ATHLETIC NOTES
The College of Puget Sound won an exciting game
from our team here last Thursday afternoon by a
score of 4 to 2. Up to the eighth inning the score
stood 1 to 1, with neither team having any advantage
because of the splendid defensive game played by
both teams.
Long hits, line drives and fast grounders were picked
up and handled with the grace and ease of profes
sionals until the disastrous eighth when our team mixed
a bunch of booted balls with bad throws and allowed
the loggers to put across the plate the three winning
runs. Our half of the eighth started like a rally for us
when Atkins was hit by a pitched ball then stole second
and came home on DePoe’s hit to the field. But that
was all short lived, for our hope suddenly vanished
when Fleury, Davis and D. George were put out in
one, two, three order and left DePoe stranded on
on second base. The best we could do after such a
promising start was to add one tally to our lone score.
The score book shows that the work of the pitchers
was about even. Fleury, pitching for our team, allowed
five hits and struck out seven men, while the college
pitcher was found for six hits and struck out seven
men.
During the week the team will play the Oregon
Normal School at Monmouth and on Saturday we
play the North Pacific Dental College team here.
The Dentists have a team of semi-professional ball
players and are the top notch collegiate ball team of
Portland, so our rooters can expect a lively game. A
short time ago they defeated us in Portland by the
narrow margin of a 7 to 5 score, but our boys intend
to even up matters in this game.
With the nearing of our commencement festivities
the classes are getting their track teams organized and
in shape for the Annual Track and Field Meet.
Needless to say that the many splendid prizes offered
for the winners of the various events are very attrac
tive and well worth working for.
We are glad to note that several of the student organ
izations are already preparing their stunts for the
campus program which is held during commencement.
Out of an impromptu meeting this has grown to be one
of the important affairs on our program and much
interest is always manifested in the program. Without
exception nearly every organization is represented,
which makes it one of the best entertainments of the
year.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES
Good day, good friends, a fair day, to hear what we
cooks have to say.
We all looked foward to the big supper which occur
red on May 22, for all intended to get our fill, both
cooks and guests.
Demonstration week is on its way. One division of
our girls have already given their dinner and it was a
success. The cooking demonstration will be given
during the closing week.
Well, dear friends, we, the Junior class, wish you
good luck now and in the future.
DOMESTIC ART NOTES
Howdy, folks! Well, here we are again. As you
all know, the exams began last Friday. We all
looked forward to them, hoping to come through
safely. The costumes made by the skillful fingers of
the classes of ’27 and ’29 are nearly completed. We
are also finishing up the fancy work which is to be
shown during demonstration week.
Several girls were dyeing last week. No, it wasn’t
serious; they were only dyeing various colored fairy
costumes.
You have our kindest wishes for your success in the
final exams.
T he C lass of ’29.

proud to be thus honored.
