Not all of our successful men are to be found in great cities. One such is Harold W.

Y' As a boy, Cochran was extremely poor. His family lived on a Bmall farm on the outskirts of Clarion. His start as a trader came when as a boy he broke a button off his trousers.

The town grocer gave him a job as errand boy at one dollar a week.- Because of his pleasant smile, suave man ner and infectious good nature, the townsfolk grew to know him and to give him individual orders for groceries when he came to their homes. When five years later he opened a little "hole-in-the-wall" grocery of his own, two-thirds of the townfolk came to him to trade. Cochran's success came through clover advertising.

No effort was spared and the cottage was left bright uric shiny. JUNIORS ELECT NEW PRESIDENT The Juniors arc extremely fortu nate in the election of such a capable and willing worker as Mrs. Heath. We are all sure now that with so competent a president the Juniors stand a chance to win. Let us all get behind her and boost for our class and get that trophy. There was a good turn out at our meeting and we made many plans for our most important of days. We discussed the ringing of the bell to announce the beginning of the grand occasion and decided we would stand for the resolution made by the stu dents last year after destruction and much trouble was caused by the in cessant ringing of the bell through the entire night. Miss Taylor explained that our pageant which is going to be very spectacular is lovely and unique in movement, color and music.

In the ab sence of the president. Ruth Rey nolds, Mr. Ostien conducted the meeting. A definite schedule has, as yet. not been decided upon. The features will be ntuch the same as last year with the additional event of a bag rush. This will be between Junior and Senior boys, taking place early Saturday morning. Mr. Ostien gave the score which will be given to each event as follows: Bag Rush n May Pole ifl Volley Ball 7' Tennis 25' Folk Dance 15 Original Drill 20; Women's Base Ball 8 From now on, hard work is antici-' pated by both classes. The Juniors,' having been without a president, have placed a great deal of the responsi bility of choosing chairmen upon the secretary, Helen Parrish. She, .with I tv, .iA t m;. T.-.i i ..i.j.jl mw niu v i'iidb xayiur lias selected Marguerite Loretz and Audrey Wood as chairmen of the original drill. As the name implies the drill must be absolutely original. The girls can! hove no help whatever from faculty member. Not only the drill, but the costumes must be planned and carried out by the girls themselves. Thelma Thompson, president of the Senior class, called a meeting for the purpose of discussing May Day plans. She appointed as chairman of the original drill, Helen Gehret and Mau- rine Brown, and of Senior May Pole, Alice Smith and Gertrude Fredden. Frances Ann Blake with the aid of Alma Sarpola will take charge of the Senior folk dance. AH interested in the tennis tour nament have been asked to sign up for it right away. Those who have signed are anxiously waiting to see who their opponents will be in the try out. -The two classes at present seem to be pretty well matched, as will be noticed in the Duce sets we hear of. Baseball has not fully organized yet. Thursday the Seniors chose Ann Hendricks as team captain. Soon both teams will start good hard prac tice. Vespertines Elect . Vespertine election was held a few days ago and our new officers are as follows: Myrtle Mortenson, presi dent; Lilah Halloway, ' Secretary; Leona Ehret, treasurer; Olga Wold, sergeant-at-arms; Marguerite Ty berg, Reporter. " All would-be Vespertines take no tice! You will be allowed to join our society next Monday evening. Come with your broadest smile. The Ves pertine goat is ready for some fun. A meeting of the full Board of Re gents will be held herein Wendesday of this week. They will consider plans for the extension of the work of the Normal school in the state. Milton A. Miller, a Democratic candidate for United States senator was a visitor on the campus Wednes day. Covers For Annual Chosen The David G. Molloy Company of Chicago sent a finished "Norm" cov er to the Staff for approval. Several members of the faculty also passed judgment on it and they all feel that everyone will be satisfied and pleased with the cover. Miss Daniels, editor, sent a telegram to the Molloy Com pany to have the allotted number of covers completed. They are to be leather covers with an orange bronze design. The Normal Seal is very cleverly arranged. The design is both artistic and distinctive. The Hicks-Chatten Engraving Com pany of Portland is constantly work ing on the inside designs. They have returned the Senior pictures, and their arrangement on the page is very different to what has been in former "Norma". Twenty Junior pictures and four Senior pictures - were turned in by students entering this last term. "Red" Ray has written the foot ball and basket-ball games up in a hair raising and breathless manner. He has also seen to it that there are pictures to accompany each event of the athletic seasons.

The home is under the supervision of Superintendent C. T. Webb, better known as "Daddy Webb." The girls and boys live in separate collages, each one having a house mother and cook, who are assisted in the work by the children. The boys also help with the farm work. The home was begun by the W, C. T. U. women of Oregon and when complete will consist of sixteen cot tages. There are only two complet ed but the Portland cottage will be completed in a short time. This cot tage was built by the city of Port land. The next one to be built will be known as the Baptist. Cottage. There will also be flower gardens and a park by the lake when the Home is completed. This summer every child will have a flower garden to take care of. School began at the Home Febru ary ninth. Before this time the children had attended the Corvallis school. Under the leadership of Mr. Beattie and Miss Ruth Anne Hoff man, critic, the school was soon in good working order. The first four weeks of school were held in the dining room of the girls' cottage. The pupils sat around the dining tables and kept their books in the center of the tables. There were no blackboards or other school equip ment, and the girls, Doris Price, Ro wena Hermann, Vera Jungjohann and Leo Jones, who went out as the first group of practice teachers, found it very interesting to help es tablish a new school. The last two weeks were spent in the new school house which made the work even more interesting than before. There are forty-three pupils and everyone full of "pep". . The students who are doing prac tice teaching at the Farm Home the first six weeks, of this term are, Merle Straley, Ruth Morris, Minnie Kaplinger and Mildred Haight. Last, but not least, we should re member that Oregon Normal is doing its bit to help the Farm Home, not I only in school work, but that the , student body two years ago bought .one acre of land for the Home and this year with student body donations and the money raised by the Senior Cottage "Cow" program we are buy ing a cow for the Home. "Oscar" is not there yet but will be soon. Events at Rickreall We people here at Rickreall would like the rest of the Normal folks to know that we are still in existance, in fact we are very much so. We surely started our teaching with a full measure of pep and in 'tercst and it is increasing every day. (We thought we had a lot of work to do so we have adopted the Coue 'method of thinking and now. lesson plans are a pleasant pastime. I On Friday the first week the worn en of Rickreall gave a cafeteria din- J ner for the benefit of the church. It was a wonderful dinner and everyone had an enjoyable evening. Tuesday, April 1, Mrs. Miller went to Portland to hear Reinald Werren i rath the famous baritone singer. She was quite enthusiastic about his work. On Wednesday evening, April 2, Miss Emmons and Mrs. Miller went ito Salem to see "The Fool". It was quite the most interesting production of its kind that has been in Salem for some time. . On Friday night, April 4 the high school boys gave their orations. The contest was to see who would repre-j sent the school at the county contest in Dallas. This was the preliminary try-out for the national constitu tional contest that is being worked up in the high schools of the United States. Eugene Dennet was the con testant picked to represent Rickreall. The judges were Mr. Butler, Mr. Bowling, and Mr. Schutte. We also appreciate very much the music of fered by the Misses Lota Pierson, Myrtle Mortensen, Pansy Van Hous en, and Beth Rogers. Miss Josephine. Townsend was also a visitor here that night. - " This wonderful weather has given us all Spring fever. On Sunday Miss Emmons and Mrs. Miller went with a party on a combined trip and pic nic to Silver Creek falls. They strug gled through veritable oceans of mud but reached the falls and as they said . "it was well worth it." - The Music Department has a right to be proud and pleased with the splendid concert presented by the Woman's Glee Club, Monday night.
