HOLIDAY ATTIRE
Five Graduates from College and Eight Complete Academy
Course—Miss Nell Reuter Wins $2 5 Prize and Miss
Florence Rees Wins Penn Scholarship.
The old gold and navy blue
has been in evidence in Newberg
daring the week, this being com-
mencement time at Pacific Col­
lege.
Baccalaureate services were
held at Friends church on Sun­
day morning, Pres. Levi T. Pen­
nington speaking from the text,
“ Y o u r ' old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall
see visions/’ He said in part:
It is natural for the old men to
live in the past. It is fortunate
when an old man still keeps his
face to the future, as are some of
the old men who, by their devo­
tion and sacrifice, have made
this occasion possible. But how ­
ever much an old man may face
the future, he will dream o f the
past.
And o f what a past d o the old
men of today dream! A nation
transformed, a w o r l d m o r e
changed within the memory of
the old man of today than by all
the changes that Methuselah
saw in his life of nearly ten cen­
turies. The Civil war, recon­
struction, m i g h t y b u s i n e s s
changes, religious awakenings,
the frontier moving ever west-
w a r d , the struggles o f the early
<U, in thi. port o f the la o d - o f
th L aod a b ort o f other thing,
the old man dreams.
But the young man sees visions.
His life is yet before him, and ac­
cording to his vision and his fi­
delity to it will his life be a suc­
cess ori a failure, a blessing or a
curse, a triumph or a calamity.
Every young person should get
a vision of his own best self,
physical, intellectual and spirit­
ual. And as the sculptor sees his
vision and embodies it in the
marble, so by right living, physi­
cal, intellectual and spiritual,
should the young man be true to
his “ after-self,” to the man he
m ay be in the days to come.
Every young man and woman
should get a vision o f the world,
with its great problems still un­
solved. The problems o f social,
industrial, economic justice is a
big one. The problem o f intem­
perance is a big one. There are
plenty o f g i g a n t i c problems
awaiting solution, clamoring for
solution. There are plenty of
places for the service o f human­
ity.
Every young person should get
a vision o f the greatest work in
the world, world-evangelization.
Culture is good, but does not go
far enough to reach men’s su­
preme need. Sociology is good,
but you cannot sociologize and
soap-and-water a man into the
image o f God. The gospel of
Jesus Christ must be brought to
bear on the hearts o f men. The
evangelization of the world is the
business of the church, her im­
perative duty. And every young
man should get a vision o f his
share in that work o f world
evangelism, the greatest work
ever undertaken by man.
And it is a work to o great for
man unless God helps. It is the
vision o f the Christ and that
alone which will empower for
the work that God would have
done. Let us keep the Christ o f
Jerusalem and Jericho, o f Galilee
and Gilead, o f Nazareth and
Newberg before our eyes. And
may our glorious visions, under
His blessing, become living reali-

Music for the occasion was
furnished by the music depart-
ment o f the college, under the
direction o f Mrs. Hull.
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS
In the evening Rev. Charles
Replogle, pastor o f F r i e n d s
church at Everett, Washington,
made a felicitous talk to the as­
sembled members o f the Y. M. C.
A. and Y. W. C. A. of the college,
which was well received.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Monday evening was giyen to
the program presented by Mrs.
Hull and Prof. Hull of the Music
Department, assisted by Miss
Katherine Romig, soprano; Miss
Dorothy Hull, pianist; and Prof.
Hawkins, reader. There was al­
most a capacity audience at the
concert, who enjoyed the excel­
lent program to the full. The
same grade of music that the
music department has consist­
ently presented for the last sever­
al years was again in evidence.
The last part o f the program
was devoted to the cantata by
the college chorus—Woodman’s
“ Way o f Penitence.” In this dif­
ficult and ___

DISTRESSING FATALITY
Fred C. Randall Loses Life at His
Home in W est Chehalem.
A distressing fatality occurred
in West Chehalem on Tuesday,
as a result o f Fred C. Randall in­
haling noxious gases in a well
which he was digging. A pow ­
der blast had been fired in the
well and some time afterward
Mr. Randall was let down by his
son to begin work on the exca­
vation, when he was apparently
overcome by gases and fell face
downward in a small amount of
water that had collected at the
bottom.
Some delay was occasioned in
getting, him out but he was found
to be alive although he was un­
conscious from water strangula­
tion and • from the effect of the
gases. Dr. Doolittle was hastily
called, who worked with the un­
fortunate man tor tour hours, at
the end o f which time he died.
At times it appeared that he
would recover but a weak heart,
from which he had been a suffer­
er, finally failed to respond.
The deceased came here from
Brownell, Kansas, a year ago
and bought the Thomas Sallee
farm, some eight miles northwest
o f Newberg which has since been
his home. He leaves a wife and
four children.
Mrs. Randall will leave today,
Thursday, with the remains, for
their former home in Kansas.
Last Saturday was Rose Day
in Newberg and ask who you
may and they will tell you it
was one o f the most pleasing and
satisfactory public events that
Newberg has pulled off in many
a day. The weather was ideal,
the gentle southwest breeze that
came in from over the father of
waters tempering the atmos­
phere just enough to make it
pleasant anywhere in the sun­
shine, and everybody must have
gotten the week’s work well off
their hands in anticipation of
the day’s doings, for at an early
hour they began coming and by
ten o ’clock First street was lined
with a gay and happy throng,
made up o f young and old who
were out for a good time, and
they certainly had it.
It was the best natured crowd
we have seen in many a day. If
there was a cross word spoken
we failed to hear.it. Even the
fond mothers whose dimpled dar­
lings tailed to get a prize proved
to be game losers, and the Port­
land ball twirlers who were bat­
ted all over the field by the St.
Paul team went away smiling.
It was a day in the year when
all laid aside care and restraint
and made the most of the holi­
day, and it paid. The ladies who
shouldered the greater part of
the work and responsibility in
preparing for and carrying out
the events o f the day, took an
invoice o f tired limbs after it was
all over and resolved that they
would not undertake quite so
much another year, but they will.
At an early hour Shiloh Post,
G. A. R. pitched a tent on First
street near the Graphic office,
where, w ith martial music, they
furnished entertainment for the
crowd until the time for the
street parade at 10:30. Old time
army guns and the necessary
cartridge boxes and canteens
were stacked in front of the tent
for inspection by the younger
generation. The tent was head­
quarters for the old boys during
the day and here their regular
meeting was held.
The street parade was made
up ot ladies and gentlemen on
horseback, gaily decorated bug­
gies, carriages and automobiles,
all making a splendid showing.
But the baby show—this is
where Newberg shines, and who
ever saw such an array o f deco­
rated baby carriages carrying so
many pretty babies, every one of
which was entitled to a gold
medal. The judges thought so
too, no doubt, but they had to
single out a few from the num­
ber on which to tie the ribbons
and that is where the trying
task came in. Some o f the little
ones held on to . the bottle
throughout the parade, some
were fast asleep before it was
half over, while others finished
with a smile. It was a great
showing of little Oregonians,
which may be put down as New-
berg’s best crop.
Forty-four babies formed in
line at First and Meridian streets,
being led in the line of march by
the mounted marshals o f the day
and the Newberg band. The
parade halted in front o f the city
hall where awards were made as
follows:
Under one year—First, Sibyl
Lou King, ring, given by Chas.
A. Morris. Second, Ardise Noble,

The*Judges were picked up just
before the parade and were Mr.
Wallace and Mr. Patterson from
Portland and Mrs. L. W. Furnas,
a ll being strangers t o t h e
mothers. T h e c o m m i t t e e in
charge was composed o f the
following ladies: Mrs. L. M.
Parker, Mrs. Geo. Kelty, Mrs.
John Larkin, Mrs. W. S. Parker,
and Mrs. J. D. Gordon.
Just preceding the ball games in
the afternoon, a company o f
thirty-two young ladies, under
the direction of Miss Jessie Britt,
gave a beautiful rose drill. This
was repeated on First street in
the evening accompanied by the
band, and every one w ho w it­
nessed it spoke in highest praise
o f the drill.
S t r e e t P a r a d e .
In the street parade the ladies

the prizes going to the last three
in the order named. Dr. and
Mrs. Larkin very kindly lent
their automobile for the use o f
the kindergarten, and thus gave
the children and Mrs. Hurlston a
lovely time in the parade, the
little ones gaining lots o f smiling
attention by their happy little
faces. The judges were Mrs. M.
McDonald, Mrs. Clarence Butt
and F. A. Morris.
The grand marshals were: W.
H. Nelson, G. L. Kelty, Will
Bond, Horace Nelson and L. B.
