(MONMOITH sI'rVIAI.l The midyear coiumeiKH-uteiit exer cise at the State Normal were held this week. On Sunday V"- Clark Bower, of Albany, delivered the calaureate sermou to a large ud very appreciative audience. The sermcn was from the text, "We shall I like Him for we shall see Him a He is." The central thought of hie senium waa pure Ideal for life ami steadfatnee of purpose Id holding to It, always viewing the things of life lu a cheerful way, optimism being one of the most potent factors of life. The sermon was a uiastertul production and denoted rich scholarship. On Monday the claw day exe rases were held in the evening and the tone of work reflected much credit on all concerned. The poem by Miss Jenseu in blank verse was a clean, creditable paper and was well delivered. The oretiont of Miss Stella Hampton, "Did He Knowr" of Mies Eilen Johnson, "Madam De Sfail," and Mies Mary Shofner. "A Character fctuay-jaeoo RaIil" were all papers ef much more h.n nrrfinrv merit. They were well -v. delivered and well received. Miss Bertha Leader gave the class will, which contained many happy suggestions and supplied much amuse ment. Miss Bertha White gave the opening address in her usual pleasing manner. W. S. Buell, on behalf of the Fresh man class, presented the Seniors with a beautiful floral horseshoe in a neat speech, which was responded to by Miss White in a happy wav. The class picture, a beautiful paint ingThe Pean Ball waa presented to the State Normal by Miss Naomi in an aDDropriate paper. The painting is one of great historical in terest and will add much to the beanty nf tha assembly room. Taken as a whole the February '04 class deserve much credit for the class day program. The music tor the occasion was sup plied by the Normal Cadet orchestra, under the efficient leadership of Prof. Frank Lucas, while W. A. Petteyg rendered a violin solo that was well received. At the gymnasium on Tuesday a jollification meeting was held over the exams, and a burlesque game of basket . ball between the Hibernians and the Faculty supplied a fund ot amutement and many hearty laughs to the crowd. Tuesday evening the graduating exer cises proper were held. The invoca tion was given by Bev. Dr. Thompson, of Independence. Miss Millie Erase gave the galuta tory, "The Essentials of Education. " The paper was a good production, clear and concise, and was presented in a manner very pleasing to the audi ence. The oration by Miss Ida Yoder,"An Oregon Educator," was a tribute to the life and labors of the late President Thomas F. Campbell. The orations of Miss Mertie Auten, "The Kinder garten," and Miss Fannie Ziegler, "The Aim of Education,,' were both good papers. Lewis Hoisingtou deserves much credit for the manner of delivery and subject matter of the valedictory. Though ill and laboring under diffi culties the paper was fully appreciated by the audience. His subject was 'Oregon School Systems." The orations throughout were well prepared and it is but fair to say this is one of the best midyear commence ments ever held here. The commence ment addreBS was given by Prof. H. Jtf. Buckham in his scholarly and force ful way. The class address was made by State Superintendent J. H. Acker man. In a pleasant and effective way Superintendent Ackerman emphasized the need of true loyalty to work. The diplomas were delivered by President Bessler in an appropriate and well timed talk. Miss Nina Nick lln, of Junction, rendered two violin solos, responding to encores. As a bild Miss Nina shows remarkable tal ent and evidently has great musical Ability. The Normal Cadet orchestra played WEST SlDK KNTKlvli'vISl'., IN I'M " " Correspondents SweepJjieField; several number in their usual phas ing way and it is but fair to say that the cttUeti of Monmouth fully ap preciate tho woak of the orchestra. The Angelus. The Angelus has arrived. What Is the Augelus? Where la the Angelus? The Angelus Is the most ular and best quality ladies' 2-V dress shoe Ui the world. The Angelus Is now on sale at S. M.

The Miase Eva and Evea Applegate, of Youcalla, have been visiting rela tives aud friends here for the past week. Prof. 11. II. Kelt, principal of the Ballston schools, spent part of last week in Monmouth. Hon. A. Noltuer, of Portland, has been here the past week ou business. Miss Foshay, of Albany, and Miss Wetherbee. of Eugene, graduates of the Normal, were visiting their Alma Mater this week. Paul Fugate arrired here this week from Nebraska and is viBiting relatives. He expects to locate In Oregon. One of the most enjoyable affairs of the year was the students' hop held In the W. O. W. hall Saturday night. About thirty couples participated. The ladies' basket ball team met a similar team from Albany College last Friday uigbt. While the Normal won by a large score. 3 to 15, still the game was stubbornly contested and was a fine exhibition of clean, good natured playing. The goal throwing of the Misses Leader was the feature of the game. The Normal girls hare a record that certainly says they can play ball, haviog never met defeat in their three years of playing. The remains of Charles N. McCaleb, who waa drowaed February 3, while hunting on the John Day river, were interred In the K. of P. cemetery last Monday. Funeral services were held as the Christian church and were in chargs of the W. O. IV, of which order he was a member. Mr. McCaleb was born in Winchester, Va., February 16, 1873, coming to Polk county, Oregou, in 1880. He graduated from the Nor mal in 1897, was married to Miss Kittie Corn well in 1899. Has been located in Moro, Ore., since '97, and has been deputy sheriff for four years. Mr. Mc Caleb was a most estimable young man and his untimely death is mourned by a host of friends. Bedlam broke loose last night when time was called at the end of the first half and it was seen that the Normal team had held the University oi Wash ington's basket ball team to an even core. The champions of the north west, seeing that the team they were using could not win the game, put "Big Tom" McDonald, one of the greatest athletes of the country, in at center. The work of this man saved the day for Washington, the score be ing 20 to 12. The game.was rough and not nearly so scientific as many of the games that have been pulled off in the gymnasium, Washington relying largely on brawn. Credit must be given McDonald as one of the most skillful players that has ever been on the Normal floor. The line up: Normal. U. of W. Murphy, F cap. McDonald, F Stine, F Geout, F Crowley, C T. McDonald, C Smith, O Wallar, O Butler, G McCroary, G Field goals thrown Murphy 1, Stine 2. Smith 1, Geout 2, T. McDonald 4, McCroary3. Goals from fouls Murphy 4, Wallar 2. Referee Hill, of Seattle.
