given by the churches to the faculty and students, on the iirst Friday THE NORM Sophomore s, you re rather wise, we ken But oh, you Freshmen. Sophomores. The first meeting of the Sophomore class was called In October for the purpose of Olganizing.

M1. Bogynska plays the bass horn, and Mr. Gentle the comet. The showy colors ,Ared and black, were chosen for class colors. 1 It seems that they are very fashionable among the classes as seve1 a1 wanted them, especially the Seniors. The members of the Sophomore class consider themselves as greet- ly honored in having With them a. student who is capable of great things. They think that anyone who can produce such things as a verse for ttMy Oregon is doing well. We are proud of Miss Neely. Although the Sophomores are small in numbers they are mighty in class spirit, which will be proved to other classes before the term is' over. The opening event of the Normal was the basket dinner on the. campus. The ladies of Monmouth prov1ded a bountiful lunch for the . guests and students. Immediately after lunch all repaired to the Chapel where they listened to a number of e11thusiastic addresses. Among those who spokeE were: President Aokerman, Senator M. A. Miller, of Lebanon, Col Hofer, of Salem, E. F. Carleton, Assistant Superintendent of Publish Instruction, P1eside11t W. J. Kerr, of Cor- vallis, Plof. E.

THE LNORLVI iced the second week of the school year. '1 he following ofiieers were elected: Beulah Hesse, president; Rhea BGDSODfViCC president; Mar- garet M :Gulloch, secretary; Edna, Condon, treasurer, and Mary Kelly, class edi tor. . . 1 ' Purple and gold were ehoSen as class colors' The Senior proposes, but the Junior disposes. This fact was em- phatically and undeniably proved last Friday evening, November 3d, when the Juniors made a complete get-a-way with the elegantly equ1pped vehicle which the Seniors had hired for their moonlight ride. The Junionparty held Saturday evening, November 4th, at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Ostien, wws one of the most enfoyable informal affairs of the season. Among the guests were: Mrs. Aekerman, Miss Wilcox and Miss Ewing. The maidens of the Junior bunch, Who in the bright November weather Got the rack, but not the lunch, Are now in need of new shoe leather. The Juniors had their tivala Drnyfi But the Seniors now are blue, To them the teamster came to say, For hire of rack the bill is due. F sthmen- He1e we are, thL Freshmen. Rah! Rah! Rah! , Although you may consider us as the last in the line of learning, we are not the last in ability. Just wait till we fulfill our plans. '1 here are things doing among the Freshmen Thus far we have not devoted any of our time to either literary or social work but the past in this instance is not a. criterion of the fu- tuIe ' On 'Oetober 10, 1911, the Freshmen proper extended an invitation to the Suyb-Freshmen to join them; The Sub-Freshmen gladly ac- cepted this invitation and both classes are now working together un- der the following ofiicers: Amy Pechin, president; Gladys Parker, vice president; Osie Grice, secretary; John Bogynske tretsurer, and F.M.Stu1gill, se1geant-at-arms. y 1 Sample of Freshmen ability: Mr. Sturgill secured fifty subscrip-- - - tions to 11The Norm, in two and 01ie-h.11f hours. The colors of this class, 11151: islgoinjg to make the Oiegon' Nor- mal famous, are old rose and green, and the class motto is HThrough Trials t0 Gloryf but the moral of all this is, if y011 want 1 thing re- ally done, get a Freshman. 0 ye JuniOIS! We think it was a sin that you Should p10w1 around and butt 1n.

THE NORM after school Opened. Addresses of welcome were given by. different citizens to which members of the faculty responded. The remainder of the evening was spent informally.

The Normal So'ciety entertained the faculty, students and nther guests at an informal dancing party in the gy111., October 28th. A very enjoyable evening was spent by 1111, and it is hoped that this will be but the fnst of many similar oncasions. On Hallowe en night a party of students, occompanied by Miss Parrot, Mr. Beaumont and Miss G1 ace Davis, wended their 11 ay t0 tiCupidls Knoll. They presented a very wierd and ghostly appear- ance. Having r111'1ved on the ttKnoll, ll 3 large bonfire was soon bright- ly burning. Games were plaied and the ttspooks i left their ethereal habits long enough to indulge 1n apples and nuts. A11, excepting Mr. Beaumont, went home feeling better for the evening's enjoyment. He felt rather sad as he had lost a very valuable eap-but his counte- nance was transfmmed when the next morning at chapel, he was ple- sented with another as nearly like the old one as could be 0bt1i11ed.
