from rude: but nnthing i, further from the truth. \'o. a different origin must be
sought. .\cer in Latin mean, sharp. keen. cute and small i11 area. .'\ow. this
latter \\'Ord means 160 square rods. Hut four rrn1rl, made one acre. as our arith-
111etic tells us. So :\liss Rood\ people 1,-c1-c called Rood because they ,,·ere small,
so sharp. and so able to g-o through things.
One other claims our attention-our .\nita Schultz. So mischievous. and so
captivating! Now. hot1~e\\'ive, drive hens from the yard. by nirting the apron
and saying. "shno, shooon. shoooooo !" lots of times. .-\nita's relatives of long
ago were not only small. hut full of tricks. and being ,hort like hens. the folks
in their conntry said ''shoo" lots of time, to stop them from their pranks. l3e­
rause they said "shoo" lots of times. they ,,·ere ah,·ays "shoolots." by their neigh­
bors, and then the name 11·a~ changed h Schultz. to accord with the German style
nf spelling. Tlence. Schultz means small ancl tricky. \\'ise and ll'itty.

Avant Coureurs.
1\i. pre,ent the .\vant Coureurs is the only girls literary society in existence
i1ere. tl1e Erodelphian Society having become extinct. According to the pre­
amble of our constitution, the purpose oi this society is ··to stimulate the argu­
mentati,·e facultie,; of the brain. to enlarge our ,·ocahularies and enhance the
beauty of all public ,peaking, and to Ira,·c to our succcs,-,ors a society \\'Orthy of
ih name and the future .\lbany College."
\\"ith the,,e several enrl, in view. each program is planned with certain
regular feature,. The fir,t oi these. a rollcall. is alll'ays answered by a current
event. unles, other\\'i,e de,ig-nated 011 a ,,pecial program. Folloll'ing the main
part of the program is the forum hour. cunsi,-ting of papers, talks on live topics,
an impromptu or l\rn. :11:d a debate. lt 1, a period left open for discussion either
of topics of general or school interest'>. or of ::.ome matters pertaining to order
and g0Yerm11ent in the ~ociet) ihel L I mmecliatcly following this hour comes
the critic"s report. Student critici,m \\"a:-at first avoided because of a fear that
personal feeling mig-ht in luence critic N criticised: but at the la,;t election of
officers a ,tudent critic wa, elected. and ha, heen not only competent but well
liked.
A number of ,;pecial prog-rams have pro\'ed very interesting. \Vhen such
a program i~ arranged for. e\'ery part is made to contribute to the general
theme of the subject lO be COthidered. . \s. for instance. on the ··Robert Louis
Stevenson Day:· the rollcall \\'a" ans\\"ered by quotations from that author, and
the other number~ of the program were a !->ketch oi his life, which included an
enumeration of his \\'Orks. several ,election~ from thelll, and a discussion of their
general merits. On other special clay" \\'e have considered .\lark Twain, Sidney
Lanier. and Thoreau. \\"e have al;;o been fortunate in haviqg papers from out­
:,iders who have taken a kindly intere;.t in our :,,ociety.
\\"e confidently hope and expect that our pioneer society is destined to a
long Ii fe. in the iuture .\lbany College. of \\'hich both its members and the
faculty shall be justly proud. l'age 43

The young 1111.:11 of :\lbany College have ior se\·eral years been banded to­
gether in the Young J\ 1 en ·s Christian Association for a <lefinite purpose. and
although the work has prospered in the past. the Association has never meant
quite as much to its 111c111ber~ as it docs now. The reasons for thi-are several.
The principles for which the . \ssociation stands have been more strongly em­
phasized by the members. The young men are 111ore clo~ely united. and art:
better organized for work. The financial support has been better, and for that
reason the . ..\ssociation has been unable to undertake work which would. otherwise.
have been impossible.
i\ wore! might be said concerning the principles fur which the .'\ssociation
;;tan<ls. It stands for the full development of the mental, physical and spiritual
pha,,es of a man ·s nature. It empha:--izes as strongly as possible the fact that
laking a definite stand for Christ docs not necessitate \\·caring a long face, nor
docs it take anything from a person·,; enjoyment of life: but, on the contrary,
adds to his enjoyment and greater efficiency lo his \\·ork. The importance of
Lhristianity in a man's li[e. not only as a safeguard. but also as a positive neccs­
~ity in building character. is recognized ancl treated as the most important part
of the work of the As,,ociation.
As to the actual work of the .\ssociation, nothing but an encouraging report
can be made. Through its weekly devotional meetings. and abo through its
Bible and mission study classes, the ...\::,sociation is continually drawing· the men
closer together and bringing them face tu face with the practical problems that
confront every fellow as he starts out in life. This year has also witnessed the
beginning of work along an entirely new line. The growing movement among
the student associations throughout the country known as deputation or Gospel
team work, has, during this year, been undertaken by the local Association. Dur­
:ng the Christmas holidays it was represented by two members, who went to
.Harrisburg to assist in some meetings there. Their report was so favorable that
in February a team, composed of nine members, went to llalsey, and with the
assistance of l\f r. Tl. A. Dalzell. student and boys· secretary for Oregon and
Idaho, held a number of meetings there. The main object of these meetings is
to bring the claims of the Gospel before the young people, and the success of
these initial attempts has been such that the Association is planning to make more
such trips in the future. Page 48
The Association has been very fortunate in the support it has received from
the pastors and business men or .\lbany. The need of a strong t,elf-governing
Christian organization among the stuclcnb i, recognized by the bm,iness men,
ancl for that rca,on the: have aided the work both by personal encouragement
and by contributing nwney toward till' expens(.'s of the . \,sociation.
There i!, one influence \\·hicl1 is becoming- every year a stronger factor in
raising the ,tanclarcl of efficiency in thL· work of the .\,sociatinn. and that is the
annual state com·L•ntiun. The enthusiasm and inspiration received in such a
g-athering. and the helpful ,uggestilln, gi\-cn h_\ men who have made a thorough
,tucly of a!->sociatiun metho<b. mean much when put into actual the. .\t the con

Dear .\unt :-This is a live school! I enjoy my coun,c immensely; there is

to go up to the .\,.,,.,cmbly room al ;di. hut lo have our service out in the new Greek
Theatre ( you remember, I ll'rote you that it is j tbt completed). and ha vc the

Junior-Senior banquet ever hna"h. ,\II of the speakers arc really eminent women, Page 56
and those of whom their Alma l\Iater may be justly proud. The first one on the pro·
gram is a missionary just returned from India. Her work among the natives
is very important. Having just come over the ocean. she gave us a very instruc­
tive dissertation on how completely equipped every ocean liner is: •• ft is a pe­
culiar fact that on very :-hort notice. they can rai:<c right on :<hip board any article
of food."
Before the series of lectures had barely begun. I noticed at the windows a
~roup of questioning teachers. Pre:,;ently, the president came over toward us
with stern and forbidding mien. He paused to get breath before he made the
dire announcement. And suddenly his resolutions ~eemed to melt away and he
sank smiling into the nearest seat. and remained there during the rest of the
~ession.
Two of the celebrated party are history pedagogues. Their special stunt is
the c>.bility to give <lates and corresponding incident:- for every day in the year
since the year one. l'nfortunately. their notebooks. through bad railroad service,
had failed to come. so they couldn't entertain us. Dut one of them told a story
about one of their number who was business manager of the first Annual. \\'hen
the paper was finally sent to press. ~he dropped down almost dead with sheer
exhaustion. The doctor, when called. gravely said: ''The circulation is almost
gone." ''Not much." cried the manager. jumping up: ''the Annual is going to
have the biggest circulation of any college paper on the coast."
A Mrs. Somebody. with a funny German name. expatiated on the develop­
ment she gained by being president of the Y. \V. C. A. She looked so pretty
and talked so convincingly that l wanted to turn girl and get elected president
right away.
One in precise Bostonian accent in forme<l us that she was head instructor of
English literature. She was so intent upon teaching us how to pronounce the word
"literature" properly, that she forgot to tell u,: the name of the institution in which
!-he taught.
You remember reading about that eminent sociologist in the last Review?
Vi' ell, she belongs to this same intellectual set. Franklin's textbook is continually
quoting her.
A little short lady. apparently on the point of giggling. was really very scien­
tific. She has discovered a substance callee\ mitiore, or something which hereto­
fore has defied all chemists. The discovery has covered her with glory. She
urged us to stick to our laboratory. for she said it was only by doing that very
thing in the qualitative analysis work that she gained the inspiration to go into
further research work.
All the rest were equally interesting. but ifs lunch time. Good-bye.

All day Ilotomah had been in the hill-. a long. harcl ll'ay. Early morning hacl

His long bow slid from hi,; h:rnd and he gave it a contemptuous p11,-,h with his

Once upon a time in a distant land. so many years ago that its one-time
immense reputation and gigantic inAucnce upon the affair~ of mankind has almost
disappeared. there existed an exceccli11gly learned . ociety that contained among
its members the most profound philosopher,. the most eloquent orntors. and the
mo~t powerful and moving writers that could possibly be imagined. And such
,ras its sen~e of beauty, art. and respect clue the Society. that it once wholly re­
moved the clothing of a member \\'ho appeared at a meeting with a slight im­
perfection in his attire. preferring to see him in that nude state rather than with
the slightest imperfection apparent. .\nd a, an in~tance of the po\\'erful eloquence

The be t, the closest friend I had. The Unwritten Law of the Campus. Page 6.3
Laws exist before they are formulated. The statement of a law of the
universe has nothing to do with its all-pervading action. ome laws arc slow
and inexorable; others are swift and varying in their application. Rut there i~
one law that is at once swift and inexorable in its execution. It is not a law
of matter instituted at the Creation : it is not the enactment of any legislative
body; it has never yet been really formulated. It is the unswer\'ing, and con­
stant dictum of the student world-the Unwritten Law of the Campus-"Thou
::halt not tell on thy neighbor."
ls this law just? The proverbial professor says ·o. Is it reasonable? ls
it square to the teacher? ls it a good thing for the student? ls it a practice
to be commended? All these queries this ancient worthy answers in the nega­
tive. But we do not need to accept the. e statements as tme. It is for tl1e
student to investigate and determine for himself his views on these mooted
points.
To begin aright, is the commandment, "Thou shalt not tell on thy neigh­
bor" just? Nowadays a great deal of glamor is thrown about human nature,
and its nun:1erous commendable qualitie are much discussed and paraded in
tlie public view. But underneath we are much like our first non-prehensible-tailecl
forefathers. Toleration grew out of the weak man or group's fear of a stronger.
One day some bright human thought of dignifying toleration by the name of
justice. Men deal justly with each other because they are afraid to act the crook
and because they get a clue return. Their fellows give them the same e<]uity
they themselve are accorded. tudents, in general, do not bear false witness
against their neighbors, because they do not like the consequences of double­
dealing and because they wish their companions to have reason to be equally
considerate of them. A fair exchange is no robbery; and for his silences a
student earns good-will and popularity a well as sundry other more material
blessings. Peace and quiet are more readily secured by the aid of this habit of
silence.
The origin of this ''rule of faith and practice" is not far to seek. For it
has not been many years since professors were wont to consider their students not
as pliable material to be molded toward beauty and symmetry of character and
usefulness of life, but as so many little squares of obstinacy to be hammered by
force into t11e little, round holes which, to the academic mind, constituted the
ideal students' size and shape of mind. The majority of college students then
were so meek or so peace-loving that they suLmitted to being driven temporarily
mto these pre-arranged spheres of thought and action. llut always there was
an unruly minority that paid no heed to the stern professorial dictum, and thus­
sworn to secrecy and mutual protection-preserved the principles of inde­
pendence.
Since that time, a great change has taken place in the scholastic world, and
~tudent and teacher have a much larger sympatliy with each other. The excep­
tional teacher, the rare professor, draws each student of approachable nature
by the bonds of common interest or friendship, and controls the student, who
cannot be reached by the former method, by his own innate force of character Page 64
and strength of mind. But still the student and the traditional college professor
are leagues apart, and things look very different from their widely-separated
viewpoints. Still one student refuses to di close to the faculty the pranks of his
fellows. Still the professor must play the dignified detective as best he can.
,-\nd it is all becau e the ordinary professor and his student are so far apart
that they cannot understand each other's actions or ideas.
But it i hard to determine whether this practice is right or wrong, and
whether it should be frowned upon or encouraged. Jn this consideration we
ought to be g11ided by relative rather than absolute values. College is supposed
to be a world in miniature. and to derive much of its usefulness from this re­
~emblance. In the world, a man is expected to do all in hi power to bring
criminals to justice, and hence it is argued that he should do likewise in college.
This may be true theoretically. but theory is not practice. Even in real life a
man does not drag all who break la\\'s before the courts. There are other more
successful reforming agencies than prisons. and many people arc becoming broad
enough to resort to the~e only as a forlorn hope. 1\nd in college there are more
c ffective means of transformation than faculty meetings and stern and angry
~peeches from a profc·sor who looks out upon life through the spectacle of
scholasticism. and totally fails to comprehend how young men and women in
college can pause long enough in their contemplation of the '·categorical impera­
tive'' to despoil convenient henroosts or paint crude, lurid banners. Theoretically
the model tudent may be a sort of ·econdary ear for the faculty's student-com­
mittee, but practically he would. by such means, defeat the great aim of college
-the making of men and women.
Beside this, the encouragement of spying on other people is undesirable.
Such pursuits ought to be below the level of every college man-whether student
or professor. Most people are sufficiently endowed with the sneak-pirit to be
~ble to dispen e with all cultivation of it in college. \Vhoever saw a "detective"
in college who was as popular, or square, or influential as he might be? vVhoever
·aw lti111 keeping peace between hostile elements. or making any of the ideal
friendships of college life? Students are by no mean perfect. nor are they so
depraved as to need spying and ever-suspicious watching. After all, one of the
hest means in securing peace and quiet in college and the fraternity that should
('xist among students is the beautitucle: "Tell not. that ye be not told on."
When we look fairly at this cu tom. we cannot but see that it is an ex­
pression-faulty though it may be-of youth's loyalty to youth and friendship,
of its most ~acred principle--constancy-and of the only unwritten law whose
subjects never question its justice-the L.:nwritten Law of the Campus. Page 65
Pickled Dates.
The class rushed hurriedly into the recitation room. There were twenty-two
in the class; the most desirable locations were the eight seat in the back row;
therefore. there was occasion for haste. Presently, after the roll had been called,
and the profe sor had returned from closing the door. which the last one com­
ing in had, as usual, left open, the announcement was made: ''The class may
write for twenty minutes. Time work so as to answer all six questions. Be spe­
cific, concise and choose es entials."
After much steady scribbling. "Time's up. Hanel papers in at once. Don't
keep them a second. Leave right off where you arc writing." The papers were
reluctantly handed down the line, with much confusion.
'' ow." said the professor. placing one foot on the vacant seat. "the note­
books must be handed in on the seventh. Some of you have been extremely
careless in keeping your notes. One of you has failed to present his notebook
at the hour specified. Such a case of carelessness. I fail utterly to understand ...
"I don't know how you want us to write the notes." said the girl in the blue
dress.
The Professor {horrified) : "I have repeatedly instructed you. Once 111 Jrc
J shall elucidate on the latest scientific methods. and then. let no one at the encl
nf the term. assert that he clidn 't understand ,tbout notebooks. L am especially
particular about the margins. At the top, write the name of the book. author's
name, and the date: ancl then at various place:-.. at least five or six time,, write
the number of the page. If an historian fails to be explicit in these details. he
;nay waste hours. even day~ and months, and perhaps year in tracing the source
of his information. ln taking notes. do not copy clown a p:ir;,graph hod;lr. 1f
you cannot condense, there is not any special need in writing it. Choose key
words. Don't allow your sentence to exceed one line. Do not abbreviate too
much. Do not take notes in shorthand, lest you be unable to translate later.
Record on. last page of book, the exact number of hours and minutes spent in
study."
"I don't see any good of a notebook. anyway." said the boy on the front
seat.
"A collection of notebooks, properly kept," said the professor, "is invalu­
able. I have in my possession a file of notebooks, ten feet high. On exactly two
minutes' and thirty-seven seconds' notice, I can find material on any subject from
Plato's Republic down to the most modern methods of rolling dumb-bells and
lighting firecrackers."
"But," came the objection, "we simply cannot carry our notebooks around
with us all the time, and look for an answer to every question asked us. Ac­
cording to your doctrine, if you lost your notebook you wouldn't know any­
thing."
The Professor (stiffly): "My notebooks are heavily insured, and if de­
stroyed, I could easily buy up more at 10 and 15 cents apiece. But you have
failed to grasp my point. The mere writing the notes fixes it in the memory. For
your plastic brains are like paper that once folded will always have a tendency
to fold that way. In strict scientific literalness, nothing you ever do is obliterated.
Down among your nerve cells and fibers, the molecules are registering every
action. Psychologically--," and then the bell rang. Page 66
An Idyll of a Country Childhood.
The joys of country breeding are not to be expressed by the city-bred who
write learnedly about them. Such delights can be valued aright only by those
who once saw the orchards in bloom and the fields in new green with all the
keen delight of the unconscious child-lover of nature. What are the sophistica­
tions and sights of the town, compared to the things a country girl can feel and
see?
When you were a child in the country, the dreams of the city, the fame
and riches to be yours, the brilliance and beauty to surround you, and your own
great and marvelous deeds were the visions that lured you on, that alone sus­
tained you through the homely, commonplace duties of the farm. But are not the
old days equally attractive for you now-the days when you gave never a
thought to clothes or appearance, when your face was dirty and your hands in­
describable, when your scanty hair was tied back with a string because a ribbo11
was in the way, and when-with much faith and a bent pin-you went a-fishing
in the barnyard slough, which had never been known to contain a fish.
Perhaps you were called a Tom-boy; probably you deserved the name. You
liked to ride the horses at a wild gallop over the big pasture. You wen~ en­
tranced when grandfather made you a little wooden gun, and began straightway,
in the back-yard, to enact the Civil War and other dreadful scenes of carnage.
You pa!ised whole hours of delight in the tool-room making all sorts of things
that never would go. You crouched for whole forenoons at a time under the
trees in the prune orchard, while the "hired men" dug out the "grubs." You
made an occasional small fishing trip, and carried your wriggling, slimy bait all
the way in your stocking. You saved up all your money for a long time, raised
a pig by your own endeavors, and with your purchase price and your little hoard
you went to town and bought a red express wagon, a package of nice, long, slate­
pencils, a pencil box, and finally a blue soldier's cap. To be sure, your mothe-r
made you wear a hood in winter, but you set the military cap on top, and the
effect was splendid.
When you are strictly honest, don't you wish you hadn't grown up and
come to the day when you must look in the glass to see if your nose shines, and,
if it does, powder it accordingly? Don't you somehow yearn for the spring-heeled
shoes that never hurt the little toe on your left foot, and the rubber boots that
afforded an excuse for many a trip through the slough and all the mud-puddJes- an
active child could find? Don't you look back with something of longing at the
busy days of summer when all the outdoors called you so loud to come out and
play, and your mother called equally loud from the back door for you to
''come and clean up the mess you had made with your tools and shavings on the
washroom floor? And isn't it the !ihameful truth that you can now recall without
a blush the tremendous aversion you had-at the mature age of ten-to the
batJltub, and how your mother always had to "corall" you by force every Saturday
evening, and scrub your ears into a imilitude of cleanliness for Sunday? Do you
not vividly recall how you dreaded your weekly dose of the Westminster Shorter
Catechism, administered every Sunday afternoon by your grandfather, while
you stood beside the living-room stove, with your hands cla!>i,>ed behind you,
vainly endeavoring to recall "the chief end of man." Page 67
Summer always found you wildly impatient of school, already "playing
hooky" occasionally, and utterly defying propriety by playing ''black-man'' with
the boys. Your present friends would hardly recognize in the fairly well groomed
and mannered young woman who is so versatile, the !-Omewhat obstreperous, the
slim, half-bald, green-eyed imp who terrorized the timid. modest, little "school­
ma ·am" by climbing the high-board fence, and clutching the throat of the impu­
dent lad who had darecl to invade the precincts sacred to the "play-store·· of the
little girls, until that unfortunate youth was blue around the mouth and perfectly
ready to withdraw and remain forever in his own side of the yard. The spring­
fever had clone its deadly work, and you could no more obey rules and study
l;uietly than you could sit clown calmly and learn to embroider. You sneered
at the mild games of the girls: you scorned playing house and were altogether
superior to dolls. So you looked around for new fields to conquer. These new
fields were likely to be anything from amateur dramatics in the hor. e-sheds be­
hind the schoolhouse to dressing up in boy"s clothes and ·candalizing the whole
neighborhood.
When school was finally out. and hay-time near at hand. you began to feel
the need of a straw hat like the one Johnny Rrown wore. Your mother refused
to buy her daughter such a foolish thing. but assured you that, if you earned
the money yourself. you would be allowed to use it in the purchase of the coveted
headgear. For a long time, it seemed as if you could not find any remunerative
job. and the . traw hat faded almost into a dream. But on one never-to-be for­
gotten day your grandfather said he would give you 50 cents if you would trim
the hedge in the front yard satisfactorily. Fifty cents! You clasped your thin
hrown hands estatically at the bare suggestion of so much wealth all your own!
However, there was still more trouble before you. There were no pruning­
!-hears on the place. and you knew it would do no good to ask your grandfather
to buy a pair. Despair settled down on you like fog on the course of a river. but
er.e many days had passed the golden gleam of inspiration had penetrated the
111ist of sadness. You found an old pair of ordinary shears in the tool-house,
sharpened them as best you could. and with this crude implement attacked the
hedge confidently. It was about the length of two city blocks. but to your tired
eyes it stretched away an infinite distance. Your back ached, your head reeleo,
your hands were covered with blisters innumerable Jong before the day when you
proudly received into your small. toil-hardened fist your well-earned wages and
a bonus of twenty-five cents.
Before a week elapsed you had a chance to go into town. and with trembling­
fingers you donned your second-best dress-a dark reel percale with white fig­
ures-and your little, round, white sailor hat with the broad. blue ribbon. Your
grandfather and you were an ideal couple to go to town together, for he slept
placidly nearly all the way, and you sat stiffly on the edge of the seat and drove,
very much impressed with the importance of your office.
Your purchases ,vere a somewhat weighty matter, and entailed a good deal
of examination and comparison. But when you were ready to go home your
account stood thus:

D£BATI~G TEAM
Alex. r-lcClain, Louis Jones, Arthur Jones, Read Dowlin
At the beginning of this year, the Triangular Intercollegiate Debating
League was organized with Pacific. I\ldlinnville. and Albany colleges as mem­
bers. On account of the illness of their leading debators, Pacific was forced to
drop out of the league. Mc~1innville and Albany, however, will debate the
league question on May 5, at J\IcJ\ [innville.
The question is: '·Resolved. That all interstate railroads should be incor­
porated under the Federal Government ( constitutionality being waived)." Mc­
Minnville take the affin11ativc and _\lbany the negative.
Albany College has in the past been very, successful in debating work. In
three years, 1905-6, 1906-7, and 1907-8, Albany won six out of their seven inter­
collegiate debates, and held the d1ampionship of the Debating League twice.
In 1908-9, the girls' team also won the championship of the Women's Debat­
ing League, defeating both 0. A. C., and the Monmouth Normal School.
La t year, fortune failed to smile on Albany's debators, and we lost our
chance to be league champions in 1909-10. But we hope for better things in the
coming college year. Page 71

COOS CLUB.
The officers of the Coos-Curry Club arc: President, Arthur Hodge: Vice­
President, Arthur Jones; Secretary, Winifred Rood: Treasurer, Lester Osburn.
Members: Winifred Rood and :\I ildred Rood. of '.'\orth Bend; -:\[yrtle Hodge,
Harley llodge, and Arthur lloclge, of Fishtrap: Theodore Easton, of Sitkum;
Lester Osborn. of 13anclon : Louis Jones ancl . \ rthur Jones, of 11 yrtle Point;
.Ethel Cheever, of Langlois, and :\Jagnolia \Vl1ite. of Port Orford. The honor­
ary members are: Mrs. Rood. Mrs. Osborn and Mr. J. M. lloclge.
That Albany College is well and favorably known on the coast. is evidenced
by the fact that a Coos Club has existed since 190+. During that time, thirty of
the students have been members. The only qualification for membership is their
enrollment in A. C., and tl1eir former re. iclence in Coos County. The desire for
a true home spirit and a development along social and literary lines, led to its
organization.
At the beginning of t11is year. the club was re-organized, officers were elected,
and a constitution was adopted. Because two of the members were natives of
the county adjoining Coo .. the :-ociety wa,; "re-launched." under the name, Coos­
Curry Club.
The "eleven .. meet the first \\·eek in every month. Each meeting is char­
acterized by a good attendance and most loyal support. i\ fter the usual inter­
esting program, a pleasant social hour is alway,;; enjoyed.
One of the most delightful social functions of the year was a Thanksgiving
dinner, at the home of :\[r. J. ~1. I lodge, given in honor of two former residents
of Coos Bay, :\Jr. Walter IJoclge and Mr. ~Tarion Custer, of the University of
Oregon. After a delicious dinner of several courses. some excellent after-dinner
speeches were given. ~Ir .. \ rthur llodge acted as toastmaster.
The greatest excitement and anxiety that the club had ever experienced
happened in January, when the boys were the hosts. Alas! when tho c i-erving
went to ilie dining-room for the refreshments, the cake had disappeared! But
the next morning the cake and the culprit:- were di ·covered in the laboratory.
It was their intention to exclude all club members from the fea t. but in the
scrimmage that followed, the C. C. C.'s were victorious.
Several interesting sessions ( viewed by the envious eyes of the "outsiders")
were held in the music-room in the rear of the college building, where excellent
literary and musical programs were rendered.
The warm March days brought such longings for the unparalleled climate
of Coos, that a picnic on the banks of the Calapooia seemed the only con olation.
The big campfire. roasted potatoes, broiled meal, and all campmg accessories,
made one of the most delightful of all our social gatherings.
f-our of the members of the club arc cniors. ;1Tiss :.lyrtlc I lodge and
l\Iiss Winifred Rood, of the College: and the other two. :\li s Ethel Cheever and
?-.Iiss 1Tildred Rood. of the Conservatory of :.lusic. They, as well as the other
members, are regretting that they will not be here to enjoy the good times next
year. The fame and ucccss of the College have traveled to all parts of the
coast, and we look forward to a much larger aiisociation in the future. For the
C. C. C. is certainly going to grow and prosper with the inevitable prosperity of
a greater Albany College. Page 74
I sing of a beautiful county
Where everything needed is grown;
Where fruits spring up wild in abundance,
And crops from the seed that is sown.
The mountains are covered with timber,
The valleys are covered with grass;
Great orchards are found on the hillsides,
And cranberries in the morass.
Wide rivers flow out of the fore ·ts
And water the land on all sides:
While the broad expanse of the ocean
Casts spray on the coast with its tides.
Big boulders abound on the beach-line,
Crags jut from the great mountain heights,
In winter the snow on the ledges
Glimmer out like sea-beacon lights.
Chorus.
There·s no place as good as Coos County,
Tho' far o ·er the earth we may roam ;
There's no place as good a Coo County,
And there will I long make my home. Page 75

(NOTE-This is the translation of another ancient document found by
me in the ruins of what had evidently been s0ml" £urt of an institution of learn­
ing, which has been uncovered by recent excavation.:; :n that section of the
ancient democracy, the United States, callerf Oregon.)
In the days of Cleveland, President of the United States, there was organ­
ized a literary society for the young men of Albany College. It grew and pros­
pered greatly. Then its members became proud and vain-glorious, and began to
play compromising jokes on the young women students.
Now, there happened to be, in this institution, a small compauy of ten gi, ls,
who, alone of all the students, were daring enough to play any prank; such as an~
now considered to be characteristic of colleges. "The Silent Ten," for so were
they called, resolved to cast down the pride of the men's literary society, tl1e
A. C. L. S. This society had a few pieces of decrepit furniture -vhich they
prized very highly. Consequently, the ·'Silent Ten'' resolved to abduct this fur­
niture.
There were many difficulties connected with this task. It coul<l not po~sibly
be accomplished in the daytime, and. as tl1e company lived in widely-scattered
houses, it was not easy even in the evening.
But just at the gloaming of an early winter day, when school and street
were deserted, these intrepid adventurers carried away all the desired plunder
to a place of storage. Great was the excitement when the absence of the beloved
relics was di covered. Lnclignation meetings were held, and many fiery speeche'.;
and sad prognostications made as to the fate of the missing articles.
"The Silent Ten," having only clone this prank as a pure joke, were much
surprised when the young men were so angry, and, wishing to make no more
disturbance, returned the missing iliings before long. It was night, and ilieir
aspect was so fearsome and warlike, that a member of the A. C. L. S., whom
they met, became so frightened that he ran at top peed to the protecting home
of a friend.
Now, the spirit of mischief began to work on these fearless maids, and
tl1cy decided to perform other deeds of daring with this furniture. One night,
ere Jong, they accordingly removed the table from the closet, which was its
usual abode, and stored it in the attic of the college building, together with the
beauteous initiation robe.
After they discovered its whereabouts. the men locked the doors leading to
the attic stairs, and rested secure in the thought that their table would here be
perfectly safe. They also planned to make a great ado some morning about th,~
absence of their desk, and frighten the .. Silent Ten .. into coming on the following
evening to restore the table; then the hidden A. C. L. . men would spring out
and capture the girls. This plan seemed easy to the men, but, as usual. the
"Silent Ten" found out the . cherne of the young men, and, coming to the college
in the dead of night. at the witching hour of three, they carried away both ilie
table and robe to a place of safekeeping-at least twenty-four hours before the
boys had planned to carry out their scheme. And none of the men's efforts did
suffice to find these things or their hiding-place.
Several months later. one night, several cloaked forms crept into the col­
lege building, and carried away the chair also. When it was conveyed to the
rendezvous, the " ilent Ten" hacl in their possession all the A. C. L. S. furniture.
They had also proved their entire superiority as sleuths and--. (Herc the MS.

Long before it was the season for tennis-playing. some enthusiastic ad­
herents of this wholesome sport. were to be seen playing with racket and ball
on a court still muddy, and with lines that were far from straight; and also,
far from being the correct length and shape. The enthusiasm of these few grew,
and as Lhe court became drier, it was raked off and put into fairl.v good shape.
But the number of the players increased to such an extent that it was found
advisable to repair the other court also. Loam was hauled on and spread by
means of an improvised drag. To pack the courts was the next question, but
"Necessity is the mother of creation." Out in that mysterious realm, the "Gym''
was discovered a big water tank, that by reason of a "cold snap" had a huge
crack in it. Through this aperture. dirt was poured till the tank was heavy
enough for all purposes. After thi • was rolled over the courts, they looked
fairly respectable. But. alas! people, when going by the college, were accus­
tomed to take a short cut, that unfortunately ran across the courts! In wet
weather, their tracks dug up the carefully-prepared ground to such a degree
that it was deemed necessary to build a fence acros one side, and high wire back­
stops along both ends. o now we have two courts of correct dimensions, and
in fairly good shape.
During the first of the sea~on. the number of players was limited because
of the rule: "J\ o tennis-playing while there are recitations going on in the col-Page 78
lege." But after due deliberation, the faculty, in order to encourage exercise,
and give those who were not able to play in the evening a chance to play dur­
ing the clay, made an amendment: "Whosoever keeps his grades to an average of
eighty, may be permitted to play tennis in any of his vacant periods.·•
The enthusiasm is running high this year, ancl being favored with fine
weather, all get out and play. Perhaps that is too strong a statement, but it is a
fact that those who do not play acid inspiration to the players in the capacity of
enthusiastic spectators. One interested lad. who never so much as wields a tennis
racket, got busy, one evening, and raked up all around the court, and also made
a bench, so that he will have a place to sit when he watches the game.
At present the outlook is very bright. l\egotiations are under way to secure
several matches with other colleges. Some time in May there will be a local
tournament, at which time the High school will be invited to join. The latest
excitement was a match between the College and the Academy. The faculty.
I suppose jealous of not having a chance to mix up in things. have challenged
the winners. and a live match is anticipated. Amid congenial surroundings. and
with a fresh new spring. fortune seems to have smiled on tennis in Albany
College. STA~LEY \'A~ WINKLE,

History of Albany College.
It is not easy to state accurately all the influences that led to the establish­
ment of Albany College. Undoubtedly, some helped in starting this institution,
whose names will never be known. The ::\Ionteith brothers, \i\falter and Thomas,
who settled in Albany in an early day, come in for a share of recognition, as also
does the Reverend E. R. Geary, D. D., and the members of the Pre!-bytery of
Oregon, as it was called at that time, and hundreds of Albany's best citizens.
Dr. Geary came to this State with a double commission, one to start churches
and one to establish a college or academy whenever and wherever he felt condi­
tions justified the step.
Some interesting facts are here culled from Rev. E. N. Condit"s history,
"The Presbytery of Oregon.'· :\lr. Condit was twice President of the College,
and took a keen interest in its history and development.
As early as 1855 tendencies for the founding and developing of an educa­
tional work began to manife t themselves. The Presbytery resolved to take pre­
liminary steps for the establishment of a Presbyterial Academy, and appointed
a committee to receive proffers of donations of land or cash. One year later
the Presbytery learned officially that the church of Clatsop Plains had raised by
donations and subscriptions, 300 acres of land and sufficient lumber to ere<..,
necessary buildings, and would contribute $300 in cash annually for five years,
whereupon it was resolved to approve the action. But this child never came
nearer birth. In September, 1860, there was a sale of a college in Corvallis,
called the Corvallis College. A committee from J-'resbytery attended the sale
and offered as high as $4000, but the 11. E. Church South bid $50 higher, and
secured the college.
At that time there was a private school in Corvallis conducted by the Rev.
H. Avery, a Presbyterian minister. and the Presbytery by official action took
that under its care. They went even so far as to appoint trustees, and a spe­
cial committee to raise funds for its maintenance, and to raise it to a standard
conformable to other Presbyterian schools. But, strange to say, we hear nothing
further of this. How nearly we came to settling in Corvallis! But this is not
:.ill. It seems that the church had its eye on Corvallis still, for in 186+ a com­
mittee was appointed consisting of 1'1 essrs. Mylie and Geary, to look into the ad­
visability of establishing a High school under the care of Presbytery, and cor­
respond with the Board of Education in the East relative to help in the matter.
The next year this committee reported that they had purchased the Corvalli:;
College for $2150. A committee was appointed to collect the funds necessary,
borrow the required money, if necessary, and foster the new enterprise. This
attempt also came to grief.
ln January, 1866, another committee was appointed to take tJ1e proper steps,
and receive proposals to start the college. About this time Albany began to
wake up. It was no small thing for them to do what they proposed. They called
a mass meeting in the courthouse, and at that time the l\Iontieth brothers came
forward with an offer of land, and the citizens responded with a subscription of
$8000. At a subsequent meeting, it was decided that the new college should be
Presbyterian. Page 80
The first building was a plain, two-story, frame structure. 50x66 feet, with a
fine, big tower on it, in which the students loved to gather. The view of the
valley was very fine. The back part of the present main building. south of the
staircase, is the original. old building. The contractor just took off the old front
and attached the new part to the old. This was done in 1892, while "1Ir. Condit
was still President. The money for it was raised by subscription from all over
the State, but principally from .\lbany. It amounted in all to something ove;
$71,000. But the following two years were the times of money panic, when
uanks all over the country went to the wall. Every day, the papers reported
a new list of closed banks. Albany shared in this, somewhat, although two of
her banks remained firm amid the crash on all sides. But the subscription list
went to pieces, and very little of what had not been paid was ever recovered.
This thrust the College into debt. It took a good many years to emerge from it.
It was like a pall hanging over the College. and crippling its every endeavor.
But somewhere about the year 1900 or 1901 the last cent of the debt was paid,
and, as usual. Albany came to the front handsomely. raising in one day some­
thing like $-1000 toward the final extinction of the debt. The Presbyterians from
all over the State took a hand in the movement. the churches raising $5000,
and the First Church of Portland, under the magic leader hip of its pastor, Rev.
Edgar P. Hill, giving the remainder. Tho e were dark days in the years im­
mediately following the panic of 1893--+. but the Lord led us out into the sun­
shine again, and the College in the meantime never for a day quit working at
the job of doing as good college work as was being clone in the State.
In 1898 the General 1\ssembly of the Presbyterian Church, in session, air
pointed a committee to look into all the Presbyterian colleges and determine by
actual examination if they were all up to the standards approved by the foremost
educators of the church. A that time Albany College passed muster hand­
somely, coming out with hearty approval.
It is hardly fair to the Presbyterian Church to close this article without
mentioning the part il has played through the College Board. Without the an­
nual help received from this ource the College would have had to close its doors
a dozen times in its history. For something like 25 years, the church has paid
annually varying sums toward the current expenses of the College. from $1000
up. For many year it paid $2000, which would be the interest on $50,000 at
i per cent. And if the aggreagte of a\\ its gifts were known, they wou\d un­
doubtedly mount to over $-W,0C0 in cash. This is no small amount. and the Col­
lege owes it to the church and to its friends to make this fact known, and let
all the Oregon friends know. that the relation of the church to the College is
not merely a nominal one.
For the past three or four years, the authorities have been putting special
attention to the raising of an endowment. and at present it looks as if the efforts
will be crowned with success. A 11 the friends. former teachers and scholars of
the College, from all over the Coast, are interested in seeing the College take on
new Ii fe, and hope that a handsome endowment will be raised. and the fuh1re
of the College assured. WALLACE H. LEE.

The Endowment.
"I don't know about your problems of campus and buildings; you've got to
regulate those yourselves. l3ut 1 do know that any institution must have $250,000
of endowment to live, and if it gets that amount it won't die. I am interested
in endowment."
The financial institutions of the country learned years ago to take the
words of Mr. James J. 1 fill as authority on matters pertaining to the financing of
railroads. Jt is a very significant fact that ~Ir. Hill not only believes in the de­
nominational college, but believes so entirely in it that he is determined to help
establish such institutions so that they cannot <lie. The above words are ~Ir.
Hill's own.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars· endowment is not enough to fur­
nish funds to operate the college that Albany College is destined to become. Httt
$250,000 guarantees the life of the in titution and furnishes such a beginning as
will enable those who wish to invest large sums in Christian education to put
their money to work in our institution. Hence, practically all the effort that
is to be put forth in securing of the funds for the upbuilding of Albany College.
will be devoted to the single purpose of raising the $250,000 that will be neces­
sary to meet the condition fixed by the large-minded and farseeing l\Ir. Hill, Page 82
when he pledged himself to aid Albany College to the extent of $50,000. I have
the personal hope that this money will be secured by December 31, 1912, and
my own conviction is shared by those who know best the minds of some who
have been largely interested in our work during the last few years.
The purchase of the beautiful tract of forty acres, so splendidly situated, and
especially so, considering the railroad building planned so near it, has shown
to many of our friends, who perhaps may not have had just exactly our own
vision before, that Albany College aspires to have, eventually, a campus and a
r.omplete modern plant second to none in the Nort11west, in its perfectness of
adaptation to the work planned. 1t will not be a university plant with its many
buildings for technical work and its facilities for research, but we do not expect
to erect a single building of cheap material or of hurried construction, and we
hope to have every one as perfect in architecture and as harmonious with a
well chosen plan as is possible in this day of fireproof, permanent buildings.
I emphasize that it is to be a college plant. I shall be content to have Al­
bany College remain a comparatively small college (I mean less than four or
five hundred students), but I shall not be content if Albany College is not
thorough in all its work, and Christian in all its influence.
The things that I am glad to say concerning our intended work as simply
these:
1. That we hope to have $250,000 endowment by December 31, 1912.
( Sixty-six thousand dollars of the $200.000 necessary to raise are in hand in
either cash or pledges.)
2. That we hope to have on our new campus three buildings of modern
architecture and perma11ent type by September I, 1913, or at least a year later.
I am very glad that we are to have associated with us in the future as Pro­
fessor of Biblical Literature, the Rev. Dr. W. D. Ferguson, fonnerly of Pacific
University at Forest Grove, Oregon, who will for some time devote his unusual
energy and ability to the financial work of the College. Dr. Ferguson is ex­
perienced in financial work and will be invaluable in his own work and in the
councils of the institution.
Perhaps a final word needs to be said. While a number of very benevolent
11nd esteemed friends of Christian education have been interested in Albany Col­
lege within the past few years by work done in the East, and are expected to
help largely in the forward movement of the College; yet the greatest argument
to be brought to bear upon them for Albany College, and the greatest present
need for the institution, is to receive the largest possible aid from the givers witTi­
in the State of Oregon. I believe that if our plans succeed we must secure sub­
scriptions in Oregon for endowment and for buildings to the extent of at least
$150,000 by September, 1913.
Through this new organ of the Albany College Student Body, 1 am glad to
prophesy rapid financial success for the college you in your loyal natures truly
love. I congratulate you on the enterprise of this new publication, and beg to say
again that this College exists for you and will be judged by the beauty and
efficiency of your Christian service and not by its buildings and campus.
With every good wish, I am, friend to you all,

On the evening of J\"ovember 21. l\'fiss Jrvine was at home to the Y. W. C. A.
This was the annual entertainment which she always gives for the girls. As
usual, she served a very delicious lunch, after which the lights were turned off
a.nd ghost stories were told while everyone sat around the fireplace. At a late
hour the party dispersed, all having spent a splendid evening.
On the evening of December 4, the Dorm. girls were asked by Miss Ander­
~on and Miss Houck to assist in giving a linen shower as a surprise for Miss
Adna Smith, who had been one of the Dormitory family for a year and a half,
and who was soon to leave for a new home. Beautiful handkerchiefs, one from
each girl, were hung on a long line. and the greater part of the evening was spent
in hemming towels of all kinds, for the linen-chest of the bride-elect. Dainty
refreshments were served by the hostesses.
Not content to shower with linen alone, the girls decided to give a novel tin
shower on the second morning before Miss Smith should leave. Each girl was
indirectly instructed to purchase one or as many more articles of tin or granite
ware as she wished. For several clays mysterious packages were smuggled into
the hall, and, curiously enough. tmsuspecting parties consigned them all to the
rommon class of "Christmas gifts." At 6 :30 the next morning. the girls, in
kimonos and armed with tinware of all sorts. slip1Jed clown the dark stairway to
Miss Smith's door. Strange was the sound of the rising bell that morning, as
they burst into the room in a pandemonium of shouting, laughing and clanging
of pans. Hardly was the hostess ( ?) awake when the entire heap of tinware
was piled upon her cot. When the surprise was fairly over. the girls trooped
back, wishing her the quiet of more peaceful slumber in future years.
Another enjoyable affair as the Dorm was a chafing dish breakfast. given
in their room by the Misses Gertrude and Hazel Young. as an initiation for their
new chafing-dish. About 8 o'clock on the morning of January 14. girls in ki­
monas and flying braids were seen gravitating toward the southeast room at
the end of the hall. The guests were seated on cushions about the tahle. and
were served with eggs. toast. chocolate. cake. candv and other "goodies" for
which boarding-school girls have a peculiar fancy. Guests were the Misses Ina
Hansen, Ruth Smith, and Amy Olmsted.
Professor Clutter has been honored several times bv receiving little "troph-
ies" from a certain, unknown ( ?) , fair damsel, called Flora Dora.
Glenn Taylor-"Golly."
Gertie Taylor-"Gee, but you swear."
On the evening of February 9, Miss Anderson entertained at Tremont Hall.
Since it was the close of the first semester exams .. she gave one of those famous
''slumber parties," to relieve the girls of all thoughts of school. The guests as­
sembled at 8 o'clock. and were lured down to "Dreamland." When the party
arrived at the Hall the second time. they donned kitchen aprons. and helped with
a chafing-dish "feed." It was decided by lot with whom each girl was to sleep.
Not until the "wee, sma' hours of the night'' were thev ready to seek their downv
couches. They were awakened the next morning bv the familiar clang of the old
bell that stands on the stairs. After "morning eats" the crowd departed.
Those enjoying this occasion were: The l\'Iisses :\Iargaret ~fonteith. Gertie
Taylor, Marv Colter, Buena Bicknell, Kathryn Stewart. Amy Olmstead. Ruth
Smith, Eva Cushman, Gladys Clement, Gertrude Young, Anita Schultz and Dana
Cushman.
Magnolia White appears at the door of Dr. Franklin's room, and says: Page 84
"Winifred Rood is wanted at the phone." Winifred goes out, and Magnolia
meets her with the question: ··:\tay l borrow your tennis shoes?"'
The long days of the Semester holidays were shortened by two most enjoy~
able evenings in the nature of ··Jubilees, .. which were held in the Gymnasium.
It took only the word ··come" to bring all the students and many of their friends.
Old-fashioned games of childhood days were played, and the room resounded with
the old tune of •• London llriclge, ·• •• 1\1 iller Lsoy," •• Pig-in-the Parlor," and ''Vir­
ginia H.ee1,·· until a late hour. Miss J Louck was the chaperone and proved de­
lightful in the initiation of new games. '1 he students provided themselves with
punch, wafers and chating-dishes in which ca11dy was made. "The '·Jubilees''
were pronounced the most enjoyable attairs of the season.
1-.Iisses Ruth Smith and .-\my Olmsted were hostes es at a "feed" in their
room on January 12. The girls a sembled at the ringing of the bell. After a
jolly feed about the chafing-dish, of creamed chicken, patties, sandwiches, cake,
marshmallows, chocolate, and candy, the crowd was ••flashed" with a camera.
c.)ne of the proverbial and hilariously welcomed boxes had come the previous
day from 1\1 i s Smith ·s mother, and the guests remained until a late hour enjoying
the delicious ··things from home ...
One night Floyd Lawton wanted some milk. He decided the quickest way
to get it would be to swipe some. So he boldly went up on someone's porch and
took a bottle which he saw standing there. Soon he was heard exclaiming: '·Gee,
but this milk doc. taste funny."· Afterwards he found that it had been there for
ten days.
Miss Anderson, in order to put the college classes on terms of good-fellow­
~hip, on the evening of l•ebruary L~, entertained the Seniors and Sophomores. The
evening was ·pent in writing original poetry and prophetic narratives. After
being served with dainty refreshments. the party dispersed.
Arthur Jone thought he would like to have another Y. M. C. A. conference.
After the one at Ilalsey, he said: ··\ly, but l like these Y. M. C. A. meetings in
,;mall towns. Being college fellows and dressing up a little sporty, you make a
hit with the girls. And being Y. 1\1. C. 1\. boys it's all right with their fathers."
Kate Stewart would like to have omeone explain to her the difference be­
tween a boy putting his am, around a tree and around a girl.
Dr. and 1lrs. Franklin entertained the Literary Societies at their home on
March 3. A program of musical numbers, original poetry, and impromptu
!'peeches was well rendered. A prize of a book, '· Upon the Sun Road," sketches
from John F. Ilurst"s sermons, edited by 11 rs. 1· ranklin, was awarded Miss Olm­
,;ted for the best animal torn from a sheet of paper. After dainty refreshments,
Lhe guest· lingered over the interesting pictures and curios, and listened with
delight to the account of Dr. Franklin's trip through the California mountains.
There was a jolly ··feed'' in the biology room on March 26. The crowd had
taken advantage of the full 1110011 and had gone to bridge, but returned about 10
o"clock to purchase the "eats." On the forbidden territory of the Biology room,
behind drawn blinds and locked doors. the jollification held forth until they were
informed by mysterious ways that Monday Club would probably be of short dura­
tion that night and that it was nearly half-past ten. We only know that the next
morning disclo eel a room not so much in order as Professor Clutter is accus­
romed to keep it, and there were traces of peanuts plus many other things on the
floor. Surely the crowd did nothing other than sit quietly eating until someone
informed them that it was time for the Dorm girls" departure.
Professor Torbet: ··r hope to hear of the greatness of Mr. Lacy, Mr.
Easton, lvl r. I lodge, and the rest of you girls over there."
Miss Eva Cushman entertained in honor of Miss Rhoda Stalnaker on the
evening of April 6. While Miss Cushman displayed her art in the brewings of Page 85
the chafing-dish the guests profitably discussed flirtation and true love. The chief
event of the evening was the chasing of the two Arthurs, who boldly entered
the basement of the Dorm, and attempted to help themselves to the refreshments.
But, as usual, the girls outwitted them, and saved their feed. The invited guests
were: The Mis es Rhoda Stalnaker, Kate Stewart, Buena Bicknell, Amy Olm­
Head, Ruth Smith, Nita Schultz, Dana Cushman, Lucille Ilart, and Miss An­
derson.
On Friday evening, April 7, the l\lisses Hazel and Gertrude Young, Ruth
Jones, and lna Hansen entertained at Tremont llall, giving a chafing-dish party.
Their guests were: Messrs. Arthur Jones, Lewis Jones, Arthur Hodge and Ale<..
McLean.
When Mrs. Flo was asked for a joke on Mr. Flo, she said: "\,Yell, he got
married; that"s the biggest joke l know.•·
Friday and Saturday nights, of course, are the times when the girls are
free. Remembering this, on the afternoon of April 21, Ruth Jones and Haze,.
Young used the kitchen stove for several hours. That evening, which is un­
fortunately A. C. L. S. night, two fellows by the name of Arthur, seemed strange­
ly anxious that there be no meeting. 1 hinking that there was "something up," a
third boy watched and soon discovered the two on the grandstand in the Athletic
Field. Presently the two girls, armed with a cake and a pan of candy, started
rlown town to do some shopping: but somehow they changed their minds, and
went out to the Athletic } ield to enjoy the beautiful evening. So it was purely
accident ( ?) that these four met and had a little feed all by themselves.
At a party on Tuesday evening, April 27, Misses Nita Schultz and Eulah
Wright announced the engagement of Miss Grace Swank to Mr. Victor Yates.
This romance began at Albany College, so it is of particular interest to the
students. We feel that each of these young people is really one of us, having
been with us for some time until the past year. }or this reason, all will continue
to be interested, and will want to lit:ar of their prosperity ··down on the farm."
Miss Houck was recently heard to exclaim one day: "Oh, see the clouds;
aren't they sweet?"
A spread was held in Tremont Hall, Room 20, April 14, When Miss Ruth
Smith invited several of her girl friends to spend the evening with her. This was
another chafing-dish affair, such as have grown so popular with the girls of the
school. Those enjoying the hospitality of Miss Smith were: The Misses Eva and
Dana Cushman, Kate Stewart, Nita Schultz, Lucille Hart, Miss Anderson, and
Mrs. Flo.
The Con~ervatory has developed into a Matrimonial Bureau, since it has
... veraged two weddings in each of the past two years, and has a good prospect
for two next year.
In Bible class, when looking over the plan of the Temple of Jerusalem,
Stanley Van Winkle noticed the great !aver near the Holy of Holies, and asked:
'"What's that washbasin doing up there?"
When Ruth Jones and Hazel Young were asked how they distinguished be­
tween the two Arthurs, Ruth said: '·Well, I'll tell you; I always say 'MY Arthur'
and 'Your Arthur.' "
The Dorm girls with Mrs. Johnson, Della Johnson, and Mabel Harder were
the guests during a delightful evening on May 1, when Mi s Houck entertained
in honor of her sister, Mrs. "Williams. of MclVrinnville. The girls were asked to
rome with scissors and pencils, and the evening was spent writing descriptions
and drawing pictures of the girls present, from which they guessed the girl
suggested by the description or drawing. Other stunts were the making of paper Page 86
hats from tissue paper, and the imitating of another girl by some peculiar char­
acteristic of that girl. Both of these amusements produced much mirth. Mrs.
johnson was presented with a small tack-hammer as a prize for the most clever
and attractive creation of millinery. The hostess served dainty refreshments,
which included one of her mother's delicious cakes that the girls have come to
welcome heartily to the Dom,. The entire evening proved one of the happiest
the guests had known this semester.
Arthur Jone ( on puppy love) : ''I want to scatter my puppy love out, so it
won't get too thick in any one place.'' (Later): ''I've changed my policy."
In Sunday school class. Reade Dowlin (Bible in hand): ''Where is Jonah?"
Lewis Jones: ''We don't know: he is dead."

AN IDEAL ROOM
ls not only possible in every home, but it is possible to have every room ideal. This
may be effected by proper furniture and arrangement. Most all stuffy rooms are stuffy
from the fact that the furniture does not harmonize. Haven't you been in a house that
has an atmosphere of comfort and pleasantness and harmony which made you feel
very different? There is nothing: so important in filling up a home as discrimination
in selecting your furniture. Come in and let us µrove this to you. You can readily
see for yourself, how, if some of our stock were installed in your house, they would
complete your assortment and transform the appearance of that stuffy room.
