CLASS OF 1913 MAKES EARLY STARTON PAPER Many New Features of College Life Will Add to Interest of Later Students at University The 1913 Oregana staff has com menced its work Assignments have been given to members of the staff and elaborate plans have been made. Among other new feauters will be a complete write-up illustrated by many cuts, of Commencement week— a \>ature which has been entirely I neglected in previous annuals. The | College Life department will be much [ enlarged and improved with interest ing pictures and personals. Editor-in chief Outhauk has secured a splendid kodak for the purpose of securing plenty of interesting photographs. He has appointed Lloyd Barzee his as sociate editor and to assist Fern Waite with the College Life department. Dan Mitchel will take charge of the Athletics, Lucile Abrams will have the Literary and Art departments. Nell Hemenway will have charge of the Fraternities and Clubs, and Elizabeth Lewis will look after the Student Or ganizations. Herbert Strong, the business manager has appointed Allyn Roberts his assistant. The 1912 staff has finished its work and deserves much praise and credit for the xecellent book which they have put out. Among their special fea tures are cust of the Junior class and the use of color in the frontispiece and a few headings. Many cuts of interest about the campus also add to the book’s attractiveness. The staff for 1912’s Oregana was • composed of: Chester Moores, editor in- chief, Wendel Barbour, business manager; Lucia Campbell, W. M. Huntington, Jessie Bibee, Martin Hawkins, Arthur Lewis, Birdie Wise, A. E. Houston, Rex Turner, John Kelly, and Elwood Luckey. The class of 1902 was the first class in the University to issue an annual which was known as the “Webfoot” This books is very interesting and attractive, althongh much smaller and more limited in scope than the present issue. Each year’s annual has marked a great improvement over those of the preceding years, while 1913’s gives promise of leaving all the others miles behind in the race. In 1908, the word “Oregana” was chosen as a permanent name for all Junior annuals and henceforth they will be known as “19—’s Oregana”. The Universitv of Michigan gives eight units credit in the course in ! journalism for work on college publi ! cations. REHEARSALS FOR SEN IOR PLAY RAVE BEGUN Coach Hammond and the Members of the Cast Are Working Hard. Under the able direction of James G. Hammond, rehearsals for the Sen ior play, which will be given in the Eugene Theater May 27, have begun. The cast is already in excellent shape but a few touches being needed to complete the production. The play is filled with the true college atmosphere and cannot fail to appeal to every ! University student. The story is one of a man just out of college who ! starts in buisiness and begins to fight! a pickle trust. It is true example of j and up-to-date college man of today J versus an old-fashioned man of busi- j ness. Plots and counter-plots follow | the hero through his business career ' but finally he wins out and secures the daughter of his competitor. From beginning to end, complications and laughs are brought in by all kinds of characters. Thereis the old-fash ioned business man of the past and the up-to-date man of the present. The aesthetic college professor, the go-as ness woman; the gum-chewing steno you-please, -are-free strJent; the busi grapher; the wife of the newly-rich; and last but not least the heroine of the plot who is a sweet lass full of lovable qualities. Besides these characters there is a large supporting cast full of pip and gaiety. The lead ing characters are being taken by Leslie Dobie, Tom Burke, Melvin Ogden, Francis Curtis, George White, Dean Collins, Juliet Cross, Madge Hamble, Jessie Calkins, Pearl Wilbur, Willetta Wright, and Mary De Bar. The class of 1911 was more than fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Hammond and from present indi cations the play promises to more than fulfill expectations and eclipse all former records. Not only the class but the University as a whole is greatly indebted to Mr. Hammond for his services which he offered entirely without recompense. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet Meets 'rhe cabinet of the Y. W. C. A. met with the Advisory Board on Tues day to make plans for the next year. One of the principle items of busi ness was selecting a new general sec retary. Mrs. rZown is going to Port land nexlt year and that leaves the girls to look for another. ' Several were suggested, the only one of which that received any unue approbation b“ing Mrs. Clark. It is hoped that she will accept the position, in that J she is already familiar with the work THE COUNTY FI A VERY PLEASING EVENT The Stunts Were the Cleverest Ever Given at any Party Heretofore. The Y. W. C. A. gave a very suc cessful entertainment last February in the men’s gymnasium. The “County Fair” which was highly enjoyed by all was certainly the event of the month, both financially and socially. The enormous success of the even ing was due to th fact that almost every club and fraternity in college took part and spared no effort to make their show the feature of the evening. The candy table, the maids with confetti, and ice cream booths offered attractions for all tastes. The air fairly rang with the calls of the “spielers” as they vied with one another to lure the curious to part with their nickels and dimes. The touching cries and gurgles of the incubator babes proved to be sounds which touched the purse strings as well as the heart strings of the visit ors since the babies headed the list of the gate receipts. Our thoughts were turned into aesthetic channels when we tried to fling a garland of roses over the at tractive heads of the damsels in the “Ring Around the Rosey” booth. Bill Fiser, as an organ grinder and Abe Blackman as the proverbial monkey gave a typical “County Fair” aspect to the whole. A host of reckless spenders received sudden shocks from the finger tips of “Dorina”, the elec trified wonder. Old and youg abandoned their dig nity and pride to take a thrilling slide down the slippery Chute-the chutes, which landed its unsuspecting victims suddenly in carefully “boiled” water. The Orpheum circuit gave the lovers of true melodrama and con tortionists generous returns for the dime so loudly called for at the en trance. The headliner of the even ing was the twenty minstrel men with their original songs, dances, and hits on the noticeable characteristics of the faculty and the well known students. The whole was such a conspicuous success that the Y. W. C. A. has determined to make the “County Fair” an annual event, as it is a popular and easy way of raising money for a worthy cause. and al lthe association girls have [earned to value and respect her judg ment. All unite in the wish that she may be our next General Secretary. Junior Day Scenes
