ANNUAL JUNIOR PARTY
During recent Saturday afternoons Mr. Hobucket
and others interested have worked on our athletic
track, getting it in condition for our athletes and for
general field-meet purposes.
Miss Skipton took charge of the big kitchen during
the recent visit of Mrs. Brewer to Corvallis, where
she attended the home economics exhibition held at
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Milton S. George, who was a student along about
1908, visited us recently. He is now engaged in farm
ing at Stites, Idaho, and seems to be getting along
splendidly. He is still loyal to old C. I. S.
Robert Gooly is now in charge of the night shift at
the power house. Albert Hay, who has been in
charge of the night force for many months, has been
changed to the day force and is working as an elec
trician.
Word comes from Metlakatla, Alaska, to the effect
that James Evans, a graduate of six years ago, is
still more than making good. Jimmie is now married.
He is reported to be keeping up his clarinet practice,
and as he is the proud father of a baby girl we fancy
he is getting a more musical tone of late.
The Juniors gave their annual party in the school
gymnasium on Saturday night last. The room was
beautifully decorated with their colors and pennants
and one end was curtained off for the cloak room,
while lattice work hid the rear of the big stage and
around the sides of the room were rugs and furniture,
making a general parlor or reception room out of the
gym floor.
All kinds of games were provided and various stunts
were given at intervals throughout the evening, inter
spersed with dancing. The refreshments were served

REPORTER’S NOTES
By Allan Shepard
Word was recently received from our former class
mate,
Gus Gartiez, that he expects to be in Chemawa
Did you see anything green a couple of days ago? right soon.
St. Patrick passed through day before yesterday on
his yearly visit.
Saturday was devoted by the carpenters and others
to unloading a carload of lumber.
The carpenters are making frames for pictures
which are to be placed in various buildings about the
place.
Again the whir of the lawnmower is heard about
the campus. Mr. Ross and his detail are behind the
project.
The painters are still employed at the task of re
painting the various rooms and hall-ways in the aca
demic building.
Mrs. Woods and her detail put in a good part of
last week washing and ironing all the uniforms of Mc
Bride Hall girls. This was quite a task.
There has been quite an importation of coal lately
and nearly every available square inch of ground
around the power house has become a depository of
“ black diamonds.”
The Seniors are planning to give the school a com
mencement to linger in the memories of all for time
everlasting.
Logan Fann was the photographer who took the
pictures of all the Seniors last week for records in
Washington.
Miss White read to the assembly a very interesting
letter from our former classmate, Alex Melovidov,
who is located somewhere in Cardiff, Wales.
The beautiful yellow blotters have been removed
from our desks for some mysterious reason and we
are wondering what can ever possibly replace them in
service and beauty.
A letter has just been received from John Beyers,
now located at Segendorf, Germany. He wishes to
be remembered to all his friends. He states that he
is going to night school, taking up general electricity.
Last fall when the Seniors were first laboring with
entomology, Mr. Devol brought in an evil looking
brown worm which was placed in a glass observation
jar. Almost immediately it spun silken threads and
fastened itself to the side of the jar. Here it slowly
hardened outwardly and remained a chrysalis until
Friday last, when out came a beautiful gold butterfly
bearing dark blue markings. Blue and gold, our colors
of 1919. It is the Pacific Coast Swallowtail.
