The Corvallis Rod and Gun Club held a meeting last Friday evening in the office ot Yates & Yates, and was attended by about a dozen members. Busi ness ma'ters, pertaining to the tournament were transacted, and after the reports were made up, it was found that the boys were able to meet all the bills accumu lated, by the ' shoot, and had money left in their treasury. W. H. Currin who has held the position of treasurer since the birth of the , club over two years ago, handed in his resignation, which was accepted and Horace Ivocke was elected to fill the vacancy. As a token of respect his assistance in making the club a success, Mr. Currin was presented with a loving cup. The presentation was made by Fred Yates, who made a neat speech and was answered by Mr. Currin. The cup is a beauti ful one of silver, with the follow ing inscription on the side: "To W. H. Currin, as a token of esteem from the C. R. & G. Club." Johnny Get Your GunJ The next time Johnny goes gunning he isn't going alone not tor Johnny! And the next time he eats a duck supper it is going to be after he gets the duck. It is well for Johnny that he enjoyed that .duck supper he was going to eat in anticipation. To get at the facts of the case is rather difficult.. Johnny went gunning alone, . and he is very reticent about the matter. Every thing went right till he reached the swamp Then his good luck struck him. Some people hunt all day for ducks and don't see a one. When they are not looking for ducks they see them by the hundreds. Johnny was not looking for holes, but he found the deepest one there with out the slightest trouble. Some people hunt ior luck and some people fall into it. Johnny fell into it not the luck, but the hole and he claims the owner ship of that hole by the right of discovery. To mark it so he would know it again he left his gun in the hole. When he fell in he "rung out" a wild shout for help, then he crawled out and wrung out his shirt. Johnny came home, wet but not discour aged. When he realized that his sweetheart was not going to be a widow, he felt better. In the meantime we hope no one will jump his claim, and when he gets courage enough to go back, he'll "get his gun." One of the most delightful and successful social affairs it has ever been our; pleasure to chronicle was a party given by the Sorosis society, when they entertained the Jeffersonians," on last Satur day night in the - former's rooms at the College. The paity was unique but very entertaining, and greatly' enjoyed by the young ladies' guests of the evening, who, by the way, were all boys. It was called a song party and all the games pertained to music and each girl represented a song. There were, nearly fifty young people present and were chaper ontd by Miss Snell and MrsJ Danneman. .'.'- One of the most pleasant features of the evening was the composition of a short story with the titles of numerous; songs. The first prize in this contest was won by Carl Stebmger, while Johnnie Buster succeedtd in cap turing the booby. In the guess ing the costumes, Roy Groves succeeded in naming the most correctly.
