At 9:30 o’clock on Tuesday morning a great throng
of deyotees of things athletic was on the bleachers to
witness the variousevents of the inter-class field sports.
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; ;

On Wednesday morning at 9:30 o’clock the various
departments of the school, both industrial and aca
demic, were thrown open tor general inspection by
all—visitors and home folk. A couple of hours were
in this manner most profitably spent. Much of inter

At 2 p. m. there was a dress parade, in which all
companies comprising the military body known as
the Chemawa Battalion, both boys and girls, par
ticipated. * It was a splendid parade and review. 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
