EVENTS
oratory Recital.

The graduating recital Of the class
Of 1905, College Of Oratory, Willamette
University, Monday evening was one Of
the delightful college events this sea-
son. The chapel was filed with large
numbe- of friends, and many were
turned away.
The stage was deliberately decorated,
the background being a solid mass Of
green, while arches Of ivy and clumps
Of ferns made it look like a woodland
bower.
The first number on the program was
an Emerson gesture drill, led by Miss
johnson, and was very interesting.
The young ladies were gownod in
graceful Grecian robes, and their work
was good.
Edgar Averill gave two readings,
which was one Of the features Of the
evening The first was "Cutting
from "The Virginian," and Mr..
Averill brought out the situations Of
the piece in a manner which was much
enjoyed. He also gave the laughable
monologue, "Pro and Con-" which
shows Mr.. Averill at his best. The
audience laughed, and laughed again.
Miss Gertrude johnson, the other
graduate, was also at her best Monday
evening. The monologue "The Music
ale," was most laughable, and won
great applause from the audience. She
showed her wonderful versatility in her
reading GAS the Moon Arose." which
was deeper selection than her first.
She brought out the pathos and feeling
TO her best advantage.
Miss johnson and Mr.. Averill also
gave scene from "Catiline," by Gro
ley, and that famous scene showed the
training and study which these two
students have put in their work.
The musical part Of the program was
also very interesting Miss Nina John
son sang "a Gypsy Maiden /" in her
usual charming manner. and Miss Nina
Bushnell gave a piano solo which was
much enjoyed.
The closing number was given by II
young ladies, attired in Greek cos.
tunes, with powdered hair. They gave
"a Dream of Ancient Greece" or 3
series of Green tableaux, which were
very fine. Mrs. Nellie Varley acted as
accompanist.
