WHAT BECOMES OF THE
COLLEGE GIRL.

EVA EMERY DYE, OREGON CITY.
What becomes of the college girl,
The girl of the cap and the gown?
Does she sit apart, aloft, alone,
A useless princess on throne,
Wrapped in her own renown?
What becomes of the college girl,
The girl of lofty thought?
Let our school rooms speak where day
by day
Young pulsing hearts of plastic clay
Are into beauty wrought.
What becomes of the college girl,
The girl of mother heart?
At the cradle side she kneels with pride.
Her willing hands by love are tied
To life's divinest art.
What becomes of the college girl,
The girl of book and pen?
She is training sons the future great,
Creating heroes for the state,
A mother unto men.
What becomes of the college girl,
The girl of classic hall?
In social walk or civic strife,
In church or school or home her life
Uplifts and sweetens all.
What becomes of the college girl,
From college classes flown?
Praise spoils her not nor blame dismays.
Her cultured breadth gives power to
raise
A standard of her own.
What becomes of the college girl,
The girl of purpose broad?

charity ball committee for the check for

ton, and to add a few words in emphatic
assurance of the society's hearty appre-
citation of the committees zeal and labors.
to which the above munificent remittance
bears witness.
The promoters of the charity bail must
be by this time familiar with the voice of
congratulation, and the public has not
surely left them In doubt of its gratitude
Tor the opportunity for enjoyment and
the brilliant scene offered to it on the eve
ming of December TO- 1897.
But we are sure they will be chiefly
gratifed by the ample measure in which
their charitable object was realized. and
their undertaking thus convincingly iusti-
fed.
In the workings Of the Employment So
ciety the helping power of each dollar is
directly seen, and while gratefully ac-
knowledging the generosity Of the COM
mittee in permitting us to reap the reward
of their labors, we feel able to give the
confident promise that it shall be put to
the best possible use.
Very truly yours,

to the large number of students vino
were in training. When Capt Butler
issued his call for candidates, a week
ago tomorrow, he hoped that a good
number would respond His fondest
hopes, however. did not place the num-
Der nearly so large as it proved On
some afternoons as many as 70 of the
students have been training at their
faVorite events. This number was, of
course, far too unwieldly and. with so
many, effective work was almost inn
possible. 1t was for this reason that
Capt. Butler decided to have the trials
Saturday afternoon, and thus decrease
the number.
Some of the boys who tried for the
places Saturday afternoon could not do
their best performances, and so are
crowded out altogether. 1t always takes
some boys considerably longer to get
into shape than others, and it was the
members of that class who found it
hard to hold their own against their RI
walls who had rounded into fairly de-
cent shape with only a few days work
Capt. Butler appreciates this fact, but,
under the circumstances, he had no all
