defeat of our old rival, W illam ette, on Sw eetland
F ield last F rid ay .
On F rid a y last, the seniors spent a p a rt of a period
sum m ing u p th eir daily averages for the year. P ro s­
pects for all g ra d u a tin g seem b rig h t, for so far every
one has passed in his daily grades.
E d w in E iljegren su rp rised everybody by ta k in g
first in th e 440-yard dash in th e m eet held at W il­
lam ette. E d d ie has been a faith fu l w orker on th e

of ’21 welcomed him by saying it was a custom for
th e seniors to request aud receive a little classroom
talk from M r. H all once d u rin g th e year and th a t the
class of ’21 was very proud and pleased to have the
honor of h earing such a talk.
M r. H a ll’s brief address was p articu larly fine and
th e seniors gave m ost earn est atten tio n to every word.
H e urged them to take on the responsibility of m a k ­
in g th e very m ost of every ab ility w hich they pos­
sessed for becom ing real m en and real women. H e
told them no m atter w hat th eir w ork in life m ight be
each one could ennoble and dignify th a t w ork by
b rin g in g to its execution the full force of a m a n ’s
pow er. M r. H all tersely expressed his th o u g h t by
saying: “ Do not be content w ith m erely m aking a
living: M ake a life .”
T h e class sang several songs and after som e inform al
talk w ith th eir S u p erin ten d en t cheer leader N uckolls
