Last year a hiking club, which a membership of seventy-live enjoyed their Saturday afternoons exploring various points of interest in this valley. One of the memorable trips was the boating excursion to an old placer mine on Jawbone bar down the Snake river. This year quite a number have enjoyed their early morning hikes. The swimming tank which is l7x39x9Mx9 feet was enameled last tall entirely in white. It has three overflows at various heights, and the water is heated to a delightful temperature. Chloride of lime iS used to make it antiseptic. Last winter interest ran high in boxing and wrestling for the boys. A club was organized which met twice a week under the instruction of Professor Reed. Those proving more adept in this art were Bollinger and Flock. Some interesting work was given one even- ing by the club for the enjoyment of the students and the faculty. The basketball team practiced faithfully but few games were scheduled. A keen interest and enjoyment was evinced on the part of every boy in the school. The boys have spent most of their time on the campus this spring with their bats and balls, discus, shot, and hammer. The May Festival last year ended the year for certain phases of the gym work. This was held in connection with the Lewiston Rose Fair by invitation from the president of the association. Forty little children of our Training school department costumed to represent certain flowers comprised a flower garden float in a pageant parade which ended in the city park. After the crowning of the May queen, the scattering of the garlands, and the presenting of May baskets about the throne the program for the afternoon began. The little children rendered a little German dance called Hansel and Gretel and gave a couple from the Posey Garden in which the little modest, constant Pussy Willows, with their snug grey hoods and dresses opened the entertainment. Several pairs of beautiful butterflies sipped and dipped about during the butterfly song. In turn came the Sweet Pea dance, the Poppy dance, and Marguerite dance in appropriate cos- tumes daintily done by little six-year-olds. The little boys, as little knights with their shoulder capes and plumed hats. In rapid succession came the remaining grades of the Training school costumed in Swedish, Danish, or Indian costume as the case might be. The Normal girls gave a beautiful group of Spanish and Dutch dances. One of the most spectacular was the Willow Wand Rose drill and the May Pole dance. One of the most enjoyable social events of the year was the Athletic Evening given in the gymnasium on a Friday evening in March. Will those who saw ever forget the Football Game, between Mrs. llaker, Mr. Coon, Miss Mix and Mr. llolliuger? The real game is difficult to play but how much more difficult it is to attempt to blow an egg through two goal posts when you have an opponent blowing it hack. Then there were the two baseball games, First-Girls vs. Boysg second--Mixed students vs. Mixed faculty. Other events of the evening were: Yacht race, Serpentine relay, jav- elin throw, three shots at the nigger baby, Three-Legged race, and Potato relay. The party broke up at a late hour after the many mirth-provoking events had been enjoyed by all.
