as You think you are. You must have

a. Has the referee the power to
decide that the relay counts no points

MedfOrd Contention
Reported UnsOund

In the Medford-Ashland track meet
which occurred a week ago Saturday
there was much dispute by the Med
ford people as to several matters of
judging the races. Medford did not
want to count the relay race as a
gamer of points, but Professor
Moore's firm stand carried the day.
However, Professor Moore, after
the race, wrote letter to the sport
ing editor of the Oregonian and re-
ceived back his letter with the an
swers to his questions written in, as
follows
Ashland, Ore, May is, 1914.

Big Gathering at Alumni Banquet.
The Alumni banquet Saturday
night was one of the biggest social
events of the year, especially for the
class of 1914.
The guests gathered at the Moose
hall, and there the first part of the
evening was occupied with the regu-
lar business meeting. The officers
elected for the coming year were:
President, Ienas Moody; vice-pfesi-
dent, Francis Briggs; secretary, Es-
ther Whited. Miss Madge Eubanks,
the president Of the Alumni, gave an
address of welcome to the new mem
bers. Billie Briggs expressed the ap-
probation OF the class of IA for the
unsparing efforts that were made by
the Alumni for their entertainment.
After the business meeting the new
members were put through their
stunts. Sections of the class were
put up and had to sing such old
| school day songs as The Duke of
Yorkshire" and others that were
equally ludicrous. Chow" distin-
guished himself in Come, Little
Leaf, Said the Wind One Day" Proc
Klum and Leila Mitchell sang a
touching little duet entitled Little
Redbird in a Tree" much to the
amusement of the listeners. These
songs and stunts were very unique
and occasoned a great deal of laugh
| ter and fun.
Following the stunts time for the
renewing of acquaintance was given,
and there was much shaking of
hands and greeting of old friends.
There were three of the class Of '93
present, namely, Mrs. PerozEi, Prof.
Irving Vining and Miss Susie Homes.
At about 10 o'clock the Alumni, old
and new, betook themselves to the
Oregon Hotel dining room, where the
banquet was served. The tables were
arranged in the form of big H and
were decorated beautifully with roses
and flowers. Unique place cards
were provided in the form OF the let
ter A, with the name written across
the bar.
The scene was frightened by the
| beautiful dresses which were evident
on the flower of Ashland's pretty
girls and women that were assem-
bled. The dining room was prettily

The commencement exercises of
the class of 1914 were of the best
that have ever been held in the city
of Ashland. The Chautauqua build
ing was filled to overflowing with
people interested in the graduating
class. The program of the evening
was of the best and all numbers were
of the highest order.
The program was as follows:
Orchestra, over the Waves" Rosas
Invocation ... Rev. Schwimley
Girls Quartet, Summer Days.
Glass history. .. Margaret Siemantel
and Otto Klum.
Address. .......... Irving Z. Vining
Orchestra, Someone. Waldteufel
Boys Quartet, Friendship" Parks
Presentation of diplomas ....
...... Superintendent Briscoe
Orchestra, Hero of the Isthmus"
............... Lampe
The orchestra did exceedingly well
under the direction of Horace Reno.
Both the girls and boys quartets
deserve special mention in the way
they sang. The class history was
read by Margaret Siemantel in
most attractive way. Her voice car
ried so well over the building and
her infection was so good that it
was a pleasure to hear her read the
bright prophecies of the rest of the
class. Professor Otto Klum of the
class of IA and Miss Siemantel COM
piled the history, greatly to their
credit.
was the elimination of the art of
speaking. His personal magnetism
swayed the audience throughout his
address. His thoughts were straight
forward, simple and clear they drove
home to every heart. In summing
up his address he gave the following
advice to the outgoing class, and
truly it is advice which, if followed
would bring the success of happiness
to every one:
Never think you cannot do a thing
Aim your ambitions as high as posi-
BILE. Never feel satisfied with woul
achievements, but alyays feel tha
you can do it better. Don't rest OIL
the merit of what you have done
Strive to conquer more until the enc
of your strength. Always be the Civ
er of a smile to your friends, anC
you will have made the world grea

of despair and discouragement lie

School Gathering
At Springs

The school gathering at the Was-
ner school house was one of the most
successful of its kind held in the
country this summer. The schools to
take part were Wagner Creek, Pilot
Rock, Siskiyou, Dead Indian, Pine
hurst and Neil Creek. Everybody
brought their basket lunches and en-
ioyed the picnic at the grounds. The
different schools contributed part OF
the program and it was indeed very
fine. Mr.. Robert Peachey is the
teacher of the Wagner Creek school
and has conducted it very successful
ly. Professor Briscoe gave an inter-
esting talk on the different phases of
school life.

During the last course the toast
master. Prof. Irving Vining, started
the ceremonies of the evening after
an interesting talk by himself on the
meaning of the Alumni meeting, by
calling on Miss Susie Homes of the
class of '93 to give a toast to the
alumni Latchstring," which she did
with the greatest of success. Then
followed toast by Billie Briggs to
the Babies of Nineteen Fourteen. a"
The rest of the toasts were as fol-
lows: "A Quaff of A. II. S. Spirit, "
by Mrs. Perozzi Spot Lights" Prof.
Briscoe; It's the Same Old Moon -
Lynn Mowat; ITO the Standard Bear
ers of the Red and White, Our Teach
ers," R. l.. Burdic, Jr.; High School
Buzz" Harold Merrill; Our Garden
of Girls" John Enders; "Old Grade, "
Esther Whited; ITO the Old Glory
and the New" Elizabeth Wagner.
The evening banquet was one of
much social enjoyment, being void of
the stiffness which usually accom-
panies such evenings. Everybody
turned in and let care go its way,
forgot il, and chatted with friends
and old acqualntances. The toasts
were all full OF feeling, yet combined
with humor and good laugh once
in while. Prof. Vining was, of
course, the ideal toastmaster and
kept everything lively with his hui
morous hits and the polished senti-
ments which he expressed.
There were about eighty in attend
ance The banquet drew to a close
slightly after the hour, of 12.
