XXVI—NO. 20 Drama Club Will Present "Milestones" WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 2 5 , 1927 Many Interesting Facts Have Been Unearthed to Make Play Jovial. March IMP Dates Set Philomatheans Will Eat at Leopold Hotel Tomorrow Change of Time in Play Denoted by Costumes Conversation. Is "I bet" was almost "equal to swearing when Grandma was a girl; just as when a modern young girl exclaims, ——well, it isn't necessary to state just what she exclaims. Many such interesting details of life in the "60's" and "80's" have been unearthed by the cast of "Milestones," the Drama Club Play which will be presented Friday and Saturday nights, March 11 and 12. The struggle between youth and old age of which we hear so much today was quite in evidence back in the 'good old days.' However, as it • is true of most people, when these young people grew older they became more conservative until their children's actions were quite shocking and their grand children's ideas were very radical. Several Things Make Change The change of time is denoted, to a marked degree, by the costumes, the furniture, and the jtopics of conversation. The production committee and the. actons are working together in trying to make the atmosphere as characteristic of the time as possible. The lover of costume, plays will find lovely old hoop skirts, and the bustles, and modernists will enjojr the third act, which is quite up-to-date in its costume and setting. The whole play is full of comedy, quick action, and interest. Rehearsals Excellent. Rehearsals are coming along very rapidly and all the members of the cast are falling into 'their parts remarkably well, according to the coach, Miss Madden. /"The cast follows: John Rhead Bill Mock "Gertrude Rhead Olive Hardan Mrs Rhead Margaret Moore Samuel Sibley v..„ Ed Dingerson Rose Sibley Rella Ebeling jtfed Pym Jack Schneider Emily Rhead Nita Johnson -Arthur Preece Donald Stickney Nancy Sibley Elsa Pearl Lord Monkhurst Ralph Huff The Honorable Muriel Pym -June Wetherell Richard' Sibley Warren Boynton Webster Foster Kirk The scene throughout, is laid in the drawing room of a house in.Kensington Gore. . The first act is in the 60's. The second act is in the 80's. . The third act is in the. present time. , The annual banquet of the Philo Club,will be held in Tulip Room of the Leopold Hotel, February 26. This homecoming event will be one of the most impressive social affairs of the season. Former members and present members will attend the banquet. George Allez has consented to act as-toastmaster for the occasion. Committees in charge of the banquet are: Decoration, Emmeline Moss, chairman Byron DeBolt, Clara Liter, Kirvin Smith j Program, Robert Fisher, chairman, Irene Kendler, Clara Jacobsen, June Wetherell; Invitations, Arthur Adamson, chairman, Anna M#rie Cronin, -Harold Keeney; Menu and Banquet program, Thelma Butler, chairman, Rella Ebeling, Ruth Quaife; Tickets, Mary Ness, chairman, Jean Knowlton, Carrie Tucker.

Alice Endsley Is Circulation Manager Zoning is very Progressive System Insures A Beautiful and Progressive City and Increases Value. In order to stage a very successful sales drive for the "RED ARROW," the Members of the Scribes Club met Wednesday noon, and elected a circulation manager, Miss Alice Endsley. Present plans, according to her, are to the effect of making a campaign for advance selling of the magazine. With this in view, several associates have been delegated to look after different channels of the selling. The Alumni will be taken charge of by Nelson Robinson, the faculty by Myrtle Arnold, and the girls in Edens Hall by Alice Endsley. Nelson Robinson was elected business manager of the magazine at Wednesday's meeting. The publication, according to the editor, will be out about the 1 Oth of March. W. A. A. PLAY Get Ready For the Viking Vodvil Tryouts Clubs are asked to be ready for "Vodvil try-outs, which will be held Thursday and Friday, March 28th =and- 29th. In order to insure a variety of acts, it has been suggested that clubs report the type of act, .whether comic, dance or dramatic, which they are planning to present, to Andy McCall, manager of the Vodvil. This will eliminate 'useless delay at the tryout. The Vodvil will be held during the latter part of April. This is neces- :sary so that time may be given to prepare for the Tulip Festival, which will take place during the "first, part of May.' ; A;' " "Only six or seven acts will be chosen for the Vikipg Vodvil. This means work for the" clubs that want their act on the bill," says Andy Mc- •Call, Vodvil. manager. The committee of judges for the tryout will be. ^announced later. Under the auspices of the W. A. A., the faculty will present two one-act plays, "Food," and "A Bunch of Roses." At the same program the W . A. A. girls will entertain with an act of burlesque, satire, humor, or "what have you." The program will take place on the second (2nd) day of March, in the Auditorium. "Don't miss this! It's a scream!" "Our first problem in zoning is to find out what zoning means, what it takes in," said President Fisher, in speaking of the latest step toward establishing a zoning system in Bel-lingham. Mr. E. L. Gaines, former engineer and executive secretary of the Seattle zoning commission, and now engineer and executive secretary of the Seattle planning commission, addressed tlie Bellingham. zoning committee in their meeting, Thursday, February 17. Mr. Gaines' talk was on zoning and its problems. Mr. Gaines is considered the best informed man in this part of the country along this particular line. Mapping First Problem. The first thing to be done now is to get maps made. Several types of maps are necessary. There are "Area Maps,' showing the dimensions of lots occuiped by buildings; the •"'Height Map," showing the height of buildings; "Existing Conditions Map," showing buildings UOAV standing and the lots now vacant. This mapping must be done for the whole cjty and is one of the biggest problems confronting the commission. Estimates are now being made as to the cost of this mapping. Lack of funds to have the mapping done makes it considerably harder for the commission to get ••under way with its work. Funds must be provided before mapping can be started.

"Zoning insures the people security in their property. They know that no building or business house will go up, in any zone, that will lessen the value of property in that zone: The most progressive cities in the United States .are using the zoning plan. Bellingham is growing rapidly and zoning is a timely step that insures the. people a beautiful, well planned city for the future." If present plans materialize, the Bellingham State Normal School will have a program of debates with the College of Puget Sound, the Junior College at Mount Vernon, and the Badger Club, a debating club of the University of Washington. This proposed schedule of debates is found necessary, since the debates between the three state Normal schools have been abandoned. Miss Madden, coach of the Bellingham Normal debating team, explains that the discontinuance of the inter-Normal debates lias been due to the lagging of interest on the part of the Ellensburg Normal School, which, she believes, is due to their repeated defeat in the debate. The debate between the Bellingham- Normal and the Junior College at Mt. Vernon will be on the'theme of the "Modification of the Volstead Act. The date for this debate has not been set definitely as yet. The Badger Club of the University of Washington will take the same theme in the debates with the Normal arguers. Another proposal for a debate encounter has come from' the Women's .debate team at the College of Puget Sound, but the subject has not been selected. Miss Madden expresses optimistic view with regard to the success of the Bellingham Normal Debating team. This is due to her experience in previous debates where the Bellingham Normal has emerged victorious on most occassions. o Sophomore Party Tonight In Big Gym No, the gayly attired Italian gentlemen and ladies who have decorated the halls for the past few days are not going to a masquerade. They are the members of the cast of "The Gondoliers," the comic opera, presented in the auditorium tonight and tomorrow night by the Bellingham Civic Opera Company. Familiar faces are among the crowd, some of our own Normal students. John Kerr, for instance, whose part of the Duke of Plaza- Toro is, to put it quite mildly, the funniest character to gallivant across the Normal stage for many moons. A real gondola will sail across the stage, too, among the Italian scenery and the gay Italian singers. "The Gondoliers" promises to be a most interesting and pleasing program. A special students' rate of fifty cents has been made. EXTEMPOREIONTEST INITIAL EFFORT SUCCESSFUL Judging from the response of the students at the first tryout, the extempore S2)eech contest held at the Normal auditorium last week, was a decided success. Edna Smith, George Allez, and Sverre Arestad were voted winners by the judges. Six contestants, chosen from seventeen that participated in the first preliminary, took part at the competition held in the auditorium. Another preliminary will be held in the early part of the Spring quarter, accordingto Miss ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 February 25 - Page 2 ---------- few Published by StiKtehts' Association of.

Vernon Zachrison EDITORIAL COUNCIL Jessie Whitten Robert Fisher Ruth Sturman THRIFT A N D PLANNING There is an exceedingly noticeable improvement in the written matter that is to be printed in the Klipsun for the year '27. In addition to the betterment along the lines of composition the general make-up of the book shows an evident stride upward in taste and feeling of the aesthetic. This year the annual will endeavor to display an oriental atmosphere. That part of the Orient will be depicted which is known to the civilized world as China. Due to the fact that an early start was attained this year it is probable that the book will possess a better binding than last year's annual did. In all probability the printing will also be of better quality because the printers have the advantage of beginning work early. Last Thursday the first batch of material was sent to the Union Printing Company. Saturday a shipment of twenty-eight panels of Sophomore photographs were mailed to the Western Engraving Company in Seattle. It is estimated that at the end of the present quarter very little work will remain for the editor or her force. The early start is an achievement in itself. Due to the fact that the cost of producing, the annual increased considerably this year, we were grateful to get the extra fifty cents from the students. Under a system of careful planning—retarded occasionally by profound deliberation—the KJipsun board has successfully accomplished an almost impossible feat, namely, the adding of a few new features to the annual. By using but one color throughout the entire book, it has been possible to have an introductory page which is a great deal more elaborate than it has ever been before. The sports section will be more attractive and more extensive. . The cover design for this year's book has been designed by Margaret Burke. It is indeed a piece of art. The art work, depicting the atmosphere of the Orient has also been done by Miss Burke. A great deal of credit is due to the editor and the faculty advisor in selecting a jtaff as efficient and capable as the present one. Every member of the staff has put forth a conscientious effort to produce the annual. "The Private Life of Helen of Troy" has been the rage about the corridors of the Normal for some time. It has been said (how authentically we know not) that professors have mentioned it in their classes, decorated with a bit of favorable comment. In reading the book with a critical attitude it will be noticed that there are a great many good things concealed within its pages. The tragedy lies in the fact that there is too much dabbling in sloppishness and modernistic or Elinor Glynnish sentimentality- To the uncasual reader, it is suggested that it be read with a critical attitude, because it has been recommended to you on the good points it possesses within its labyrinthian verbiages. The book uses freely the characters (as far as names are concerned) from Homer's Odyssey. The author depicts them from the modern standpoint of view. Among some of the principles that are elucidated in this dissertation are: marriage as a social institution; reconciliation among members of the immediate family; pride; sfubborness; sacrifice; conceit; retribution; friendship; love; and hundreds of dependent intricacies of life. In addition to developing the above the author has attempted to lay down a few hard and fast rules by which we are enabled to govern some of our actions. - He is (as Mr. .Witherspoon would say) stepping on as many toes, by so doing, as he is freeing. The book is easily read and the gist can be procured from its contents within two hours. A critical time in the affairs ,of the Associated Students of this school is approaching. The event of the election of a new Student Body President brings a time of considering and reckoning. Facts and problems of student government become conscious in the students' mind for ^ die first time perhaps, during the school year. The retiring officer's actions are subject to some thought and perhaps, appreciation. But, the vastly larger problem is the selection of another president. An important problem-—but how much worthwhile, intelligent consideration gt;wll the students give it? Will a Iukewann interest culminate in a popular student being nominated, make the usual pledge to support In the February fifteenth issue of the Student Opinion (Ellensburg Normal official publication) there appeared an editorial denouncing the Cheney Journal for mistaking the fact, accidentally, that in 1922, A N N O DOMINI, the Ellensburg WILDCATS had overwhelmed the Savages in a measly basketball encounter. We are wondering whether'the game in itself was important enough at the time to write home about, let alone bringing the facts to light, a matter of five years later. Probably Cheney had forgotten about the game, due to its very insignificance. Seemingly impossible, squabbles often times lead into great arguments, so let us desist.

After playing on fairly even terms with the Rotchschild quintet in the first half, the Vikings came back in the . final period to fall before the driving assaultv of the former University men in a game played last Saturday night on the Whatcom floor, by a score of 36 to 23. Rothschild had a well balanced - team, all . of their men towering way above the Vikings, and, coupled with this, they had experience. Logan broke the ice for the Rothschilds, by annexing a field goal shortly after the game opened. Keplinger followed immediately by annexing two free throws, making the score two up. The Seattle men followed soon after with two field goals and a free throw. The Rothschilds went on a basket shooting rampage, and before the Normal men knew about it, held *a 13 to 6 lead. Thus, far, Keplinger had been the only man who was able to break open for shots at the basket. . Jensen Opens Fire. Jensen, Viking center, who has been on the sick list during the last week, thought it was about his turn, so he began shooting long ones, garnering three of them in successive order. Lyman Stickney followed with a free throw, and for the first time during the game the Vikings were on even terms with Rothschilds. Hes-keth put a pretty shot through the hoop, giving his teammates the better of a 15 to 13 score when the half ended. Vikings Again Lead. The Vikings took advantage of an opening i n ' t h e Rothschild defense, and Jensen annexed a pretty goal and free throw, to give the Vikings a one-point lead. With but ten minutes to go, the Normal men were trailing a 30 to 19 score. Hale and Hesketh garnered a basket each; Nicholson tossed in a foul throw; Harper renewed Viking hopes by taking a goal from underneath the basket; Nicholson again scored, this time a field goal; Jensen who had been making Kroop, Rothschild center, step pretty lively, sank another basket; Keplinger was taken out on personals ;•. the final score stood; Rothschilds, 36; Bellingham, 23. Hesketh and Jensen, High. Hesketh, Rothschild forward, tied Jensen, Viking center, for high point honors, with thirteen markers. Hale, Seattle guard, garnered nine points. (Keplinger made six.

SUPERS SMOTHER BROWN COLE TO CLINCH TITLE Super Vikings Grab an Early Lead and Are Not Headed, the Final Score Gives Them a 50-43 Win Sweeping onward toAvard the City Class A hoop title, the Viking Super-varsity conquered the Brown Cole five 50-43 in the first mix of their threergame titular series, Tuesday evening at Whatcom. The Supers had, last week, won one game of the play-off, but this was thrown out because of the playing of an ineligible man. Supers Lead All the Way. The Vikings got off to a flying start that netted them, a ten-point lead in the first few minutes—a lead which they held continuously through the remainder of the game. They had the Grocers completely bewildered, passing around them easily, and shooting almost at will. At half time, they led, 30-20. As the second half opened, the Brown Cole men really got into action, cutting the lead down to but six points. Both teams were ring'-: ing up baskets, the Supers on short shots, and the Groeers on their characteristic underhand long shots. The Normal 10-point margin^ held for the remainder of the game, and the Supers emerged on top. Brick Harris was the whole shoAV for the Grocers, accounting for over half his. teams total with twenty-three points. For the Normalites the team as a whole worked well together no one man being outstanding. Summary: ~ - Normal 50 B. C. 43 McClurkan 10 ....F.... McCollum 10 Harper 4 .F.

VERNON COLLEGE Mount Vernon Junior College fell before the" onrushing Viking Super-varsity last Friday evening in the Skagit city, 24-11. The Supers got off to a good start and continued to^play a good brand of ball. They, looked much .better than they did in their previous engagement with the Collegians, which was won 29-24. All the men contributed to the scoring, the points ranging from six to two. McClurken, with his "usual flashy game, was outstanding for the Supers. WHY?

Can you find any one that would fill these positions better than Stickney and Isaacson? I should Say, no! Isaacson proved his worth in holding- his man in the various Tri- Normal games to practically no points, a feat which is difficult for the best of guards to do. Lyman Stickney played a different type of a game entirely, being especially adept at sneaking in for a few baskets, while holding his opponent to a low score. Thanks to the ardent group, of rooters that jeered the Jayvees on to victory against the Midway "Cigar Men. This particular way of displaying one's humor does not go over very big. Viking basketball followers had their chance to see a group of former University of Washington stars in action, when they came up here to try their stuff on the Normal quintet. They won, but those who saw the game, learned that the Rothschild men did not put very much over them. Had Ray Odell been in the lineup, the final score might have different. Co-ordination semed lacking; Keplinger passed under the basket several times, and—Odell was not there. Jack Harper was given a chance in last Saturday's game. He played careful basketball, and had he had the experience he possibly would have shown the rest of the boys up. His basketball career started only last year, when he played in the forward position for the Super-Varsity. His good work on this team last season gave him a place on the Varsity squad this year. - Brilliant teamwork* featured both the Super-Varsity-Brown and Cole, and the Junior Varsity-Modern Woodmen games last Monday. Fast breaking predominated. The better condition of the Normal men on the big Whatcom floor, contributed to their victories. VARSITY ENCOUNTER WCEYITKTONIGHT New Frosh Machine Will Oppose Coach Carver's Proteges Tomorrow at U. of W. Gymnasium. On the Y floor tonight, the Jayvees will play the first of a three game series to determine the Gity Class B Championship. The Jayvees should thank the Midway Cigar Men, who not only took the Normalites out of the running in the. earlier part of the second half of the split schedule, but also put them back in the running by defeating the Wreckers in the last scheduled game of the season. The Varsity squad left yesterday for the south to engage the St. Martins and University of Washington Freshmen squads, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Campus Beauty and Barber Shop 939-W Baughman Bldg. Cedar High The Normal varsity basketball team left Bellingham yesterday for Lacey, and Seattle, where the last games of the 1927 season will be played against St. Martins College "quintet tonight and the University of Washington Freshmen five at Seattle tomorrow. .. These two games are expected to be two of the year's hardest contests, both of the ..opposing teams having lost to Normal by only a few points. The Vikings have had a highly successful season thus far; they have won nine games and lost but two, holding the state Tri-Normal title. One of the losses was to the fast Rothschild's five of Seattle, while the other was to Cheney. Normal, which was easily defeated here twice. St. Martins College will be engaged at Lacey tonight. The Catholics have one of their strongest teams, holding victories over many high class hoop aggregations, including Ellensburg Normal and College of Puget Sound. In Cardinal, center, and Wrubble, forward, they have two of the best men seen here against the Vikings. In their appearance here several weeks ago, the Laceyites forced the Vikings to the utmost before succumbing 51 to 40. They succeeded in scoring more points against the Vikings in that one game than any opposing team has this year. Different Frosh Team. The Frosh outfit which is to meet I the Vikings this time is an entirely different one from that which lost a 31 to 25 decision here early in the season in the. Seattle City League, the other which met outside teams. The two teams have been shifted, and it is the stronger one which will encounteir the Vikings tomorrow. Included in the Frosh lineup are "Jiggs" Jaloff, former all-state Oregon high school forward; Clary Berlin, who holds the single game scoring record in the Seattle City League; and Paul Jessup, of Whatcom High School.

Coeds should not expect a good night kiss after a heavy date, said one of the stronger sex. "After, he has called a taxi and taken her to the Olympic, fed her, and taken her home, he has done entirely enough for her." Personal experiences of the men revealed that if the coeds did go 50-50 they, would learn to appreciate a date, instead of emitting an indifferent "uh huh" when asked for one. There would be less men staying home nights, too, if, the girls agreed to finance half of the •expedition."- '.'••.,. There are six or seven women at this school for every man, and the practice of 50-50 dates should, work out very well. 'Why',not'try it? Get your bids in early!

The Sourdough Club held its semi-annual.' banquet at the Chuekanut Manor, last Friday evening. About thirty Sourdoughs and prospective Alaskans were present to partake of the "feed," which was served in true Northern style. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher were'the guests of honor. The ordeal opened with the song "Alaska, My Alaska." This was immediately followed by the first course, known to the Northerners as, "Glacier worms a-la-cocktail." Ptarmigan was served in true Eskimo style, in the nest. Sourdough, the drink of all hale and hearty Eskimos, brought conclusion to the satisfying meal. During the course of the meal, reminiscences of the Northland were enumerated, in turn, by all who were present. Those who had not been in Alaska, solemnly declared their intention of going. Miss Jones favored the group with two vocal solos. Mr. Diamond, a member of the school board at Ketchikan, Alaska, pleased the audience with a humorous song. Speeches % were rife and toasts were called for frequently. Humorous and burlesque tales were told unwarrantedly, almost without exertion. After the banquet, everyone departed- for the Spanish room, where dancing was indulged in, until a modestly late hour.
