We have a right, as a class, to commend them on their good sportsman-ship."

The Junior Class consists of some five hundred aind fifty boys and girls (emphasis on the latter), versatile in talents, splendid in energy, and boundless in enthusiaism. They have taken a prominent part in athletics of all kinds football, basketlall, tennis, track and baseball acquitting themselves nobly in each. Their social career has been no less interesting; a mixer given in the early fall of the year, the reception to the Seniors, and the demonstration on the campus were all of a most enjoyable nature. The two things, however, which seem most truly representative of the junior class, in that they revealed more clearly its inherent ability in both a creative and an executive way, were the class play and the Junior edition of the Messenger. "Milestones" was presenlted on the evening of April 15th. The characters were exceedingly well portrayed and the effect produced by the play as a whole was in every detail, artistic. The Juniors succeeded in widening to no mean extent the boundaries and limits contained in the word "amateurs." The prodluction was staged under the dlirection of Miss Abby Sumner, of the Expression Department, which fact renders the success of the play, in truth, self-explanatory. Perhaps there is no better pllace for 41 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 42 ---------- the Junior Class to publicly express its gratitude to Miss Sumner and appreciation of her invaluable help and guidance in this work, than here. The experience of each member of the cast and my own experience prompt me to say that it is indeed an inspira-tion to work under her. The Messenger, under the editorship of Mr. Scarseth, was de-lightful. Three cheers for its contributors, Mr. Scarseth, and the class he rel)resented. This year, with its falterings and triumphs, will reach its comlpletion in May. Some are going to experience the thrills of blissful seniorhood (fortunate ones), the rest of us step forth to meet thrills of rather a different sort, and yet, no matter where we he or into what remote corner of the earth the winds of chance may send our little ships of state, or whether the fickle God of For-tune designs to smile on us or not, we shall always have at least this year to look back upon with exceeding pleasure. We shall feel again that spirit of fire and energy that made the Junior Class the life of the school. We shall take pride in our past achieve-ments and in the worthy precedents we established for those who must needs follow in our footsteps. We are deeply grateful to the Faculty for the hell) they have so generously extended; we feel that they have given us some-thing of inestimable value in the work which is to follow and for which this year has been in a small way preparatory. They have taught us to love our work and thru our loving, give the best we have to it, and to expect in return only that which our giving justifies. They have awakened in us a desire to pass on the burn-ing torch of civilization to the new generations and thus share in the great spirit of service. It will be hard to part with some of the old scenes grown so lear-harder still with the many new-found friends--but we feel the greatness of the new life ahead and of the ending year-can say with Hugo, "It closes on the twilight, it opens on the dawn," and so to those who are to experience further the joy and inspiration in the work here and those who, with the close of the year, must turn their backs on the dear old B. S. N. S. to go strange ways-- until tomorrow, at least, "Au revoir, my friend--and-good luck to you." GERTRUDE L.

We are the largest, the strongest, the most enthusiastic "bunch" that has ever entered the doors of dear old B. S. N. S. Those who were Juniors last year missed some of their old friends, but soon found many new Seniors who were ready to take their places. Being quite familiar with school routine, it was not long before we were toiling over the deep subjects of Hist. of Ed., Phil. of Ed., and Sociology. And in addition we have always been more than well represented in all school enter-prises. On Tuesday, October 12th, the Seniors met for the first time and elected the following officers who so faithfully piloted us through the first semester: NEWTON MCCOY -- --- President RUTH MULLIN -- --- Vice President STELIA GOYNE - ---- Secrelary WAI'rTER KELLY . .----- Treasirer DELBErT HENNES - - - - - Serean -al-A s We were very fortunate in having Dr. D)cerwester, Miss Hogle, IMr. Moodie and Miss Sperry for our class teachers. The first social affair given by the Seniors was the mixer held in the Normal School club rooms, on Friday, October 1. The room was beautifully decorated( with cut flowers anld draleries of the class colors, olive green and gold. Several clever "stunts" were features of the occasion and furnished a great d(eal of amuse-ment. After this came toothsome refreshments. At the beginning of the second semester we elected new officers: DELBEVRTI HENNES - -- - - - - President I)OROTHY GATTON - - - - - - Vice President A. S. HARTLEY - ------ Secretary F()RREST BREAKEY ---- -- Trcasuirer GERTRUDE MC'AHAN -- - - Sergeant-at-Arms At midyear thirty-nine Seniors left our midst, but many new ones came in to fill their places. To these new members a recep-tion of welcome was tendered on the evening of Friday, March the 10th. It was given in the big gym and was in the form of a F.,' ' ;' , .; ;. ,. . ,, , ;7-z ,'.;- :,,- ::,' ,; ,-,. ,., - ,, _ - , :., ,,_:. . . __ . , . ...... .. . i l ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 48 ---------- country masquerade. Oh, what a circus we had! A mock wed-ding, pantomimes, Mrs. Deerwester with her wonderful phono-graphic interpretations, and Grace Sherman with her folk dancing were some of the exceedingly amusing and interesting numbers given for our entertainment. Games of all kinds occupied the remainder of the evening, until the "good eats" were served, which fittingly concluded a hilarious good time. To show the school that we were very much awake we gave a most interesting Washington's birthday program in the audi-toriuin Wednesday morning, February 23. We were "right there" with songs, Ukulele, pantomimes, etc., etc. The Kline Cup! Oh, yes! The Senior girls won that! One of the most original features of the year was the Senior girls' field meet, or, in other words, "Senior Sneak." At 5:30 on Saturday morning, April 22, they met at the corner of Elk and Holly prepared to take the car for Lake Whatcom, where all the sports took place. By 11:30 they were ready to return, all having had a most hilarious time. The next in order was the Faculty reception to the Seniors. This occurred April the 29th at the Aftermath Club House and was in the form of a musicale. After much deliberation the class play was selected, "The Midsummer Night's Dream," by William Shakespeare. The cast, under the direction of MIr. Hoppe, made it a great success. At last came the final maddlening rush in preparation for (:lass Day, Commencement, etc. The first function was the presi-dent's reception, held May 26th. Needless to say, this was a very successful affair. On Sunday, May 28th, at 3 p. im., Dr. Hugh Ross, of the Con- gregational church, Seattle, delivered the Baccalaureate address. Class D)ay! Yes, this occurred on Monday, May 29th. There was nothing but excitement, and then more excitement all day long. In the morning was Senior assembly, which plainly showed our originality, energy and talent. The campus was beautifully decorated, and in the afternoon the regular ceremonies of laying the stone and planting ivy were performed. In the evening of this day the class play was rendered on the knoll. After all this day's excitement we awoke the next morning •" , 77 .-, ".-7 Y27 7: 7 777,M 7.'. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 49 ---------- ready to enjoy another day of recreation. Early in the morning we all met on the campus to partake of the Senior breakfast. Then in the evening the Juniors entertained us-and they surely did entertain! Our final appearance was made on the morning of May 31st, when we received the long-coveted diplomas, so dear to all of us. The speakers of the day were Prof. Meany, of the University of Washington; Ruth Conner and Solway Kanneklkeberg. Prof. Meany delivered a most interesting and instructive speech, and Ruth Conner, chosen by the Faculty, and Solway Kannekkeberg, chosen by the Class, proved themselves well worthy of represent-ing our class. Then here's to dear old B. S. N. S. May its lofty influence he instrumental in leading us to higher aspirations and the fulfill-ment of noble achievements. Class Motto: "Find a W1ay or Make It." Class Colors: Olive Green and Gold. Class Flower: Marechal Niel Rose. 7i I-' Al ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 50 ---------- 1915 KLIPSUN 1916 ESTHER ANDERSON -- - - - Bellingham Bellingham High School; entered 1915.

The rivulet flows wilh such smoothness; It drives away care and remorse, As, clearly, it winds thru the meadows, And clallers along in its course. The birds have returned wiih the spring-time, And warble their songs in pure bliss, As they merrily flit through the tree-tops, With them, nothing e'er goes amiss. And thus wilh the youtlh in life's spring-time,-- He sings to his merry tune; The earth is before him to conquer,- Let him sing while he may --it is June! -ESTHER PENN, '16. 86 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 87 ---------- Last Will and Testament of Class of '16 We the Class of 1916 of the Bellingham State Normal School, of the County of Whatcomi, State of Washington, bleing of sound and disposing minds and memorics, and not acting under duress, menace, fraud or undue influence of any person whatsoever, do make, pullish and declare this, our last Will and Testamient, for the purpose of disp)osing of our chattels, good will andl personal grudges, and bequeathing our luck, looks an(i love to our success-ors, an(l to that end (do cheerfully give, devise ani leqlueatli the saime as follows, to-wit: ARTI:LE I.

FORREST BREAKEY, .Ir. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 91 ---------- Their Tenth Annual Tour The "Big Four Quartette" of the Bellinghain Stale Norminal School, composed of Mrs. Thatcher, Mr. Plarish, 1)Dr. Nash and Mrs. Nash, are making their tenth annual concert tour. The custom w as established in 1916. Many con certs have been given and nunmerous acquaintances have been renewed amiong former stu-dents, particularly among those of the class of 1916. The follow-ing, which was written iy one of the members of lhce "Big Four," will )possibly interest our readers: "O()ur first conce('(t was given in Ferndale, and immediaely after the intermission the principal of the High School, who is now Nellie Balch, came rushing upl to us, bringing with her Eber-tilla Erickson, Hclen Monroe, Alta C(hichester, Helen Fell and Alice Shields, wlho are amnong the high school staff. They all re-- g etted the absence of Edna MacKinnon, who was mar1'ried la:st montlh. "At Portland we Iet Harriet Abercrombie and Ada Wood. Miss Abericrombie informed us that Emma Jackson was Ililager of the finest beauty parlors in the city, and that Fay Breneman and Newton McCoy, the former president of the class of 1916, were successful exporters of Castle Rock salmon. The second night here we were introduced to Freeman Chute, manual training supervisor at Vancouver. Among the 1)rincipals of the schools of that city were Hazel Gensman, 'Mrs. Alice Frits and Stella Goyne, while the music supervisor was Alice Lund, who was so successful A in our music department at the normal. "In the southern and central part of tle state at the town of Pineville we were recognized by Maude Potter, now assistanti secretary to the counlty auditor. When we reached Olympia the sad news was imparted to us that Elva Uhler had, but a short time before, suddenly (died froim overeating. WVe were imade forgetful of our sadness vwhen we met Elizabeth Mottmlan, now the village dressmaker and gossip. She told us that Helen Leghorn is still teaching; that Hanson Berg had p)roposed to her no less than six times but she had rejected him even to the last; that Leitha Fulk was working in the Fifteen Cent Store; that Marion Haycox was now secretary of the cily Y. 1V. C. A.; that Anna Jacobson's engagement had bleen announced 91 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 92 ---------- to Paul Miescke of Bellingham; that Grace Michael and Margaret Russell had established a home for the feeble minded. "This home and school for the feeble minded interested us so very much that we decided to visit it the next day. When we read the list of inmates we were horrified to find those of Marion Lovejoy, Jean McElroy, Forrest Breakey, Edna Gooding and Ruth Galber among the hundreds. The first night that we were in Seattle we were amazed to have Mary Bestor, Solway Kanekkeberg, Alice Paulsen and Bessie Love present Mrs. Thatcher with an exquisite bunch of roses im-mediately after her solo, 'How Long Will the Asphalt in Pitch Iake Last?' As we were leaving the auditorium we were invited by Ruth Henry to visit Chinatown with her the following morn-ing. Other settlement workers were Daisy Hunter, Martha John-son, May Refior, Gladys Taylor and Minnie Forbes. As we re-turned to Frederick Nelson's for luncheon we were agreeably surprised to find that the waitresses were all former students of our Normal School and without exception of the class of 1916. Elsie Ainslie, Bessie C. Albert, Edna Hanmmerlund and Freda Hallson were among those we met. During our delightful repast a vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Jane Colby, leading soloist of lunch room. Just after the coffee was served who should come over and introduce herself but Mrs. J. Jones, who used to be Linda Holtine, and with her was Gladys Kernaghan, whom we later learned was her mnaid. When Dr. Nash stepped to the cashier's Sd esk to pay the bill, lo and behold, who should be there in the cashier's chair but Henrietta Utermark. As we were wending our way thru the crowd on the main floor who do you suppose rushed up to me and heartily shook my hand? None other than our for-mer pianist, June Matheny. "When we emlbarked on the steamship "Tacoma" for Ta-come we were astounded to find Jason Nevins as the purser on that liner. Can you iinagine our consternation when uplon enter-ing the lunch roomi to find Elsie Ridlen the head waitress, with May Reynolds as her assistant and her sister Goldie as dish-washer? On board we met Leone Baker, who informed us that she was just returning from buying her trousseau, and a little later we came upon Marine Hjaltaline, who was loaded with boxes and bundles marked for 'Miss Ieone Baker.' As a sudden fog had suddenly blown in from the ocean we were compelled to go into ,. ,, . .v..p. .; 3 .; .. , S:.. ,: , ,,..: ., . a. _; ,. " ,. ' . ... ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 93 ---------- the cabin, where we were amused and entertained by readings and solos given by Mary Hootman and Daisy Porter, accompanied on the piano by that sweet-faced Mary Hemminger, who is the same young lady who was a formecr student at our Normal School. "We chanced to lie in Everett the week that they were hold-ing their semi-annual institute, and( even tho we were very Imuclh rushed for time deci(le(I it woull lie better to attend and if pos-sible lend a helping hand( to those whom we realize are endleavor-ing to follow in our footsteps. Accordingly 8 o'clock found us with the thousanii teachers read(y for roll call. Among those names which we recognized( were Hazel Bigby, who is teaching in one of the rural schools; Barbara Conroy, who was forced to re-turn to Puget Sound on account of her health; Lulu Nelson, whom we hardly recognized on account of her snow white hair; Kirby Smith, who we learned was now a gra(luate from the University at Seattle. 1We were all so thankful, as the names of those teach-ers became unfamiliar we were attracte( Iby the county secretary, who was calling the roll. Indeed, her sweet voice could( not long have been heard and not recognized, for it was Violet ,Marshall, now serving her third tcrin for the county. After the roll call a calisthenic drill of the primary teachers was given, conducted by Kathleen Skalley, who you doubtless remember was an expert on the gymnasium floor. As we were going aboard our boat after a delightful stol)over, whomi should we see on the dock but two in-dividuals, namely, lEdythe and Ethel Tucker, who claim to be twins but who still look as unlike as they did in the year of their graduation. "We are not sure just when we will return, but hope that it will be sometime within the next month. In the meantime re-member us to your admirable p)resi(lent of the Normal School, Delbert Hennes and Ruth Conner, the head of the Expression D)e-partment. If you chance to nmeet Gertrude lMcMlahan give her our hearty congratulations over her re-election as Mayor of Belling-hain."

We are practically the first senior class of the Normal High that has had a live organization, for we have made upl in (luality what we lacked in quantity. We are a little band-there are only about a dozen of us- nevertheless the whole High School has felt our influence. The Board of Control was made up of Seniors and one poor lonesome Junior! Yet the administration has been im-partial and just, we hope, and we are all glad of the opportunity we had of serving our fellow students. We do so hope that we may have regular graduation exercises and diplomas. This is our last plea, and we trust it will be re-garded. As we separate and go out to different work, may we keep the enthusiasm and perseverance that has characterized the work of this year. Some will go away, perhaps, but "more will stay at home." Anyway, may we be better co-workers because of the little training we have had in our class, and let us constantly place our ideals and amlbitions higher and higher. Thus we may become better students, and later better citizens. Let us "hitch our wagons to a star," and wherever we are called may we give our best service. 97 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 98 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 SENIOR CLASS OF HIGH SCHOOL 98 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 99 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Klipsun Organizations 99 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 100 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Thespian Dramatic Club 100 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 101 ---------- Thespian Dramatic Club Since the organization of the Thespians six years ago there has always been an interested and talented group of students working for the good of the school as well as for aid which is received from the work in the club. The Thespian Club is the only real dramatic club in the Nor-mal School and its memblers are chosen by a committee of stu-dents and faculty advisors with the idea of having as its members those with distinct dramatic ability. This year, with Miss Sumner and Mr. Hoppe as sponsors for the club, much has heen accoml)lished in learning of the actors and plays of the day. For instance, one of our programs was on the play "Grumpy," played in New York and Boston last winter hy Cyril Maud, who has since gone into the moving pictures. Another evening was spent with Eleanor Robson andi her wonder-ful play, "The D)awn of a Tomorrow." A type of dramatic work which has been known for many years but thought little of is the p)antomnime. Miss Sumner's work here has shown us how much can be accomplished when no actual sound is made, and one of our most enjoyable programs was the one on the history of the plantomime, its p)ossibilities, and one given by a group. We have had plleasant evenings besides those in which work was done. There was the initiation for the new menimbers in Sep-tember, when the club rooils were beautifully decorated in the colors, pink and lavender, with asters in the same shades used as the flowers. Of course there were refreshinents an(d plenty of them, then as a fitting close we all gathered round the piano and sang songs, both old and new. Then came the candy pull after a program. Miss Wilson, who was elected an honorary member, was present, and it is queer how sticky some candy can be. Dr. Nash was an unexpected guest at one of our meetings and ex-pressed his approval of the work which we were doing. That was appreciated to its fullest extent, for we want every one to know just what we are doing and gaining. When the cold weather came it looked as tho our meetings would have to be postpone(d, but instead of not having a regular meeting, we had a sleigh ride. It was a cold, windy night, and 7.777. , . ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 102 ---------- even Mr. Hoppe got cold ears and feet, or just naturally frozen, for he decided to go home after a short ride thru town. However, the rest of the party enjoyed the ride to its fullest extent. With the new semester came new officers into office, and they have p)roved capable and splendid. The officers are as fol-lows: HENRY ASH MAN - - - - - - - - President K\ATHILEEN SKALLEY--- - - - Vice President ANNE LARSON ------- Secretary W I:R JoHNSON -- ---- Treasurer NAT MOUNT - ----- Sergeant-at-Arms I)ou(IAS HANBLoo - - - - Biusincss Manlaer The Thespians have been able, with the aid of the two faculty advisors, to produce three public programs or plays. The first was "The Private Secretary," under Mr. Hoppe's direction, and Iproved highly entertaining, with its queer situations, combined with a successful handling of the comedy. The others were "The Bishop's Candlesticks," a sketch taken from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables," and "The Mishaps of Minerva." Both sketches were artistic in every detail, and the casts are to be complimented on the splendid work they did, thanks to Miss Sumner's untiring efforts. She was always ready to give inspiration and help when at times it appeared almost hopeless. The Christmas banqluet should not he forgotten, for it is well worth remembering. In the private dining room of the Leopold the tables were set iin the letter "T1" and decorated with a Christ-mas tree, shaded cand(les and pIlace cards with Christmas embl)lems on theim. New members were initiatedi in March and a jolly party was given after the program. St. Patrick's emblems were in evi-dence and the tables were beautilul in greens and pussy willows. The refreshments were some never to be forgotten. The annual banquet given the Seniors, at which all of the Alumni who can are present, was beautiful, and the toasts and speeches, not forgetting the songs, were worthy of all those Thes-pians taking part. So with a word of farewell we say, "Live Ever Thespians." 102 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 103 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Seen on the Knoll 103 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 104 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Alkisiah Club 104 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 105 ---------- Alkisiah Literary Society Rah!

Rah! good cheer to you, The Alkisiahs always Irrue, The purple and the golden hue Is for me and is for you. Alkisiahs! There is something in this name that Irieathes of culture, enjoyment and, best of all, school spirit. For certainly the club has supl)orted all activities connected with the Normal, and has grown up side by side with the school. The society was organized under the direction of Miss Ida Baker in 1906(. At present the Alkisiahs number forty-eight. Each member is pro-gressive, energetic, and feels the responsibility of mak ing the club improve with each year of its existence. Although the society is purely literary, the school is en-livened quite frequently by the Alkisiahs' social evenings. The first social affair of the year was the party given in ilonor of the new members, which was in the nature of an initiation. Another enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Leitha Fulk, where we were entertained with a Thanksgiving program, games, and later a taffy pull. The society also enjoyed a delightful Christmas program and each memlber received a mirth- provoking gift, as well as a diminu-tive Christmas stocking. The annual narcissus sale was a success in every respect and many girls' rooms were made cheery and fragrant by these flowers. The new president, Leah A. Dudgeon, took the chair at the beginning of the second semester, and Arleen C. Cusick, the for-mer president, retired after a term of faithful service. ........ '7 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 106 ---------- The first social event of the new year was the chafing dish party, at which the Alkisiahs were at home to their friends. Then came the big event of the year, the banquet in honor of the new members. This was held at the Leopold Hotel and was a success from beginning to end. After the toasts the club attended the American Theatre as the guests of the club advisor, Mliss Willoughby, to see Cyril Maude in "Peer Gynt." Another theatre party was given when the Alkisiahs went to see Mary Pickford in the role of "Cho Cho San" in Puccini's opera, "Madame Butterfly." On the evening of March 17 the club was entertained by the new membiers at a clever St. Patrick's party. The club room was gayly decorated in green. A program of Irish airs and stories was given, followed by numerous Irish stunts-even to the kiss-ing of the Blarney Stone. Dainty refreshments in green and white were served, and the new members were voted most royal enter-tainers. The work of the society, however, is not neglected. During the year each program has been instructive as well as entertain-ing. Questions of the day have been discussed and the lives and works of dramatists of several nations have been studied. Among them were Ibsen, Hauptman, Maeterlink, Rostand, Barrie, Lady Gregory and others. The Messenger reporters, Ella Anderson and Maude Carfield, have kept the Normalites aware of the fact that the Alkisiahs are up and doing, and have kept the club proceedings in I)romi-nence. As all good things must end, so must this year-one which we feel has been filled with the very best we could give it, and one which has given enjoyment, friendships and instruction in return. At the last social function of the year, a banquet in honor of the graduates and alumnae of the society, a grand reunion was held at the Hotel Leopold, before dispersing for our future work. We feel sure that the society has a great future and the Alki-siahs who go out into the world will not )e forgotten, for the say-ing, "Once an Alkisiah, always an Alkisiah," will be remembered.

In their petition to the faculty for the privilege of organizing the club they stated that their aim should be to make an intelligent study of Socialism and social p)roblems. Records show that this aim must have been kept constantly in mind throughout the year, although the lighter, gayer si(le of lie!' was not entirely neglected. The wonderful spirit of the first ycar has heen kept alive in these two succeedling years. This year \we have had lectures by members of the faculty, by ineibcrs of the student bodty, and also by men from outside of the school. The Ope()n Forum is a main feature of each program, and the discussion in this has been well directed bly our patron, D)r. Herre, and by our faculty meiim-hers, Mr. Bever, Mrs. Termat and Mr. Edson. The following is a partial list of lectures given this year: "Conditions in Europe," Dr. Herre. "Alaska Schools," Prof. Parish. "Civilization, Its Cause and Its Cure," Mrs. Ternmat. "Life in the Navy," Mr. Harlow. "Life in the Army," Mr. Russell. "Science vs. Superstition," Mr. Philippi. "Preparedness" (against), Miss Lucy Norton. "Socialism," Mr. Swartz. "Evolution" (illustrated lecture), Mr. Moodie. "Settlement Work," Miss Nickerson. "The Invincible Government," Judge Pemberton. "American Democracy," 'Mr. Minnis. "American Work in Armenia," Miss Vollmer. "Socializing Religion," Mr. Beer. For our musical programs we are indebted to Miss Liddell, Miss McCoonimbs, Olive Bowman, Olive Pearson, Miss Birney, Marion Lovejoy, Mrs. Colby, Dr. Herre and the Glee Club. Miss Alma Nyquist, Grace Salmon, D)icie Myers, Miss Conner and Mrs. Belle Norton each gave very interesting readings. We extend to the club of coming years our very best wishes, and hope their members may feel the loyalty to the cause which was shown by the first organizers and by the members of 1915-16. ... ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 110 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Philomathean Literary Society 110 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 111 ---------- CHRONICLES OF THE PHILOMIATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY In the beginning of the first week of the first month of the seventh year, there returned to the Philomathean Literary Society, a most worthy order of the Castle of Learning on the Hill of Knowledge, sixteen of its brave knights and gracious ladies who had gone forth from the gates of the castle to impart wisdom to all mankind. Now the head priestess of the order had dwelt all these years within the walls of the castle and welcomed most joy-fully these knights and ladies as they crossed the moat and laid their trophies-the fruits of their experiences-at her feet. Now according to the plrecedents of the order, from this goodly number the members selected the most fit for their leaders. Sir Herbert Heath, a gallant knight, chose they for their head, Sir Jason Nevins first attendant, Lady Celia Gibson the keepler of the coffers, Sir Frederick Klaus the defender of their honor, and Sir John Kaup the general promoter of all good things, gave they to the Head for his helpers. Within this domain were many courtiers who nought admit-tance to the various orders of the castle, and from these the Philos, according to their custom, took unto themselves the most worthy, until their number was forty. On the evening of the sixteenth day of the month of Septenm-her all the members, old and new, met in the inner shrine of the castle, where the old related the events of their wanderings and( the new expressed their gratitude and great joy at the honor shown them by their accep)tance into this most worthy order. On the evening of the second day of the month of October, a great event was celebrated, according to a custom of the Orient. The new members of the order were initiated into the mysteries and proving themselves obedient to all the commands of the ceremony, were admitted into the sanctum, where they have worked much good to the order. Much work have the Philos (done this year and great has been their reward. Four sets of officers have had training in maintainining the good of the order. Every member has had ex-perience in appearing in public in various ways. Due honor has been shown our poets and noted men. Programs have been dedi-cated to Burns, Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, and Ire-land's patron saint. St. Valentine, could he have been a visitor at the leap year party, would have been amazed at the honor shown him, even as the knights were amazed at the honor shown 111 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 112 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Hays Literary Society 112 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 113 ---------- them. It came to pass that these brave knights were convinced that the ladies of the order possessed the graciousness and cour-tesy of their ancestors and in addition the courage of the new woman. The head priestess of the order, Miss Jensen by name, in addition to her untiring efforts to promote the general welfare of the order, has given at her home a series of parties long to be remembered. And yet again, not here do these chronicles end. but in the heart of every Philo will he cherished the friendships formed, will be treasured the influence of the head priestess, and will be re-membered the joy of congenial companionship. HAYS LITERARY SOCIETY As we look back upon that plhase of the work which has so largely occupied the attention of the club, it is with mingled sad-ness and regret that we see the curtain about to be drawn upon the final act of the drama. We who have thru close contact learned to know and appreciate our fellow members, shall never forget the debt we owe to each other and to her for whom our organization is named, for a large part of the success and happi-ness which has been ours. Activities opened in September with an evening at the Cabin on the Lake, where our thirty girls were welcomed by the faculty members, who had prepared a most substantial chicken dinner. This haunt of many a jolly gathering produced that night a most favorable impression upon all new members. Formal initiation ceremonies took place on October 14 in the club rooms, where the Magic Circle was formed. Though since broken by the members who left us at different times, this circle is now complete by the addition of new members, with whom we entrust in part the future of our work. At the organization meeting these officers were elected for the semester: EMILY PETERSON - ----- President MINNIE PAULSON - ----- Secretary LULAH RADLEY -- Tr-e- Oasurer RUBY ELLINGTON ----- Sergeant-at-Arms During the last semester attention was given at the regular meetings to current day topics, combined with music, readings * it 1 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 114 ---------- and "spreads." One very interesting Alaskan program was given, at which Prof. Parish spoke on "Alaskan Literature." Yet the meetings seemed few until we were gathered round the fireplace in the faculty room, which annually is the scene of our Christ-mas festivities. The tree served only a decorative purpose, since all gifts were sent to make happier one of the homes of the city. "6 On January 8 a luncheon was given at the Leopold Hotel in honor of our midyear graduates. Among the thirty-five for whom 1)lates were laid were Dr. and Mrs. Nash, the former of whom addressed the gathering. After the holidays work hegan in earnest. At the first busi-ness meeting the following officers were elected: CALISTA WASHBUIIN - ---- President JUNE IATHENY ..--- Secretary HELENA STENVIG - - - - - - - Treasurer RUBY ELLINGTON - - - - - Sergeant-a-A rms EDINA MCKINNON - ----- Reporter A detailed plan was laid out for a study of the modern drama. Cur work has been to take up the lives of writers in connection with the presentation of scenes from their plays. We have laid particular emphasis upon Maeterlinck, Ibsen, Galsworthy, Lady Gregory, and the Irish Dramatic Revival. Scenes from "The Blue- bird," "The Doll's House," and from "The Birds' Christmas Carol," as draimatized by Kate Douglas Wiggin, have been rather hastily worked up, but they have served to give pretty clear impressions of what the modern stage is trying to present to the public. Themes of such plays as Galsworthy's "Mob" and "Justice" have been given in a very interesting fashion. We only regret that the time has been all too short for a thoro study to have been made of this most fascinating subject. But we hope that future mem- bers of the H. L. S. will continue in some of the plans which we have merely begun. Unanimously we give to Miss Hays the credit for anything of value which we have been able to acconmplish. She has been un-tiring in her efforts to give us the very best in every line of work with which we have dealt, and the inspiration of her personality shall have counted for much after all immediate ties will have been broken. To our successors we leave the splendid opportunity for the molding of friendships which shall be strong and lasting, and an earnest desire for their success.

There was one organization ready to work the very first day school opened in September; not only ready but enthusiastic and eager to be at work. What was this organization? What was its work? Do you remlemiber how lost you felt in trying to find your class rooms and teachers? Do you remember the girls who gladly showed you the way? Yes, they belonged to the Y. W. C. A. The association work began that first day and has been going on throughout the entire year. Our first devotional meet-ing was held Sunday afternoon, September 12, in the Association room. Miss Sands led and gave a beautiful message to all the girls present. A lovely reception was held soon after the opening of school, to which all the Normal students were invited. The meetings this year have been exceptionally good, so in-spiring and full of hell). At our first meeting in October we were fortunate in having with us Miss Mary Baxter, a missionary from China, who was in this country on furlough and has since re-turned to her work in China. We have received many interest-ing letters from her telling of her work there. October 21st, Miss Griffith, secretary of girls' work in New York City, was with us and spoke to us on the subject of "Leadership." From November 15th to 19th, in harmony with other associa-tions, we observed the "World's W\\eek of Prayer." A different country was taken each day as a subject for thought and prayer. On Tuesday, November 23rd, we held our Thanksgiving meeting. Georgina Sharples led and Miss Sands brought to us a beautiful message in song. The meeting was helpful to all be-cause all had so many things to be thankful for. "It was truly good to have been there." December 16th we held our Christmas meeting in the audi-torium, and Mrs. McAbee from Seattle brought us the message, taking as her subject "The Guiding Star." We had a true Christ-mas message to take home with us during vacation, and we hope that He may be the Guiding Star in the life of each Y. W. girl. January 13th Miss Hopkins, general students' secretary of the Northwest, was with us and told us of the jubilee and what the association is doing in other places. 777 - 777 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 116 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Young Women's Christian Association Cabinet 116 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 117 ---------- We have been having many speakers from out of town with us this year, and again on January 27th Mr. Holding, a missionary !: from China. His topic was "Be Willing to Take the Last Step," and was full of interest and thought. Our Jubilee meetings began February 10th and lasted until March 2nd. Miss Fox was with us part of the meetings and also Miss Schram, an out of town Y. W. worker. Our Bible Institute was unusually good this year. We have also in our association a Student Volunteer Band which has been ihaving good nieetings each Sunday, afternoon. We have also in our association a Student Volunteer Band which has been having good meetings each Sunday afternoon. This year, too, they have been sending out deputations to the different young people's societies of the city. There are also mission study classes and Bible study classes with a very large enrollment. We have in addition to the work already mentioned a cafe-teria which is doing practical work to many of the school.

That it has been successful is fully substantiated by considering the work it has done for the welfare of the student. Under Mr. Jones and Mr. Heath's guidance (luring the school terms of 1915 the association builded a firm foundation. In the latter part of Mr. Heath's term as president we had one notal)le social event, a stag mixer, and it certainly was a "mixer." The employment bureau was active during this period and achieve(l some practical results. It, however, has been left to our present regime, in which Mr. Kirby Smith has been the leader, that our efforts have been crowned with more than success. In the opening month of the year (January) we p)articipated in an enjoyable social event with the members of the Y. W. C. A. Beginning January 20th a membership campaign was insti-tuted with Mr. W. Johnson, Mr. S. Carlton and Mr. Hubbard as leaders. The campaign and its corresponding result is one of the landmarks of our history. The material increase of our member-ship was not the only aspect of the campaign, for the spirit inani-fested throughout that busy time foretells a progressive associa- K,:: tion. This memorable campaign culminated in sending seven members to the college Y. M. C. A.'s conference, which was held in Seattle on February 11, 12 and 13. The most practical work we have done during the present semester has been through our employment bureau, of which Mr. H. Berg is the chairman. Upon Mr. Berg's suggestion the association carried out an extensive advcrtisng campaign fo, the purpose of soliciting employment. The result was gratifying, for many students were given enmlloymient. It does not take a seer to point out the destiny of our associa-tion. The bygone days tell their story and the eyes of faith and hope can see visions which make the heart of the Christian rejoice.

Miss Rhodes and Miss Beardsley kindly consented to act as sponsors of such a club, alnd a ineeting of all those interested in art was called. Quite a number responded and a club was organized, with Winnifred Wadsworth, president; Harriet Standke, vice presi-dent; Virginia Fox, secretaly, and l)oris Compton, treasurer. Anyone interested could join, and members of the faculty were taken in as associate members. The object of the club was to study the works of the great masters, foster a spirit of art alpplreciation in the school, and to give a chance for practical work from life to those who had a special talent for sketching. The club was then divided into two sections. one, the appre-ciation section, devoted entirely to the study of works of art, and the other, the sketching section, giving its time to sketching only. These sections meet twice each month and take up their regular lines of work. Under the guidance of Miss Beardsley, the appreciation sec-tion has taken up the study of the Renaissance of art in Italy. Giotto, Ghiberti, Della Robbia, I)onatello, Fra Angelico, Andrea Del Sarto, Botticelli, Fra Bartolomnea, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo and others have been studied. Through the use of the lantern, copies of the masterpieces have been thrown onto the screen where all could see and enjoy them. The significance of the pictures, the lines and work of the masters, conditions under which they worked, and the p)rincil)les of art known at the time were then discussed by club members. This has been a very interesting diversion, and now that we understand those old masters we have learned to love them. During this time the sketching section has not been idle. Twice each month they have met and sketched from models. This work has been entirely a new field for many of the club members, and under the guidance and inspiration of Miss Rhodes, has proved to be intensely interesting. A variety of characters have been sketched; Mary Kean, as an immigrant; Mr. Leniach in his engineer's clothes; Stella Lovejoy as an Italian peasant; Ruby Colbert as a Turkish woman; Hazel Dickson as Martha Washing- :7 u ~ ~ 7;:-N~ 4 ZC gt;--. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 122 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Alethia Club 122 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 123 ---------- ~ .. ,::: :'Z ~1 I .. i': 4: .

When the weather became pleasant during the spring the model was posed out of doors and the land-scape sketched in as well. The social side has not been neglected either, for at different times throughout the year joint meetings have been held. The most memorable of these were the cafeteria lunch, the trip to Miss Hay's cabin and the times Miss Rhodes and Miss Stephen entertained at their respective homes. One privilege of the club was to give an exhibit of outside work during the year. The club began these exhibits in a modest way just before Christmas by holding an exhibit in the faculty room of the prints of Carl Larsson, the well known Swedish painter of home life. Mr. Larsson had become familiar to many members ol the school by his fine exhibit at the San Francisco exposition. Our exhibit was visited by students, faculty and towns folk and much enjoyed by all.

Our aim has been to promote further interest in literary work, and we feel justified in saying that we have reached the desired end. In the first day of October we met together for the first time .; to order. A constitution was drawn up and signed. The name Aletheia was given to the club, meaning "Truth." A worthy set of officers were elected to launch the new organization. We opened the new club expectant of many enjoyable times, but when, on December 9, Mr. Hunt, our sponsor, announced his intention of leaving to do work in the High School, we felt our-selves lost. Happily we found in the faculty a new member, Mr. Parish, whom we have learned to love and who has served as a sponsor with brilliant success. Who will forget the Christmas tree on December 16, loaded with presents for every member? The Christmas songs by Mr. Parish rang in our ears long after we had departed and gone to our respective homes. On the evening of January 20 the domestic science room was the scene of a pretty banquet in honor of our departing midyear graduates, Miss Bertha Vol Nagel and Miss Florence Chapin. Dr. and Mrs. Nash and Mr. Chapin were our guests of honor. The room was beautifully decorated in red and white, the club colors, and many interesting toasts followed. We all enjoyed our evening with "Daddy" Parish when he took us on a trip to learn something about sunny Italy, conducted personally by Dr. Nash. On returning we were all served with bread and milk, all day suckers, then sent home. We found that our society contained expert debaters, readers and musicians, so we gathered at a track meet to learn something about their lung capacity, fleetness of foot, appetite and strength. It was too bad the athletic season was so near at an end or we could have shown more of our great strength. I must not forget to mention the fact that we also have capable lawyers in our midst. Helen Eagan and Ed Rairdon made the mock court trial of the case Mattson vs. Holbrook a very ex-citing one. We meet together every other Thursday evening, and so much has happened it would take a great deal of room to tell it all. St. Patrick's day must be remembered. Roll call was an-swered by Irish jokes and a typical Irish program, followed by debate and games. CHRISTINE MATTSON, Reporter. L. ll ' .

It is just the jolliest, most happy-go-lucky bunch of girls you ever met, without a single misunderstanding for a whole school year except for the time when a certain young man made the serious mistake of inviting two of the girls to an entertain-ment. Then such tears and such haughty looks that fairly froze the blood of the sympathetic onlookers as there was at the Y. W. C. A. for a few days! But like all thunderstorms, the trouble soon blew over and was forgotten. Only, for the benefit of the few young men who may read these lines, take heed and profit by this sad tale and when calling at the Y. W. C. A., either bring another young man with you (which is by far more prelerable), or only invite one young lady at a time. You would like to meet the girls? Why, that is the easiest thing in the world. Just put on your jolliest smile and I will introduce them. The young lady who comes walking rapidly toward us is none other than Gertrude McMahan, president of the Students' Association and the roommate of Mary Jane Bestor, the Y. W. C. A.'s sure cure for the blues, in other words, happiness. I believe Miss Mary Jane was at one time president of the Seattle Club but has tried to conceal the fact by being the joke editor of the Klipsun. That girl who is the center of so much hilarity is Miss Cassie Cales, loved by all the girls. She was formerly manager of the Normal cafeteria and now is president of that of the Y. W. C. A. The quiet young lady who is vainly trying to restrain Miss Cales is Frances Bonell, our literary critic of whom we are so proud. Helen Peterson, whose laugh we hear above the talking. is the "Cunning Infant" who took English VIlId under Miss \oll-mer, and now is patiently toiling to win a button in Palmer Methods. The demure little girl who is observing the fun? That is Sara Lopp, or as we love to call her, "Our Sally." Good things come in small packages, for Sally is president of the Sourdough Club and a member of the Normal Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. What's that? You heard someone call "Merry Christmas!" No, they are not crazy from the warm May weather, they were D. . ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 126 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Normal Girls at City Y.W.C.A. 126 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 127 ---------- merely calling Miss Merry Christmas I)ay, who once in a great while entertains us with her singing. Her roommate, Miss Ruth Galber, our noted authority on forestry and the associate editor of the Klipsun, spent a very ex-citing half hour one evening while Dr. Kirkpatrick was calling on Merry, sick with La Grippe. It so happened it was swimming night at the house and Ruth foolishly dallied too long in getting ready. As the doctor came unexpectedly Ruth was ol)liged to patiently and quietly wait in the clothes closet till he left. You would like to meet the young lady with the big brown eyes, you say. That is Miss Dorothy Gatton our taleiited artist. Nor are we lacking in brilliant stu(lents. There is Norma Bardon, whose ability to recite is a source of leasure to all; Ade-laide Mitchell, our "geometrical genius," who patiently toils to prove "things equal to the same thing are eqlUal to each other"; Gladys White, who quotes psychology by the hour and is striving to find the Missing Link in the theory of evolution, and Mary Trunkey, who has written an invaluable book on the sublject, "Mrs. Samson's Ideas on Teaching Geography." Yes, indeed, the parlor is often used in the evening. Miss Frances McCorkle esp)ecially, tacks the busy sign on the door quite frequently. One of our girls most important to the Normal students is Mary Chapin who, five days a week, suplies food for the inner nman. Are you interested in fancy work? If so consult Hilda Rein-seth for patterns in crocheting. I)o not be alarmed. That strange shriek you just heard w as only Agnes Laufman practicing her vocal lesson. That was her faithful chum who just came in, Harriet Abercrombie, whom we all believe will some lay become the second Mrs. Termaat. Dame Fashion is represented in the Y. 1V. C. A. as well as the Arts and Sciences. Miss Elsie Day is our best authority on the styles of 1917. With the New Year came a new mai(I into our house, Marie Strickler, who was fortunate enough to know a member of the Wenatchee bashethall team when it was here. Of course we were not jealous! But the New Year also took from us two of our old friends, Solway Kanekkeberg, Senoir Class replresentative, anid lalle Hauge, both of whom have been misse(1 by all the girls.

First Quarter Pres. Second Quarter I'res. Third Quarter Pres. IFourth Quarter Rural Life Club For some time previous to 1915 the school had felt the need of a new organization, one that should be exclusive and that should train its members to perform the social work of rural com-munities. It was to meet these needs that the Rural Life Club was organized early in the year with Miss Keeler and Mr. Hulse as sponsors for the new organization. Mr. Bond was chosen as the third member by the unanimous vote of the club. Whatever successes the club may have attained have been due in no small measure to the generous work of our faculty members. The club is inclusive, having one hundred twenty members. These meet in three separate groups for study and practice under the direction of our sponsors. Our club prides itself on being democratic. New officers are elected each quarter and new group officers at each meeting in order to give actual practice to the greatest number possible. Meetings are held twice each month. The first hour of the evening is spent in work and the second in literary programs, with all imembners present. At these programs we have enjoyed excellent talks by Dr. Nash, Miss Keeler, Mr. Bond and Miss Everett. With our work we do not forget the social side. The frolics in the big gymnasium, with music, games and refreshments are one of the club's special features. We feel that we can say without boasting that our club is fulfilling its purpose, due to the excellent spirit among its mem- L bhers and to our most excellent sponsors. 129 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 130 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Industrial Club 130 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 131 ---------- Industrial Club The tremulous battery, Earth, Responds to the touch of man; It thrills to the Antipodes, From Boston to Japan. ----EMERSON. The Industrial Club was organized and adopted its constitu-tion in early October, 1915. The members of this organization have striven to live up to its purpose, which is "the promotion of efficiency of its members, and the extension of interest in the industrial education in the state of Washington." The most interesting phase of our club work has been that of excursions. These excursions have consisted of trips to indus-trial centers in and about Bellingham. In the fall we visited D)onovan's Lumber Mill, the Pacific Steam Laundry and the Bellingham Ice Plant. We visited the Royal Dairy Model Farm and the cement plant this spring. Another interesting feature has been deImonstrations and talks. These have been given by: Dr. Newbill-"Cold Pack Canning Process." Mrs. Jones-"Rural School Achievement Clubs." Dr. Herre-"Vocalional Guidance." Prof. Shaw, of Minnesota-"Agricultural Possibilities in Washington." Dr. Nash-"Personal Experiences in the Musical World of Germany." Now for our parties and general good times: January 27-New members were initiated into the mysteri's of our club. After the serious side of things came the "stunts," enjoyed at the new members' expense. After the little sup-per, served by Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby, we sang and finished the evening's entertainment in merry style. January 29-An unusual experience in Washington was en-joyed by the club in the form of a sleigh ride. Only those who have had such an experience can conceive of the thrilling joys of that afternoon in the big bob-sled. Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby, as our chaperones, enjoyed it with us. We will not forget the St. Patrick's day party, held on March 16, for many moons. It was, in truth, an Irish party. Our club extends thanks to those who, though not members, ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 132 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 College Club 132 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 133 ---------- helped us in our musical programs. Prof. Parish and Mr. Glo-man did much toward the enjoyment of these programs, and Miss Lovejoy entertained us with readings. The efforts of those connected with the club are much ap-preciated. Miss Ormsby and Mr. Scudder have helped us in more ways than we can mention. Miss McCown and Mr. Chute, honor-ary members, have been especially energetic and helpful. Various committees, and others in the club who have aided in making our organization a success, deserve a vote of thanks. CLIB OFFICERS THOMAS ScASETH --- -- -President MR. D.

DUNAGAN - Chairman Social Commnillee LuCILE PEARSON ----- - Reporter College Club Notes The College Club was organized early in the school year for social purposes, the only requirement for membership being that each should have attended college for at least one semester. Sev-eral schools are represented in the membership, our own state university suplplying by far the greatest numlber. Washington State College, Whitworth, the University of Oregon, 0. A. C., the University of Montana, Willamette University, Cornell, Pratt In-stitute and Pacific University are also represented. Miss Sumner was chosen for faculty member by the club. Mr. Bond has also been one of our most enthusiastic and earnest boosters. A banquet was held at the Leopold Hotel soon after the for-mation of the club. Soon after this Miss Marion Lane entertained the members at her home on Eldridge avenue. Mr. Gloman only recently held open house for us. One of the most enjoyable events in the student activities of the year was the College Capers, which was held on Saturday evening, April 1st, with over one hundred invited guests in attend-ance. Extensive preparations had been made for making this one of the most lively and care-dispelling affairs, especially since it was scheduled for All-Fools' day. There were side shows, free ___ _ - ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 134 ---------- throws at the renowned "dodger," "teeters" for young and those not so young. One of the best fun- producers was the "slide," which was placed at the entrance of the large training school gymnasium, where the festivities were held. This completely filled the door-w ay and served as the only means of admittance. It was great fun watching the faculty members, and especially did Mrs. Thatcher bring forth applause from the onlookers. At the bottom of the slide "jitneys" met the guests and trans-ported them to various p)arts of the premises, to the side shows, cozy corners and other places of interest. In the program of the evening the "Big Four" quartet of the faculty were represented lby members of the club. The crowd was entertained more by the peculiar "make-ups" than by the music which was dispensed. Andrew Shold and Thomas Scarseth put on a Swedish dialect sketch, and those present heartily enjoyed the scene, which cen-tered about the question as to which was the better elocutionist. The chief number on the program was the "Village School," as portrayed by memlbers of the Normal faculty. Miss Norton assumed the responsible position of schoolmistress and Prof. Bever was the visiting member of the "hoard." Mr. Bond in Buster Brown attire, Prof. Phillipi with towseled hair, and Dr. Deerwester as the "teacher's pet," was certainly irresistible. Mrs. Terniaat and the "Twins" played their parts to perfection. The spelling match and program occupied the principal part of the school work, and they drew generous applause from all. We know now that our staid and dignified faculty members can chew gum, pull hair and do other stunts commonly found in the village schoolroom (not in the training school). The Ukulele Club furnished music throughout the evening and was the center of attraction for much of the time. After "weenie" sandwiches had been carefully stored away, the final act of the evening's comedy took place. This was in the nature of a flashlight picture, with the "Village School" occupying a prominent position in the foreground. A "bug hike" to Whatcom Falls was indulged in by the club the second week in April. Each one carried his own "bug," which supplied light whenever light was needed. At the Falls weenies Sw ere roasted and eaten to the rhythm of ghost stories, weird and awful. At the close of the evening's pleasures several returned home afoot, the remainder taking the car in preference. 134 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 135 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Normal Glee Club Front row, left to right: Frank Bowen, Mrs. Thatcher (director), Paul Holbrook, Prof. W.

Under the able leadership of Mrs. Thatcher we were able to give several selections before the assembly and before a combined meeting of the Rural Life Club and the Social-Democratic Club. Early in November we journeyed to Marietta, where we fur-nished the program for a basket social. The trip was especially enjoyed because of the fact that the stage that Mr. Parish rode in broke down and had to be towed in by the other stage. Since the first of the year we have been practicing hard on the comic opera "Mikado," which was given April 28, 1916. This was staged jointly by the Girls' Choral Club and the Boys' Glee Club, and it goes without saying that the play was a success. Choral Club 'The Choral Club, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, repre-sents one of the most enthusiastic and helpful organizations of the school. The membership is larger than ever before. The past year has been a pleasant and profitable one for each and every member. The scheme of having a program of two or three numbers at the weekly meetings has been successfully carried out and some exceptionally good talent has been discovered among the members. S Early in January the club rendered two selections in honor of the county superintendents, and January 21 gave an excellent number at the commencement exercises. The best work of the club has been done on the oratorio, "The Messiah," and the opera "The Mikado." The training in this work has been of very great value. The officers of the club are as follows: STELLA GOYNE -- ---- President LOUISE BUCHANAN -. --- Vice President MARION LOVEJOY - - - - Secretary-Treasurer 136 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 137 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Choral Club 137 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 138 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Sourdough Club 138 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 139 ---------- Sourdough Club Some eighteen or more students from various parts of Alaska who attended the 1915 Summer School session decided to hand together and form a club. A lively clubl was soon organized, pur-posing to welcome all new 'Alaskan students; ait( and( assist new teachers blound for Alaska; to interest and acq(uaint other people with the true life and beauty of the Northland. School work was very pressing, as all Normalites know, but nevertheless we found time for some jolly social gatherings, beach parties and hikes for Sehome. The officers and members for the summer term were: Hanson Berg, Chief; Sara Lopp, Keeper of Nuggets; Marie Thonmesen, Tra(dition Carver. Ruth Hall, lKetchikan; Mrs. Tupper, Fairbanks; Gertrude Wylbrant, Metlakahtla; Elizabeth Boyle, Juneau; Agnes l)anford, Metlakahtla; Clara l)errick, Hydaherg; Abbie Crepeau, Skagway; Miss Moss, Douglas; Ida (rosse; June Matheny, Bert Harlowv, Miss Maude Drake, Miss Turney, Emmnnia Jackson, l)r. Nash, honorary membler, Miss M. Z. Wilson. Shortly after the ol)ening of the fall term of school the fol-lowing officers were elected and new imemlhers p)resented for mem-bership: Bert Harlow, Chief; Sara Loppl, Keeper of Nuggets and Tradition Carver. We were glad to receive many new imemibers, both from the faculty and student body. Greetings of the club were extended to the following good and tried Sourdoughs: Mr. Parish, of the faculty; Mr. Rindall, of the faculty; Miss Ethel Brown, of the faculty; Miss Nellie Lee, of the faculty; Caro- line Kelsie, Valdez, Alaska; Nonna Petellin, Afognak, Alaska; Helmi Aalto, Douglas, Alaska; John Estes, Nome, Alaska; Andrew Teweit, Southeastern Alaska; Bert Ward, Southeastern Alaska; Lulu Dieckoff, Truman Parish. Other members returning for school work were Sara Lopp), Ida Grosse, Bert Harlow, Emma Jackson, June Matheny, Hanson Berg. We were sorry to lose Miss Jackson and Miss Grosse from our number, but they happily completed their work earlier than we and mushed to other scenes. The officers that will greet members of the summer school are: Sara Lopp, Chief; Helmni Aalto, Carver of Traditions; June Matheny, Keeper of Nuggets. 139 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 140 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Hesperian Club 140 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 141 ---------- The Hesperian Literary Society MOTTO-"A nbilion and Spirit Mean Success."

HUNT - - - - Faculty Advisor GIRTRUDE KAUFMAN -. ----- Editor We, the Hesperians, first appeared in our amoeba state as the Swastika and Delphian societies; then we grew to the state of real life; and now we have reached that highest state of advance, namely, the Hesperians. Through all these stages we have exhibited remarkable pre-cocity and wisdom. Even our respected opponents, the Klohoy-ans, acknowledge us the leading literary society in school, do they not? (They do not). Which is to be sus - excuse me-expected. Our programs, as well as we ourselves, have been good. I mean it. We have musicked, read, recited, sung and debated. We have pondered and considered questions all the way from "whether Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' is considered one of the great-est plays," to "which came first, the egg or the chicken?" There is nothing too great for us to handle, nothing too small for us to talk about. Our discussions or del)ates have been particularly good, for in our assembled midst we have bright heads. The average at least is particularly good, for some make up in brilliancy for the deficiency in others. Those who had talent exhibited it. Those who did not bluffed it through gloriously. In our school monthly we have kept you posted as to what we were doing, so for a more extensive report you may look there. Just one word more, and to the other organizations of the Washington State Normal School: We are doing very well, and hope you are the same. We've made our mark and hope you have made yours. GERTRUDe KAUFMAN, Editor. 141 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 142 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Klohoya Club 142 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 143 ---------- KLOHOYA SOCIETY Work, work, work, Till the brain begins to swim, Work, work, work, Till the eyes are heavy and dim." This fragment from a poem by Thomas Hood (you see. we take it for granted that you don't know who wrote it), echoes the writer's sentiments at just this moment. But of course writing about such a jolly "bunch" as the Klohoyas is not (?) work. We were organized last fall and consist of about half the pupils in the High School-the part chosen by Arthur C. Craw-shaw, president of one of the former societies. You see, there were two societies, the Delphian Girls and the Swastika Boys. There seemed to be an utter lack of spirit and enthusiasm, so by a unanimous vote of the student body they were dissolved and two new ones formed. The two plresidents chose alternately a boy and a girl until the list was finished. We are the ones who meet in the study hall every Thursday. Now that you know something of our history, we shall proceed to tell you something about our members. Our president, Kenneth Selby, is also president of the Junior class. Our vice president, Herbert Yorkston, is yell leader of the High School. Our secretary-treasurer, Helen Maxwell, is one of the most popular girls in school. The editor, Marguerite Brotnov, is secretary of the Senior class. Miss Rowen, our helpful faculty advisor, is known and loved by all. Besides that, every member of the orchestra, save one, is a member of the Klohoya. We have had some very interesting and splendid programs, for which we thank the program committee, Arthur Crawshaw, chairman, Eva Bond, and Dorothy Swartz. There is usually a musical number which is always appre-ciated to the fullest extent. We have also had some very comic readings. Ask Herbert Yorkston if you want to know more about that. We have also had debates anti papers that were well pre-pared and thoroughly interesting. Then you must know, we have student critics. They are ap-pointed by the president to judge the programs, and always give a speech (?) at the end of the program criticizing the numbers. Sometimes impromptu speeches are asked for. Quite a number of good ones have been given on subjects as "Prisons in Philippines," "Beauties of Colorado," "Printing at the Shop," "Mechanical I)raw-ing," "Tariff on Peanuts,' "Nothing," and "Preparedness." 143 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 144 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Tacoma Club 144 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 145 ---------- Tacoma Club The Tacoma Club was organized during the early part of the school year for the purpose of fostering and plronoting social intercourse among the students at Normal who have lived( or at-tended school in Tacoma. The club boasts a melmbership of forty-five energetic, en-thusiastic, talented, in a word, true blue children of Tacomia, and among whom are not only former leaders of the Tacoma high schools but persons who are prominent in the activities of our old Bellingham Normal. As I look down the list of members I see that some among us are presidents and officers of other societies in the school; some have made the tears flow and the throat ache with our stage ability; others have delighted assemblies and clubs with our musi-cal talent. Of course there are the social stars, while not a few have been merely brilliant. Moreover, we assure you that your love of mere personal beauty may be satisfied. Mr. Walter Johnson has ably served as plresident of this worthy body. The other officers are: HELEN EAGAN ---- Vice President LUCIL.LE PEARSON - - - - Secreary-Treasurer LEONE BAKER - - - Chairma n Social Continillee MARY DODGE - - - Chairmian Program Commillee CLYDE DAVIDSON - - - Sergeant-at-Arnms FRANCES REEDY - - Messenger Reporter Miss LEE AND Miss DAvIS - - - - - Sponsors The Tacoma organizations of the past have been of a tempo-rary nature, but a movement is now on to make this a perma-nent institution. The best wishes of the club are extended to the future members and may even greater success attend them. 7, ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 146 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Miss Lucy S.

With the large increase in the number of students enrolled in the Normal has come also a great increase in the blusiness of the association, esplecially in the bookstore, athletic and messen-ger divisions.

A. affairs for this year consisted of an enjoyable ex-cursion to East Sound May, 1915; the Student Mixer in September, n.' at which the students divided into state groups, performed various and original stunts, and were served to ice cream in the domestic science rooms; a Christmas party, which sent everyone home for the holidays with a heart full of cheer and good will toward the Normal School at Bellingham, and as a final, the Chuckanut Marathon, a hike which is coming to be an annual affair, participated in by all four classes. The past year has brought forth great success for both boys and girls in athletics. We are proud to own the best football team in the history of the school and a most successful season of basketball for both boys and girls. All athletics have had the hearty and enthusiastic support of the students and faculty, shown by attendance upon games, parades and rousing assem-blies held in celebration of both defeats and victories-and we are proud to say in the majority, victories. And so we bid farewell to a happy and prosperous year and wish the same, or even better, for the coming year. STUDENT MIXER The first social event of the year was the annual student mixer, held in the auditorium Friday evening, September 10. The entire student body was divided into groups which were: The Foreigners, Southern States, Thirteen Original Colonies, North Central States, Plateau States, Great Lake States, Pacific Coast States, United States Possessions, and State of Washington. Each group performed a stunt typifying the states represented. All were very original and showed a great deal of interest and enthu-siasm. Many a person won a name for himself which will last as long as he remain at B. S. N. S., and probably will go with him into his work. Before the stunts the following program was given: "A Word of Greeting to the New Students and New Members of the Faculty" - - - - - - Miss Hays "A Greeting to Everyone From an Old Student" - Ruth Conner Reading from Kipling - - - - - - Mr. Hoppe Vocal Solo - - - - - - - Mrs. Deerwester Vocal Solo - - - - - - - Mrs. Thatcher 156 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 157 ---------- After the program all went to the large new gymnasium for an hour of games and to become better acquainted. Ice cream and wafers were served in the dining room and the happy evening closed with everyone feeling better acquainted than before. PHILOIMA THEAN BIRTHDAY PARTY The sixth annual birthday party of the Philomathean Liter-ary Society was held in the club room Saturday evening, Novem- her 20, 1915. The room was beautifully decorated in the Philo colors, green and white. The first part of the evening was spent in games. Later refreshments were serve(l, the feature of this being a huge birthday cake decorated with six green candles and containing many symbols in the form of rings, thimbles and pen-nies. Miss Josephine Male acted as toastmistress, carrying out the part with much credit. Since this was the beginning of the seventh year of Philo existence, Shakespeare's seven ages of man were used as a foundation, with each age a year in the life of the society. Each year was represented by a member who joined the society that year. Miss Reichert recited the experience during babyhood of the society. Miss Scott, who was to tell of the boy-hood, was unfortunately unable to attend. Then came the lover, represented by Miss Devereaux; the soldier, by Miss Kannekkberg, and the justice by Mr. Klaus. Mr. Hougen cleverly gave the old man in an original poem. The toastmistress pointed out that hav-ing arrived at the seventh age, we deviate from Shakespeare in being not at the end of our usefulness, but stronger and more active as the years go by. Miss Reedy and Miss Vogel gave several vocal solos which added greatly to the program. Many old members of former years attended the celebration. Dr. Nash was called upon and proclaimed himself a Philomatheanii of thirty years' standing. Mr. Philippi contributed a few reminis-cences, and the toastmistress read a greeting received from the Philos of Chehalis county. The singing of the Philo song brought the evening to a close. Y. W. C. A. BANQUET One of the most beautiful and elaborate social functions held during the year was the Y. W. C. A. membership banquet, given at Eden's Hall, December 4, at 7:30. The dining room was beau- ... - ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 158 ---------- tifully decorated in chrysanthemums and ivy. A large bouquet of these flowers graced each table, the effect being enhanced by soft shaded candles, which afforded the only source of light. The guests were led into the dining room by Miss Pierce and Dr. Nash, while the Victrola played softly. When all had found their places Dr. Nash returned thanks and the following delicious supper was served: Y. W. C. A. Salad, Golden Dressing Chicken en Coquille. Delmonico Potatoes Macedoine of Vegetable Glace Harvard Bleedingheart Rolls Olives Jelly Strawberry Ice Cream. Cake. Coffee Nuts Mints Miss Pierce, the president, introduced Miss Maimee Davis as toastmistress at the conclusion of the banquet. Each toast was founded on the Scripture reference: "I am the vine and my Father is the husbandman."-John 15:I. The Vine - - - - - - Bertha Vol Nagel The Branches - - - - Henrietta Welsh The Roots - - - Isabel Cuthbertson Sap - - - - - - - Nellie Balch Solo - - - - - - Miss Effie Sands The Leaves - - - - - Stella Goyne Tendrils - - - - - - Alice Lund Fruit - - - - - - Beatrice Bair ('14) The Husbandman - - - - Alma Armstrong Much benefit was derived from the evening's entertainment, and the assurance that the life worth living is the branch growing out of the true vine, was more deeply impressed upon all present. THESPIAN MID- YEAR BANQUET The midyear Thespian banquet was given at the Leopold Hotel December 16, and was a decided success. The Christmas idea was carried thrcughout in an attractive way. A brightly deco- rated Christmas tree occupied the center of the table and shaded candles cast a ruddy glow over the room. Sprigs of holly were scattered here and there over the table, adding much to the deco-rations. Dainty place cards completed the Christmas effect. 158 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 159 ---------- Mr. Henry Ashman acted as toastmaster and proved himself to be well fitted for the occasion. The toasts were all given in a very pleasing and striking manner. "The Girls" - - - Walter Kelly "The Boys" - - Ruth Conner Thespian Lyrics in Parody - - Margaret Bressler "Smiles" - - Jettie Jones Solo, "Just Because" - - - Jettie Jones Response - - - - - - Miss Rose Baxter Solo, "Mighty Lak' a Rose" - - Louise Buchanan "Things for Which We Should Count Ourselves Fortunate" - - - - Delbert Hennes Mr. Louis Brown then came forth to distribute interesting packages from beneath the Christmas tree and the heart of each was made glad by a simple gift-for example, Miss Wilson took de-light in a horn with a bell attachment. TEA AT EDEN'S HALL FOR MID-YEAR'S One of the affairs in honor of the mid-year graduating class was an afternoon tea given by Miss Hays, in the parlor at Eden's Hall, Friday afternoon, January 7th, from 3 until 5. The room was decorated in harmony with the season and presented a pleasing appearance. An informal program was given, entirely musical in character, consisting of solos by Mesdames Thatcher, Hoppe, Colby and Prof. Parish. The faculty and wives were present mingling with the young people in a delightful way. Mrs. Philippi and Miss Sumner presided over the tea table. In every way the afternoon' was spent enjoyably. MID-YEAR RECEPTION Monday evening, January 17, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash enter-tained in a charming way with a musicale in the Normal auditor-ium. The guests numbered about four hundred, including the mid-year Seniors, the Faculty and their wives, and the immediate friends of Dr. and Mrs. Nash. The guests were met at the door by the host and hostess and then ushered to the auditorium by young men of the Normal. The auditorium and two adjoining rooms were tastefully decorated with potted ferns and baskets of scarlet carnations. A very pleasing program was rendered. Mme. Hesse- Sprotte, appearing as a soloist. was charming and repeatedly en-cored. Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee gave a finished ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 160 ---------- interpretation of the overture "Rosamunde," by Schubert, and Mrs. Cross delighted the audience with two piano solos which were heartily encored. Mr. J. Werner Hoppe, of the Cheney State Nor-mal, read "Prince Chap" very effectively, holding hrs audience spellbound to the last. The program was as follows: Overture to "Rosamunde" - - - Schubert Mrs. Larrabee and Mrs. Cross. (a) "Ah, Mein Sohn," aira from "The Prophet" - - - - - - - - - G. Meyerbeer (b) Der Tod und das Madchen - Schubert (c) Fruchlingsnacht - - - - Schumann Mine. Hesse-Sprotte. "Prince Chap" - - - - Edward Peebles Mr. Hoppe.

(a) Hark, Hark, the Lark - - - Schubert-Lizst (b) Shakespeare's Serenade (c) Caprice Espagnol - - - - - Morkowski Mrs. Cross. Following the program a buffet supper was served. Miss Ormsby and Miss McCown presided over the tables, assisted by Mrs. Ray Smith, Mrs. D. F. Dunagan. Grace Danskin, Lulah Rad-ley, Veda Hunt, Katherine Mitchell, Olga Hagen, Hilda Matson, Alma Anderson, Harriet Tyler, Marion Lovejoy and Antoinette Connelly. Assisting about the rooms were Mrs. S. E. Tift, Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, Miss Frances Hayes, Miss Rose Baxter, Miss Mae Mead, Miss Hattie Willoughby, Miss Mary Bowen and Miss M. Belle Sperry. The young men who acted as ushers were Mr. New-ton McCoy, Mr. Gerald Van Horn, Mr. Kirby Smith, Mr. Delbert Hennes, Mr. Douglas Hanbloom, Mr. Frank Hubbard, Mr. Henry Ashman, Mr. Walter Johnson and Mr. Nat Mount. ALKISIAH BANQUET One of the pretty affairs of the second semester was the Alki-siah banquet, held in the large dining room of the Leopold Hotel, Thursday evening, February 17. The banquet was given in honor of the new members of the second semester. About forty were in 160 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 161 ---------- attendance. The tables were arranged to form a huge "A" and a valentine scheme was carried out in decoration. Soft, red shaded candles lent a pleasing touch to the covers. Vases of pussy wil-lows and cherry blossoms gave an added charm. The place cards were decorated with bashful little Kewpies, each card containing a bar of music made of heart-shaped notes. After a sumptous six-course dinner, Mrs. Bessie Albert acted as toastmistress and the following were given in verse: "To the New Members" - - Leah Dudgeon Response Bernice Ely "The Faculty" - - - Maude Carfield Response - - - - - - Miss Willoughby "The Club" - - - - - - Miss Gray After the banquet the club was the guest of Miss Willoughby at the American Theater to see Cyril Maude in "Peer Gynt." The evening was a most enjoyable one, long to be remembered by all. SENIOR RECEPTION The Seniors, Faculty and wives were on their best behavior Saturday evening, April 29, 1916. The annual faculty reception to Seniors was held at that time at the Aftermath club house. Seniors are capable of doing almost anything, from acting a "kid" to the most dignified school teacher, the latter being the case on this par-ticular evening. Gold and green being the class colors, daffodils and greens of all descriptions were used as decorations. The room was aglow with the bright yellow flowers i)artly hidden among the greens. A very delightful and pleasing program was given, consisting of a violin solo by iMmDe.a venport Engberg, piano solo by Mrs. Irving J. Cross, vocal solos by Mesdames Nash, Deerwester and Mr. Harrison T. Raymond, and a reading by Miss Abby H. Sumner. After the program light refreshments were served. The re-mainder of the evening was spent in a social way and in becoming better acquainted before the time came to part. 161 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 162 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 JUST SENIORS 162 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 163 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Drama - Music 163 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 164 ---------- 'PRIVATE SECRETARY" CAST Hanbloom, Mount, Brown, Miller, Sonner.

The talent in the cast was decidedly unusual and coupled with the excellent coaching of Miss Abby Sumner, of the Expres-sion department, it made the play, as many agree(d, the finest amateur production ever given at the Normal.

One of the best known songs in the opera is the trio, "Three Little Maids From School." Frances Reedy was a most coquettish Yum-Yum, and her two sisters (Marion Lovejoy and Louise Buchanan) were both breezy and Jap-a-nees-y. 170 "THE MIKADO" This picturesque little two- act Japanese drama was given in a creditable manner by the Choral and Glee Clubs April 28.

This comedy seems particularly appropriate, as it is especi-ally adapted to the time of the year and portrays the revelation of Shakespeare in one of his happiest moods, with its accompani-ment of fairy revels.

At what dizzy height was I Above a world of radiant things- On a cloud that sailed the sky? A ship of pearl--its helmsman, I On a blue sea splashed with foam; The earth grew dim, we passed it by, Thru strange, new worlds to roam. Oh, ship of which the poets sing- My gypsy cloud-and they call you "Spring." I rushed thru meadows of rolling green, My feet seemed shod with life, My soul made answer to things unseen- As my heart to the stray wind's lyre. I drank of the beauty of sunlit towers, Of the cool of whispering streams; And, stooping, I filled my arms with flowers, Just wakened from dewy dreams. Oh, flower of which the poets sing-- My daisy face--and they call you "Spring." I climbed to the top of a moss-grown tower, With the musty soul of years, To view from its ruin the day's last hour- And the heavens it shot with spears. Thru the frail rose-dusk-day's afterglow, Stealing thru silence, like sparkles of light, Quivering with love, the silver notes flow From the soul of the singer in unseen flight. Oh, music of which the poets sing, My wandering lark-and they call you "Spring." GERTRUDE L. MIARKELL. L~i ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 174 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY "SORROW'S TALISMAN" The solitude of many centuries had settled upon that silent vale. For many centuries doubtless it had remained unsolved, mystical and peaceful-with but one exception-and now I pray that until eternity it shall ever sleep, unmoved by civilization's advance and unexplored by the innate curiosity of man. I pray that it shall rest through the stillness of those tropic nights of heavy dew and pale unearthly vapor, and days of scorching sun; that its great lizards and spiders basking in the intense heat on every naked rock and sun-baked patch of earth shall ever keep it company; and the wind, too, that passes along the cypress trees at nightfall. A temple once stood there, facing the open side of a great hill and the sea beyond. There yet remain, vast and immutable, a slab of ebon blackness set within a facade of crumbling stone and on it is graven a figure, the strange and terrible deity of an extinct religion. Its many arms radiate from the body and one is held aloft, high above the head, clinched as if invoking some awful sentence. So high, in fact, is that hand held that the dying sun touches it last of all, burnishing it with a strange radiance so that it seems to glitter for a moment, before the sun has disap-peared below the horizon. One would swear, upon gazing in-tently, that the hand, scintillating there in the sunlight, moved slightly ere the night's breath passed along the ruined temple and rustled among the leaves of the bushes, dying in sad cadance within the forest. It is always the part of Americans to disturb the tranquility of such places, and their action often terminates in happiness or disaster. The story about to follow is, in fact, so widely distorted lby the unreal I little doubt that the reader will attribute the tale to the class of Munchausen. Pledged to one departed, I will not relate, in my poor way, the mystery that surrounded the most unfortunate of men. To me the story offers little solution-it only increases the horrible mystery I fain would fathom. Early in the last half of the past century Gordon Burke, com-paratively well-to-do and young, found himself wandering aim- 174 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 175 ---------- lessly through the easy-going populaces of Northern South Amer-ica, vainly trying to forget his recent failure at Harvard and the death of a beloved mother. A fair knowledge of Spanish enabled him to traverse the beautiful country at ease, which seemed the only form of recreation that somewhat eased his troubled brain and weary heart. In a remote seacoast, where the hills abruptly meet the sea, was a vale, unexplored, avoided, scarce mentioned by the super-stitious natives without the sign of the cross. After useless par-leying and bartering for a guide, Burke set out alone to ascend the hill, beyond which lay the unknown. A mountain village's entire pol)ulace watched him in silence, while ashy faces moaned prayer upon prayer and cast al)prehensive glances until the American was a mnere speck on the hillside, and then drolpped be-yond the crest. His path led circuitously down the gravel slope, in and out among scrubby pines and thorny bushes. Farther (lown, the hill branched into several deep wooded ravines of forbidding and gloomy appearance. Burke chose the darkest of these, for his route, for far below something caught his attention. The way led along a tiny rivulet whose peblles were of unusual beauty and coloring, and o\ver which it was necessary to cross instead of seeking a more difficult path through the rank vegetation along its banks. After an uncertain length of time the wanderer found the rivulet losing itself within a mound of grass and moss-covered rock. A natural amphitheatre presented itself to him, unusually rugged and sparsely vegetated, excepting a rough crescent shape of cypress trees that grew at its base. And here we must ask the obliging reader to recall the open-ing words of this tale, which are in almost the exact words of the late Gordon Burke, Jr. He Iplunged into his narration that way 8 and bade me take it down, but his story became so intense and labored owing to his strange malady that had all but conquered him) I forgot to write and only listened, open-mouthed, till the tale was finished and his talk rambled off into an incoherent paradox. But that glittering hand--it must have moved, for up to the face of the black slab went the American-up to the great face. He was finally able to gain just enough foothold to rise on his tiptoes and look upon the hands. It had been hard work-that climbing- and all of Burke's attention had been drawn to the territory he was scaling, but when he looked-Good Heavens! There was an opal the size of a hen's egg and of such brilliance 175 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 176 ---------- and beauty that he gasped and blinked. There is a given time for admiration and then must come the work, so a jack-knife hacked and pried in the rather loose cement setting until the stone, suddenly loosened from its resting place, disappeared over the black polished stones. Burke was amazed. It meant a search and the search meant a delay. The sun, too, was five minutes on its way to China. In the rank vegetation behind, nothing could be found. Thinking that perhaps it had rolled under one of the numerous boulders he turned to move one of the smaller ones. As he did so his left leg went through the turf-seemed to break through a crust and dangle in space. Naturally, as soon as the leg was taken out he put his head in and peered into the blackness below, and there, as sure as faith, was the big opal lying on the floor of the subter-ranean chamber. The ambitious one laboriously made a hole large enough to drop through, but when the chill of that un-known vault struck his limbs he pictured the horrors of the place into which he had fallen, and braced himself for the inevitable. Even as he did the opal was in his hand and his eyes vainly searching the impenetrable gloom. A very feeble ray shone dully, almost reluctantly it seemed, from the hole above. The air was foul and poisonous, and he knew that sooner or later it would overpower him. A thousand pictures, horribly fantastic, whirled and throbbed beneath his burning forehead. Suddenly the opal began to gleam, gleam, gleam, and from the recess of the gloom came a low "Oh-h-h," dying into a deathly silence. A gust of cold, damp air breathed through the chamber and Burke plunged into the darkness in a vain attempt at escape. He tripped and fell prone on the rocky floor, and that "Oh-h-h" nearer at hand. He came to a half stooping, half raised posture and put forth that gleaming opal in a mad, vain search. Silence followed, but that silence was more horrible than the shrieks and moaning of the Lost. Out of the darkness grew a shape, gigantic, pale and terrible the face of a man distorted by madness and many, many crimes, carved from a pale green, luminous stone. But another face came out of that solitude-smaller yet-God! a human face and yellowish, a sad, pitiful mouth but eyes that stared, jetty, sparkling, never moving, gazing straight ahead. Slowly above those shoulders, clad in a gray indefinite material, came a hand and an arm that crept twitchingly up the base of that green thing and bent forward, slowly crooking its finger and beckoning. The 176 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 177 ---------- face broke into a grin, the lower jaw fell away, displaying rows of brilliant, hideous teeth. A strange weakening, an indescribable sickness came over Burke. He remembered dimly the face growing larger and larger and then running madly. When he came to himself again the moon was out and shone strangely white on his bared head. And he was alone on the hillside in the chill night. North again, and an older man, living quietly on a country estate in Central Kentucky. Then came a girl into the story-as all good stories go--a beautiful girl with the customary eyes and hair and teeth of those we read about. But that was when she first met Burke. She loved him, too, most likely, for they were married one fall when the hills were scarlet, russet and gold. He stood beside her at sunset and held within his hand a great, flaming opal. She silently gazed, wondering, mystified, until the sun was gone and the face of her husband was pale and sorrowful. But one child graced that household. He came, it seemed, to fill the lonely vacancy soon to follow. Yes, she went a year or so later. Burke was in the state legislature then. He failed in business. The next term his party constituents fell away fromn him and he was left alone with his little son to think and mourn the loss of her who had left him. He would hold his mystic opal in his hands at the day's close and think and think-of rugged hills and crumbling temples, mighty images, and the chill of tropic nights on silent hillsides-yes, a certain face now dimly seen, now vast and terrible. Clenching a great, gleaming stone was a hand that presented itself to him at nightfall, bringing an in- describable smothering sensation. Then came weary weeks of an unknown sickness that baffled the skill of Kentucky's best physicians. There was little doubt that his hours were numbered. He sent for a notary and com-pleted the final preparations. The man went away wearing a strange expression. Burke, Jr., was summoned before his dying father. "Son, this will, perhaps, be the last opportunity for a discussion of your future between us two. I feel sometimes that I am leaving some-thing unsaid in my talk to you, but I can only emphasize that you pursue your studies. Perhaps you have a great future before you. I hope so-I hope so. You'll accomplish more than your old dad did. You remind me of your mother, lad, sweet, gentle and true. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 178 ---------- I have little to leave you except this. He drew from under the pillow a small lacquered box. "Take it- perhaps it will bring more good fortune to you than it did to me. I think, perhaps, you can get a good price from Weatherr, he has quite a passion for such things." Burke, Sr., turned his face to the wall, and nis son stolc silently from the room with the black lacquered box in his hand. He entered the library below, where a green-shaded lamp burned on a table heaped with books and papers. Here young Burke sank into a great armchair and began his investigation as he pried open the lid of the tiny box. The stone rolled out upon the table and lay glittering there in the lamplight. Somewhere in the house a door slammed, and involuntarily the boy seized the gleaming object and flung it into a secret drawer on the secretary. Almost as he did so there came a wild, piercing cry from the chamber above. A cold draft swept through the bare halls of the house. The light flashed wildly up in the lamp and went out. Agitated beyond description and cold with fear, he sank motion-less into a chair. Outside the storm gathered itself in fury and there came a rumbling of thunder, growing louder and louder, till with a great roar, accompanied by a vivid lighting flash, something crashed. As the flash came the man upstairs saw his last scene, doubtless the same as he had seen many years before. He was found the next morning, white and motionless, with his hands covering his face. The morning light streamed through the window across the heap of books and papers and across the figure of a boy, lying as if he had fallen asleep at the table. He was carried away laugh-ing and talking of opals and teeth and many hands, of gray-clothed, green-faced things that disturbed his sleep. Being a friend of the family, I called on him later at the hospital. It was during an interval of consciousness that he told me this story of his father and his mother, whom he never re-membered, and himself. Later he died in a convulsion, I am told. To complete. the night of the storm a portion of the Burke house was struck by lightning, the portion adjoining the library. On the following day when the debris was clearea away they found a human arm, mangled and mutilated by the rent timbers, and apparently torn from a body. Near it was found a peculiar bit of crumbled glass, that glittered and shone strangely bright in the sunshine. GRACE JANE SALMON, '17. P-77 r..:21 ...

ASTELS. 2 77 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 180 ---------- SECOND PRIZE STORY SERVICE "Please, teacher, won't you come home to supper with me?" Miss Eliot raised her eyes from the papers she was busily correcting to meet the glowing ones of a little girl, who was gaz-ing adoringly at her. "Come home with you?" repeated the teacher. "But does your mother want me, dear?" "()h, yes," breathed the child. Miss Eliot put her hands to her troubled temples and tried to think. She was just a young slip of a girl but very sweet and womanly. She had a wistful face, but her beautiful violet eyes held a twinkle in them which revealed a strong sense of humor. She glanced again at the little girl in front of her. She was not very tidy--one might know what to expect of her home. But the teacher's thoughts traveled back to her boarding house. There would he Dick-handsome Dick, with the serious eyes and the stul)l)orn chin-Dick, who loved her. She was very tired tonight and she felt she could not resist his pleading eyes. He wished to marry her and take her away from what he called "drudgery," but what the Normal School had called "service." She felt almost tempted to call it by Dick's term tonight. But there had been a time when she had meant to rise to the very top. No, it would not he safe to sit across the table from Dick tonight. Miss Eliot rose hastily and put away her papers. "WTait just a second, Jennie, and I will go with you." A few minutes later the two were walking through the sharp, wintry air. The walk put new life into the girl, and by the time they reached the child's home she was in quite a cheerful frame of mnid. But the look of astonishment on the mother's face when they entered and the disorderliness of the house plainly told her that she had not been expected. She would have turned back to her boarding house, but the snow was falling fast, and besides, "Ma" Mulligan would not forego the honor of having teacher "stay to supper." Miss Eliot was given the seat of honor by a warm fire, and Ma, leaving the little Mulligans to entertain her, went to prepare 180 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 181 ---------- the meal, with the help of Jennie. MAiss Eliot spoke pleasantly to the children and tried in vain to get their opinion on different subjects, but they were so overawed in her presence that they simply sat and stared. At last the teacher gave up and sat and gazed into the fire. dreaming of-Dick. What would he think when she did not come home? Would he come to find her? At last Ma came to the door and announced, "Supper's ready!" It would be hard to explain how all those p)eople distributed themselves around one small table, but they acconiplished the teat. When "Pa" came home he was as much impressed with the unusual occurrence as were the rest of the family. He considered the teacher a walking encyclopedia and was resolved to profit by 7 this opportunity to gain information. He asked all kinds of ques-tions, from "the kind of feed to raise chickens on" to "what the weather will be tomorrow." But he soon applied himself to his supper with a look of disillusion, and the teacher had a guilty feeling that she was disgracing her profession. When the meal was nearly over Ma asked the teacher im- portantly if she "would have a piece of pie?" The latter looked doubtfully at it and answered, "No, thank you." "If the teacher doesn't want any we'll not cut the pie," de-cided Ma. At this the youthful Mulligans set up such a wail as to fairly make the teacher jump out of her chair at the unexpectedness of it--they had been so still before. She hastily changed her mind in regard to the pie and so harmony was restored. Miss Eliot had all she could do to keep her face coml)osed at some of the remarks which were made lby different members of the family. Several times she had a girlish inclination to giggle, but she also had a kind heart and did not wish to hurt their feelings. After she and Jennie had dried the supper dishes the teacher went to sit by the fire until it should be time to go to bed, foi it was now snowing so hard that the family insisted that she re-main all night. So she sat and looked into the fire and talked to the Mulligans, but all the time she was thinking of I)ick. She had been sure that he would be after her before this. How did he 181 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 182 ---------- know but she had been lost in the snow storm? None of the peo-ple had telephones, so he could not phone. Perhaps, after all, he did not love her so much-he could forget her so easily. But her common sense asserted itself. He was probably looking for her right now. He was anything but forgetful. There was only one way in which he had fallen short of her ideal-he had not a very strong sense of humor. Dick took very seriously things which only caused her to laugh. It seemed to her that people who had not much money should have a strong sense of humor to make up the deficiency. So, dreaming and thinking, the girl went to the "spare bed-room" to retire for the night-but not to sleep. The mattress had been filled with straw, and so well filled that there was a large ridge in the middle. The girl tried in vain to balance herself on the top of the elevation-she kept rolling off the sides and onto the floor. At first she felt chagrined but in the end she was laughing hysterically. Suddenly a jingle of hells rang out on the clear, frosty air. The girl sprang out of bed with a hound and dressed herself. Her womanly intuition told her it was Dick-Dick had come for her. She was running down the stairs when she heard his clear, young voice in the hall. "Is Miss Eliot here?" he asked Ma, who opened the door. The strained anxiety of his voice made the girl's heart leap. "Here I am, Dick." she called, and she was soon tucked snugly into the sleigh and they were flying over the snow. Sud- (lenly D)ick's arm shot out and clutched her convulsively. "Oh, Girl! I thought you were lost." "No," said the girl, "not lost-only found." "What ?" "I have decided," said the girl, mysteriously, "to give up my present work of service-to take up another." "And that is?" questioned Dick. "Him-m-m. guess!" FAY C.

You know that fool cousin of mine whose angel mother calls him Cornelius, and wants him to put weights in his snoes for fear his wings will get so large he'll fly straight to heaven some day (Man, you ought to read the letters that kid sends home-you'd absolutely croak laughing), and whom (English correct?) the rest of his overflowing circle of acquaintances call Cob (derived from some assumed connection with Corn-elius)? Well, he's "it." I have never in all my young life and wide experience seen another nut with quite the propensity for getting into (and usually out of -he's a handsome dog, with the nicest laugh you ever heard) scrapes as that young Corn-cob possesses. But this last one takes the cake. You know, he's going to Yale now, and that's only twelve miles from here, and I met him not long ago when I went to New Haven for some new duds. Of course he buttonholed me (we're 184 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 185 ---------- both such empty-headed nuts that we hit it up pretty well) and we dropped in at Denton's for some eats. As it happens, Cob has a sky-blue-pink "crush" on Polly Crawford (and that .s the most sensible thing he's done for ages. She's the sweetest thing in this whole "Cemetery). And you ought to have heard him- he didn't hardly even wait to ask about the family before he casually (?) remarked, "Don't suppose you've seen Polly lately?" (Just as though he didn't know that she's the one person I spend twenty-two of my twenty-four hours with). So I started in and told him all about how she was wearing her hair now, and about her new suit, and what subjects she was studying, and the exam she was cramming for, and had him about foaming at the mouth before he finally exploded. "Oh, bother take her new suit with the accordian-pleated hem tucked with striped flounces (or something to that effect), I want to know how she IS!" He was getting wild-eyed and I was fearing they'd call out the city sleuths, so I told him how well she liked his picture that he just sent her, and that she was getting thin and wan, and wasn't eating much (Heaven rest my soul, I left her attempting to study an English lesson with a box of chocolates on one side, a half a mince pie on the other, and a jar of pickles in front of her). Then he began raving about how he wished he could see her, and "why the Sam Hill did we have a faculty that excluded gentle-man callers," and all that dope-and then I had an idea (you know what brilliant ideas I can have at times; the only rub is that other people don't see the scintillating, sparkling glory of them). We were going to have a big Washington's Birthday frolic in the gym and I dared him to dress up as a girl and come over to it, and I'd see that he got in and got a wee bit of a chat with Polly. That young cousin o' mine is a very soul- satisfying relation. He looked a bit blank at first, then his eyes began to sparkle and he got up, walked around his chair, sat down again, and said, "Lord, what a joke! Will you do it, Judy?" Then we rolled up our mental sleeves and set to work making plans. After I got home and got to thinking it over-Great Scott! I began to get wobbly in the region of the knees. Suppose he couldn't get suitable clothes-and of course he couldn't, and even though Cob is slim and pretty, no boy can dress to look like a girl, and what if Miss Head found it out and I got expelled and-hor- 185 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 186 ---------- rors! I vis;oned the family holding a prayer meeting for my lost soul. You can imagine how cheerfully I went down to the 7:30 train to meet my cousin, Miss Cornelia Vanderford. When that train pulled in I had to stand on one foot and anchor it down with thc other to keep from running away. And of all the people that got off! It seemed as if I had never seen so many girls get off that train before, and the last person was a nightmare. It wore a violent green dress trimmed in oceans of red braid, and high-heeled white slippers (why on earth when boys masquerade as girls do they attempt high heels), and a big black picture hat and a heavy figured veil. I almost screeched as she started toward me and I saw a mental moving picture of the frolic (?) in the gym. I just stood stock still with my eyes popping out of my head and a frozen "smile of welcome" on my face. As she bore down upon me I managed to get my hand out and was just about to speak when she gave me "a orful stare" (one of those he-eyed-her-up and he eiderdown" sort), and swept on. At the same moment I heard a sound as if some one were strangling on the other side of me, and I whirled around and there stood a young lady correctly gowned in a long gray travel-ing coat and a small hat and veil, and smart-looking low-heeled slippers. I must have had an expression on my face like a chicken dying of the pip, for the young lady spluttered, "Oh, my aunt, Judy, kill that look or I shall bust something, sure. Oh, Lo-ord, she thought that thing was me!" I know just how a person feels when the jury Drings in the verdict, "Not guilty." It seems he had gotten the things from the dramatic club, and he really looked lovely, only he was a bit awkward and his voice was rather husky . We decided that Miss Vanderford would have a bad cold and he worked up an effective cough and we went down behind the station and worked up the scene where he'd have to be presented to Miss Head. Speaking of rehearsals, that was a scream. After that, things began to happen. I was all dressed, so we went right up to the gym and screwed up our courage and sailed in. (I asked Cob how he felt and he said "lovely, only one shoe was too tight and his wig was too loose). I almost exploded when Miss Head recommended vinegar and molasses for Miss Cornelia's "cold," and I thought I'd die when he tripped on his skirt, but I managed to get he and Polly an hour together.. But it was after that the final shebango came off-what you IT77 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 187 ---------- might call the "grand finale." It was getting rather late and I was getting anxious to get my "fair charge" of me 'ands. We , were just about to the door when who should sail up but Madanme le President, and I began to get the "shiverigitis" right there-sumpin h'orful was going to h'occur. We were standing right in front of an open window (it was hot as Milton's Inferno. Was it Milton? Oh, well-) and she was conversing merrily away and we were wildly searching for an avenue of escape when it hap-pened. One of our capricious little breezes, a merry little gust, came puffing in the window, and what did my cousin's loose wig (lo but stand up on its haunches, do a polka step in indecision, anl( then spin slowly and calmly half way around on "our darling's" head. The wig was done in quite a high Psyche knot, and you can imagine how he looked with that Psyche sticking out of the top of his forehead. Pandemonium! Miss Head keeled over in someone's arms (she didn't really faint but she thinks it looks dramatic). Polly screeched, and the two principals in this comedy skit nmade a hur-ried exit. Cob simply streaked for the door, and I dove through the window (it was low, fortunately). I made a pretty good imitation of a flash of lightning getting to my room, and spent the rest of the night hatching up ex-cuses. I got a pathetic little note from Cob with a list of possil)e ex-planations to select from and a postscript saying if none of thelm would work he'd come back and fess up like a man. Child, it would have made a stone image weep to hear the tale of woe I composed for the occasion. At any rate, it worked. then I wrote the details to "me dear cousin, who is almost bald and has to wear a wig, and is very, vERY sensitive about it." (Wow!) It was lovely while it lasted but a trifle too exciting for nly weak nerves, and I have solemnly sworn, never, no, never again! I'm going to be good henceforward and always mind my elders and change my horns for two little downy white wings and a halo, and float up to heaven and play on a harp with by eyes cast up, and never be naughty no more. Your own imlp, JUDY. ((race Sherman.) 3* ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 188 ---------- ADVISORY BOARD V. T. Moodie. Stella Goyne. E. Rowe. KLIPSUN STAFF RUTH E. CONNER - - - Editor-in-Chief RUTH A.

A husky squad responded to the call. For the first time in the history of the school two teams were available. The second squad did much to help the first team round into form. The old letter men were: Kelley, guard; Breakey, end; Shold, guard; Capt. Haracich, tackle, and Wold, fullback. The rest of the squad consisted of Beardsley, of Bothell High School fame, at center; Muller, of Bellingham High, Powell, of Bellingham, both guards; Breneman, from the U. of W. freshman team, at tackle; Ed. Shidler, of Burlington, Lusk, of Laurel, at end positions; Bay, of Lynden, at right half; "Bill" Shidler, of Burlington, left half, and Raridon, of Bellingham High, at quarter. It goes without saying that the team was the best ever pro-duced at the Normal School. Every man on the squad was an ex-perienced player, having had two or three years of football. They were well up in the fundamentals of football, and consequently practically all the time was devoted to acquiring team work. Tak-ing into consideration the condition of Athetic Field, Coach Carver and the squad should be congratulated upon the amount of speed and team work displayed. It might be well to add right here that it is the conditions under which the athletic teams of the school have played that have retarded their development more than anything else. It might be interesting to note that the team was not scored upon by a strictly high school teani during the season. The three defeats suffered by the Normal came as a result of the games with Everett, the strongest high school team in the state, playing with three ineligible men; Mount Vernon Athletic Club, and the Uni-versity sophomores. The remaining games won by the Normal was all of the shutout variety, not a score being made against us. During the course of the season the Normal piled up a total of 108 points to their opponents' 52, quite a commendable record, indeed. Every man on the squad played a good heady game and de-serves credit. The line held like a "stone wall" on most occasions and deserves special mention. People generally are under the im-pression that the backfield men are the only ones who star during 198 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 199 ---------- a game. The linemen are "on the job" all the time, plugging away unnoticed by the onlookers, while the backfield get the credit for their work. The backfield men have chances for teamwork and individual work, certainly, and thereby deserve credit. NORMAL 26- FERNDALE 0. The first game of the season was played with our old rival, the Ferndale High, on the Normal athletic field. During past years the Normal and Ferndale were evenly matched, but the "wormi turned," and they returned home a sadder and wiser team. The Normal line deserves credit for the way it held the rushes of thlie heavy Ferndale backs. The field was too wet for fast ootbaill but despite the fact the Normal was successful in many forwaird passes. EVERETT 26-NORMAL 7 The hardest game of the season was played at Everett against the High School. Everett always produces a good footlball team. The Normal went (town dletermined( to win but were forced to take the small end of the score. Nevertheless the "smokestack" huskies knew they were playing fast football. It is bad form to make excuses after a defeat, but it is true the Normal was sadly "out of luck." Time and again we would rush the ball to the goal line only to lose it through mixed signals or fuimbles. Many of the players expected a "stone wall" defense and were agreeably surprised to find how easy it was to make yardage through the Everett line. Erwin Daily was the backbone of the Everett team, being instrumental in scoring three of the touchdowns. Capt. Haracich made the only touchdown for the Norimial, running ninety yards with the Everett "pack" at his heels. "'Ed" can surely run when someone is after him. Many successful passes were made, hoth by the Nermal and Everett. Even the old shoestring pass worked on several o0- casions. U. OF WV. SOPHS 13,--N()RMAL 0. Again the Normal suffered defeat, but at the hands of a team out of her class. The "Sophs" had a strong team, heavier and more experienced than ours. The Normal line was taken to the utmost to hold themn from making more yardage than they did1 It was a good game, the Normal fighting like mad to stave off defeat and the "Sophs" determined to win. They won, but it 199 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 200 ---------- was a hard earned victory. The backfield of the "Sophs" were heavy, fast and hard hitting, a combination hard to beat. Our backs did good work, even if they did not annex a touchdown. Critics say it was the best game played in Bellingham for an age. ANACORTES ALL-STARS 0-NORMAL 14 The next game was played on our home grounds, which was a morass of mud and water, as usual. The Anacortes High could not get a team together strong enough to give us a worthy battle, so an aggregation from the city as well as the High was "rounded up" and came over. They met their Waterloo-strong on the water, as there was sufficient in evidence, and returned home sadder but wiser. The game was slow on account of the con-dition of the field. Several passes were attempted and some were successful, although the ball was slippery. The Normal line held as usual, and the heavy backs of Anacortes failed to gain. The Normal backfield could not show its speed this game on account of the boys getting stuck in the mud. FERNDALE 0-NORMAL 26 Again we defeated Ferndale, but not the same team. The High School asked to be allowed to use some outside men, and a husky "young" bunch of football heroes lined up against us. Dahlquist, Plaser, Hintly and Mohrman were some of the men who played. At last the Normal was on a dry field, and we took advantage of the fact. The line worked strenuously to hold the heavy backfield of Ferndale and our backfield were fast and sure, tearing off yardage both through the line and off end. The open field running by the Normal backs was a feature of the game. MOUNT VERNON 13-NORMAL 0 One of the hardest games of the year was played at Mount Vernon against the Athletic Club of that city. Coach Jenny, of the High School, had a strong team in the field made up mostly of Coach Jenny. He was responsible for the two touchdowns regis-tered against us and did much on defensive work to prevent our scoring. The game was snappy and fast. The field was dry and the day was ideal for football. Our team made yardage almost at will and played a good game, but touchdowns were hard to get. We had the ball on the goal line on several occasions only to lose it on downs. 200 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 201 ---------- B. H. S. 0-NORMAL 6 The most important game of the season was played against our old rival, the North Side High. Keen rivalry exists between the two schools in the athletic lines and the excitement was at its height on the day of the great battle. Both sides were confident of victory, as usual, and both sides possessed the "do or die" spirit. The field was rather muddy for football, making it hard to handle the ball. The High played the better ball the first quar-ter because the Normal was slow in getting started. When we were in a tight place, though, the line held like a stone wall. The second half the Normal woke up and things began to happen. Three touchdowns were made during the last quarter, but two were not allowed on account of holding on the part of Normal men. The High was outclassed in team work and speed. The Normal team was the heavier of the two by a small margin. The Hfigh says we are lucky to win. We come right back and say the High was lucky the score was only 6 BREMERTON 0-NORMAL 22 Athletic relations between Bremerton and the Normal were cemented when we played the high school of that place at Bremer-ton. The Bremerton boys played good football, depending mostly upon shift plays. But shift plays were "pie" for the Normal and were easily broken up. In this game the Normal backfield had its best opportunity to show its speed. It took advantage of the opportunity and some fast work was witnessed by the fans of the Navy City. Our long end runs were especially good, yardage being made at will. Bay kicked a drop kick from the thirty-yard line, the only successful kick of the season. After the game the Bremerton High School girls gave a banquet to both teamns. To say it was appreciated is drawing it mild. We fairly "stuffed" ourselves. 'Tis sad to relate, though, we are short on the speech-making. Every speech was started with the words, "I haven't much to say," and ended with, "We played the best we knew how." The trip was made by water, to the disadvantage of some of the team. Shidler and Breneiman can ride bucking bronchos better than "foam crested waves." It is hoped that athletic re-lations may be continued with the Down Sound city. 201 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 202 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Normal Basketball Team Davenport P. Rockey, Captain Carver, Coach Breneman, Bay, Kelley Wold 202 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 203 ---------- BASKETBALL Hardly had the muddy gridiron hero taken his departure before old King Basketball was ushered in. Basketball always has been the major sport at the Normal, and this year was no exception. More than two teams were out and very promising material was available. Coach Carver soon had the first squad picked, consisting of Bay, of Lynden; Rockey, of Bellingham; Breneman, of Castle Rock; Kelley, of Clearbrook; D)avenport; Wold, of Bellingham. Len. Anstett returned from the Unibersity in time to win his letter at guard. Rockey was chosen captain by his teammates before the first game, and to show his appre-ciation he played a steady game throughout the season. Coach Carver believes he had a better team than last year, owing to the fact that although they lost one game more, they played harder teams and had to play harder to win. The year previous fourteen games were played, ten being won and four lost. This year fifteen games were played, ten being won and five lost, besides every team played this year was vastly superior to those playea against last year.

Carver issued his annual call for baseball material and a goodly number of eml)ryo Ty Cobbs and Walter Johnsons responded to the call. But two letter men put in an appearance, Griffin, last year's shortstop, and Raridon, center fielder. Coach Carver tackled the p)roblem of con-structing practically a new teamn. The men who were left after the "weeding out process" were Parkins, catcher, a Blaine man; Smith, pitcher, a Vancouver product; Mount, pitcher, of Anacor-tes; Fox, first base, Ferndale; Russell, second base, of Ferndale; Griffin, shortstop, of Bellingham; Montgomery, shortstop, of Bell-mngham; "Bud" Raridon, third base, of Bellingham; Beardsley, left field, of Bothell; E. Raridon, center, of Bellingham; Roop, fielder; Bay, fielder, of Lynden, and Uddenherg, fielder. Owing to the fact that no grounds are available on the campus the squad practiced on the Sehome grounds, working under a handicap because of the roughness of the field and the condition of the weather, it raining practically all the time, thus retarding the practice. U. OF \V. 13- NORMAL 0 Wiith but one week's practice the Normal crossed bats with the fast U. of W. team on our home grounds. The "U" was on its C way to Vancouver to play the Beavers, of the Northwestern League, and had just come from a victory over the champion Se-attle team of the same league. WVe expected defeat and we were not disappointed. What little credit we deserve goes to Smith, our pitcher, for the way he pitched ball. He had the purple and gold squad eating out of his hand, but his teammates fell down on their end of the job. Errors contributed partly to our defeat and the fact that we were weak at the bat. FERNI)ALE 3-NORMAL 6 Our next game was with our old rival, Ferndale, played at Ferndale. The Normal in years past has suffered at the hands of Ferndale in baseball but this year we got our revenge. The team played better ball than formerly, but few errors being made. Smith pitched good hall, allowing but four hits and whiffing several of the Ferndale sluggers. 205 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 206 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Track Team Standing (from left to right) - Crum, Estes, Smith, Muller, Beardsley, E.

The first turnout was held Monday, April 24, with con-siderable rivalry for places in the events. "Bill" Shidler was elected captain of the squad. We p)redict that "Bill" will let no grass grow under his feet this spring and that he will show many an aspiring young athlete his "twinkling heels." The tryout re- sulted in the following men being chosen: For sprints, "Bill" Shidler, "Red" Montgomery, E. Rairdon;; for broad jump, Estes, Muller and "Bill" Shidler; for running, Broad, Estes, E. Rairdo C and "Bill" Shidler; pole vault, E. Bixhy, Parkins, B. Rairdon, V. Bixhy; for distance, Muller, Boggan; for shot put, Muller, Shidler, Bay; for discus, Bay, Smith, Beardsley; for hurdles, Breakey, E. Shidler; 220 and 440-yard dash, Breakey, Shidler, B.

Basketball, baseball, hockey and tennis have been a source of pleasure to a great many girls of the school. The success, how-ever, is most of all due to Miss Nickerson, the coach. She has worked untiringly throughout the year and has had her hands full managing and coaching the teams. Never before have so many different branches of athletics been open to the girls, and the introduction of these is the result of Miss Nickersons' work. BASKETBALL Basketball was the biggest thing of the year. Early in Sep-tember Miss Nickerson called a meeting of all girls interested in basketball. At this meeting it was decided to play modified boys rules. Also the schedule should be so arranged that each team played three games with each of the other teams, the teamn win-ning the best two out of three to win the series. The object of this was that it would give more girls a chance to play and earn letters. From early in October until March the gym on every night of the week was the scene of much practice and many deadly con-tests. After much waiting and suspense the first game of the series between the Seniors and Juniors was called. The game was fast, but the Seniors as yet had not developed their characteristic skill and teamwork, which was later so marked. The Juniors came victorious with a score of 8-5. The Juniors' line- up: Forwards-Bernadine Hilliard, Jenny Kelly, Genie Watrous, center, Cosby Jackson; Guards, Ada Howard and Elizabeth Jones. Seniors-Forwards, Anne Larson, Kathleen Skalley; center, Barbara Conroy; guards, Helen Gragg and Emma Johnson. The Juniors again marched forth, bringing home another victory over the Sophomores, the score coming out 20-6. The Sophomores had a strong team, considering the size of the class, and they put up a good game. Sophomore line-up: Forwards, Elizabeth Arnold, Cassie Cales and Sophia Westman; centers, Olive Pearson, Mary Kean; guards, Marion Lee, Edna McKinnon and Anne Bennett. 211 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 212 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Junior Girls' Basketball Team Hefty, Jackson, Hovander, Watrous, Kelley, Jones, Hilliard. 212 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 213 ---------- In the third game of the series the Sophomores clashed with the Seniors. The Seniors carried off the victory by 21-11. The Seniors brought in their second team: Center, "Dot" Gooch; guards, Hilda Backman and Gertrude McMahan; forwards, Helena Stenvig, supported by the first team forwards, Anne Larson and Kathleen Skalley. The Juniors won the second game from the Sophomores, the final score standing 24-8. With much spirit and enthusiasm everyone looked forward to the second Junior-Senior game. From the first to the last it was the closest and most skillful game that had so far been p)layed in the series. At the end of the game the score cane out 20-19 in favor of the Senior girls. In the last Junior- Sophomore game the Juniors won by 12-5, and the Seniors also p)layed two victorious games with the Sopho-mores, winning the first by a score of 27-10 and the latter 18-11. Passing through the halls and around the gym just before a game, you would find small groups seriously discussing some weighty subject. Coming closer you might chance to hear some stray reiimark such as, "Now, who do you think will win?" fol-lowed by the usual individual opinions. Well, they might have been discussing the crucial game, for the final Junior-Senior game was in every one's mind. March 14th arrived and long before 4:10 the gym was packed, the Juniors occupying one side and the Seniors the other. As the black and gold five and the green and yellow quintet came out on the floor a deafening cheer went up and "Rah! Rah! Rah! Juniors!" against "Hip! Hip! Hooray! Seniors!!" could hardly be distinguished. The whistle was blown by the referee, Miss Nickerson, and the game was on, fast and hard, each team de-termined to win. There was evidence of skillful playing on both sides. The first half ended with 14-10 in favor of the Seniors. As the girls came back for the second half the loyal supporters of both teams were tense with suspense. One more half to play. Would the hard-fought-for Kline Cup be engraved with Senior or Junior numerals for 1916? Fifteen minutes of quick, decisive work with good plays on both sides--and the enthusiastic shouts of the Seniors told that for the first time in tweve years the Kline Cup was won by the Senior girls with a final score of 27-13. That girls can be true athletes has been shown throughout 213 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 214 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Sophomore Girls' Basketball Team McKinnon, Bennett, Pearson, Westman, Arnold, Cales, (Capt.) Nickerson (Coach). ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 215 ---------- the season by the splendid interclass spirit. Victory or defeat was accepted in a true sportsmanlike attitude. Not only in basketball but in other forms of athletics they have played for the love of the game and have been good winners and good losers. Thursday, April 12, all the students gathered in the assembly hall for an "athletic assembly." On this occasion the "B's" were awarded to the athletes and the Kline Cup presented to the Sen-iors. Miss Nickerson, head of the Physical Training department and the girls' basketball coach, gave a very interesting talk on girls' athletics. The points brought to our attention were that on the whole girls are not as sportsmanlike as boys, but given the same conditions, it has been shown that girls can be as much, if not more sportsmanlike than boys. The following girls received letters: Seniors-Kathleen Skalley, Anne Larson, Barbara Conroy, Helen Gragg, Emma Johnson, Helena Stenvig, "Dot" Gooch, Gert-rude MeMahan and Hilda Backman. Juniors-Genie Watrous, Cosby Jackson, Elizabeth Jones, Jenny Kelly, Ada Hovander, Bernadine Hilliard, Clara Helty. Sophomores- Elizabeth Arnold, Cassie Cales, Marion Lee, Sophia Westman, Olive Pearson, Anne Bennett, Edna McKinnon. GIRLS' BASKETBALL FROLIC Did you say frolic? Yes, that's what it was. All the basket. ball girls and Coach Miss Nickerson went down to the "big gym" Friday evening, April 14, 1916, for a good time and iar from the maddening crowd, where they could act natural. The festivities began at 8:15 with an indoor baseball game. To have seen Bernadine Hilliard and Kathleen Skalley slamming out home runs was a treat. Then came a basketball game, which was an excited rush and scramble. A tennis ball decorated with the various classes' colors was used as a basketball. The referee, "Jack" Gragg, called strict fouls and anyone making a foul was put out of the game. The game was on fast and hard when the referee's whistle blew shrilly several times and Miss Nickerson was put off the floor for overguarding Anne Larson. She was followed by Kathleen Skalley, who attempted to track the ball on her knees, and Emma Jackson, 215 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 216 ---------- who was beginning to show too much baseball skill. Other changes followed in rapid succession. "All ready for the track meet," was next called, and the girls all assembled at one end of the gym. The "Numbskulls" and the "Knownothings" were the competitors. The events in order and their respective winners were: Stride relay, Knownothings. Shot put, Jennie Kelly, Knownothings. Standing broad grin, Zetta Gage, Knownothings. Leap frog relay, Knownothings. There's Music in the Air, Grace Brower, Numbskulls. Sack race, Lucile Pearson, Knownothings. Hand spring relay, Genie Watrous, Numbskulls. The meet was won by the "Numbskulls," captained by Jennie Kelly, by a score of 31, but Anne Larson's team were just behind with a score of 30. Then came some stunts, few in number but good and snappy. Soon came a most urgent (?) call from the cafeteria and we all made a rush for the ice cream and cake, which tasted good after such strenuous exercise. After a parting good night, we all started home each declar-ing that this was a perfect windup for the basketball season. E. E. J., '16.

Of course Bellingham is a large city, but who has been in what we call a small country village?" Numerous hands were raised. "Well, Dick," said teacher, "what little town have you been in?" "Seattle!" answered the eager Dick. "Have you read Carlyle's French Revolution?" asked Miss Bowen, and she was somewhat surprised to receive a negative reply. Her astonishment increased as she ran over a list of stand-ard works and successively received the same kind of an answer. Finally she asked, "Well, what have you read?" "I have red hair," Ira Miller responded eagerly. The High School class in geometry was reciting. "Have you proved this proposition?" asked Mr. Hunt. "Well," said Yorkston, "proved is rather a strong word, but I can say that I have rendered it highly probable." Jimmy saw a mosquito on the wall one day that had evidently had a full meal off of someone, as it was quite red with blood, and he called out, "Oh, mother, look! Here's a mosquito and he's ripe!" A fashionably dressed young woman entered the postoffice in large Western city, hesitated a moment, and stepped up to the stamp window. The stamp clerk looked up expectantly, and she asked, "Do you sell stamps here?" The clerk politely answered, "Yes." "I would like to see some, please," was the unusual request. The clerk dazedly handed out a large sheet of the two-cent variety, which the young woman carefully examined. Pointing to one near the center she said, "I will take this one, please." Dr. Deerwester-What is a philosopher? Forest Breakey-One who rides a philosopede. 221 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [222] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 ROLLICKING GIRLS [222] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 223 ---------- Dr. Nash had just announced in assembly that the Junior class was the largest enrolled in the history of the institution. Immediately he followed the announcement by reading the sub-ject of the speaker of the morning, "Lord, how are they increased that trouble me." A teacher was reading to her class and came across the word "unaware." She asked if any one knew its meaning. One small girl timidly raised her hand and gave the following definition: "Unaware is what you take off the last thing before you put your nightie on." ~s :. 7 ?

How dear to our hearts is Miss Brown, She really has great renown. She plays very gayly On a real ukelele, But you had better not make her frown. Dr. Deerwester had a great deal of modesty When he talked on fundamental honesty. We don't have enough Of that sort of stuff, That's why it all was so oddesty. Oh, say, did you see Miss Thatcher? For a good sport you never can match her. She slid down the slide And enjoyed all her ride. It's a shame if you were not there to watch her. Miss Mead she lost her new bonnet With the little red feelers upon it. S. L. and M. J. Picked it up, so they say, And left her as mad as a hornet. There is a young lady named Bowen, By her English bards are all knowen. She has a sweet smile That lasts quite a while. Her assignments keep us agoin'. Was there ever a man like Parish? The stunts that he does are darish. He's one of the four, And we always want more When he sings those songs so rarish. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 225 ---------- Miss Wilson hangs out in the library. You don't dare to be contrary. But look at her eyes And you'll have a surprise. There's a twinkle in there, by Harry! I tell you Miss Jensen talks fast, And the things she tells you are vast.

His voice is so sweet; He has dear little feet. H e certainly is a fine chappy.. As a teacher Miss Sumner is clever. Wle never had one like her, no, never. She makes you say "pool" In a manner so cool You'd think we had done it forever. There is no one quite like Mr. Bond, Of him we surely are fond. He's not like some teachers, As solemn as preachers. V.! He will even let us "wade in the pond." Miss Hays is our own dearest dean. For good times she always is keen. We must religiously obey Each night and each day The "approved customs," or know what they mean. Mr. Bever has never lacked fun. Many are the honors he's won. How do we know? Because he said so. He'll tell you of stunts he has done. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [226] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 LIFE [226] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 227 ---------- The H. L.

From the way Mr. Bond yawns in assembly we feel that we owe him a vote of thanks for not swallowing us. (With Apologies.) WVhen the frost is on the windows, and the hours on the clock, And you heard the others hurry as they chase off down the block, And the cries of "Where's my gym shoes?" and "I've lost my foun-tain pen," And your roommate's haller-looyer as she calls, "Well, come on, then." Oh, it's then the time a feller is a feelin' at his best, With the breakfast bell to wake her from a night of worried rest, As she leaves the house bareheaded and goes chasin' down the block When it's her for that old gym class and the hour's eight o'clock. IGNORANCE Nat Mount (who has gone into a restaurant without his glasses)-Waiter, will you kindly read the menu for me? Waiter (with a suppressed giggle)-Sorry, sir, but I can't read, either.

"Yes, but she isn't very entertaining." _7~ ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 229 ---------- WHAT WOULD HAPPEN-- IF Miss Baxter forgot her points? IF Mr. Moodie stopped smiling? IF the Juniors all paid their dues? IF Miss Hays lost her dignity? IF there were enough boys to go around? IF Mr. Thompson forgot how to count? IF Mary Jane acted grown up? IF Mr. Bever had nothing to say? IF we all skipped school? IF Miss Sperry lost her printed Eng. outline? IF Miss Sumner gave us a reading? IF Miss Mead found out who made the "Summer School Nurse?" TO Mary Jane and Mayme Martin if Miss Mead was not good natured? IF we should dance in the Normal gym? IF we had a real Senior Ball? HEARD IN SENIOR CLASS MEETING Senior (hearing Mr. Rowe whistling and singing)-Oh, isn't he the happiest for a married man you ever saw? Dab Hennes (after being nominated for president of Senior class) I move the nominations be closed. HEARD IN THE LUNCH LINE "I don't believe Miss Sperry is ever hungry, she keeps us so long after the bell rings. I couldn't get a thing but soup." "Which is salt?" "The soup may have been made on the seashore, but that's as near as it ever came to a clam." "Ain't there no ice cream left? Oh, Gee!" "There, I put salt in my coffee." "Your ticket is out, Miss Rhodes." "Please do not crowd; there's lots of soup." "Looks like rain." Student, glancing at soup, "Tastes like it, too." "What is this, anyway?" "Gee, I've got an oyster!" "Miss McCown spent 34c today." 229 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [230] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 MOUNT BAKER AND THE SOUND [230] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 231 ---------- BY WAY OF SUGGESTION To Senior classes who wish to leave some gift for the school we offer the following suggestions as things that will be appre-ciated by all students: A clock for the reading room that is guaranteed to run. A new gymnasium. A new library. An adding machine for the Seniors who are trying to add up their credits. A bank to keep the Junior dues in. A set of circular pews for Miss Baxter's room. A new course of study for Miss Sperry to teach. A new stage for the auditorium. A TRAGEDY "Down on your knees, You villain! you freak!"'' She yelled in a lone That was near to a shriek. Her face it was fiery, Her eyes, they were red. She turned to him wildly, And madly she said, "John Jones, you're a villain, As I've oft said before. Get down, I say, down On your knees on the floor! In the duslt at ny feet. Gel up here, John Jones, And call me 'yonr sweet!' " S. E. \W. Dr. Deerwester was quizzing the Phil. of Ed. class. Singling out Martin Baker in the rear of the room, he addressed the ques-tion to him. Baker rose, in much confusion, and bent his ear to catch the stage whispers of his friends seated about him. "Well, you ought to be able to answer," said the doctor, "with all the aid you are receiving back there." "I could," came the reply, "but there's a difference of opinion back here. 231 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [232] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 JUNIORS AND OTHERS [232] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 233 ---------- HEARD IN ZOOLOGY "What kind of a bug is that?" "A Nat." "What are you going to do with him?" "Mount it." "Mamma," asked little Mabel, "what does transatlantic mean?" "It means 'across the Atlantic,'" replied her mother. " 'Trans' always means across." "Then I suppose," continued the logical little miss, "that transparent means a cross parent, doesn't it, mamma?" In botany class where each student had signed her initials to work on the board: Sally Lopp-Why, that girl's initials spell "Rag." Helen Peterson-Aw, that's nothin', look at mine," and she pointed to the word "Help!" Frank Deerwester (at Senior party)-So you spell your name b-e-a-u-t-y, Miss Vollmer? Miss Vollmer-No, rather j-o-k-e." Red Miller-Do you think we had better stand so close to-gether in this picture? Red Beardslee-No, we might blur it. GOOD WARNING Algy-I don't want you to wash my face. Grandma-Why, I've washed my face three times a (lay ever since I was a little girl. Algy-Yes, and just see how it's shrunk! Mr. Hoppe was about to deliver a reading in assembly one morning and he asked Dr. Deerwester if he might have a small pitcher of ice water on the platform table. "To drink?" asked Dr. Deerwester. "No," answered Mr. Hoppe. "I do a high diving act." 233 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [234] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 WINTER AND SPRING ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 235 ---------- WELL POSTED "Father," said a boy of twelve, "who was Shylock?" "What!" exclaimed his father. "Have I sent you to Sunday school for the past six or seven years only to have you ask me who Shylock was. Shame on you! Get your Bible and find out this minute." The hen stood on the river's bank And gave her college cry, Until a frog, in pained surprise, Politely asked her why. She said, "Kind sir, you see that duck Out there upon the water. Well, that's a winning college crew, And Il her Alma Mater." (DIPPY.) "Tom," said the teacher, "stay in after school and write a composition of fifty words." Tom handed in the following and was soon cn his way to the ball field: "Jessie was fond of kittens. She saw one on the road and called, here pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy." Mrs. Thatcher (looking over Miss Willoughby's flower-be-decked office)-It looks like a greenhouse in here. Miss Willoughby-Yes, in more ways than one. Miss Baxter (outlining consciousness)-We have heads and subheads until our heads are swimming in subheads. Florence Lynch--I saw such a devoted couple this afternoon. He was just carrying her up the street. Merry Christmas-Oh, wasn't that touching? Florence-It certainly was. 235 235 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 236 ---------- DEFINITIONS WE ALL SHOULD LIVE UP TO Approved Customs: ,Those hard and fast rules that we religiously don't live up to.

Yoa are this day to go with me on a big journey, covering much terri-tory and seeing wondrous sights. Did you know that you are fol-lowing in the footsteps of a thousand worthy predecessors, gradu-ates of this beautiful Normal of ours; that scattered all over this globe are one thousand worthy citizens testifying what in a few years you are to be, and what very soon we, as Seniors, are to be? As on this journey we ferret out the dignified Seniors of years gone by and behold them in their present activities, realize that one of these is you in the years to come. With great awe and wonder we begin our journey. Oh, ye students of Observation I, have you realized in your travels about our country that some of the most progressive teach-ers there seen are products of this institution? Listen and be convinced. In the city of Bellingham alone there are about sixty alumni actually engaged in teaching, besides about forty who are married or engaged in business here. To enumerate them would be an endless task, but we can name a few of those doing most con-spicuous work. Here in our own building we have Sam E. Car-ver, our able coach, who is a graduate of 1913, and Gladys Stephen, '14, as assistant librarian. We have Mae Reichert, '14, at the Model School at Geneva; Ethel Everett, '04, the county superintendent; her assistant, Bernard Davenport, '11; Richard Ewing, '04, principal of the Roeder school; Mrs. Robin, '13, prin-cipal of the Bennett school; Betsy Stenberg, '10, of the Commercial department, and Lillian Miller, '01, of the English department in the High School; Harriet Dellinger Brown, the city drawing super-visor; Lola Gifford and Edna Waples in Domestic Science; Kirk Baxter, Beryl Batdorf and Frances Des Aulniers in departmental work. Is it not amazing? As we take a hurried trip about the county we find the same condition of affairs. At least half a hundred of our Alumni at-tend institute in this county. Again we can not visit all, but we can make a hurried survey. At Lawrence we find an encourag-ing state of affairs in that this is the only school in the county ______ ~ V ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 239 ---------- having a staff of four who are all graduates of this Normal. We find there Frances Greene, Messenger editor, '15; Arne Jensen, '12, as principal; Sarah Moen, '13, and Lauretta Helmberg, '14. We discover that B. F. Hovies, principal of the Blaine High School, is of the class of '03, and in his teaching staff we find three more. Susannah Depew, '13, Emma Buvinghausen, '15, and Vida Reed, 15. We have Edward Olson Kongsle teaching manual training at Nooksack; Clarence Dahlquist, '14, of great Normal fame, at Pleasant Valley; C. J. Storlie, '09, and Oleah Blank, '14, at Har-mony. Many of the teachers at Sumas, Lynden, Ferndale, Marietta and other towns about here can call this their Alma Mater. San Juan county, too, boasts the possession of many of our alumni. Their number is legion, and scattered everywhere are many who, though not graduates, have done their normal work here. These only in Whatcom county. And elsewhere we find them, though not so plentiful, still in sufficient numblers to wield a big influence. In proof of this let us take a flying trip about the state, alighting here or there, hit or miss, and see what we shall see. As we proceed southward we discover at Mount Vernon Elizabeth Mann, near there Boyd Ellis, and farther up the line at Lyman, Lolah McMeen and May Oscar. We have at Sedro- Woolley Elizabeth Eggers; at Big Lake, Wilhelmine Lewis; at Anacortes, Kathleen Mount; at Clinton, Viola Hopkins; at East Stanwood, Anna Breum, and at Marysville Isabelle Williams doing the work of two, in addition to teaching seventh grade also being gymnasium teacher for the school. At Everett we find scattered through the various buildings Grace Proctor, Mabel Foran, Alice Miller, Mabel French and Eva Jurgensohn. Near there at Lowell Mary Pilz teaches the third grade; at Mukilteo Gertrude Davidson has charge of the Domestic Science work; and back in the beautiful mountain scenery of Granite Falls Nondus Gaines still finds time for her basketball practice. Taking a great leap, we next visit Seattle, discovering here engaged in city grade work Bessie Lovell, Martha Everett, Carrie Dougherty, Ida and Florence Charroin and many other former lights of the normal activities. Harry Heath, Charlotte Davis, Lillie Morrison, Helen Kelly and Frank Peterson are upholding the normal standards at the state uni- 239 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 240 ---------- versity. In the region about Seattle we find many, as, for ex-ample, Hilda Musgrove at Richmond Beach. or Maimee Davis at Bremerton. At Port Orchard we may visit with Charles Becker and his wife, who was Ethel Anderson. Or we may visit, at Fos-ter, M. F. Odle, Commencement speaker and Senior Class presi-dent, '15, still showing his leadership in coaching plays, organiz-ing clubs and in all other lines of activities. We discover that his wife is Inez Gibson, '13, and this leads to an interesting digres-sion. Mrs. Odle is one of six brothers and sisters to attend this school. One attended as a Junior, three graduated, one is gradu-ating this year and the other will next year. Is this not a proud record for any family? We are told that the oldest, Clayton Gib-son, '11, is at present principal of the Ravenna school at Seattle, and that Ernest Gibson is teaching near Olympia. But we must proceed. If we are to complete our lengthy trip we must take longer flights and barely glance down at the world below. But even a glance is sufficient to reveal to us a picture of Lew Greene hob-nobbing with the fathers of our state at the capital. He is still a pedagogue but with such favorable surroundings it is difficult to guess what in the future he is to be. We discover in Olympia also Edda Quinby and near there Claude Manly. As we pass we catch glimpses of Aida Uddenberg at Tacoma; Eva White and Anna Brown at Buckley; Jessie Lieser and Anne Brown, '15, at Woodland; Vasilla Gebaroff at Pe Ell, and Elida Nordeen, president of the Y. XV. C. A. and associate editor of the Klipsun, '15, at South Bend. Flashes of normal pins everywhere about attract us, but we turn our backs on temptation and hie us over the mountains. Perhaps at Wenatchee we chance upon an institute or a thim-ble party at the home of Ethel Scheidemantle, Y. W. C. A. presi-dent, '13. If so we find normal pins much in evidence and normal gossip the theme of conversation. We find there many familiar faces, Genevieve Greynolds, Grace Cooke, Vida Van Cleve and Eliza Thompson, very late of Bellingham. They tell us that Muriel Murdock is at Chelan Falls, Pauline Paulsen at Thelma, on Lake Wenatchee, Mabel Jackson and Fred Dees at Entait, and Florence Canton and Laura Derringer are at Chelan. We would S very much like to stop with Bertha Skartvedt, '15, at Pullman, or to be served with pretzels at the home of Rudolph Knaaik, '14, and 240 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 241 ---------- his wife, who was Ruth Derifield, at Spokane, but we must hie us on. At Walla Walla are many attractions. We could visit at school with Mary Keays, '14, or have a chat with Lillian Berney, '14, near Walla Walla; we could gossip with Frances Hukill, '14, in the city, but Oregon calls us on. At Jewell, Oregon, we visit with Georgia Barry, '13, and find her good nature in no whit impaired by three years of teaching. She tells us that many of our people are in Astoria, Nell Wilson, '13, Kathleen Barry, Anna Montgomery and Esther Wyland, who in addition to her grade work supervises the music in her build-ing. Surely Astoria feels the effect of this strong contact with Bellingham. Now we come to the more interesting part of our trip, one that unfortunately we can not take, for it leads us over land and seas so far that we shrink with fear. For we would have to visit with Carrie George in Juneau, Alaska; with Charles D. Jones at his Indian school at Metlakahtla, also in Alaska; with Herman Merritt in the Philippines, and others of our people in Hawaii. And also in the states do our people lead us far. We have Marian Valentine, who has been a superintendent of schools in Montana; Alfred Roos, at the Medical School at Loma Linda in California; Grace Barnes, '13, graduating this year from the Columbia School of Oratory in Chicago and preparing to do Chautauqua lecture work during the coming summer. Elsie Ziese, '15, is at Columbia University in New York. And did you know that Maude Drake, Olive Edens and Minerva Lawrence, of this faculty, at present are at Columbia, all were graduates of this normal school? Behold, even to these great heights may we rise! But this review would not be complete without a mention of the many who during the past few years have succumbed to the wiles of Cupid. And they are legion. We can mention only a few. Novello Ziese is now Mrs. Kilbeck, of Ottawa, Kansas; Elva Boucher is Mrs. Floyd Sirgensen, of Harrington, Washington; Elizabeth Gaasland is Mrs. Le Gros, of Everett; Nellie Forbes is Mrs. C. Nelson, of East Stanwood; Nell Salvon is Mrs. W. Bristo, of Eugene, Oregon; Esther Franzen is Mrs. McCutcheon, of Adna, and so on indefinitely. And even now about our country the wed-ding bells are ringing, signifying the loss of yet more worthy vo-taries of the teaching profession. Underclassmen, ye have heard and ye have seen.

At last the date was really set, On April twenty-two they met, At half past five, though cold and bleak, The Senior girls would take their "sneak." 'Twas then they met at Elk and Holly, Eighty strong, all gay and jolly. Eleven of the faculty Were there for chaperons, you see. No man in sight who wore a star, They took possession of a car, On many sports their minds were bent, And straightway for White City went. While on their journey out that way They found there were two teams to play. For basketball all were prepared, They shed their skirts and no one cared,, For all had worn their bloomer suits And either tennis shoes or boots. Now they had planned Toad Lake should be That chilly morn their destiny. Two miles to walk through wet and bog, They made it at a right good jog. They had been told a field they'd find; 'Twas full of holes of every kind. Some people it would sure disgust; Believe me, they were not nonplussed. They chose their captains then and there And for a game they did prepare. Baseball, it was the first event, And at it with a will they went. For captains, Willoughby and Mead Were master hands, all did concede. 'Tis said they fractured every rule Of Annapolis and West Point school. Annapolis the game did win, Amid much laughter, shout and din. By this time they were hungry girls, While o'er the fire the smoKe wreath curls. Miss Ormsby boiled the eggs, you see (This is the fact as told to me) Right with the coffee o'er the fire. (Perhaps you think that I'm a liar) It was a shocking situation, She is so strict on sanitation. Each girl a drinking cup had carried, And for the coffee now they tarried. Then came the race for buns and bacon. H. Beardsley wished some lunch she'd taken. Then while resting, breakfast over, They really felt themselves in clover. Next came the program of the day, For they had many games to play. At lifting weights they had a test, And Nickerson won out the best. And then the races were begun; We were assured 'twas jolly fun. And as a signal when to run The bravest fired off the gun. And Captain Mead, though very tired, Made one grand jump when It was fired. The races were of every kind; Leap frog is one I call to mind. At basketball they had a bout; "West Point has won!" Miss Mead did shout. Kannekkeberg won the one mile feat; E. Sherman at the half mile beat; The quarter mile, H. Beardsley first; 'Twas said with pride she nearly burst, Followed close by McCown and Gray, Both tired out, I heard them say. At climbing cliffs Miss Myers tried. She won renown at Toad Lake's side. Miss Bestor had the record fall, About three hundred feet in all. Just scratched her watch, the story ran. You may believe it if you can. And now among this jolly crowd A good photographer was allowed. McCarthy many pictures took; Perhaps you'll find them in this book. They kept strict count of all the games, The winners and their captain's names, And when at last the sports were done The West Point team the cup had won. But Willoughby got even for that; She put skunk cabbage on Mead's hat. The jolly party, though stiff and lame, But quite conceited, homeward came. And now who told me I'm not sayin', But for the facts see Miss McMahan. -A. L. ROWE.

Boise - - - - Idaho 273 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 274 ---------- The Palmer Method School of Penmanship Sends Cordial Greetings to the Washington State Normal School You can read! Tou can spell! Can you WVRITE-a rapid, easy, clear-as-print, practical hand? If you cannot DO THAT, if you do not KNOW HOW, yourself, you can never TEACH writing when the occasion arises. Perhaps we can be of real service to YOU. The A. N. Palmer Co. is the best equipped organization in the world for teaching the teacher. \Ve train more than thirty thousand teachers a year, and we are therefore doing more than all other agencies combined to reconstruct and make reasonably good the writing of pupils in elementary schools. To any Normal College student, who is going out to teach, a skillful training in the mechanics and pedagogy of muscular-movement writing may prove to be a valuable business asset. The Palmer Method Normal Course by Correspondence is the medium by which the Palmer Method Plan is made just as available for rural schools as for city schools, and equally accessible to students who enroll in any quarter of the world. The instruction is so precise and thorough and so specifically directed to the par-ticular needs of each student, that failure is imposible if the directions are followed with strict fidelity. The regular fee for the Complete Normal Course by Correspond-ence is $10. One year is allowed in which to complete the course. o The Course is offered free of charge to all teachers who adopt the Palmer Method and provide their pupils with individual copies of the PALMER METHOD OF BUSINESS WRITING for the third grade and above, or of WRITING LESSONS FOR PRIMARY GRADES. These Palmer Method Manuals are complete treatises of practical writing. The lessons are sequential, providing for review and conducing to : rapid progress. A Resident Palmer Method School, op en the year round, is maintained at 30 Irving Place, New York City. This school affords special facilities for the training of teachers who aspire to become Writing Supervisors. It also helps to place its graduates in good positions. WTRITE US FOR PARTICULARS.
