were asked to join in the search
for him.
Moore left Eugene February 2S
to "spend a weekend in Port
land,” telling his landlady he
would be back Sunday evening.
He has not been seen in Eugene
since.
Investigation has been carried
on by Moore's father, Earl B.
Moore, John Day, prominent
eastern Oregon attorney, since it
first appeared that Moore was
not going to return to school. Mr.
Moore later turned the case over
to C. C. Spears, Portland private
investigator, and ex-head of the

To a Sophomore
It is an awful bother
To stroke a tender face,
And realize that stubble is
Abounding everyplace.
Good gosh, what will it look like
In church on Easter morn.
I stroke my weatherbeaten chin
And sigh a sigh forlorn.
But I look at some poor class
mates,
And then such thoughts disperse.
I s’pose could I not grow one,
It would be even worse.
■—J.W.S.
