/ Newsy Notes.
The annual excursion to Newport
which is given by the senior class
of the OAC, will start from the c..
& E. depot Saturday May Fl at
six o'clock. The senior excursion
is one of the principal featuresis the
the college, and always draws a
large crowd, not only from the stu
dents but from the town people as
well. To a person who has never
been at Newport, the trip is worth
twice his money any time, for 1t is
given at the time of year when ma
ture is at her best. The hills and
mountains are covered with the
beautiful Rhododendron which
when mixed with the green of the
leaves, presents most beautiful
picture. The seniors are endeavor-
ing to make this excursion more
attractive than any before. The
college band has been engaged for
the day and will play during the
journey over and while on the
beach. One Of the principal fea-
lures of the day will be surf bathing
which is always enjoyed by a large
number of people. Do not hesi-
tate about going on account of it
being a good day because the SEN
iors have had their order in for a
good day a month ago. And only
