The picnic season has arrived in
all its glory and this last week was
typical of what the rest of the term’s
week-ends will resemble. The Mc
Kenzie highway, the mill-race, and
all the nearby picnic spots for which
Eugene is famous, have cofne into
their own, and will undoubtedly
dominate the tone of the social ac
tivities till school closes.
Aside from the predominance of
picnics, several house formals and
spring informals were given during
the week, and the houses and lawns
■on the campus presented a festive
apearance both afternoon and evo
nings.

COME! HELP US CELEBRATE!
May the Ninth marks the anniversary of the advent in Eugene of de luxe
entertainment, the birthday of the McDonald. That Eugene appreciated the
many modern appointments for comfort and perfection of presentation is evi
denced in the patronage the McDonald has enjoyed since that memorable
night, three years ago. It is with a feeling of keen delight, that we announce
a full week of celebration, May 7 to 12, an ‘‘Anniversary Week” during which
we will present two of the most colorful programs ever seen on any screen
and stage.
