House picnics with their trucks load
ed with gay humanity and huge cans of
ice cream, will soon be quite the social
function the warm weather predicts,
and matinee, dinner, and evening dances
will be utilizing the porches, spacious
lawns and gardens as additional and
fully-as-necessary space. The millrace
is already a popular rendez-vous for
pienickeTs„ swimmers* and canoeists*

were the motif for the attractively dec
orated rooms of the Phi Delta house,
Friday evening, when the fraternity en
tertained with a formal dance. At the
ir. eresting and novel feature dance

the women guests. The programs were

embossed upon them.

Showers of wisteria and dogwood
falling from the depths of clever blue
picture hats suspended from the walls,

After elections are over,
After the winners have won,
What will we do for a topic or two
To add to a little chat’s fun?
“Gee, but how friendly he’s getting!”
“Her smile is more sweet than of
yore!”
But after its done, and the race has
been run,
We’ll all act the same as before.
All up and down the campus walks,
The students hasten daily.
They frisk along to class and lab,
With faces smiling gaily.
They do not loiter on their way;
Library steps are lonely.
They never, never, pause and stay
I
On that bench for seniors only.
The truth from this is different, far.
What awful liars poets are!
How blithely doth the butterfly
Each flitting hour spend!
With fluttering from flower to flower,
Her days must fleetly wend.
Ah, let us, like the butterfly,
Be happy all the day,
For, boys and girls with faces bright,
This is the nicest way.
Get the Classified Ad habit.

lowing dance. Patrons and patronesses
were Madame Rose McGrew, Mr. and
Mrs. Roland Miller, and Mrs. Grace
Russell.
“Varsity Vanities,” presented Thurs
day night at the Heilig Theatre was one
of the largest University affairs of the
week, and so successful was it that it
may be necessary to repeat it for the
benefit of those students and towns
people who were unable to get seats.
Each of the skits was very clever, with
“Mummy Mine,” a musical comedy in
one act, written and directed by Imo
gene Letcher, the featflire of the even
ing’s entertainment. All of the parti
cipants in the “Vanities’’were Univer
sity students and a great deal of hidden
talent was brought to light.
Ten mothers residing in Eugene were
entertained by the Delta Zetas at a tea
given yesterday afternoon from four to
six o’clock at the chapter house. Dec
orations were of spring flowers. The
mothers formed a club which will meet
regularly and discuss matters of inter
est to the house.
Water polo was an innovation in the
swimming exhibition given by the de

Traveling in remote parts of the
world, in a house built on a Ford chas
sis, has its thrills for Sherman Cramer
and his wife, who passed through the
campus Friday afternoon on their way
to Alaska, from the Orient.
Mr. Cramer calls his portable mus
lin house “the house of many won
ders,” and he has made the term appro
priate with a collection of trophies that
he picked up on his travels. There are
odd picturs, old and curious flintlock
muskets, and trinkets of various des
criptions, that were picked up in out
of-the-way places.
“Travel is a great education, and an
experience that can never be taken
away from you,” said Mr. Cramer. He
carries a moving picture camera and
takes movie soenes in the unusual parts
of the world that he visits. He has
done this for five years, and informed
the Emerald reporter that the Ford he
is driving at present is his fifth.
