February Students to Be Hosts at Boating; Party Mundt Memorial Loan r'uud Uruni Social Notes. BY DOROTHY DUN'IU'AT. THE June '16 class vaudeville given FrTday afternoon and evening and Saturday evening, May 19 and 20, in the school auditorium under the direction of Melville Brown and Guy Reynolds, of the Baker Players, was a wonderful success. All the acts were extremely good, snappy skits presented in a fin ished, convincing way that "took" at once with the large audiences at all three performances. "Some Call It Luck," Melville Brown's dramatic playlet, was splendidly pre sented by Imogens Seton and Robert Cosgriff. The other big act was "Dream Love," a musical comedy by Mr. Brown. Frances Faye Bailey was charming- as Mary, the country girl. She sang the song hit. "Dream Love," which gives the comedy its name, with splendid effect. Sterling Smith was de lightful as the father and Howard Hutchinson scored a big success as Robert Green, the aviator lover. The chorus, composed of Hilma Fox, Marian Spoeri, Gene Geisler, Mary McDonald, Vernie Flanders, Clara Zaik, Geravere Fleming and Margaret Cundy, gave the air of a true musical comedy to this operetta. The best song and dance act was that put on by Russell Sewall and Alice Greene. Their act was a star, number in the last vaudeville, and they added to their former triumph with one of the most popular acts on the bill. Appropriate scenery and stunning costumes for all the acts added the pro fessional touch to the production. The music, upon which depends so much of the success of a vaudeville, was de lightful. A special orchestra of June class members, led by Miss Constance Piper at the piano, furnished the music. The vaudeville was ably managed by Robert Cosgriff and Alan Slade. The proceeds of the performances will be used in publishing the June '16 class Cardinal. , , The annual German entertainment will be an event of Friday evening. May 26.

The dreamy call ot the Western wood pewee. the loud, clear notes of the oriole, the rolling song of the purple finch and the lazuli buntlrnr. the plaintive note of the goldfinch and the vesper hymn of the russe V-backed thrush are all familiar Summer sounds that one may hear in various parts of bur city. And so If we were to sum up the bird population of Portland we would find that civilization is not real ly driving them out. but they are adapting themselves to circumstances and the bird numbers will thrive as long as we will give them a little protection.
