National Music Week, Arthur JohnVon, a young tenor of 7marked-'versatility and talent will .appear during assembly hour,- on Tuesday, May 3.; hi common with many pi the younger artists, Mr. Johnson is a college graduate, and his versatility is shown by the fact that at his graduation he was elected to that most exclusive of scholarship organizations, Phi Beta Kappa, ' His program contains songs of •every description, from the classics of the lieder w r i t e r to the decidedly light and, jolly ^oteigh Song" by - Kountz. Que of Mr. Johnson's. songs, '"Night Magic" by Harry Van Dyke, the brother of Mr. Johnsons accompanist, "May Van Dyke, is a setting of a .poem written by the singer. His work has been printed in several jpoetry magazines,, and he was recently the. recipient. of, a "First Prize" offering by Poets' Scroll, for a group of short lyrics. Perhaps of outstanding interest on. Mr. Johnson's program is the Aria ifrom "A Witch of Salem" by Charles Wakefield Cadman. ^ Appearance Is" Unique. Mr. Johnson's appearance .here is unique in still another way. Both l ie and his accompanist, May Van Dyke, perform entirely from memory. After their program in Bellingham Mr. Johnson and Miss Van Dyke go to .Taeoma, t h en to Seattle and later -to Portland; . The Portland Oregonian referred to Mr. Johnson's singing as a "genuine sensation" and stated he was called to the platform persistently. r 'Music: and Musicians" of Seattle Teeently said, "Concerning Mi-. Johnson's work, too; high praise is impossible. His freedom from mannerisms, his straight forward 'technique and originality of interpretations are embellishments to a voice of great 4beauty His art is sincere and entirely legitimate, for he stoops to no tricks to gain the approval of his audience." Tonight The Oregon Trail Informal, to bo held by, the Oregon Club in 'the Big Gym this evening promises to be one of the most interesting and unusual affairs of the quarter. •The committee in charge lias planned each. detail with ".care.

Sarett Spelling Test Sticks Students The courses schools demand for correspondence is growing in the larger If the scores made on a simple spelling test of eight words is to be considered a criterion of the avv erage Normal student's spelling ability, then there is certainly vast room for improvement in this field. The test in question originally comprised ten words, but two of•. them -have l gt;een lost. Lew Sarett gave the words to "Mr. Fowler..who brought them to the Messenger office,.where the staff failed miserably in its attempts to spell them.". . The t e s t next made its '• appearance at the Normal Drug Storej. where Harry gave i t t o everyone who came in, keeping a check on the scores made. "A frequency table compiled /by a former Ed. 2r student, is given below: alL over the United States. People who have long since left school are using them as means of improving their education and keeping in touch with the times. Years ago, the work here at this school was started by Mr. Bever, who then taught.and worked in the lleg-istrar's Office. He offered a few of his own courses for correspondence work. Since that time there has been a steady growth to meet the increasing demand from those : who have been here and have gone' into the. field as teachers and from those who ip\\ some reason cannot come to school but wish to keep in touch with the school, .y The correspondence work is under the direction of the Extension Department of which Mrs. Lovegrcn is at the head. Regular members of the faculty offer the courses, Some do not feel that they have; the time to give to correspondence work. Eventually, if this work is continued, instructors may be employed with the imderstanding that their load -of' teaching is to be lightened so that they can devote part of their time to regular correspondence courses. • The study is stunted by the use of too few books. Students in iso-~ lated communities do not have access to libraries and reference ma- | terial. Their study field is narrowed; and they lack class incentive and the personal encouragement and help of the instructor.

Baker region will be. conducted by the Normal School beginning June 19 and continuing until July 31. All students registered for courses in: Field Geography or Nature Study in the Normal for the summer session will be required to attend the field school for one week as a part of their regular Work. Provision has been made for those who wish to enroll in the course, although not registered in the regular Nature Study classes. All students -attending the course will be excused from their classes for one week. Class work will be conducted in the Mi. Baker region, 45 miles east of Bellingham. The school is located at. snow line, on the western slope of Mt. Baker, at an elevation of 5 0 0 0 feet. Headquarters will be in Kulshan Cabin, a two-story log building with 24x40 feet of floor space, with a living room, kitchen, storeroom, sleeping rooms and porch. The living and dining room will serve as a library and laboratory. A trained dietician and cook will have charge of the dining room service.

John Kerr was successful in assuming the natural-acting temperament of the proverbial director. The heroine, pure, cool aiid white was gracefully played by Vera Gin-nette. The vampire, without which the play could not exist, was undoubtedly a "howling" success as played by Carrie Tucker. . The ambitious hero who was hired for his good looks rather than for his acting ability, was profoundly interpreted by Robert Fisher. Henry Durr, as the new. type o t villain, presented in his own characteristic style, the dramatic end .of the play. The part of the old gentleman was well done by Maurice Thompson.

It is true that the students of this school have not put up a candidate this year,, but this fact should not deter them from entering whole-heartedly into a campaign which is just as much theirs as it is the residents of the city. By remaining aloof from the pre-festiyal activities, the students have given credence to the remark that the students of this school consider themselves as living in " A little world of their own." This is a sorry attitude to take and steps should be taken at once to eliminate it. Students of this school should really mix more freely in the activities of the city. They shouW avail themselves of the opportunities of entering local homes, meeting local people, attending local entertainments and local churches. They should enter the social life of the city as much as possible, thus enhancing their social status and at the same time gaining such experience which will bear fruit when the teacher is called upon to take up social life in her new community. A student upon leaving the Bellingham Normal School should carry away with him not only memories of school days and school friendships but also memories of happy hours spent in Bellingham homes, in Bellingham churches and with B ellingham people. ANNOUNCING CANDIDATES FOR THE TULIP KING CONTEST The following well known fashion plates have announced their intentions of entering the popular contest for Bellihgham's Tulip King. 1. Mr. Phillip Aeschylus Siske1. In an .interview recently Mr. Siske boldly asserted that he would easily emerge victorious because of the popularity he had gained as a.white collar ad for the Corrugated Collar Co. 2. Mr. Si. Schopenhauer Slocum It is said that when the manager of the contest called on Mr. Slocum, this Apollo-like candidate, took hiiri for a Fleischman yeast •representative and approached him saying, "For three years PSvas unable to do my house work; but after taking—". Here the manager cut him short and informed him as to the purpose of his call. All. Mr. Slocum would say, was, "I love the 'college girls, and I expect their votes." B y A . S . S . 3. tad.

O F W A S H I N G T ON The Viking baseball nine engaged the Washington Huskies last Saturday at Seattle, in a double-header, and came home with the short end of the scores of both tilts. The results were 8 to 1, in the first game, and 6 to 4 in the second fracas. W O R D S What a vast world of value lies in words! Natural creation and human existence have manifested themselves in present experience only because some few have uniquely recorded and preserved History. Man, whether creative genius or imitator, through countless generations has caused actual accomplishment and abstract progress to be reincarnated in future generations. We are profiting today from spontaneous subtleties of thought or from deep seate dphilosophical treatises that our ancestors first created and engrossed because they possessed the art of expression. Words have caused the fragment of a thought to become an actual visual image.? They have lifted humble industry from the prosaic and transformed it into something singularly sublime and comprehensive. Words are the basic elements pertinent to all literary contribution; they are a means by which ideas ate made transferable. ^_ What tragic humiliation has been traceable to words. Just as they have ben an incitement toward his- .i torical, political, economic , literary and social progress, words have a retrogressive power. In accordance with this retardative factor, all of human experience has suffered from lack of exacting expression. Ignorance and carelessness have entered V into situations resulting in utter mis-understanding. viTTie profundity and depth; of solemnity and the superficial character of literature are relevant only to phraseology. Austere truths have been transformed into humor; simplicity and the comic into loftiness. •^wfa decide future destiny. Only »ucces»ful application of them will FACULTY AND STUDENTS In the past- few years, the relationship between the faculty and the student body in this school has subtly changed. Formerly, there was a feeling of antagonistic deference on the part of the students. There was no thoughtful criticism but an undercurrent of unfocused protests and complaints which accomplished little. Students avoided friendship with the faculty for fear of having their actions misjudged, or deliberately became friendly in order to make a good grade, by having a "stand-in." Working for a teacher's favor has been eliminated by the introduction of a new testing system, and strange to say, since then, students find the faculty more human and individual: istic, and more sympathetic in their attitude. Instead of the relation of a greatly superior pedagogue to an inferior and stupid class, there is the realization that soon the student will acquire all the teacher has to offer, and will probably forge ahead into fields which the teacher has had no opportunity to enter. The fact that many older students are returning to take graduate work, and that , the faculty go back into the classrooms as pupils, has helped bring about a more equal feeling. Teaching students what is being done for them, and directing^ them, in judging and choosing,, opens the way to evaluating material offered, and methods used. The faculty welcome* fair criticisms,; and suggestions as to improvements in' presentations, instead of repulsing suggestions, as formerly they seemed to. do. It is a wise arrangement, and those seeking knowledge will gain by it: so long as they are sincere in their spoken criticisms, :arid work' as a whole for the highest standards in acquiring knowledge. Arestad says, "There is no doubt as to the outcome ofthis sumptuous affair. - The faculty under the leadership of Mi\ Kibbe is with, me to the last gasp. This backing linked with the fact that I wear a pink shirt, makes me see certain victory ahead. Much to the regret of the populace Mr. Bryan Hippocrates Hanking was forcd to withdraw from the contest since it i« strictly a single men's affair. Last Sunday being Easter we went to church. Glancing over the congregation we saw row on row of bright Easter bonnets. THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL PEOPLE PRESENT WHO CAME TO HEAR THE SERMON". What the world more sincerity. needs today is •:J it * if Today's Bedtime ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 April 22 - Page 3 ---------- ISN^SPORT •Mnn Low Brow Roy . Odell sure socked . the old pill hard at Seattle last .Saturday, getting four safe blows in eight times at bat. If such a pace could be kept up by all members of a team, a winning ball club could be assured, provided (of course!) the opposition didn't hit the ball with an equal vim! A classy little third baseman is Zeke McCIurfcen. He was one of the high lights in the Saturday fray. His pegs to first base are on an even line and are easy for the first saeker to handle. Zeke's hitting for Saturday was. 286. Taking all in all the Vikings put up a good fight against the Washington Varsity men... In hits, if they mean anything in a ball game, the Bellingham men outdid the Seattle squad in the second game, and had Normal been able to make their eight safe Wows count,., the., score might have been different... In the second contest, "Normal had eight safe hits to Washington's six. Washington has a^ smart team and the Vikings need the practice, which has been denied the northinen by rain, snow, thunder, lightning, and hail. AVashington outfielders highly praised the Viking team, saying that they were completely baffled by their hitting. They said that they preferred to mix with some of the other Coast Colleges rather than the Normal nine. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Seattle Men Trample on Normal in First Tilt, Defeating Them 8 to 1, but Find Sledding Harder During' Second Game When t h e y Are Forced to be Content with 6 to 4 Score. v Possibly one of the prettiest tennis duels staged on the Normal courts was that between.'' Robinson., and Fisher, last Tuesday. Both exhibited mid-season form in their drive's, which were the better on Robinson's side. Although Fisher put up a game and desperate fight, Robinson- remained invincible, conquering his rival 6-3, 6-4. Here's a question that must and will soon be decided, "If Fisher can't do it, perhaps Myer Thai can." SI SAYS 'If Normal, can't defeat higher institutions, they'll take on the High Schools, and attempt to hand them the short end of the score." "Mike" Meek took. a trial run against his former Whatcom team mates last Monday afternoon. The race was run in a cold south wind, and considering this, good time was made. He took first place, with Tommy Marsden coming in third. "Chuck" Cooper has been chosen by his teammates for captain of the baseball nine. Chuck has "diamond" sense and should prove successful in leading the Vikings against the other schools. He will lead the team from behind the bat. U OF W. follow 2 col First Game. Normal opened the fire works' to score the first run of the first game on a hit, an error by Gardner, Husky hurler, and a sacrifice fly by Kemp. Washington came back in the fourth to score o n a hit, a walk and an error by the Viking hurler. Washington Agauf;'Scores. Washington scored again in the fifth canto on a walk, having advanced on two infield outs and a fielder's choice. In the following inning, the Nor-may boys must have given the bases some pre-war stock, because they had them loaded with one out when Caseys in the form of two Viking boys, came to bat and struck out. Seventh Is Fatal. All Viking hopes were dashed to the rocks in the seventh, when the Huskies scored six runs1 on a walk, error, two fielders' choices and four hits. Second Game. Washington started the dust flying in the opening of the second game. The first Husky hitter, Mul-lane, was hit by a pitched ball, and a sacrifice and a hit put him across home plate. Two markers were chalked up in the third inninge by the Viking men; The scoring came as a result of an error and a sacrifice fly. These men then advanced, and were brought in on a two-bagger by Ray Odell. Washington came back and scored three runs in the third inning and two in the fifth. The fifth-was the fatal canto for the Bellingham team. In the fifth, the Vikings knocked Washington's elongated right hander out of the (box,'who was substituted by a crooked arm, who ceased hostilities. Normal made a desperate bid for honors in the final inning, when Odell and Kemp reached the bases, but didn't reach home. NORMAL^ MlXr^S WITH EVERETT TOMORROW Tomorrow, Everett High School comes hre to take on the Viking baseball nine. The game "is to be/ played on Waldo Field, and the call "play ball" will be sounded at 2:30 P. M. For a prep team, Everett has one of the strongest teams in the state. Their. hurler, .Eddie Novak, is largely responsible for the wonderful showing that team has made. A thrilling contest is anti cipated, for in a previous-game at Everett, which was called off on account of rain, the teams battled evenly for the few innings played.

Pulling the bow, and flinging the horse's-shoes should prove fascinating. Weight reducer Earl Hemmi, sprinter of former. Viking fame, is out every night working hard for a twofold purpose.

Stanford University defeated the Golden Bear of Califonia in their annual track meet last Saturday.

Blue Bird bin 217 East Holly St., Bellingham LIGHT LUNCHES Fancy Candied Fountain Service HOME MADE PASTRY The hare and hound chase which features the spring initiation of the W. A. A. was held Saturday at State Park. The initiates as hounds left on the ten o'clock interurban, to pursue the hares who had left an hour before. The trail was picked up at Wild Cat cove and led over the hill and away through the woods. The hounds rushed ahead in a vain effort to overtake the fleeing hare who arrived at the park before them. A fire had been constructed early in the morning and after burning two hours vwas raked away and salmon wrapped in sea-weed was buried in red hot stones. The fire was-then re-kindled and burned for two hours over the fish. Finally Chief Cook Bond and his assistant Rucmick gave word that the fish was done. It was raked from the fire and the hikers settled down for lunch. New Teachers Guests ; President and Mrs. Fisher and the Misses Ullin, Dilley, Dixon, Cum-mingg, McPherson, Erickson and George, were guests of the club at the salmon bake. After lunch games of skin the snake and ring tennis were played.* There were several relay races and finally a baseball game between the new members of the faculty and the old ones. President Fisher, pitching for the Heavy Hitters, played his usual brand of sterling ball. 'The best salmon bake ever held," was the verdict, of all who attended. Ring tennis, a new game at the Normal, has met with the hearty approval of students and faculty. This game is highly recommended by the National Amateur Athletic Association and has been adopted by most of the eastern universities. The game is much like deck tenuis, which is played on ship-board. The main diffeence between lawn tennis and ring tennis, is that instead of batting a ball with a racket back and forth over a low net the players toss a rubber ring with their hands back and forth over a high net". As in the game of lawn tennis the ball, so in the game .of ring tennis, the ring is sent back and forth over the net until one player fails to return it or puts it into the net or outside the court. Points are scored as in volleyball and the game is. played until one side makes u total of fifteen points. One of the advantages of-the game is that it can be played equally well in the gym, on the campus or any other fairly level piece of ground.- HOCKEYGOLF WILL BE PLAYED ON CAMPUS Early next week a flock of little blue flags is to make its appearance on the froiit lawn. This is not a golf tournament or a yacht race but another new game being started by the P. E. department. This game i» called hockey-golf and is very much like golf but is played with a hockey stick and ball. The ball is shot Medley Run^Consists of 220-yard Dash, 440, 880, and 1,100-yard Runs. With the approach of the U. of W. Relay Carnival, Coach Carver has started elimination for the medley relay team to be entered. The medley consists of a 220-yard dash, 440-yard run, 880-yard .and three-quarter mile runs. At present it looks as if 'the entries will be: Hemmi, 220-yard dash; Bimnellj 440-yard run; Gallinger, 880-yard run, and Meek the three-quarter mile run. The other entry is the 100-yard dash, for which Coach Carver is preparing Jlemmi. Hemmi stepped off the century, in 10.3, this week. Estill Looks Good. Estill' looks good and it may be that it will be between Hemmi and Estill for the 220-yard dash. In the elimination run for the 440, last Tuesday, Bud Bunnell took first with a time of 55.2, Gallinger coming second, and Baldry, a newcomer from the U. of W., frosh team, third. Brotnov is working hard in the half-mile. Meek in Good Form. NMcek represented Whateoni Hi last year at the State meet in the mile, taking third place. Meek is a nice, easy runner and' will make any of his competitors steap to keep up with him. The coming week will be devoted to getting into the best condition and finishing form to the best degree. Nothing very strenuous will be done by those entered in the Carnival. around the course and must hit all the flags in numerical order. The flags serve as do holes in golf. -The number of strokes to make the course is counted and this is the final score. The game was started last fall in the P. E. classes and war much enjoyed. Since then girls '* have been asking for some place to play it regularly. For those who expect to take up golf it gives good practice in aiming and driving balls. • RANCH WANTED WANTED—Hear* from owner good Ranch for sale. Cash price. Particulars. D. F.
