For a couple of hours there passed one after another events of great interest and as one after another some favorite succeeded in demonstrating his athletic su premacy the air was full of all sorts of yips and yells. It was a great morning for the athletes and their sup porters. The first year vocational won the meet and a beautiful cup. At 2:30 ixi the afternoon there was a game of base ball between teams representing the vocationals and the prevocationals. Here was a battle tb the death almost— it was Nip and Tuck for it. Nip got it with one tally to the good. The score at the end of the game was 5 to 4 in favor of the vocationals. A large crowd was in attendance. For fans it was picnic time. ' In the evening the Girls’ Mandolin and Guitar Club, under the direction of Bandmaster I. S. Loos, gave a delightful musical evening in the auditorium. Much of the scenery had been painted especially for the stage setting on this occasion by Mr. Loos, and it may be stated emphatically that never has anything so beautiful been seen before at Chemawa in the way of stage effects. There was even a fountain of run- . ning water on the stage in full view of everybody. We cannot do justice to the many beautiful effects; but we more than suspect Mr. Eoos is largely indebt ed to Mrs. Eoos for his great success in making^ picture of his stage on this occasion. In a musical way the concert was a delightful success. .Every number on the program had been either especially written or arranged for the club and they proved the musical ability of Mr. Eoos to be of high order. The pantomime, “ Rock of Ages,’’ was one of the particu larly striking features of the evening. Here we sub mit the program as rendered; ; March—C. I.

A couple of hours were in this manner most profitably spent.

At the conclusion of the dress parade all repaired to the large gymnasium where there were exhibitions in physical culture drills by the various classes under the direction of Mr. George W. Bent, our -disciplin arian and physical culture instructor. The exhibitions by the different classes were all of high order and reflectedcredit on both director and pupils. On the conclusion of work in the gym all proceeded to a spot on the campus just west of the administration build ing, where were held a series of competitive drills and exercises. These resulted in victory foi^Joseph Ra cine among the sergeants, Eneas Hines of the cor porals and William Frazier among the privates. A competitive drill which occasioned much interest was what is known as the “ bayonet drill.’’ This was splendid and was won by Alex Petellen. At 6:45 the band, under direction of Mr. Eops, gave a splendid concert, as they did during every evening of commencement with one exception. These concerts were most popular and drew large crowds every evening. At the conclusion of the concert .all repaired to the auditorium where a most pleasing program of a varied (Continued on page 3)
