Now, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education is granted, and the school has been given a four-year accrediting by the Amer-ican Association of Teachers' Colleges. A DMINISTRATION ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page [11] ---------- ~ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 12 ---------- Bever Johnson Marquis Deans * The work of the deans of the school, James Bever, dean; Florence Johnson, dean of women; and W. J. Marquis, dean of men, is primarily to help solve student problems. They are considered by students to be generous in their judgments and willing to offer helpful suggestions whenever possible. They extend a sincere welcome to new students and are good friends of old students. Dean Bever aids students in planning suitable courses and choosing the proper curricula. His advice in changing courses and altering sched-ules for the better is welcome and helpful to all students. Remembering his sound advice and cordial welcome, they usually come back to him -not once, but many times for counsel. Dean Johnson, pleasant friend and convincing adviser, finds it her duty to serve the women of the school in any matters which may arise. School affairs and personal matters alike are brought to Dean Johnson for consideration. It is through her office that school social events are arranged, and dated. Miss Johnson is also house mother at Edens Hall. As social director and adviser for the girls at the hall she is considered a favorite by all. Men students find in Dean Marquis a sympathetic adviser and sin-cere friend. His concise ways of attacking student problems and sound advice given those who come to him make him known as a leader here. In Mr. Marquis' education courses the many ideas implanted in the student's mind stay there to grow and mature. Helping to train teachers to instruct children and be leaders in their communities is Dean Marquis' specialty. Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 13 ---------- Wilson Farlow Reese George Doty Library Staff * The Library staff, under the direction of Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, head librarian, maintains an efficient and valuable library service for students and faculty. The members of this staff are Miss Beatrice Doty, children's librar-ian, Miss Pearl Reese, secretary to the library, Miss La Verne Farlow, circulation, and Miss Lillian George, cataloguer. Student assistants, chosen by Miss Wilson, work under the various staff members in the different departments. The Reference Library and Main Reading Room on the second floor compare very favorably with those of other schools the size of this one. A Periodical Room combined with a reserved book desk is at the dis-posal of all students and faculty members. The Children's Library, maintained in connection with the Campus Elementary School, is a source of unlimited assistance to the student teachers as well as to the children of the Campus School. Literature courses in the teaching of technique make direct use of the Children's Library. Miss Wilson conducts a complete course in Library Instruction once a year, usually in the winter quarter. The course is required of all stu-dents because it is designed to acquaint the student with the material the library has to offer, the location of that material, and the technical operation of any standard library. The library building itself is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture, distinctive, yet harmonizing with the other buildings on the campus. Notice, sometime, the stained glass windows, very effective lighting, beautifully carved staircase, and hand decorated interior.

Faculty Adviser Allan Carver Albert Morrison Hoppe * The upper-classmen, under the name of Junior- Senior class, turn their efforts during the year toward the graduation in June rather than concentrate their effort on the quarterly class parties as do the Fresh-man and Sophomore classes. In October the Junior-Senior class had its first and only dance of the year. Al Charlesworth, general chairman, adopted a very different type of decorative scheme for the evening. The Miner's Paradise idea was the basis of the scheme and atmosphere was lent the dance by unique decorations in the way of checkered table cloths, candles in bottles, and a mock bar. Lights were low, and colored, so the miners were right at home. Graduation, in the spring, is the big event of the year for the Junior-Senior class. Baccalaureate services were held Sunday, June 3. Finally, on Thursday, June 7, comes the long awaited graduation. Friends and parents of the graduating class were welcomed to these exercises, held in the auditorium.

Dr. Bond was elected class adviser at the beginning of the school year and has given the class his most enthusiastic support throughout the year. Saturday, November 4, was the date of the first Sophomore Party of the year. Billie Mills was the general chairman with a large committee working under her. The plan of decoration was the football scheme in honor of the game with St. Martin's College. Red and white pennants and blue and white banners intermingled with football helmets and suits were used as decorations. Realistic goal posts at either end of the Big Gym gave the final note of decoration. The night of Saturday, February 24, was the date of the winter quarter Sophomore hop. Art Bagley was general chairman of this second social function given by the Sophomores. The plan of decorations was the night club idea. The trick door, pass words, and the general scheme helped this dance to be voted the most successful of the year. Each class contributed something to the Campus Day arrangements this spring. The Sophomore class, being a large class, fulfilled its part of the plan and gladly assumed its share of the success. The class is to be congratulated on its spirited attack of every project it undertook and on the ultimate success in these undertakings.

C. C. Representative MRS. LOVEGREN . . Faculty Adviser Norlin Starlund Mitchell Odell Lovegren * The first accomplishment of this year's freshman class was the build-ing of the Homecoming Bonfire. This is a traditional task allotted to the freshman boys and is said to be a measure of their class spirit--the higher the fire, the higher the spirit, they say. This class qualified very well along this line. Jim Jobe was chairman of transportation for build-ing the fire and Bill and Lou Neilson were ringleaders in assembling the pile. The first party of the year was the Art Studio idea with Dorothy Brown, Bob Becken, and Frank Pratt as special entertainers. Margaret Chester was general chairman, assisted by President Don Norlin and a committee of class members. The scheme of decoration consisted of low colored lights, art easels, and pictures, and wall hangings to give the appearance of a studio. Jim Jobe was chairman of the second or Winter Quarter freshman party. The N. R. A. program was the keynote of the affair, and the dif-ferent phases of the N. R. A. posters were used as decorations. The Spring quarter dance was headed by Oscar Starlund as general chairman. Shortage of funds in the class made it necessary to eliminate the frills and have a straight hop rather than the usual type of party. Jack Burn's orchestra furnished the music for dancing.

The inter- collegiate sports program con-sisting of football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf was carried on with more enthusiasm than usual. Keen competition also marked intramural contests in volleyball, basketball, hand-ball, horseshoes and baseball. ATHLETICS Forty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page [43] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 44 ---------- Coach "Chuck" Lappenbusch * The football season of 1933 was the first for Coach Chuck Lappenbusch here at the Bellingham State Normal School. He came here from Albany College, Albany Oregon, where he had previously been Di-rector of Athletics. Lappenbusch Coach Lappenbusch learned his foot- ball at the College of Puget Sound and at the University of Washington, where he played under Jimmy Phelan. In 1928 he won the distinction of being named for the guard position on several All-Coast elevens. He also coaches basketball and baseball teams. Yell Kings * The duties of keeping the student body filled with pep and getting them out to the games fell this year on Bill Allan, yell king, and Melvin Munson and Vernon Leatha, yell dukes. That this trio did a good job was seen by the fact that the general enthusiasm for athletics was the liveliest it has been in many years. Of the many things they did, probably the most outstanding was the successful management of the annual Homecoming. The pep rally and serpentine through the streets of Bellingham will long be remem-bered by the city and students, alike.

He is in charge of all intra-mural sports, track, tennis, golf, ladder tour-naments, and gym classes. Sam has a very enviable record in all sports, especially track and tennis. With the exception of six quarters, in 1924 and 1925, he has been here since the year 1915. An assistant coach was appointed Carver to aid him in the athletic program in 1925. Managers * At the beginning of the quarter, the position of athletic manager was held by Louis Schaffer. When Louis was forced, because of ill to health, leave school, Gordon Richardson took over his duties, with Phil Crimmins as his first assistant. The managers kept a wary eye on all athletic material throughout the year and made a splendid record. Very little equipment was lost. Other students who helped out with the work during the year were Jack Kemphaus, Don Denton, Bill Ames, and Harry Windsor.

The locals were opposed by a big, powerful line behind which a speedy backfield had plenty of time to work. The University Cubs, led by Arbie Hufford and Jimmy "Sugar" Cain, scored a field goal and a touchdown in the first period, another touchdown in the second quarter, and the final one just a few minutes before the end of the game. Les Williams, Tomco, Hoban, and Imhoff showed up well for the Vikings. Tomco Claypoole Ames Forty-six Davidson Imhoff Williams _ ~_~ _~ _ ~ ___ ~ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 47 ---------- C. P. S. 4, Vikings O * The College of Puget Sound foot-ball eleven came north confident of having a pleasant afternoon, but they struck a snag when they took on the Sinko Vikings on a muddy field. Four points Toby from two safeties was the only scoring Mitchell the loggers were able to do. Sinko nearly turned defeat into victory when, in the second period, he broke through a hole opened by Finley, Smick and Ullin and ran eighty yards before be-ing tackled from behind by Carlson on * the two-yard line. At this point C. P. S. held and kicked out of danger. Sulkos-ky was acting captain and played his best game of the season. Bagley Gillies Shafer Forty-seven _ ~ ~~_~__ ~_ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 48 ---------- St. Martins 13, Vikings 0 * St. Martin's Rangers played bril-liant football to defeat the fighting Vikings 13 to 0 at Olympia. The Lacey Hamman team scored their first touchdown dur- Hoffman ing the first few minutes of play, and Smick their second late in the fourth quarter. Bellingham was on the offensive dur- ing the second and third quarters but could not cross the goal line. The clos-est they came to scoring was when they advanced the ball to the one-foot line. Miller, Bagley, Hoban, Odell, Sinko, Sulkosky and Finley were out-standing for the Vikings. Forty-eight ~ ~ ~ ~~~~_~ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 49 ---------- P. L. C. 0, Vikings 14 * Les Williams and Cal Davidson contributed the most to the winning of the Viking's first and only victory of the season in a game against Pacific Lutheran. Davidson was switched to the previously weak position at full-back and held down the position ex-tremely well. He scored the first touch-down early in the game after Frender had blocked a punt. Williams broke through tackle for a 50-yard dash to score the other touchdown and make the final score of 14 to 0. Bagley, Fren-der and acting-captain Finley stood out well on the defense for Bellingham. Finley Odell Sulkosky Forty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 50 ---------- Trophy Winner * To Ray Sulkosky, Jr., went the honor of being the first football player to receive the Northwest Viking Inspirational Trophy. This award is to be given each year by the school Newspaper. After coming to this school from the College of Puget Sound, Ray completed his two year football career here, last season. His work at guard was an inspiration to the whole team. Sulkosky Cheney 33, Vikings o * The Vikings reached Spokane at 2 o'clock in the morning after a tiresome bus trip. They met the Cheney Savages the next afternoon and were forced to bow to a 33 to 0 defeat. Cheney used their speed and weight to good advantage and gained consistently both through the line and around end. This game was the homecoming classic for the Savages and Captain Roundy led his men in the victory which meant much to the grads. The eastern school scored twice in the first half and three times more in the final half. The Bellingham eleven made only one assault on their opponents' goal line. During the first half the Vikings advanced the ball to the 28-yard stripe but lost it on downs. Tomco was outstanding on the line and Williams in the backfield for the Vikings. 1st Row: Shafer, Richardson, Bagley, Sperry, Conn, Claypoole, Owen, Hammon, Willis, Davidson, Imhoff, Lappenbusch 2nd Row: Flint, Sulkosky, Schirman, Ullin, Frender, Tomco, Crimmins, Hoban, Smick 3rd Row: Sinko, Gillies, Toby, Miller, Odell, Wardenaar, Mitchell, Ames, Hoffman Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 51 ---------- Homecoming Captain * Otto Finley was chosen to captain the Vikings for their Homecoming game against the Ellensburg Wildcats. Because he played a good game and proved to be an excellent leader against P. L. C. the previous week, the Coach gave Otto this responsible posi-tion. He was a capable and well-liked cap-tain, and received splendid co-operation from his teammates. This was his second year as a letterman, being reserve center last year. Finley Ellensburg 6, Vikings o * The Vikings closed their 1933 football season with a hard-fought game which they lost to the Ellensburg Wildcats by a 6 to 0 score. The game was played before a large Homecoming crowd on Waldo field. It was the long, spiraling punts of Dinslow, Ellensburg's right end, that spelled defeat for the locals; in every other department of the game, the Vikings played on even terms with the enemy. The Wildcats scored late in the second quarter when a line smash by McMinds put the ball over the pay stripe. Coach Lappenbusch's men made only one dangerous bid for a score, and that came in the first quarter. Two passes, Williams to Miller, and several end-around plays with Odell and Toby carrying the ball, put the ball on the 10-yard marker. Here the Wildcat defense strengthened and the Viking cause was lost. Fifty- one ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 52 ---------- Home Games C. P. S. . . . . 43 . . .

About thirty men answered Coach Lappenbusch's call late in December. From this group he moulded a fighting squad, which however was a little weak in experience. Lettermen from last year included Dutch McBeath, Byron Moser, and Walter Sorensen. New men on the squad were Sollie, Johnson, Dun-igan, Fitzer, Vandergriend, Frender, Zambas, and Anderson. The Vikings opened the season at home against the strong College of Puget Sound five to whom they lost an exciting game, 43 to 35. This game was featured by the play of the accurate-shooting Harold Fitzer, Viking center. The next game turned out to be a win for the locals when they won from Pacific Lutheran College, 34 to 25. Coach Lappenbusch next took his men on a trip over the mountains where they defeated Yakima Junior College, 26 to 23, and lost to Ellens-burg and Cheney, 42 to 21, and 28 to 20. Upon their return from this trip, the Vikings entertained Cheney and Ellensburg at home. They lost to Cheney 45 to 37 in a free- shooting game, and were defeated by the Ellensburg Wildcats in the finest game of the season, 29 to 22. A win over Parker's Toggery, an independent team from Mt. Vernon, was sandwiched in between these two losses. The second road trip of the season ended disastrously with three defeats for the Vikings, although all the games were close. The victors were C. P. S., Pacific Lutheran, and Seattle Pacific College. The squad returned home to end the season in a thrilling game with Seattle Pacific College, losing 29 to 26. With most of the men returning to this school next year, prospects for a winning team are much brighter than they have been in the past. Gordy Richardson and Phil Crimmins handled the managerial duties for the team during the season.

Nielsen, Crimmins 2nd Row: Jackson, Benedict, Hager, Miles, Odell Jayvee Basketball * Winning eight games out of ten, the Jayvees placed second in the class B city Basketball League. The first game of the season was lost to the Y. M. C. A. Triangles, the same team that defeated them in the last game for the championship. The Triangles won their first game with the school by a score of 34 to 17. Hager stood out offensively for the Vikings. The Normal squad started their eight game winning streak with a 36 to 33 win over the Union Printing five. They jumped into the lead at the first and held it throughout, although the printers threatened near the last. Miles with fifteen points was outstanding in the victory. The Blue Ribbon Creamery was next in line for the J. V.'s. They were defeated 37 to 17. The next two contests were breathers for the Normal team. They walked over the Y. M. Crescents 45 to 17, and then coasted through to a 28 to 9 victory against the Pay 'n' Takit quintet. Zoet, Benedict, and B. Neilsen were the outstanding players in these contests. It took two overtime periods to down the Union Printing five in the second round by a 33 to 30 score. The 29 to 29 tie at the end of the regular playing time was unchanged after the first extra period, making the second overtime necessary. The next game with the Blue Ribbon Creamery ended 45 to 10, with Benedict alone scoring 14 points. The Y. M. Crescents put up a fight in their second game against the teachers but lost 32 to 26. In the Jayvees' eighth consecutive victory the regulars ran up enough of a lead in the first half to cinch the game with Pay 'n' Takit 62 to 26. In the championship game against the Triangles the Jayvees were behind 12 to 20 at the half and 19 to 36 at the end of the game. Fifty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 56 ---------- 1st Row: Moscrip, Zwaschka, Divird, Starlund, Odell 2nd Row: Jackson, Albee, Zoet Intramural Basketball * Under the able direction of Coach Sam Carver, the intramural basket-ball league enjoyed a very successful season. After the smoke of battle had all cleared away, the Co-op five, under the management of George Albee, was found to be in possession of the prized championship flag. The race for honors was featured by close competition between four of the seven teams entered in the schedule, namely the Co-op, Frosh, Daniels Hall, and the Northwest Vikings. The league included three other teams, the Harliquins, Men's Club, and the Revelers, among whom the fight for the cellar position took place. At the end of the first half the Co-op, Daniels Hall, and the North-west Vikings teams were tied in a knot at the top of the heap. The play-off was won by the team from the Newspaper office when they de- feated Daniels Hall and the Co-op on successive nights. When the re-porters and Daniels Hall fives took defeats early in the second half, the Co-op found a new rival in the Frosh with whom they were tied at the end of the regular playing schedule. However, in a close, hard-fought game the Co-op won their way into the final play-off with the Northwest Viking squad. The lads from the bookstore defeated the reporters in the first game of the play-off by a 36 to 18 score, and cinched the flag a few days later with another victory, 34 to 27. At the end of the season an all-star team was picked by Coach Sam Carver and the sports editors of the Northwest Viking. Men on this hon-orary quintet included Moscrip and Odell of the Co-op, at forward and guard respectively, Bill Nielson of the Frosh at center, Macrae Stone, Northwest Viking star, at the other forward, and Joe Hager, of the Frosh at the other guard. Fifty-six ~ _ _~ _~ ~ ~_ ~ ~~ ~I~ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 57 ---------- Intramural Baseball * Frequent postponement because of rain caused a lack of interest in the intramural baseball league during the first half of the schedule. The managers found it very difficult to get enough men out to form a team, and numerous forfeits were given. Five teams signed up at the first of the season. Before the season was half over, however, the Daniels Hall team managed by Walt Sinko had dropped from the league. The other four teams: Barton Hall, managed by Cal Davidson, All Stars, managed by Frank Forstrom, Frosh, managed by Jim Moscrip, and North-west Vikings, managed by Phil Campbell, fought it out for the first half championship. Barton Hall was the class of the league in the first half and took the flag quite easily. They won four straight games, the hardest of which was against the strong all-star aggregation. The winners made eight runs in one inning to take the contest by a 9 to 4 score. Barton Hall won the first game of the season from the school reporters by a forfeit. The All-Stars showed some class in their opening game by defeating Daniels Hall 4 to 1. The N. W. Vikings lost their second game to the Frosh outfit 6 to 2. Barton Hall won their second forfeit contest from their brother rivals, Daniels Hall, while the All Stars were taking a similar contest from the Frosh. The Frosh also forfeited a game to Barton Hall, while the All Stars were defeating the N. W. Vikings 6 to 3 in the last game of the first half. One of the highlights of the softball season was the annual game between the students and the faculty. Although the game which was a campus day feature, was a walkaway for the students, the faculty showed that they still were able to put up a good contest. The final score was 26 to 0. Fifty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 58 ---------- Zambas, Sollie Johnson, Gillies, Holder Track * With only four lettermen answering his first call for track turnouts, Coach Sam Carver was faced with the big job of producing a winning track team this year for the Normal. The lettermen included "Red" Van- Over, weight man; Posy Flowers, pole vaulter; Jack Kemphaus, javelin star; and Johnny Stiger, miler. Using these four men as the nucleus of his squad, Coach Carver turned a team that gave a good account of itself throughout the season. The thinclads tasted their first competition on Friday, April 20, in the annual class track meet on Waldo field. The frosh team came out on the long end of the score, defeating the upper-classmen by a close margin. Johnson, Fife, Holder, and Gillies sparked the frosh squad, with Fife gettting 17 points to take high scoring honors. For the upper-class-men, VanOver, Flowers, Jones, and Kemphaus led the attack. A week later the Vikings met the strong Whatcom high school cinder squad and emerged victorious. Fife, star dash man, again led the attack, winning three first places. The high school team was strong in the distance events, as well as in the hurdles and pole vault. The first intercollegiate meet for the locals was held in Bellingham where they entertained a strong squad of C.P.S. cinder artists and man-aged to pull out a one point victory, 651/ to 641/2. This time it was Howard Wyatt who saved the meet for the Vikings. Running the two-mile for the first time he managed to pull out a third place and give the locals a much needed point. Fifty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 59 ---------- Frender, Wyatt Hall, Flowers, Jones Track * Earl Fife won three first places and a third to take individual scor-ing honors for the day. He won the century in the fast time of 9.9, and the 220 in 22 flat, while a leap of 20 feet, 10 inches brought him first place in the broad jump. Flowers, veteran pole-vaulter, climbed up over 12 feet, 3 inches to take first place in his pet event, and Holder placed first in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet, 9 inches. The locals showed their power in the field events when they took all three places in both the javelin and discus. Big "Red" VanOver did his share in getting a first in both of these events. Bates, C. P. S. sprinter, scored 11 points to take high scoring honors for his team, when he won the low hurdles in the fast time of 25 flat, and placed second to Fife in both of the sprint events. Hammisch, Logger distance star, won a first in the mile event, and tied with a teammate for first in the two mile in what was probably the outstanding race of the day. The runners came down the home stretch fighting neck and neck, but neither was able to gain an advantage and they finished in a dead heat, with Wyatt of Bellingham right behind them. The next taste of competition for the local team came May 12, when they journeyed to Seattle to meet the strongest University of Washington Frosh track team in years. The Vikings were defeated by a 841/2 to 44 score. Coach Carver's men placed in thirteen out of fifteen events, winning four first places. Wyatt, running his second race of the year, came through with flying colors and won the two-mile event in the time of 11:22. Stiger placed first in the mile, as did Holder in the high hurdles, and VanOver in the shot put. For the Frosh, Bruce Humber scored the most points, winning a first in both of the sprint events. Fife trailed him both times to take second place. Fifty-nine ~ I~ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 60 ---------- Dunigan, Richardson Davidson, Austin, Fife Track * The big meet of the year, the Tri-Normal, was held across the stronghold of the Cheney Savages. The Vikings sent a strong team of twelve men over to try to bring back a victory. The squad consisted of Fife in the 100, 220, broad jump, and pole vault; Arne Johnson in the 100, 220, and low hurdles; Gillies in the high hurdles, high jump, and the discus; Holder in the high jump, high hurdles, and broad jump; Zambas in the discus, and high hurdles; Sollie in the 440; Frank Jones in the 440 and the half mile; Wyatt and Stiger in the distance events; VanOver in the weights and the javelin; Kemphaus in the javelin; and Flowers in the pole vault. The Tri-Normal this year was just a dual meet between Cheney and Bellingham, as Ellensburg gave up track this year in favor of golf. However, the Cheney Savages were strong as usual, and were plenty of competition for the Norsemen. Coach "Red" Reese, of Cheney was blessed with many veterans at the start of the season with which to make up his team. Ott, quarter-mile star and co-holder of the tri-normal record in the 440, returned to run the quarter-mile and the 220. Strand-berg, Savage, sprint ace, turned in good times all season long and gave Fife plenty of competition. Other veterans on the Cheney squad included Roundy and Beyersdorf. Roundy is a veteran in the discus, javelin, and shot put, while Beyersdorf is a stellar broad jumper. Of those new to the squad, Walters and Green stood out. Walters broke the record for the low hurdles early in the season while Green turned in exceptional times in the distance events in every meet. With the conclusion of the Tri-Normal meet the Viking team finished the season with high hopes for a strong team for next season, as most of this year's men were freshmen. Sixty ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 61 ---------- Houghton, Hussey, Joly, Sherwood, Mullen Tennis * Houghton, a two year tennis letterman, was the only veteran that returned to school to aid the Viking tennis squad this spring. Aside from Houghton, who played in the number one position during the entire season, the five man team was composed of three frosh and two sopho-mores. The last three places on the team were hotly contested during the two months of play, none of the men being secure. The Vikings opened their schedule with the Mt. Vernon Junior College racket wielders and had little difficulty in winning over the smaller school, 6 matches to 0. Houghton, Sherwood, Hussey and Sather each took their singles matches, and then teamed to win two doubles victories. A little tougher opposition was found the following week when five men carried the Viking colors to Seattle and met defeat at the hands of the strong U. of W. Frosh team. Jack Joly was the only Viking that was able to chalk up a win. In the remaining contests the Seattle men showed that they were the more experienced players. C. P. S. proved to have a strong net team, when, on May 9, they won four out of six matches from the Vikings. Houghton and Sherwood turned in the two victories for the Bellingham team. Ellensburg's net squad met the Vikings May 10, but because of rain only three singles were played. Bellingham won a partial victory, how-ever, as Houghton and Joly each won their matches. On May 15 the C. P. S. Loggers came north for a return contest with the Vikings. Three men were sent to Cheney on May 19 to compete for the Tri- Normal crown. On the following Friday the Vikings played host to the U. of W. Frosh. This match ended the Normal schedule. Sixty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 62 ---------- Sinko, Lappenbusch, Clark Hamman, Kuhn, Zwaschka, Miller Baseball * Baseball returned to its place as a major school activity after being discontinued for the last two springs. Nearly twenty-five men answered the first turnout call of Coach Lappenbusch. Lack of experience worked a hardship on the molding of a consistently winning team. Only one veteran, an outfielder, was in school and reported for practice. Coach Lappenbusch arranged a hard schedule for his squad. As few schools close at hand had baseball nines, those schools that were met agreed to doubleheaders. The additional innings made it possible for several extra players to gain experience in college ball games. The team was worked on the principle that a good hitting club could make up for a lack of offensive strength. The skill of place hitting and bunting was taught at turnouts. The team opened their season on April 20 when they met the C. P. S. Loggers in a doubleheader on Waldo Field. Mickey Clark's three hit pitching was one of the features of the first contest which was won by a 11 to 0 score by the Viking nine. Mickey kept the Loggers' hits well scattered while his team mates were finding Smith's deliveries to their liking, as they drove the ball to all parts of the field. Joe Arnold led the hitting with four safeties in five times up. He was closely followed by Zwaschka who collected three hits, one a two base blow, out of four trips to the platter. As an air-tight infield the Vikings stood out, only one error being chalked against them. Sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 63 ---------- Windsor, Flint, Roessel Pedigan, Vander Griend, Arnold, Alpaugh Baseball * However, in the second contest of the day, which the visitors took 7 to 5, the Bellingham boys made five bobbles to four for the winners. Miller was knocked from the box in the seventh inning and was replaced by Kuhns, who held the Loggers scoreless for the remaining two innings. Brooks, the Loggers' ace pitcher, silenced the Vikings' guns by giving them only six hits, two of which were credited to Sinko. The Bellingham club showed in the second contest that they were not yet in good enough condition to play two full games, and also that their baseball training was not completed by a long way. Coach Lappenbusch had over a week to prepare his team for their next engagement, which was a return game with the Loggers at Tacoma May 1. Brooks gained his second and third straight victory when he opposed Bellingham in both games of the doubleheader. Brooks' iron man stunt did not seem to weaken him as he allowed only seven hits in the nightcap. The Loggers won the first contest 20 to 5 and then came back to take the final game between the two schools 8 to 3. The Vikings pitching staff looked extremely weak in these two games as the Loggers collected 32 safe hits during the day. Errors proved costly to Bellingham, six being made in the opening and three in the final game. Miller, with three hits in seven times at bat, led the Vikings in batting for the afternoon. The Vikings lost the first game with the U. of W. Frosh by a score of 6 to 2 on Friday, May 11. The second was scheduled for May 18 on Waldo Field. Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 64 ---------- Vike, Hickey, McBeath, Lindsley, Miles Golf * Winning five out of six matches, the Viking golf team enjoyed the most successful season in the history of the sport at this school. Home and home matches were played with C. P. S., P. L. C., and the University of Washington. The Vikings opened their season on April 18, when they entertained the C. P. S. clubswingers on the Lakeway course and sent them home on the short end of a 91/2 to 51/2 victory. This was the first victory that the Normal golfers had ever scored over the U. of W. Following these two matches the local team journeyed to Tacoma for a two-day stay, where they met both the C. P. S. and Pacific Lutheran College teams. The first match was won by the Vikings by a 91/2 to 51/ score, over the Fircrest course, and the second by a 11 to 4 score, over the Parkland course. The next match for the locals was also played away from home when they met the University golfers in a return match over the heavily-trapped University course. This match resulted in the only defeat for the locals, and they came out on the short end of a 9 to 6 score. The final match of the season was with the Pacific Lutheran mashie-wielders on the local's home course and resulted in an easy win for the Normal. The personnel of the local team included Louis Hickey, Bun Miles, Clint McBeath, Paul Vike, and Bob Lindsley. The first three men named made a trip to Cheney where they competed for the Tri-Normal cham-pionship. The play was held on the Downriver course at Spokane, on Friday, May 18. Sixty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 65 ---------- Weythman George Jewell Women's Sports * Another successful year for the W. A. A. can be attributed to the W. A. A. Council and Miss Ruth Weythman, Miss Mildred Jewell, and Miss Lillian George, advisers. Miss Weythman has given time, energy, and interest to W. A. A. activities as adviser and coach of soccer, bad-minton, and archery. The success of hockey, volleyball, basketball, base-ball, and riding is due to the efforts and enthusiasm of Miss Jewell. The only all-year W. A. A. activity-hiking--is made possible by Miss George who led every hike on the 1933-34 schedule. The association, led by Donna Aisted, president, offered a program of ten seasonal sports to the women of the school. An all- school sailing trip to Viqueen Lodge, a puppet show, the skating party, tennis movies, and a canteen at Edens Hall were among other activities sponsored by the W. A. A. The high school Play Day, Field Day, and the quarterly sport banquets were other events which were part of the W. A. A. calendar. Although not sponsored by the club, speedball turnouts were made possible by active W. A. A. members. For the first time at Bellingham, girls have consistently turned out, coached, organized teams, played for championships, and refereed their own games without receiving awards for team membership. Speedball turnouts were attended by about six-teen girls, all W. A. A. members with two exceptions. These girls were eligible for team awards which go toward earning the white W sweater and W pin. To play speedball meant missing turnouts for some other sport which would count toward one of the higher awards. The success of the spring speedball season may indicate more sport and fewer awards in future W. A. A. activities. Sixty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 66 ---------- Badminton * Badminton, managed during winter quarter by Hazel Swisher, was probably the most popular individualized sport of the year. The game, played with rackets, and shuttlecocks, requires the players to be constantly alert, and ready for smashes, drives, or loss. Monday and Wednesday after- noons intra-mural and class games were played by singles and doubles teams on the three courts in the big gym. Soccer * Soccer turnouts were held last fall in spite of wind, rain, and a muddy field. Twice each week two soccer teams, coached by Miss Weythman and managed by Lois Hoagland, met on the field to prac-tice dribbling, passing, and punt-ing. Color team games and class games were played throughout the last four weeks of the soccer sea-son. Sixty-six Basketball * Two basketball tournaments managed by Phyllis Greely, made the winter basketball season the most successful in recent years. Five teams organized by houses and town players played for the intra-mural championship which was won by the "hashers." The class games were played for the first time by three teams; frosh, sophomores, and a new junior team. Hockey * Hockey, always a popular game, opened the 1933-34 sport season. Turnouts' managed by Dolly An-derson, began with drill and prac-tice in the fundamentals of the game. By mid-quarter two teams of players were playing intra-mu-ral games and at the end of the quarter class competition had in-creased the skill and speed of the players. The season ended victor-iously for the Sophomore-Junior team. ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 67 ---------- Baseball * The only spring sport involving team organization was baseball-played under the direction of Mary Thompson, manager, and Miss Jewell, coach. Two teams, cap-tained by Evelyn Theiss and Fran- ces Mayhew, played for the Intra-mural championship. The intra-mural games ended the eighth week of the quarter. Archery * An activity which brings new participants to the sport program is archery. Coached by Miss Weyth-man and managed by Theresa O'Malley, archery was sponsored as a spring sport. At the begin-ning of the quarter emphasis was placed on the techniques of string-ing the bow, drawing, holding, and releasing the arrow. Round robin, class, and inter-class tour-naments were held throughout the quarter. Tennis * Sixteen girls signed up for the W. A. A. tennis tournouts which began with four weeks of unsched-uled matches. Tennis tourna-ments, arranged by Loraine Shep-ard, coach, and Maxine Iddins, manager, began with a doubles tournament and ended with class and inter-class matches. Tennis brings more new participants to the W. A. A. program than any other sport. Play Day * Whatcom County High School girls played, sang, and danced with the members of the W. A. A. at the second annual Play Day held during spring quarter. Games, played by eight color teams; lun-cheon, presided over by "Winnie the Pooh"; badminton exhibitions, and tea in the Blue Room helped create play day spirit among high school girls, physical education instructors, and girls of W. A. A. S'xty- seven ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 68 ---------- Sweater Girls Athletic Conference * Each year the school recognizes outstanding participants in the women's sport program by award-ing them the white W sweater. The W. A. A. awards members of class teams the blue and white felt letter made to represent the different sports. The white W sweater represents eleven of these letters each of which symbolize a specific skill and membership on four all- star teams. Speedball * Two W. A. A. members, June McLeod and Marie de Gallier, and fourteen speedball players were responsible for the most unusual and probably the most successful of the girls' sports. Spring athlet-ics began, but without speedball as a W. A. A. activity; this meant no coach and no awards. These two problems were solved when sixteen girls signed up for speed-ball, regardless of awards. Sixty-eight * 1934 brought another Athletic Conference of American College Women to the Pacific Coast. The Santa Barbara State Teachers' College was host to delegates from women's athletic associations of Western colleges on April 5, 6, and 7. Donna Aisted, president, and Marie de Gallier, secretary, were chosen by the W. A. A. to represent this school at Santa Barbara. Hiking * The only W. A. A. activity which is sponsored during every quarter of the year is hiking. The hiking schedule included not only the Rocks, Chuckanut, Lake Padden, Toad Lake, but also bean-bakes, breakfast hikes, and cross country trips. During holiday sea-sons committees chosen by Theona Flick, manager, and Lottie Stev-enson, assistant manager, ar-ranged special parties. ~ _ I~ _ ~ ___ _ I__ _ _ ~ _ ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 69 ---------- Volleyball * Manager Leona Trager reported over twenty girls signed up for volleyball at the beginning of fall quarter. Intra-mural games began the season. During the last half of the quarter a team of nine girls was chosen from the freshmen and a team of nine was chosen from the sophomores and juniors. Of these eighteen players, eight were voted members of the all-star team. Viqueen Lodge * On April 7th the W. A. A. sponsored an all-school sailing trip to Viqueen Lodge. The trip showed the possibilities of the Sinclair Island lodge to nearly ninety students and faculty mem-bers. The Lodge is located on a thirteen acre tract owned by the W. A. A. Two beaches provide fac-ilities for water sports and the as- sociation plans to improve the facilities for land sports. Field Day * June 2 was chosen for the an-nual W. A. A. Field Day. Games, luncheon, and program commit-tees under the leadership of Dot Isaacs, general chairman, com-posed the day's activities. The championship games in speedball and baseball, and the final arch-ery and tennis tournaments were scheduled in the morning. A lun-cheon in Edens Hall dining room closed the 1933-34 sport season. Riding * For the first time in four years the W. A. A. sponsored horseback riding. Each Tuesday evening of spring quarter between eight and twelve girls, accompanied by Miss Jewell, rode at Morningside Rid-ing Academy and Whatcom Falls Park. This year no riding team was chosen and no awards were made. The W. A. A. is sponsoring the activity in order to interest non-members and enable women students to learn to ride. Sixty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 70 ---------- * Many school activities are carried on by the various organ-izations. In these groups are drama, scholarship, athletic, and social science clubs, which sponsor lectures, receptions, in-formals, week- end trips, teas, hikes, and other affairs. The As-sociated Students is an all-stu-dent organization. The Klipsun and the Northwest Viking are the official publications of the school.

A new constitution was adopted which provided for the increase of the number of officers to the Board of Control from eight to eleven, three of this number must be women students in the school. This constitution will take effect next fall quarter. At the same time plans for the incor-poration of the student body were offered but these were rejected. The Board appointed a committee to rearrange the sports schedule and to communicate with other colleges on their opinions and experiences in making golf and tennis major sports. A new football coach, Mr. Charles F. Lappenbusch, was elected. The Mt. Baker club requested that the Students, constitutes the official executive and legislative organ of the F. Lappenbusch, was elected. Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 73 ---------- Board of Control OFFICERS SPRING QUARTER ORVIN MESSEGEE . . . . President CHRISTINE ALBERS .

They also appoint the chairmen of outstanding all-school functions and have charge of rec hours sponsored every week. The distribution of the school budget for each quarter is determined by the Board. Every quarter the Board has a banquet.

The initiation that the athletes administer is widely known as an instant cure for any form of "pansyness"-if the victims come out alive. And the dance which they manage is known as an instant cure for any form of "blueness." The smoker held during winter showed much prom-ise of champion pugilists.

This organization can always be depended upon to sup-port loyally every campus enterprise. Their zealous spirit is effective in spreading enthusiasm among the rest of the students. At every game a special section in the grandstand is reserved for these girls. At the homecoming assembly they presented the exciting "melodrammer" entitled "Wild Nell of the Plains." The all-school skating party sponsored by the Valkyrie during spring quarter, was one of the most "tumbling" successes on the social calendar.

Through four o'clock intramural and interclass sports, Saturday hikes, sponsorship of all-school boat trips, quarterly sports, luncheons, concessions and ushering the W. A.

Their programs are comprised of reviews of modern books, plays, and works of present day poets. They have been watching with interest the Russian experiment and at one of the meetings there was a display of the types of posters seen everywhere in the U.S.S.R. The Vanadis Bragi is one of the most active and wide-awake clubs on the campus. Its meetings are always well attended. The annual ban-quet was given during the spring quarter.

Each house has administra-tive officers, a social chairman, and a house reporter. Regulations are made, and housebooks are inspected at intervals, by the Dean of Women. Each year the Women's League presents banners for scholarship and accomplishment. Competition for these achievement banners is always keen; thus high standards are maintained. Men's houses are fewer in number but are prominent because of their activities. Much enthusiasm is shown each year in basketball and baseball seasons, when the houses enter teams in the intramural pro-grams. Hanson, Swanson, L. Lawrence, M.

After a harrowing initiation, in which future Thespians are temporarily deprived of their eyesight, they are allowed to participate in and appreciate the bi-monthly programs exploiting club talent. The "little red school house" assembly program exposing the pet idiosyncrasies of our faculty seemed to be "taken" nobly. At the beginning of the winter quarter the plan of having the whole club sit in on the dramatic, musical and stunt competitive tryouts was established. Then there was the dinner-dance honoring the neophytes at Chuckanut Shell, and later in the year a splash party at the Y.W.C.A. pool.

Each quarter when Mr. Hoppe calls for play recruits the Drama Club members not only put forth their best dramatic efforts but also their best sales- manship efforts to arouse non-members to enter the play try-outs. Any-one who gains a part in a play becomes a member of the club. Meeting time is devoted to study and interpretation of outstanding dramas and the discussion of current stage news.

The music depart-ment included in their extra-curricular program two practices a week of a mixed chorus; three practices weekly of the school orchestra; and an appointed time for a men's double quartette to get together. The response to all these musical activities proved that the school is not in the least lacking in musical ability and interest. In the winter quarter the size of the personnel of both the chorus and the orchestra reached its peak. The chorus included then about sixty voices, and the orchestra had about twenty-five members. Mr. Bushell, of the music department, was director of both. The personnel varied during the year, going down to forty-five and ten respectively at one time. It was necessary to reinforce the orchestra with outside, local musicians. However, the principal aim was to have an orchestra and chorus for students, that they might have the opportunity and experience of playing and singing in a group. When community singing assemblies were held, the members of the chorus gathered on the stage to show the student body "how" and to act as an incentive to timid souls. In one of the last assemblies of each quarter, the two organizations combined their accomplishments and gave very commendable demonstrations of their work. This is the first time that three quarterly specific assembly dates have been set aside for musical student groups. The orchestra also arranged special numbers for the Drama Club plays.

As Mr. Bushell stated about the department's third undertaking, "Although it was sometimes not so good, at least the school had a men's double quartette." The men who participated in this newly organized music group were: John Lensrud, Bob Hartley, Ted Abner, Frank Forstrom, Roger Mullen, Francis Fisher, Roy Johnson, Francis Fegley, Dan Botts, Boyd Swanson, Bill Allan, and Tim Lowe. The accompanist for the double quartette was Joe McFarland. The double quartette has been called upon to participate in pro-grams for a variety of entertainments, both on and off the campus. It was one of the highlights in the important school vanities production -- the "W" Club vodvil. For the primary purpose of participating in the Baccalaureate ser-vices for the June graduation a women's ensemble was organized. The turnouts for this organization have been voluntary and the members of the ensemble have not received any credit for their work. Rehearsals are held one night a week. This is outside regular school hours. An attempt was made to select voices that were best suited for four part harmony. The ensemble is comprised of twenty-one members. They are: Sopranos: Hurby, Looney, Christenson, Shay, Turner, Claypoole, White, Smith, Cryer, Conrad, and McKellar; Altos: Kraft, Pearl, Schuehle, Brock, Scott, Jock, Davidson, Ottem, and Price. The ensemble is under the direction of Mr. Donald Bushell.

C SCHOOL LIFE Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page [95] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 96 ---------- Rickerson Finley Harriet Rickerson * Harriet Rickerson, this year's feminine popularity contest win-ner, is a native daughter of Bell-ingham. She graduated from Whatcom High School in June, 1931, and entered Normal the next fall, this being her third year here. Even before winning the con-test she managed to keep in the public eye by virtue of her long list of activities, which includes: Three quarter representative to the Board of Control, Secretary to the Board, Valkyrie Club Pres-ident, and member of the Women's League Council. She is also a member of the Drama Club, and a Viking Staff writer, and has served on committees for several Infor-mals. As for her personality, it's one of the best; cheerful, friend-ly, and sympathetic. And, by the way, she plays championship ten-nis, dances well, and is a ranking ping-pong player. She also an-swers to the name "Hattie," but not if she can help it. Otto Finley * The "people's choice," as the most popular man on the Campus, is Otto Finley, of Lake Stevens, Washington, and points South. Before winning the contest, he became well known around school by virtue of being four quarter representative to the Board of Control, a football letterman, and a member of the Vanadis Bragi and "W" Clubs. Politics, athletics, and social activities are not his only interests, however, for he finds time to be an active member of the Scholarship Society. Otto's black, curly hair, and twinkling dark eyes qualify him for a prominent position in the young girls' fancy, but it would seem that the Chemistry and Physics lab is his first love. Almost every night he is to be found there, and if you should hear a mournful baritone wail drifting across the Campus, fear not for it is only our young friend unbur-dening his mind after a hard ex-periment. Ninety-six ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 97 ---------- Lensrud Kean Campus Day * This year, Campus Day was held on Tuesday, May 8, with Johnnie Lensrud as chairman. The entire day was devoted to en-tertainment instead of having half a day of work and half a day of play as has been the custom on previous occasions of this kind. The fun started at eleven A. M., with a vaudeville assembly, of which Melvin Munson was chair-man. Jack Burn's orchestra played and several vocal solos were given. At noon, lunch was served on Waldo field under the direction of Elizabeth Schuehle and her com-mittee. After the remains of the lunch had been cleared away, the field was used for an amateur track-meet, with the entire stu-dent body divided into teams com-peting against each other. These sports were directed by Walt Sinko who appointed several Color Cap-tains to assist him. The last and crowning event of the day was the dance, held in the Edens Hall din-ing room under the direction of Vaughn Howell, with music by Jack Burn's orchestra. Homecoming * On October 27 and 28 was cel-ebrated that great event in any school year, the annual Home-coming. With Tommy Kean as chairman, the festivities started on Friday evening with the usual serpentine through town followed by the Frosh Bonfire, and rec hour in the gym. Saturday, the Alumni lunch-eon at noon started the day, after which came the football game be-tween Bellingham and Ellensburg on Waldo Field, won by Ellens-burg, 6-0. Saturday night the celebra-tion wound up with the dance at the Armory of which DonnaAisted was chairman. This dance was somewhat unusual since the music was furnished by Lyle Markhart's band from Seattle. At Midnight, Saturday, an-other Homecoming was ended with everyone agreeing that a big vote of thanks was due Tommy and his aides for their splendid job in presenting something just a little different in the way of such occasions. Ninety-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 98 ---------- A RE YOU LISTENING? Gossip! Scandal! News! B. S. N. S. * Gossip is food for the multi-tudes. It costs nothing. It has a spicy taste. Colleges make a diet of it. And the B.S.N.S. 1933-34 student is no different than the average. LET'S GO! ... BILLIE MILLS has been seen throughout the year with a honey colored blonde named LEW ENG-LISH who plays the bass or some-thing or other in JACK BURN'S orchestra. A stunning couple ex-cept when W.S.C. sends her col-legians home for holidays. MELVIN MUNSON, the lad who had charge of the Campus Day assembly, has been draping him-self over post, steps, floors and chairs, while waiting for his SHUTE. You see, Campus Day was a god-send to him this year. It sent him shootin' along with SHUTE. For a major part of the year, Jane Kindall had played her part in keeping the tradition of col-litch romance alive. What with GORDIE RICHARDSON, PATSY ALLAN, ELWYN PYM, AND FRANKIE PRATT, the Kindall residence has been a vurry busy place. Yowsah! OTTO FINLEY sings like an angel. To look at the innocent countenance of one of the Nor- mal's most popular students one would never guess that there was hidden talent in them thar gills. The sky-line trip this year was perfect. There was a good day; there were good slides; there was good food and there was good chatter. SINKO talked Polish for the folks after a little coaxing. Once when LILA looked at an-other fella, he talked Polish with-out coaxing--but that's neither here nor there. We hear that JUNE WELCH, who has spent her time this year going steady with BILL REED, went riding on a Tandem not long ago. What with long skirts, long hair and bicycles a feller'll have to watch out going around corners soon for them bussle things. What's this world coming to? And INEZ SWANSON, who works in the office, has been hith- Ninety-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 99 ---------- ARE YOU LISTENING? er and thither this year with LES ABSHIRE, who makes a becom-ing background for her easy non-chalance and Spanish type of beauty. Following is an authentic list of the cradle roll for male stu-dents at the Bellingham State Normal School: JACK CLAY-POOLE, who is a nice youth in spite of his meager years. STAN GILLIES, who would look good at any age. HAROLD FITZER, big shot basketball star who has been HELEN PYBUS' pride and joy for the past year. WAYNE HOFFMAN, who has forty years' worth of love and romance in his soul, and all of it for ELEANOR ST. PIERRE. KAY LIVESEY, red-head local whirlwind, had the golf team's major factor shooting high, but with a pretty difficult handicap in the form of DON RICHARDSON. POSY FLOWERS has been do-ing an adequate Mary and her little lamb with EVELYN LAR-SON playing Mary very well thank you. Ex-Prexy of the A.S.B., JAWN CHRISTY still writes unpublished volumes of poetry and prose to a small, dark co-ed from the Uni-versity of Washington, School of Pharmacy. And the present administration isn't doing so bad with his SHAF-FER, either. No such column as this would be complete without mentioning that lung-tearing, St. James In-firmary Blues yodeling wonder of the bright lights, BILL ALLAN. He's been Junior-Senior prexy this last year, when he wasn't singing, dancing or strolling with EDDIE CHRIST. SOLLIE, who played the Lady Known as Lou in the famed "W" Club Vodvil on May 11, had a seige of playing Tarzan, right af-ter that picture hit town. He ter-rified the women and children up and down High street with his weird shrieks. The harmony ac-companiment was rendered by none other than the Dorm Prexy, E. SCHUEHLE. And all in all, folks-the year has been a grand one for dirt chasing, news spreading public enemies. Good luck, and so long.

I ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 106 ---------- Assemblies * A great variety of programs have been offered in the assemblies of the past year. Speakers, musicians, plays and pictures have met with the apparent approval of the student body. Notable among the lecturers were: J. J. Hansaker of the National Council for the Prevention of War, who spoke on the need of International Peace; Maurice Hindus, author of "Red Bread" and "Humanity Uprooted," whose talk about the existing conditions in Russia was interspersed with clever and picturesque sketches of Russian peasants; Arthur Bingham, editor of "Common Sense;" Captain Gypsy Pat Smith drew a verbal picture of "The Rom-ance of a Romany Camp," telling of his boyhood in Scotland; and Dean Vernon McKenzie, of the University of Washington faculty. The first concert of the year was offered by Miss McPhetridge, a young and talented violinist who recently won a contest with other Northwest musicians. Directed by Paul Engberg, a group of singers rendered bits from comic opera and received considerable applause from the audience. Howard Halbert, violinist, and Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist, both from Oregon, played in one of the spring assemblies. Beyond doubt, one of the best received programs of the past three quarters was that presented by the Royal Bell Ringers of Seattle. The scores of different sized bells and thin glass goblets rang and echoed in pleasing tunes. Mr. Hoppe read "Both Your Houses" in the fall and another play during the spring quarter. "No More Frontier" was reviewed by Preston Wright, a former student here. The Play Production class gave a play, "Age of Innocence." An old country school was portrayed by the Thes-pian Club in their annual Christmas assembly. Colored lantern slides of the Century of Progress World's Fair at Chicago, were shown by F. Stanley Piper, local architect. Pictures were also shown of the national forest and parks. Student talent was provided for several regular assemblies. One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 107 ---------- Lectures and Concerts * Normal is fortunate in being able to have so many men of note come to Bellingham. Some of these people attract so many outsiders that it is impossible to have the lecture or concert in the regular assembly. Among the first of these was Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Wisconsin's Jr., famous law-maker who is America's youngest senator. He spoke on November 6 on the subject "What the Progressives are Fight-ing For." On October 13, Michio Ito, internationally celebrated Japanese Artist appeared at Normal with his company of six well-known solo dancers, Lillian Powell, Marjorie Booth, Waldeen, Betty Jordan, and Warren Crosby. During the spring quarter, Howard Scott, director-in-chief of Tech-nocracy Incorporated, more commonly known as Technocrat No. 1, spoke on the ideas of his group. A capacity crowd gathered to hear what he had to offer. Besides the evening concerts, musical selections have been featured in several regular assemblies. Mrs. Nan Dybdahl Wiik, young Norwegian soprano, presented a recital accompanied by Mrs. Anton Buedall. John Hopper, noted musician and accompanist, entertained with a piano recital. Mr. Hopper acquired his fame through his ability in ac-companying. He has played with many of the most famous of the world's singers. More music was offered throughout the year by the music de-partment's mixed chorus of forty-two voices. They were directed by Donald G. Bushell, head of the department. He is also director of the twenty-one piece orchestra which played at many of the school affairs. Under the direction of Lowe Bartruff, the Bellingham Women's Music Club presented a program in one of the April assemblies. A soprano, a baritone, and a flute solo were offered by guest artists of the club. In another assembly, Victor DePinto received much applause for his violin interpretation of several of the old numbers by early Italian composers. One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 108 ---------- Fisher, Miles, Starlund, McKay Dances * A large and important part of the social life of any college, centers around the dances which are sponsored by various clubs, classes and organizations throughout the year, and in this our school is no exception. The first event of this type held this year, was the annual fall mixer, which was held as usual on the first Tuesday evening after the opening of school in the Edens Hall dining room. Peggy McKay was chairman of this affair. The next big dance on the Calendar was the "W" Club informal, in the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold. Jack Faulkner served as chairman for this dance. The next week-end brought the quarterly informal of the Women's League. The theme of this dance was "Dogs." Chairman Lillian Benner-strom and her committee arranged dogs of every size and description about the Crystal Ballroom. The refreshments were served from a min-iature dog-house, and the programs were tiny red and white dogs. During fall quarter also, were given Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior-Senior class parties in the big gym. Although these are called class parties, they take on the appearance of an all-school dance, since the entire student body is invited. Winter quarter also had its quota of dances with the winter mixer of which Elizabeth Caulkins was chairman. More class parties, and Men's Club and Women's League Informals followed. Both of the latter were held at the Hotel Leopold. Norman VanOver served as chairman of the Men's Club dance, while the Valentine informal of the Women's League was managed by Mary Fisher. The usual quarterly Mixer was suspended Spring quarter and in its place was held an evening rec hour, but the other dances during the spring more than made up for the loss. Although the usual informals were lacking, every week an evening Rec Hour was held, and the classes held parties; the Campus Day dance and the All-School picnic dances were the outstanding large dances of the quarter. One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 109 ---------- W Club Smokers * The privacy of the gentlemen of the school has been disturbed. The fairer sex has invaded the sanctuary of the "W" club's smokeless smokers. "Time was when men met men at these affairs, but them days is gone forever." An open invitation was extended to the student body for the winter quarter affair held in the little gym. Boxing and wrestling thrilled many a lad and lassie. The only real triumph was won by Toby who downed Eddie Hudson. All of the other ring battles ended in draws. After the brawls were over, Bob Becken sang and Aubrey Lundberg ate fire with apparent relish. Playing to an appreciative audience, the "W" club put on their spring vodvil. Grandpop Miller told Baby Zwaschka all about what hap-pened to the students of Western Washington College of Education. Aubrey Lundberg sent shivers up and down many a sturdy backbone with his grotesque contortions. Dainty chorus girls from Daniels' Hall tripped the light fantastic in a grand and glorious leg show. The contribution of Barton's was a musical opera with Cal Davidson as Abdul Abulbul Amar and Ivan Lar-son was Skintaviski Skavar. Music was offered by the boys' double quartet and by Harriet Ox-ford accompanied by Celest McAlpine, Bob Becken lived up to his name of the warbling Dutchman with Sibyl Richardson officiating at the baby grand. Tony Guiseppe Aristophanes Zambas sang his national anthem in his native tongue. The shooting of Dan McGrew took place in the saloon with the homelike atmosphere run by Bartender Ames. Coy little Miss Ault served drinks and the painted women Lily Flowers and the lady that's known as Lou Sollie entertained the tired miners. Arne Johnson as Dangerous Dan and Ray Dunnigan as the stranger fought bullet for bullet in the famous battle. Much applause was awarded the breathtaking antics of the three tumblers from the Y.M.C.A., Clive, Clark McAllister and Walter Conner. One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1934 - Page 110 ---------- The Devil in the Cheese * Tom Cushing's "THE DEVIL IN THE CHEESE" was presented dur-ing the spring of 1933, by the Drama Club, under the direction of V. H. Hoppe. Melodrama and comedy were molded into a fine, well-acted pro-duction. The difficult stage sets proved the ability of the technical crew to meet all demands, from a Greek monastery to a cannibal island.

So it was that the Drama Club decided to present "THE TAMING OF THE SHREW," which was presented to an appreciative audience on February 28 and March 1, 1934. As director, Mr. Hoppe deserves much credit for the smooth running of this five-act comedy.
