We dedicate this Viking edition to Siegfried - the originator of that first Viking spirit-who has passed that spirit to us to be upheld - and surpassed - ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page [vi] ---------- There was a dwelling of kings ere the world was waxen old; Dukes were the door-wards there, and the roofs were thatched with gold; Earls were the wrights that wrought it, and silver nailed its doors; Earls' wives were the weaving women, queen's daughters strewed its floors, And the masters of its song-craft were the might-iest men that cast The sails of the storm of battle adown in the bickering blast. There dwelt men merry-hearted, and in hope ex-ceeding great Met the good days and the evil as they went the way of fates.

Tradition lies within her walls, where eager Youth Has fingered pages, studied, learned to share Another's woes; and, striving thus for all Life's truth Has left a bit of priceless beauty there. Our shaded campus walks, our well-loved velvet knoll- So many other hearts have loved them too, And though their names no longer answer to the roll We feel the peace that all those others knew. And we-on moonlight nights when forms in silhouette, Pace silvered walks; we know, though smiles turn tears, An echoed laugh, a touch, a smile we can't forget, Will linger in our hearts throughout the years.

H. Fisher President's Message This is the thirty-second year of the history of our school. Starting in a small way in 1899, the school has gradually expanded in buildings, equipment, students, faculty, and the quality of its work, until today it occupies a position of distinction among similar schools, not only on the Pacific coast but throughout the country. A capable, devoted, and friendly body of students and faculty sharing life together on a high plane of idealism are the embodiment of the purpose of the school. The many stu-dents who have gone out from the school to serve society, chiefly through teaching in the public schools, are the finest expression of the achieve-ments of the school. May this book, packed with beautiful memories of school life shared together, be an inspiration to all students, who join the long caravan of those who have gone before; to achieve, in the name of the idealism and the purpose of the school that they represent. C. H. FISHER Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 16 ---------- Dean Marquis Dean Bever Dean Jones Deans To the three Deans must go much of the credit for the pleasant asso-ciations which Bellingham Normal students have during their school life. Upon them depend many of the adjustments which students must make with their school environment. The three administrative officers are James Bever, dean of the school; Adele M. Jones, dean of women; and W. J. Marquis, dean of men. Difficulties arising from the arrangement of courses or the satisfac-tory completion of one of the curricula are adjusted in the office of the Dean of the school. To Dean Bever students may go with problems arising from their courses. Particularly helpful to the women students is the friendly counsel of Adele Jones, dean of women. In her the students have a friend of mature judgment and experience, who is ever willing to advise them on personal or school matters. Regulation of social functions also is taken care of by Miss Jones. W. J. Marquis handles the duties of adviser to the men of the school with unusual tact and skill. A deep insight into student psychology and an intimate acquaintance with the problems of school life make his counsel of extraordinary value to students. Through him, the problems of the men of the school are settled with unusual success. ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 17 ---------- Swanson Banner Fitcha Brigham Hughes Holland Buchanan O'Malley Tremain Bouck CHARLOTTE BRIGHAM Sec.

This group consists of students who have attended school longer than the two year requirement. Its organization is a means of bringing together these upper-division students in the same way as the Freshmen and Sophomores of the school are organized. Although this class is still somewhat small, in comparison with the others in the school, it has an opportunity of becoming very active and much larger with the new membership which will be added by the longer attendance requirements.

During the fall quarter a dance was built around the Oriental motif, with clever decorations de-signed by John James. The Freshman class united with the Sophomores in a joint picnic late in the spring quarter. With Colin Campbell, a freshman, as the newly selected student body president, members of the freshman class are anticipating an even more successful year when they fill the places left vacant by the outgoing Sophomores.

Sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 63 ---------- The Northwest Viking was founded in 1900 under the name of the "Weekly Messenger." Since this early first appearance, it has been stead-ily improving, and especially in the last few years it has been winning a name for itself nationally. In the recent Columbia Press Association contest for the Normal and small college papers, the Northwest Viking, which is a member of this association, won first place ranking. Out of a possible one hundred points, the Viking scored eighty-three. The fall quarter editions were scored. The present editor, Bob Walters, was serving his initial quarter at this time and deserves much credit for his splendid work. Gordon W. Leen was serving his fourth and final quarter as business and advertising manager on the issues that were sent east. The score in this field was comparatively high and worthy of comment. In the section dealing with make-up and general appearance twenty-five credits were given. Out of these, the Viking was allowed eighteen. The Viking was awarded all but five points on news content. The three highest grades came from the use of good English, avoidance of sport slang, and the representation of varied activities in the columns. The editorial column rated well, receiving fourteen out of the fifteen point limit. The fact that the editorials dealt with specific situations, were related to news columns, and were constructive, made this judg-ment possible. The final scoring was on the basis of whether it gave a good im-pression of the school and performed the function of a school paper. In the division of the contest which Bellingham State Normal entered, there were approximately three hundred and fifty other schools. GETTING THE VIKING READY FOR PRESS Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 64 ---------- Publications PINK PISTOL This year for the first time, Bellingham Normal had a pub-lication which was in the class of college humor magazines-the Pink Pistol. It contained twenty-eight pages and twen-ty- two separate features-hu-morous short stories, plays, poems, and jokes, written by Normalites. It was published with the permission of the Board of Control, by Arden Ben-thein, Vernon V. Vine, and Stanley Hoveland, and much praise is to be given to these editors for making the maga-zine a success. Mr. James Car-rell was faculty adviser. FOOTBALL PROGRAM At the annual Homecoming game of October 25, very clever football programs were sold in assembly, in the main hall, and at the game, for souvenirs of the yearly tilt between Bellingham and Cheney. The booklet was shaped like a football. The four traditional colors of the two schools were used on the cover, and the pictures of the captains of the teams were worked into the cover in a novel way. Fol-lowing this blend of school pa-triotism, the reader was taken through thirty pages of engrav-ings of every member of the teams and their coaches, statis-tics, history and scores of past games, score cards and lineups. The Board of Control spon-sors this booklet, and lets the contract to students. Charles Gerold held the contract this year, and deserves much credit for the work he did. Sixty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 65 ---------- Publications BLUE BOOK The Blue book is one of the publications which is part of the Normal student's necessary equipment. It is a handbook, containing information on prac-tically every subject that would come under the head of a Nor-mal school, from Faculty through the Students' Associa-tion, down to songs and yells. Its information is of value to everyone throughout the year. These books are prepared under student direction and at student expense, and are distributed free at the beginning of Fall quarter by the Student's Association. SELF-STARTER The "Self-Starter" is a book-let published by the Standards Committee of the Women's League and is distributed to the entering women each fall. It is to the women what the Blue Book is to the entire school. It tells about the League, gives suggested wardrobes and ex-pense accounts, lists and ex-plains the house rules for orga-nized houses, and lists various social activities. In general, it is an excellent means for help-ing the new girls to become ac-quainted with Normal life. DIRECTORY The Student and Faculty Di-rectory is both a convenience and a necessity to every Nor-malite. It is a complete list of both faculty and students, giv- ing their respective addresses and telephone numbers. These directories were distributed free of charge in the bookstore at the beginning of Fall quarter. Sixty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 66 ---------- Informals OUTSIDE INFORMALS The first Women's League Informal of the year for Outside Girls was given November 8, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Ho-tel Leopold. The pirate scheme of decoration was featured. The Outside Girls' Winter In-formal was in the form of a Cin-derella Ball, and was given in the Crystal Ballroom of the Ho-tel Leopold. A special feature in decorations was a huge Cinder-ella clock which chimed at reg-ular intervals. INSIDE INFORMAL "A glowing affair in a frigid setting" was a phrase used to describe the Inside Girls' Infor-mal which was given in Eden's Hall Blue Room, December 6. In keeping with its name of "Frosty Frolic," the room was decorated by icy and snowy Christmas trees and evergreen boughs and Eskimo furs and dogsleds, while pineapple sher-bert was served from within a great white igloo. MEN'S CLUB INFORMAL The only Men's Club dance of this year was given February 7, in the Crystal Ballroom. Music was supplied by Sam Rathman's "Varsity Vagabonds." W CLUB INFORMAL The Men's "W" Club Informal of November 21, in the Crystal Ballroom, took the place of the Men's Club Fall Informal, and was one of the most successful functions held throughout the year. Football idea predominat-ed in programs and intermis-sion novelties. Music was fur-nished by Sam Rathman. Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 67 ---------- Socials FROSH PARTIES The first Freshman dance was given November 15, in the large gymnasium, and was ul-tra- modern in every detail. "Fu-turistic Frolic" was the central idea, with decorations and col-ored lights to lend "futurism" to the occasion. "Oriental Dance" sponsored by the Freshman class Febru-ary 6, was very clever and col-orful. A glistening "Buddha" in the midst of Japanese lanterns, cherry trees, weeping willows, and fragrant Chinese incense furnished the atmosphere. SOPHOMORE PARTIES The Sophomore class Fall party was given November 1. The party was in the form of a masquerade ball, using the gyp-sy idea-everyone attired in some form or suggestion of gyp-sy dress, and the gym was deco-rated with maple leaves, carry-ing out the idea of Autumn. With the Valentine idea pre-dominating, the Sophomores held their second dance party in the large gymnasium Febru-ary 14. The program and artis-tic decorations were the work of Earl Hutchins, general chairman. MIXERS Various mixers have been held throughout the year on the average of once a quarter, and the whole school gathers in the Big Gym for two hours of danc-ing in the evening. It is held for the purpose of introducing new students to old students and fac-ulty members. Sixty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 68 ---------- CAST FOR "TIlE PIGEON" The Pigeon John Galsworthy's most distinguished comedy, "The Pigeon," was the summer presentation of the Drama Club. With vivid symbolism, Gals-worthy brings upon the stage three derelicts: Ferrand, a young French vagabond; Timson, a besotted old cockney cab driver; Megan, a little flower girl of the city streets. What shall society do with these? The an-swer is suggested by Wellwyn, an artist; Sir Thomas Horton, a justice; Canon Bertley, a clergyman, and Professor Calloway, a social scientist. The story is a complete study of diverse personalities. For the first time in several quarters, Mr. V. H. Hoppe returned to the stage himself, as Wellwyn, around whom the play centers. Those who took part in the play are: CHRISTOPHER WELLWYN, an artist . . . ictor Hoppe ANN, his daughter Lou Griffin GUINEVERE MEGAN, a flower-seller . Mary MacDonald RORY -MEGAN, her husband Joe Harris FERRAND, an alien Charles Gerold TIMSON, once a cabman . . . . Charles Dewey EDWARD BERTLEY, a Canon John Rajala ALFRED CALLOWAY, a Professor .

"The pathetic case of a hen pecked husband" such is the theme of this modern Winter's Tale. The story happens all in one bitterly, cold winter evening from six until midnight. In this very short lapse of time many en- tertainingly humorous incidents occur in the Bumstead home. The drama is a study of matrimonial unhappiness and mismating tuned to the pitch of delightful character comedy. The local drama club secured one of the first amateur releases of this play. The members of the cast are as follows: JENNY BUMSTEAD MYRA BUMSTEAD MABEL BUMSTEAD ELAINE BUMSTEAD CYRUs BUMSTEAD BILL CLARK SAM GREEN REV. DR. STUMP A STRANGER QtUINN Florence Dofsen Maybelle Graham Filene Morrison Marion Bodiker John L. James Robert Wiedman Karl Decker Colin Campbell Albert Brown Conrad Bentzen Sirty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 70 ---------- CAST FOR "THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE" The Devil's Disciple The presentation of the "Devil's Disciple," a satire of the American revolution, was the first of George Bernard Shaw's plays to be given by the Normal Drama Club. Richard Dudgeon, the Devil's Disciple, revolts from the strict, puritanic ideals of his parents and as a result is consider-ed a wicked and godless individual. In this play the author carries no po-litical thesis, but is more interested in showing the psychology of charac-ter. The new settings, new lighting effects, costumes, together with much swift action and an involved plot made the play very interesting, while the manner in which it was produced was well up to the standards of the Drama Club's offerings. The historical characters were portrayed in a creditable manner by the following cast: MRs.

It is based on the theory of the relativity of time. The hero, Peter Standish, achieves a freedom which allows him to go in his own body back to the eighteenth century London, where, in the guise of his grandfather, he courts, Kate Pettigrew. Peter's strange remarks and his ability to read the future make everyone fear him, except Kate's younger sister, Helen, with whom he falls in love. Not finding the beauty, wit, elegance, and charm which he imagines ex-isted then, Peter returns to modern life, with an eternal memory of Hel-en's love.

The concerts are held under the auspices of the Bellingham Women's Music Club and the Normal School. They have been well supported during the season. The series was fittingly opened with the presentation of Corneluis Van Vliet, Dutch cello virtuosa. Mr. Van Vliet is favorably remembered by those who heard him when he appeared at an assembly last year. Cello soloists are rarities and Mr. Van Vliet is the first artist of this particular instrument ever to be presented in concert in Bellingham. He was ac-companied at the piano by Miss Edith R. Strange. At the following concert November 17, Ethel Bartlett and Rae Rob-ertson were presented in a recital of music for two pianos. The feeling for interpretation was such by these two artists that it sounded as though only one person was playing. Both artists have a splendid reputation in Europe and are making a name for themselves in the United States as piano recitalists. Marion Anderson, gifted young colored singer, was presented in con-cert, January 7. Miss Anderson is acclaimed as possessing one of the great contralto voices of our generation. It has enormous range and rich throaty timbre. Her varied program was well calculated to show the un-usual scope, the splendid flexibility, the power, and the rare beauty of her voice. Both diction and enunciation were admirable. Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 73 ---------- The celebrated lyric soprano, Claire Dux, appeared March 13, capti-vating her audience by the ease and skill with which she reached the high, difficult notes. The noted artist thoroughly delighted local music lovers with her unique art and charmingly obliged her listeners with sev-eral encores. She is of Polish nationality. Her debut was made at the Royal Opera in Berlin with Enrico Caruso. She has often sung for Euro-pean royalty and triumphed here in the United States with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. With Albert Spalding's appearance on the evening of April 9, the Musical Artists' Course closed for the season. This concert was a memor-able finale for the series. Spalding is acknowledged as one of America's great violinists. Accompanied by Andre Benoist, the violinist presented a varied program of classical selections. He displayed remarkably fine technique and ease of interpretation. Spalding's appearance here was received by a warm and enthusiastic audience. He is not only highly praised in America, but has a larger following in Europe than any other American artist. Assemblies Lectures, musical recitals, drama, and student body activities con-tributed to the wide variety of programs in the assemblies. The students of the Normal are fortunate in hearing many noted artists and lecturers within their own school through the efforts of the school officials to bring to them only those who are most worthwhile. Among the many musical programs, those especially deserving of mention are Ethel Leuning, gifted lyric soprano who has achieved wide-spread fame; Valeria Post, young operatic and concert soprano, who delighted her listeners by presenting "bits of opera" from various lands. The Neak- Kah-Nie String Quartet offered an outstanding performance. Three noted pianists, Katherine Bacon, Margaret Hamilton from New York, and Susie Michael, Western pianist, appeared in very commendable recitals during the year. A violinist of national fame, Viola Wasterlain, made a most favorable impression with her audience. In the group of lecturers came Stoddard King, poet and philosopher, who entertained his audience with rhymes that he, himself had written. William Finley as he presented "Wild Animal Outposts" was one of the most interesting, educational and unusual of assemblies enjoyed by the students this year. Muriel Draper, New York author and lecturer, spoke on "A New Philosophy for a New Age." Miss Draper, who showed a won-derful command of language, described as foolish much of today's psy-chology and scoffed at the cataloguing and cross-sectioning of so called artists. V. L. Granville, famous English actor gave a dramatic recital, "Dramatic Interludes," which was an unusual treat. Mr. Granville com-bines the facility of a quick change artist with genuine dramatic power. Aided by impressionistic lighting, he donned and divested himself of roles with ease. A series of lectures on music appreciation were conducted by Harold B. Smith, head of the music department, and were of value to the students in assisting them to appreciate the musical programs and concerts during the year. A number of one act plays presented in assembly by the Play Production Class were always popular with the student body. "The Christmas Story," given in tableaux and pantomime by the Normal Training Department was of much interest. The beautiful scenes and the Christmas songs gave the students the real significance of Christ-mas. Seventy-three ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 74 ---------- Extemporaneous Contest The purpose of the extemporaneous contest has been to encourage public speaking in the school and to aid the students to appreciate clear, interest-ing speaking. The extemporaneous con-tests originated in 1926-1927 and since that time have been a yearly event. Any student who so desires is eligible to en-ter the contest. He may choose his own subject from an approved list on which he prepares a five minute talk. In the preliminaries six speakers are selected who appear before the assembly. The two speakers ranking highest from this group have the right to compete with the two winners from each quarter in the finals at the end of the year. The winner of the finals has the honor of having his name engraved on the silver loving cup, of which he becomes cus- todian for the following year. Quentin Quick was judged winner of the final extemporaneous contest held last June 3. Helen Fitzwater and Louise Lilienthal tied for second place. Mr. Quick's topic was "The Hardest Job in the United States." Helen Fitzwater spoke on "This Modern Boredom" and Louise Lilienthal on "Let the Eagle Scream." Other contestants and their topics were: Eleanore Langworthy, "Cannon Fodder"; Charles Gerold, "Hysteria of War," and Bertha Altose, "Why Have Human Static?" Mr. Quick was the first man to re- Quentin Quick ceive this honor, the former winners all being women students. The winners of the cup for the preceding years were June Wetherell, 1927; Margaret Hill, 1928, and Joy Efteland, 1929. The extemporaneous contest has greatly stimulated public speaking in the school and the current topics help give a new viewpoint on prob-lems of national interest. This year the three preliminary contests have been eliminated and the finals will be held at the end of spring quarter. Seventy-four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 75 ---------- Debate The heaviest schedule ever attempt-ed by the Normal debaters was carried out during this year's debate season. Teams which were new on the Belling-ham schedule were Pacific University, Oregon State College and Linfield Col-lege. No tryouts were held this year, but the candidates were enrolled in a de-bate class which made them eligible for any inter-collegiate contest. This sys-tem, which is gaining favor throughout colleges and universities, eliminates the unsatisfactory aspect of the tryout sys-tem and substitutes a method by which the speaker may be judged over a pe-riod of time. Another innovation this year was the abandonment of the old type of debate and the substitution of the cross-exam-ination and no decision debates, this being the first time that the policy of cross- examination has been adopted. Another chief feature of this season's debate was the men's debate tour into Oregon, the first of its kind ever under-taken by the Normal teams. "Resolved that the United States should adopt a policy of free trade," was the question selected for debate by the Normal and by other colleges throughout the country. Those representing the Normal School in interscholastic debates were: Men's affirmative team, James Butler, Roger Reed, and Charles Gerold; Men's Butler Stephens negative team, Quentin Quick and Or- hom pson Quick Reid Taylor vin Ryan; Women's affirmative team, Wessler Gerold Bessie Taylor, Marie Wessler, and Ma- Carrell Langworthy rion Stephens; Women's negative team, Eleanore Langworthy, Esther Schindler, and Lois Thompson. The following schools were debated by the men's teams: College of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran College, University of Washington fresh-men, Centralia Junior College, Oregon State College, Linfield College. The women's teams debated: College of Puget Sound, Washington State College, Pacific Lutheran College, University of Washington, and Centralia Junior College.

It has been the custom for a number of years for the Women's League to present to the organized houses a banner of achievement for the best record obtained in scholarhip and a banner for accomplishment. In the Fall Quarter the scholarship banner was award-ed to Moutz's House and the accomplishment banner was presented to Barrett's House. In the Winter Quarter the scholarship banner was pre-sented to Barrett's House and again McCullum's House received the accomplishment banner. These awards tend to keep a higher standing in scholarly achievement in the various organized houses which is a benefit to the school at large.

In the rural and city systems teachers are subsidized to direct student teachers and supervisors are maintained. During the fall, winter and spring quarters from one hundred and twenty to one hun-dred and fifty students taught in the city schools in addition to fifty who taught in the rural schools, receiving valuable experience in meeting the problems of actual situations, such as they will find in the schools where they secure positions. Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 96 ---------- KNIGHTHOOD-A SIXTH GRADE ASSEMBLY FOURTH GRADE WORK PERIOD Specialists in technique prepare students for their work, while well trained teachers and supervisors direct student instructors as well as the children in the classroom. Free texts and an ample amount of supple-mentary reading and the necessary schoolroom furnishings are supplied. A children's reading room, equipped with reference books in connection with the circulation library, afford an opportunity for a background of reading. The Normal School departments of music, art, science, health, industrial arts, physical education and home economics are at the service of the Training School. For example, the art department gives the chil-dren artistic instruction. The other departments also co-operate in a like manner, making the elementary school the co-ordinating center for the theory and practice of all of the so-called "special subjects." N inety-six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 97 ---------- THIRD GRADE WOOL STUDY MODEL AIRPLANE BUILDERS Aside from the regular schedule, projects are worked out in the dif-ferent divisions. This year the kindergarten had as one of its projects the care of gardens in a plot adjacent to the building. Enough flowers have been planted by the children to supply the whole training school with flowers in the fall. Teas were held during the year by pupils of the upper division. A silver tea, given by the Service Club of the eighth grade, raised money for the Red Cross fund. A Chinese tea given by the seventh grade came as a conclusion to their study of China. The children were in costume and Chinese atmosphere was created throughout. The mothers and stu-dent teachers were guests at the tea. Ninety-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 98 ---------- ELBONITA GARDEN STUDY KINDERGARTEN WORK PERIOD Every Friday, the elementary school assembly is held, each grade taking its turn at presenting a program. These programs, which accus-tom the pupils to appearing on the stage and to expressing themselves before an audience, are an outgrowth of classroom work. An assembly, in the seventh grade representing the countries of the world through cos-tumes, folk songs and dances and a flag decorated stage, is an example of the type of thing being done. The Hour of Song provides the program for one of the spring assem-blies, in which the children of the entire training school sing the songs which they have learned during the year. It is a climax to the work done by the music department. Ninety-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 99 ---------- TEN MILE SCHOOL SIXTH GRADE TUMBLING CLASS In the Junior Viking, the training school paper, which is published twice yearly, compositions, poems, essays and stories which members of the Training School have written are printed. Activities in which they have engaged are written and published in it. The children look for-ward to its publication and work with interest to have their literary efforts published. As a culmination of the work done in physical education, comes Play Day, truly the elementary school's day of play. This year the stu-dents of the rural schools were invited to join the children of the train-ing school.

Coach Gunn Coaching Staff The success of any athletic team depends to a great extent upon the coaching staff. A tremendous responsibility is placed upon the staff, whose function is to guide the athletic interests of the school. The Bel-lingham Normal School may well be proud of the two men heading its athletic department. Coach Sam E. Carver directs activities on the football field, basket-ball floor, track and tennis courts. A clever coach, Mr. Carver has worked with men and athletics his entire life. Attending the University of Oregon, California and making a special study of coaching at Leland Stanford University, the Viking mentor is well versed in the art of phy-sical education. Royal E. Gunn, his assistant and head baseball coach, is also an able leader and coach. He is efficient in securing the unanimous co-operation of the men striving with him to develop teams representative of the school. He has had much experience in athletics, and both he and Coach Carver have produced many championship teams during the period of their leadership of competitive athletics at the Normal school.

Flowers, Shelton, Wilder and Iver-son were the experienced backs and Voris, Quick and Moe completed the list as linemen. Other cogs in Coach Carver's ma-chine, who saw regular action dur-ing the season were: Burich, Eac-rett, Swanson, and Brinkman in the backfield; and Blanton, McNeil, Hopkins, Falkner, Sutton, Abbott, Thompson and Campbell. Viking vs. Coast Guard Staging a brilliant rally late in the second half of the game, Coach Sam Carver's 1930 football team dropped its first opponent of the year, the Port Townsend Coast Guard, 14-6. Captain Wilder Quick Flowers One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 103 ---------- Rated as the underdogs, the Navy held the Vikings scoreless the first period. In the second period the Vik-ing team, befuddled by the ground-gaining smashes of Allerdice and Cable, Navy backs, was caught nap-ping near its goal-line when Aller-dice completed the ancient blanket pass to Frodle for a touchdown. The Coast Guard led 6-0 at the half time. Opening the second half the Vik-ings began to fathom the offensive tactics of the Guardsmen and stopped dead any attempts in that direction. Late in the second period Shelton, Normal back, intercepted a pass and advanced to mid-field. Then followed a march down the field that did not terminate until Burich slipped over for a touchdown and then converted to place the Vikings in the lead. The Carverites did not score again until but a few seconds of the game remained when Flowers, star half of the Viking team, crossed the Navy line for a touchdown. Shelton con-verted, ending the scoring for the day at 14-6, and giving the Vikings a victory in their initial game of the season. Vikings vs. Oregon State Normal Playing their first game in a light-ed stadium, the Bellingham Vikings dropped their second start of the sea-son to the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth, 26-0. Oregon staged an effective offense, well seasoned with trick plays which entirely baffled the Vikings during the first half. Early in the game Brinkman McNeill Shelton One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 104 ---------- Monmouth pulled a sneak play which resulted in a touchdown. This start-ed the fireworks for the Oregon team and it scored repeatedly during the first and second quarters. Each touchdown came as the direct result of a spin or other deceptive play. The half ended 20-0 for the Oregonians. As in the Navy game the week be-fore, the Vikings were unable to hit their stride until the second half. The Normal team was scored upon but once during the second half, the touchdown coming as the result of a blocked Washington kick. Besides holding its tricky opponents to six points, the Viking offensive machine wrecked havoc with the Oregon de-fense in the third and last quarters. Headed by Flowers and Iverson, the Vikings advanced no less than three times within the ten yard marker, but lacked the necessary punch to score. Vikings vs. St. Martins A strong, heavy team coupled with a smooth working Notre Dame of-fense spelled defeat for the Vikings, 13-2, when they tackled St. Martins College on Waldo field. Although outweighed and out-classed in nearly every department of the game, the Vikings offered a stubborn resistance and threatened to score on the heavy, fast Rangers several times. Using the Notre Dame shift to per-fection, the Laceyites circled the Blue and White end for touchdowns in the second and third quarters. Im- Moe Iverson Thompson One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 105 ---------- hoff and Johannes looked very good for the visitors. Early in the last quarter Burich and Flowers, Viking backs, advanced the ball to the visitor's two yard line. The Rangers held for downs and on the next play their punt was blocked behind the goal-line, giving the Car-verites two points and their only score of the day. Before the fray ended the Vikings had valiantly marched half the length of the field to within their opponent's ten yard line and marked themselves as one of the scrappiest, gamest teams that ever donned the moleskins for the Bellingham Nor-mal. Vikings vs. Cheney Caught off their guard by a fast breaking criss-cross, the Vikings were administered a 19 to 0 defeat by Cheney on Waldo field in the eighth annual football game between the two schools. The game was the main attraction of the Homecoming program. In the opening quarter the Vik-ings took the ball after holding Cheney for downs on the five yard line. A poor kick by Bellingham and two neatly executed passes brought the Savages their first score. Morgan, the stellar back for the Savages, broke away for an end run to the Vikings four yard line, and on the next play toted the ball over for the second score. By making the ex-tra point, Cheney led the Vikings 1.3-0 in the first quarter. Sutton Burich Abbott One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 106 ---------- Cheney's final touchdown was made in the last period through a nice combination of power and trick plays. This evened the series between the two schools, each having won four games. Vikings vs. Centralia Junior College Entering the game with a deter-mined spirit and breaking open a new bag of tricks, the Vikings wal-loped a fighting band of gridsters from the Centralia Junior College, 20-7. The game produced the flash-iest football the Vikings have played this season. Both teams used a snappy style of game which featured trick passes long punts and some brilliant run-ning, making the game more of a duel than the score indicated. Coach Carver's machine did to Centralia what Cheney did to the Vikings the week before-ran up two touchdowns in the first half to estab-lish a lead which could not be broken down. Early in the second quarter, by means of end runs and flashy line plunges, Iverson and Flowers carried the ball to the five yard line. On the next play, Captain Wilder smashed through for the first score. In the same quarter, Flowers broke through along the sidelines and dashed 60 yards for another touchdown. Wilder grabbed a blocked kick and packed the pigskin eight yards for Falkner Irby Eacrett One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 107 ---------- the Vikings' final score, in the third period. The only Centralia touchdown came as a result of a clever alterna-tion of power plays and aerial work late in the final quarter. Vikings vs. College of Puget Sound Conceded absolutely no chance against the strong College of Puget Sound team, the Vikings knocked the dope bucket sky-high by holding their highly touted rivals to a score-less tie. It was a hard fought game with the Vikings given no chance against the big Red and White team. The Vikings, however, gave the team its biggest scare of the season. Early in the opening quarter Coach Carver's men advanced within the Logger ten yard mark, but were unable to score. During the entire quarter the ball see-sawed back and forth in the Tacoma team's territory. Just before the half terminated, the loggers launched a terrific offensive drive which was stopped only by sheer Viking stubborness on their one foot line. During the third period both teams threatened to score, but were unable to cross the goal-line. As the game drew to a close, the Viking offensive machine led by Iverson, Flowers, and Wilder passed and smashed to the seven yard line when the game end-ed, blocking a golden opportunity for the Blue and White team to score. Campbell Voris Collier One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 108 ---------- FOOTBALL MANAGERS Shaffer Osborne Vikings vs. Ellensburg Playing a spectacular brand of football on a slippery, snow covered field, the Ellensburg Wildcats crushed the Bellingham gridders 26-0. Rodeo field was the scene of the battle which gave Ellensburg another Tri-Normal football championship. The initial period was taken up with punts and a few plays. Each team failed to gain yardage and the period closed without a score. Recovering an Ellensburg fumble in the second quarter, the Vikings took the ball down the field to the ten yard line, but could not drive through for the touchdown. On a combination of end runs and line smashes, the Wildcats carried the pigskin down the field for the only score of the half. The game seemed to drag during the third quarter, with neither team making gains of consequence. However, in the final period the Wildcats hit their stride and on consistent long runs, piled up three touchdowns for their 26-0 victory. VIKINGS IN ACTION One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 109 ---------- Dixon Thorsen Flowers Rork Basketball Resume With Dixon, Thorsen and Rork as a nucleus for Coach Carver's bas-ketball machine, and Campbell, Flowers, Shelton, Skotheim, Sherman, Abbott, and later in the season, Clark and Comfort, the Viking mentor developed a successful aggregation. Although their record was not im-pressive, the Vikings played heady, fast basketball through the entire season and lost only to remarkably strong teams. The Viking hoopsters started the season by swamping Centralia Ju- nior College. The following week, led by Rork and Thorsen, the hilltop team dropped St. Martins in one of the roughest games of the year. The Carverites hit a decided slump and were trounced by Ellensburg and Cheney in the first Tri-Normal competition. The lone game was taken from St. Michaels College at Yakima. The Cheney Savages nosed the Vikings out in a close game with Dixon, Rork and Abbott starring. In the following game the U. of W. Frosh took them into camp. The next night at Tacoma, the Vikings staged a strong finish to nose out the College of Puget Sound. Coming back home the Vikings were defeated by the Ellensburg Wildcats. The following week the Viking hoopsters came through with the biggest thrill of the season by holding the mighty U. of W. Frosh ma-chine to a ten point lead. Skotheim Sherman Thorsen One Hundred Nine Abbott ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 110 ---------- VARSITY Sherman, Thorsen, Coach Carver, Clarke, Dixon Abbott, Skotheim, Flowers, Shelton, Nyberg Then Coach Carver and his men split a two game series with St. Martins and Centralia Junior College on their floors, with the Vikings dropping the games with the Junior College. In the final game of the season, the College of Puget Sound took the game by holding the Vikings well nigh scoreless. Super Varsity With eight victories and three losses to their record of the season, the Supers finished high in the class "A" City League. The team played consistent basketball throughout the season and developed some promis-ing material for Coach Carver's first squad next year. VIKINGS VS.

PHILOMETHEAN Bushby, Thompson, Divird, Wilder, J. Brown One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 112 ---------- Dixon J. McCleery Leatha Baseball Resume Led by six lettermen, the Viking baseball squad, under the tutor-ship of Coach "Pop" Gunn, started training indoors early in March. Captain Thorsen, first base; Iverson, pitcher; Hugh McCleery, catcher; Dixon, center field; Gravrock, left field, and Jim McCleery, right field, were the veterans reporting. New men out for places were Gallenger, Anson, Nichols, and Com- fort, third base; Abbott and Blanton, shortstop; Campbell, Miracle, Ny-berg and Newquist, second base; Rockey, first base; Leaden and Clark, catchers, and Blomberg, Carter, Gissberg, Irby, Wooten, Haggard, George, Smith, Thompson and Thorpe, outfielders. Moultray and Leatha turned out for pitching positions. With Iver-son, a veteran right hander turning out, this department seemed to be a little stronger than last year's. Comfort H. McCleery Thorsen One Huncdred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 113 ---------- Abbott Iverson Gravrock Early season rains played havoc with turnout, but with better weath-er in the middle of April the team gradually took shape as a contender. All in all, this year's team looks better than last year's. The material has been sifted and some of the men have shown up stronger than others. H. McCleery and Leaden are expected to do most of the receiving. Iverson, Leatha and Blanton will pitch. Thorsen is on first, Campbell on second, Abbott short, and Comfort is holding down third. John Dixon, Jim McCleery and Wooten, a new man from Whitman, are in the outfield. St. Martins College furnished the first opposition for the Vikings. Coach Gunn's diamond artists showed plenty of strength but lost, 4-5. The remainder of the games included tilts with College of Puget Sound, U. of W. Frosh, and several practice games. Leaden Campbell Wooten One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 114 ---------- Flowers Duyff Davis Jones Track Resume Welcomed by ten letter winners and a very promising array of green material, Coach Carver expressed high hopes of producing a successful and outstanding team for the 1931 track and field season. Well fortified in the distance and middle-distance events, and with great expectations of a conference record in the mile and 880, and per-haps a near record performance in the 440, the Vikings had hopes of roll-ing up a big share of the Blue and White score in these events. In the sprints and hurdles the Frosh stepped out, displaying their ability to the satisfaction of everyone. Very strong in the jumps and pole vault, the Viking entrants made up for a slight, early season weakness in the weights, which was expected to be remedied as the season progressed. In their first meet of the season, the Bellingham mentor sent on the field a promising looking squad of tracksters who downed their ancient rivals, the College of Puget Sound, 69-61. The meet was featured with excellent time in the distance events, hurdles and good marks in the jumps. Other meets in which the Vikings were to enter was a dual affair with the U. of W. Frosh and, closing the season, the Tri-Normal meet with Cheney and Ellensburg Normal Schools.

One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 117 ---------- Hedger, Berenstein, Irby, Fresk, Gable, Houghton, Gissberg, Rork Tennis Through means of a ladder tournament eight men have championed their way to gain recognition on the Viking tennis squad. The Viking hopes this year are centered around Jim Rork, the only veteran to report this season. Rork is present holder of the Tri-Normal championship in the singles, and shares with a former Viking the honors for winner of the Tri-Normal doubles. Two of Rork's promising assistants are Hedger and Berenstein, both former prep team-mates of Rork. All three of these men are smooth, consistent players, and are Normal's leading contenders for inter-colle-giate competition. This trio, and Roland Gissberg, have been chosen to meet with the College of Puget Sound racqueters at Tacoma on May 2. Other competitiors on the squad who may see action in meets this year are: Houghton, Fresk, Gable and Irby. On May 5, the Vikings visited Mount Vernon Junior College for the second match of the season and on May 12, the Mount Vernon team played a return match in Bellingham. The College of Puget Sound ag-gregation journeyed to Bellingham on May 16, to repay their match. The Vikings defenden their Tri-Normal championship titles at Ellens-burg, May 23. One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 118 ---------- Weythman Horton George Jewell Women's Athletics Under the skillful directions of the coaches, women's athletics scored another successful year. Ruth Weythman, head of the physical education department for women deserves much credit for the success of girls' sports. She made a trip to Spokane in April to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire Educa-tional Association, where she acquired much new information concern-ing the teaching of physical education. Mildred Jewell, in addition to coaching various sports, directed a dance recital which was the outgrowth of the girls' interest in natural dancing. Mass effects and solo numbers, both were featured in the fes-tival given on May 7. Marjory Horton introduced the sport of horse-back riding into the extra-curricula activities. This proved to be a popular diversion for girls aspiring to honors as equestriennes. Miss Lillian George again directed hiking activities and started the "breakfast-hikes" which were an enjoyable feature of the outings. SWEATER WINNERS Wiberg, Bresnan, Smith, Petersen, Williams One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 119 ---------- Badminton Natural Dancing Sport Resume Sports have become a very vital part of the feminine activities of the school. Almost every girl participates in some type of sport during her Normal career. Among the athletics in which the women may indulge are: hockey, soccer, basketball, volley ball, badminton, serve us ball, tennis, golf, handball, swimming, archery, baseball, and hiking. Every girl who turns out for any one or all of these sports has gained something aside from the mere action required in playing the game. She has acquired an understanding of co-operation, a spirit of fair play, and a respect for the rights of others which can only be gained by contact with others in a congenial atmosphere. Sportsmanship is the goal for which each girl is striving. Leadership is another trait which finds ex-pression and may be developed during turnouts. Hockey Turnout Baseball Practice One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 120 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Klinski, Meredith, Sleasman, Harris, Hall Swick, Zaddack, Petersen, Burke Wirsing, DeWitt, Tarbox, Ordal Wiberg, Thompson, Waham Soccer Since its introduction into the sports program of the Women's Athletic Association in 1926, soc-cer has been a popular activity with the girls. Although there is much hard and intensive effort necessary to play the game, all those who turn out for the sport enjoy it. Drib-bling, kicking, blocking, passing, and teamwork are a few of the es- sential techniques the girls work hard to acquire. The ultimate goal of each par-ticipant is a place on the All-Star team. An intermediate step, how-ever, is the membership on either the Sophomore or the Freshman class team. Qualifications neces-sary to make these teams are: sportsmanship, teamwork, and all around good playing. In order to make the All-Star squad one must have these attributes to the nth degree. Even though the elements seem-ed ranged against them and rain, wind, and mud appeared to hold sway over the field most of the season, a large group of girls turn-ed out faithfully each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Miss Marjo-ry Horton coached the sport. In addition to playing the regu-lar intra-mural games the girls' team of the Normal school met and defeated the All-Star team of the Training School. The All- Stars, coached by Flash Dixon and Ginny Carboneau, accepted the challenge made by the Normal Girls to prove which was the stronger team. It was decided that the winner of two out of three games should be the champion. The final decisive battle was fought on Armistice day. It was a hard, fast game played on a mud-dy field. The girls won the contest with the final score of 6 to 0.

I want a shin guard. Whee! Watch my speed today!" were some of the cries heard in the large gymna-sium last fall quarter as the fresh-men and sophomore girls prepared for hockey practice. Much interest was manifest in this outdoor sport. Every Monday and Wednesday afternoon a large group under Miss Mildred Jewell, coach, turned out on Waldo field for this excit-ing and comparatively new wom-en's sport to be fostered here at Normal. Speed and quick thinking were the essentials in the Waldo "sea of mud" and fully a score of energetic and wide-awake girls participated loyally throughout the quarter. Hockey one, hockey two, hockey three and they were off flashing (or brandishing) clubs, dribbling, passing, and making a rush for the goal. To the spectator there was unusual speed displayed in pass-ing the ball from one end of the playing field to the other. Every-one within the radius of the tilt was keyed up from the time of the first whistle to the end of the game. Co-operation and team work were factors which made the hoc-key season a successful one. Of course these forces are necessary in any team game, but especially so in hockey. Although there were often made-up teams for variety's sake, the more important teams were the Shindigs and Rinkeydinks. An All-Star team was picked by the coach and class letters were awarded to those who placed on it.

Al-though there are no inter-colle-giate games as in the case of the men, there is still just as much vital interest in the sport. Under the skillful direction of the coach, Miss Mildred Jewell, the basketball turnouts developed some good fast players of the ever-fascinating game. Much practice was necessary, of course on drib-bling, passing, shooting, and guarding before even a semblance of a team could be considered. However, the girls appeared regularly each Monday and Wed-nesday afternoon and after much drill on the technique of the game it was possible to choose Sopho-more and Freshmen teams by the last half of the quarter. In addition to displaying their development of the skills required in basketball, the girls also dis-played much co-operation and teamwork in the intra-mural games. A special feature of the Wom-en's basketball season this year was the hoop league which con-sists of teams sponsored by vari-ous clubs and institutions of the school. Teams were entered in this league from Edens Hall, the Thes-pian Club, the Vanadis Bragi, and Outside girls. By the process of elimination the entrants were finally narrow-ed down to the Thespian and Out-side girls' teams. It was a fast game, exciting from the time the first whistle blew until the end of the game. The Outside girls were the league winners. Everyone who participated in or observed the basketball games this year declared that they rep-resented a very successful cage season.

Nelson, Grue, Top, Williams, Hennings Guernsey, Shudshift, Bresnan Lundberg, Fladebo, Bresnan, Greaves Badminton Recently introduced into the sports calendar, badminton has since become a popular winter quarter sport with the Normal women. Originally an English game, it has been adopted by the United States in the last few years. This game is very similar to the favorite American game of tennis. Both the technique of playing and the scorekeeping are identical with that of the other net game. However, the equipment is differ-ent than tennis. The player uses a long handled racket to bat a feath-er shuttle cock over the net to the opponent. A large group of girls appeared at the badminton practices which were held on Tuesday and Thurs-day afternoons. Because of this large turnout Miss Marjory Hor-ton was forced to pick six teams, including both singles and dou-bles. A tourney was held and the winners of the matches were placed on the class teams. Volleyball Pep and enthusiasm were the keynotes of the volley ball season this year. The turnouts were large in comparison with that of past years, although they were not as large as in other sports. Coached by Miss Mildred Jew-ell, the girls learned the essentials of the game and an appreciation of its educational and social val-ues. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon found the girls in the large gymnasium working out the techniques of the sport or actually playing it. According to all the predictions it was expected that the Sopho-mores would carry away all the honors in the inter-class games. However, the playing of the Freshmen showed marked con-trast to that of the Sophomores. With the winning of two out of three games the Freshmen were declared the winners of the cham-pionship.

Thompson Serve Us Ball Serve us ball is a sport not only of interest to Normal students, but to students in the training school. For those in the training school the game is simplified, but much interest is nevertheless displayed toward it. This sport was coached by Miss Mildred Jewell and turnouts were held for Normal girls on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. From the ranks of the Fresh- men much good material was found for a team. There was a large group of them working hard to learn the game and to earn a place on the team. The Sophomore women athletes did not turn out as well, but those who appeared were good material for a class team. In spite of the scarcity of Sopho-mores, two teams were chosen and several intra-mural games were played. Swimming An ever popular activity with girl athletes of the Bellingham Normal is swimming, which is coached by Miss Marjory Horton. Although no Helene Madisons were discovered among those who turned out, two teams were chosen and several aquatic meets staged at the Y. W. C. A. tank. The sophomores, because of their experience, had the edge on the freshmen this year, but much of the new material showed prom-ise for the team next year. Unlike past seasons, there were no meets scheduled with other col-leges in the state and only intra-mural competition filled the aquatic world. The regular Thursday evening splash hour proved as popular this year as in previous years. The Y. W. C. A. pool was full each Thurs-day evening with aspiring mer-maids from the Normal.

Smith, Ward, Burke, Petersen, Zaddack, Shudshift, Carmichael, De Witt, Dotson, Meredith, Harris, Tarbox M. Thompson G. Smith, Bresnan, L. Thompson, Wirsing, Sleasman Waham Speedball The fast-moving, highly orga-nized game called speedball seems to be an intriguing one for many of the Normal girls. The combina-tion of football, basketball, soccer, and even baseball makes this the most complicated and speedy of all the games on the feminine sport calendar. Mental and physical alertness are necessary in playing this game. It is impossible for a slow-moving, slow-thinking individual to compete in this active sport. Girls must be fast-thinking and fast-moving to truly play the game. Teamwork and co-operation are of supreme importance. No one for the good of the team can play as an individual, but must play only as a cog in the machine which is the speedball team. Freshmen and sophomore teams for the intra-mural games have not yet been chosen. However, with such a large group of girls turning out it should be quite easy to pick fast, smooth running teams from both the first and second year competitors. Speedball is a new sport on the list of women's athletics. Put on the sport schedule recently it has become one of the most popular games with the women. Under the direction of Miss Marjory Horton, turnouts are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. A large group of girls appear regularly for work and play at this time. One Hundred Twenty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 126 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Northen, Lindh, Mahnche, Rose, D. Williams, Fladebo Dever, May, Hunt, Armstrong, Towner, Robb, Taylor, McLain, Cryer, Guernsey, Glenn Deighton, Koski Archery With Greenwood Forest, alias Sehome Hill, as a background and Robin Hood, nee Miss Mildred Jewell as director, the Merry Women of the Normal school are fast becoming proficient archers. "Practice makes perfect" ac-cording to the old adage and the Viqueen archers practice faithful-ly and diligently each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon in an attempt to reach the perfect stage. Some of those who are turning out for the sport are all ready quite accurate and hit the bull's eye a fair number of times. Others are learning control and marks-manship very rapidly and each day finds an improvement on the score of the previous one. Later in the season, archery teams will be formed from the Sophomore and Freshman aspi-rants. In order to do this a ladder tournament will be staged and those who reach the higher rungs of the ladder will place on the teams. Golf "Oh, the dirty little pill Went rolling down the hill And rolled right into the water." Such is the theme song of the girls who turn out for golf, as they trudge mile after weary mile in pursuit of the "dirty little pill" which bounds nonchalantly over the beautiful green fairway. Directed by Mr. Charles Con-don, professional at the Lakeway Golf and Country Club, golf is the popular sport of many girls who turn out in an effort to learn the game. Even the well- known miniature golf does not detract from the in-terest and attention which the girls expend on the sport. Swings, strokes, stances and all the finer techniques of the game made fam-ous by Bobby Jones, are of vital interest to every one who is turn-ing out. Those who are turning out for the sport are: Iola Grue, Eloise Rankin, Elinor Anderson, Gladys Smith, Lois Thompson, Jessie Haddow, and Dorothy Price. One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 127 ---------- TENNIS HANDBALL Sablocki, Nelson, Nairn, Klinski, Sinnes, Esleby Hilburger, Shudshift, Bresnan, Rankin Brandt, Smith, Johnson, Wiberg, Jacob, Logan Tennis Tennis is again one of the ma-jor sports of the spring quarter. In this country in which it never gets really too hot to play all through the summer, almost every one at least attempts to play the game. Muscles are still stiff from dis-use during the winter months. But with the continued good weather every one has a chance to limber up and develop the techniques of the game. Some of those who are turning out show good form already and with such a wide variety of play-ers there is promise of many in-teresting matches later. Although the girls do not have inter-collegiate meets there is al-ways much competition within the tennis turnout itself. Competition took place in the form of a ladder tournament. At the time the Klipsun went to press, Sigrid Wiberg was at the top of the ladder and Guy Smith was second. Handball The back of the grandstand on Waldo field seemed to have a strange and unaccountable attrac-tion for some of the feminine ath- letes of Bellingham State Normal School during the spring quarter. Upon further investigation it appeared that practice in the game of handball was being held there every Monday and Wednesday af- ternoon from four o'clock until five. Under the skillful coaching of Miss Marjory Horton, the girls de- veloped speed and accuracy in the game in which these abilities are essential. When speed and accuracy are a part of the player's technique, handball becomes a fast-moving and thrilling game; a fact which was ably illustrated by the girls who played during the spring quarter. The handball courts were the scene of many interesting matches played by the girls. After a num-ber of these contests singles and doubles teams were chosen by the coach.
