Hear College Facully
Mrs. Edna Dunbar Moser spoke Barbara Jane Wood Bemice Holsclgw Georqe Thoma'S Dixon Miyuachi -recently before a large group of
Portland business women at
their annual dinner, telling
them of experiences iri Africa.
'Later she made a f;imilar talk
over KEX radio station. Mr. Er
nest Moser talked last week at a
luncheon meeting of the Portland
Woman's club. In her prize-winning oration,
"They Walk with God", which
Miss Barbara Jane Wood Lin
field college senior, presented at
the inter-collegiat!! fellowship
during Spiritual Eij}phasis week,
she told of the heroic death of
four chaplains, who, while their
ship was sinking, ga·te their life
rafts to four soldiers. '£he yoang
est of the chaplains was Miss
Wood's cousin, and son of Daniel
Poling, former World President
of Christian Endeavor.
A graduate of Jefferson high
school, Miss Wood studied dra
matics under Miss Nina Great
house, who taught there before
coming to Lewis and Clark. Her
father, Mr. Walter Wood, teaches
science at Jefferson.
· She attended Albany college in
Portland for . one semester, and
speaking of our new campus ex
claimed, "It's beautiful! I want
to come back again soon. Every
one is so friendly and kind."
A sociology major, Miss Wood
plans to enter the field of Chris
tian education. . She is president
of Sigma Kappa Phi sorority and
belongs to Cap and Gown, senior
women's honorary, as well as
dramatics, forensic and social
science honoraries. She was ves
per chairman of Linfield's Re
ligious Emphasis week.
Having won the State Peace
Oratorical contest, Miss Wood
told excitedly of her plans to
leave for Pepperdine college in
Los Angeles to compele in the
regional contest held there.
At the request of many who
heard her, Miss Wood consented
to send a copy of her stirring or
ation to the campus so that cop
ies can be made available for all. The real solution for the prob
lems of racial difference lies in a
complete change of attitude or
"a change of heart", according
to Mrs. Bernice Holsclaw, who
was on the campus during Spirit
ual Emphasis week. However,
Mrs. Holsclaw said she believed
the type of meeting held while
she was here was of great value
in that it consisted of doing
things with people of other rlaces
as well as discussing the existing
problems.
Mrs. Holsclaw is the leader of
an inter-racial, inter-denomin
ational youth choir in Portland,
and judging from the enthusiasm
with which the students partici
pated in the fireside sing on .the
campus, she is a very talented
and competent leader.
Racial Problems Studled
Students wishing to participate
in activities for increasing co
o p e r a t
i o n and understanding
among races have met recently
on the campus, and are planning
some educational programs, in
cluding bringing a well-known
speaker to the college. Any stu
dent desiring to help in this ac
tivity or to have further informa
tion should see Mr. Ernest Mo-
ser. ..
Red Cross Goal Topped
Students and faculty went
more than $100 over their com
bined goal of $180 in the campus
Red Cross drive last month.
Jacqueline Sherbert, commit
tee chairman, reported $106 con
tributed by students, and Dr.
Harriet Sl'I)ith, faculty representa
tive collected $174.50.

~IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIniiU~ "I like the name 'Spiritual
Emphasis week'," said Mr. George
Thomas from the Council of
Churches at the discussion he
led Tuesday on "World Brother
hood". Mr. Thomas believes that
the idea of such a week could
be carried out successfully on
all campuses if , the students
themselves handled the arrange
ments with a minimum of con
trol by the faculty, and current
topics could be featured from
the Christian aspect. This method
would keep the students inter
ested • because it would be their
week.
Mr. Thomas also suggested the
possibility of setting aside three
days for concentrated thought on
"spiritual emphasis". During this
time no classes would be held
since \ this would allow t i m e
enough to go in~o subjects more
thoroughly and credits might be
given for attendance at the con
ferences and reports of them.
He reported that ,.such plans are.
used on small campuses back
east.
Mr. Thomas is vitally inter
ested in the racial problem . He
expressed the belief that we
should all remember "love thy
neighbor as thyself" since this
w o u l d undoubtedly lead to
friendlier relations between peo
ple of different colors. "Get to
know better someone of a dif
ferent race," advised Mr. Thom
as, "for trouble arises between
races only because of lack of un
derstanding." To those interest
ed in social work among· the
races, he said that you must be
dedicated to your work, must not
be easily discouraged, and you
must have self esteem, that is,
belief in God, belief in your
self, belief in your fellow man
and belief in doing your job
well.
There is a Chatterbox posted

thing to publish, so come on ·

C91-ry On Fine T1·aditions
My first acquaintance with Lewis and Clark college was
in connection with the May Day program in 1942 when I
visited the college prior to taking office as president. The
Queen and the court were gracious enough to make me a
Knight of the Rose, which was a delightful experience.
I am sure Queen Gloria and her court will carry on the
fine traditions which have been set up in connection with
May Day, so that the interests of our beloved college are
well advanced . Congratulations and best wishes for a gener:
ous and pleasant reign.
Morgan S. Odell,
President.
Congratulations to Queen and Court
Congratulations to Queen Gloria I and her court of lovely
maidens! Few sights are more beautiful than the May Day·
fete which is re-enacted each year on our wonderful Lewis
and Clark campus. We anticipate the festivities of the occa
sion and join with the entire admiring audience in a salute
to the lovely queen and her charming court. We wish for
them years of happiness!
Sparle' s Parle
May day was inaugurated on
the Albany campus in 1909 with
Miss Willetta Wright as Queen
with four attendants and the stud
ent body president acting as
prime ministe1 ·. The Queen's
dress was of all-over embroidery
and lace, made with a full skirt
down to her toes and wide revers.
The crown was of white forget
me-nots gathered on the campus
and the gowns of the attendants
were burdened with tucks of
shirring and high collars.
In the 30s the court consisted
of the Queen, maid of honor and
eight attendants with the coron
ation ceremony held under a
large oak tree. The velvet robe
was presented to Queen Marjorie
I by Alpha Gamma in 1930.
Our present system of May
Queen election started after the
college moved to Portland in 1938.
The impressive coronation c~re
mony is held on the terrace of
the Women's building where the
Queen knights an outstanding
student and faculty member with
a rose.
The traditional winding of the
Maypole is performed by Sigma
Rho and a luncheon in honor of
the Queen is given by Alpha
Gamma. The climax of the day's
festivities is the Queen's ball in
the evening.

Book Review~
BLACK BOY, by Richard
Wright, 1937. Harper & Brothers,
N.Y. 228 pp.
A 'must' for the reading list of
every citizen interested in race
relations is the recent Book-of
the-Mont h club selection, "Black
Boy" by Richard Wright, in which
he tells the pathetic and almost
too realistic story of his own boy
hood, a story which should make
every American determined that
the conditions which marred
Wright's youth must not be al
lowed to continue in our country
of "freedom, equality and oppor
tunity."
Mr. Wright paints his boyhood
scenes with such· pathos and viv
idness that the reader can almost
feel the strife and bitterness that
he, a southern Negra, felt against
the white man, and the promise
that the North held for him.
The book is short and easy to
read, but leaves one with the
impression of being incomplete.
The reader is anxious to hear of
his experiences after reaching
Chicago which led to his becom
ing the successful and respected
writer he is today.
"Black Boy" is not a pleasant
story, but it's a revealing one
which should give every Ameri
can a greater understanding of
the southern Negro.
CHIN A TO ME by Emily Hahn
The author of THE SOONG
SISTERS tells how she happened
to write them up and how she
happened to do quite a number
of less conventional and more
exciting things in China about
that time. A style which was
stilted and often awkward in bio
graphy becomes bright and fresh
in autobiography, as she jaunts
about the country and in and
out of men's lives.
SENIOR ASSEMBLY PLANNED

gram to be presented next Fri

Alum Chums
By Margaret Carol Beede
The recent sale of the Kamm
property on West 14th, between
Salmon and Main streets in Port
land, brings to mind a wonder
ful May Day in 1940 at the graci
ous old estate, where students of
Albany college celebrated their
traditional festival.
Under pale May. sunshine the
venerable grounds beckoned in
welcome to the excited celeb
rants, some of whom stood by
watching the erection of a high
flower-deck _ed throne majestical
ly arranged beneath the towering
redwoods , while others ran forth
and back in pursuance of loud
speaker equipment, an extra car
nation to fit into the ·throne, a
lost x:ecord or a message of great
import. And many ran just to
be running. The somewhat cold
air caused many faces to lift to-... ward the sky with pleading look
and anxious thought.
Time brought the guests happy
and eager to be seated along .the
wide aisle leading to the throne.
Music played over the P. A.; a
breeze stirred the tops of the
trees, lifted the fragrance of blos
soms and the sun smiled on the
people; excited whispers winged
through the groups of students
who stood nearby ~ and then
came the court!
Like delicate blossoms their
pastel gowns swayed gently as
·the si~ attendants approchad the
throne and awaited HER GRACI
OUS MAJESTY. The Queen's
arm bouquet of roses sweetly
contrasted with the petite colo
nial May Pole dance. The Queen
smiled.
Who were the principles .of
thiS beautiful pageant? They
were--as are each year's royal
groups--the choices of their stu
dent body and classes. Their
years at Albany college earn for
them the position of Lewis and
Clark Alums and here they are:
Queen, Betty Doran, Class of
1940.
Crown Princess, Norma Rud
·dock, Class of 1941.
Crown Princess, Elaine Dahl,

To be involved in a traffic acci
dent one night, and play a solo
with a symphony orchestra the
next is not the average girl's idea
of the way things should happen.
But no one who heard Margaret
Say, violinist, play the solo as
signment in the Bruch G-minor
concerto with the Portland Junior
Symphony orchestra Saturday
night had any notion that she was
either injured or unnerved by
the collision between bus and auto
in which she was involved 24
hours earlier. An ankle bandage
was hidden by her long flowing
gown.
The Bruch concerto is a very
graceful piece of music to listen
to because of its stirring bravura
passages, its long, honeyed melo
dies and the intimate and skillful
way in which the solo instrument
and the accompa nying body com
plement one another in their tonal
discourse.
Miss Say ·proved herself to be
a violinist of skill and resource
in this music, partic!Uarly in her
steady, yet sensitive projection of
the haunting slow themes. There
was more maturity in her play
ing here than· is commonly ex
hibited by a girl of 19. Mr. Gersh
kovitch had the orchestra fully
alerted for all cues, so that the co
ordination between ensemble and
soloist (Miss Say has for three
years been the concertmaster) was
musicianly.

and as we sat in full view of
Mt. Hood, looking East from our
campus, our hearts swelled with
mingled feelings--remembering
May Day in 19'12 when Dr. Mor

be our President, thereby making
May Day in 1943 »ossible on the

OSWEGO, OREGON Lewis and Clark has certainly
conquered a prize, or could it be
that the prize has conquered
Lewis and Clark? Perhaps both
statements would be true. How
ever, had it not been for some
blessed fellow from Chicago we
would not be in possession of
this man, John Stark Evans. It
seems that after he was grad
uated from Grinnell college,
Iowa (Phi Beta Kappa, by the
' way), Mr. Evans worked for a
while as a court stenographer at
tile state supreme court in Des
Moines. He decided to become a
lawyer and spent a year at the
University of Iowa Law school
where he was quiz master of his
class of 87 ·member~. · Even dur
ing this time his musical inter
ests were prominent and he ded
icated two organs, an act in
which we now see he is quite
skilled. He left school in the
spring to accept an offer from
Chicago to go on the road as an
accompa. .T:tist. When this contract
e)fpired, Mi. Evans thought he

came to the Pacific coast where
he taught for a year at Pomona
college.
With the outbreak of war he
joined the army where his abili
ties were well thought of at Of
ficers candidate school. After the
war he was for a brief time at
the University of Oregon. While
on the coast he met and married
Marjorie Greig of Tacoma, an
event that had lasting results.
He and his bride went to New
York where he had further ad
vanced music study. Before long,
however, they returned to the
Pacific coast and to the Univer
sity of Oregon where he taught
for over 20 years. While at the
University he was assistant dean
of the school of music for 10
years, director of the glee clubs
at various times, and also of the
Eugene Oratorio society, and for
16 years the Eugene Gleemen,
who were -the official represen
tatives of Oregon at the San
Francisco World's Fair.
In the mid 20s Mr. Evans re
ceived a summer scholarship to
the American Conservatory in
:Font-llnbleau , France, where he
studied with such notables as
Isador Philippe, Casadesus and
Widor.
The fact that Mr. Evans is a
travel enthusiast is evident in
that he has visited such places as
China, Japan, Switzer 1 and,
France, Bermuda, · Alaska, and
has driven eight times across the
United States.
Traveling is not the only thing
that interests him, though. Dur

once in the air he has handled
the control~ alone for the length
of a 45 minute trip. His daughter
Josephirte , a sophomore at
Scripps college, is also a student .

The professor is entirely nor
mal in his choice of food. He
likes a good chocolate sundae,
and a breakfast ·of waffles, ba

other normality is that he likes

Mrs. Edna Dunbar Moser spoke Barbara Jane Wood Bemice Holsclgw Georqe Thoma'S Dixon Miyuachi -recently before a large group of
Portland business women at
their annual dinner, telling
them of experiences iri Africa.
'Later she made a f;imilar talk
over KEX radio station. Mr. Er
nest Moser talked last week at a
luncheon meeting of the Portland
Woman's club. In her prize-winning oration,
"They Walk with God", which
Miss Barbara Jane Wood Lin
field college senior, presented at
the inter-collegiat!! fellowship
during Spiritual Eij}phasis week,
she told of the heroic death of
four chaplains, who, while their
ship was sinking, ga·te their life
rafts to four soldiers. '£he yoang
est of the chaplains was Miss
Wood's cousin, and son of Daniel
Poling, former World President
of Christian Endeavor.
A graduate of Jefferson high
school, Miss Wood studied dra
matics under Miss Nina Great
house, who taught there before
coming to Lewis and Clark. Her
father, Mr. Walter Wood, teaches
science at Jefferson.
· She attended Albany college in
Portland for . one semester, and
speaking of our new campus ex
claimed, "It's beautiful! I want
to come back again soon. Every
one is so friendly and kind."
A sociology major, Miss Wood
plans to enter the field of Chris
tian education. . She is president
of Sigma Kappa Phi sorority and
belongs to Cap and Gown, senior
women's honorary, as well as
dramatics, forensic and social
science honoraries. She was ves
per chairman of Linfield's Re
ligious Emphasis week.
Having won the State Peace
Oratorical contest, Miss Wood
told excitedly of her plans to
leave for Pepperdine college in
Los Angeles to compele in the
regional contest held there.
At the request of many who
heard her, Miss Wood consented
to send a copy of her stirring or
ation to the campus so that cop
ies can be made available for all. The real solution for the prob
lems of racial difference lies in a
complete change of attitude or
"a change of heart", according
to Mrs. Bernice Holsclaw, who
was on the campus during Spirit
ual Emphasis week. However,
Mrs. Holsclaw said she believed
the type of meeting held while
she was here was of great value
in that it consisted of doing
things with people of other rlaces
as well as discussing the existing
problems.
Mrs. Holsclaw is the leader of
an inter-racial, inter-denomin
ational youth choir in Portland,
and judging from the enthusiasm
with which the students partici
pated in the fireside sing on .the
campus, she is a very talented
and competent leader.
Racial Problems Studled
Students wishing to participate
in activities for increasing co
o p e r a t
i o n and understanding
among races have met recently
on the campus, and are planning
some educational programs, in
cluding bringing a well-known
speaker to the college. Any stu
dent desiring to help in this ac
tivity or to have further informa
tion should see Mr. Ernest Mo-
ser. ..
Red Cross Goal Topped
Students and faculty went
more than $100 over their com
bined goal of $180 in the campus
Red Cross drive last month.
Jacqueline Sherbert, commit
tee chairman, reported $106 con
tributed by students, and Dr.
Harriet Sl'I)ith, faculty representa

Emphasis week'," said Mr. George
Thomas from the Council of
Churches at the discussion he
led Tuesday on "World Brother
hood". Mr. Thomas believes that
the idea of such a week could
be carried out successfully on
all campuses if , the students
themselves handled the arrange
ments with a minimum of con
trol by the faculty, and current
topics could be featured from
the Christian aspect. This method
would keep the students inter
ested • because it would be their
week.
Mr. Thomas also suggested the
possibility of setting aside three
days for concentrated thought on
"spiritual emphasis". During this
time no classes would be held
since \ this would allow t i m e
enough to go in~o subjects more
thoroughly and credits might be
given for attendance at the con
ferences and reports of them.
He reported that ,.such plans are.
used on small campuses back
east.
Mr. Thomas is vitally inter
ested in the racial problem . He
expressed the belief that we
should all remember "love thy
neighbor as thyself" since this
w o u l d undoubtedly lead to
friendlier relations between peo
ple of different colors. "Get to
know better someone of a dif
ferent race," advised Mr. Thom
as, "for trouble arises between
races only because of lack of un
derstanding." To those interest
ed in social work among· the
races, he said that you must be
dedicated to your work, must not
be easily discouraged, and you
must have self esteem, that is,
belief in God, belief in your
self, belief in your fellow man
and belief in doing your job
well.

C91-ry On Fine T1·aditions
My first acquaintance with Lewis and Clark college was
in connection with the May Day program in 1942 when I
visited the college prior to taking office as president. The
Queen and the court were gracious enough to make me a
Knight of the Rose, which was a delightful experience.
I am sure Queen Gloria and her court will carry on the
fine traditions which have been set up in connection with
May Day, so that the interests of our beloved college are
well advanced . Congratulations and best wishes for a gener:
ous and pleasant reign.
Morgan S. Odell,
President.
Congratulations to Queen and Court
Congratulations to Queen Gloria I and her court of lovely
maidens! Few sights are more beautiful than the May Day·
fete which is re-enacted each year on our wonderful Lewis
and Clark campus. We anticipate the festivities of the occa
sion and join with the entire admiring audience in a salute
to the lovely queen and her charming court. We wish for
them years of happiness!
Sparle' s Parle
May day was inaugurated on
the Albany campus in 1909 with
Miss Willetta Wright as Queen
with four attendants and the stud
ent body president acting as
prime ministe1 ·. The Queen's
dress was of all-over embroidery
and lace, made with a full skirt
down to her toes and wide revers.
The crown was of white forget
me-nots gathered on the campus
and the gowns of the attendants
were burdened with tucks of
shirring and high collars.
In the 30s the court consisted
of the Queen, maid of honor and
eight attendants with the coron
ation ceremony held under a
large oak tree. The velvet robe
was presented to Queen Marjorie
I by Alpha Gamma in 1930.
Our present system of May
Queen election started after the
college moved to Portland in 1938.
The impressive coronation c~re
mony is held on the terrace of
the Women's building where the
Queen knights an outstanding
student and faculty member with
a rose.
The traditional winding of the
Maypole is performed by Sigma
Rho and a luncheon in honor of
the Queen is given by Alpha
Gamma. The climax of the day's
festivities is the Queen's ball in
the evening.

Book Review~
BLACK BOY, by Richard
Wright, 1937. Harper & Brothers,
N.Y. 228 pp.
A 'must' for the reading list of
every citizen interested in race
relations is the recent Book-of
the-Mont h club selection, "Black
Boy" by Richard Wright, in which
he tells the pathetic and almost
too realistic story of his own boy
hood, a story which should make
every American determined that
the conditions which marred
Wright's youth must not be al
lowed to continue in our country
of "freedom, equality and oppor
tunity."
Mr. Wright paints his boyhood
scenes with such· pathos and viv
idness that the reader can almost
feel the strife and bitterness that
he, a southern Negra, felt against
the white man, and the promise
that the North held for him.
The book is short and easy to
read, but leaves one with the
impression of being incomplete.
The reader is anxious to hear of
his experiences after reaching
Chicago which led to his becom
ing the successful and respected
writer he is today.
"Black Boy" is not a pleasant
story, but it's a revealing one
which should give every Ameri
can a greater understanding of
the southern Negro.
CHIN A TO ME by Emily Hahn
The author of THE SOONG
SISTERS tells how she happened
to write them up and how she
happened to do quite a number
of less conventional and more
exciting things in China about
that time. A style which was
stilted and often awkward in bio
graphy becomes bright and fresh
in autobiography, as she jaunts
about the country and in and
out of men's lives.

Alum Chums
By Margaret Carol Beede
The recent sale of the Kamm
property on West 14th, between
Salmon and Main streets in Port
land, brings to mind a wonder
ful May Day in 1940 at the graci
ous old estate, where students of
Albany college celebrated their
traditional festival.
Under pale May. sunshine the
venerable grounds beckoned in
welcome to the excited celeb
rants, some of whom stood by
watching the erection of a high
flower-deck _ed throne majestical
ly arranged beneath the towering
redwoods , while others ran forth
and back in pursuance of loud
speaker equipment, an extra car
nation to fit into the ·throne, a
lost x:ecord or a message of great
import. And many ran just to
be running. The somewhat cold
air caused many faces to lift to-... ward the sky with pleading look
and anxious thought.
Time brought the guests happy
and eager to be seated along .the
wide aisle leading to the throne.
Music played over the P. A.; a
breeze stirred the tops of the
trees, lifted the fragrance of blos
soms and the sun smiled on the
people; excited whispers winged
through the groups of students
who stood nearby ~ and then
came the court!
Like delicate blossoms their
pastel gowns swayed gently as
·the si~ attendants approchad the
throne and awaited HER GRACI
OUS MAJESTY. The Queen's
arm bouquet of roses sweetly
contrasted with the petite colo
nial May Pole dance. The Queen
smiled.
Who were the principles .of
thiS beautiful pageant? They
were--as are each year's royal
groups--the choices of their stu
dent body and classes. Their
years at Albany college earn for
them the position of Lewis and
Clark Alums and here they are:
Queen, Betty Doran, Class of
1940.
Crown Princess, Norma Rud
·dock, Class of 1941.
Crown Princess, Elaine Dahl,
Class of 1941.
Prime Minister, Howard Hous
ton, Class of 1941.
Senior Princess, Imogene Leg-By Hilmar Grondahl from the
Oregonian
To be involved in a traffic acci
dent one night, and play a solo
with a symphony orchestra the
next is not the average girl's idea
of the way things should happen.
But no one who heard Margaret
Say, violinist, play the solo as
signment in the Bruch G-minor
concerto with the Portland Junior
Symphony orchestra Saturday
night had any notion that she was
either injured or unnerved by
the collision between bus and auto
in which she was involved 24
hours earlier. An ankle bandage
was hidden by her long flowing
gown.
The Bruch concerto is a very
graceful piece of music to listen
to because of its stirring bravura
passages, its long, honeyed melo
dies and the intimate and skillful
way in which the solo instrument
and the accompa nying body com
plement one another in their tonal
discourse.
Miss Say ·proved herself to be
a violinist of skill and resource
in this music, partic!Uarly in her
steady, yet sensitive projection of
the haunting slow themes. There
was more maturity in her play
ing here than· is commonly ex
hibited by a girl of 19. Mr. Gersh
kovitch had the orchestra fully
alerted for all cues, so that the co
ordination between ensemble and
soloist (Miss Say has for three
years been the concertmaster) was
musicianly.
tain-top seeker were realized,
and as we sat in full view of
Mt. Hood, looking East from our
campus, our hearts swelled with
mingled feelings--remembering
May Day in 19'12 when Dr. Mor
gan S. Odell accepted the call to
be our President, thereby making
May Day in 1943 »ossible on the
Lewis and Clark <;ampus.
To Queen Gloria I-our deep
felt wish for a oright day, a
flower-decked court, and a starry
evening. May she.and her beauti
ful .attendants reign with legend
ary perfection over a realm of
happy subjec~s on May Day 1945.

OSWEGO, OREGON Lewis and Clark has certainly
conquered a prize, or could it be
that the prize has conquered
Lewis and Clark? Perhaps both
statements would be true. How
ever, had it not been for some
blessed fellow from Chicago we
would not be in possession of
this man, John Stark Evans. It
seems that after he was grad
uated from Grinnell college,
Iowa (Phi Beta Kappa, by the
' way), Mr. Evans worked for a
while as a court stenographer at
tile state supreme court in Des
Moines. He decided to become a
lawyer and spent a year at the
University of Iowa Law school
where he was quiz master of his
class of 87 ·member~. · Even dur
ing this time his musical inter
ests were prominent and he ded
icated two organs, an act in
which we now see he is quite
skilled. He left school in the
spring to accept an offer from
Chicago to go on the road as an
accompa. .T:tist. When this contract
e)fpired, Mi. Evans thought he
would return to law school, but
Fashion Boles
The most interesting news in
campus fashion is, of course, the
charming picture made by Queen
Gloria I and her Royal Court.
Freshman Princess Jackie Sher
bert and Sophomore Princess
Marily Luster look their love
liest in taffeta brocade of bright
and lively yellow-the perfect
contrast for their dark hair and
eyes. The basic pattern for their
gowns is the same pattern used
by the other two class princesses,
Junior Princess Yola Baldassarre
and Senior Princess Dorothy Da
vidson. Yola and Dorothy have
chosen to vary the _picture ·by
using crepe of cool lime ~een.
The pattern for the dresses
features .a suggestion of the new
cap sleeve, a gathered bodice,
and smooth, simple lines.
Crown Princesses Connie Ber
key and Joyce Ogden further
complete the picture in dresses
reminiscent of the "old South"
pattern, with fullness of skirt
(l.nd a low neckline, bordered in
Small ruffles. The material is
crisp organdy with white back
ground bearing the splasny flo
ral print of warm reds and oran-·
ges.
Traditional white is worn by
Queen Gloria, rounding out the
colorful picture. The simple lines
of soft-falling white jersey are
truly fitting for our Queen. Sure-
ly there coUld not be a lovelier,
more tastefully dressed Royal
Court.

private music study. Mr. Evans
came to the Pacific coast where
he taught for a year at Pomona
college.
With the outbreak of war he
joined the army where his abili
ties were well thought of at Of
ficers candidate school. After the
war he was for a brief time at
the University of Oregon. While
on the coast he met and married
Marjorie Greig of Tacoma, an
event that had lasting results.
He and his bride went to New
York where he had further ad
vanced music study. Before long,
however, they returned to the
Pacific coast and to the Univer
sity of Oregon where he taught
for over 20 years. While at the
University he was assistant dean
of the school of music for 10
years, director of the glee clubs
at various times, and also of the
Eugene Oratorio society, and for
16 years the Eugene Gleemen,
who were -the official represen
tatives of Oregon at the San
Francisco World's Fair.
In the mid 20s Mr. Evans re
ceived a summer scholarship to
the American Conservatory in
:Font-llnbleau , France, where he
studied with such notables as
Isador Philippe, Casadesus and
Widor.
The fact that Mr. Evans is a
travel enthusiast is evident in
that he has visited such places as
China, Japan, Switzer 1 and,
France, Bermuda, · Alaska, and
has driven eight times across the
United States.
Traveling is not the only thing
that interests him, though. Dur
ing the summer the Evans fami
ly stays at Clear Lake where
swimming is a favorite pastime.
A man of many abilities, Mr.
Evans also bui ,l~s ,bo~~· The

ago. Flying is also one of his
hobbies. Although he has never
soloed in a take off or a landing,
once in the air he has handled
the control~ alone for the length
of a 45 minute trip. His daughter
Josephirte , a sophomore at
Scripps college, is also a student .
pilot.
The professor is entirely nor
mal in his choice of food. He
likes a good chocolate sundae,
and a breakfast ·of waffles, ba
con, grapefruit and coffee. An
other normality is that he likes
his new . position and surround
ings at Lewis and Clark very
well. The school is expecting
great things from Mr. Evans, and
the harvest is only beginning.
Summer School Planned
Two summer sessions have
been announced by Dr. L. 0. Mc
Afee, registrar; an e\ght-week
term from June 4 to July 27, and
a four-week term from July 30
to August 24.
A course in field biology by
Mr. Benjamin A. Thaxter will
be featured, with the departments
of sociology, psychology, educa
tion, mathematics, chemistry and
English also offering work.
