It has been suggested that a suit
aole name for the annual seniors'
excursion to the coast would be the
"Seniors' Fourth of July." The
name seems peculiarly suited to the
occasion, as it is the seniors' banner
celebration of the year, and coming
at a time so near tbe national cele
bration day the name "Seniors'
Fourth of July" seems to tell the
story of the big senior excursion
without further explanation.

While a parly given by Mis
Gertrude Nolan to the ninth gradt
graduatee was in progress a fw
nights ago, some one cut a section
of screen wire out of the back porch
lit ,he X nan residence and stole a
fmr gailon fr .-ezorfull ofic cream,
packer ai.d ail, and two large silver
berry spoons with which the cream
was to be dished out. The chief of
police has as y-t been unable to lo
Cxte even the freezer, which gives
rise to ihe belief that it was a nog
instead of a ".-kuuk" that got off
with the goods.
Strangers w'jo visit Corvallis
these days are surprised at the
rapid growth the town ia making
and all are ami zed at the size and
beau'y of some ot the new buildings

wmen'a buildiu , out on college
hill is regarded as lit le short of
wonderful for a town the size of
Corvallis, while othr buildings,
like the Johnson brick, are declared
to be suited to a citv like Portland.
Corvallia is certainly getting her
full share of plum- io the way of
new buildings, and these is a ru nor
that even greater things in thi line
are likely to materialize in the near
future.
