Baker towering in the background. The school is in its twenty-first year of splendid achievement, and has graduated two thousand six hundred people. These twenty-six hundred graduates represent forty-nine different occupations. This manifests the various vocations for which one may prepare at the Normal. The greatest number, or one thousand four hundred sixty-two, are engaged in some form of pedagogical work, four hundred forty-eight are housewives, seventy-six are doing advanced study at colleges and universities, and fifty-nine are clerical workers. The number engaged in each of the other occupations range from one to seven. The standards of teaching have been raised each year. From the beginning, those graduating from the eighth grade were admitted. So the requirement remained for ten years when it became necessary for one to complete one year of high school before entering. The following year, two years of high school training were required, and in 1917, one had to be a graduate of high school before entering. Now the qualifications are the same as those for college entrance. One-year, two-year and three-year courses are now offered, and this year a four-year basis for the Normal was authorized. Also a one-year course is offered to university graduates. The courses of study have been expanded. New features have been Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 9 ---------- added in the various departments. The Federal Government has granted six thousand dollars to the Department of Hygiene. This department will be co-ordinated with the Department of Biological Science. With the co-operation of the head of this department with the School Nurse and the Physical Education, instructors and teachers will be better trained to carry on general work in personal and community hygiene. The enlarged manual training building provides separate rooms for elementary woodwork, advanced woodwork, forge work, mechanical draw-ing, printing, and smaller rooms for repairing and finishing work. A great development has taken place in the Extension Department in the past two years, and results of this work are becoming more and more pronounced. This course is given to those who wish to do part of their Normal work while teaching, and receive credits for their work, graduates who wish to keep in touch with the educational movements of the day, graduates of other institutions who wish to take some Normal work, and teachers and others desiring general culture. Sixteen of our teachers are engaged in this field, and twenty-two subjects are taught. These instructors sometimes hold community meetings where people may get in closer touch with one another, or where they may learn from speakers sent out from this school. By special arrangement, books may be secured from the Normal Library by those taking correspondence work. The Student Loan Fund has proved instrumental to many in securing their education. Students may borrow from this fund to complete an entire course if they so desire. The fund increased from $1,800 to $12,000 in two years through the assistance of 'Mr. Charles Allen, of Seattle. As the demand for more and better teachers is in evidence, so this school has and ever will meet that situation, by itself becoming bigger and better each year.

As we look back over the path we have trod, we think with sorrow that our Junior days will be no more. Many jolly mixers, where the spirit of good-fellowship held sway, helped us in becoming acquainted, and in binding us together in unvidided loyalty to the Class of 1921. The art of the Juniors to enjoy a good time is unsurpassed and the memory of these jollifications will be with us always. Clubs and societies rejoiced to find in our midst such talent and wisdom. Without us their former reputations could never have been upheld. In athletics we have shown our capability and willingness to play the game, as well as to give the " peppy" support that means so much to every team. Our girls showed their efficiency by their victory over the mighty Seniors in the Kline Cup series. The majority of the members of the school teams, needless to say, were chosen from the Class of 1921. Dramatics also held a high place among us. Our class play, "The Scarecrow," will long be remembered by those who saw it. The beauty of the play and the talent of the players made that finished production one of our most treasured memories. The success of the year is due to a very large extent to the unceasing work, and true interest of our class advisors, and to them we are deeply grateful. " In closing, "when distance lends enchantment to the view," and fond memory brings to our minds the many helpful and joyful things that happened during our dear Junior days, may we show by our deeds and lives our appreciation for all that we have gained, and, as Tiny Tim said, "God bless us everyone!" - BERNICE DAY. Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 28 ---------- FRAYER 'p4 ~A gt; ) VI, V. 0le runior's 3arIell We needs must ponder ere we journey forth With joyous hopes, each on his separate way, A little on those things we leave behind, Which came to mean so much in our brief stay. The new-made friends from whom we now must part, The hills we climbed, the vales we wandered through Those things which helped enrich and shape our lives Are ours eternally, though we must bid old scenes adieu. Twenty-eight TEFPARATIOU PLIIMOEE ), 13 ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 29 ---------- In the early days of September a crowd of expectant looking persons assembled from the four corners of the earth, waited their turn patiently in Professor Bever's office. Some felt more at home than others, as they were Juniors the year before, others having done some work in other insti-tutions, and still others, in fact the majority, were returning after several years of experience in the teaching profession. This is the secret of the patience shown as they waited their turn in the line, standing first upon one foot and then upon the other. The following officers were elected for the first quarter: Pearl Nesson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . President Helen Robertsen .. . .. ...... . Vice-President Ethel Burkland .. ............. . Secretary Mary Lee.. . ............. . Treasurer SECOND QUARTER OFFICERS Stella Lowry ....... ......... . President Regina Frank . ..... ..... Vice-President Mildred Murry ............ . .

Secretary Agnes Pettigrew . . . ... .... .. . Treasurer The opening days of school were indeed busy ones and several social functions did much toward making the students happy. The first Senior mixer was enjoyed during the last days of October. Did we have a good time! Anyone who made their entrance into the gymnasium by sliding down the " chutes " and joined in all the contests and games with zest will say we spent an enjoyable evening. The Senior Class did their part toward bidding their brothers and sisters, the November and March graduates, a fond adieu. A delightful banquet was given in honor of the March graduates at the Pheasant Tea Room and Dr. Nash most delightfully entertained them as well. The seventeenth of April was the date of the famous Chuckanut Marathon in which a large per cent of the school participated. Competi-tion was strong between the classes for the winning of the prize, the Herald cup, but the spirit in which the students responded was whole-hearted and joyous. Among the whirl of events that occupied our last days together was the " Senior Sneak." Yes, it was a real sneak! All cares were put aside. Such worries that especially appear during the " last days " were absolutely forgotten. Eats were plenty, spirits were high, studies were forgotten. You know the rest! We sincerely appreciate the hearty co-operation of our class advisors, Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller, and now I suppose we must bid our dear B. S. N. S. a long farewell. Although it is farewell, still memory will always bring us back to her. - ANAIDE MAE MYERS. Twenty- nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 30 ---------- #rnior Cass rop pry Mildred Murray - Margaret Xitco is still in the profession. Now at Columbia. ;o Hazel Peterson - Anne Adams is studying music in New York. She made old B. S. N. S. a visit while on her last tour of the West. Edith Kesler--You ask for a list of Elwyn Bugge's latest plays. Here are six of them: "Blue Roses," "Midnight at Noon," " The Flea Who Loved an Elephant," "The Horrible Joy," "The Stationary Comet" and "Reaching Down 9 " from the Bottom." Ethel Burklund - Could I advise you as to which would make the better husband, a garage man or a floor walker? What, not married yet? I-/. . No, I'm sorry. I can't. Gertrude Dupuis - You can get the Columbia record of Mme. Peronteau's recitation entitled "To a Man Who Journeyed Afar." Ann Bennett--No, Effie Mann and Rhoda Hubbard are not jealous of each other. Why should they be? They each have a husband. Harry Bartruff- -No, indeed, never let a woman have the key to your heart; there's more fun letting her pick the lock - at last!!! Russel MacPherson - Yes, Ethel Brown is teaching in South America. What's the matter, Mac; did your bubbles fade and die? Estelle Burnside - No, I have searched the country over and not yet have I found a man with "parallel" eyebrows. I'm afraid, Estelle, you will have to change your tastes.

No use, "Gracie," only Physical Ed. girls need apply. Muriel Lee - Well, I certainly can't answer such questions as, "Is Kenneth Selby divorced? " Gladys Jensen- Yes, Mrs. Carpenter's life work has been and will be illustrated lecture courses on "Look Before You Leap." Olga Kuehl - As to Clyde. Bancroft's whereabouts. You remember he was wounded three times in the Meuse-Argonne offensive (consult your anatomy dictionary) and now he has joined the Bull's Eye Film Co. Francis John- What, Francis, still an old maid? You want to know what I believe about equality between man and woman. "I do not talk of equality between a cabbage and a rose." Grace Green - Harold Marshall is now at Washington debating the nation-wide anti-grape juice question. Lyla Robin - " Dr." Warrick is now studying :n Vienna. His former practice has been at Ferndale. - M. A. P. '20.

The store has been in existence since 1908 and, until four years ago, was operated by student help. Then Mr. C. C. Baughman, a former student of this school, took full charge and under his capable and efficient manage-ment its resources have steadily increased until now its capital outlay is practically four times what it was at the time he assumed the management. During the past year Miss Ruth Sanford, a graduate of Whatcom High School, of this city, has ably served as the store assistant, and her pleasant manner and charming personality have won her the friendship of all the students. The " Co-op " aims not only to supply students with the proper equip-ment for school and recreative life at moderate cost, but it stands for efficiency in its management, prompt service and courtesy to its patrons.

It did not at that time bear the name under which it is now published, "The Weekly Messenger." In 1903 the size of the paper was slightly increased, and it was then published monthly and remained a monthly publication until 1916 when it became a weekly publication, although its size had again been increased both in size of sheet and in number of pages. The paper was very successful and has continued since that time as " The Weekly Messenger." During the present school year the paper has been published in the regular sized eight-page form with the exception of a few issues during the second quarter when it was temporarily reduced to meet the extra expense incurred by the publication of a very beautiful magazine issued at the Christmas season giving a history of the institution and appropriate cuts of the buildings and grounds and a handsome full-page photograph of the president of the school to whom the special issue was dedicated. The Weekly Messenger is published by the Students' Association of the Bellingham State Normal School. A business manager is appointed by the Board of Control at the beginning of each year, and is paid a salary. The editor is appointed quarterly through the advice and recommendation of the censor of the paper and the endorsement of the Board of Control. He receives credit in English. A faculty advisor is appointed by the president of the school and does the work of censorship of the contributed material as well as the general makeup of the paper. Training in journalism is required for eligibility to the office of editor or staff-membership.

During the past year our Normal School has made a very satisfactory record in that line; although one branch of sports did not "function" in our school this year. The second quarter of school found abundant material for a foot-ball squad worthy of representing the average college. However, it was the second quarter instead of the first when this material could have been used. In 1916, Coach Carver was given credit for turning out the strongest non-conference football team in the West. With the return of many of the men now in school, together with the coming of others who are suit-able, it is hoped that he may be able next fall not only to turn out a team able to make a good showing with the non-conference teams, but also that his team can be scheduled with conference representatives.

The sports par-ticipated in have been basketball, baseball, tennis and swimming. We are planning to have the hockey field fixed and play the clos-ing weeks of school. Although we have in- dulged in only a few games, credit is due to Miss Moffat and Mr. Carver for the splendid spirit of co- operation and sportsmanship which has been developed. The girls who have taken an active part in athletics have received the joy that comes from one of the best activities of school life. Every girl should share the opportunity offered them. CARVER p MOFFAT Fifty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 53 ---------- BASKETBALL FAIRHAVEN H. S. 8 - NORMAL 26 The basketball season opened after two weeks of practice in our " gymette " with a game with Fairhaven High School. The game was very greatly enjoyed by the spectators, for seldom does one see a game in which both teams pass and shoot so wildly. The game demonstrated to us a great need of team work and basket shooting. BLAINE H. S. 14 - NORMAL 26 MOUNT VERNON 8 - NORMAL 39 During the Christmas holidays the team assembled several times for practice; they also played two games during that time. The first was a contest with Blaine High School at Blaine and was a victory for the Normal. The second game was played with the Mount Vernon American Legion at Mount Vernon. Here the first signs of hope for a basketball team were raised, as great improvement was shown, both in passing and in basket shooting. WHATCOM 14 - NORMAL 15 We have no alibi for not running up a larger score on the loopers from Whatcom. A failure " to get started " seems the only excuse, although the game was a spirited game and was played before a large crowd. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 26 - NORMAL 24 The fast Canadian group looped two free throws too many. They won a fair game and proved themselves true sportsmen. WHATCOM H. S. 12- NORMAL 18 In the second game played with Whatcom the Normal team was beaten according to soothsayers and prophets even before the game was staged or the first whistle blown. The large gym was a handicap to our men, after their practice on the smaller floor on the hill. However, we secured eight field goals to Whatcom's two and the final score stood in favor of the Normal. C. P. S. 8 - NORMAL 32 The quintet from Tacoma came up to play us in our own gym, but we failed " to get properly wound up." Our visitors demonstrated very good football tactics but they failed to loop the ball a single time during the entire game. They did manage to make eight out of seventeen free throws. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 25 - NORMAL 15 Our little trip to the Canadian metropolis proved conclusively that a group playing together for several years has a very great advantage over the " one-year team." The Ex-Normal team again defeated us by out-playing and out-shooting us. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE 24 - NORMAL 33 St. Martin's College, of Lacy, spent a very enjoyable evening with us, leaving with the little end of the score. We found these fellows clean sports, and feel it a pleasure to have relations with them. Fifty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [54] ---------- BARTRUFF (CAPT.), G. YORKSTOW, F. JENKINs, F.

STARTUP 23 - NORMAL 36 We started on our east-of-the-mountains trip, but the " flu " prevented our going farther than Startup where we played and won the last game of the season.

Our defeat was due mostly to wild pitching and wilder base throwing. MOUNT VERNON 9- NORMAL 7 Mount Vernon came up here two weeks later only to defeat us in the last inning. The Blue and White had gradually forged ahead until the eighth inning which found us two scores to the good. But our opponents, rallying, scored four times in the ninth and secured the victory. FAIRHAVEN 0 -NORMAL 8 The game with Fairhaven High School was encouraging, as well as providing excellent practice for the game with Whatcom which followed. WHATCOM 6- NORMAL 10 Again we found these prophets of sports rather dazed and uncertain when we defeated Whatcom High School. The team from the " School on the hill " started out rather raggedly in the first two innings and the boys and girls from Whatcom were delirious. But Coach Carver's men caught the spirit of the old fight and kept climbing until the close of the game.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Basketball, the most important and popular of girls' athletics, is inspir-ing much pep and enthusiasm in the basketball lovers. Both Juniors and Seniors hoped to receive the Kline Cup, but the Juniors were the pronounced all-star champions. Every year the two classes compete for the Kline Cup. PHILOS 33 -- RURAL LIFE 5 The Philos and Rural Life played a preliminary game before the clash of our boys with Whatcom. The game was a fast exhibition of girls' basket-ball. The fast and skillful guarding of Regina Frank and Hilda Woodburn prevented the Rural Life forwards from building up a high score. Only one field basket was secured by the Rural Life forwards, the other three points being made on free throws. PHILOS RURAL LIFE Agee ........ F........ Wilstead Xitco. ........ .........

Whatcom failed to come up to the Normal score during the first half, but during the second half they tied the score by securing a free throw, and two more field baskets made things seem pretty dark for the Normal team. The Normal team set to work in grim earnest and soon had the score in their favor and so it remained until the end of playing time.

The Philo-Sopher was published first in October, 1919, to us falling the honor of being its editor. It immediately became the journal of the Philos and has fulfilled the duty of unifying the society. Who could forget the " Ode Initiatione " by Miss Whittier or the Forecast Number, edited by Miss Sutherland? The Junior coupe at the first of the year placed Roswell Oliver in the president's chair and two other of that class in offices. Miss Estella Burn-side, vice-president of the Student's Association and chairman of the Klip-sun Committee, was our next president. Elwyn Bugge, editor of the Klipsun, succeeded her in the third quarter. sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 63 ---------- The Philos boast of two Si's - " Sci " Philippi and " Psy " Kolstad. The Philo initiation proved a source of joy to the older members but of misery and fright to the " noveaux Philo." Spaghetti was the characteristic dish on the menu. Look into the records of responsible positions of the school and into the literary and other rewards. The Abou Ben Adhems' names are there. The Philos, as a society, were ten years of age on the twenty-second day of November. Then they celebrated in the true old Philo way at the home of Professor Philippi, with program, balloon races, birthday cake 'n everything. Dr. Nash, our oldest Philo, was present and gave us some advice as club members. The pinnacle of enjoyment was reached when we spent our annual week end at Mr. Kolstad's cottage by Lake Whatcom. The experience was varied, from sleeping in bath tubs and row boats to playing baseball on Sunday. Verily, we will go again, if invited. The annual banquet was held at the Leopold on April 10th. There our desires, physical and intellectual, were amply fulfilled, to the accompani-ment of music, readings and most witty toasts. That the Philos are appreciative of music was proved when we were entertained by the Philomonic Orchestra, which played from the works of Ivan Offulitch, the great Russian composer. When the orchestra had fin-ished we applauded loudly. Although the boys were defeated in basketball, the Philo girls obtained revenge by an unmentionable score. Santa Claus visited us three days before Christmas and applied for admission into the society. What does the word " Philomathean " mean? As Mr. Philippi explains, it may mean either " Lovers of Learning " or " Learners of Loving," perhaps. "That's why, that's why, a Philo feels that way. For once a Philo, always a Philo, forever and a day."

We are nearing the close of our fourteenth year. With each successive year we have added new friends and new ideals. The Alkisiah Club was formed in 1906 under the sponsorship of Miss Baker, who has continued in that capacity ever since. We hold the distinction of being the oldest club in the school and also of belonging to the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Throughout the years we have striven to keep always before us the ideals and the work of this great organization. Our first meeting this year was held at the home of Miss Baker, where although few in number we planned the work for the first quarter. One of the first social events of the year was the children's Hallowe'en party at Miss Baker's. Here all of the members came in pinafore and pgi-tail, to frolic before the fireplace and listen to stories. The success of a party, however, is always determined by the refreshments, so just mentioning pumpkin pie and stick candy will explain why everyone pro-claimed it " the nicest party " she had ever attended. Sixty-four p- pa~idk;3~j~i~~PY8~~S2- ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 65 ---------- The next event of importance was the initiation of new members. After finding their way from the third floor to the gymna,ium blindfolded, they were put through various stunts, even to riding the " goat." On February 14th, according to custom, we met at the Hotel Leopold for our annual banquet. There we were delighted to meet several of our former friends and clubmates. Now nineteen-twenty is a year That holds for girls a ray of cheer. So accordingly the Alkisiahs gave the first leap year party. Varying our custom of a Christmas bulb sale, we decided to postpone it until Easter time. Just before Easter about fifty blossoming bulbs were sold, from which we derived the double benefit of learning something of bulb culture as well as the financial aid. Hikes and outings comprised the social program for the spring months, our annual house party at Miss Baker's cottage on Lummi Island being the crowning event. Throughout the year we have had reports from the " Woman Citizen " in our meetings; in this way keeping in touch with the great work of the Federation. Last fall we received an inspiring report from the Federa-tion convention held in Centralia, Washington, to which Avis Dodge was our representative. We hope that again this year we may be represented. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER Muriel Lee ... ... .......... President Oza Myers . .. .... .. . . . . . Vice-President Lola Shepherd .... . . . . . . . .

Oh! and our stunt at the Country Fair Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 67 ---------- -' a photograph gallery' of the faculty, wasn't it? We made some money, didn't we? " -- Yes.

" ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 68 ---------- Okanogan, Wash., April 31, 1921. MY DEAR DOROTHY: As I sit at my desk- the children gone for the day - memories of last year's student life flash before me. Just one year ago today, I remember, the Thespians were so busy getting out posters for the four plays, " Weeping Wives," " Dust of the Road," " Open Gates " and " The Bishop's Candlesticks." Mr. Hoppe was so wonderfully patient with us and without him our success would have been impossible. How I wish you could drop in on us some evening and see our dear little birds' nest of a cottage. We're very careful to see that there is enough fuel in for the evening, curtains are drawn after sunset, and never answer the door after dark. Not afraid to stay alone or afraid in the dark--you understand--but we are of a too convivial nature to enjoy the songs of the night birds and tree toads. Both of us are strong believers in dreams - and such horrid ones are generally the result. O, that makes me think of the play " Unsuppressed Desires " we gave last year. Mae Andersen, Will Beardsley and Loraine Winters were the cast, were they not? Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 69 ---------- Glancing to the back of the room, my eyes fall on some Pilgrim posters the children made in November. They remind me of the dainty little en-tertainment the November graduates presented us with. What a picturesque little group - every member in the Puritan costumes, sitting very prim, en-joying the Swedish reading, " Courtship of Miles Standish " by Pearl Nesson, and the quaint little songs by the quartette. Then they led us to the cafeteria to that real Thanksgiving dinner - as near like the original as could have been arranged. Remember the night we clashed victoriously with the Philos in debate? But after that animated little farce starring Helen Robertson, Tromp and Roe, we were friends all over again. Helen just came and wants me to go home so I will finish " The Thespian Biography " this evening. 8 P. M., SAME DAY This is my evening to keep the old fireplace glowing. Between firing-up times perhaps I can talk to you. Did the Normal have a Country Fair this year? Wasn't our booth pretty last year? Those days we spent making wisteria and cherry blossoms-- makes me tired yet. Such a long debate we participated in over a booth and finally decided on a Japanese tea garden. The unique costumed little maidens toddling here and there serving the kneeling guests to tea; tinkling Japanese music, and the heavy odor of incense added to its bizarre-like atmosphere. Will you ever forget the night we entertained the two basketball teams the night we played the C. P. S.? How dexteriously Archie Erickson ex-changed Dr. Nash's and Sam Carver's dish of jello when it was discovered that Gretchen had accidentally added salt to some of the whipped cream in place of sugar. Our worries were few compared to our good times and accomplish-ments. It is growing late and our fuel is low, so I must bring these dreams to a close. I think it's all right to dream if we don't make dreams our master, don't you? Always yours, - BEVERLY P. S. - Give all Thespians my best greetings. Once a Thespian, always a Thespian.

All the world is filled with charm and beauty That the eyes of art alone can see, And the club that knows about this beauty Is the Studio Art Club - We! " Why, hello Amy! Where in the wide world have you been keeping yourself this past year? How is Harold and the baby? Yes, I graduated last year, too. I couldn't get a man, so I got a teacher's diploma. " Things have been in such a whirl lately. I have been on the go con- stantly. But the most weird thing of all happened last Saturday night when a bunch of us girls went over to that old woman who tells fortunes by crystal gazing. You remember her, don't you? She lives out near Elizabeth Park. Well, anyhow she picked out Julia, Ethol and me and then she just let out a regular blizzard. Seventy ~E~ ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 71 ---------- She began by saying that we all had a great deal in common. She said that she saw a many-colored band around us. Of course none of us believes it, but it did make us think of our club days. She sort of waved her hands in the air and made me, at least, think that she was painting a picture. This queer woman then said in her sepulchral voice, 'Spirits of you who sit in this circle, I see in the past that you have worked out in black and white that which will bring to you fame and admiration. You have taken pure carbon and upon white parchment you have made much beauty of line. You have each worked out your own life's thoroughfare. One shall travel on country roads, another shall choose the smooth lake, while another shall journey forth upon a wild sea of dark surroundings.' " I didn't tell her, Amy, but you know those charcoal sketches that we made in Art Club last year, each represented something that she men-tioned. I don't believe that she knew what she was talking about, but isn't it queer? " Then she went on to say that beauty was an expression of the spirit. Ours had proved itself by delighting an audience of country folks, prize babies and even the renowned Jesse James at a country fair. That must have been the one the school gave for the Klipsun fund. You remember how we worked for hours at a time making hearts, cupids, baskets and everything else. " Yes, Amy, and that's what capped the climax! She told about the movie that we attended, and then she told how Helen had gone east of the mountains and had married that good looking man of hers, even though she had been offered the position of art instructor under Miss Druse. " Now, I really don't see how that woman knew so much and I really don't believe a word of it, it is so uncanny, but - ah, there's your car now! Do give my love to your mother. Good-bye!

Miss Crawford and Miss Woodard have been the sponsors for the last two years, and the club has prospered. There are thirty member now enrolled. During the winter the program consisted of studies of various nations. The people, their language and costumes, their literature and music were discussed. In addition there was a study of astronomy. Several charts were made of the most important constellations and the girls spent some Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 73 ---------- very interesting evenings " star-gazing." They studied the position of the stars and learned the legends connected with the names of the stars. The club enjoyed a Christmas party just before the vacation. A large number were present and took part in the merry-making. Several new members were initiated. Dainty refreshments concluded the party. Every-one agreed that there was not a dull moment during the affair. On February 19 the club held a Colonial party. George and Martha Washington, impersonated by Miss Sears and Miss Peronteau, received the guests. Nathaniel Green, Lafayette, Stark, Benjamin Franklin and many other famous Revolutionary gentlemen attended, each with his wife. Old time games and dances occupied the evening. Refreshments, in which cherries predominated, were served in the cafeteria. Just before Arbor Day the girls hiked to Flat Rock. They toasted marshmallows and practiced songs and yells until darkness forced them to take the home trail. Aletheia spent an evening at Dead Man's Point. There around the fire the girls told Indian legends and discussed Indian music. Although marsh-mallows were never an article of Indian diet, the girls did not fail io appreciate them. At the following meeting the girls played a number of Indian records on the Victrola. On Arbor Day the Aletheian colors were conspicuous. The grey and rose streamers floated in the air, carried by white clad girls. In addition to the rose bush already flourishing, the girls planted an ivy vine on the western side of the Training School. The little plant seemed to imbibe the spirit of the songs and yells of that day, for it is growing vigorously. The year has been a fine one for the club, unsurpassed by any in the past. The future seems bright with promises of success for Aletheia.

Late flowers bloomed in the garden and an air of peace and quiet seemed to pervade the place. A recitation was in progress and the other children were so busily engaged at their desks that it was possible for me to enter unnoticed and remain an undiscovered but greatly interested visitor. This simple but pleasant school room was a delightful place in which to linger. It was an industrious and happy school, made so by a teacher with the true rural spirit, who after dismissing her school gave me a most cordial welcome, expressing regret that she had not found me out sooner. Her eyes lighted with joy when I mentioned B. S. N. S. " Oh, you are an old Bellingham student! Then of course you know Mr. Heckmann and Mr. Coughlin, our Rural Life Club sponsors. I am very much indebted to them for the ideas which you have approved so highly in my work this afternoon. We have a very active P.-T. A. Its members have been no end of help to me, and it is the ideal P.-T. A. which Mr. Heckmann so enthusiastically advocated." Then in a reminiscent mood I told her of some of the good times I had with the Rural Lifers back in 1920: "At a Valentine party Mr. Coughlin told us of a vision he had of an ideal community. I have not seen all of your community, but if it corresponds to your school his dream is realized." She modestly acknowledged my praise by saying, "A true product of the rural course of dear old B. S. N. S. could not do less, but infinitely more." We chatted for some time, recalling many delightful experiences in the Rural Life Club. I related the events of our first meeting at Whatcom Falls: the " ripping" game of baseball, the appetizing eats, the cheerful chat of our sponsors and last but not least the toasting of marshmallows over a big bonfire while we roused the timid woodfolk with our hearty singing. " You enjoyed the Rural Life conferences?" I continued, " So did I. I think the Rural Lifers appreciated the situation presented by Mrs. Preston more keenly than others because our hearts were in it. Vividly she re-called to mind various sojourns in the country schools and the needs which existed then as they do now - needs of community centers and more intelli-gent living upon the farm. After her address we gathered in the big gym and romped hilariously like little children." Reluctantly I bade the little teacher farewell and went on my way rejoicing at her success and hoping the other Rural Lifers were duplicating her spirit and as successfully realizing the hopes of their Alma Mater. - ETHEL MCCLELLAN Seventy-five ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [76] ---------- 0 0 cu ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 77 ---------- Gloyral IGlub OFFICERS FIRST QUARTER Pearl Ingalls ................

Reporter There is no part or group in the Student Body of Bellingham State Normal School so small, so remote or far removed from the activities of the school but what has come in contact with the Choral Club. This club is the melting pot of all the other social and literary organizations of the school. Students have long recognized the potential value of the club, as is proved by our list of seventy active members. The club is one of the oldest in school. It was started about 1904 by a few lovers of music, for the sole purpose of enjoying an hour of community singing. It has now become a regular part of the school program, meeting at the 1 o'clock hour every Tuesday. Since music (as one author states) is one of the four fundamental elements of life -the purpose of the club is to learn to appreciate and reproduce the better type of music suited to a girls' chorus in any com-munity. The early efforts of the club this year resulted in rendering several selections for the student assembly. The latter part of the year was spent in preparing an operetta, " The Feast of the Little Lanterns," which was given in April. This proved to be the debut of our most talented members. Sometimes our individual precepts have been rather indefinite, our interest has sometimes shifted to other scenes. But through the persistent labors of our director, Mrs. Thatcher, we have in the end reached our goal. But as a whole, our climb has been so interesting that few members have dropped out prematurely. But this club is not all work. We have enjoyed many social evenings and look forward to many more next year. Wise is she who joins. - GRACE G. GREEN Seventy-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 78 ---------- . E. Mar (lub At the beginning of the first quarter (1919) eight had entered the newly organized course in physical education. These eight met one day in the gymnasium and decided informally to organize a club, planning our first good time-a hike to Chuckanut. This was followed by an early morning breakfast up Sunset Trail. Some weeks later a strictly gymnastic dinner was cooked and served in the Domestic Science rooms. It was Hallowe'en Eve as I remember, and the only goblins were those partaking in the delicious eats. Just before Christmas we were good as we could be and were rewarded with a mock track meet given by Misses Moffat and Williams. " Pep" and skill were not lacking. The elephant's miraculous stunts at the circus will long be remembered with jovial laughter. Another breakfast! This time at Initial Rock. Here as before the coffee deserves honorable mention. It was just like mother used to make before she learned how to cook. Hurrah! twelve more have realized the great value and need of physi-cal education and have entered the course with us. We hope to see many more take up the work with the realization that health is necessary for the attainment of every worthy ambition and achievement. May they go forth to teach this, the first work of the school, with whole-hearted interest and enthusiasm. Seventy-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 79 ---------- ~ee~x0 Few groups without regular officers or time of meeting have so per-sistently pursued their purpose as have the Young Housekeepers. The dean, Miss Woodard, has for the past few years interested herself in the welfare of the many girls who do their own housekeeping, and at intervals has called them together for discussion, consultation and mutual help. During this year there were not many gatherings, but reports of those few were scattered broadcast. Among the items in a certain news-paper were some quite unbelievable stories about what the Normal girls were doing to the H. C. of L. After musical selections, the main points of interest at the meetings were definite study of the food value in calories of our most common foods; balanced rations from the standpoint of the main elements in them; their cost, and labor-saving devices. Different houses tried to see which would excel in offering the best menu for a reasonable price. These gatherings were very profitable, and if the Young Housekeepers did not serve refreshments at their meetings they at least had much " food for thought." Seventy-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 80 ---------- ,uNsines 6irl E1ague The Business Girls' League, an organization of approximately seventy members, was founded by Miss Exean Woodard, Dean of Women, for the purpose of co-operating with the working girls and meeting the difficulties arising in their several lines of employment. The one big social feature of the year was the Business Girls' banquet, which was given in the Normal Cafeteria. The hall was artistically hung with clinging ivy and draperies in the league colors of blue and white. Miss Estelle Burnside acted as toastmistress, while the toasts were given by the following honorable members: Mrs. Samuel Gompers (Estelle Burn-side), Mrs. Herbert Hoover (Hilda M.

Such primitive amusements, however, were not the only means employed to make life agreeable. In the second and third quarters two mixers were held and were enjoyed by the entire club and the boys of the school. - FLORENCE BAKER, Reporter.

He will tell you to make a trip to Alaska so you may become an Alaska Club member, and will add that should you do so, you will never regret it. Not a happier group could be imagined than those who answered the call issued at the beginning of the second quarter. Upon being organized the club planned its first event. It might prop-erly be called a rush down to Camp Perfection. No one could make any of the members who were there admit that they did not have the time of their lives, though it is rumored that the bill of fare was limited to catsup, cookies, buns and pickles. The club's second affair of the quarter was a banquet and theater party. Everyone who was there declared that they had a good time. During the early part of the third quarter, the club enjoyed an outing at Mr. Kolstad's cabin on Lake Whatcom. Memories of ham and eggs still linger.

Miss Sperry, who had returned from a year's vacation, brought the message. The social events of the year began with the annual Y. W. reception to the whole school Fri-day evening, September 26. Many acquaintances Ninety ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 91 ---------- DES MOINES DELEGAIES were formed which have ripened into friendships during the year. Punch and wafers were served. After the organization of the cabinet the work moved along rapidly. The chairman of the Bible Study Committee soon had classes organized in the largest rooming houses on the hill. About two hundred fifty have been enrolled in these classes. The Y. W. C. A. has been serving the school in a very practical way through their management of the cafeteria. Miss Brown, the Northwest Field Secretary, visited in early November to interest us in the great Student Volunteer Convention held in Des Moines, Iowa, during the Christmas vacation. We are proud to think that our Student Body, Faculty and Alumni with the assistance of the Y. W. made it possible to send our full quota of six delegates to this convention. The annual Bible Institute was held January 15 to 18. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle, came again to be our speaker. This, as in other years, was a time of great inspiration. The Association has been especially blessed by the visits of mission-aries this year. First, Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Clark brought us a message of opportunity from India. Next, Rev. Stanley Soltau made us feel the heroism and the wonderful faith of the Koreans. Miss Cable and the Misses French brought us greetings from two of our own students, Lydia Berthold and Nina Gemmell, in China. These glimpses into the foreign field broadened our vision of Christian service. Ninety-one ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 92 ---------- 14titu lahattatt At the suggestion of Dr. Miller there was formed at the beginning of the school year an organization termed by outsiders as " The Men's Auxil-iary." Its membership included all of the men of the school, both faculty and student, and its aim was to promote clean, wholesome fellowship among the men students and to otherwise foster a spirit of friendliness and co-operation among its members. Several genuine " stag " socials were held during the year, which were judged by all concerned to be the greatest gloom chasers in history. 0519 ooIterr After Christmas some of the young men who had been prominent in student activities met and formed " The Boosters." Though social in nature, this club was formed along an entirely different line from any then existing in the Normal School. The object of the club is to foster good spirit among the students as a whole and between the organizations of the school. It aims to promote an interest in the Normal among the high school students, many of whom do not understand the work of this school either because it has not been brought to their attention, or because they are indifferent.

Test tubes and retorts of chemical lab-oratories give no account of experi- ments carried on in them; but the children of the Training School bear a permanent impression and can give an account of the experi-ments which the Seniors have been conducting with them for subjects. 'With this in mind, late in April, the children of the Training School were asked to write what things they had done during the year, which they considered the GERTRUDE Supt. most interesting with a reason for EARInT Tr. Dept. the answer. The answers of these questions are a measure of the success of the experiments, which have been performed in the Training School this year. The first grade children cover a greater diversity of impressions in their reports than any other class. They tell about work for various holidays beginning with Hallowe'en. They like to play stories because they are so " inter-sting." They go to the library to see the pictures and read the Peter Rabbit books. They make a wigwam and Indian life groups on the sand-table, an Eskimo scene and a cotton field with negro workers. They also mention nearly every activity of their school day, including moving pictures, lunch room, " where we learn to act nice," and "'Semblies." In the second grade we get the first idea of studying a thing because "It's good for me." The children are interested in the May-pole dance they are learning, in the sand table and in their songs. The third grade worked out several projects in history which remain in their memories, among them the Viking Boat, an Egyptian House and a Pioneer Wagon. The fourth class tell of their history projects as making a Greek temple; their excursoin as when they studied a bay; their garden project and number work which grew out of that. They also tell about the costume designing in drawing. The fifth and sixth grades enjoy particularly their various dramatiza-tions. They mention some history dramatization and explain how this makes their work more interesting. They tell how the dramatization in English makes them more careful in punctuation, capitalization and also Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 94 ---------- that it helps them " to speak better." Much interest is shown in their Book of Myths of Bellingham, and the magazines for the hospitals. The reasons given by the Junior High School pupils for their work are more clearly defined. Many of them speak of some project in English and say that they gained a greater appreciation for literature and sometimes the moral is mentioned. The benefits gained in punctuation, in the use of verbs, in the mechanics of writing and in general information are all given as reasons why they approve English project. The children see the advantage of the superiority of the Senior plans as well as the Senior, herself. One teacher devised the scheme for three of the class to act as judges to decide whether tolics were satisfactorily handled. The 7-A pupil who reports this says, " This made us study our lessons more thoroughly." Manual training has interested the boys because of the articles of furniture they were able to make for their homes. One class measured and calculated the cost of the excavation for the new dormi-tory. The pupils also tell what they gained from excursions made early in the year when studying types of industry. These reports from the children prove that the Seniors have put their pedagogy and psychology into practice; and have show themselves able to handle the very latest frills in education in such a way as to be both inter-esting and beneficial to the children. TRAINING SCHOOL ATHLETICS The boys' basketball was not as successful this year as in the past. This was largely due to insufficient practice, as the boys were deprived of practice periods to a large extent. Nevertheless they worked hard and faithfully, practicing whenever they could. Out of a total of eight games three were won. The games won were against Ferndale, Scout Troop 4 and Roeder. A good showing was made against the large heavy team from Lowell and in the last game with Franklin the score was only 12 to 13 at the close of the game. The boys were coached by Arthur E. Bowsher. On April 2bth the boys were presented their letters. Those earning letters were Lester White, Vance Radvaney, forwards; Claude Snitzler, center; Arnold Wastrom, Montford Alsop, guards; Weston Hayes and Elmer Peterson, substitutes. The girls' team won two games out of three played. These were from Franklin. The game lost was with Lowell. After this game the Training School girls served refreshments to the two teams which were enjoyed by all.

At Liberty Hall Sunday evening the oratorio was repeated to a very large and appreciative audience. There were several very beautiful solos, duets and quartets given by Mrs. G. W. Nash, soprano; Mrs. H. W. Spratley, contralto; Mr. Oscar Shaw, tenor, and Mr. C. B. Harter, bass. The accompanists were Miss Maud Williams and Miss Edith Kesler. The whole oratorio was beautifully rendered and reflected much credit on the director. THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, the Choral Club gave one of the most artistically beautiful programs of the whole year when they presented " The Feast of the Little Lanterns," a Chinese operetta by Paul Bliss, Friday evening, April 23. The stage was artistically decorated with colored lanterns and bright flowers. The chorus and cast, dressed in their gayly colored costumes, gave us many beautiful songs and dances. The Oriental atmosphere of the operetta carried the entire audience to the distant land of China where they all spent a most delightful evening. The soloists were Dora Agee, Irene Stewart, Anaide Myers, Ethel Burk-land, Helen Jones, solo dancer; Elwood Davis, Ira Loree and Archie Erick-son. THE NORMAL QUARTET The mixed quartet, consisting of Pearl Ingalls, soprano; Grace Thatcher, alto; Elwyn Bugge, tenor, and Mr. M. B. Thatcher, bass, who substituted for Guy Stickney during his absence, have given some pleasing entertainments during the year. They went to Lawrence and other places near here, giving an evening's program in each place. Their program consisted of quartet numbers, duets, solos and violin music by Mr. Bugge. Victoria Huston went with them as reader and Edith Kesler as piano soloist. The quartet was organized and directed by Mrs. Thatcher, whose efforts helped to make. the organization a distinct success.

A boy delivers a duck which must be paid for and Susan, Mrs. Corbett's niece, meets the difficulty. Mr. Guild-ford, a suitor of Susan, is expected for dinner, thus the added delicacy. The dinner proves to be a success and Susan and Guildford steal quietly away and return blushing and happy, as they have become engaged. But in the midst of the rejoicing Mrs. Guildford, a very cold and dignified per-son, is ushered in and upsets the happy plans because she insinuates that Susan is already the third girl to whom Ripley had been engaged. Mrs. Corbett remains a staunch friend to Ripley Guildford through all the trouble and tries to make Susan see her mistake in dismissing Ripley. Mr. Corbett, who has won considerable fame in his brave deeds in South Africa, tries to enlist in the present war, but at first is refused because of his age, but finally he is accepted. Hobbs also enlists and is likewise accepted. Ripley and Susan's love affair is mended, due to the Ripley's assertion that the girl in question is happily married. And thus the difficulty is solved. Financial straits are likewise improved and all the characters are left in a contented frame of mind. ?Eurning of @Cnr-Art $jalla The members of Mr. Hoppe's expression class put on a series of four one-act plays, on the evening of February 24th.

The first part of the evening was spent in the auditorium with " stunts" pulled off by the various occupants of the different houses on the hill. After the stunts they very quietly adjourned down the banisters to the big gymnasium, where they all joined in games and contests which lasted until someone called " Eats! " With a great amount of hesitation they rushed to the " eats " booth where ice cream and wafers were dealt out without even the asking. After this cool reception they all went home, well pleased with " Normal society." BELLINGHAM, WASH., DEC. 16, 1919. - Last evening the " minority" of the Bellingham Normal banqueted and enjoyed their own society to the utmost. Along with their other ingredients they swallowed speeches, impromptu and otherwise, toasts, songs and yells - until all wished for more elasticity to the membrane of some parts of their anatomy. BELLINGHAM, WASH., FEB. 7, 1920. - Last night at the Normal occurred one of the most interesting events in the history of Bellingham. This was a genuine Country Fair, staged by the students of the school. After an intensely interesting comedy and vocal solos in the auditorium, the entrance to the grounds were thrown open - only to be filled by the rush of Bellingham's population. Here they were entertained with events ranging from grand opera to dog show. Some of the special features were vaudeville, fortune telling, stock shows, rogues' gallery, baby contest and eats. Never in the life of the big gym has the moon witnessed such an evening of co-operated pep and whole-hearted enjoyment as that of last night. BELLINGHAM, WASH., MARCH 6, 1920.- Friday evening, March 5, the men of the Normal enjoyed themselves at a smoker held in the small gym. Numerous forms of entertainment were indulged in, such as boxing, wrestling, racing and horizontal and parallel bar exhibitions. Following this violent exercise they were refreshed with cider and doughnuts. BELLINGHAM, WASH., APRIL 17, 1920.-- One of the events of the year at the Bellingham Normal that depends upon the weather-cock is the annual Chuckanut Marathon which was celebrated by the students on Saturday, April 17, 1920. One Hundred ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [101] ---------- :v IN ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 102 ---------- Among (Our Thtiters THEO. KARLE Theo. Karle, the great American tenor, gave us one of the treats of the season when he appeared at the Normal, October 13. His mastery of vocal technique, diction and musicianship give him equipment enabling him to present artistically the widest range of song literature. His voice mastery was admirably displayed in the Beethoven aria, " My Heart Is Sore." But the beauty and tenderness displayed in the shorter, simpler songs won the sincerest applause. CAROLINA LAZZARI Of all the musical programs which we were privileged to attend none was more enjoyed than the concert given by Carolina Lazzari, contralto. Her wide range, rich full tones and charming personality help make her one of the few great artists of today. MRS. MAUD E. WILLIS Mrs. Willis gave us an interesting program of plays in our auditorium November 28. She is called "an interpreter of plays" and justified the title in her interpretation of " The Witching Hour," the play of Augustus Thomas. Mrs. Willis is a woman of charming presence and a clear, pleasant voice, which won much applause from her audience. DR. ANNA REED Dr. Anna Reed, who came to us from Washington, D. C., where she is director of the junior division of Employment Service. She gave us a series of very interesting lectures. Dr. Reed showed herself to be a woman of rare personality, a very forceful as well as entertaining lecturer. TOM SKEYHILL Tom Skeyhill, an Australian war poet, speaker and soldier, appeared as the third number of our lecture course. As a speaker too much can not be said of his ability and after one has become used to the " English " in his voice, one sits spellbound or rocks with laughter as the case might be. He gave a lecture on "The Poetry of the War." LORADO TAFT On Monday evening, March 15, Lorado Taft, a prominent American sculptor, appeared at the Normal as the sixth number of our lecture course. He gave an illustrated lecture on " Rambles With the Boys in Burgundy." Many beautiful slides were shown, bringing out the art work on old cathe-drals, churches and monuments. Mr. Taft's lecture was very entertaining, and it was punctuated with bits of humor. FLONZALEY QUARTET The Flonzaley Quartet, often spoken of as the finest stringed quartet in existence, appeared here April 24 as the last number of our Lyceum Course. Their perfection of technic, remarkable blending of tone and musical attainments rank them first in artistic merit as an organization. One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 103 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY GEORGE STEPHENS IPSY stood in the middle of the road holding his broad straw hat in his hand, watching a horse and buggy disappear in a cloud of dust in the distance. Then he turned and climbed to the top of a high gate under the oaks by the roadside. Alone with his thoughts he sat with his freckled face buried in his hands, thinking of the work his guardian, Mr. Ross, had told him to do the next (cd The next day was the Fourth of July, and Mr. and Mrs. Ross had gone to town to stay a couple of days, leaving Gipsy in charge of the farm. He sat for some time listening to the hogs cracking acorns under the oaks, with now and then a satisfied grunt coming from them. The soft breeze blew his long red hair about his face. When the sun sank lower long shadows crept across the road and out in the meadow a lark sang its last song of the evening. Finally he was aware that tears were trickling down his face. Wiping them on the sleeve of his shirt he slipped hurriedly to the ground and followed a path to the grove by the spring. His homespun breeches dangled half way between his knees and bare feet as he walked along. He whistled to keep up his courage. When he came to the barnyard he was greeted by a friendly whinny from an old white mare that stood under a sagging cow shed. Gipsy had traded a bushel of small Irish potatoes and a gallon of molasses to a band of gypsies who had been passing through the country the fall before, for that old white mare. He was known as Gipsy ever since by the neighbor-hood boys. For the first time he lead the mare into the barn, for Mr. Ross had forbidden him to bring her there. He was to keep her under the cow shed and feed her on fodder. The protruding hip bones of the mare showed conclusively that fodder was not a very substantial food. Johnny Lucey, a neighbor boy, said " She looked more like a hat rack than a horse," and so saying he walked up and hung his hat on her hip bone where it hung until Gipsy, red with anger, grabbed it and threw it over the fence into the corn field. Gipsy led the mare right into a box stall, then brought a heaping bucket of oats and dumped them into the feed box. The mare stuck her nose into the oats, and lifting her head she looked at him thoughtfully. Then the boy climbed into the hay loft and filled the manger with hay. Jumping One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 104 ---------- down he went to the house and after glancing hastily around to see that everything was all right, he returned to the barn, patted the mare gently on the nose and climbed to the hay loft for the night. He lay awake for some time on the new mown hay and watched the full yellow moon climb into the sky. It reminded him of another night a long, long time ago when he lay awake on a little white bed near a window, while his mother walked the floor nervously. Finally three gun shots echoed in quick succession down the mountain side and a few minutes later his father plunged into the room, holding his hand to his bleeding heart. Next day he died and a few weeks later his mother died of a broken heart. The day had come for him to leave the mountains. When he was going around the last bend down the road he looked back at the large tree which he knew sheltered the graves of his mother and father. Now as he lay on the hay watching the moon he saw two little stars close together, twinkling. " One is mother and one is father," he whispered and dozed off to sleep. He arose early next morning and going to the smoke house he ate a hastily prepared breakfast of cold corn bread and milk. He looked wist-fully at the house where he knew there were lots of honey and good things to eat, but Mrs. Ross had taken what she wanted him to eat to the smoke house near the spring and had told him not to enter the house. After milking the cow he turned the mare into the large pasture among the blue grass and clover, took his hoe and started for the corn field on the hot hillside back of the house where 'Mr. Ross had told him to work. He hacked away at the tall weeds along a row of corn down to the other end of the field, then back. The sun was boiling hot and he felt the sweat trickling down his back. He sat down in the shade of a mulberry tree and watched a large chicken hawk go sailing lazily by toward the wood where it lighted on a dead snag. Finally the boy heard his name called. Getting upon a stump he saw Johnny Lucey and Skinny Fuller coming up the hill; each boy carried a fishing pole over his shoulder. " Whoope Oh, Gipsy," came the cry. Gipsy's laziness instantly disappeared and he ran down the hill to meet them. " Come on Gipsy," said Johnny. " Let's go fishing." " Oh, I reckon I can't nohow," drawled Gipsy. " Oh, yes ye can. Jest ye come ahead, an me an Skinny will hep ye all hoe corn tomorrow, an old man Ross won't know it nohow." After fifteen or twenty minutes' argument the boys persuaded Gipsy to go with them. Arriving at the turnpike Gipsy discovered he had no fish-hook. " Oh, take a pin," suggested Skinny. They searched their clothing but could not find a pin. " Oh, gee! I ain't goin' if I can't fish," exclaimed Gipsy. Suddenly a horse and buggy and two girls appeared from a bend down the road. "I have a scheme," said Johnny, tossing his fish pole to Gipsy, " jest ye watch your Uncle Jake," and he proceeded down the road walking lamely. Soon the horse and buggy drew up and the elder girl inquired why the boy was limping. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 105 ---------- Oh, I jest stuck a splinter in the bottom of my foot and I ain't got airy a pin to pick it out. The girl searched in her waist for a pin, then climbed to the ground with a sympathetic look. She handed the pin to Skinny who passed it to Johnny; she motioned for the boy to come nearer so she might help him. Suddenly the boys darted away down the road kicking up a cloud of dust as they went. The girls looked after th'em in surprise. The boys climbed a rail fence and struck out across a field toward the creek. " Oh, let's go wadin'! " said Skinny, " maybe we can find some soft-shell turtles over by the sand bar." " Let's do! " exclaimed Johnny. Gipsy followed willingly as they ran splashing down the shallow stream. At last they came to a deep hole by the cliff, sheltered by the dense foliage of the trees. Skinny ran out in the field and dug some worms with a stick. Then he and Johnny divided their lines with Gipsy, who tied the pin, which he had bent in the shape of a hook, to the string. After several hours of fishing, which netted Skinny one perch, Johnny two and Gipsy one sucker, they showed signs of discontent. Gipsy yawned and stretched then " accidently," on purpose, knocked the can of bait into the water. Skinny jumped to his feet and threw his perch after the can. " Go to thunder, bait and fish; come on, fellers, let's go down to old Mr. Brown's place and steal some muskmelons." " It ain't right to steal," returned Gipsy, quietly. " Oh, who's askin' ye to steal," demanded Johnny, " Jest ye watch your Uncle Jake." The boys crept cautiously down the creek toward the Brown farm, taking the lines from their poles as they went. Climbing the picket fence to the garden they sneaked along behind some blroom corn toward the muskmelon patch, whose vines they could see stretched over the ground with the much coveted fruit on them. As Skinny got hold of a big yellow one ready to snap it from the vine, they heard a voice nearby: " Well, well! boys, so you have come to call on an old man." Glancing around they saw an old man walking with a cane, emerge from the broom corn patch, his soft blue eyes smiling with friendliness. "I am so glad you have come," continued the old man, " very few people call on us now days and you must come right along over to the house. I know Mrs. Brown will be just as glad to see you as I am." Johnny looked at Skinny with almost a lump in his throat. "Just ye wait, Mr. Skin," he threatened in a loud whisper, "just ye wait. I'll fix ye, getting us to come here and get caught." " Let's run," advised Skinny. The old man had started for the house, chuckling to himself. He motioned for the boys to follow. Gipsy started after him, whispering back, " Come on, fellers, don't be afraid of an old man. Come ahead, Johnny, and tell him about your Uncle Jake." .Johnny and Skinny followed shyly. They found that Mrs. Brown was a little bundle of good nature who smiled and looked over her spectacles One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 106 ---------- at them. She seemed to take special interest in Gipsy and eyed his long baggy breeches with sympathy. She invited the boys to the front porch which was shaded by low spreading branches of a locust tree. Old Glory waved from an old flag pole and cast its shadow on the steps of the porch. They sat in some home made rockers with deep cushions in them. Mr. Brown sat opposite Gipsy and began telling them a story of his boyhood days. They could hear Mrs. Brown humming a hymn as she walked quietly about her work in the kitchen. After an interval she appeared at the door and announced dinner. The boys looked at each other sheepishly as they followed the two kind old people into the house. The table was spread with a snowy white cover and set for five. Gipsy was to sit between Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Johnny and Skinny on the opposite side. First Mrs. Brown brought out a large platter of fried chicken; then mashed potatoes, green peas, green onions, radishes and last of all muskmelons. The boys looked at each other shyly and as Johnny said afterwards, they thought the dreaded moment had arrived, but Mr. Brown's look was as indifferent as his voice and not a word was said or hinted at about stealing muskmelons. After dinner Mr. Brown took the boys through the lower part of the garden where he had planted some watermelons and gourds. Some of the gourds had vined up a big oak tree and hung down as if they had been placed there with care. Skinny was sent to the barn after a sack which Mr. Brown filled with muskmelons and small watermelons. Finally the boys departed for home, promising to call again soon. They lugged the sack up Clover Hill. Then they sat down to rest in the shade of a sycamore tree. For some time they remained silent, then Johnny began to cry. Skinny said nothing but swallowed several times and looked away at the blue mountains. A flock of noisy little birds flew by. Gipsy got to his feet and stammered out: " Oh, shoot, fellers, 'taint goin' to do no good nohow! " After talking over what they should do, they hid the melons in a fence corner among some goldenrod. Gipsy said good-bye to the boys and walked up the hill toward home. Johnny and Skinny went by a short cut through the woods. When Gipsy came to a moss covered log he sat down and soon he began to cry. He finally lay down among the tall grass and drifted leaves, looked up through the branches of the tall trees at the white drifting clouds and murmuring several times, "Oh, if she was only my mother! " Taking up his way again he came to the top of a hill where he could look down upon the Ross farm in the valley. The hush of the summer's evening settled down upon the valley. He could see several white chickens walking slowly toward the hencoop to roost, the tinkle of a cowbell echoed from the clover field and the rattle of a wagon came from down the turn-pike. He loped down the hill at an easy gait, and after milking the cow went to the clover field, climbed to the top of the rail fence and called to his old white mare. He whistled several times, then he got down and walked along the fence to a clump of blackberry bushes. He called again. After an interval a full moon appeared from behind old Thunder Mountain, One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 107 ---------- flashing its clear rays out over the valley, revealing a white object stretched out on the ground at a little distance from him. Gipsy smiled and whis-pered, " Sleeping." He crept slowly up but the mare did not move as he approached. In surprise he caught her mane and lifted her head, but it fell back heavily and a pair of white glassy eyes stared up toward the sky. An hour later when Mr. Brown and Judge Fields came to the Ross farm looking for Gipsy they found him sitting on a fence corner crying. When Gipsy saw them coming he howled louder than ever and pointed out to the mare and mumbled out between sobs, " She's dead, she's dead." The two men walked over to the mare. Gipsy heard them say that she had eaten too much. Mr. Brown walked back to Gipsy, picked him up and carried him to the road where he and the Judge had left the horse and buggy. That night in a little room with white walls and blue ceiling Gipsy lay awake listening to Mr. Brown and Judge Fields talking out in the sitting room. Finally he heard them make arrangements for him to stay with Mr. Brown. Gipsy cried - then he got out of bed and walked to the window and gazed out into the moonlit night. Way up toward the moon two tiny stars twinkled brightly, " Mother and father are happy, too," he whispered as he tiptoed back to bed. 3 wlatd AN INCIDENT THE GEORGE STEPHENS weeks had grown into months and the months into twenty years since the ill-fated ship ran on a sunken reef near the South Sea Islands. The only survivor, a tall, handsome Englishman, a perfect specimen of manhood, had at first looked upon his isolated life with indif-ference. Taking advantage of the wreckage, he built a rude but comfortable hut in a grove of tall palm trees at one end of the largest islands near where he had been washed ashore the day of the disaster. His health wore slowly away with the years and at the end of the nineteenth year he could no longer concentrate his mind upon his flock of tame tropical birds nor could he hunt cocoanuts and dates for any length of time without a sudden wild dash along the white, sandy beach in the boiling surf murmuring and screeching to himself. Occasionally a ship appeared far away on the horizon. The days came and went much the same. Now and then the solitude was broken by the shrill cry of a large parrot, or the deep, heavy breathing of the sea, or the wind as it moaned sadly through the palms to remind the man that he was alone. One night, the full, yellow moon rose lazily above the quiet blue sea. The man, with wild, hollow eyes sat on a little grassy knoll watching the approach of a large steamer. Now and then a faint yellow light gleamed from the ship. The man arose suddenly and followed a dim path down One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 108 ---------- the cliffs to the beach. He walked slowly along until he came to a large flat rock. He knelt and examined the rock carefully. He ran his long bony fingers through his matted hair. The name " Ellen " was carved on the rock, but was badly worn by the waves. He arose, his half-starved body shaking with hunger, and whispering to himself he stretched his long bony arms toward the moon. A big red and green parrot flew to his shoulder and cried out shrilly, " Ellen, Ellen, Ellen." The man slowly regained his mind. His whole past life flashed before him. He made a few wild leaps up the cliff to his hut. Grabbing some coals of fire, he ran to the edge of the cliff and with the aid of the tall, dry grass soon had a small blaze started. The ship was now passing nearby and faint sounds of music drifted in with the hot sea breeze. The man's mind left him as suddenly as it had returned and when the fire took a sudden leap upward, he jumped upon it and trampled it out with his bare feet. Then he dashed wildly down the dim trail, along the beach in the wake of the boiling surf, screeching and waving his arms above him. His flock of tame parrots answered from the palm grove. Enu in 1920 SECOND PRIZE STORY PEARL STOUGHTON WELL, it's leap year," announced Ted Carewe. " Un," grunted Jeremiah Pettigrew from the depths of a huge volume on " Organic Acids." To Jeremiah nothing was of any im-portance that did not pertain to chemistry. " Say, Jerry, aren't you afraid for your scalp? " flung in Jack Wells. On occasions the boys undertook to teach Jeremiah a few of the experiences of Normal college life but in vain. He clung obstinately to his ferrocynides and bicarbonates until the attempts of his friends had descended to mere joking. " What say?" he asked, now looking up suddenly through his round tortoise-shell glasses. " Why, it's leap year, man," cried Ted. " Leap year? " asked Jeremiah regarding a diagram interestedly. " You bloomin' blockhead! Don't you know that during leap year the ladies may propose to the gents? You must beware! " chortled Phil Hardy. " Ladies propose! " ejaculated Jerry with a scandalized look. " Sure," said Phil, winking at Ted. " You want to look out. I heard Bess Holden say just recently that you had such a romantic nose, she thought she'd try for you." Jeremiah recalled the dashing, brilliant Bess and shuddered. During all his studious life he had above all things avoided girls, but now - " They - they don't really. You're just guying me - " he wavered. " Indeed not," Jack assured him solemnly. " It's gospel truth. You One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 109 ---------- see you've never gone after the girls so they're going after you. I noticed Blanche Wilson watching you in class this morning. Now she's not a bad sort -" "Say, clear out of here. I've got to get this formula straight, right now! " he shouted in desperation. Contrary to all precedent the trio withdrew meekly. However, had Jeremiah's hearing been keen he might have heard the low murmuring that proceeded from Jack's room across the hall. "- - scare him stiff - girls'll never know - some joke on the old boy! I'll bet he'll beat it worse than ever! " " I say, let's get little Ann Mayo in ---- " came Phil's voice. " Nix," ordered Ted. The lecture next evening offered an opportunity for their nefarious scheme to be put in operation. " Say, Jerry, old man, will you do me a favor?" begged Phil in an undertone. " Um," grunted Jeremiah, not pausing in his note taking. " Harriet Franklin's here with her chum Blanche Wilson. Now you just see Blanche over to the hall -- come along with us you know, and I'll be your Aunt Isaac," coaxed the mischief maker. " Oh - I - - " began Jeremiah. " Thanks, old man. Awfully kind. I'll do something for you some day," broke in the rogue. "I say - I - " began Jerry again. " Sh - you're disturbing the speaker," whispered Ted as he admin-istered a sharp dig in his roommate's ribs. Jeremiah subsided, but his eyes, fixed on the speaker were terror-filled. Phil saw that Jeremiah had no chance for a private word before they joined the girls. Then he whispered, " Now with a little tact, you know, she can be kept from " Jeremiah strode along in silence beside the vivacious young lady. " Oh, Mr. Pettigrew, a penny for your thoughts," came Miss Wilson's insinuating tones. Jeremiah realized with a start that he was entirely alone with her. The others had dropped back. He stammered dismally. " I'll bet you were thinking about me," announced the young lady suddenly. What he said Jeremiah never knew. At all events it was entirely inadequate to the situation. " Isn't the moonlight romantic, Mr. Pettigrew? " she persisted. Jerry murmured something about never having noticed, " Doesn't the soft glow just make your heart quiver - " At this point Jeremiah lengthened his stride. He had noticed what had escaped his companion - the proximity of the hall steps. " Why, Mr. Pettigrew, how you walk! " she gasped. " Oh, yes- here we are - good night," he burst forth and with a nervous twitch of his hat he vanished, leaving Blanche overcome with One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 110 ---------- silent mirth. She was joined almost immediately by her co-conspirators and all three rocked with laughter. Poor Jeremiah did not rest well that night. His cheeks burned and quivers were running up and down his spine. What if he should meet her again? WVhat if -but here he fell asleep to dream of being pursued by a disheveled creature breathing smoke and flame. By afternoon of the next day he could think of other things for a half hour at a time. At last he betook himself to his beloved laboratory. Before long he was deep in an experiment - so deep that he did not observe the entrance of a small, thin, young lady who occupied the place next him. He was aroused by a quiet, persistent voice. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Pettigrew, but could you reach that bottle? Some one put it up high." Jeremiah started and turned a deep crimson. " Excuse me, Miss Smith," he murmured as he handed her the bottle. Julia Smith was a plain little woman devoted to organic chemistry and utterly guiltless of coquetry, but to Jeremiah she appeared to be a siren. He drew as far away from her as possible and stared blindly at his dish of bubbling grease. At length he gained control of himself sufficiently to reach for a tube of yellow stuff from the rack. " Mr. Pettigrew, will you " But she was interrupted by a loud sizzling and a cloud of smoke. Jeremiah's start had overturned a beaker into his dish of grease. Miss Smith's scream brought several people to the spot but Jeremiah had recovered his presence of mind and was wiping up the mess with a dilapidated towel. This procedure brought his right hand into view. " Oh! " cried Mliss Smith, " It's burned! " It was certainly burned and in spite of his protestations Jeremiah was sent to a doctor. The doctor pronounced the burn not serious and Jeremiah with an interesting bandage caught the car for home. Unable to write because of his burned hand Jeremiah found peace and quiet in his room. Just as life was becoming quite normal again Ted rushed in with the announcement that they both must attend a party at Morris Hall. In vain Jeremiah pleaded and rebelled; his roommate was obdurate and in the end he submitted. If ever there was a miserable man that man was Jeremiah Pettigrew as he entered the cosy living room at Morris Hall. Ted immediately found his way into the midst of a merry group and Jerry was left to his own devices. He found a quiet nook watching the young people before him and marveling at their fearlessness. At last his glance rested on a slim little miss in a fluffy white dress. She was standing not far from him watching the others with bright grey eyes and rosy parted lips. Jeremiah's gaze, however, was riveted on her hair. He had never seen anyone's hair so coppery in color and so curly. He felt a desire to catch one of the little rings that clustered around her face. As he watched, Ted approached the girl and with a laughing remark One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 111 ---------- drew her into the group before the fire. Jerry longed to join them but dared not. Some time later he was so near Ted and the red-haired miss that his roommate introduced him. "Ann Mayo, the name fits her," he thought. " Not half homely when he smiles," was Ann's mental comment. Jeremiah did not say much. That would have been impossible, but his eyes followed Ann wherever her bright head could be seen. It was a thoughtful Jerry that left Morris Hall that evening. He decided that after all leap year might not be such a bad affair. The next day as Jeremiah came down the library steps, reading as he walked, he became aware of someone just ahead of him. It was Ann Mayo. Flushing with embarrassment, he fell in step beside her, choking out a feeble " Good morning." Then he waited wondering what would she say. " crisp weather is the nicest for picnics." Jeremiah made an attempt to reply and drew a deep breath. Ann chatted with him from the library to the door of Morris Hall. When he left her Jeremiah felt that he had done a bold and hazardous deed. In this pleasing frame of mind he returned: home. When Ted came, he was overflowing with joy. There was to be a big concert in town tomorrow. Everyone would be going. He thought he'd ask - maybe Blanche Wilson - or, well - Ann Mayo. Suddenly a thought flashed into Jeremiah's mind. For a second he was too dazed by the idea to speak. Then with a burst of confidence he rushed to the telephone, leaving the exuberant Ted open-mouthed. Still boldly he gave the number of Morris Hall. While he waited for the answer all the terrors of his venture burst upon him, appalling him. He had just decided to hang up the receiver and flee when someone answered. Breath- lessly he asked for Ann Mayo. " Hello - hello - is this Miss Mayo? Yes - this is - well - yes - I am - that is -- I'm Jeremiah Pettigrew speaking. I - I heard - that is Ted - I mean I heard about the concert and I thought -- I wish - that is -- I hoped -- oh, well - will you go with me? Thanks - eight, then. All right. Good- bye." Trembling at his own audacity Jeremiah returned to his room. For the rest of the day he turned a deaf ear to the sallies of Ted and .Jack. Every time he thought of it he experienced a sinking sensation. He was so absorbed that he paid no heed when Ted came in growling because "Ann Mayo had other arrangements." He spent an unprecedented time getting ready the next evening and yet he never felt so awkward and unprepared as he did when he pre-sented himself at Morris Hall. Ann did not keep him waiting, and with an almost enjoyable excite-ment he strode along beside her. His face burned and his heart pounded. Ann chatted gaily on a hundred and one topics but one person cannot make a conversation. Ann found it so and after a time she, too, grew silent. To Jeremiah the silence was awful and he made one or two valiant attempts to entertain her. By the time they reached the theater Jeremiah One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 112 ---------- was watching one loose red curl and wondering how it would feel to be so short. Ann was stealing side glances at her companion, noting the firm mold of his chin and the dreamy light in the eyes behind the round glasses. The concert may have been a success, but neither Ann nor Jeremiah heard much of it. Each was considering the long silent walk home. It was as bad as they had feared. Ann walked along in silence and Jeremiah had not the courage to utter a word. The girls at Morris Hall looked very mysterious when Ann entered, but her preoccupied air gave them no excuse to unburden themselves. Jeremiah undertook to devote himself to his chemistry, but the beloved subject had lost its charm. He found himself seeing Ann's face on the page before him; the silvery ring of one bottle against another suggested her laugh; the glowing fluid in his test tube was just the color of her hair; the eddy and whirl of the ascending gases was like the wave of her hair. He even noticed little Miss Smith was just Ann's height. At last he went to the telephone and called her. With a vast amount of embarrassment he managed to make her understand that he would like to call. Could he have seen the half amused, half tender light in her grey eyes as she listened to his halting words! With great nervousness he dressed and fled from Ted's questions. As he neared Morris Hall his feet lagged. Once he paused and almost turned, but he overcame the impulse and ascended the hall steps. He rang the bell and was ushered into the hall by a wise looking little person who went after Ann. Jeremiah suffered tourtures before the girl appeared. Perhaps something of it was in his face - certainly Ann saw something there that made her very kind to the frightened young man. Jeremiah was, as ever, tongue-tied. He was quite content to sit and watch the curl of Ann's hair, the sparkle of her eyes. He felt no need of words. The girl fidgetted at his silence until the humor of it struck her, flashing a dimple into view in one cheek. " Do it again," he said involuntarily. " What?" she cried in amazement. " Oh - no - nothing," he stammered, a deep crimson flaming in his cheek. " I -- I must be going. He arose abruptly and departed forthwith, leaving Ann to laugh softly as she ascended the stairs. " Oh, Ann," cried Blanche Wilson, with a teasing inflection. " Oh, Ann," echoed several others, with much laughter. " What is it? " she asked quickly. " Oh - Ann - did - did you - oh - I shall die - " choked Blanche doubling with mirth. " Have you anything to say? If so, get it out of your system quickly," advised the girl coolly. The other girls joined in the laughter until weak and wet-eyed they leaned against the wall. " Did - did you propose to dear Professor Jeremiah? " giggled Blanche at last. " Not that I know of - why?" One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 113 ---------- Dear me! I must tell you the joke. You know Ted Carewe - he told me. The boys stuffed Mr. Pettigrew with a big tale about girls proposing and leap year until Jeremiah was scared stiff! Oh - I shall die - when I think of it! He's expecting the girls to propose. You should do your duty when he gives you the chance. "I think you and Ted Carewe have been in big business. I think Mr. Pettigrew is the truest gentleman here - and Ted, the silliest puppy. You might both of you spend a little time learning common decency from him," cried Ann with blazing eyes. With this she flung herself into her room and slammed the door upon a group of very surprised young ladies. The sudden spell of cold weather that fell on the little town in no wise cooled Jeremiah's heated brain. He grew more absent-minded than ever. He nearly blinded himself in the laboratory and generally disgraced himself. Whatever ailed him he could not tell. In the midst of a most absorbing lecture he would be staring straight before him, his pencil twirl-ing uselessly in his fingers. Ann he did not see. Whatever she was doing she succeeded in keeping out of his sight. About a week after his call upon Ann he came home to find Ted in a great state of excitement. He was getting up a skating party for the next afternoon and Jerry must go. Jeremiah pleaded a headache and every other excuse, but in vain. The next afternoon saw him well and warmly clothed plodding along in the rear of a party of students bound for Lake Mary. Quite despond-ently he trudged along, dangling his skates, until he heard above the clatter and laughter a voice that sent a thrill through him. With startled intent-ness, like one frightened out of a sound sleep, he straightened and surveyed his companions. He saw her far in the lead, a small conspicuous figure in her brown suit. From that moment he began to notice what was hap-pening around him. When Ann's partner left her for a moment at the edge of the lake Jeremiah awkwardly stepped up and offered to put on her skates. Ann consented with faintly flushed cheeks, conscious of the impish glance of Blanche Wilson. With a great deal of fumbling and awkwardness he finally strapped them on and, rising, held out his hands. Ann accepted silently and the pair swung out onto the lake quite unmindful of the wrathful amazement of Ted and the amusement of Blanche. Jeremiah was a good skater and Ann loved the sport. No happier couple swung across the ice that chilly afternoon, although there was many a noisier pair. As they glided he observed how the wind drove the rich red to her cheeks and loosened sundry glowing curls. Ann was noticing the easy, tireless stride, the quiet mastery with which he guided her. So absorbed was each that they did not see the little inlet which they were approaching until it yawned before them. " Oh! " she screamed - but too late. There was a great splash! a sudden cold shock - and Jeremiah found himself in the icy water. He made a motion to swim when he fel tsomething One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 114 ---------- beneath. He straightened and stood upright on the bottom of the creek. He reached for the bit of brown and caught Ann's dress. He slid his arm about her and held her for a second. " Stand up - the bottom is just down there," he said. But the water reached to his shoulder and Ann was shorter than that. She could not touch the sand and clung to him pitifully. Then Jeremiah proved that he was a man as well as a genius. He gathered her into his arms and waded shoreward. " Let me down now," she begged, as they drew in closer. Jeremiah's answer was not in words, but it was very plain to Ann. Several couples had heard Ann's scream and had seen the accident from a distance, but so quickly had it all occurred that they arrived at the spot just in time to behold the bedraggled young man openly clasp the dripping young woman in his arms and express himself in several moist smacks. " Heaven help us! " ejaculated Ted, pulling off his coat to wrap Ann. What - what's happened! " Half an hour later in the big kitchen of a nearby farmhouse Ann, clad in a dress far too large for her, came shyly forth to greet Jeremiah, arrayed in garments several sizes too small for him. " Come on, Blanche. We're not needed," cried Ted, shoving the other occupants out of the room. Some time later Jeremiah ventured a gentle observation: " We - we - we're engaged, aren't we? " One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 115 ---------- yi Mountain 0tream FIRST PRIZE POEM ANNA ERICKSON Are you fleeing from unknown danger Or rushing to new delights, My mountain stream, rushing, rushing, Through the days and through the nights?

One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 116 ---------- FIRST PRIZE ESSAY LETHA S. DuCOMMUN I XVAS lost. I gazed helplessly around, but no one came. In front of me were ridges of hills, trees and thick underbrush. Night was fast falling, the sky became blacker and small drops of rain pattered down on the ground beside me. I called out once, then again, but all I heard was the echo. In my heart, I knew I must find the answer to that echo, and it was not to be solved by gazing at the already black sky, or wondering if some-one would come. I must go ahead. So half walking, and half stumbling, I made my way over the first hill. The briars cut me but still I went on. By this time, the rain came in torrents and I stumbled and fell, but at last all out of breath, I reached the next hill. What was that? A light! I knew that light was the answer to my echo, but that answer could be obtained only in one way, by continued effort and hard work. My face was dirty, and my clothes were torn by the cruel briars, when at last I reached the gate of the farm house, the light of which had guided and helped me on. But to my dismay, I was met by a large dog which growled, broke the slender rope which bound him, and jumped at me. Imagine if you can my relief when a pleasant voice said, " Down, Rover, down," and then, " Come in, stranger, and make yourself at home." The warmth of the fireplace and the kindly atmosphere of home were like a healing benediction to my wounded and bedraggled spirits. Truly it was the answer to my echo. How many have stood alone, lost on the hills of knowledge, and calling out have received the echo, but have not, as yet, secured its answer? The answer is there, but each one must find it for himself. We are all receiving echoes every day. When the war came we waited for a long time calling out, receiving the echo but letting its answer wait. It was not until we sent our boys ahead with effort and hard work that the answer came. Today, you and I are standing not on a hill, but on the mountain of knowledge. The children who need us have given the echo, for there is such a dearth in the ranks that we must find that answer although it does mean hard work and low salaries. At first we do not wish to face it - we call out -we hear just the echo; somehow, somewhere ahead is the light, the answer to our echo. For our country and for the future citizens, you and I must find that answer and count not the cost. One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 117 ---------- What of omorrno? SECOND PRIZE ESSAY HERBERT HANSEN HE everlasting question, "What of tomorrow? " is one that through-out all ages has been puzzling mankind and to which many have essayed an answer. One thing is certain, mortal man is not endowed with the power of prophecy, but it is equally certain that coming events cast their shadows before them, so that mankind, through a careful and candid consideration of the past and present can to a large extent answer the time-old question and foretell what the future has in store for them. America today is at the dawn of a great tomorrow. The most gigantic struggle in the annals of time has just ceased and the world has not yet recovered from the shock thereof. Reconstruction is progressing slowly and meanwhile millions impatiently are peering ahead and wondering what tomorrow holds in store for them. Will it be a day of honor and glorious splendor, or will it prove a disappointment - a blot to mar our national history? Momentous times are there, and great, indeed, are the problems which face our leaders. Foremost in our mind arises the question, what has America gained from the war? What have we to show in return for the billions of dollars we spent, and the thousands of lives that were sacrificed? What were the benefits of the war and what do they tell of tomorrow? Before the war Germany dominated the field of chemistry. Undis-puted her scientists reigned in their laboratories, concocting all manner of infernal devices - also their far-famed dyes. Every novelty or souvenir we purchased must bear the unescapable mark of Germany. But the war has changed all this. No longer is America dependent upon Germany, for no sooner had the war shut off our supply of dyestuffs, than American chemists turned their dyes upon the market. Not works of beauty, to be sure, but the war did start us in this line of manufacture which is a benefit for which we should be devoutly thankful. Commercially, a great tomorrow awaits America. Considering our geographical position, it is but logical to assume that the bulk of South American trade should be in our hands. Before the war, through our neglect, we allowed the enterprising German salesmen to snatch this from beneath our very eyes. Now that the war is over Germany is already pre-paring for the commercial battle. Shall we of America sit idly by and allow this fruit of victory to be snatched from our hands? What does tomorrow hold in store for us? Shall we arise and maintain our commer-cial supremacy, or sink into oblivion? Assuredly the promise of tomorrow is a bright one if we but grasp it. But South America is not the only field that beckons for American products. India, China and Japan are joining the ranks of civilized nations and crying for manufactured articles. But at that Japan is not so much a field for trade as a commercial rival. While Europe has been devastated by war and the industries of the United States turned into martial activities, One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 118 ---------- Japan has not been idle. While the nations of the world that previously led in mercantile activities have remained stationary, Japan has progressed, and now the dawn of her tomorrow is a rosy one. Whether the so-called "yellow peril" constitutes a serious menace or not, is another and a lengthy question, but at this time it is a self-evident fact that if America does not beware, Japan will sweep down with her now powerful merchant marine and lick up the cream of the trade with other awakening Oriental countries. Press dispatches from all sources at this time indicate that Japan's expansion in foreign trade is regarded as general. At present Japan has the advantage due to the slow progress of reconstruction, but whether she shall permanently retain it or not is a vital question upon which depends much of the glory of our tomorrow. Another of the fields of trade mentioned above was India. Most of India's 315,000,000 obtain their living through agriculture. Primitize methods were employed until recently but now the demands for American manufactured products is unsatisfied and the possibility for trade with India is limited only by our initiative. It is unnecessary to say more con-cerning the trade prospects of America for the future. The dawn betokens a bright tomorrow for commercial America. There are, however, other vital questions demanding solution. Para-mount among these is the peace treaty and the League of Nations. Undeniably the ideals of those advocating the League of Nations are high and noble. War is always detrimental and any means that would abolish it should be worthy of consideration. Whether the prophecies of League advocates come true and war is forever Wiped from the face of the earth remains to be seen, but as was said before, no man is a prophet, and the lessons of yesterday and today do not speak well for the peace league of tomorrow. The experiences of the immediate past do not indicate that human agencies as yet can remove war from the world. If the linking of the United States with the nations of Europe would promise well for our tomorrow is one of the questions over which our statesmen are pon-dering today. As yet the opening question, " What of tomorrow?" remains un-answered, but as a glorious sunset foretells a glorious dawn, so does today foretell a bright tomorrow.

Right now, perhaps, there isn't any money profit in car-rying his checking account. But some day, as that account grows, and as the owner grows with it, the bank will be repaid for having counseled the young man, and co-operated with him in his business success. So, this bank invites the young business man or woman who wishes to grow. We have seen many a small account grow into a large one, and have earned the thanks for help-ful service cheerfully rendered at all times. We want your account. But, what is more, we want you as a growing business man or woman to associate your-self with this bank.
