Maximums Elect Officers The Maximum class of the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school at Forest Grove was par tially organized Oct. 1907. A little less than two ' ears later the ciass charter was granted by “ The Board o f the Methodist Episcopal church” and “ The In ternational Sunday School Asso ciation.” When the charter was received there were forty members of the class. Mrs. Aggie Ginn Gould was at that time teacher of the class and remained teacher until the last Conference at Eugene saw fit to move Rev. Gould and wife to another field of labor, Mrs, Gould was loved by all those who came into her class, and it is with a feeling of sadness when the class must bid farewell to their teacher. This class has been very active not only in church work but also in social affairs and along many other lines. When the church was built the class put two win dows, which cost $50 in their class room. Then they pledged themselves to pay $100 more on the general church debt. Most o f these young people are members of the Epworth League which also put in a window costing $75 and their pledge o f $100, besides about $100 paid on the new bell. Aside from these pledges, the members individually gave over $1000 toward the new building. An axiom o f the class is, “ Once a Maximum always a Maximum” and all members who leave the class are kept in touch with the class and a large map in the class room indicates the place where they reside. Since the organization o f the class in 1909 there have been 214 members registered and 59 c f these have been married during membership. During the four years there has been but one death, that of DeWitt L. Perry, Oct. 7th, 19l2. The last meeting of the class beh re Mi s. Gould leaves was held in the par ors of the M. E. church Monday evening Oct. 6th. The following officers were elec ted for the coming year, presi dent, Ralph Clark, vice-president Max Reeher, secretary, Clara Wagner, treasurer, Clara Sage, librarian, Albert Kirkwood. All left wishing Mr. and Mrs. Gould a prosperous and success ful year in their new work. ‘ ‘Ran Rah” For the event which is neither a reception nor a banquet, not a party and not a dance, there has been no appro priate name, one which suggests an informal genuine good time. Such affairs are very popnfar with Pacific students and to find asuitahle name, the committee in charge offered special induce ments to the person suggesting the term which seemed most appropriate. The name of a , "Rah-Rah” appealed to the com mittee as being in keepinr with Mrs. Mary Voget and children the spirit of the evening.

Bumps home while here. After everybody had marched with everybody else, the crowd was. divided into groups which were to present in pantomime different phases o f school life. The hand, under direction o f Pres. Bushnell gave two selec tions and the the drama class put on an up-to-date, high class play. The class in home deco rating showed how a person of limited means could with the e x ercise o f a little ingenuity have life-like statues in her home. By most clever charades, the domesiec science department presented their menu for six course dinner. After ice cream and cake had been served to eveu the football men, the evening was brought to a close bv the singing of college songs. Those of the alumni who were present had a delightful time and we hope that next year more will be able to come out to the evening if they cannot be pres ent at the game. College Girls Entertained— Miss Golda Murphy was hostess at a six course dinner last Friday night. Most o f the party was made up o f girls from Herrick Hall. The dinner was nicely by Miss Loretta Murphy, sister o f the hostess. W edding Bells—Miss Francis Heihel and Mr. Ed. Sparks were married Saturday evening at 7 o ’ clock at the home of his mother. Just the immediate friends and relatives were present. Mr. and Mrs. Sparks will make their home in Hillsboro, as Mr. Sparks is connected with the “ Independ ent” o f that place. Both young people are well known in Forest Grove having liveu here for some time. The Junior Christian Endeavor o f the Congregational church held a social in the church par lors Monday evening. Games were playel after whicn a sup per o f mashed potatoes, scalloped salmon, cake, cocoa, grapes and fudge was served. The young people all had a jolley time.
