Class day exercises passed off very nicely at OAC, Tuesday after noon. There was an oration by Miss Alice Wicaiund, after which the flag was unfurled to the gaze of the multitude. This was followed by the class song by a chorus of senior girls, after which the class prophecy was made by Delbert Proebstel. The class poem, by Roy i Harlan, followed, to be followed in turn by the class will, by Miss Maud Roberts. All of the exercises . a were thoroughly appreciated by the largb crowd in attendance. H. S.

Will they be missed? To De sure, for they are to a large degree the life of the place. ' A very large attendance was noted at the exercises Wednes day morning. Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, state lecturer for the grange, made the principal ad dress and her remarks were well chosen. It is thought that she has the honor of being the first adv to address the graduates of OAC and their guests on an oc casion of this nature. There were manv other,exer cises and they were all of a pleas ing character. The program fol lows: ' About 850 people went from here on the excursion to Portland yester day.

Lafferty states that bis new store room win ne reaay ior occupancy by ilonenoerg & uady by July 1st. It is going to be a macnificent room for the use it is to be put to and a great improvement to the city. . Yesterday was what might be termed a Utile dull in Corvallis; in fact, it reminded one of what they might expect on a Sunday in the Holy City. Nearly every place of business was closed: few were bold enough to leave their homes. The elocutionary efforts of Guy Moore, who recently returned from a school of oratory in Chicago, were very much appreciated by those in attendance at tne alumni exercises Wednesday evening. He certainly merited the reception he received. We notice that in one of the Portland papers - a notice has been inserted calling for information regarding one Joseph Hawks, dead or alive. When last heard of he was in Nevada. He is an uncle of George Emerick, of this citv, and if alive is about iQ years of age, George is much interested in learn ing the whereabouts of the old gentleman. R. M . V eatch, one of the oldest graduates of OAC, made an address to those present at the alumni re union Wednesday evening that was well worth hearing.

There was bliss uninterrupted and in terrupted. There was discord in abundance to be followed by a restoratisn of narmony. It was farce comedy from start to finish and one that compelled interest, and one or two climaxes were irrcsistable. There is ' no doubt but the large audience was pieased--there was abundant evidence of this. The selection of the play A was a happy one it was a perfect fit. It was strong ly cast. The leading parts were taken by F. B. Davis, ' W. D. Proebstel. H. E. Rinehart, T. A. Garrow, K. Steiwer, M. D. McAllister, Misses Mary Danne- man, Alice wicklund, lena lar- tar, while the school girls of Miss Romney's academy (some of them very sly, mischievous and tom- bovish) were', represented by the following young ladies: L,eone Weber, Maud Roberts, L,ura Flett, Edna Osburn, Hazel Ra- ber, Edna Smith, Nellie Skelton, Georgie Herbert and ..Mabel Keadv. Ot the work of those in . the leading roles only good words can be spoken. The general verdict is that no class play given by OAC seniors eclipses this effort, should they even equal it. Much credit is due Mis. B . W Tohnson, who had the task of drilling those who took part, That she did her work well was demonstrated ' by the seniors Tuesday evening and there is nothing to be added.
