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.

One of the most enjoyable affairs of

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.

Stine, F Geout, F
