The "Stunt Program" given
by the different groups of the
Summer School on last Saturday
evening was, in many particulars,
the best "Stunt Program" given
at the Normal. The program
opened with a Pageant scene
representing the "Champoeg In
cident" in Oregon history.
Group I, consisting of Malheur,
Baker, Union, Umatilla, Hood
River, Gilliam, Morrow, Jeffer
son, ' Crook, Sherman, Wasco,
Grant, Harney and Wheeler, is
to be congratulated upon the
historical accuracy of the Pag
eant. Every detail of the Inci
dent which was of such moment
in the history of ' our State was
faithfully portrayed. The clos
ing tableau which depicted Ore
eon making her choice between
the United States and Great
Britian was especially effective
The singing of "Oregon" by the
entire audience was a most fitting
close for the entire Incident

Group III including Clackamas,

wasnington, ramhill, Tillamook,

new department in the Normal
and set a new standard of excel
lence for the Music Department
Group IV, Lincoln, Benton, Linn
and Marion, gave a "Stereopticon
Lecture" portraying features of
interest in their various counties.
This was most interesting, in
structive, and in soots amusinz.
The Group is to be commended
upon the happy selection of Sali
ent features from the counties
represented. The Photoplay,
'The Chinese Wedding," put on
by Group VI, Multnomah Coun
ty, portrayed a very realistic
and spectacular picture of an im
portant event in the life of a
Chinese maiden. Every scene
was artistically staged but the
last scene, "The Worship of
the Ancestral Tablets" was par
ticularly effective. The pro
gram was closed by Group II,
consisting of Klamath, Lake,
Jackson, Josephine, Douglas,
Curry and Coos, who gave the
"Pyramusand,Thisbe" playette
from Shakespeare's "Midsummer
Niffht's Dream." The staging
and costuming was an exact
replica of that done at the Globe
Theater when the Bard of Avon
anoeared in his own productions.
It was unique in every particular
and every participant deserved
special mention and most es
pecially the farries, whose flower
dance artistically and effectively
rinsed the scene. Between the
various Stunts was interspersed
with several musical selections.
Among them were violin solos by
Misses Kessi and Gentle, both
of which were greatly enjoyed
as were Miss Anderson sand Mr.
Hall's vocal solos.
President Ackerman spent last
Tuesday at Corvallis where he
lectured to the Summer school
students.

and that many of Oregon's dis
tinguished citizens will be there
to participate in one way or an
other. An orchestra and vocal
ists will furnish music each day
and at night there will be dances

some unique way. The Wil

are in correspondence with the
various commercial clubs and are
hoping to stir up something new
