Every year the Freshmen challenge the three upper classes to write songs, the words and music being original With members of the class. This song thus composed must be rendered by the Whole class, and the one Winning is presented With a large pennant furnished by the Freshmen. This year the Sdphomores took the pennant with one of the best songs that has ever been given. The Freshmen did themselves proud in the management of the contest this year. The pennant Which they gave was an elegant one, and the decorations in the chapel were magnificent. Little and Russel, members of the class, had charge of the decorating. The Freshmen themselves were a close second to the Sophomores in the contest. The quality of the songs composed for these contests is excellent and Willamette is thus getting a large number of college songs Which are distinctly her own. No doubt a Willamette song book Will be published before many years. THE CHAPEL DECORATED FOR GLEE

I country. The Royal Personage herself is not Visible. But presently, when the crowd has reassembled near the dias, ti herald approaches proclaiming her coming forth. Her Highhess'is preceded by the high grandees 0f the realm, and surrounded by the ladies in waltmg. The little pages and the eourtiers complete the retinue. The stately procession Winds across the unshiny turf t0 the platform. Here, 'after the men and maids sing the beautiful HQueen of May? Her Majesty is solemnly crowned t0 the satisfaction of. the areh-bishop and camera people.

Here the boys follow intently the track per- formers, commenting superiorly 0n the distances and records, While the girls compare manicuring and dates for the evening event. Immediately that the track meet, With its glorious victory or manifestly unfair defeat, is over, the tug-of-war across the mill race becomes the attraction. This is always exciting, especially if the opponents, Freshmen and Sophs, be well pitted. Hoots and hisses, shrieks and sarcasm fill the air and urge 0n the strugglers. The losing side is pulled in or ducked, and the class yell ascends some i fifteen feet in air. , While the noble heroes are hanging themselves up to dry, the crowd quickly disperses, for they just have time to smile .at' a; morsel 1- ;oif bread and then make the final splurge. Everybody goes to the Opera House, to see that'famous, long talked of Junior Play.
