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-

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

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.
Women's doubles, Linfield 63, 6 1

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

The attendance at the game was a

should have been. Backing has won
many games that would have been
lost otherwise.

Albany college nine on the local field.
Albany has not been defeated this
season, so come out and watch them

Practice teaching isn't all trials and
tribulations. 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. -
