IMPELLED by the very laudable desire to do something for their institution, and earnestly desiring also to do something for themselves and leave behind a memento by which they might in future ages be “identified,” the Juniors of 1912, with this edition of the “Orange,” beg to make their initial bow. as a class, into the realm literary. The first O. A. C. Annual that really deserved the name was probably the one that appeared in 1895. Its external aspect was humble enough; but the sum of wit and wisdom scattered through its pages would have been envied by the versatile author of “Poor Richard’s Almanac.” could his eyes have run over the text. This custom of issuing Annuals thus inaugurated, and looked upon as the hereditary prerogative of the Junior class, has since been continued, though not without occasional interruptions, every succeeding issue an improvement on its parent, until of late these volumes have become veritable editions de luxe, clad in gorgeous apparel. The Junior class of 1912, over a year ago, enthusiastically proposed to do their share; not in a halfhearted. indifferent or listles spirit, but to go into the work with all the ardor of their strong, buoyant young manhood and active, zealous young womanhood. They proposed to equal, if possible to excel, ex- Lyitn Hcnklc—“Two more pounds off tonight, boys. 10] cept in the matter of dress, former efforts; to do the very best that could he done with improved means and enlarged facilities. This spirit of aggressivenes and progress permeated the entire membership; and all have been urging, pushing and striving to contribute their share toward crowning the work with success. The editors and managers certainly feel that in their labors they have enjoyed from their classmates the most extraordinary support and co-operation that ever lightened the load of burdened shoulders or gladdened the heart of weary toiler. If the Orange this year finds its way to the homes of its friends in a distinctly democratic dress, it does so simply because it wishes to be in keeping with the present trend of things: persistent calls, reinforced by determined efforts from every quarter, to return to erstwhile simplicity, being one of the unmistakable signs of the times. A careful perusal of the pages will show at once, however, that in choice of subjects, excellence of treatment, and variety of material, nothing has been sacrificed; the Annual bears every evidence of having been in good and competent hands, of being the fruit of determined, well directed and sustained efforts; the peer of the best in the land. If. as adverse, splenetic critics are occasionally heard to say, the average annual lacks the charm and grace of the so-called classical production; if its descriptions do not show the finish of a Ruskin, or its narrations the swing and charm of a Stevenson; if the style of its appeals to the intellect would probably l c repudiated by a Macaulay, and its attempts at rousing and swaying the reader’s emotions would not be recognized by a Webster, these critics will be informed that such is not the Annual's object, and that they have mistaken its purpose. The office of the Annual is, primarily, to chronicle, in a style of its own and in more or less humorous vein, College events: to criticise by holding up to gentle ridicule, if necessary, false notions and foolish sentiments: to cudgel follies and abuses; to send Addisonian shafts of satire at absurd, incongruous situations, and to place the stamp of approval on, and thus give encouragement to. all honorable conduct and every worthy action. This we maintain is the true nature of an Annual: it is so understood by the present Junior class, and such is the character of the material found within the covers of this present volume. With those who find pleasure and entertainment in the l)ook. the Juniors want to join in their merriment; with those who fancy they have a right to feel displeased or hurt, they wish to condole. Their quiver, though empty now, contained no poisoned shafts; if any such should be reported as having struck, the Juniors wish to assure the fancied victims they arc the work of the enemy. Rebel Misinterpretation, the mischief maker. The Juniors have collected the facts as they found them, and chronicled the truth as they saw and understood it: they are. therefore, at peace with their consciences and sincerely wish to all the readers of the T3 Orange the same good and glorious fortune. [11] PRESIDENT WILLIAM JASPER KERR VERY venture undertaken by man must have at its helm a hand, upon the ability of which depends the ultimate success or failure of the en- terprise. The hand must be steady, reliable, cool in time of great stress, bold when assailed by danger, quick to grasp when opportunity offers advantage. Five years ago the Board of Regents cast about for a man upon whom to confer the task of guiding to its destiny a vast enterprise, at that time in mere infancy, but on the threshold of a new era. They sought a man of ability proven by deeds, a man whose dealings would command the admiration of his fellow-men. and the love and respect of the students. Records were searched, and careful investigations made. They chose Dr. William Jasper Kerr. A man of broad experience, extending through a period of twenty-two years of educational work. President Kerr was especially fitted to undertake the work at the Oregon Agricultural College. He came to O. A. C. in the prime of life, at forty-three years of age. having to his credit a training and experience that eminently fitted him for the duties of the position to which he was called. 1 le is an enthusiastic believer in the modern idea of education for which the land-grant institutions stand—that education should be adapted to life-need, and its advantages extended alike to all the people. The inspiration for this work was received while attending Cornell University, the land-grant institution of New York. After leaving Cornell, in a remarkable career, he rose rapidly from the position of instructor in mathematics, to the presidency of Brigham Young College, and later, of the University of Utah. After seven years of service in the latter institution he was made chief executive at O. A. C. Five years ago the Oregon Agricultural College was a struggling, i oorly equipped college. Under the direction of President Kerr, a policy of expansion was formulated, and the institution took a new lease on life. From a campus with nine buildings—the Administration, old Horticulture, and Gymnasium buildings, Alpha, Science, and Cauthorn Halls, the packing house, shops and barns, it has grown to lie one of the finest in the West. The Mechanic Arts, Dairy and Farm Mechanics buildings: Agricultural Hall, with the two wings, the Horticulture and Agronomy buildings: Waldo and Shepard Halls; the Armory, Stock-judging pavilion, and the new shops, are all the result of patient and persistent work on his part. The new structures are of most modern types, and are furnished with the latest and best equipment. With the new buildings has come a great advance in the courses. Not only were the established departments enlarged, but the scope of the curriculum has been widened until O. A. C offers nearly all of the advantages which can be f 13 j secured in the largest land-grant colleges of the East. From a position oi obscurity the Oregon Agricultural College has advanced to be one of the potent educational factors of the entire West. The marvelous progress made by the institution has been due to the executive ability and practical wisdom of Dr. Kerr. The Board of Regents of O. A. C. was not alone in recognizing the ability of this man. Some of the highest honors to lie gained have been awarded him. In 1910, he was elected president of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, having previously been vice-president of that organization. The same year Dr. Kerr was vice-president of the National Educational Association, and a member of the executive Ixiard of the International Dry-Farming Congress. Among other organizations in which he has an active interest are the National Council of Education, American Mathematical Society. American Academy of Political and Social Sciences, Farmers' National Congress. American Association for the Advancement of Science, National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education and the International League for Highway Improvement. A young man yet. Dr. Kerr has half of his life-time before him. to be spent in the interests of education, in the improvement and perfection of the industrial educational system of the state, in leading men and women to see the vast possibilities of life through higher education, and above all. in continuing to l e the guiding star to stalwart youth” at O.

Few of us ever remembered them long, and if we had little good would it do us at present. I do not believe the memory faculty was strengthened by this early tax upon it. and the stress of trying to keep associated in our minds certain dates and certain events made it impossible to get more than a faint impression of the moving impulses. Books of reference are made for dates and therein let them be recorded. In these desultory recollections, the incidents shall be dateless. For my theme I shall take the remark of a present under-graduate who in commenting upon college affairs of earlier days states There were no student activities in those days.” This young man had reference to organized activities: he understood human nature sufficiently to know, that regardless of period or clime, students arc and of necessity must be, irrepressibly active. When I matriculated at the Oregon Agricultural College, nearly thirty years ago, there was but one college building, it being located on a “down-town block. During this early period there were no college athletics at O. A. C. The only games played on the college grounds at that time were “shinny and marbles. However, some of the boys played baseball, but as members of the town team. The beginning of college athletics was during the administration of President Bloss when his son, W ill. II. Bloss, organized the first college football team in the state. The University of Oregon was persuaded to form a team, and intercollegiate athletic contests were initiated. “Zip Boom Bee was the first college yell in Oregon and I think Mr. Will Bloss was the designer of that classic which still holds first rank in popular favor at a O. A. C. At this time it might be well to state that there was an occasional military drill with either President Arnold or Professor Hawthorne as drill masters, both of whom served in the civil war. This drill was confined to the evolutions, as we had iK) guns. It must be admitted also that there were no student social activities during my time at college. Parties and social gatherings were plentiful, but these were town rather than college functions. When I entered O. A. C. there was one student organization successfully maintained, the Adelphian Literary Society, which met every Friday night. The society had its own assembly room in the college building, and on the regular meeting nights the room was usually crowded. One of the features of the evening program was the reading of the Adelphian Review, a paper edited by one [26] or more members. Copies of this paper may be found at the present time stored away in relic rooms of the administration building. A secret society, T. J. S., which initials spelled to the initiated “The Jolly Sixteen,” originally a town organization, became an unofficial and unrecognized college society during my first year at school. It met for awhile in one of the class rooms Saturday evenings: but during one of its initiation festivities, when a candidate was demonstrating his physical fitness for membership and at the same time energetically opposing some of the mystic rites, the stove was upset, window lights broken and a desk or so demolished. The faculty, without unnecessary delicacy, intimated that they would immediately approve a request from the “Jolly Sixteen” to have its lease of the class room terminated. Later the “Jolly Sixteen” figured in a newspaper war with one of the professors, the immediate cause being a minstrel show staged by the members of the society. In a letter to thte Corvallis Gazette the professor condemned the performance as altogether unbecoming. During my second year another secret organization, “The Knights of Justice” was organized. Its list of officers included judge, prosecuting attorney, clerk of the court, sheriff and bailiff, and its province was to acquaint prospective lawyers with court methods. Mock trials were held weekly and the attorneys consulted down-town lawyers, and followed the rules of the real courts. While some of the cases tried were humorous, nothing farcial was permitted and today many of the former members of the “Knights of Justice” (among them Will R. King, one of the prominent members of the Portland bar ar.d a former judge of [27 J the Oregon Supreme court) recall that student organization as one of the most pleasant and useful associations of their college days. As the attendance of the college began to increase largely, making other student societies necessary, the Adelphian was discontinued. I do not know how long the “Jolly Sixteen” or the “Knights of Justice” held sway, and probably none of their records have been preserved. Our student activities were not numerous or complex, but they were sufficient for the times and for the number of students then attending O. A. C. They did not encroach upon the real college work and served both as an adjunct of that work and as an outlet for surplus mental energy. HARRY IIOLGATE. Secretary-Treasurer, O. A. C.. Alumni Assn. [28] SENIOR HISTORY VOW that the class of 1912 is about to deprive this poor old institution of ■ more brains, brawn, brilliancy, and beauty than it ever saw before or V, will ever sec again, list to the talc of our exploits and achievements that you may realize what an irreparable loss the college sustains because of our departure. We shall strictly refrain from handing ourselves any compliments, though if we should get all the bouquets we deserve even our black caps would be obscured by the floral offering. But modesty is our middle name. ICarly in our career we demonstrated our athletic prowess. Whenever we happened to feel like it we annexed a victory. But not wishing to make enemies by taking everything in sight, we decided to specialize in basketball. As Sophomores we defeated the Juniors and as Juniors we whalloped the Seniors. As Seniors we.— well, the only reason we did not beat the Rooks was that our fine sense of honor does not permit us to take advantage of a weak opponent. To grab the long end of the score in that game would of been like taking candy from a baby. We also turned out a girl's team that for three years won the championship three times in succession. The fact is, one more drop in our cup of athletic glory would cause it to slop over. When it comes to dramatics we certainly are “some there.” While yet in our childhood, mere Sophomores in fact, we dazzled the whole institution of learning with our stellar production of “The Modernized Merchant of Venice.” Who can ever forget that marvelous demonstration of precocious genius? But our histrionic career did not end at this point. As Juniors with our talents ripened and matured, we again took the public by storm. This time it was our masterly presentation of “Brown of Harvard” which earned us undying fame and some sheckels for our class monument. Thus in theatrical honors we are so far ahead of such small fry as Sarah Bernhardt and Richard Mansfield that they are but mere specks on the horizon. Our Junior year was a golden era in which we filled our souls with glory and emptied our pocketbooks of cash. We claim the unique distinction of having gone deeper into debt and taken longer to get out than any other class. We recommend as a simple and harmless remedy for this malady of financial embarrassment, a ten dollar tax. But if we have spent more money than was healthful for the paternal poeketbook, we at least have had results to show for it. When we try adequately to describe our Junior K. g. rice. President in 1911 I AY P. GREEN. President in 1912 [30] .y L- ml r A. G. LUNN President in 1910 Annual, words fail us. We firmly believe it to l e the best bound, best printed, best illustrated, most spicy, most original, most successful book ever published by a junior class. It has every previous publication looking like a last year's style book. It is—but we curb our enthusiasm lest some jealous-hearted individual think us boastful. Then, too, we gave an exceedingly successful party to the Seniors in the new College barn. People came in all manner of weird costumes and frolicked riotously in the hay, swung themselves seasick or romped through the figures of an old-time quadrille. The affair was simply another proof of the startling originality of this amazing class. Our Junior Flunk Day easily outstripped all previous Flunk Days in thrilling and bloodthirsty deeds. Assaults and battery, kidnapping, and damaged countenances were such common events that the mere mention of them bored 11s not a little. Ruthless ravages and agonizing abductions were the order of the day. What if the expenditures did slightly exceed the receipts? We dismiss such sordid details with a lofty wave of the hand and reflect in a glow of deep satisfaction, upon the general gorgeousness of the whole affair. In Our Senior year we have busied ourselves in absorbing and accumulating all the knowledge that lurks about these learned halls. What there will be left for those who follow us is a matter for grave speculation. The four years that we have spent here have been memorable ones. Many and great have been the changes effected. We have witnessed the decline and fall of the hazing evil. We have seen the last rude Rook disturb the peaceful protococci that linger in the limpid waters of the historic fountain. During our short stay that eminent judicial body. The Student Council, has had its beginning and justified its existence. The tale is told. We cannot longer muse upon the past. The world is eagerly clamoring for us to come and show it a few things and we must go. But in the midst of our epoch-making careers, we shall ever keep a watchful eye upon our beloved Alma Mater to see that all goes as well with her as is possible without the class of 1912.

Then it is that vacation ends and nine months of application to studies begins. Then it is that the Freshmen. Sophomores and Juniors return with new titles—that of Sophomore, Junior and Senior—and in addition an assorted collection of individuals appear—the future senior class, but now to be known as Freshmen or Rooks’’ if you please. It was during one of these annual events, the fall of 1909. that the class of 1913 made its debut. Surely no class has been so singularly blessed as has the class of 1913. And yet this is not strange. Logic explains it clearly. If one stops to consider the question, the reason becomes plain immediately. It has always been an acknowledged fact that only the lower class of people—the ignorant, the unschooled, the wcakminded and others of like character arc superstitious and connect tip events with such things as broken mirrors, horseshoes. numbers and the like. The number thirteen is one of these supposed unlucky numbers. And now is it clear why the class of 1913 is so singularly blessed? The superstitious, which as 1 said included the weak-minded, the ignorant and others of similar character, endowed with a fear of the number thirteen, hesitated to enter a class which would be known by such a number. As a result, we have not had these undesirables in our ranks and the usual thinning out progress has not been necessary. And so I say we have been blessed from the first. All rook classes have their troubles and we were no exceptions. The usual greenness, awkardness and ignorance of the ways of Sophomores prevailed at first. Hut not for long did such conditions exist. With the aid of the Junior class we were soon organized and officers elected. Chester A. Mansfield was chosen as president and no person, no matter how radical an enemy, can say that our president did not possess good understanding. To the chair of vice-president. Miss Cuba Amick was elected—an ever ready and reliable person to fill the higher office if occasion should arise. Ably supporting these two officers were D. S. F.wart. Ruby Earheart and Glenn Kelly in the offices of Treasurer. Secretary and Sergeant-at-ams. That they fdled their position well need not be said. Our selection was good and the class weathered the storms of Sophomore invasion and prospered. The 1913s were not back numbers in athletics or anything else during that first year. Tis true that in football, track, basketball and in cross country we were defeated but when it came to baseball, the other classes were compelled to K. T. PIERCE. President in 1912 I 62 ] bow to us. Truly Richard was too much for them, and one championship at least out of five came to the 13s. Antony the first events of this year where the Sophomores had a real chance to test the prowess of the 1913s was the Rag Picnic. But why speak of it. The Sophomores were so completely defeated and the trick turned so easily that it hardly bears mentioning. Twas merely a reminder to the Sophomores that 1913 could not be walked on with disdain. The Freshmen party held bv the class of 1913 will perhaps be long remembered by whosoever took a hand in it. It was supposed to be a Freshmen party but everyone seemed to make it a point to be present, outside if not inside. But still the party went on in spite of minor troubles and was a great success. It will have to go down into history as the last of its kind. No more will Freshmen be disturbed while holding this, their annual stunt. No more will the timid Freshmen have occasion to tremble while escorting the “Girl” of all Girls’' from Waldo. The Student Council has spoken. After the experience gained while Freshmen, the classes of '13 was well prepared to enter upon the duties of Sophomores. Such energy as was displayed ’luring the fall of 1910 by the 13s has never been equaled and likely never will on the campus of O. A. C. Precarious indeed was our position. An unduly large class of Freshmen accepted us as their natural enemy and acted accordingly. And what does the Student Body Constitution say? But still is it right for a Sophomore class to stay inside while a Freshmen rally is in progress? In football that season the 13s tied the 11s for the honors, beating out the '14s only after three scoreless games had been played. In other lines of sport the showing of the class was good and 1913. as has always been the case, gained its shares of honors. The push ball contest with the Freshmen, stages at a rally for the benefit of the visiting high school boys, might also be mentioned. It was. of course, a victory for the '13s and a demonstration to the Freshmen that beef is not necessarily the winning quality. But the minds of the class did not run entirely to sports and to matters of mere enjoyment. Mindful of the fact that the duty of publishing the Orange would fall into their hands, it was decided that a little more cash in the hands of the treasurer would be desirable. Accordingly the class staged a minstrel show—the “Sunny South Minstrels. This was the first of the kind ever attempted at O. A. C. and proved a success in spite of the attempts of the rooks in the balcony to butt in where they were not wanted. j I M, WK.XTIIKRFORD President in 1911 K ] The problem of editing the Orange has fallen to our lot. Verily it is a worthy problem to solve. Heretofore it has been the object to edit an annual which would be just a little bit letter than that put out the year before, one which would reflect credit upon the college and the class and not leave out the editor and manager. No regard has been paid to the fact that the Junior class must pay the deficiencies which have generally been heavy. In putting out the Orange this year we hope to put out one that will reflect credit upon O. A. C. and the Junior class. Hut into it we wish to add another feature, that of a self supporting annual. We know the idea of a self supporting annual will appeal to all, especially the lower class men and trust our issue of the “Orange” will satisfy in every respect the most critical person. “Every cloud has a silver lining.” Bright features appear on the horizon and the labors and troubles of the Juniors will all be forgotten. There arc enjoyable occasions in sight. “Flunk Day will soon arrive and classes may be missed without danger of that ten percent absence mark getting in its work. And along in the spring with it conies a new idea—that of a “Junior Week-end”—a final ending of months of work and planning, but bearing with it a promise of joy in the gay music of the Prom, and the pleasures of a play well presented. But enough has been said concerning the class of 1913.

THE ’14s OX September twenty-third, nineteen hundred and ten, there was introduced into tlie Oregon Agricultural College another class of Freshman. This class, to all outward appearances, was not unlike other classes. Several of the members called on the President the first day; but this seems to Ik a college tradition, repeated by certain members of each successive class. But as the different ones of our “Kooks” grew accustomed to the ways of the institution, they began to show that the class was not one that followed college precedent, but one that would establish helpful college traditions. After much debate and political oratory our officers were elected, and it can truly be said that no Freshman class had a more efficient President than Gerald Wilcox. Our class was at once called ii|x n for athletic material and we responded with some of the best O. A. C. will ever have. We finally lost the class championship in football after disputing with the different classes in three scoreless games. However, when the time for wrestling came we were fully in the game and could not be deprived of our just dues and therefore won the championship. During the month of March, we had the pleasure of establishing a college custom. All our members voluntarily voted to wear the green cap as a class emblem. This was considered necessary, as many people were mistaking our members for Sophomores, and this was very distasteful to our sense of dignity. On the evening of April 8. 1911, we held our first party, which marked an xpoch in the history of O. A. C., since it was the first one of its kind dispensing with the usual preliminary reception of the Sophs. We again showed our supremacy in athletics by winning the baseball championship. On May the first we established another tradition to be followed by the succeeding Freshman classes, that of crowning the Queen of the May. After these things we were quite content to pack our grips and wend our way homeward, feeling justly proud of our first year spent in seeking higher education. In September we returned to school fully determined to uphold our honor as established in our Freshman year. W'c came fully prepared to exercise our newly acquired authority, and. as a first step, placed the green cap on the Rooks as a fitting symbol of their intellectual capacity. We demonstrated our loyalty to the newly instituted Student Self Control bv compassionately assisting the Rooks in registering and locating their class rooms. The campus was brightened when we appeared in the most original and unique sweaters ever worn by any class. On March the first we celebrated our enviable position as Sophomores by holding our Annual Party. This was one of the best social functions of the season. So we come down to date, having satisfied ourselves, and almost everybody else, including the Rooks, that our class is the “classiest” class in school.

While, in their rooky year they 111 lavished much money on their attempt at jollification, it fell far IhTow the standard of the one given after a period of enlightenment. It was the aim of the occasion to provide entertainment for all present and right well was this accomplished. Speches by President Kerr. Commandant Miller and Class President Dickey, with a number by the O. A. C. Glee Club and a violin solo by Miss Cook, formed the introductory part of the program. The floor was then cleared and several delightful dances followed. Those who did not participate in the dancing found diversion in the card games and relay races. Special refreshments were served in bounteous quantities and good cheer prevailed. It was with regret that the hour of home going was noted and all wended their way homeward, vowing that the party was a grand and unsurpassed success. The following committee handled the gathering in an eminently satisfactory manner: A. O. Maxgoi.i . General Entertainment Committee, W. E. Metzger. Floor Comittee. Victor Weber. Manager.

That night in October. 1915, was a terrible one. The school year had just begun, but already the Freshmen were dominating affairs in the college, under the guarding wing of the student body. We “fussed upper class girls; we did not wear our green caps; we addressed impertinent remarks to Juniors and Seniors; in short IVE were the alpha and omega of the school (in our own minds), and felt it. But the long hand of justice reached us. Ah! Cursed day (or rather night) : the Sophs outraged by our childish pretentions and insolent manners, for I see our absurd pretentions now, raised up and summarily washed prominent members of the “uinpty fifteens,” and reduced many enlarged craniums. How dire and swift their vengeance. Whole houses were wiped out, though some by means of barricades and prodigous firing of guns survived the attack. Like King Charles of old, our noble president spent the night under a woodpile and our doughty yell leader was captured from under his couch. Several saved themselves by leaping from windows and running into the Stygian darkness only to perish in Corvallis mud. The fountain represented a place of indescribable activities. A continuous splashing sound arose and cries were drowned in water. Groups rushed back and forth bearing victims to the holacaust, who were quickly stripped of outward apparel, baptized and turned loose to flee like phantoms into the shroud of night. The police were out, the faculty were out, the student councilmcn were out; but the storm did run its course. In the days following it was to our infantile delight a great gratification to see the perpetrators of this barbaric atrocity punished. But alas! The only two “canned” that term was proper in those days, were Freshmen. [101] FAIR PLAY WRITTEN WITH AN AXE BY AN O. A. C. MAN FOR O. A. C. READERS Vol. t O. A. C, May 23, 9 No. t STUDENTS OF O. A. C.: The writers of this little sheet are students in your school, pretty well on to the ropes, who have, for some time, made a quiet study of conditions as they exist. This is the result. Perhaps it is kind of sudden, but, as a general rule, a quick shock is more effective than a slow one, especially on college fraternities and their ilk. OUR OBJECT Mud-slinging is not our object. Neither are we attacking Frats and Societies that are properly conducting themselves. The objects of our attack are those Frats and Societies that are using the influence and power of their organizations in college politics to elect partisans to student body positions to further the interests of their members and not the interests of the student body as a whole. “WAR IS HELL ” War Department general orders No. 155 require that all land-grant colleges, like O. A. C., shall drill at least three hours per week for two years. All drill over and above this is imposed upon us by the Board of Regents at the instigation of Prexy. Of course it is nice to have a big bunch of men in loud breast-cords to entertain visiting editors, grangers, politicians and other voters, and in a way this is of benefit to the college: but while this is gained, much more is lost by the loss of prospective students, who would enter O. A. C. were it not for the too great amount of military work. Others come here for a year, get disgusted at the prospect of four years’ drill, and then leave for other colleges. There are only The Frats are already organized and have many prominent members. The non-Frat men arc not organized. It is impossible for us to organize, but let us nominate strong men at the coming election for the important places, and let us see that no member of those organizations which have butted into student body affairs, be elected. If the race lies between a strong Frat man and a weaker non-Frat man, let us support the latter for the sake of the principle concerned. If this policy is carried out, it is safe to say that several rank deals of the past season will not be soon repeated. Just because the 1913 class Prex. Editor and Manager are Hesperians. should not cause one to think that this is the reason for the rest of the staff being made up of members of that society.

Realizing the truth of the foregoing, the scribe is loath to attempt an account of the progress, of the 1915 class, lest lie fall from grace and indulge in unseemly boasting. Would that these words might be as a darkened glass, reflecting the deeds and triumphs of the class in a subdued and diminshed Jn ignorance and verdure we came. Rut a few short months ago we were wandering aimlessly o'er the campus, trying to tell time by the Ad Building clock, and timorously inquiring the location of our respective and respectable Deans. Long-suffering and patient tutelage was necessary to instill in our minds the difference between a squad and a left face. Our only strength was our quantity— numerically we were immense. Ere we had been ensconced in these parts many days, some of the turbulent spirits of the Sophomore class felt themselves called upon to start something. As a result, a few of us investigated the climatic conditions existing in the under strata of the liquid slime of the fountain, and conducted experiments regarding the speed required to keep from congealing, with the mercury at zero, and your clothes either absent or wet. These immersions were taken for the most part in the right spirit, and we're not complaining. The bag-rush gave us a hunch as to our strength, and we began to realize that, in the language of culture, the class of 1915 was some there.” This was the first triumph of the class: an enumeration of them all would require too much space, and would mayhap tire the gentle reader, particularly if said reader wear a gray sweater with a blue duhickev over his last rib. Let us refrain, then, from vain repetition. Of course, certain facts stand too plainly to be unobserved—the fact, for instance, that '15 won the championship of the college in football, basketball and wrestling. Or that a Freshman representative won the Interclass Declamation Contest, or that the Rook debaters slipped it over on the leather-lunged Daniel W'ebsters of the Sophs. Moreover, everyone realizes that there are four Rooks wearing the football O.” that three of the same class helped win the Northwest basketball championship. and that the Intercollegiate debating team will include at least one. But statistics arc dry reading—so let us. as we said before, avoid a detailed account of the accomplishments of the class. To attempt to call attention to the inherent class of the Rookesses would be superfluous, and might get the author in wrong. Although every Rook in school believes that the fairness of the Sophomore ladies is the only feature which justifies the existence of the class, we cannot fail to note the consistent manner in which certain prominent upper classmen stick around the feminine contingent of 1915. But. enough of this. Let us cease while the ceasing is good, least we lose sight of the resolution stated in our opening words, and indulge in unseemh vaingloriousness. light. f 106 j Professor Hyshp— Guo, gtta, oh, oh, oh. os so id before —.

And ordered up his last reserve The game to win or die. On, Freshman, on! How fast are baskets made; Our chosen five is fighting hard. When will their glory fade? The Sophomores strove with desperate strength— Paused, rallied, staggered, fled— The gymnasium floor is matted close With the dying and the dead; On, Freshmen, on! Like eagles in the sun, The final score was much too few. And the championship was won. SIXTH ACT Wrestling The wrestling team has also won. As all the other teams have done, As on the mat they writhed and rolled. They gained at last that awful hold; And so the Freshmen had their way, And were victors vet another day. POSTSCRIPT We now are forced to close this list, But hope that you have got the gist. Of what the Freshman class has done, Although their year is scarce half run, At a later date the rest we’ll relate, As yet the outcome we cannot state. Miss Anna Rutledge Walter Koenig IX CONCLUSION Let us tip you off as to who to blame if this section of the annual doesn’t suit you. Anything in these columns which may be clever or entertaining is the work of a committee of hard working, faithful Rook' —Miss Ilublcr, Miss Rutledge, Mr. Koenig and Mr. Stambach. The crumby stuff all permeated from the brain of the editor; he’s the guy you want to blame.

MILITARY DEPARTMENT THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT OF all the various departments O. A. C. can boast of. the War Depart mcnt is never omitted, and of this phase of college work we are justly proud. Years ago when O. A. C. became a land-grant institution, the gun and uniform made its first appearance on the campus. From that small aggregation of blue suits and ancient rifles has arisen our grand regiment, of 500 drab uniformed and well trained men. The purpose of this is not to impregnate the students with a felonious and blood-thirsty desire for war. It does, on the other hand, strive to equip each man who graduates from this institution, with a working knowledge and basic prin-icples of the dicipline. tactics and efficiency upon which war depends. At military drill the layman scoff and the peace advocates deride, yet today the safety of our nation lies within the hands of a few trained men. Wisely then, the Federal Government seeks to educate America’s sons along military lines, and O. A. C. holds her place among the foremost of the highest rank. We have been fortunate indeed in securing such a man as W. C. Miller to assume the position of commandant of cadets. This has been shown by the able way in which he picked up the threads and carried on the work of the Major. Mthough Lieutenant Miller has been here but scarcely a year, he has made a host of friends: never failing to aid the students whenever the occasion required, from a lusty rooter on the football field, to a willing supporter of every student activity. O. A. C. cadets are of state wide renown and “inspection day” is always a celebrated event. In spite of the fact that this year brought the largest amount of new men we have ever had. our chances bid fair for a place among the first ten colleges given military recognition.

THE SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY The Senior Honorary Society. r belter known as the Sphinx.” is composed of men chosen by the Seniors from the Junior Class of each year. This honor is conferred upon those who have attained excellent grades in their studies and who are active in student enterprises. The members of the Class of 1913 are: E. (i. Rice C. R. Thomson J. C. I.ekhy A. F. Eschkicht S. O. McFaddek [ 164 ] THE SHAKOPEAN SOCIETY ME newest and perhaps the most promising society on the campu- i-■ j the Shakopean Society, the purpose of which is to promote interest in public speaking an l to honor meritorious work in that line of student activities at O. A. C. Meml ership to the society is limited to twenty-five and is open only to such students as have demonstrated their ability as orators or debaters in intercollegiate, class, or society contests in forensics. From the old system of putting all members on an equality, the Shakopeans have taken a unique departure ami confer a degree of honor upon those of its members who have represented the College in intercollegiate debate or oratory. For some time a great many students here who arc deeply interested in forensics have felt a need for a society that would offer opportunities outside of the classroom or those students who want to improve themselves in the art of debate or oratory, and this opportunity the Shakopean Society is giving. Regular meetings are held to which the public is welcome, and at which the best college debaters and orators furnish the fireworks. The society is named after the Minnesota Indian chief. Shakopee. whose eloquence. it is said by the old pioneers of the upper Mississippi river country who knew him. was of such remarkable power that many a time when his braves were about to desert him or turn and flee from the enemy, a few words from this silver-tongued orator would banish their fears, restore their courage and send them forth to victory. The first chief to preside over the Sons of Shakopee is A. F. Eschricht. President of Oratory and Debate at O. A. C. CHARTER MEMBERS. President..................................................A. F.

I 172 ) u cmwmviMfaM MR. DOOLEY ON FOOTBALL are roight, Hinnessy, football is an interestin’ ga-ame. I wint to me W J first wan yisterday, Hinnessy, and this is how ye play it. Ha fore the ga-ame begins a whole bunch of fclleys congrigates on the blachcrs— shure ye would think lx their actions, they were full of somethin' but it’s only college spirits, they do be savin'. Across the field is the grand stand for the ’fessors and fussers. After the band makes a grand noise the two contestin’ tames enters the field. Then a big. tall felly over in the bleachers with a red sweater on, gits up and tells the fellys somethin' at which they all hollers hack at the top of their lungs. Hye an bye the fellys in the field spreads out. Somewan blows a whistle, than folleys wan of the gra-andest mix-ups ye ever seen. Hinnessy. Forty-four shinguards thry to lx occupying the same place at the same toime. They call it a ga-ame but it do lx looking like a bullfight. It takes 22 felleys, four docthers, a corps of nurses, a referee’s whistle, two goal posts, a Red Cross waggin. a barril of splints, a carload of Hags and pinnents and five hundred rooters wit brass lined throats to play the game. What is a rooter, did ye say? Why, a rooter Hinnessy is a football fan wid both lungs saved, lie must be able to jump in Yaquina Hay. and yell for liilp in New York. The rason they make the football from pig-skin is to instill rootin' in the bleachers. Yis. the ball is nicessary in the game, it lacates the disthurbance: wher iver the ball is. tlier is no pace, an gintleness is out of order. Football, Hinnessy, is like unto a barbaric dabate. in which ache side admits nothin’ and op]x ses everything including the referee. It taches pissmism, because the player can see but one goal, and decatefullncss because the other side can't see whare he is going. A football man is the most selfish man in the wur-rld. If things don’t go his way he don't want them to go at all. lie wants to blackball iverythin' but the football. The object of the ga-ame is to take the ball down the field to the goal, over, under and through the opposition wid out the aid of axes, saws, shot-guns, ca-arving knives, batterin’ rams or dynamite. During the ga-ame one felly got snagged on a broken rib. They put him out of the game for bein' “off-side. The coach said that he should have gone through his op|X)iiint. A football player should have a cast-iron head, a pjiir of re-in forced shins, strap-hinged ankles, and two substitoot noses at laste. He should be hard enough to dint a locomotive, and vit flexible enough to emerge from beneath twinty-one min. reach out his arms twinty-sivin fate and plant the ball bet wane the goal-posts. To 1 e shure of a place on the tame, he should be able to catch a thirteen-inch shell and hold it until help comes. It’s a gra-and ga-ame. Hinnessy, but should niver be played in the parley or be indulged in by ladies' simenaries. i. 6 . Kiie—M Y , well, what's the trouble up there! ( 17+ 1 BAND 1NFORMALS O, yes. that dance, That plain band prance, 1 like you some I guess; Where one can go Clear through the show Without a fancy dress. Where one can swing And one can spring Or glide to strands so sweet ; You need not fret We won't forget. Informal sure are treats. —D. S. Youkg. SUNSET ON THE CASCADES The sun in robes of glory dessed. Sank slowly in the distant west. Turned fleecy clouds o’er western hills To beds of yellow daffodils. Calm ocean then to peaceful dreams. Called one by one the wearied beams. One truant ray went quiv'ring still, A scarlet line along the hill. And gilded o'er with burnished gold The eastern range, white-capped and cold. An argos in heaven's height It armed with streams of crimson light. Bright hues vanished and purest white Enveloped the hills like pale moonlight. Twilight descended. Night shades gray Gathered themselves in somber way. As draws a dominie his hood The mountains there like sentries stood In steely shadow—frostily Suggestive in a starlight sea. —Matiijlpe Sieomund. A FUSSER’S SOLILOQUY Here by Willamette’s gurgling stream. ’N'catlt the old, old moon, with the same old beam. With you, my love, I now would speak, Here in the shadow of Mary's Peak. But ah!

I hear you say in that way you have. “Rave on, old boy, put on the salve. It’s the same old night with the same old moon. The same old song, with a different tune.” There are times I think my heart will break. When I'm pierced with the thought of the stand you take Regarding this affair of ours.

I’m not so sure. I call you my siren, oh pretty maid. And I'm not peeved at the price I’ve paid. But when folks see the effects brought on They say, “Die Lorelei getlian.” My thoughts are now of pretty things To which the old love, for pity, clings. And as your thoughts may come and go. Remember, dear, a week ago. Oh, my joy, if you but knew The pain you’ve caused, and how awfullv blue 1 am. I think you’ll see The boob and goat you’ve made of me.

There the graduates breathe a heavy sigh As they slowly drift ’neath the azure sky. And their college life floats before their view. For that fun is o’er and that life is through. Through the silent eve o'er the slumbering stream All the world to come seems a hazy dream; While the past shines bright and it pains their heart As they near the hour when they must depart. Still we all must come and we all must go. Like the flowers that bloom and the trees that grow. And we'll ne'er forget all those joys so true Xor the moonlight rides and the neat canoe. 1). S.

With gold tinges mountain and lea. With a climate exceeding mild. And alternate rich valley and plain. Dense forests, gigantic and wild. Tis the land of red apples and rain. Unknown in this land is the dearth That oft visits the fair golden state. Here the soil yields the products of earth So abundant I could not relate. Every year there’s an over supply. And never short cropping of grain. Kor here it is never too dry In the land of red apples and rain. Ah! grand is the Voscmite And the mountains of Colorado, But if picturesque beauty you’d see Up the grand old Columbia go. Magnificent landscapes so grand. To attempt a description were vain Of the towering crags as they stand In the land of red apples and rain. Our mountains are covered with snow. Mount Hood, St. Helens. Rainier; But the vales are all Edens you know. Where flowers keep blooming all year. In the greenwood the pretty birds sing. So wild and so sweet a refrain. It appears like perpetual spring. In the land of red apples and rain. Oh. beautiful land of the West! % Dear Oregon, I’m wedded to thee. I love your dense forests the best. 1 love your grand mountain and lea: And if ever from thee I shall roam. ’o matter for pleasure or gain. May I live to return to my home In the land of red apples and rain. Jimmie Mtinn—Say, are yon going down to see Vggy tonight?

Rising like a silver bubble, 'Neath flowers of the mountain side, With babbling songs of gladness. Steals down to the valley wide. It gladdens the bluebells yonder. On the slope of the thirsty lea, Murmuring louder its freedom, Wending its way to the sea. The murmurs blend into rhythm. As together the ripple throng. Then leap on the ocean's bosom To learn a grander song. —Mathii.uk Siegmuxd. THE BATH TUB AT THE SHACK The night was dark and tlrearv And the clouds hung low and black, I sat all alone and weary In my little room at the Shack. My thoughts were scattered and prone to roam. And absorbed in this meditation I was thinking of the dear ones at home. And not of my education. The halls were all deserted. The rouglihousers all in bed. Methought they must be converted For an awful life they had led. 1 dropped into a gentle slumber. Only to be awakened with a shock, For voices I heard a number. And a low and muffled knock. , I opened the door in a hurry. Hut dropped back into the light. My heart was all in a flurry For I saw figures all dressed in white. “You are guilty of being a Freshman mean. Said the leader, tall and straight. You must be washed s| otless and clean Before it is too late. I was seized with hands not gentle And hurried from my room; I tried to be resentful. For 1 was going to my doom.

And then said with a wave of the hand, “The lad shall not play tonight.” The doctor came, he saw. he mused. My lad. he said, you have been bruised. And then like a thunder bolt from the sky. Slowly speaking, almost weeping, lie gave his reasons why “The lad shall not play tonight.” With long swinging strides the doctor did walk, And then and there with the coach did talk. This suspense is awful, the coach did cry. Tell me the reasons of this sickness and why “The lad shall not play tonight.” The doctor turned, winked thrice, and said, “The patient is sick and should lie in bed. He must not be with the crowd in which he mingles. Yes. ’tis sad, for the young halfback has shingles.” “And shall not play tonight.” Before he was well he shingled the houses, he shingled the shed. He shingled the parlor and had enough left to shingle the bed. He ha«l shingles roasted, and lie had them fried. Until the coach in haste loudly cried, “The lad shall play tonight. —Shrimp.

THE SENIOR PLAY BARBARA ERI ETCH IE was the climax of the 1910-1911 dramatic season. The Seniors, coupled with their own ability and the practical coaching of Mrs. Carter, outclassed all other such productions of the year. The play, semi-military, vividly pictured the intense hatred between the North and South during the Ci il War. The theme of the play was the love of a Southern girl for a Northern captain, yet both were too loyal and proud to permit a love affair to interfere with their personal beliefs. Ramona Kane, as “Barbara Frictchic.” immediately won a place in the hearts of the audience by her wonderful conception of the character she was playing. Edward Atchison, the Northern captain, performed his difficult part exceedingly well. All the members of the cast seemed wonderfully fitted to portray the character of the part they played. 1 he Class of lt� ll arc to he congratulated for the great success of their Senior play.

STRONG HEART” H Zetegathean and I'topian Literary Societies gave their animal play the evening M of January 20 at the opera house. They certainly won a place in the hearts of the audience, for there was plenty of dash and go from start to finish, showing much personal interest and careful coaching. The greatest compliment that could be paid to the players and their clever stage work was the representative and appreciative audience that packed the house; every seat being sold and many standing throughout the whole performance. While much credit is due Mr. Earl I). Dwire, of the Baker Stock Company, for his practical and experienced directions, the players themselves well deserved the continuous applause given them for their spirited and intelligent work. The cast was certainly happily chosen, each character seeming just to lit the part assigned ami making up an attractive and pleasing ensemble throughout the four acts, during all « • which there was not a dull moment. As is always the case, there arc some who stand out more than others, yet everyone carried their parts through without a hitch. Miss Delia Purves. as Molly, was just as chic as the character could possibly call for. while Miss Helen Allworth most creditably sustained the part of Dorothy, especially in the parting scene with Strongheart. that prominent character l eing well cared for by Mr. Van G. Gibson. Mr. II. L. Heriklc was a typical “Hilly” Saunders and easily won a place in the good will of the audience. Mr. R. 15. Thompson, as Buckley, the head coach, was right there in his spirited harangue to the football squad, and O. A. C. could do no better than give him a permanent engagement if working a team up to the top notch of excitement and determination will help to win games. All the other characters were all right, too, even Billy Saunders Sigfried showing that he was the knowingest kind of a pup. The stage settings were a feature, particularly these used in the last two acts, which the members of the two societies built and painted themselves. Taken in all. “Strongheart” was a typical college play, produced by college students with true college spirit and appreciated to the utmost by a record breaking audience.

There was a laugh every minute ■ ;m(l :i few extras thrown in for good measure. The comedy is light and filled with many ludicrous and ridiculous situations, which by the cleverness of the cast ami the skillful coaching of Mrs. Carter was very humorously brought out. There was the snap so necessary to the success of comedy: there was none of the awkwardness common to amateurs: the love making, usually a stumbling block, was not the insipid article too frequently presented, but possessed character and flavor: the lines were read without hesitation or prompting and with the intelligent conception of effect necessary. The play was all that could have been expected of students and more. It was highly creditable to the cast and to Mrs. II. l� .

It is through its columns that the graduate in turn keeps in touch with the doings of his Alma Mater. It is through its columns that the people of our sister institutions, that the people generally of our own state and other states as well, form their opinion and judge the character and sentiment of the O.

Occasionally an article is published that docs not meet with general approval, but these are exceptions, and the policy of the Barometer has always been to express from a non-partisan point of view student body sentiment in a conservative and straightforward manner, maintaining always the high ideals of the college.

The Engineer is now in the fifth year of its existence and is an outgrowth of the original Northwest Journal of Engineering founded in 1908. The IkmIv of the magazine is devoted to articles written by students, faculty and alumni members of the engineering and forestry departments. The subjects are sufficiently diversified and scientifically accurate to make the publication a necessary part of the engineering students’ reading and a valuable asset to any man in the engineering profession. The articles are well illustrated with the best photographs, diagrams and curves obtainable, thus aiding in the presentation of the subject very materially helping in the understanding of the same. To make the “Engineer” larger and better, an electrical show was held in 1910 and 1911 to assist in financing the publication. In 1912 the show was made a general engineering show and called the “Engineering Show,” giving all the departments equal opportunity for helping the magazine. ENGINEER J. B.

In scope of work the magazine extends far In-vond the hounds of the campus. The graduates of the courses represented by the magazine are hearty, enthusiastic supporters and subscribers. and with the formation of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment League last fall the Oregon Countryman has grown in favor with this organization and is expected to act henceforward as an excellent medium through which the problems of practical agriculture may Ik-discussed, much to the advantage of both the student and the farmer. Special attention is given to the presentation of new discoveries and better methods of crop production. Articles carefully written by the students under the supervision of the faculty give much reliable information and many suggestions that could not be gotten otherwise. The domestic science and art department comprises no insignificant part of the magazine. Edited by a carefully selected staff, the young ladies of the college present to their readers many interesting items and valuable suggestions. For the coming year Mr. J. E. Cooter as editor and I). B. Hogan as business manager will assume the publication of the magazine, and it is their expressed desire to maintain and possibly improve the present excellent standard of the magazine.

TO------------------------------------------TO OFF FOR HOME I IK Youiik Men’s Christian Association headquarters are at Shepard Hall, a com-M fortable and conveniently located building, open to all students. The lobby coit- al J tains a piano, typewriter, study and reading tables, and about twenty-five of the best magazines and periodicals, which all are invited to use. Those, however, who desire to have the privileges of the swimming pool and those societies and clubs which have permanent headquarters in the building pay a small fee. which goes toward the maintenance. No special privileges with regard to the use of the building are granted to association members above those which are granted to others who assist in the maintenance. Our institution is one of the three agricultural colleges in the country provided with such a building as ours. Here are also provided bureaus of information and employment, and a hoard and room directory, for the benefit of all. The Christian association is the center of the Christian activities of the college men. The attempt is to make “Christian activities” a broader term than it is usually considered. While religious meetings. Bible study and mission study work are all emphasized as they justly should be, yet other activities are given fully as large a place. Mere, as well as through the aid of the different departments of work, many of the men have been led to look upon life with a broader realization of its possibilities, and with a clearer and more definite purpose regarding their life work. In connection with the religious meetings work the men have been addressed by many prominent men of the state. Aside from the visits of several international secretaries a scries of addresses by five of the leading college presidents of Oregon was a special and valuable feature. The Bible Study work has been conducted with a view to relating the students to the church: to this end most of the classes have been organized to meet at various churches, the students going to the class at the denomination of their preference. Through all the different departments the aim is to assist in cultivating a stronger third in our Body. Mind and Spirit trio. The officers for 1912-irt are as follows: President.....

Bible study classes have met on Thursday evenings at Waldo Hall, socials and luncheons have been held, special meetings when strong leaders were here, a strong high school branch association has made its beginning under the direction oi the college girls, and the cabinet conference for the colleges in the southern half of the Willamette Valley was entertained in Corvallis. Much of the work also has been of a quiet and personal kind. The Y. W. C.

SPORT ON COLLEGE JUNE ll days THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND MONO the numerous organizations which have sprung into cxistancc at (). A. C. during the last two years is the Student Volunteer Band. While this organization does not boast of the largest membership, it is safe to say, without fear of contradiction, that the purpose for which it exists heads the list of pur|x ses and aims which have been set forth in any organization in our college or any other college. The membership of the band consists of those students who. who after thoughtful and prayerful consideration have decided to give their lives to help enthrone Christ in the hearts of men in the lands across the sea. “These days are times of change among the nations. The industrial, political and even social and religious systems of the Orient are in a plastic state, just previous to a recrvstallization in a form no man can foresee. These nations are seeking, in the Western economic and political ideas, in Western science, the secret of present Western supremacy. Now that many new fields are accessible, the church has an unparalleled opportunity, to display the true secret of national well being, and at the same time to fulfill its historic mission, by presenting Christianity to the people. “The challenge has been heard. To increasing thousands is appealing the |x s-sihility of presenting in our own day the commossion given by the Master nineteen centuries ago. The band is not a local organization, but a local branch of an international movement. The Student Volunteer Band Movement was organized in 1886 and is now known and recognized in over one thousand institutions of higher learning in North America alone. The very presence of a Volunteer Band in any college community cannot but have an influence for good, because it brings more definitely the call for a larger service to those who are considering their life work. In their preparation for the future, the members find mutual help and encouragement in their meetings. Often, too, through this organization, the college people as a whole are enabled to hear strong, earnest speakers with world wide views and interests. The Band numbers fifteen members, several of whom graduate this year. [ 228 1 fienitie Robertson— Lets have a little harmony, bays. THE WINNING OF THE CUP There once was held a gala day On which festivities held sway, And society should pay Respects to the Y. M. C. A. A cup was offered of a size That well was fitting for a prize, But those who won this cup so rare Should win the cup by measures fair. Societies each one and all. And clubs of sizes great and small. Began with one accord and planned Each to outdo the other band. The race was on ami soon the prize Loomed up before the victor’s eyes. Who was the victor? Who can say? The Athenaeums and Clionians gay At first their thoughts all seemed inspired. But in despair they soon were mired. Yet a bright idea saved the hour When they agreed on witches power The prize was won but with great toil For the lx� nes in the caldron they did boil. The wind did moan, the lights burned dim And the witches told the fates so grim. Now even Satan showed his face. And helped to win the hard fought race. The witches wished the fun to share And he had hours of time to spare. The negro children as of yore. Were seated 'round the cabin door. Their lullabies they’d softly croon As they gazed up at the silvery moon. Within the cabin old Aunt Hannah. In checkered apron and bandana. With a dipper taken from the peg. Was serving cider from a keg. Then after all was o’er Their troubles were no more. The thirsty crowd had passed. The cup was theirs at last. -C. A. S. 1229] PUSSKRS JUNIOR PROM ON January 18, 1011, the students of the O. A. C. took upon themselves the responsi bility of self government. At the request of the Student Body as a whole, the faculty turned over to the students the powers of government. A true democratic government was formed to l� c carried on by the Student Body, one in which every student had an equal interest and an equal responsibility. As a means of carrying out the will of the Student Body and enforcing its regulations, a so-called Student Council was created, which was made up of thirteen men, of which seven were seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and one freshman. This organization was vested with full judicial and executive power. Self government lias now been carried on for two years. The efficiency of the system is indicated by the fact that it has become a permanent organization. Although the Council is entitled to a great deal of credit for the manner in which matters of discipline have been handled, still the real credit for the progress which this new government has made must be K«ven to the students as a whole, who have so admirably accepted the responsibility which Mich a government demands.

It was founded in 1884 and has numbered among its mem-hers Thos. A. Edison, Alexander Graham ltell. Nikola I isla. and others of like achievement, but whose names are less well known to the public. I oday its membership numbers about eight thousand men, among whom may l� e counted practically every leader in the profession in this country. The functions of the society are to contribute to the advancement of the electrical science by affording publications and meetings in which progress can be recorded and new ideas brought forward for discussion; to promote intercourse among its members; to encourage high ethical standards and to facilitate the standardization of machinery, apparatus and tcclii-cal language in common use. Headquarters of the society are maintained at New York, in the Engineers' building, with branch organizations in many of the large cities and technical schools throughout the country. In pursuit of a broad and liberal policy, undergraduate students in electrical engineering are offered limited meml crship on favorable terms for a period of three years, in order to acquaint them with the work of the institute with the expectation that they will become members at the expiration of the three year period, by which time they will Ik able to meet the more advanced requirements. With an incrasing population, an increasing use of mechanical appliances and social and economic conditions that are becoming more and more complex, organizations like the A. I. E. E., composed of men especially fitted to deal with many of the growing problems of society, will exert a continuously increasing influence. To such an organization every engineering student should count it both a duty and a privilege to offer his support. THE ELECTRICAL ASSOCIATION Top rou•—Nelson, Read. Fuiihira, Cohn. Jcpncson.

It was organized so as to give the students taking the civil m engineering course that knowledge that cannot be found in text-books. Member ship in the society is open to all students enrolled in the course. The programs of the various meetings consists of talks by practical men, as well as by the members. However, the instructive education is not the only benefit derived from the society, for the best of fellowship exists between the members, and many social functions are participated in. At the beginning of the school year a dinner was given by the society, to which all members were invited. Following this. President Watson entertained the society with an “informal feed” at Howe's. The biggest function of the year, however, is the war dance and observation on Polaris, at which time the seniors take all the members to the Sulphur Springs for a real taste of camp life. The regular meetings of the organization are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month. First Semester: I . (I. ISrown. I’. R. Watson F. W. Sm:tii J. Ciicrkis. .. Seniors I. T. Burch r. G.

The active membership is limited to the Senior and Junior classes, the Sophomores and Freshmen being associate members. The meetings, which arc held weekly, are well attended; every miner, from the dignified Senior to the verdant Freshman, taking an active interest in them. At these meetings the summer's experiences are recounted, the latest inventions and developments along mining lines carefully discussed, and occasionally an “old grad. or some well known engineer from the outside lectures on a live subject. Once a month the hour is given over to a social meeting. At this meeting mining, in all its phases, is strictly tabooed and the members with the aid of jokes, stories and refreshments proceed to drive dull care away.” THE ROLL Professor H. M.

HE newest department in college, blit not the least in importance by tar, is that of M forestry. The department was organized in 1906 by Professor Lake, and the enrollment at that time consisted of but five students. Four years later, in 1910, Professor Peavy was secured to take charge of this department, and, under his efficient management, the forestry course has undergone a complete reorganization, and has developed into one of the foremost courses offered in the institution. The Forest Club is composed of men registered in the forestry course, and at present has an enrollment of thirty-five members. Two meetings are held each month. One is given over to a discussion of topics pertaining directly to forestry and to business matters of the club. Occasionally lectures are delivered by men prominently connected with the Forest Service or the lumbering industry. The meetings devoted to social interests arc looked forward to and enjoyed by all the club members. Such meetings have tended to bring the foresters intimately together and unite them by a close bond of good fellowship. These social gatherings may even take the form of a night’s vigil in the forest where, seated around the camp fire, stories are told and songs are sung, while the aromatic odor of camp coffee is wafted on the air. and “overland trout” frizzles in the frying pan. From a social standpoint, the club was probably at its zenith when it gave its first annual ball in January. A veritable forest was the interior of the old college gym. and the stage, transformed into a model ranger's camp, added an interpreting touch of real outdoor environment. And those who glide among the firs to the entrancing strains of the waltz, while the mellow moonlight sifted through the branches, felt a thrill long to Ik remembered. So successful was this affair in every detail that it will hereafter be made an annual event of the club. President Vice-President Paul Frcidig O. It. Cole [240] OFFICERS OF THE CLflt . II. S.

The student rooms are large and comfortably furnished, the girls themselves providing such accessories as curtains, rugs, pictures and cushions. Thus an opportunity is afforded for the exercise of individual daintiness and originality in decoration. The hall is under the direct supervision of Dr. Anna Z. Crayne, dean of women of O. . . C. Dean Crayne meets and deals with each girl personally, in this way producing that home atmosphere which every young woman needs. Besides the student rooms there are spacious parlors, where the girls may entertain their friends. Dancing, fudge and various other parties arc of common occurrence, often as many as four or five are in progress at the same time. This is made possible by the arrangement of the parlors. The principal social event of the year for the dormitory girls is their annual reception, to which all their friends are invited. This affair is held during the first semester. Another, more exclusive party, is given during the spring term. These social events are made possible by the generosity of Mrs. Clara Waldo, a memlier of the l oard of regents of the college, and a staunch friend of the college girls. Mrs. Waldo is known as the older sister of the O. A. C. girls and her visits to the dormitory are pleasurcablv anticipated. She has always paid her dues to the Waldo Hall Club with a generous check, which this year amounted to two hundred dollars. This helped wonderfully in making the reception and parties a success. Not the least among the advantages of living at Waldo Hall are the friendships and social intercourse among the girls. Many are the spreads enjoyed by groups of girls, and many and surprisingly clever are the stunts planned for recreation periods. All parties arc given in the name of the Waldo Hall Club. All women living in the hall are members of this club. The officers of the club this yerfr arc: President..............Clara Wallan Second Vice-President.

A. pool, and on the appearance of a pool at the college, immediately got busy. The club now numbers fourteen men, all of whom are regularly enrolled in the College and have successfully passed the rigid entrance tests of their ability as an all-around swimmer and diver, justifying their worthiness to wear the orange and black ' ().

Hayes comes from Southern California. He acquired his swimming abilities in the clear waters of Santa Catalina Island at the V. M. C. A. training camps where he carried off all aquatic honors C. E. Bannister, who hails from Seattle, Wash., has developed into one of the speediest swimmers through his constant training and practice. His cheerful nature and ever ready enthusiasm won him the office he now holds. I'. E. Freydig. the smallest member of the club, comes from Southern Oregon. Although somewhat sawed off. he has proven his ability to move through the “aqua pura” with great speed. OFFICERS ___Hayes ...

Club has taken its place as a per-� manent body. The initial steps at founding this body, were taken at a meeting of all men at O. A. C. who had won the college emblem in athletics. The Orange O. Club has directed its efforts along several lines. The first of these is to organize all the men of the college who have won their letter in athletics, so as to promote greater friendship among them, and to gain for the letter a greater respect which will inspire men to more persistent efforts to earn one. Another aim of the club is to aid the Athletic Board in its affairs in any way in which it can be of service and to arouse enthusiasm at all contests. The third purpose is to provide entertainment for all visiting athletic teams, and for themselves. The field for a Ixxly such as this is large. Their usefulness has l een primarily demonstrated at the Interscholastic Track meet this spring, which was a marked success, due largely to the excellent management and entertainment accorded visitors by the club.

C0MNERCIAL T T rn HE Oregon Agricultural College Commercial Club is one oi the wide-awake clubs M of the college. This club includes all students registered in the school of commerce. J In 1907, when this club was first organized, only the Juniors and Seniors were allowed to belong. After two years had past, time showed the great amount of work this club had to do and the great benefit derived from it. so the members decided that every student of commerce should be permitted to receive full benefit and the under class-men were invited to join. The aim of the club is to obtain a better insight into the economic and political problems which puzzle the commercial world. By the consent of Dean Bexell an hour every week is given to the work of the club, 'l he club room is the large bookkeeping room on the third floor of the Agronomy building, where debates are given and current events are discussed bv the students. There are also talks given by the most prominent men of the commercial world. These programs are arranged so as to be most instructive and interesting to any one interested in commercial work. The officers are elected each semester: the president and vice-president from the Junior and Senior class. The officers are: First Semester President. Shanms McFaddcn Vice-President. E. T.

All agricultural students arc eligible to active membership and members of the agricultural faculty and post graduate students are admitted as honorary and associate mcm1� crs. The regular meetings arc held every other Wednesday during the school year. The average attendance for the past year has almost reached the one hundred mark. The object of the club is to enable the students of the various departments of the agri cultural work to get together and discuss each others’ problems.' At various times memlxrrs of the faculty address the club and occasionally practical agriculturalists of the state present to the hopefuls some of the problems as well as pleasures that their future farm homes will bring. The Oregon Countryman is the official publication of the club. Aided by the domestic science and art students the Agricultural Club, under the excellent editorship and manage ment of Jay I.eedy and Morris Koon respectively, have published a magazine that is second to none as compared with the publications of the other colleges of the United States. The work of the club is most impressively manifested at the time of the agricultural fair. At this time the most novel stunts, unique burlesque and splendid exhibits of the agricultural students are united with those of the domestic science and art students. A rousing two days’ carnival enjoyed by all the students of the college, as well as townspeople, thus unitin ; the students, faculty and friends of the agricultural work into one body, with a deep interest in each others work, as well as pleasure. The good accomplished by the club will long Ik remembered by those fortunate enough to be. in touch with its work. Second Semester: President, McKinley Huntington. First Vice-President.

It has continued to develop, slowly but surely, until the present time, I he object and purpose of this club is to promote a better understanding of the political, economic and and literary conditions of the different countries, and to cultivate social intercourse among the students of the different nationalities at the college and thereby foster the spirit of universal brotherhood. It also aims to cultivate the art of peace, to establish strong international friendship and to carry out the motto of the association. Above All Nations Is Humanity.” As this club has a unique object and purpose among the organizations of the college, the programs that have been rendered at the fortnightly meetings are of peculiar character. For instance, the rollcall is responded to by each member with a proverb in his mother tongue, after which it is translated into English. Readings and sj� eeches are occasionally rendered bv the members, dealing with the problems of social, economical or literary conditions of their respective countries. Besides these regular sessions the club holds an annual open meeting and entertains its friends. One of the greatest achievements of the club, in its short history, was the Chinese famine relief fund movement of last year. With hearty support of the students and generous townspeople a sum amounting to something over $245 was sent to China to help to save the starving people. This year the club is preparing to offer a gold medal to the winner of the international peace essay contest. OFFICERS Ire K. Gillct. President K. Okamoto, Secretary V. Long. Treasurer J. A. Hogg.

THE LEWELLING CLUB ■ JEELIXG that an organization for the discussion of horticultural topics would be I of great c lucational value, the students interested in horticulture in the fall of 1907 founded the Lcwclling Club, named in honor of Henderson Lewelling, the father of Oregon horticulture. The early organization was of a loose character, having no officers except the temporary chairman appointed Jor each meeting. In the spring of 1911 the members decided that a closer organization was necessary to attain the best results, so the club was reorganized with permanent officers. The objects and purpose of the new club have been to discuss horticultural subjects and to investigate horticultural problems. The club meets every Monday night and the time is given over to the delivery of papers and talks by the members, ending with the question box which brings into play the horticultural knowledge of every member. The value of the club in developing and broadening the horticultural knowlege of its members can scarcely be overestimated, and every student interested in any phase of horticulture can little afford to l� e absent from its meetings and lose these opportunities. An attempt is made to have every member on the program at least once a semester, so that every student receives the full benefit of membership. The assistance of the faculty members on the programs and the interest shown by them in the organization has been of great value in helping to accomplish the purpose of the club. President ....

The Madrigal Club has always been in demand for convocation and each time they have appeared they have l� een enthusiastically received.

The club was organized in the fall of 1911, the object being to draw the young people of that section in closer touch with the college and to create a greater interest among the college students in the eastern part of the state. Their l oosting is of good quality and the club is on a good foundation—a point where a great many new clubs are weak. But the Eastern Oregon Club is a live organization and is rapidly coming to the front in fine style. The members arc composed of both men and women students, which makes the matter of getting up a program and promoting their social affairs a task less difficult than where an organization is wholly composed of men or women. This was demonstrated very forcibly by the dance which they gave in the gymnasium and which proved to lx- one of the leading social events of the year. The club also held a reception in honor of the short course students, which proved a big success. CLUB OFFICERS E. B.

EASTERN OREGON CLUB THE “GIMMIE” CLUB ONE of the most convenient and unique associations ever formed at O. A. C. is the Ginunic Club.” The integrity and steadfastness of its members cannot be questioned. since it is their aim and desire to encourage a better circulation of the useful commodities. The purpose of the organization is for the mutual convenience of its members, whose fecundity is distinctly manifest. The membership includes many of our most popular and influential students who uphold the practices and methods of procedure of the Ginnnie Club with a pertenacious tenacity. During its period of existence the club has attained a marked degree of popularity and to the undaunted energy of its charter members is doubtless due the success of the organization. The motto of the Gim-mies is Always provide yourself with the desirable. Some oi the most prominent members and their corresponding duties are mentioned in the following succinct form: .Mr. Plynipton—Gimmie shoe shine. Mr. Dunham—Gimmie some notes. Ben Cooper—Gimmie chew. Cheney—Gimmie some soap. King” Mansfield—Gimmie a big shoe. Bill Taft—Gimmie a big pair of pants. Johnny Cooter—Gimmie a joke, also a B. S. Morris Coon—Gimmie an “A. Wm.

WWTCIIEK the first call for football practice was issued this season by Coach M Dolan some fifty odd men responded. But among this number only a scant five had ever defended the orange in football before. Captain May, Reynolds, Sitton. Kellogg of last year, and Evenden of the 1909 team. With a nucleus of only five veterans around which to build a team, it was indeed a difficult task. In the face of this circumstance Coach Dolan began with an unswerving determination to develop a machine. The squad for the most part was composed of green, inexperienced and light men. The team was as light as any in the conference. The first game of the season was with the Alumni. It was seen in this game that the team would be heard from before the close of the season. At this stage of the season the team was given a tremendous 1 oost by the return of Octv” Endberg, who graduated last year. Under the ever watchful eye of Coach Dolan the team came to the front fast. The decisive victories that resulted from the practice games with Pacific University and Chemawa began to show the real strength of the team. Now the practice games were over, intensive preparation was made for the big conference games. The first real game was played at Seattle with the University of Washington. The heavy university champions were too much for Dolan's featherweights, who played a losing game with fight to the finish. The Washington State College was the next team played, and it was in this game that the results of a well coached team began to show itself. The heavy W. S. C. team were rated two to one winners by most football enthusiasts, but the practice of scientific football., coupled with pluck and fight, enabled O. A. C. to nose out a victory. The game was won in the last twenty seconds of play, and will be remembered as one of the most spectacular games ever played on the local field. Willamette University was the next eleven met. After a hard, roughly played game O. A. C. anchored the long end of the score. [ 275 ] The last name of the season took place with Whitman College at Walla Walla, Washington. on Thanksgiving Day. The result of this game determined whether or not O. A. C. took second place in the conference league. It was due to the head work of Quarterback Reynolds that O. A. C. succeeded in pulling off a play so bewildering to the Whitman players that the winning touchdown was made before they caught the drift. This victory placed the orange defenders second in the conference league. 'I'ltc graduate coach system is the most popular system ever instituted at (). A. C. For the work of Coach Dolan too much cannot be said. Never in the history of the institution has a coach won more favor and appreciation from the student lx)dy and faculty than has Coach Dolan. With Coach Dolan and Assistant Coach Pilkington with us again next year something is liable to happen. i 276 ] S. M. I . DOLAN Coach CAPTAIN THOMAS H. MAY. 14. Tackle. To be elected captain of a football team after having played only one year on it is a record that stands for itself, and Captain May needs no eulogizing to give him higher esteem among his fellow students. Cap had considerable gridiron experience before coming to O. A. C. having played on the. Willamette University and Multnomah Club teams. His thorough knowledge of the game, coupled with his undying enthusiasm, and fight to the finish spirit, caused his team-males to place their confidence in him as a leader. His playing in the early games of the season were of high order, and it was a severe loss to the team when he was injured. But his pluckiness was shown when he played the entire game crippled as he was, against the University of Washington team. And again when he played in the Whitman game just after his recovery from an attack of smallpox, lie would easily have made the All Northwest tackle if injuries had not kept him out of the game for a time. We are expecting great things from him next year. I 277 ] CAPTAIN ELECT OT TO SITTOX, Tl, Guard. Otto is a Yamhill resident, but he learned football at O. A. C. He first received recognition on a class team by Sol Metzger in 1909. lie was then shifted to the first squad. Owing to his light weight he struggled with great odds against him. Hut Otto was born with the fight to win spirit, and it won for him a permanent place in the line on Schild-miller's team last year. Under Coach Dolan's supervision he learned the finer points of the game and last season he became a star in the line. His persistent playing and inspiring spirit won for him the confidence of his teammates, lie was unanimously elected to captain the 1912 team. Under his leadership we are insured of a creditable team next season to say the least. Otto has never opposed a man at guard of his own weight, but always by a man from 5 to 25 pounds heavier, yet he has always combatted the onslaughts of his antagonist in a heroic manner. OCTY,” POST GRADUATE, End. JOHN OSCAR ENDBERG. Octy” has played his allotcd time of football, having won his monogram for four consecutive seasons. He has always been one of the mainstays on the team, but this year with his added experience he was of more value to the team than hi' past brilliant records show. He has played half, tackle and end on our team and was always considered a strong man in each position. This year he found himself to greater advantage at end, and made such an excellent showing that he was selected as the best end in the Conference Colleges and was given a place on the All Northwest team. His receiving of forward passes was perfect, his punting of high order, and his place kicking the best in the Northwest. His speed and fierce tackling blocked most plays attempted around his end of the line. When Captain May was out of the game Swede was elected field captain, and he filled the position with much admiration. W'e feel deeply the loss of the big-hearted, peerless athlete and brilliant student. D. Brooks Hogan— Are you sure she meant what she said?” |27X| SHRIMP.” ’13. Quarterback. CHARLES REYNOLDS. “Shrimp,” the gritty little quarterback, has played on our team for three seasons and has always “made good.” The persevering little midget weighs only 126 pounds, and probably is the lightest individual ever making a place on a conference team. What lie lacks in size is more than balanced by his keen, wonderfully cool head, and the confidence he instills into his teammates. He has no superior when it comes to handling a football team. As was said by one of the leading sporting editors: With twenty pounds more flesh on his frame the gritty little 19-year-old lad would burn up the circuit! He has developed into one of the best men at returning punts that O. A. C. has ever had. At the safety position lie lias as vet the first man to pass him. His speed and ability to carry the ball was responsible for our victory over the strong Willamette team, as he is credited with the only touchdown of the game. “Shrimp has one more year of football and will be a strong contender for All Northwest honors next season. CHARLES SITTOX, '11, Tackle. After Captain May was injured Charles took his place at tackle. For two years lie had been tried at half and end positions, but not until he occupied the line position did lie begin to chill the enemies fervor. In the W. S. C. game he was given his first opportunity at real football. He was in the mix all the time, and it will long be remembered how he shot over the line with the ball for a touchdown during the last few seconds of play in the W. S. C. game. Charles and Otto form a team that is invincible and with his return next year football will assume a high aspect. [ 279 ] TED COY.' 'i:«. Fullback. JAMES EVEXDEX. The temperature of the student body raised about fifteen degrees with enthusiasm when the news spread over the campus that Jim Evenden was going to Ik- in the football lineup last fall. Jim captained the 1909 team, and was a favorite among the students. I le held down the tackle position in 1909 and was one of the two who won loving cups for not having to take time out during the entire season. This year he was shifted to the hack field position, owing to his speed and ability to carry the ball. He filled the position of fullback in a manner that would do credit to an old timer in that position. He is an accurate passer, and hits the line like a ton of brick. He is also very strong on running in punts. We hope Jim places in the AH Xorthwest next year. “TUB;' '15, Center. GEO. CARLSON. “Tub” came to us from Portland with several years of football experience. He first played on the Lincoln High School team of Portland, and it was while there that he received the name “Tub”; at that time he weighed upward of 200 pounds. After finishing high school he played for the Multnomah Club five seasons, and learned enough about the game to cause him to be one of the most aggressive players in the Xorthwest. This season under Coach Dolan he made a splendid showing, being selected as All Xorthwest center by several. On defense he is a veritable giant, always tearing through his opponents at will and throwing his man for a loss. With three more years of football ahead of him “Tub's” future is indeed bright. DON,” '14, End. DONALD KELLOGG. Don” has played football two seasons tor us. and has won a place in the hearts of the student body members, for he could always l� c relied upon to take care of his end of the line. He is exceptionally strong on defense, his tackling and breaking up interference often resulting in a great loss for the opponents. His open field tackling is a feature. His fierce playing in the last part of the V. S. C. game was the direct result of our victory. for he tackled the man who was running with the Kill so hard that he dropped it and it rolled over the line where one of our men fell on it. just as the final whistle sounded. “Don” has two more years in college and should be a formidable contender for All Xorthwest honors. FRANK MOORE. ’15. Tackle. ‘'Prunes was first introduced to the game « f football when serving on the second team under Coach Xorcross three years ago. After laying out for two years he decided to enter O. A. C. again. Those who knew the big fellow with the broad smile counted themselves lucky, and it did not take long for the football fans to appreciate O. A. C.’s good fortune. At tackle Prunes was a strong man. as was evidenced by the spectacular tackle round play, and by his fierce line plunging. With Ins weight, skill and increasing knowledge of the game. (). A. C. is looking for a Northwest tackle next year. SHAW, 15. Right Half. “Hunky” entered our ranks last fall for the first time. With four years of high school experience at Al crdecn and Hoquiam. Wash., he l ecame familiar with the game. He experienced little difficulty in making the team. With a few instructions in the finer points of the game Hunky” made a formidable player. 11 is speed and ability to carry the hall characterize his playing. He won the hearts of the rooters by his long thrilling end runs. Hunky’s” fighting spirit will win recognition in the Northwest for him some day. CHRISM AX, ’15. Guard. Cris,” the big husky guard from Kentucky, was one of the most valuable finds of the season. He entered O. A. C. with a few seasons of football experience, which he received in the blue grass country. This experience, together with his weight, soon landed him a position on the team. He vas especially strong at breaking through the opponent’s line ami throwing the dangerous man for a loss. As a result of his consistent work Cris was given honorable mention for a place on the All Northwest team. With three years more in which to achieve honors as a gridiron warrior his future is indeed bright. ‘‘JESS ’ ’15, Left Halt. RODGER W. JESSUP. Jessup hails from Utah. He learned the rudiments of football at the Utah Preparatory School. After this preparatory training he entered the university where he played on the varsity football team one season. Jessup is there with the big boot, lie is fast and knows how to evade the enemy. His thrilling work brings the rooters to their feet. We are expecting a great deal of Jessup next fall. “BENNY,” ’15, End. BENJ. ROBERTSON. “Benny,” the boy with the big smile, hails from Washington High School, of Portland. He turned out for practice immediately after entering O. A. C. and soon showed that he knew the game. He was always found following the ball closely and it was due to this fact that lie secured the ball on the twenty-five yard line, after a punt and raced for the touchdown that won the Whitman game for us. He is a freshman and has three more years to be a hero of Beaver teams. [ 282] Jric” Gillct—■“There will be a committee meeting at noon.

The fans did not realize, however, just what it meant to be without Fielder Jones, the one pre-eminent baseball coach, as well as the absence of Horton and Crews from the lineup. These facts, coupled with the aid of Fate landed 0. A. C. in fourth place in the percentage column. west League team. The game ended with a 12 to l score in favor of the professionals. Moore made the Beavers’ lone tally. It was in this game that Keck walloped a long drive into right field, which bounced on the top of the fence and fell inside, thus making it possible for him to be thrown out at home plate. The first conference games were with Whitman. Two games were played and the Beavers were on the big end of the score each time. The games were slow and ragged. Whitman was more demoralized by the loss of veterans than any other team. After these games came the invasion of the north. Eight games were played, three were won and the rest lost by the Beavers. The first game was with Willamette. Here in [ 286 ] a fast game Walker's team was victorious. In this game quite a shakeup in positions was made. The next day Multnomah Club slipped a 6 to 3 defeat to the team and sent them on their way to Seattle. At Seattle the fast team of veterans of the University of Washington dished out two bitter pills to the Beavers and bade them on their way to the Inland Empire. Success began to hang around the Beavers, but luck was against them. At Idaho and Washington State College they broke even. Two games were played at each place. When the Beavers arrived home there were still four games to play, two with Washington State College and two with Idaho University. While the Beavers were going on the field for the first inning of the W. S. C. game a protest against Moore came from the University of Washington. He was taken out and Henklc put behind the bat. Henkle hardly held out until the old faithful “Tubby” Wolff could get into a suit. Tubby” finished that game and remained ltehind the bat the remainder of the season. Red” Walters also made his debut into college baseball in this game. “Red” held down the third sack. The team was placed in the old positions again in this game. The shakeup which Walker had used on the Northern trip was not satisfactory. Of the two W. S. C. games one was a victory and the other a defeat for the Beavers. The last two games of the season were with Idaho University. The team was in fine condition, playing better ball than they had at any time during the season. Two defeats were given Idaho as a farewell to the 1911 baseball season. THE SEASON IN EPITOME Where Plavcd Opponent Opponents Score O. A. C. Score 12 1 Corvallis ...

Coach Walker came into prominence while a member of the pitching staff of the San Francisco. Pacific Coast League team during the 1910 season. His name could not be discovered. so he became known as Mysterious Mitchell. He began his professional career with the cw York Giants, where he gained fame as a baseball twirlcr. and was later purchased by the San Francisco manager. Coach Walker, who is a graduate of the University of Chicago, received his preparatory training at the Ilyde Park High School of Chicago; lie was a star performer both on the diamond and on the gridiron, being captain of the baseball team during Ins senior year. For two consecutive seasons lie was selected to fill an end position on the All Western football eleven. After leaving college. Walker immediately occupied the position of the Alonzo Stagg team of Chicago. Later he directed the Utah Agricultural College football squad, and the following spring he coached the University of Mississippi baseball team to the inter-collegiate championship of the South. Such is the record of the Mysterious ' pitcher who coached the baseball squad in 1911. CAPTAIN LAWRENCE KEEN. Ml, Pitcher. Lawrence Keen came to O. A. C. from Salem High. While at the Salem High School he gained a wide reputation as a star performer in the box. After entering (). A. C. he tried ■T out for the team in his sophomore year and made good with- out difficulty. For three years he rendered O. A. C. a serv-J ice which has no greater equal on the diamond. “Larry” (as he is known to the students) was one of the most reliable players on the team. Coolness and precision characterized alway- knew r do leadership abilitv ua- realized hv hi' leannn ties ami he ae c •� ilinv:i die nt:anim--U' choice '. ■ captain the team dm ing his senior year. We regret having lost him by graduation. CAPTAIN ELECT GEORGE REIBEN, Ml, Pitcher. George Reiben is one of those kind of athletes that makes O. A. C. famous. When he came to O. A. C. he was inexperienced at baseball, but made a try for the team in his freshman year and revealed to the coach his possibilities as a pitcher. The next year he made his place on the team with ease, and during the last two years his work has been a power to the team. Each year his work in the box has improved, and if it improves at the usual rate during this year some league manager will be after him. When the news came that George had been selected as leader of the 1912 team a relieved feeling crept over every fan on the campus. They knew that the leadership was in good hands. For a long time it looked as if lie would not return this year, but the call for him was so strong that he could not resist, so he entered college the second semester and will help (). A. C. in the baseball battles this year, which will wind up his college career in baseball. We will feel deeply his loss. RAY POFF, Ml, Left Field. Poff made good at baseball in his freshman year. And in his second year established an enviable record for himself. No member on the team being better versed in the knowledge of the game than he, and so pronounced was his ability as a baseball leader that his teammates selected him to captain the team in his junior year. His playing was always of high order. His fielding was unexcelled in the Northwest colleges. Not only was he proficient in the field, but lie was also a good batsman and base runner. His place will be hard to fill and his presence will be missed by the fans. HARRY COOPER, M2, First Base. “Coop,” as he is known in athletic circles, made his debut into college baseball in 1911 on Fielder Jones’ championship team. He performs in admirable way on the initial sack. His reach wins for O. A. C. His accuracy and coolness has won for him favor among the fans. His snap and ginger are characteristic of his playing. “Coop” is a hard player and fights with courage when defeat seems inevitable. W c are expecting phenomenal playing from Harry this season. [290 1 WALTER KECK. 'll. Center Field. Chief,” as he is favorably known throughout the Northwest. held the middle garden position for three years. To find a better all around man for the position will be a hard task. “Chief” has gained wide renown as a slugger. Many victories have been credited to O. A. C. by his timely three-baggers. His long hit in the deciding game for the championship two years ago will long be remembered at O. A. C. 11 is sensational hits characterize his playing. It is a sad moment for the fan who thinks of the fact that Keck will not 1h‘ back this year. OTTO MOORE, ’ll. Catcher. Otto Moore gained more reputation in baseball for O. A. C. than any one other man. He is among the best baseball players of the Northwest. During the season he was protested by the University of Washington on the ground oi professionalism. This took him out of the last four games. When the Portland Roadsters were at O. A. C. Manager Williams liked the looks of “Tow so well that he signed him. Tow made good with the professionals and was near the top of the batting list at the end of the season. CARE WOLFF, Catcher. Carl Wolff, ’ll, is a veteran of athletics at O. A. C. In 1007 he made his baseball monogram in the backstop position. The next year the invincible “Tow” Moore entered college and it became necessary for “Tubby” to step down. He did so with grace, but still fought for O. A. C. in football and track. Last year when Tow” was taken out of the game “Tubby” went in without any practice. He played a splendid game that day, and was kept behind the bat for the rest of the season. He made his adieu to college athletics with the kiscball season. He is probably missed more than any other one athlete at O. A. C. today. CLIFFORD RF.F.D, Third Rase. Clifford Reed made his initial appearance in baseball with Fielder Jones’ champions, lie was initiated at the difficult corner and remained there. He is a good hunter and fast base runner. Near the end of the season he was shifted to the short stop position, where he played as good a game as he did at third. “Teddy” has decided not to return to O. A. C. this year, so a gap in the team will be made by his absence. |291 ] Peg Starker—Imi the next day it rained. HOLLY SIEMOXS, 11, Short Stop. Holly Siemons tried for three years to land the short stop position, but Crews could not be overcome. Last year with Crews out of the way he made the team with ease. Holly was a good man. but a little to deliberate. His deliberate style of playing gained him favor in some cases, but was the cause of allowing men to reach the initial sack which in many cases should never have happened by playing tight ball. With another year Holly's playing would have l cen of sterling quality, lie is lost to (). A. C. by graduation and will probably never enter college baseball again. JOE TURK, '15, Second Baseman. l urk came to O. A. C. with a good knowledge of baseball. This knowledge coupled with a determination to make the team won tor him his monogram in his Freshman year, lie did not enter school this year and his absence will be felt on the diamond. He entered business in Portland and took unto himself a wife. The students extend hearty congratulations to him. but we would like to sec him covering the second mound. LYNX HKXKLE, ’15, Right Field. Lynn Hcnklc made his monogram in his first year at college. He tried out for catcher and landed the job. On the northern trip he made his monogram playing the right garden. Lynn knows the game well and will be a strong contender for the backstop position this year. He should be a much stronger player this season. [2921 REVIEW OF THE SEASON 1912 ROSPECTS for ;i winning team in basketball were not very bright at the be-■ ginning of the season. Captain Cooper, Burdick and Mattson were the only monogram men of last year’s team who reported for practice. Things indeed looked gloomy to Dr. Stewart when he arrived. But through his untiring efforts combined with his thorough knowledge of the game he soon whipped a team into condition which, to the surprise of many, captured the Northwest conference championship. The ball was started rolling on January 20, when the Dallas team met our hoys in the home gymnasium. The way our team piled up the score served to stimulate the rooters to such a degree of interest that support never slackened throughout the entire season. The following Saturday the Beavers met the husky Philomath aggregation and in this game Dr. Stewart’s defensive system was well demonstrated to the fans, as our team guarded their opponents so closely that they were unable to score a field goal. The score was 37 to 2. Philomath making two fouls. February 3 O. A. C. met and defeated the Pacific University by the score of -17 to 5. Through Dr. Stewart's excellent coaching the team proved itself superior to the Willamette boys. Willamette’s victory of the year before was not duplicated, the score being -� 7 to 9 in favor of O. A. C. Up to this time all games had been played on the home floor. On February 16 our team started on their northern trip. The O. A. C. rooters realized that they were supported by a fighting hunch and they all swarmed to the depot to give the team a good cheering send off. Football spirit was revived and the Beavers gave the team the largest send-off ever given a basketball team from O. A. C. The schedule of games on this tour was the heaviest that any conference college in the Northwest has yet undertaken, playing eight games in nine nights. The trip may be considered a successful one. O. A. C. winning five games out of the eight played. The first conference meet was with the University of Washington at Seattle. A series of two games were played, both games going to them. The scores were 13 to 11 and 20 to 17. The next game on the list was with the University of Idaho at Moscow. It resulted in a 31 to 10 victory for O. A. C. The team then journeyed on to Pullman, where they took two more games, which were played with the Washington State College. The scores being 19 to i.'� and 12 to 4 respectively. I 293 ] Soon after their return from tltc northern trip the boys faced the University of Idaho in two games on the home floor. O. A. C. again easily outclassed the Idaho quintet by taking l oth games. A week later W. S. C. put up a husky fight, but lost both games to the Beavers. The last two games oi the season were played with the University of Washington on the home floor. With a determination to win these games the light weight Beavers met the husky Washingtonians with such force and fighting spirit that the first game was won by a score of 18 to 12. The next night the northerners came hack strong and put up a hard game, but owing to Captain Cooper's basket shooting and the support from the rooters, accompanied by the splendid work of the entire team the score stood 9 to 8 when the last whistle blew. As the University of Washington lost two games to the University of Oregon, these victories made O. A. C. the undisputed champions of the Northwest. HARRY COOPER, T2 Captain and Forward, ‘'Slim,” as lie is known at O. A. C., has played three seasons of basketball for us. He captained the 1912 quintet, which landed the All Northwest championship. He is an accurate passer, fast on the floor and was second to none in the Northwest conference at basket shooting. No one questioned the selection when he was chosen as one of the All Northwest forwards. Bert B.— Say. Honan. have you fed your chickens yet V' [204] BERT BURDICK, ’13, Captain-Elect and Forward. Bert has been one of the strong men on the team for the past two years. Though he weighs but a hundred and twelve pounds he has always been able to cope with the largest on the floor. His snappy, fast, heady work has made him a favorite among the fans. He was unanimously chosen by his teammates to captain the 1913 team. ALVIN MATSON. T- Guard. Funny” is a persistent fast player. He is one of the two players who was never taken out of a game during the entire season on account of injuries. The fans always had implicit confidence in him because he was always dependable, and always in the game. “Funny” was unquestionably one of the best guards in the Northwest, and accordingly he was given an All Northwest guard position. We are sorry to loose him bv graduation. i THOMAS E. MAY. 14. Guard. Evert is one of O. A. C.'s best athletes. He has proven himself an indispensable quantity in l oth football and basketball. He was one of Dr. Stewart's most reliable men. lie played an exceptionally strong game at guard, but lost All Northwest honors by being out of a numl er of Raines on account of injuries. He has two more years at O. A. C. GEORGE McFARI.AXD, i::. Guard.

C. in winning the Xorthwest championship. During his under graduate days he was one of the best players on the team, this year being no exception, as he was one of the mainstays on the ground, lie nearly always got the batoff on his opponent, and used splendid head work at all times.

THE SEASON IN TRACK RACK athletics were at an extremely low tide last spring at the beginning of the M season. Captain J. (). Endbcrg, Carl Wolff and Guy Shaddock composed the W nucleus from which to begin development. These three men were the only ones in college who had won their monograms that returned. Another feature that spread added gloom over the track situation was the lack of a coach at the | eginning of the season. Captain Endbcrg determined that O. A. C. should at least be represented in track, set assiduously about to line up men for practice. Meanwhile Manager Cox was working with unrestrained effort to locate a coach who was qualified for the position. Just about tiie time prospects were looking most dismal Mr. Cox communicated with l)r. Steckle, who finally consented to coach the team. But he temporarily sacrificed his medical profession in order to do it. Dr. Steckle is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and a noted athlete of that institution. He has been a loyal supporter of the O. A. C. for a number of years, first coming in contact with our institution when he coached football here in 1904-5. With the presence of Coach Steckle the team began to take on new courage. The Columbia meet was only three weeks off when the coach first appeared on the field. He took hold of the situation remarkably well, and by the time the Columbia meet was at band the team was well rounded into shape. With only four more points O. A. C. would have won the meet. In this meet J. O. Baker and “Red” Walters were the stars for O. A. C. While O. A. C. did not land the track championship in 1911 she made a good showing, considering the circumstances under which she labored. Much credit is due Dr. Steckle for his splendid services rendered in coaching the team. That we are very sorry to loose Captain Endlierg, Carl Wolff, Connell Dyer and Albert Asbahr bv graduation is the least we can say. [ 299] DR. STEWART HAT President Kerr believes in procuring useful as well as good looking gifts M for his charges was very forcibly shown when he brought as a souvenir of his W Eastern trip in December the Doctor.” Doctor Stewart graduated from the medical college of Western Reserve University, class 1901. lie took his preliminary work at Mount Union and Western Reserve. While at Mount Union he made every athletic team. At Western Reserve he organized their first basketball team, and captained it. He was captain of the liascball team and played quarterback on the football team. After his graduation in 1904 he organized the “Masilon Tigers,” a football team which was amateur at first but afterwards Ixtcamc professional. He also coached and played quarterback on this team, which had on its payroll fourteen All American men.” In the fall of 1909 he went to Allegheny College, where he coached three years, turning out excellent team's for material furnished. It was from this place that President Kerr obtained him. With all these non-de-plumes hanging on him you would think that he must predict an athletic future for O. A. C.. or he would not have left the East. He did. He says The physical condition of (). A. C. is wonderful, and if worked up to the proper pitch in a scientific manner we can have many Northwest championships:” However, he believes in luck and goats. His possibilities are unlimited, we think, considering the young stuff he has had to work with in producing a winning team. His coaching shows originality but with strict adherence to athletic laws. He is very human, a friend of every fellow, but not the kind that you would care to take advantage of and shirk. If you have anything in the athletic line on your person be careful about showing it or you may have to wear an O.” Doctor Stewart's career has l� cen a very interesting one and we have been very lucky in obtaining a man who has a degree in medicine, who l ears all the letters that are given by three schools in athletics and who organized, played with and coached the greatest football aggregation that was ever gotten together, and who landed for us a Northwest championship as his first offense.

The meet was very interesting from a spectator's standpoint, hut the time in most events was very slow, which was due in a large measure to the poor condition of the track. The visitors were in fine form, while the Aggies, owing to the absence of Coach Steckle, caused by his unfortunate accident, the team slackened in its training. Whitman, represented with but nine men, put up a splendid, clean exhibition, and came near going home with O. A. C.’s scalp. Certainly there is not a cleaner bunch of sports on the Coast than those who represented Whitman's track team. Many of the old-time first place men for O. A. C. were not reliable in their events in this meet. A little more training would have shown better results. The individual point winner of the meet was Bloomquist of Whitman, who annexed three firsts, a total of 15 points for his team.

The championship was in doubt this year, until the Orange grapplcrs journeyed to Pullman and captured four out of six bouts from Washington State College, the University of Washington having already tied both W. S. C. and (). A. C. In the University of Washington match Captain Sitton, Leedy and Kelly won their bouts, while the other three were lost to the University. The victories from W. S. C. were awarded to Sitton. Kelly. Pearcy and Amort. Three mat artists will be taken away from us this year by graduation. Captain Sitton, J. Leedy and K. Pearcy. “Hack” Sitton has proved himself to Ik- the greatest wrestler that ever walked the padded mat at O. A. C. His record is one that will never Ik- surpassed and probably never equalled. For four years he has held the Northwest championship at 175 pounds. And during this time he has won every match that he has entered, and has never yet had his shoulders pressed to the mat by a college grappler. I 305 | .H«. Jay Leedy at 158 pounds has wrestled on two championship teams. He made the team during his Kook year, but was kept out of the game for the next two years by an injured shoulder. This year he returned to the mat, and filled up a weak hole in the team and did his share in winning the honors. Knight Pearcy has served three years on the Varsity, two years at 125 pounds and this year at 135 pounds. John Kelly celebrated his second year on the team by winning the championship at 145 pounds. He was duely rewarded for his splendid work by being elected captain for next year. Paul Frcydig at 115 pounds is the “hard luck man of the team. His matches were close and hard fought. It was not because of his lack in gameness that he was not a winner. Amort at 125 pounds was the surprise of the season. He had never seen a mat before this year, but by the close of the season he was handling himself like a veteran. Great credit is due James Arbuthnot, coach, for the success of the team. He has turned out two championship teams in the three years he has been coaching wrestling. f 306 J “Toots” (getting his second inspiration in class affairs)—“You fellows get out there and help with the Prom.” WRESTLING TEAM Left to right—Amort, I’carcy, Sit ton, McBride.

C. during the spring M C of 1911 was stimulated by the improvement of % J Shack” and Fraternity courts and by the advent of several experienced players. Though no intercollegiate was held, considerable interest was taken, first in the Shack tournament and later in the interclass tournament. the latter being won by a Freshman, A.. Freeman Mason of Pasadena, Cal. In this man, hailing from the land of sunshine and tennis, we have a fast, consistent player whom we confidently hope will bring future tennis honors to O. A. C. • The outlook for tennis during this season. 1912. is especially bright. A Tennis Club has been organized with over 100 members, which includes many new students of exceptional ability. The officers of the club are as follows: President. A. Freeman Mason. Vice-President. Miss Ruth Shepard. Secretary, Miss Ann Rutledge. Treasurer. Frank W. Clync. Property Manager. S. J. Damon. Several new courts are soon to be constructed by the college on high, well drained soil, the preliminary survey being already started, and no doubt ere this annual is in the reader’s hands the Racquet will have asserted itself.

Leaving Corvallis in high glee we were whirled with great rapidity to Albany. Being 12 o’clock the Hungry Twelve” made a rush to the nearest hotel and got unexpectedly stung for 50 cents each for appeasing their appetites. Professor Gaskins gets a long distance telephone call. After seeing the sight of this berg the Glee Club appears before the local High School and score a big hit. 1-atcr Canfield. Thomas. Russel and Montague are seen parading the streets with four of Albany’s distinguished belles. How they got in is secret. Boddinghouse also shows up well here, as he is seen striking a few matches with an old acquaintance. Our porters make a big hit with the bunch the first meal and arc tipped liberally (?). We later repair to the opera house, where a large crowd clamorously and expectantly await our appearance. Among the audience are a few loyals from Corvallis who chartered a special handcar to convey them to Albany. A few amusing side issues transpire during the concert. Mr. Williams deems it necessary on one number by the octette to come on the stage as chief supervisor. Observing hurriedly that his presence is not required he left faces and beats it off the stage. Guffaws from the gallery. Again Lauder observes that three girls (who are compelled to sit on bald headed row on account of the crowded condition of the house) were convulsed with laughter at his bear skin covering between his hose and kilts. At the car in the evening the porter predicts that the odor of feet will be decidedly strong before we get l� ack home. So far nothing but the most fragrant emanations pervade the atmosphere. Red Ueckart—“By golly, who said so ' [314] Tuesday, February 13. The “Agonizing Trio” (Haight, Odeen and Williams), later known as William’s Jubilee, or the “Pic or the Pudding listing Kids, start the next morning after the first concert off with a brisk rough house. Porters as referees. Result doubtful. landed in Salem by time breakfast is finished. Amid the downpour of the heavenly elements the crowd depart for a tour of inspection of the town. After noon the two clubs render selections at the High School and make a very favorable impression, for we were greeted with a lusty Zip Boom Bee and departed amid cheers. A matinee is given at the penitentary and the asylum is also visited. This left a very uncanny sensation. Later Russel docs the comedian stunt in a refreshing parlor and is bawled out by a couple of W. U. students. Professor Gaskins and the Lord High Twiddler (Brewster) get lost and barely get in for lunch. Here our first accident of the trip occurs. Mr. Mackay loses instrument. but with the aid of a Pinkerton he succeeds in locating it and lands in Silverton in time for the concert. The Modest Koenig (King of the Rooks) astonishes us all by the way in which he capers with fair sex in this town. We fear for him. It was observed that some of the boys’ expenses for breath perfume in this town was rather high. The concert in the evening was a decided success, although none of the audience had to stand for want of room or seats. Wednesday. February 14. We are off the next morning for Silverton quite early. Stopping at Woodburn for an hour, part of the time was spent in a game of hot hand, in which the Rooks were the victims. There is no dearth of rough houses today. Silverton was reached and here the fussers” found themselves in paradise. Of those found wandering in the i ark with company of the fair sex were: Prexy Odeen. Sliep ard. Andy McGee, Williams and Russel. Odeen and McGee fought a duel to sec who should escort a young lady home, in the midst of which her “steady” appeared and l oth were left in the pany of the fair sex were: Prexy Odeen. Shcp- lurch. Mum’s the word. The octette appears enthusiastically encored. The theater was crowded for the evening concert and the people here proved themselves good sports. During one of the numbers we were sur- L_ prised when in a pathetic portion of the Blue Danube a hugh rat ran across the stage in front of us. This in connection with the acrobatic feats of a small child, who turned somersaults in the aisles, added a great deal of hilarity to an otherwise serious selection. Thursday, February 15. With a good night's rest we are off for Portland to give the most important of all our concerts. The Progcssive Business Men's Association in Portland invited us to banquet with them at the Oregon Hotel, which we accepted. Several numbers by both clubs are rendered here, which are loudly applauded. Professor Gaskins delivers an interesting lecture before this body regarding the work at O. A. C. At the postoffice a lot of mail awaited us. which had a most cheerful effect. The swimming pool of the V. M. C. A. was visited by most of the fellows. There was a bunch of frantic fussers here, among whom should Ik mentioned Red Morris, Boddinghousc, Courscn, Ick and Thomas. Our concert was everything that could be expected, the clubs winning all of the favorable comment received. It was found necessary to tic Rutledge and Stambach up to a telephone pole for half an hour after arriving in the city in order to accustom them to street cars. etc. One of the features of the concert was the forcible and somewhat painful detention of the octette on the stage by their inability to open the exit quick enough. Here licfore leaving Portland we find it essential to give the car a course in repairs. Friday. February it . This day was destined to be a day of adventure. Everybody managed to return to the car by 8:.' .0 this morning. Thomas is the last one to arrive. A brown hair is discovered on his coat, which he places in his locket. Rutledge in performing his ablutions gets left in the Union Depot, but comes in safe and lank at Hood River. It was whispered that lie came up on the brakes.” Booth is met at the station in H. R. by a young lady, who manifests great pleasure at seeing him. The details of the meeting are omitted. Cook’s turn conies here and he meets his fate. He is seen promenading the boulevard with one of H«hh1 River’s fairest in his company. Boddinghousc makes a hurried transit over to Washington on some unknown errand, although we have our suspicions as to why he did. Climbing several hundred feet to the H. S. we air our lungs ami the Mandolin Club do the twiddling stunt to the students. They reply with loud and vigorous applause. We surely make a hit here. Especially Ralph R. We sang to a crowded house in the evening and were given a grand reception following the concert. Russel gets stung here for the first time on the trip. A young lady, replying to his request to escort her home, replied: No. thank you. my Jack has shown me several good times and he will be here permanently, while you will Ik here only tonight. Good night.” Dad Olson gets up a reputation as a flirt at the ball. Saturday, February 17. En route to The Dalles, a serpentine at one of the stations and the obtaining of snapshots were the only incidents worthy of mention. Arriving in The Dalles we proceed immediately to take in the city. Williams developed into a terrible fusscr in this town. He' was the star performer, although Prcxv Odcen was a close second. The concert was a hugh success, although the crowd was small. I-ttcr the young ladies entertained “The Mighty Ten.” led bv Williams and some big hits were made. This was indeed a busy night. It should be stated that at the concert Fatty Grub” 1316] quits Odeen in one of their baratone solos in a numlier rendered by the octette, and Odeen stars as a beautiful soloist. Next morning Bodding-house makes a hit in church singing in the choir. In fact he is seen wearing a new band ring. We wonder where he got it. Thomas makes a hit by spending the day in the exchange entertaining the operators. In the evening the Sporty Five” —Koenig. Odeen, Russel. Thomas and Montague —were again entertained by The Dalles' fairest. At the car “Red” Morris is appointed “Chief Bouncer for all who arise late. No one expects to Ik- molested. The watch won! with the Glee Club men (started by Professor Gaskins) is: “Save your necks.” At 11 o’clock P. M. we bid adieu to The Dalles after going down in our pockets for about five dollars apiece for car fare. “ick.” our trombone soloist, bids us good-bye and returns home. Monday, February 19. La Grande is the next place of conquest, and we land there about noon. Refreshing ourselves in the crisp air by a brisk walk about town we go to the H. S. in the afternoon and our numbers arc greeted with loud cheers. Professor Gaskins tells us we can call him Bill if we wish. He is surely a delightful professor and chaperone. Odeen is here given the title of Prime Minister to the King of the Fussers for liis exceptional ability along this line. “The Agonizing Trio gain notoriety by buncoing the porters out of a double desert each meal, by surreptitiously concealing their dishes. A hard feat to perform. Boddiug-housc remarks at this time that he will not dare to wear that ring of his. procured in The Dalles, after he returns to Corvallis. The concert turns out to be one of the best given yet. Here Russel is subjected to another humiliation. At the ball given in our honor a young lady accepts him as her escort home. I-atcr when it comes time to go home she tells him that she doesn’t believe that she knows him well enough to allow him to escort her. Another feature of the evening: A girl remarked to one of the boys: I just think that Bill Gaskins is a dandy fellow.” “Why. that is our professor. said he. She said. Is that so? Well. I don't care.” Tuesday. February 20. W e pull down to the Hot Lake and accept an invitation to spend the day there. At the sanitorium we have a great time—dancing, billiards, pool and bathing. A banquet is tendered us as is also the above named privileges. We give them a matinee and depart for Union. In the evening a special train is run from here to attend our concert. We arrived in Union at dark but Booth was seen to be escorted from the station by a fair companion. Oh you Booth! We have a full house and a good concert. Among the audience is one fellow, an old circus man. who has heard lots of singing. He approaches -Professor Gaskins and exclaims: “Holy howling Hell, how did you get those fellows to sing like that? Mason. Coursen and Boddinghouse take cross country walk Lack to the Hot Lakes that night with three of the passengers up from that place. The porters are heard conversing. Said one: If we don't get many tips, this surely is a jolly bunch.” The other replied that that might Ik- so. but he “couldn’t take dat home to his landlady.” Again, when the porter is interrogated as to what he meant by “skunk time” he replied: You all jes come arouu' heah when my partner takes off his shoes and you will sho find out.” Wednesday, February 21. The next morning we are awakened by Thomas greeting the ( 317 ] porter. He said: Good morning, porter,” when the porter quickly replied: Vo feet spoke first.” At this point the porter proposes passing a towel and water and sponge down the aisle for deodorizing purposes. During the day Morris and Williams organized the famous Amalgamated Alpine Club and work out its various intricacies. Williams is acknowledged to Ik the King of the Jesters. We hit Baker City about noon and were not long in viewing the sights. Here the car was visited by “Octy” and also our famous Ducky.” Ducky goes to I’endleton with us in the evening. The events of this day will not be dwelt upon for want of space. A fairly good-sized audience listened to us in the evening, and by 11 o’clock we were again at the car and some heartrending scenes were enacted by those left behind, when we whirled out of there a few minutes later, a prominent fusscr was heard to remark: I wish we could have remained there all night.” At the theater. I should mention, a score of L'. of O. students (ex) serpentined the aisles and gave their veils before the curtain raised, but were very appreciative listeners. At this time we reduced our eating to two meals a day for different purposes, chiefly because we will get more sleep and also because it is more economical. I wish to place great emphasis on the economical. Thursday, February 22. Washington’s birthday found us in Pendleton. The rain descended steadily all day, which precluded the possibility of much stirring around. Mr. Asbahr visits us here as well as some other former (). A. C. gratis,” including Dcspain, who proved himself a true sport at our reception. Our concert is one of the best yet. An excellent audience was in attendance and later we were given a hall, where we had an opportunity to get acquainted with the people and 11. S. students. Shorty Hand and Williams score a big hit with their naughty ragging” stunt in the Collegiana. We are given a few minutes in which to indulge in college spirit and for a few minutes snappy and lusty yells filled the air. Kussel is captivated by the Pink Lady, but we manage to bring him back to the car. The city of the Round Up is surely a live town. The night before our last concert is hailed with delight. We arc having good times—times not to be beaten, but our sleep is short and far between. So the snores which later emanates from the different l crths are not at all a matter of surprise, although reminding a listener of a frog pond. Friday, February 23. At an early hour we pull out for Heppncr and arrive at Hcppncr Junction at noon. The Sanitary Six take themselves to the banks of the Columbia and there plunge into the blue depths, from which they emerge later very much improved. The national board of censorship forbid me from publishing any of the pictures taken here. Later we wend our serpentine way up this branch line to Heppncr. the town of a former disastrous-flood, traces of which may still be seen. Here the best concert of the whole tour was given. With crowded house the numbers were encored again and again. One number in which the octette figured was encored for the fourth time. It was here the Baritone Cat died. Wc are given a great reception here and have a fine chance of meeting II. S. students, which after all is one of the most important functions of the club. Later when all are in bed the Rooks are duly initiated into the club, this being our last concert. They are taken down to the creek and there they display their ability to pass through the spanking machine unscathed. However, they pass through this ordeal manfully and they were heard to vow vengeance on the Rooks next year at the same place and time. Saturday, February 24. Our concerts being all given, we were given over to relaxation. Wc welcome the opportunity to again return to our friends and duties at O. A. C. At The Dalles Odeen is met by the little Blonde he left l chind a week or so before. Bodding-house is dissappointed, for no one is there to meet him. We wonder how that could be. Still he wears the ring. At one of the stations Ralph R. is observed sending a telegram home which read like this: “Send money to Portland. Am stranded.” Williams, the jester, also sent a message of a similar nature. Russel makes the big hit of the trip on his way to Portland. He says there is no one like his “Volmalita,” whom he met on the train. At Portland we disband and the first tour of the O. A. C. Glee and Mandolin Club is at an end, a success from start to finish. While the success of the trip depended upon the excellent spirit of the boys, still too much importance cannot be attached to the training given the club by our efficient coach. Professor Gaskins. I 31S ] BAND 9 THE ELECTRICAL SHOW HE third annual engineering show was held March 15 and 16. The Student En-M gincer” had charge and certainly lived up to their past reputation, for the show W was without doubt the most interesting as well as the most instructive attraction of the year. The first night the management had the misfortune of being handicapped by inclement weather, which resulted in a small crowd turning out. hut on Saturday night a large number of town people and students visited the show and enjoyed the many interesting points which were to be found on every hand. The exhibits for which the show had become noted were larger this year than before and also many new ones were added. On the Richie testing machine a huge 10x16 timber was subjected to the immense bending pressure of 42,000 pounds before being broken and tests on the Olson Torsion machine attracted attention for half an hour or more. Demonstrations of road testing machines and the making and testing of cement briquettes were items of special interest. A modern railroad about twenty-seven feet long, having cattle guards, bridges, etc., was especially interesting. An electrical blue printing machine which arrived only a few days before the show, and a cast showing the campus in relief, a cavalry sketching case for reconnaissance work in time of hostilities, all added to the excellent display of the civil engineering department. The “Electricals” furnished all the necessary “juice’’ at the college plant for the entire show. Their exhibits were various. There were electrical sewing machines, toasters, oven meters, wireless telegraph, high tension transformers, and many interesting experiments to hold one’s attention and curiosity for hours at a time. The foresters had an exhibit which attracted the attention of those who enjoy camping out. There was a model camp and an artificial horse packed and ready to hit the trail.” A redwood block exhibited was possibly the oldest natural object shown. Front a computation carefully made it was estimated that the tree was al out an inch in diameter when “William the Conqueror” landed in England. The Architectural Club’s exhibit was a new attraction this year, as was the pouring of castings in the foundry. This latter was very well handled by the students of that department. The exhibition and demonstration of the Curtis type biplane and other flying machine types were items of interest to those interested in aerial navigation. Aside from the many attractions of purely scientific interest, the moving pictures, refreshment departments and music by the McGinnis Orchestra were welcome adjuncts. As is well known the “Engineering Show” originated primarily for the purpose of financing the Student Engineer.” but it can be truthfully said that not one person visiting the show will even begrudge the department for the money or time spent at the show.

CLASS OF 11) i SENIOR EXCURSION AY fifteenth, nineteen hundred eleven. Let your fancy take you to the C. E. depot at a little before C on this particular morning. All was hustle and excitement as the eleven coaches of the unlimited 1911 special hacked in on the main track with the engine headed toward Newport. Men with lunch boxes and girls with umbrellas were hurrying to and fro. Larry Keene and Red Carlson carried a clothes basket filled with lunch for the day's excursion into the smoking car. Atchison and Boulan followed, each with an armful of rough-neck sweaters which the girls had insisted upon having. The girls and the rest of the party came up out of breath, and pushed into the smoker, determined to reserve that as a special car for their crowd. Calef and Asbahr had some heated arguments with the railroad officials before the rear coach was opened. They finally won and a little later were found, and not alone, monopolizing the rear platform. With Mr. Bouquet's assistance they awakened the echoes and natives with minstrel songs. Mrs. Crayne and the fifteen official chaperons paced back and forth to make sure all was going well. They were steeled for a busy day. “Rah, Rah. Rah, Rah. Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Newport!” “Hooray, we’re off!” Every car was filled with happy, hilarious youths and maidens bent on making this the grand holiday. Lunn, Hawley and Company were the only quiet ones in the second coach—they were winning the good will of the chapereons. In the smoking car wonderful and fearful card games were played. People in the car next were wishing for Johnny Welles to quell the riot. Somewhere in one of the middle coaches Cv Young and .Monk Loosley were trying to assume the air of confirmed fussers. Trax and Elmer Chapman were found discussing the latest modes of hair dressing and Paris gowns with two young ladies. Toledo was safely reached and the chapcrcons had been unable to get a count of their respective charges. The beaux, and others, who had been worried about having the chap ercon’s watchful eye forever upon them, began to breathe easier. At Yaquina Bay the steamer Newport was waiting to save us the swim across the bay to the scene of the day’s festivity. Fifteen minutes after reaching the wharf dock the streets were empty. The late arrivals had scattered to cat lunch. Shrimp Reynolds hurried to a shop and bought seven of the largest crabs on the market. It seems he had to provide refreshment for his brother and the'“Rookess.” « Every form of amusement was in progress from skipping rope to playing in the sand. Strolling was the most popular pastime. Youth and beauty passed in twos and larger groups, all radiating happiness. All sorts of rocks and shells were picked up for souvenirs, and many went up through the wet brush for rhododendrons. Nearly all made excursions to the life-saving station and through Lover’s Lane or around the cliffs back to Newport. A few went out to the lighthouse. It may have been unusual but ’tis true, it rained some during the day. The rain wet you and the sun dried you. Whether you were wet or dry when you reached the good ship Newport depended upon which way you returned front the life-saving station. At 6 o’clock the gay throng gathered at the dock wharf and steamed across the bay to the waiting train. It was a quiet but contented crowd that reached Corvallis at 10 P. M. The chapereons were so weary and footsore that an ambulance was called to convey them to their respective homes. “Arc we happy?” and “Yea, ho!” echoed and reechoed across the campus as the excursionists separated for the night.

I 326 ] MATRIMONIAL BUREAU Dearest Editor: Sonic of my girl friends have told me that you were a prophet of love affairs, so 1 am writing to you in hopes that you can tell me a way out of my troubles. This is my first year at college and all the boys have asked me to go places with them, but 1 didn't know if it were proper for me to accept their offers while 1 was a freshman or not. I was always taught at home not to go out with strange boys and so have been very careful not to here, although they have begged me to do so. So please tell me what I should do, because I just love to go with the l oys. And do you think it is right to become engaged during your first year at school? There has been five young men who have tried to get me to wear their Frat pins or their diamond rings. One of them works in a drug store and while he treats me nice and calls me all the sweetest names one jxissibly could. 1 don’t believe drug clerks always support their wives as I would want to he. Another one of them plays football and they said that he had an attack of love sickness during football season, and 1 know it must have been over me. l ie has a dandy Frat pin and I almost took it when lie offered it to me. only I knew it wasn't right too. Of course Stubby Carroll is one of the boys I have in mind, but they tell me that he docs the same thing to every new girl that comes to college. Please tell me what to do. kind editor. If it is proper to become engaged now I am sure I could get quite a collection of Frat pins; 1 must have a man who will give his whole attention and all his money to me and will not object when I sometimes go out with another boy. I have heard that editors usually traveled a good deal and lived in high society. If they do. you might sjicak for yourself. In haste. MISS KETCH I'M. Miss Kctchum: I believe the society of young men is one of the best educators there arc and a nice collection of Frat pins is relished by even the most bashful young ladies. Beware of that Car-roll boy, though, as I have heard that he is a trifler and very fickle. And don’t marry for money, for that is the worst possible thing you could do. I believe from the tone of your letter that you would make an ideal wife for a young rancher. EDITOR. Dear Editor: I have read lots of your advice and know it to be of the best, so I am writing to you to sec if you could help. I am not like most of the girls who can't decide which boy they like best, but I have been going with a young man for about a year and he has asked me to be his soul mate. I like him because he is big and strong and takes me lots of places, lie is captain of the wrestling team, too. But I don’t know if he wants to marry me for love or not, because I heard his father sav his brother and he that the one who was married first would get three hundred and twenty acres of the best land in the valley. Tell me, kind editor, do you think he wants to marry me for love or just to get the land before his brother does? I would like to live on a farm, though. Tenderly, MADGE. Friend Madge: Love is a very funny thing and so is the young man, for they arc both liable to fail you at any time. I would advise you to marry him. though, as land in this valley is more valuable than all the young men, and once you began to live on it and have a few chickens and cows your happiness will know no Imunds, and his love will increase in due time. EDITOR. I 328 ] “Lot v is a gem that product's near-sightedness—Fred Ply nip toil. Friend Editor: I am writing to you because I know you will sympathize with me, as I have heard that you have a kind heart. I have spent wakeful nights and sleepy days trying to decide upon a soul mate, and you with your vast experience with people can surely enlighten me and tell me what I should do. There arc four young men who I would gladly give my heart and hand if 1 could just decide upon which one really loves me most. Allan used to come down quite often and brought boxes of candy and flowers and was always taking my picture. Hut I guess he does the same thing to all of the girls that he goes with. But if he didn't care for me he wouldn’t spend his money and time on me. Johnny Raker always wants to take me to the moving picture shows and to Howes. I know he likes me, because he came right out and told me so, but then he might l� c in the habit of doing that, as 1 have heard of such things. Rut I know if he should be the one that I choose for my guiding light that he would always show me a good time. Snap is awful nice to me and conics down to see me when Jimmie or some of the other boys are not here. And every time Jimmie goes out of town he always secs that I am not neglected any. And if I was to marry him he could play on his cornet to me and I just love to hear him play. Hut Jimmie is such a nice Mann and he says that he just adores blonde hair. He stayed down to Corvallis two weeks after school was out last spring, too, just to see me, and there are not many young men who would do that. Hut when any of my girl friends come down to see me lie always takes them out to the dances and shows and says that he is showing them a good time for my sake, but if he married me he might do that then, and it wouldn’t be so nice, because 1 would be left at home. Snap always takes me now when such a thing happens, but lie wouldn’t he around to then. Please, Mr. Editor, decide for me or give me some information that would lead me to choose the one that would make the l est mate for me. Oh, yes, one of the boys told me that Jimmie was thinking of giving me his Frat pin. and that might have some influence over your choice. With hopes for the best, LEOXA A. Kind Friend: After reading your letter I have come to the conclusion that there are too many young men entering into your life ami I would advise you to start a systematic search to find which one of them has the fondest affections for you. This could he done by copying all of their conversation down and then reading it afterwards when your brain is clear and not under the influences of any eloquence of language, which I am fully aware the young men in question are capable of. If this method does not cause you to decide upon one of the four, place their names upon a piece of paper and place the papers in a hat and draw for one of them. If I was doing it myself, though, I would take the hat. because none of the four you have mentioned amount to much in our eyes. Yours for a happv wedding, EDITOR. Kind Editor: You will no doubt be surprised to hear from any person except those belonging to the feminine sex. but I know a min holding the position you do will not reveal the contents of this letter. As I am in dire straits I am led to do this as a last resort to end my unhappy love troubles. This is my last year in school, ar.d in all of my time here 1 have not been able to find a young lady who would kecu company with me for more tlnn a month at a time. Can there he anything the matter with my appearance or actions that would cause them to spurn me? I always dress as neat as possible and talk as they will listen to me. 1 aiso have a very high rank in the cadet regiment and some of the girls really told me that I looked rjuitc dignified when 1 wear my uniform. I used to he as jolly around my friends as I could, hut one of them told me that 1 was too silly, and since then 1 have been trying to be as dignified and serious as I can. In closing I ask you to tell me what I can do to make the girls love me more than they do. In soothe docs my beating heart cry out for the love and caresses of just one fair co-ed for at least more than two full moons. _ _ It is in dismay that I think of leading a lonely life of bachelorhood. Unhappily. STUBBY CARROLL. I 329 1 Sid Boddinshousc— I certainly do like to sins” Friend Mr. Carroll: I turned your letter over to the office- force and they said that a young man as good looking as yon are, who had as fine appearance as you have and has as many friends as you possess and carries himself in such a military and dignified manner, was certainly-playing in hard luck when he could not enrapture the heart of a young damsel for more than a month at a time. The stenographer said if you would only-wear a pompadour you would be too sweet for anything.—Editor. Dear Mr. Editor: I know it is awful to write to you concerning my love troubles, but I just can't stand the awful suspense any longer. I have worried the last few months until I have lost four pounds in weight the last week. I have several friends and they are all so nice and kind to me that I. with my inexperience, cannot decide which one I care the most for. One of them is a stately young man and is an athlete who can run awful fast when he is on the athletic field, and 1 am positive he likes me lu-cause he always wants to take me different places and calls me up on the telephone and talks to me for the longest time. I have another reason to believe that he cares a whole lot for me, too, and that is because he told the boys over at his fraternity house that he would never dance with me again, hut the first dance I went to he asked me for five dances. He gets angry with me though when lie secs me with any of the other boys and might be a jealous hush-tnd. He talks so fast sometimes that lie gets bis native tongue mixed in with his English and I can hardly under-stand him. One of my other admirers comes from the same town that I do. and if I married him I would not have to move away from home, and besides he is an awful cute bov and trerts me just fine. He takes me down to the ice cream parlors almost once a week and we sometimes stay there and talk for almost half of an hour. He says that he would die for me if I would only say that I cared for him, and I just can hardly resist his pleadings. So please decide for me. Mr. Editor, for I have only one more year in school and just hate the thought of being an old maid, which I surely will be if I don't decide before long. In distress. GERTRUDE W. Friend Gertrude: In reading your letter the one thing that impressed me most was the absolute sincerity in which your love seems to he enwrapped. You have made no mistake in that as sincerity is. above all things, needed to make love a complete riddle. I notice from your letter that one of your friend is an athlete and a runner. I would advise you to drop him at once as he would rather run after other people's girls than run races. It would lie nice if you could marry that young man from your home town, hut a change of air and location might do you good. Icc cream never should buy your love, as it is a rather cold article to trade for the warm love of one’s heart.— Editor.

I remember one hot June afternoon when I was a little child and had been going to school only since April, so that I was not yet used to being away from my mother. The day was very warm, and my little lunch liaskct was a burden as I stumbled along over the road that seemed to stretch intcrminahly ahead of me, radiating dusty gray heat, between the wheat fields and tall red clover tops. Suddenly the feeling came over me that I should never, never reach home. I hid my face in my arm. and I can feel now the hot wet tears through the little gingham dress sleeve. Then my basket was taken from me. and my hand clasped light by one larger and stronger. I looked up. to find one of the older boys of the school smiling down at me. Please don’t cry.” he said. “You have such a pretty smile.” After that the road did not seem so long, nor the day so hot; and when I reached home and found the door locked and mother gone to town. 1 did not care, because the kind big boy sat on the doorstep with me until mother eante back. Now I am a woman grown. Sometimes it seems as though the heat of the struggle to accomplish something in this world would overpower me. Life’s road stretches interminable, dreary, vibrant with heat and white with dust, before me. The burden of cares and responsibilities weighs heavy, and I falter and stumble. Though I try to be brave, sometimes the tears will come. I long to turn and hide my face on some sheltering arm and sob out my grief and weariness, but I must plod on to the end. The friendly big boy? lie is journeying another road, one I cannot even see. But possibly his. too. is a long, hot, weary road, and (icrhaps for the sake of the companionship, he would like to take my burden of cares from me and carry it; would joy in the comfort he could give by the clasp of his strong, brown hand on mine, which is weaker and so much less competent. How I should like to hear him say. Please don’t cry. little woman. You have such a pretty smile.” The rigid would be short then, and we would Unger hv the way, gathering the daisies, the clovers and grasses, and telling each other the many things we thought about then. Hut. though the way is long, and I am going alone, this I know: that when at last I reach home the door will lie wide open, and mother will be there awaiting me. And perhaps that kind big boy will lie there too. Who knows?

Head the poetic gem and you won’t be surprised that the stamp got discouraged. Your particular attention is called to the rhyme, meter and sentiment: “New thoughts ami dreams of you. my pretty maid. Are with me now; And if old ones, just flitted by, had stayed. I'd tell you how 1 love you. But even though I have such pretty dreams. Now day by day; And burn as true as the star that gleams In its own way. About you— You’ve turned me down and flitted by— To you my all I gave; I know that now I’ll surely die And you’ll fly o’er my grave, • You dove you. Murphy (in Chetn.)—Would this do me any harm if I ate it? I’rof. Brodic—No, and no particular good except to kill you. DEDICATED TO ’’ARIZONA BILL” Don’t study when you’re weary, for that will never do; Don’t study when you’re happy, lest it may make you blue; Don’t study in the daytime, don’t study in the night— But study at all other times, with all your main and might. We herewith present a few interesting clippings, collected and coagulated at great expense from the columns of sonic of our great metropolitan dailies: La Grande Morning Snort,” March i, 1912: Traveling with the O. A. C. Glee Club, which appears it the Opera House next week, is Mr. llarvey l-antr. one of the younger generation of La Grande citizens, who is making a name for himself in musical circles. Harvey states that on account of his sweet baritone voice he has been chosen for solo work, making a noise like a trombone in the Dutch Band piece, and imitating a dog in another of the clever numbers given by the club. The Snort is glad to extend its felicitations to our young friend. Pasadena (Cal.) Daily News. October 30. 1911: Mr. Mike” Hayes, now at the Oregon Agricultural College, writes to friends that lie has been called upon to fill the Chair of Professor of Aquatics and Natatorial Kducatiou at that institution. He is eminently qualified socially and physically to assume his new duties. Collins Hot Springs (Wash.) “Sun. October 12, 1911: Mr. Bud” Young has attained great promi- nence at O. A. C., where he is a sophomore. He writes that he has been able, after grcit efforts, to get his name in the Barometer, the college bi-weekly. He does not state the reason for his jump into the limelight, but intimates that it was in connection with a canoeing accident on the river. We are glad to sec that our popular young townsman is pressing to the fore. Good work, Bud. Santa Ana (Cal.) “Slam,” December 17. 1911: Again a Santa Ana lad has pressed to the front. Albert Hansen writes as follows: •••••• Jf 1 had not accidentally dropped my gun in the recent com- petitive drill I should have certainly won everything in sight, as I am about the best soldier in the regiment. Of course, such accidents arc unavoidable, but it seemed to prejudice the judge against me........... Stick to it. Alfred, right will conquer.
