Qllampus Bay Monday, April the third, was Campus clay. Eight-thirty in the morning found all students ready for work with their farm implements over their shoulders. There were ten corporals with their army of workers. Some made flower gardens, planted shrubs and trees, while others raked and cleaned. All worked with the ultimate end in view of beautifying the campus. At the end of the day's work a great im- provement could be seen- At noon there was a quick response to the lunch bell. The Domestic Science girls had been busy all mornin'f. preparing a tasty meal for the hungry workers. VVork was resumed again for a couple of hours after lunch and then the rest of the after- .n'oon was spent in games and sports. All is well that enils well.

. credit to Lewis 1-Iall's reputation for good things to eat. After return- ing to the drawing room, music and games were continued until the guests discovered that the hour was late and their departure necessary. The comments made by the guests proved to the hostess, Mrs. Baker. and her assistants, that the evening had been a success and it also proved that the masculine element is a superfluous quantity when the Normal girls determine to have a good time without them. Qtbletic Qfbening The gymnasium was a scene of rollicking merriment among the faculty and students, Friday evening Mrch 10, when indoor sports were the merry amusements. The evening was begun with a gay grand march, led by Mrs. Baker and Mr. 'Wooster, in which charming caps of purple and white were dropped from the running track above, and were secured by the guests to adorn their hair. The march ended in an indoor baseball game between the men and women students, which was followed by a contest between a picked team from the faculty and students. Other amusements consisted of yacht racing, potato racing. serpentine racing and several fothcrs, boxing and a number of contests among various picked teams. The evening ended with dancing. Re- freshing punch and cake were served. wlasbingtonk Eirtbhap Reception A very pretty reception was given to faculty and students, at Lewis iiall, February 22. Those receiving were.

The guests were served in the dining room where the lights were softly shaded in red, and -red-shaded tapers burned on the tables. The refreshments carried out the colonial color scheme most temptingly and daintily with red and white ices, blue mints and tiny cakes cut in the form of hatchets. One of the distinctive features of the afternoon's adherence to things colonial was the students' reception committee composed of sixteen young ladies in colonial costume. The UH. of il. Glee Qtluh The appearance of the University of Idaho Glee Club at the Temple theatre Friday, February the twenty-fifth, was one of the pleasantest social events of the season.

Jlftatmntnell Recital A just tribute was paid to Edgar Alexander MacDowell, our greatest American composer of music, when Miss M. Edith Jones, instructor in piano, presented Miss Aida I.eQuime on Thursday, March 16, in a program of MacDowe1l selections. The recital was held before a large and enthusiastic audience of Lewiston music lovers, in the Assembly Hall of the State Normal. Misa LeQuime was assisted by Miss Olwen Jones at the second piano. Miss M. Edith jones also sang MacDowell compositions. The program was as follows: I. Concerto A-Minor Miss LeQuime, Miss Olwen Jones II' The Swan Bent Low The Clover The Blue Rell Miss M. Edith Jones III. Sonata Tragica Vost Wagon To the Sea Dance-Andalouse 'lhe Fisherman's Cottage In Mid-ocean . ..... Miss Le Quime. The entire performance was marked by a finish in technique and interpretation which proves jones an instructor of whom Lewiston may wfell be proud- Miss Le Quime was versatile in her artistic ability, being able to well present moods both grave and gay, and expressing many different kinds of emotion from tragic soul struggle to the most delicate elfin fancies. Regardless of her powerful rendition of such selections as Sonata Tragica, and Dance-Andalouse, she won the most decided response from her audience in her number which interpreted the ocean. - Inexorable! Thou straight line of eternal fate That ring'st the world Wliilst on thy morning breast We play our puny parts And reckon us immortal! This majestic theme was indeed one which held the audience en- thralled, and which commanded the keenest appreciation. Edgar Alexander MacDow'ell died in 1908 in his early forties, but his love of life, nature, and mankind will iive forever in our country, perpetuated in his music. He founded at Peterboro, New liampshire, the MacDowell Institute for all creative artists, whether music, painting, literature, or drama might be their themes. Thus at the cheap rate of one dollar a day. men and wom-en live in a beautiful environment, away from the busy whirl, where they may come in close contact i- - eh Iiature and thus gain inspiration and strength to perform their work. Lewiston State Normal is glad to have had the opportunity of hearing advantageously the creation of such a broadminded musical genius.
