" 3 3E YEA It AND WORTH IT. 2E Ml Ban! p I T-i, V C: Z- ' "Til I Furniture Needs In Baltimore, a farmer named Meyerly Is said to be plowing up a good wheat field, with a sub soil plow, having been told there is gold in his lund. He won't find gold, but if he plows deeply enough, and plows his wheat un der, Tie will improve his soil, and increase his farm's value. . In tho second part of Faust, Goethe tells of the farmer plowing deep because under the Emperor's law he was allow sd to keep all 'buried treasure, "turned over by the plow." That was probably an ingenious scheme to make the farmer plow deeper, make his soil richer, and thus be able to pay heavier taxes. . Tho State of Kentucky killed throo men by electricityK two white, one colored, one white man seventy years old. Forty-six minutes after they began walking to the death chair, one after the other,, all were dead. Only one spoke, as ho was strapped into the chair. It was Frank Thomas, white man, who said, as the light was shut out from his eyes for ever by tho electrocution mask, "Good night, I'm going home." Wouldn't it be interesting to know where, how, in what home those three men will awake if at all. Will the black man still be black, when he comes to and dimly remembers how he died? Will the gray-haired murderer still be seventy years old, or begin again as a new baby? Interest ing questions. . College young ladies, of the Young Women's Christum Asso ciation, tell working girls to dress 'plainly and demurely for their souls' sake and to impress possi ble husbands with their good -qualities. Sensible Helen Gwynne, retiring president of the Y. W. C. A., , who is a factory worker, and has presided over an assem bly of 80,000 factory girls, tells these girls to dress as conspicu ously as they can, "even flashily." The rich girl, says Miss Gwynne, can; afford to dress.nlainly. That sets i her off in her luxurious sur roundings. But the workina eirl. in ner plain home, must dress as well as she can, by way of con trast with her surroundings, if she wants to marry. . sensible Miss Gwynne.

Each looked again be .'ore they could believe that their ungratulations were due to Thelma underlund. Graduation Garb A question was in the minds of oine of the Senior girls, whether or ;ot, they might wear their graduation tresses at the Baccalaureate exer :!sc8. At a meeting of the girls once jefure, they decided to wear dark dresses and dark hats, but it seemed that some had changed their minds. When the question was brought up the second time, there was quite a little discussion on the matter, How ever, again the girls voted to wear durk. It seemed to be the general feeling that dark dresses would nat urally be worn to church, therefore the same idea should be carried out that Sunday. Student body election was held last Wednesday in Room 12. It was an interesting election to all the students because the life of the school next year depends so much on who handles student body affairs. oeim Uncle Jahn The crisis in an industry, like diggin' coal, ye know gives rise to apprehensions of the winter with its snow, and the crisis in the meat-supply, or grain that makes our bread, keeps the average consumer in a constant state of dread. . . . And it sends the prices sky ward, every time the crisis frowns, when the life preserv er's out of reach, of course the sailor drowns. . . .While the wreckin' crew is patchin' up more economic laws, the panic devil tears us with his unre lentin' claws. ... I have watched the operation through so many gloomy days, that I harbor my suspicions of the feller that it pays. There's a reason, at the bot tom of each economic mess, and when a trouble's chronic, it is hard to cure I guess. . . . Ain't it time for changin' doctors when the treatment seems to fail ? Can small-pox treat itself without the drugs a-growin' stale? We'll never find the remedy in. self-inflicted laws, while the pestilence is spreadin under treatment by its cause! IB BE CUBE YOU'RE BI6HT THEM SO AHEAP - BUT AUiO BE SUR.B YOU'RE YVRON6 . HI Everyone rather expected Mrs. Heath to be chosen president, and so she was. Three people, Mrs. Heath, Otto Petersen and Isabelle Brein gan were nominated to fill the posi tion. Heath took the final vote by quite a large majority. This was mainly for two reasons: First ev eryone knows what sort of work was done by the Junior. Class president this year and knows that student body affairs will go over with a bang next year if she is in charge. Secondly Mr. Peterson and Miss Breingan are being seriously consid ered for holding other positions in student body affairs next year. Gene Faulkner was elected to the position of vice president. This is a very important position, for vice president of the student body becomes president of the student council. The secretary, also becomes a member of student council. Next year Margarite Loretz will occupy Frieda Cumming's chair, as minute keeper and official letter writer. Addie Graham is song leader. She is the girl the school needs for next year. Lots of pep and go behind her. She was yell leader and song leader in her high school so we will have an experienced hand, guiding our bird like voices. Addie is always well liked aind that is a characteristic a song leader always needs. For temporary chairman of sum mer school the students elected Lil lian Schroeder. This is an import ant position as the summer students usually elect that person for perman ent chairman. We are sure they will this time at any rate because who could do better than Lillian? Last but most certainly not least, the Lamron will be under the super vision of Florence Wolf as editor and Irving Swenson as business manager. They were both elected unanimously by the student body. Miss Wolf has acted as assistant editor all this term nnd knows all about thejns and outs of the business. Swenson has been very efficient this year in the busi ness work of the paper and the stu dent body is fortunate in having him here next year, so that he may in struct some junior in the art of be ing a manager. The Norm workers will be elected sometime next week, but guesses are already, being made as to who will hold the offices of editor and business manager. Faculty Picnic Last Thursday afternoon was an exciting one for the faculty. Eleven machines carried the happy party to the scene of the picnic, the bank "of the Rickreall river. Big fires were started, tables set, and frying pans put on the open fire to heat. Mr. and Mrs. Butler were official ham cutters, others got the hot skillets filled with the home cured ham and fried it to a golden blown. Eggs were cracked into the ham grease and fried. In the mean time coffee was made, and appetites were whetted by a game of ball, In a short time all was ready and the group gathered round the fire with plates and cups to receive their j ra ion of delicious- ham, eggs and colTee. Seated at the table they found bread and butter, sweet pickles and salads. No one was urged to "full to," everybody 'fell.' Ice cream ami cake made bv Miss Wood's Rural Homemaking class completed the feast. The process of cleaning up was not very lengthy. Why? Ask the of thp faculty who have earned in weight this week. The ball game was renewed with a bigger force of players than before dinner. A new "Babe Ruth" was discovered in Mr. Bowling. Two great minds ran in the same chan- nel, namely that of Mr. Savage and that needed changing, as tne con Mr. Zeller, result is that Mr. Savage stitution reads now, the assistant can now laugh only on the left side editor . and business manager are of his face. With such good pitcher as President Landers and Mr. Dadds, aided by such splendid teams, the game would probably still be in pro- gress, if Mr. Beattie's side hadn't won and the dark come down making it too difficult to see. , The tired and much happier party returned to Monmouth ; about 8:30, talking about the good time-they'd . . . hpA and feeline very thankful to Miss Wood for her biff part in see ino- that the Dartv was nronsrly fed. imtw- A Senior class meeting was called on Wednesday, by the president,! - i. He shall appoint what assis Thelma Thompson, for the purpose of tants he needs. discussing plans for what the class' The chairman of the amendment would leave to the school when it committee presented the changes to left in June. Mr. Hickenbottom the student body on Friday. It was gave a detailed report on what the committee had done toward a final "Gentle" and "Oscar" Those people who had been won dering about what had happened to the "Cow Money," had their curiosity satiufied last Wednesday in chapel. Harold Price our Student Body Presi dent read a letter to the student body which he received from the Child ren's Farm Home at Corvallis. This letter stated that .the management being unable to purchase one cow, had purchased two fine Holstiens. They wished to know if the students wanted the two cows acredited to them and if so to send a name for tie other cow. The student body decided to keep both cows. The next thing was to find a name for the lemaining cow. Mrs. Gray sug gested that there was' one member of the faculty who possessed a name describing a quality which every good cow should possess, therefore she moved that the cow be named "Gentle". This name was unan imously approved by the student body. . Henceforth this cow will be called Gentle. Since the student body has voted that we name the other cow Gentle, it would be a good idea if the stu dent body would also vote to change the first cow's name from Oscar, to that of Savage. Pacific College, Winner At Baseball and Tennis One of the last baseball games of the season was played with Pacific College Friday. Mr. Zellar, the base ball team and four tennis players arrived in Newberg shortly before three and the baseball and the tennis tourney both started promptly at three-thirty. When the last inning in baseball was over the score stood 8 to 3 in favor of Newberg. There are various reasons why our men lost but it was not through lack of fight Fate also was seemingly against our tennis team. The Newberg man seemed determined to take the men's singles and soon had taken two sett from Jack Glaser. Fred Beck and Jack Glaser then tried to carry of! the honors in men's doubles. New berg took the first set and 0. N. S the second and it seemed for a whilt that we might take the third. But the Pacific college boys were deter mined and finally took the last set. Frances Ann Blake and Helen Kirschner were obliged to play wom en's doubles on a dirt court which seemed to take the pep out of both of them with the result that the New berg girls took two sets, 8-6, and 6-4. Helen and Jack defaulted on the mixed doubles due to lack of time. Frances Ann then played worn en's singles and although she lost the first set succeeded in taking the last two sets, thus saving the day for O. N. S. arrangement. The class voted in favor of a gift to the school of a drinking fountain placed in the grove. This seemed to be the best thing that was proposed and everyone liked the idea. A drinking fountain in the grove will not only add to the beauty of the campus but it is a thing greatly need ed. Now that we are to have the tennis tourney here every year it will be especially advantageous. Stage scenery had been suggested but the class felt that the fountain would be more useful and last longer In other words: "A thing of beauty and a joy forever." At a student body meeting last Wednesday, the studen body officers were nominated for next year. The present Norm staff thought it very advisable for the students to nomin ate their successors at the same time President, Harold Price explained to the students that the constitution stated that the Norm staff should not be elected until October. One of the students made a motion to ammena the constitution ana tne motion earned, lhd constitutional ammendment committee was: Alice M. Smith, chairman, Lilah Hallaway ranees Blake, L,ouise liauyburton and Otto Petersen. Mr. Savage, also helped this committee a great deal, W'hen the committee met they found that there were several phrases elected by the student Doay. ine committee felt as though the editor and business manage? knew who they wanted to assist them better than the .entire student body, so that section was cnangea. I The amendments were presented to the student body as follows: Article V Section 2. The duties of the edi- ' . till -n . tor snail De as ioiiows; - 1 3. The editor shall appoint what assistants he needs. I Section 3. The duties of the Busi- ness Manager shall be as follows: moved and seconded that the report be accepted.
