Most delightful was the evening Of
last week, Friday, when the third-year
academy class of Willamette univer-
sity entertained the members of the
fourth-year class in the Philodorian
and Philodosian halls. Flowers and
ferns were used for decorating. For
entertainment were games, silhou-
ette contest and a ridiculous attempt
Of two boys at feeding each other
bread and milk with a spoon, their
eyes blindfolded This was most
comical and called forth shouts of APP
plause. The complimented members
of the fourth-year class were: Miss
Genevieve Avison, Mrs. Ruth Price
and Mr.. Pinkham Gilbert. The enter
tainers were Miss Clara Perkins, Miss
Rosamond Gilbert, Miss Helen Wastel,
Miss Junia Todd, Miss Hazel Downing,
Miss Helen Blackwell, Miss Dorothy
Schasse, Miss Carrie Cooksey, Miss
Clara Moore, Miss Aetna Emmel, Miss
Lois Ashby, Miss Esther Emmel, Hen
ry Richter, Martin Schneider, Wesley
Todd, 0rval Johnson, James Dutro,
Clifford Cordier, Howard Ransom, Roy
Snyder, Clarence Forbes, c. r. Belts,
Guy Johnson, w. M. Bartlett Addi-
tional guests were Mr.. Burgess Ford,
Of Lebanon; Mr.. f. Douglass, Mr..
Hawley and Mr. Wight. Mrs. F. H.
Thompson and Miss Stella Chappell
were chaperones for the delightful
evening.
An audience that overflowed the
Christian church last Tuesday evening
listened with pleasure to pupils from
the blind school while they sang their
way cheerily through a pretty little
tale, entitled "a Nautical Knot, or the
Belle of Barnstapoole," an operetta in
two acts. The pupils were assisted
by Miss Neddie Roberts, Miss Beulah
Roberts and Miss Katie Mize, Mr.. T. S.
Roberts was director of music and
played the entire score. The stage
work could not have moved more
smoothly, nor could seeing people
have occupied their positions more
gracefully. No line was forgotten and
no cue overlooked. Decorations were
truly nautical, and anchor, seines,
life preservers, oars and coils of
rope were used about the audito-
rum and on the stage. The sailors
appeared in true nautical garb which
was most becoming and the pretty
girls of Barnstapoole wore white light
blue and pale pink frocks. All the
songs had been thoroughly rehearsed
and the voices we'll drilled.
AS Julia, the naughty belle Of Barn
stapoole, Miss Marguerite Flower,
dainty little maiden with a sweet,
clear, soprano voice of very high
range, sang her numbers beautifully
and this can be repeated of Miss Nell
lie Roberts, as Nance, who possesses
sweet contralto Particularly at
tractive was little Veda Miller who
carried the role of Daisy, with the
daintiest acting, singing like a bird.
The sailors were all good in the parts
assigned them. Especial mention
might be made Of Raymond Leahy, as
Bill Salt, boatswain of the Bounding
Billow, Laurence Stutt, wandering
artist, Frank Saunders, mate of the
Bounding Billow, and Thomas Cuts
forth, as Jack Brace, who called forth
much applause. While all of the
songs were entertaining, among the
numbers most enjoyable were, "The
Day Is Fair" Love Is Full of JOY"
Love That Tarries,' "A Mermaid
Fair" 1--WE Are Artists Down from
Town" Gin Sunny Spain" Mr.. Rob
erts is to be congratulated upon the
excellent rendition Of this little oper-
eta, which under his direction was
presented as a closing feature Of the
years work in the state school for the
blind. The two graduates are Miss
Marguerite Flower, Of Falls City, Or
egon, and John Radmaker, Of Port
