 34 personal fouls and two technical fouls.

It is too early to predict another championship for McIntire's squad, but the boys have come a long way, and they never-repeat never-stop hustling. Would anyone like to bet that this isn't another championship team?

MAJORS HALL

By Keith Grimes Last Thursday, Jan. 31, about 1:00 A. M. the fire alarm was set off, causing mass confusion on

each floor at Majors Hall. Thanks to Dean Stapelton, things were well in hand after a few minutes, Evidently someone thought it was time for a Majors Hall fire drill.

Skip Ogte anti Joe Perina are two of the Majors men who were "very fortunate" to move to the International Skid Row floor. International Skid Row welcomes them whole heartedly and wishes them a merry stay. For the people who do not know what the International Skid Row is, it is the basement floor at Majors.

Last Thursday, "January 29, the basement floor had a little heat trouble, it seemed as though the thermostat was running a bit cold. But thanks to Dick Travers, and a little friendly persuasion, the matter was taken care of.

The Spring semester has just

begun and Majors Hall has received a number of new students.

The men of Majors welcome: Bob Beck, Jim Brenn, Mike Damiano, Larry Durrie, Bill Essman, Kelvin McCauley, Larry Piper, Leonard Schipper, Roger Slaughter, Fred Wademan, Fred Rimmer, and Mike Steffen.

This semester Majors H a 11 dorm council has selected two new floor counselors, one in the basement, replacing Bruce Francey; and the other on first floor, replacing Jay DuVal. The two new floor counselors are D o n Schmidt and Skip Ogle.

Roger Slaughter has part of a DeKalb sign in his room, a n d Ed (Tug) Myer has the other part. For further information on this subject please see either Tug Myer or Roger Slaughter.

seems that they have been swallowed up in the rush of registration and new classes. The halls of Morgan are unusually quiet.

Even the enthusiastic freshmen have settled down to books and study-for a while!

The new semester has brought other changes too. Some of the girls, like Carol Curd, Dorothy Drubek, Dorothy Bock and Barbara Gordon have changed roommates and moved-- •to different floors. Morgan is also welcoming Phyllis Mosley and Janice Fletcher back to Peru and saying hello to five new girls.

On the first floor, the new faces are Mary Parmenter, Northboro, Iowa; Sharon Furnas, Auburn, Nebr., and Sue Ellen Reilly, North Attleboro, Mass. On second floor they're saying Hi to Carol Mead, Nebraska City, Nebr., and Susan Stall, of Omaha, Nebr.

What do they like especially?

Sue Ellen is partial to dancing; Sharon likes blue, especially blue eyes; Mary is a happy gal and likes "everything in general"; Susan goes in for swimming; and Carol's special interest is her fiance, Marty Daffer.

A common comment · is that everyone here is "so friendly."

To prove this point, there have been various small study breaks when the gals get together and share pop and conversation.

What is the excitement in the basement rooms? It seems that Kay Bender had some clay left over from art class and Janice Wilkenson, Karen Behrends, Barbara Thompson, and Linda Bartels have been having fun with the new "pet snake." Do you ;have your first aid kits handy,

BY BILL BLISS Peru won the battle of the conference leaders by knocking off Wayne State 69 to 56 in a wild and wooly game Saturday night, Fehr. 2. A capacity crowd sat in as a total of 58 fouls were called, thirty-four on the visiting Wildcats. The win put Pei u on top with a 4-0 record. Wayne drops to second with a 5-1 mark.

Hustle played a big part in the triumph, as the shorter Bobcats handed Wayne its first conference setback. Freshman center Ron Snodgrass, 6'7", had 18 points to lead the Peruvians.

Coach Jack Mcintire's charges were six down in the opening quarter before they were able to tally. With 12:25 left on the clock, Larry Hayes' jumper put Peru on top 13-12. Two free throws by Snodgrass upped it to 15-12, and lhe 'Cats were in the lead to stay. Peru maintained a seven and nine point lead throughout the first half, and a bucket just

before halftime upped the margin to 36-26 at intermission.

Wayne, led by ace Dennis Johnson, rallied for eight straight points at the start of the second half. Tom Yopp's free throw and lay-up and two free throws by Snodgrass padded the margin to 41-34. Johnson's jump shot cut the lead to 45-42. A Yopp jump shot and a Snodgrass lay-up put the 'Cats out of reach. Peru hit eight of thirty-two field goal attempts and were seventeen for thirty-two from the line. Wayne fared even worse in these departments.

Five Wayne and two Peru players left the game via personal fouls. In addition, two technicals were called on the Wayne bench.

Lack of offensive rebounding and free throw shooting hampered Peru, while excessive fouling and poor shooting percentage stymied the Wildcats.

We're Nutty Too

BY RICHARD BERTHOLD Three groups, consisting o f fourteen Peruvians, attempted the fifty mile hike in accord with President Kennedy's plea for physical fitness on Fehr. 15 and 16. Blisters, sore feet, and aching muscles were felt within a few miles l)y .rno~.t of :.th~ hikerp.

The first group leaving Nebraska City at 10:20 p.m. Saturday were: Jim Tonniges, Jim Green, Boyd Wood, George Nowak, Jim Minor, Charles Pratt, and Richard Berthold. Between Dunbar and Syracuse, a welcome meal was waiting for them. All seven thanked the Syracuse police f o r arranging the meal. Around 2:30 a.m. some began to fall behind when Ken Olson went running by pulling Brenda McCarthy in a wagon. This was the most embarrassing thing because they had a two hour start on Ken and Brenda.

At 11:15 p.m. Saturday two wagons began the hike. Mike Hunt and Ken Boatman pulled Karen Quinn and Sharon Richardson over the cold route. The four Peruvians t w i s t e d and played for photographers a n d curiosity-seekers. They reached Lincoln around 4:30 Saturday afternoon and KLMS Radio unit furnished transportation to the Governor's Mansion. Instead of touring the mansion that evening, they waited and enjoyed a party themselves.

The most outstanding feat was performed by Ken Olson an d Brenda McCarthy. Ken, running with Brenda in a wagon, left Nebraska City about 12:10 a.m. Saturday. George Nowak of the first group reached Lincoln minutes ahead of Ken and Brenda. Dick Floerchinger started with the two but after reaching Syracuse sore feet took over. Steve Parker w a s waiting with a car. Ken stated he would have run back if it were not for a sore toe!

Saturday afternoon, many Peruvians welcomed the weary hikers at Lincoln. Governor Morrison personally directed a t o u r through part of the Governor's Mansion. A Peru sweatshirt w a s given Mr. Morrison.

Honor~d

An all-college convo was held February 20, 1963, to give recogc nition to those students having received honors for scholastic achievement for the first semester of 1962-63.

Mr. Robert D. Moore, Head of the Division of Language Arts, opened the convo with a few introductory remarks. He stressed that three things are needed to make a college great: a trained and dedicated faculty, a wellequipped library, and a student body ready to put forth a great effort.

Mr. Moore introduced the Dean of the College, Dr. Keith Melvin.

Before giving out the awards, Dr. Melvin spoke on the importance of scholarship and education. He compared education to a bank, saying that if you put something into it, you can draw something out of it.

In the course of talk, he defined college as a place of learning for the mind and the spirit, an atmosphere, and a tradition.

The price of success in college depends upon four categories: study, classes, work, and leisure.

Each must be given due consideration for success.

In conclusion, Dean Melvin read the names of the students on the Dean's Honor Roll, as they came forward and were recognized. Of these forty-seven students 1 eleven were on the high distinction list and thirty-six on the distinction list.

The students on the high distinction list are: Sharon Earl, Dorothea Fink, Harvey Fisher, Mary Graham, Nancy Houchin, Judy Hunzeker; Janis Mayer, C. Lynn McCann, Samuel Rankin, Larry Swett, William Witty.

Queen Jan Jan Beemer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Beemer of Bedford, Iowa, reigned as the Queen of Hearts, at Cupid's Frolic Feb- ~·· ruary 11. She captured the hearts ' of her "subjects," including that . , ·,. of the King, Vincent Sabatinelli, as they were presented during_ the coronation ceremonies at 10 p.m. in the Student Center.

A graduate of Bedford Community High School, Jan is somewhat accustomed to t h e limelight. As a freshman, she was F.F.A. Sweetheart, and was a member of the Valentine Royalty as a senior. Her other high school activities included the following: band, cheerleader, girls basketball, track and softball, F.H.A., chorus, Y Teens, class plays, class officer in her freshman year, and Worthy Advisor of her Rainbow Chapter.

MORGAN HALL

By Mary Holland Where were the co-eds w h e n the lights went out? Morgan Hall experienced a sort of power failure and girls like Carol Curd, Sue Ellen Reilly and Linda Bartels were searching wildly f o r candles. They seemed to think that candlelight studying is romantic, somehow. Are you trying to make like Abraham Lincoln, gals? Perhaps one of you will be our first lady president.

Dorothy Drubek is recovering slowly but surely from the bumps and bruises she received at the Newman Club skating party.

Asked what she thought about her first time on roller skates, she commented, "Help! Unlike ice skates, they roll!"

Sharon Furnas, Mary Parmenter, and Ann Epley had a geography studying party. Anyone trying to enter the room found the floor covered with maps, atlases and study notes. The password may well have been, "What is the definition of a landmark?" instead of, "Who goes there?"

Mary swears that she will dream of islands, bays and plateaus for some time now.

A new form of language from the play 1984 has invaded the dorm. It is called Newspeak. One of the most dire threats that Dorothy Bock can impose on one of her friends is, "I shall turn y o u into an unperson for that form of crime think!"

Morgan Hall was turned into a flower garden of reds, whites, and various pastels as the gals prepared for the Valentine's dance. Two days later, it blossomed for real when Pinky Lewellyn received her long stemmed roses. Room 120 also saw many callers who wanted to "take a sniff" of the dozen red roses there.

DELZELL HALL

By Ronald Rist Delzell Hall salutes its journeyers. Richard Berthold, Boyd Wood, Jim Minor, Jim Green, Jim Tonniges, Charles Pratt, a n d George Novak were the Delzell residents who made history f o r Peru State. This great event took place on February 16, 1963. These men journeyed, on foot, from Nebraska City to .Lincoln. They started at Nebraska City at 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning and all managed the 54 mile trip. T h e

over-all average for this walk was 12 hours. The journeyers were picked up at Lincoln and they were driven back to Peru.

We, in Delzell, are fortunate enough to have a king in our dorm. Vincent Sa'batinelli was crowned king at the Valentine Dance on Monday, February 11.

Congratulations, King Vincent.

The Delzell. boys competed in table tennis, chess, and pool in the recreation tournament in the Student Center.

Dave Barns is a new resident of Delzell Hall. His name w a s left out of the last issue.

Several residents moved o u t of Delzell Hall. William Murphy, William Quilty, and Mike Smacgz moved to Majors Hall. Others who moved were: Bob Lierz, Louis Mathieu, and Norman. Sorge. Jim Wheeler is commuting.

By Keith Grimes Last Saturday, Febr. 16, Dan Leuenberger, a Majors m an , walked from Peru to his home town, Tecumseh. The distance is about 40 miles. The jaunt took Dan from 4:00 Saturday morning to 2:00 Saturday afternoon. The men of Majors congratulate Dan. Last Tuesday, Febr. 19, John Moore, an ex-Majors man visited the old dorm. Last year John roomed with Roger Slaughter.

John is a sophomore at the University of Nebraska.

Roy Broadbrooks is hospitalized in Beatrice, Nebr. Majors men wish him speedy recovery.

Bernie Lorimar has just returned after a weeks illness. It seems as though the flu bug got the best of him.

Majors Hall welcomes th re e new residents, Mike Smagacz, Bill Quilty, and Bill Murphy.

Dean Stapleton, senior, has signed a teaching contract at Huntington Beach, California.

Congratulations, Dean.

The nurse's office, evidently, not the only sick bay on campus.

It seems as though Mrs. Donavon has turned room 117, at Majors, into a sick bay also.

It seems as though Spring has sprung at Majors Hall. Tuesday, Febr. 19, a few of the Majors men got ambitious enough to start a srriall game of touch football on the "Oak Bowl" football field.

Also, I happened .to see Harold Choate at the other end of the football field, teaching Janette Fox how to use a golf club.

The Froebes then returned to the U. S. and lived a couple of years in California. From there, they were transferred to Tucson, Arizona and frequently visited Mexico. After that her fathi;r receiv.ed a Department of State appointment to study foreign languages in Washington, D. C. At the age of thirteen, Pam and the rest of her family moved to Zaragoza, Spain, where they spent four years. In those four years they met many people from different countries and Pam stayed often in the homes of foreign families. She stayed with a family in Munich, Germany.

During the summer she stayed with a family in the French Riviera. Pam spent private vacations in other parts of Spain during the winter and summer. They visited Switzerland, the Tangiers, and Gibralter.

While in Spain, they had interesting experiences such as hosting a ball for the crown prince of Spain, Juan Carlos; and making the movie of a story about the base which was released all over Europe. Her father was in that movie.

They spoke Spanish fluently in the home and school, and during

her three-fourths of a year back in the United States, she has found it difficult to speak English. After leaving Europe, sh e moved to Dayton, Ohio, which she considers to be her home and where she completed her h i g h school education.

During the summer, she toured America becoming re-acquainted with its old customs and such current practices as the twist, tennis shoes, and sweat shirts.

After this tour, she became a Peruvian.

Charlie's hobbies include writing poetry and stories with which she would like to make a partial living, meeting and studying people, and reading foreign novels.

After completing two years at Peru, she plans to round out her travels with a year in the Orient working for Pan American Airlines.

Valentine's Day with its colorful motifs and excitement ha s gradually given way to the less spectacular but necessary lessons in the elementary school. In the Campus School Mrs. Christ's room boasts an eye-catching bulletin board of red, white, and blue with the words, "Fabulous February," extolling the important days of the month.

The fourth-fifth grade combination, under the supervision of Mrs. Iversen, is studying Holland, and the room reflects the Dutch influence.

Girls going from door to door is a common sight. These girls are F.H.A. members collecting for the March of Dimes and Heart Drive.

Dr. Wininger's Human Growth classes are invading the Campus School. The college students perform a regular cloak and dagger routine as they try to observe some child and keep the c hi 1d from knowing he is being observed. Miss Grush's room seems to be a popular observing port.

Mr. R. T. Benford and Mrs. Maryon Adams, music supervisor, are beginning to practice for the elementary operetta which will be produced in April. Mr. Benford has written the operetta, and it is called "Mrs. Melody Entertains."

Home Economics Serves Martha Washington Tea The Annual Martha Washington Tea, sponsored by the Home Economics Club, was held Thursday, February 21, at the T. J. Majors Campus School. Mrs. Ina Sproul, Home Economics sponsor for the event, said that th e r e were over fifty guests who attended during the afternoon.

A patriotic theme was .carried out by the various decorations.

The first was the centerpiece-a hat box decorated with frosting in the shape of a drum. The fruit cake was served from this. Winnie Sporer, Elaine Gerdes, and Linda Stephens were in charge of decorating it. Sugar cubes for the tea table were decorated in red and blue by Lois Layden.

The theme was carried out further in the pyramid floral arrangement consisting of blue and white chrysanthemums accented by red candles.

Serving coffee, tea, and cake at the table were Charlotte Wheeler, Judi Wolf, and Winnie Sporer. Hostesses for the afternoon were, Mar,y Schlange and Elaine Gerdes. Ruth Rulla and Glenda Rima were in charge of the guest book. Individual fruit cakes were sold during the tea. Cheryl Berner, Sharon Peacock, and Cyn~ thia Meier did the selling.

Faculty Rejects IAA Proposal A new teachers' retirement plan was voted down Febr. 25, 1963. The Teachers' Insurance Annuity Association presented the plan. At a meeting of the faculty Monday, the plan was unanimously rejected.

Freeman B. Decker, state coordinator of teachers' colleges, had proposed the plan. k committee made up of faculty members had studied the plan an d listed their objections. The chief objection was that there is only a 2% return on the investment.

When put to a vote, the faculty backed the committee unanimously.

This plan would replace t h e present plan and is compulsory.

With the present plan a teacher may quit and draw his money, but not so with the new one.

Over 1,000 schools have voted on the TIAA plan and accepted it. The other State Teachers' Colleges are to vote on this plan.

Several other schools in the state have already accepted the program.

Iowa State Professor Speaks In Convocation Dr. Wilbur L. Layton was the featured speaker at an all-college convocation on Wednesday, Febr. 27. Dr. Layton is head of the department of pyschology at Iowa State University.

Dr. Layton's topic was differential psychology, which he defined as "individual differences of behavior among man and animals."

Immediately following convocation, a question and answer session with Dr. Layton was held in the college auditorium.

All interested persons were invited to attend. Another such session was held at 12:50 that afternoon.

He joined Mr. Van Zant enroute to the latter.

The theme of AASA was "Keep Pace with Space." The purpose of the meeting was to bring new insights, new concepts, n e w knowledge, and new inspiration to the heads of school systems and their associates. Some of the "courses" consisted of presentations and interpretations of resarch findings; some dealt with general and special aspects of school and college curriculums; and still others attempted to analyze new instructional methods and new materials for improved learning.

In addition, a magnificent laboratory on new school building ideas, equipment, and facilities for learning was available for examination. Mr. Vanzant said that more than three million dollars was spent in providing these displays.

Among the speakers at the AASA convention was Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice-President of the United States.

Plans Under Way For Scholastic Meet A committee met Tuesday, March 5, to work out details of administering this year's Interscholastic Contest for area high schools. The contest will be held Friday, March 22, 1963.

'Cats Squeak By Wayne 61-60 To ·3rd NAIA Championship

BY BOB PECK Peru State gained a 61-60 basketball victory over Wayne State Teachers as the Bobcats won the District 11 NAIA championship for the third straight year. Bill Hunsaker provided the Bobcats with the victory by dropping in a field goal with 15 seconds of the overtime to go.

Bobcats Jack Rinne and Ron Snodgrass added the one t w o punch to Wayne in the first half as Rinne collected half of Peru's score and Snodgrass did a tremendous job of rebounding. Rinne had help in the scoring column as Bill Witty provided the Bobcats with eight big points.

Wayne led the Bobcats early in the game but Peru came on strong as they picked up momentum in the later minutes of the first half. Peru led Wayne at halftime 26-18 as the student body of Peru gave the Bobcats a rousing cheer as they left th e floor.

The Bobcats widened their first

half lead to 13 but saw a determined Wayne State crew dwindle the point margin. Students from both schools enjoyed many anxious moments as the game drew tighter. Wayne tied the game at 51-all at the end of the regulation play. In the overtime.

Wayne jumped to a 59-55 lead but the Bobcats battled back to close the gap to 60-59 before Hunsaker' s shot clinched the victory.

Wayne State's last desperation shot did not count because the buzzer had already sounded and the official scorer said the game was over. Students and fans of Peru State hoisted Coach Mcintire to their shoulders at the game's end.

First, this year's edition of the Bobcats and Jack Mcintire have earned a lot of credit. As the season began, few people thought the 'Cats had much of a chance to show or to place in the conference race-much less to win!

But win, they did-too many times for the wins to be accidental. They won because they hustled and never quit.

Now, everyone knows the score. Peru and Wayne tied for the NCC championship; then Peru defeated Concordia by a big margin and went on to beat Wayne by one point (61-60) and earn the right to represent the district in the K.C. tourney.

About a month ago, when it was too early to make sane predictions, we made one: that the 'Cats might be champs.

We ended the editorial with, "Does anyone want to bet?" Nobody offered to. We guess Peruvians knew or felt the boys would win all along. And win, they did!

Right now, we'll bet that Peruvians are proud of the Bobcats and Mac. Anyone want to bet?

Bobcats Clobber Concordia 89-78 ·And Win First Round Of Playoffs

BY STAN JOHNSON Peru State hit Concordia of Seward with a balanced scoring attack and won the first round of the NAIA district 11 basketball ' play-offs, 89-78, Monday, March 4.

The game saw five Bobcats score in double figures, with Tom Yopp, senior guard, leading with 20. Larry Hayes came off the bench midway through the first half and netted 16 points for the night.

Following the opening tip-off, the ball exchanged hands several times before Yopp hit a 20-foot jump shot to start the scoring.

Concordia came back with a fielder to even the game at 2-2, then Yopp bucketed two more jumpers for a Peru lead which was never overcome. Hayes' six straight points just before the first half ended extended the Bobcats' margin to 13 points.

Both teams exchanged field goals in the final seconds and Peru led at half, 43-30.

The Bobcats kept up the scoring pace in the second half. After scoring six straight points, they yielded a jumper to Concordia's Wayne Clements with about three minutes already gone in that half. Clements kept the Bulldogs in the game by canning 17 field goals for 34 points. His eight straight points with nine minutes left on the scoreboard trimmed Peru's lead to 14 points, but the Yopp-Jack Rinne fast break com-

Dramatics Club Production Orwell's Hl984" Coming Soon As March 28 draws near, the cast and crew of Orwell's 1984 are working to prove Mr. Moore's statement that a play i~ .an impression made on an audience.

Every word and gesture tells of life under a totalitarian government when even history is obliterated in the belief that whoever controls the past also controls the present and the future. Children are trained as spies before the age of ten and are hailed as "child heroes" when they denounce members of their own families. Marriage, in Let, any form of church, is abolished and all women who are loyal party members belong to the Anti-sex League.

The air is militaristic and every party member must wear a uniform. As those who know her say, "Mrs. Gnade came through again!" The Coakley Industrial Service, Omaha, has offered the necessary uniforms, with a return guarantee. Mrs. Gnade ·says that she knows now why the Yellow Pages are yellow and is g 1a d that the uniforms will be "uniform."

An interview with the five principal characters rev ea 1e d their previous dramatic experience and how they feel about the spring production.

Carol .McLain was in her high school junior .and senior c I a s s plays; 'three previous college pv-0ductions, is secretary of the Dramatics Club, and has participated in debate and extemporaneous speaking. Of 1984 she said, "The play is something that made me stop and think about what the world would be under a system I hate."

Tom Majors, a freshman, was in his high school junior and senior class plays, and is a V.F.W. speech contest winner. He feels that this is a good play w i th great possibilities and thinks the audience will be surprised with its general atmosphere.

Steve Parker was in his high school junior and senior c 1ass plays, seven college plays, participated in debate and is president of the Dramatics Club. "I feel that it's the best play we've attempted to put on here. I think the people have worked v er Y hard to make it a good presentation."

Forty-one high schools competed in the fifth annual Peru State Inter-Scholastic Contest, Friday, March 22. Twelve more schools were entered this year than were in 1962.

The following nine Division A schools were entrants: Auburn, Falls City, Nebraska City, Papillion, Platteview of Springfield, Syracuse, Tecumseh, Waverly, Pawnee City.

Thirty-~wo Division B schools were entrants: Adams, Alvo-Eagle, Barneston, Bennet, Bratton Union of Humboldt, Brock, Central of Sprague-Martell, Cortland, Dawson-Verdon, Dunbar, E 1k Creek, Elmwood, Gretna, Humboldt, Liberty, Louisville, Lewiston, Lourdes Central of Nebraska City, Mead, Murdock, Nemaha, Palmyra, Panama, ·Prague, Peru Prep, Stella, Stefling, Tab 1 e Rock, Talmage, V a 1p a r a is o , Weeping Water, Yutan.

Trophies were given to the high schools accumulating the highest number of points in the A and B divisions. Certificates were awarded to the top three contestants in each test. The contest results will be given in the next issue of the paper.

March 11, at 1:00 P.M., a chartered bus left Peru, bearing signs, "Kansas City or Bust." The passengers were members of the Peru State Band. Because of the importance of the game, the f u 11 band, in regulation u n if o rm , made the journey. The four-hour trip was filled with talking .... card playing ... talking . . . . . play rehearsal ... and m o r e talking.

When the destination was reached, the band felt as though they took President Kennedy's message to heart. It seemed as though it was a fifty-mile hike around the auditorium to the Peru secJion. The band played hard and loud, but it. wasn't enough to cheer the Bobcats to victory.

After the game, the members were given some free time. The majority of the girls headed for the depar~ent stores. The purchases ranged from clothes to novelty gifts.

The trip home was filled with comparing purchases, t e 11 in g jokes, making up verses to favorite songs, and eating. Toward the end of the trip, there w a s much sleeping. It is probably safe to say that no one envied the job of the bus driver.

Miss Diddel Takes Leave Of Absence Miss Norma Diddel, associate professor of art, Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru, has been granted a leave of absence for one year beginning June 1, 1963, according to President Neal S. Gomon.

Miss Diddel, who has been on the staff of the college since 1929, plans to travel ..extensively and will study at various art centers.

IT COULD HAPPEN

18 a:m: Cil'fCUliiS~-~]-ate

Peru State Teachers College students are given an opportunity to attend at least two plays every year. These plays are held in the College auditorium-one at Homecoming, the other in the spring. This year's spring play is to be presented on the evening of March 28.

This play, Geqrge Orwell's 1984, is under the direction of Mr. Robert Moore, head of the Language Arts Division.

The director and his staff have put in many hours and at least deserve some recognition from the student body.

The average person doesn't realize how much time and effort goes into the production of a play. Two hours a night, four or five nights a week, six weeks preparation-all components for the final stage production.

Once a person reads a play several times, he himself is usually satisfied. But constant rehearsing is required-constant memorizing of lines-in order to present the finished product to you, the college students.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Ped one will find comments by the actors themselves. The attitudes developed by the cast on the subject matter are amazing. And this same attitude concerning things that could develop in the future should persist as much with you-the college student.

The play will be a oudget event-FREE. -By Tom Aitken.

MAJORS HALL By Keith Grimes John Soby was "last but not least." It seems as though John missed his ride from Kansas City and had to ride home with the Peru basketball team.

It seems as though Majors Hall has a car dealer in its midst.

Mike Leahy has bought and sold two cars since the start of school.

Mike is known around the dorm as "trader Mike."

Roger Slaughter has just finished tooling his first billfold and has already started on another.

Majors Hall has two S.G.A. presidential candidates. They are Raymond (Skip) Ogle and Wayne (Bob) Wallace. Good luck to both of you.

Ron Peterson, Charles (Charlie Ben) Caversagie, and Ed Stillinger attended the finals ~f the NAIA basketball tournament in Kansas City.

It is almost safe to say that the most popular television program at Majors Hall is "Combat," which is on Tuesday night at 6:30. In order to get a seat in the television room on that night, you have to g€t in there about 5:30.

Jim Brenn, Jack Roper, John Barton, Bob Ruff, and Rod Baady seem to be holding down the canasta game on the first floor.

Two Peru Staie Teachers College seniors played their final collegiate basketball game in the Peru Staie Gymnasium, Monday, March 4, 1963, when the Bobcats hosted Concordia College in an N.A.I.A. playoff clash. The two (from left), Larry Hayes, Auburn and Tom Yopp, East Alton, Ill., were regulars on Coach Jack McIntire's 1962-63 Peru Staie Bobcats.

Yopp and Hayes Took Scoring and Rebounding Honors

BY BOB PECK Tom Yopp and Larry Hayes, senior Peru State cage stars walked off with individual scoring and rebounding honors ac" cording to the final Bobcat basketball statistics. Both seniors played their last collegiate game against Pa.n American of Edinburgh, Texas in the NAIA tournament in Kansas City, Mo. Yopp, a four year veteran from East Alton, Ill., copped team scoring honors, both game average and total by connecting :fior 121 field goals and 112 free 'throws for a total of 354 points in 24 games and a 14.8 average. Yopp hit 74.6 of his free throws and 45.7 of his field goals while pacing the 'Cats to their third consecutive Nebraska College Conference championship and a third straight journey to the NAIA tourney. Yopp-who is known for his ball handling, play-making, and defensive abilities-will be sorely missed by coach Jack Mcintire's squad as basketball season again enters into the limelight.

Hayes, a 6'2" senior from Auburn, captured the individual rebounding honors by dragging down 233 rebounds for a game average of 9.3. Hayes' jumping and rebounding abilities a 1s o helped the Bobcats to a successful year in the conference basketball race. Hayes also turned in a fine job for the Bobcats in the scoring column as he hit llO fielders and 57 free throws for a season total of 277 points and an average of 11.l. ,,

Track Prospects Look Encouraging The Bobcats' track season looks good this spring with the,;q_elp of many underclassmen. There a r e 35 prospects participating including eight returning lettermen.

The lettermen are: John Barton, Gary Bedea, Roger Crook, Louis Fritz, Paul MacNeil, Charles Niemeyer, Larry Rathe, and Bill Tynon.

The upperclassmen include only three juniors and one senior.

Much of the support will fall back on the shoulders of the underclassmen.

Work has begun on next year's Sifting Sands-literary publication of Sigma Tau Delta honorary English fraternity. Richard Elmore and Janice Jones have been selected as editors for the coming year.

Anyone wishing to contribute short stories, poems, or critiques should give this material to the·- editors as soon as possible.

The second semester yearbook class completed ihe 138 page PERUVIAN begun by the ·first semester yearbook class. The 18 mem·. hers met the February ·15 deadline and checked some proofs. They will read negative proofs in Kansas ,Ciiy next month so that the PERUVIANS will be ready for distribution in early May.

Three Big Little Words Good relations are of utmost importance to industry, civic af· fairs, and schools. A school cannot hope to grow unless it has established good relations in the area which it seriVes. Some people here spend a great deal of time and energy through· out the year working on favorable relations and good publicity for Peru-President Go mo n, Dean Melvin, Don Carlile, Bob Henry, Jack Mcintire, Harold Johnson, and many others. Student publications try to help.

Last week much good work was done by the entire faculty and a large portion of the stu· dent body when we had nundreds of high school students on our campus for the volleyball tournament, the speech and dramatics contests, and the interscholastic meet. Also, the band was on tour two days in our area. More will

be done this Thursday and Friday, when Class A, C, and D schools are on the campus for the music contests.

Activities such as we h av e been discussing have helped tremendously in more than doubling the enrollment of Peru in recent years. Much has been done, and more will be done. President Gomon and the rest of us intend for Peru to grow.

But you students can do more to help Peru grow than all of the rest of us put together and multiplied by ten. And all you have to do is to say three little words.

All colleges have public relations, but you have close personal friends who place great weight on what you say. So if you like Peru and want to help Peru grow, please say three big little words-I LIKE PERU! -S.P.L.

There has been a switch of janitors at Majors in the last two weeks. Keith Grimes has the basement floor; James (Jim) Hall has the first floor; and Ron Peterson has the top floor. So far this year the janitors have done a ·good job.

The Majors men welcome John Nore to Majors. He moved in Saturday, March 30, and will be with us the remainder of the semester.

John Barton, Roger Crook, Louie Fritz, Tom Bookwalter, Jim Brenn, Bob Ruff, and Jim Reddin are the Majors, men out for track.

Bill Scott, Harvey Fisher, and Richard Elmore were mysteriously missing from the dorm Wednesday, March 27. It was found later that they were in Kansas City on an official yearbook checking mission.

The other day Mike Peterson washed a wool blanket. When he put the blanket in the washer and dryer it was the size of a double-bed,· but when he took it out it was shrunk to the size of a single-bed blanket.

Mr. Leland Guest Of Iowa State Legislature LeRoy Leland, assistant professor of history at Peru State Teachers College, was selected by the Iowa State Legislature as their official guest, Friday, March 29. One Iowa resident is selected for such an honor each day the Iowa Legislature is in session.

DELZELL HALL NEWS

I

By Ronald Rist The boys of Delzell Hall have been getting spring fever. 0 n e may find Arlan Richardson, Rudy Eichenberger, Dave Barns, and many others playing catch out on the front lawn.

Others have been making their way towards the Oak Bowl, where they can watch or participate in track.

Still, there are others who walk towards the baseball field.

Delzell Hall has a lot of baseball lovers.

Gary Fritch of Room 8, Delzell Hall, and Miss Mary Michal of Table Rock were married. The boys of Delzell extend congratu· lations.

Almost everyone in Delzell Hall campaigned for the S.G.A. election. Arlan Richardson was campaign manager for Ray Ogle, presidential candidate, and Jack O'Connor, vice-presidential candidate.

It's been pretty obvious that most of the boys are glad that the nine weeks tests are over.

Missionaries Speak At Convocation

PIONEER -NEBRASKA CITY

BY JANICE JONES

1 WEEK-

OPENS THUR.. APRIL 11

Wesley Fellowship sponsored a convocation on April 3, at which Misses Betty Good and Jacqueline Skiles were guest speakers.

Miss Good is a social worker in large cities and Miss Skiles has done work in Brazil.

Miss Good pointed out work religious groups have done much work in the field of social work.

Community centers are established for the use of the young people. Through group activities and talk with social workers, problems are solved and group barriers broken down. She said that if the problems of the world could be solved as easily as those of children, this world would be a better place. Another phase of her work concerns elderly people. They must find a useful place in life just as everyone else.

Miss Skiles discussed the plight of the people of Brazil. Poverty is the greatest problem there.

The average monthly wage is $28. One-third of the people live in slums. Malnutrition and poor health are caused by poverty.

Primitive farm methods are used.

Ignorance is an outgrowth of poverty. There is lack of medical assistance and loss of human dignity. Only a very few control the wealth.

Nine Lettermen Return To Peru's Baseball Squad

BY BOB PECK Nine lettermen will lead the Peru State Bobcats in defense of their 1962 Nebraska College Conference baseball championship.

Veteran left hander Ron Kelley, a three year letterman from Falls City, returns after posting a 7-1 pitching record last year. Frank Spizuoco, a 5-3 performer a n d Bob Reimers, a 1-1 performer last vear also return to help bolster the Bobcats' pitching staff.

Other lettermen i n c 1 u d e : Catchers-Eldon Baker (.361), Falls City; Dick Floerchinger (.333), Omaha. Infielders-Barney Mcilvoy (.239), South Lyon, Mich.; Mike Hunt (.273), Tecumseh; Bruce McCoy (.412), Tecumseh. Outfielders-Rocky Edwards (.313), Southbridge, Mass.

Despite the nine returning lettermen, the loss of six monogram winners from last year's squad has left immense defensive and offensive holes which untried newcomers must fill. Graduation took the services of centerfielder Drexel Harvey (.380), Hartford, Ill.; first baseman Roger Smith (.365), East Alton, Ill.; outfielder Larry Gilson (.313), Fullerton; outfielder Gordon 0 h n o u t k a (.364), Valparaiso; shortstop Mike Roach (.268), Palmyra. Catcher Tom Neal (.055), Lincoln, trans.

Coach Wheeler has many newcomers and returning squadmen vying for the vacated positions.

Squadman Luke Cox, Lincoln and Jim Manning, Birmingham,

Ala., are pushing each other for the starting assignment at first base. Fairbury Junior College transfer Don Corbin, Fairbury, has shown up well at third base and is battling newcomers Ed Stillenger, Kent, Iowa and Frank Teleen Lincoln for that position.

Lett~rman Mike Hunt or rookie Stan Johnson, Rockford, Iowa, will man Mike Roach's vacated shortstop position. Veteran Barney Mcllvoy and rookie Ray Cain of Thurman, Iowa are in spirited battle for the second base opening. Rocky Edwards and Bruce McCoy appear to be set in left and center fields. "!!he right field job seems open, with LeRoy Leonard, Albany, N. Y., Lynn Wederquest, Rando 1 p h, Iowa, and Bill Heineman, Wahoo, struggling for the nod.

A number of new faces plus returning squadmen give the Bobcat mound corps more depth than in recent years. Back from a year of seasoning are Doug Coutner, Waco, and Dale Kreimer, Talmage. New team members include: Mel Hester, Lincoln; Duane Hufnagel, Lenox, Iowa, Marv Hopper, Auburn; Roger Noell, Plattsmouth; Bob Peck, Peru.

The Bobcats opened their 18game slate last week with doubleheaders against N o rt h w es t Missouri at Maryville on Wednesday and Wayne State at Peru on Friday. All home games commence at 1 p.m.

Easter Vacation

BY PHIL BATEMAN A common occurrence on college campuses all over America is the traditional Easter vacation.

It may be termed spring vacation, however, and the length of the respite varies with different schools; but it is essentially the same all across the length a n d breadth of the land. This is as far as the similli.rity goes though, and from there on out madness and mayhem take the fore.

Students find many different ways to celebrate the annual rites of spring. Some take the sun, some rush to the girl back home, others visit relatives, some studY. and some actually attend religious services. There are literally hundreds of "things" one can do on vacation, but most of them seem somehow drab and dull. Unless, of course, you are one of the hardy, pioneering breed who makes the exodus to far off and exotic places. Places like Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, C a p e Cod, and Old Mexico. These are the "golden ones" of contemporary college life, the ones we look to for leadership, fun and games, and, last but not least, the ones you read about in the newspapers.

These are the students who risk life, limb, throbbing head, dry mouth, and daddy's disapproval for the ultimate status symbolthe wild Easter vacation. They may be arrested, they may spend their last dollar, blow their car to pieces. Pop may cut off their allowance; but it is really worth all the hardship and pain. They are the rage of the campus, the knight errants of their corner of the world. Their sunburned heads are tilted high and they w a 1 k with a studied nonchalance.

When anxiously queried by some unfortunate who spent Easter at home in East Overshoe, Iowa, they casually reply that the booze was so-so, the climate okay, and the girls .... plenty. Will they go again next year? They frown, purse their lips and turn their bloodshot eyes to the east.

Next year, the world! and shops will be open. Visitors will also be able to inspect the recently remodeled library.

At 2 p. m. a variety show will be presented. After the show refreshments will be served at Eliza Morgan Hall. Instructors and administrators will be present to answer all questions.

nine sleepy travelers left Peru for the state Student Education Association convention at Chadron. The delegates discovered that the trip was a long one, and several learned more about Nebraska during the weekend of riding. The new Dodge station wagon, purchased for trips 1 i k e this one, held nine people a n d their luggage very ·comfortably.

The Peru delegates arrived in Chadron in time to freshen up before. beginning the evening's activities. Friday's agenda included registration, a variety program, and a fraternity dance.

They are: Stephen Honey, University of Nebraska, president; Penny Wright, Kearney, vice-president; Sally Lynn Hughes, Nebraska Wesleyan, secretary; Judi Johnson, Chadron, treasurer; and Fran Duffy, Kearney, historian.

In Pakistan, about 7 percent of the total population are literate. Pakistan has no compulsory education and only 43 percent of the school-age children attend school. This is partly because of the lack of available transportation and the cost of books. No tuition fee is charged in the elementary schools, which are grades kindergarten through five.

Mr. Khan went on to explain (Continued on page two)

SCHOOL SPiRlT AT PERU Let's face it! Peru State is the oldest and best college in Nebraska and is something of which to be proud. Much too often, however, Peru State's energetic school spirit prevails throughout her athletic contests and then slowly dwindles away.

The enthusiastiC school spirit that all of our contenders admire should be carried on throughout the entire year. The Peru Staters are for "good old Peru" all the way in athletic events in which the Bobcats always shine. Let's not limit this school spirit to just athletic events; but let it ring out in every other activity also. The students are a part of nearly a century of tradition and we owe our support and pride to everything that represents Peru State. This includes th e chorus, band, orchestra, dr-ama productions, the "Ped,'' Pe• ruvian, all-school parties and dances, student organizations, student government, and scholastic events.

So, as we roll into our final weeks of the 1962-63 year at Peru, check over your school spirit. Are you an active student that takes pride in your school and the part you play, or are you one of the few who stands on the side and criticizes?

Never let it be said that any college ever surpassed Peru State in school spirit!

-By Dorothea Fink.

FOR CONCLUSIVE EDITORIALS In recent years, the trend in editorials in newspapers and magazines has been to get away from the old fashioned blasting and criticism of any and all things wrong. The modern editorial is truly a disciple of the times in that it no longer rips into the heart of an issue and presents a definite opinion of the editor and the paper, but rather seeks to "explain" matters of current interest. It brings the facts to bear and presents them in a pleasing manner and thus the whole affair is cleared of the fog and delusion inherent with nearly all affairs new and different. This is its job and the editorial in most news media goes no further.

The meaning of the sentence containing the "disciple of the times" phrase might seem too cryptic, so some explanation perhaps should be in order. The period we now call modern is too often characterized by a wishy-washy viewpoint and an absolute reluctance to express a contrary or critical opinion. There was a time in the history of news when the printed word was a strong' element in keeping hypocrisy, graft, corruption and other such crud at least somewhat in line; This was accomplished by such devices as satire, irony, expose and many others. Not so the modern paper where the emphasis is on winning friends and enlarging circulation.

The opinion is that blandness and friendliness go together as do salt and pepper. No strong views, no truth seeking, just "nice" articles written in very proper King's English is the order of the day. It seems to matter little if the editorial page is filled with what appears to be excerpts from a courtesy and manners pamphlet; no one gets hurt and everybody g~ al6ng perfectly.

It is indeed unfortunate that the fire and verve seems to be hopelessly lost from its natural habitat, the editorial page; It is also very doubtful that this will change unless the readers of today's news vehicles show their contempt f o. r blandness, in general, and spineless journalism, in particular. · -By Phillip Bateman.

RONALD KELLEY

Charles Niemeyer, Des h 1er, clears eleven feet during the pole vaulting event in the Tarkio-Peru track meet held on Thursday, April 4. Niemeyer and Peru State's Al Sharp tied for first place in the event.

Veteran left hander Ron Kelley, a three year letterman, returns for his senior year as head of the Peru mound corps. Kelley, a Falls City High School graduate posted a 7-1 pitching record for the Bobcats last year.

Peru State's home opener was spoiled by a no-hit effort in the first game of a d.oubleheader with Wayne State, April 5, and the Wildcats pounded out 12 hits and 11 runs in the last game to down Peru twice, 6-0, 11-3.

Left-hander Keith Krommenhouck of Wayne hurled a no-hit shutout in the opening game at Peru and was backed by solo homers by Stan Schalis and Ron Jones. Krommenhouck allowed only two base-runners, b o th walks, with one of those being erased by a double-play. Bobcat Ron Kelley took the loss.

In the second game, Peru rapped out three straight hits to push across their first run of the day. But Wayne came back and scored three markers to take a lead that they kept. The winning pitcher was freshman Dean DeBuhr of Wayne, while Frank Spizucco absorbed the loss.

Peru Places Second In Fremont Triangle

Peru, Nebraska

Peru State Teachers College Monday battled from behind to notch a 7-5 night cap win and gain a split in a double header baseball engagement against St. Benedict's College at Atchison, Kans. St. Benedict's had pummeled the Peruvians 14-6 in the opener.

In the second game, Peru spotted St. Benedict's a four run first inning lead and then began whittling away to win with a two run burst in the eighth inning of a scheduled seven inning encounter. Ron Kelley, Falls City senior, who picked up the win by hurling three shut-out innings, singled in the top of the eighth to give Peru their winning run. Barney Mcllvoy, second sacker from South Lyon, Mich., gave the Bobcats insurance by sacrificing home another eighth inning run.

Peru scored three runs in the second inning, on a solo home run by left fielder Rocky Edwards, Southbridge, Mass., and two more on Mcllvoy's single.

The Bobcats tied it up in the top of the third but saw St. Benedict's again go ahead with a single tally in the bottom of the inning. Bruce McCoy, Tecumseh, lined a single in the seventh to score Mcilvoy and send the game into extra innings.

It was all St. Benedict's in the first game as they pounded out 10 hits and took advantage of nine big Peru State errors to annex the 14-6 win. A six run fourth inning, aided by three Bobcat errors, a passed ball, and a walk, iced the game for the Ravens.

Doug Cotner, Waco, absorbed the loss for Peru.

Aitken and Levitt May Fete Program Has Scandinavian Theme Make World-Herald A Peru College professor and student collaborated on a feature story which was recently published by the Omaha World-Herald. James D. Levitt, associate professor of speech, was the photographer. He took pictures of the Ralph Groff family of Peru.

The Groffs are well-known for their horseback-riding ability.

The story which accompanied the pictures was written by Tom Aitken. Tom is a senior majoring in English. He is presently coeditor of the Ped. The story, entitled "Bunions and Blisters," appeared in the World-Herald magazine secticn on Sunday, April 21. It acquainted the reader with the rodeo ability of the "riding Groff family." Particular emphasis w a s given to the achievements of the family last summer. A picture of all eight members of the family, each astride a horse, was included.

The story began when Mr. Levitt was taking publicity pictures for the Little Britches Rodeo at Peru last year.

BY BETTY WELLENSIEK The entertainment for Queen Karolyne and King Steve, began as the Ethnic Singers sang "Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen."

During the song, dancers, attired in colorful Scandinavian costumes, entered and took their places on the floor.

Crested Hen The first dance was the Crested Hen, which is a Danish folk dance. The girls tried to get the red "stocking cap" which the men were wearing. The successful girl became the "crested hen."

The dancers were Kay Camden, Karen Conrad, Carol Curd, Sharon Fike, Mary Holland, Susan Hulbert, Loretta Kratochvil, Jane Moore, Elaine Muller, Myra Murren, Myrna Oestmann, P e g g y O'Neill, Becky Perdew, Beverly Quinn, Winnie Sporer, Betty Stubbendick, Shirley Talley, Betty Wellensiek, Allen Chandler, Robert Hinks, Gerald Laflin, Ed McCartney, Gary Moore, Bi 11 Murphy, Cliff Murray, Charles Pratt, and Bill Scott.

Donkey Fable The modern dance class presented The Fable of the Donkey, another Danish dance. M a r Y Sautter, a little boy, and Mary Lynne Hannah, his father, were taking their donkey, Karen Cahow, to market. On their way, they met three young girls, Lois Fritz, Lorene Kostal, Lucille Christenson. The girls asked why they were walking when someone could ride. So the little boy got on and rode. A little further, they met two acrobats, Ronald Robbins and Don Clark. They said the father should be riding instead of tb.e boy. Soon they met Mother, Linnea Ingwerson, a n d her playful children, Ruth Har- . ris and Frankie Kan. They suggested that both the father and son ride. The last group the father and son met were two gossips, Donna Cox and Susan Stall.

Their advice was that the father and son carry the donkey. Their advice was taken, but the donkey didn't like it, and he ran away.

The moral of the dance was,

"You can't please everybody!"

The background was painted by Miss Norma Diddel and her art classes.

In a Fix "Little Man In a Fix" is a dance in which there is always one extra couple. The man in a "fix" gets upbraided by his partner for not getting in a set. When the music changes, the couple finds a set and leaves another "man in a fix." Dancers were Madelyn Bleach, Cliff Murray, Jane Moore, Victor Bade, Beverly Quinn, Paul McNeil, Peggy O'Neill, Bill Bouton, Nancy Neimann, Bill Scott, Mary Holland, Luke Cox, Eleanor Frandsen, Gerald Laflin, Loretta Kratochvil, Leroy Leonard, Carol Curd, Ed McCartney, Cheryl Berner, Roger Noel\, Myra Murre11, and Gary Moore.

BIG AND BEAUTIFUL BUT CAN BE BAD We hope that students will treat the Missouri River with great respect because the river can be very dangerous. It is one of the largest rivers on the continent, and old river pilots say that the real river is the Missouri. Around Peru the river is falling very fast and has very fast and treacherous currents, currents reaching twelve miles per hou,r in .spots. We are not afraid of water, having enjoyed water sports and things like duck hunting and fishing· all of our life and having served as a Navy swimming instructor, but we have great respect for the river, and we hope you will too.

Last year about this time one of our students, Sherwood Packwood of Tecumseh, was drowned while swimming below the second dike down from the Peru boat dock. Another student, George Nincehelser of Peru, was awarded a medal for saving a woman's life, but the woman's husband was drowned in the boating accident. By contrast, not a single regularly enrolled student has become a traffic fatality in the seven years we have been here;and there are few places where students do more driving than they do here.

So, if you decide to go swimming, be careful where you swim. Don't swim alone. If you are boating, be sure your boat has oars in case of motor failure and that your boat has an adequate number of life preservers. Obey Nebraska's boating laws and treat the river with respect. We'd like to have you around next year.

Karolyne Powers And Steve Parker Crowned At May Fete

PSTC Will· Double Enrollment In Decade A near doubling of enrollment of Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru in the next decade has been forecast by President Neal S. Gomon. The projection is based on the percentage of high school graduates enrolling at Peru, the number of expected graduates of Nebraska secondary schools and the percent of high school seniors that go on to college.

The big bulge in enrollments will come in 1964 and 1965, the years that Nebraska high schools will graduate record classes. The current enrollment is expected to boom 55% in the next three years to 1,222 in the fall of 1965· compared to 784 in the fall of 1962.

Increases are expected to be less sharp after 1965 but will rise steadily to an estimated enrollment of 1,504 in 1972.

Ability to meet the anticipated increases will depend upon pro-

visions of housing and classroom space and staff, according to President Gomon. Present dormitories and married student hOusing accommodates 425 students, with the remainder housed in the community or driving from area towns. Nearly all available space in Peru is now occupied, thus additional space must be provided by the college. Doubling of dormitory space will be needed by 1965 and rooms for another 250 students will be required by 1970.

A recent study of classroom and laboratory space utilization reveals a near-maximum usage of present facilities. A doubling of enrollment will require the addition of at least 20 classrooms and laboratories, with two-thirds of these needed by 1965. A minimum of 25 additional staff members will be necessary to meet the instructional needs of the anticipated enrollments in the .next decade.

Bobcats Split With Kearney

BY STAN JOHNSON Frank Spizuoco held Kearney Teachers to two singles in t h e last four innings to secure Peru's conference victory over the Antelopes, 7-4, in the second game of a doubleheader played April 19, at Kearney. The Peru Bobcats were beaten in the first game, 6-0.

Frank evened his won-loss record at one and one, and helped the cause by collecting t h r e e timely hits. Mike Hunt and Luke Cox also take game-winning honors. Mike rapped out two hits and scored a run, and Luke helped sadden Kearney by rounding the sacks three straight times.

Steady pitching by Kirk Arterburn and a grand-slam homer by Roland Anderson boosted Kearney's win in the opener. Arterburn allowed only two Bobcat

hits-a single by Ron Kelley in the sixth inning and a groundrule double by Jim Manning in the ninth. Kelley, in going th e distance for Peru, yielded only four opponent hits, but walks and clutch hitting spelled the difference.

The Peru State Bobcats took a doubleheader from Hastings on the 'Cats home mound Friday, April 26, to even their conference record at 3-3 and to bring their overall record to 5-7.

Peru won a. hitting duel in the first game as they collected 7 runs on 10 hits. Hastings scored first as they tapped starter Frank Spizuoco for 3 runs in the first inning. Spizuoco needed the help of ace reliefer Duane Hufnagel in the sixth inning as Hufnagel blanked the Hastings club the rest of the way. The Bobcats bounced back in the bottom half of the first stanza to bomb Hastings starter Dunker for 5 runs on 6 hits. The Bobcats then fought off a late Hastings rally and added insurance runs in the 5th and 6th innings to down the Broncos 7-5. Peru's offensive load was carried by Mike Hunt, Bruce McCoy, and Jim Manning as each collected a pair of hits in the opening game. The Hastings club was lead by Beran and Brethawer, who also collected a pair of hits.

Ron Kelley struck out 13 and hit a homerun to help lead himself to another victory in the second game. Kelley had plenty of help from third baseman Bruce McCoy, who collected 3 Hits and drove in 3 runs. Kelley gave up just 4 hits to even his record at 2-2. The Hastings club was never in contention as they scored their only run of the game in the sixth inning on a hit and a throwing error. The 'Cats downed Hastings 6-1 as the team's hitting seemed to be much improved over recent games.

New Appropriation Formula Set

By State Normal Board

Ninety-five Seniors To Receive Degrees May 31

BY DOROTHEA FINK The State Normal Board has decided on a new formula for the appropriation of tax funds f o r the state teachers coileges in Nebraska. Dr. Gomon, president of Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru, stated, "The formula adopted by the board is almost identical in its percentages of the budget request. The total asking of all the colleges from the tax funds is $9,249,570. Peru's request is $1,561,216, which is 16.88% of the total. Under the new formula, Peru will receive 16.85% of whatever amount is voted by the legislature."

The vote was 5-2 in favor of the formula, devised by Dr. Freeman Decker, Normal Board coordinator. Under this formula, Kearney will receive 35.55%, Wayne 27.54%, Chadron 20.06%, and Peru 16.85%.

The request for funds for the coming biennium amounts to a 51112 % increase over the last allocation. Normal Board member, Carl Spelts, said that the colleges weren't allocated enough last biennium. The enrollment at the four teachers colleges has tripled over the past 10 yeiirs, as a greater percentage of high school students attend college.

Approximately 5,500 full-time students are now enrolled at the colleges. It is estimated that 9,000 will enroll in the fall of 1965. · Betty Person, staff writer for the Lincoln Star, explained h'G\v the colleges "managed to get along" with the small allocation last biennium. Steps were taken by the board to increase tuition, eliminate issuance of scholarships to each high school in the state, and various other methods.

The four state teachers colleges' programs are financed entirely with tax and cash funds.

Spelts emphasized the need for salary increases for the faculty of the colleges. The salary is far below average for the Midwestern states. Also, the teaching load is above average for college teachers.

Commencement exercises on May 31 will graduate 95 Peru Staters. Of these, 10 are receiving Bachelor of Arts degrees, two will become Bachelors of Fine Arts in Education, 15· will receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education, and 68 will receive the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. These numbers include mid-term graduates who will officially receive their degrees this May. The graduates, their home addresses, and their fields of concentration, are as follows:

Wheeler Men Bring Second Championship Of The Year Despite a 7-11 over-all record, the 1963 Bobcat baseball team gave Peru its second Conference championship of the 62-63 school year. The Peruvians were trichampions with Wayne and Kearney. All three had 5-3 winloss conference records.

Inconsistent hitting kept the Bobcats from a better season.

Peru split a double-header with Maryville, Mo., in the first game of the season. Bob Reimers, senior chu.cker lost a two hitter 2-1, with the Bobcats taking the second, 8-1. Wayne visited the Peru campus and took home two victories, 6-3 and 11-3. The Ravens of St. Benedicts were next on the schedule, and again the 'Cats split, losing the first game 15-6, copping the second game 7-5 as ace left hander Ron K e 11 e y picked up his first win.

Peru stepped out of the conference to take on a classy Omaha U outfit. Peru succumbed 12.-2 (Continued on page four)

THANK YOU Peru's ninety-sixth year has been a good one in almost every way, and reporting the events of the year has been a pleasant task. But it would have been an impossible task without the help of a great many good people.

First, we want to thank the staffs of the Pedagogian and the Peruvian, who worked faithfully and did the very best they could. Working with these staffs has been a genuine privilege and a pleasure.

Mr. J. D. Levitt and Dr. C. D. Siegner have made valuable photographic contributions. Mr. Don Carlile and Mr. Bob Henry of Special Services have given us a lot of what the name of their bureau signifies. Mrs. Genevieve Gergen has taken time to "mother" the Campus School news.

Actually, almost everyone has helped us in some way.

We want to thank everyone from President Gomon and Dean Melvin OIJ. down for the time and courtesy that have been extended to our reporters, writers, and editors.

Thank you, all of you, very, very, much.

Peru opened the season with a 0-7 loss to the Creighton Blue Jays on the Peru courts. Later in the season they were again the victims of the Jays 7-0 on the Omaha school's courts. Peru also suffered defeat at the hands of the Marysville, Mo., net-men 0-7 on the Peru courts. The squad was coached by Dr. Darrell Wininger.

This Was Track

Season Of 1963

Bill Witty Is Athletic Scholar Take football, add basketball, mix with a javelin and a discus, and top off with an arm load of books and you get the adventures of Bill Witty, freshman scholar and athlete .at Peru State Teachers College.

Bill, in his first year on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks, has mixed athletics and academics to near perfection. The 6'2'', 200 lb., former Syracuse high school star earned letters this year in football, basketball, and track to be Peru State's only 1962-63 three sport letterman.

In addition to his achievements in athletics, Witty cracked the scholastic part of his young collegiate career with a first semester grade point average of 8.36, on 9.00 scale, to place him third highest of regularly enrolled students at Peru State. Witty's quarter grades for the second semester saw him still rolling along at an 8-plus pace as he majors in mathematics and physical education at Nebraska's oldest college.

a

Witty's athletic performances would make almost any freshman satisfied, but not Bill who is regarded as one of the hardest workers on the Peru State sport squads. "The greatest asset he has," says Peru State track mentor Jerome Stemper, "is his de-

sire to improve and his complete willingness to work toward that goal."

The former Class B Nebraska discus champion has performed creditably 'in that event and in the javelin throw. Witty's best mark to date in the discus was a toss of 135~6" against Wayne State. His throw of 168'8" in the javelin against Northwest Missouri State ranks as his hi g h mark in that event.

As a plebe basketballer on Coach Jack Mcintire's N&Q,raska College Conference champions and NAIA tournament representatives, Witty scored 283 points for an 11.3 point average per game. He was one of two Bobcats to start every game in the Peruvians' 25 game slate. Although his scoring antics were good for a freshman performer, Witty's defensive play was perhaps the high point of his game.

During gridiron season, t h e affable Witty fought off contenders to nail down the number one quarterback position and direct the Bobcats to a 5-2-2 record. Witty completed 29 aerials in 63 attempts to gain 297 yards.

While handling all of Peru's punting, he found time to gain second place in the Peru State individual scoring for the 1962 football season.

Three athletic letters and one of the highest academic rankings on the Peru State campus make Bill Witty a young man to watch in his future years at Peru State.

A good listener is a good talker with a sore throat.

Peru Falls To Creighton In Doubleheader

BY BICBABI> BERTHOLD

BY STAN .JOHNSON

Coach Jerry Stemper's cinder men broke into the victory column during the 1963 season with three wins. With more experience and help from the underclassmen, the Bobcats concluded the season exceptionally well. An intrasquad meet was held prior to thei:r outings between the upperclassmen and freshmen. The freshmen were outclassed 44-91 by the upperclassmen.

Creighton University upended the Peru Sta~ baseballers twice by one-run. victories, Wednesday, May 8, on the Bobcat diamond.

The Blue Jays swept the doubleheader by scom oi 1-0, and 4-3.

It was a pitcher's duel in the opener with the only :run being scored on a solo oomer by Creighton's third baseman S.pensieri in the fourth inning. It was one of only two hits given up by Ron Kelley who collected 16 strikeouts and walked just two.

The Bobcats hit safely six times, but couldn't bunch them to get the needed scoring. Eldon Baker and Jim Manning both rapped out doubles, in the fourth and fifth, respectively, but were left stranded when the Peru hitters couldn't collect in the clutch.

Peru opened the s~ason with an enormous bang against Tarkio in the Oak Bowl. The Bobcats totalled 90 points to Tarkio's 46.

The Bobcats then found themselves placing second to Midland in a triangular affair on Midland's cinders. Midland outdistanced Peru for the win, scoring 79 and 1/6 points to the Bobcats' 55 and 1/3. Concordia totalled 35 and 1/2 points.

The next outing for Peru was held in the Oak Bowl, and was a black day for Peru. Washburn overpowered Peru in 14 events to ring up 102 points to the Bobcats' 34. Louis Fritz gathered the only ffrsts for Peru in the mile and two mile distances.

The Bobcats then journeyed to Tarkio for a trianguar meet where they compiled their second win of the season. Maryville kept close to Peru's heels until the final races. Peru nippM Maryville 77-68 while Tarkio gathered 25 points.

The Peru-Maryville meet held at Maryville proved to be another winner for the Bobcats. Peru totalled 80 points to Maryville's 55. Larry Rathe and Bill Witty were the only double winners in the single events for Peru.

Peru was host to the Tigers in the Oak Bowl which resulted in a win for Wayne. The Tigers gathered twelve first places to Peru's four. The Bobcats scored 54 to Wayne's 82 points.

The Bobcats placed fifth in the 880 yard relay and mile relay during the Doane Relays. The Doane Relays were one of the larger meets of the season for Peru.

The final outing for Peru was the N.C.C. Track Meet held at Kearney. Kearney again led the field with 135 points to capture first place by a large margin. Peru placed fourth in the mile relay and 880 relay to gain four points.

Creighton's pitcher Kros drove in three runs on a homer and a two-run single to spoil Peru's nightcap, 4-3. The winning run was scored in the top of the seventh on a walk and two singles.

Peru drew first blood in t h e first inning on singles by Mcllvoy and Edwards and an infield out.

Bruce McCoy drove in Peru's second marker on a line-drive double to the right corner scoring Edwards in the sixth. The Bobcats collected their final run in the bottom of the seventh on a sacrifice fly following F r an k Spizuoco's triple.
