JOHNSON Normal Activities Reflected by The Lamron Student Hody Proposes Another Paved Court On Wednesday it student body meeting wus called to discuss several important matters. Minn Taylor ex plained how the summer terms are really a part of our school year. She exjiluincd that each term there was a slight fiurplu.i from our student body fee which helps to carry on the activ ities of the next term. Some of the money from the fall term is now be ing used to pay for our base ball fairies Mid tennis matches. At the lose of lu.st summer term there was Oiiie money left in the treasury. The summer students did riot quite feel Jiut lhi.4 belonged to the students of the next Uim so they voted $250 as a unking fund for a swimming tank and the rent went for our football games last fall. In no way do we blame the summer itudents for desiring a swimming pool. Even on the coldest winter day many of u.i wish for a tank so we heartily sympathise with the view point of thehe students. However such a tank would be very costly and xpensive to maintain. It would take us years to accumulate enough money to build and operate a tank ho we can inly hope for a special appropilation from the legislature for this purpose. Looking at it from this point of view it would seem wise to re-appro- mm Undejahn How gladly 1 welcome the verdant spring onion, that sheds o'er my garden its capable breath.

A 1 6 vr3 I priate this money for something more within our possibilities. One of these things is another paved court. As long as the college tourney is to be held here each year it is reasonable that we should strive to offer them the best possible courts to play on. Then, two, within the past it has been practically impossible for a be ginner or medium player to play on the paved court, due to the fact that these courts were in use for varsity practice. Play hard, varsity people, but there are many other students who also deserve a good court to play on. Let us think about this and at our next meeting be ready to re-ap- propriate this money for the building of a new court. President Landers then told us that the flag rope broken on May Day morning had been repaired at a cost of ten dollars. We voted that this expense should be met by taking five dollars from each of the class treasu ries. Practice Tennis Game Lost to Linfield College Last Wednesday the O. N. S. ten nis team played a practice game with one of the hardest schools in the con-. ference, Linfield college at McMinn- ville. Although the match was in fa vor of Linfield, the Normal team play ed good tennis and made a very cred itable showing. The first event was men's singles in which Jack Glaser represented the Normal. It was a fast game due to the fact that Jack found his man very able to place balls and cover his own court well. However Jack succeeded in taking the first two sets. Frances Ann Blake represented O. N. S. in women's singles. She met a girl much larger than she and had an exceptional ability of placing a hard fast ball in the farthest corner of the court. After some hard playing, the match went to Linfield. The next match was mixed doubles played by Teddy Graham and Helen Kirschner for the Normal. The splen did team work shown by the McMinn ville representatives resulted in them taking the first set, but Helen and Teddy came back strong and took the second set. After a hard fight, Lin field won the third set. The men's doubles was the fourth match played. At first the Linfield men baffled Jack and Teddy and sue ceeded in taking the first set. But not for long. Our men took the last two sets and added another match to our credit. The women's doubles was begun while the men's doubles was still being played. Isabel! e McLelland and Anna Hendricks played for our school. This match was lost due again to the splendid team work shown by the Lin field players. Linfield took three out of the five matches. The score for , individual matches were as follows: .. Men's singles, Monmouth 7 5 Women's singles, Linfield 6 1 6 4 Mixed doubles, Linfield 6 1, 4 6 0-3. , Men' doubles, Monmouth 1 6, 64, 62.

Monmouth Wins Practice Tennis With Newberg The Varsity tennis people are out for some good hard practice now be fore the tourney, May 23 and 24. Newberg came over for a practice game on Friday. It was a hard fight for all the players, but Monmouth came out on top. We put up only four players. They were Blake, Kerschner, Glaser and Graham. Jack Glaser, playing the men's singles for us, took the score with two sets out of three. How ever, the women's singles on the other court was ' not as easy. Frances Blake met a hard player in the New berg singles. The score kept quite close until the Newberg player made a final spurt and won the third set, giving them the point. Monmouth won women's doubles with Blake and Kerschner playing and men's doubles by the swift work of Glaser and Graham. Kerschner and Graham, in mixed doubles, took the honors for us again. There was some clever placing on both sides, but Monmouth advanced on her extra clever pick ups. This day's work speaks well for our place in the tourney. Ineffective fielding and throwing were directly responsible for the de feat of the Normal squad at the hands of Pacific College at baseball Friday on the local grounds. The game started out as though it was going to be a pitchers' battle, neither side scoring in the first in ning. Pacific worked a man around to third where he was trapped for the fi nal out in this inning. - Summers, lead off man for O. N. S. smacked the first pitched ball for a clear single over third and everything looked rosy, but the next three men were not so fortunate. McEldowney J and Ray flew out and Breitenbusher u nim padfic men in by strik. ing out. orn, .ber twice in next frame by yirtue of a hitt an error and two walks. They added one more in the fourth, three in the sixth three in the eighth and a final score in the ninth. The Normal school squad got her first runs in the sixth inning.

He was out at the , plate nrhpn Rreitenbusher rolled to the pitcher. Ward popped up between the plate and the pitcher. The pitch er and catcher started for it but amidst the yells of "Look out tor the bicycle" both missed it, letting Ray across with the final run. Kaup pitched wonderful ball, Btrik ing out fifteen Pacific sluggers, three times as many as the Pacific pitcher, - yet he lost 10 to 3 It's hard to lose after pitching that kind of game. but until the team gets some of the (errors out of its system we can not hope for much better, for errors will beat any team on earth. The attendance at the game was a little better than at the previous ones yet it was far from being what it should have been. Backing has won many games that would have been lost otherwise. Next Wednesday 0. N. S. plays the Albany college nine on the local field. Albany has not been defeated this season, so come out and watch them receive their first setback. Next Friday the Normal squad will journey to Chemawa to take on the Indians in a return eame.

Ask anyone of the neo- ple who attended the picnic given by the Independence critic teachers for their practice of this year. The picnic was held across the river from Independence last Thursday af ternoon. Any time from 2:30 to 3:15 people might be seen on the streets of Monmouth hurrying to the bus and well equipped with spoon and cnp. Most of the time at the picnic was spent in playing games; especially base ball. Special features of the games were the excellent playing of Miss Barnum who displayed rare judgement in firmly grasping the bas es when she reached them; and Miss Goldstaub who always put the ball so far out in the brush that Jack Miller couldn't find it. But not all the time was spent in playing. The odors of hot coffee, po tato salad baked beans, etc, soon grew more interesting than baseball Miss Hinkle took all the credit for making the angel food cake, thus ex plaining her absence from school the other day. After lunch groups from the different rooms sang songs. Just as the twilight shadows began to fall a tired but happy bunch departed for Monmouth, each person with the deepest feeling of appreciation to his or her critic for the good time. The student body was privileged in hearing Dr. Charles Woodbury give an interesting talk in chapel on Em erson. The fact that he was person ally acquainted with Mr. Emerson made it a very strong appeal. He made us feel that we knew the man, not merely his works. At the age of 24, Dr. Woodbury had ventured into the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson. In answer to his knock a pleasant voice said: "Come.' He found Mr. Emerson a simple, good, quiet, modest gentleman. At that time, Dr. Woodbury describes him as being a man of about 62. When he talked he did. not seem to see the person he was talking to but rather the subject he was talking about. His voice never became rough but was always beautiful and harmo nious. - RATS Are dangerous pests.
