APRIL, 1906 No. 6 EDITORIAL-THIRD YEARS We, the Third Years, present to the public this portion of the April issue of the Messen­ger. Our Staff is: Roy Goodell—Editor. May McLaughlin—Locals. Hazel Horn—Thespian. Roger Williams—Athletics. Charles Jones—Boys' Debating Club.. WHO READS THE JUNIOR ANNUAL? A thing which interests us all as Normal school students and future pedagogues is the effort being put forth by Mr. Schusman, superintendent of the schools of Whatcom County, for the betterment of the lighting and ventilating systems in our rural schools- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger He reports that only about seven per cent of them are properly lighted, and only six or seven have any system of ventilation. This evil he hopes to have practically overcome in five years. Let us hope other counties will follow Whatcom's example. The only thing which the Juniors and Seniors have thrown at each since the first of the year is the old hackneyed expression, "Originality." We hold that neither are very original unless they can think of something new. A most modest issue was the Junior Mes­senger! Poor little creatures; how delicate of other people's feelings they were? If you have been "slammed" in our issue, we can only say ' 'slamback.'' How very considerate! One would really expect though, to find some­thing after such a statement, but in vain have we searched, unless it is meant as a sort of an apology for the article begin­ning with these words: "Never in the history of the Bellingham Normal has that institu­tion had so many talented young men and women enrolled in one class" (the Junior class). This, indeed, might need an apology if the ridiculousness of the statement were not so self evident to the reader of the Mes­senger; even though they know nothing of the class characteristics from daily contact. Considerate Juniors don't feel so serious, for the public know well the old saying, "Who knowth not his own bazoo the same shall :not be heard." THESPIAN The Thespian Society met Friday, March 23d and the following program was render­ed: Ladies quartette, "Kentucky Babe," by Misses Osberg, Sullivan, Gilbert and Myers. Act I., from "The Rivals," was given and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The picturesque costumes added greatly to the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 rendering. The young ladies taking part were: Misses Wilson, Mansfield, Myers, Wal-strand and Williams. Miss Frances Hays, who acted as critic, complimented them high­ly. If you wish to enjoy an hour, visit the Thespians and see the strong work which they are doing. LOCALS Mr. Wilson, on his return from Seattle, gave the students an interesting talk about the Chinese. Everyone seemed glad when Mr. Wilson returned, for it was learned the Junior's prophecy had come true, but we see their minds have been restored to their normal conditions. Miss Montgomery addressed teacher's institute a t Everett, March 13th. After the rehearsal on the evening of the 15th of March, Miss Hogle delightfully sur­prised the Third Year class by giving them a "spread." Miss Eva Myers will leave school the first of April and go teaching. The old proverb, "When a man gets married his troubles begin," was broken for Dr. Bowman's have already begun. His house, on the corner of Ivy and Indian streets burned March 11th. The greatest loss was the furniture stored away for future use. An address was given in assembly by Mr. Forrest on, "Life Saving Stations." The Third Year class will make a practical illus­tration of Mr. Forrest's suggestions by tak­ing a trip, in the near future, to some of the islands. Everyone enjoyed the program given in assembly by a few members of the Oral Ex­pression class. Those taking part were: Miss Ethel Cook, Miss Nord and Miss Eva Myers. Miss Hogle went to Seattle to see the ex- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger hibits of the "Arts and Crafts Association" and to inspect the work of the public schools of that city. Dr. Mathes has returned from his trip to Eastern Washington. The old saying that the Third Years never do things by halves is still good. Their St. Patrick's reception given March 19 was one of the most enjoyable social functions of the season. Even Demosthenes of old awoke and attired himself in green for the occasion. The guests were first taken to the auditorium where the following program was rendered: Piano Solo Ethel Cook *-* e-™" is, ssr^ssr"1 Recitation Ina Long Male Ouartette JR o y G o o d e l l gt; L e o n Cory Male quartette j M r T i b b l e S ) H F S m i th Piano Duet Misses Smith Vocal Solo Eva Myers Farce "An Interrupted Proposal" Class Song. After the program the guests dispersed to the different rooms, where they were enter­tained by the class. Ice cream and cake was served. The Third Years are going to have a good time. A trip to the islands and a moonlight excursion are now being planned. Our former Editor-in-Chief, Miss Sarah Van Reypen, is now teaching at Albian. The best wishes of the entire school go with her in her new vocation. Many of the students went to their re­spective homes during vacation, but are all back again "hard at work." A picnic is being planned by a committee made up of students and faculty for the en­tire Normal Schools. This outing is to be at Glacier. Every body is expecting to have a glorious, good time. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 ATHLETICS BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM TOP ROW: Cory, Forward; Nichols, Guard; Pethran, Forward; Scannell, Mgr. BOTTOM Row: Foerschler, Forward; Goodell, Center; Williams, Guard. The basketball season is over and the boys will no longer be seen at their practice. The team was the best that ever represented this school; and the boys were very much disappointed in not being able to secure games with some other Sound teams. How­ever, out of the six games played they were never defeated. Five players were selected at the beginning of the year, and all held their position through to the last game. Never before has so much interest been mani­fest by both the students and faculty. The last game was played between the Third Year class team and the High School reg­ular team, and was for the purpose of prov­ing to the High School, t h a t although the Third Year class had been ruled out of the Doig Cup contests they had a team which could defeat anything in the city. The score at the end of the game stood 18 to 14 in favor of the Third Years and the High School went home real­izing that they had met with defeat three times at the hands of the Normal boys. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger Much interest is being displayed in the Kline Cup contests. Out of the five teams competing, the cup now lies between three: the Second Years, Juniors and Seniors. Two more games will decide who shall win the cup and the championship of the school. Al­though nothing positive can be stated it is generally believed, by close followers of the games, that either the Juniors or Seniors will win. The Second Years have been defeated by both of the other teams. In the last games the Juniors won from the Second Years with a score of 18 to 9 and the First Years, after having lost the game by default, won from the Seniors with a score of 6 to 5. This is the second time the First Years have lost by default, and afterwards won the game. The first time was with the Juniors. TENNIS The interest in tennis is awakening and as soon as the courts are in condition a large number of students will spend their leisure moments in the open air instead of in the gymnasium. BASE BALL Now that the basket ball season is com­ing to a close and the bright spring days are here, the boys are turning their attention to base ball. Several of last year's players are back, and some very valuable new material has come in. Williams, Nichols, Petheram and Goodell are old men, tried out, and made very good with the Normal last year. With this material the boys expect to turn out a team which will hold its own with any in the city. The only thing which will hamper the success of the boys will be the lack of grounds upon which to do their practice work. Nine of the Gammua Phis who were stranded in Bellingham during vacation were delightfully entertained at the summer home of Miss Helen Miller at Rusticana on Lake Whatcom. On Saturday morning, laden with blankets and provisions, the girls wended their way to "Chapless Camp," where they re­mained till Monday evening. Canoeing and dancing filled the fleeting hours. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 BOYS' DEBATING CLUB The Young Men's Debating Club, which was organized a little over a year ago by about a dozen young men, now includes in its membership all of the boys in the Normal and is known as one of the strongest, if not the strongest, literary society in the school. The boys exert every energy in order to make their meetings interesting and lively as well as instructive. Their meetings are open to the public and are generally quite well attended by the rest of the student body. During the next month a number of the members of the faculty have consented to address the club on different subjects which will add new interest to the programs. On Thursday evening, March 29, the fol­lowing officers took their offices for a term of two months and afterwards a very enthusi­astic and interesting program was rendered, although a number of the members on the program were absent on account of the vaca­tion over Friday and Monday: Pesident, Chas. D. Jones; Vice-President, H. E. Bloyd; Secretary and Treasurer, Ray Smith; Sar-geant- at-arms, Paul Petheran; Program Committee, A. Robinson, R. Goodell and A. Anderson. Following is the program as rendered: Dialect recitation Magnus Peterson An interesting paper on Current Events R. Goodell Debate: Resolved, that the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution has been affirmed. Affirmative, E. Johnson and P. Scannel. Negative, R. C. Tibbels and H. F. Smith. The decision of the judges was rendered two to one in favor of the negative. After the debate E. A. Foerschler, Benton McClure, and Walter Nichols were called upon by the president to make impromptu speeches on topics of present interest to the public, which they handled with considerable skill, producing much laughter in the audience. At the business meeting Messrs. Fred ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 10 ---------- 16 The Normal Messeriget Johnson and H. E. Bloyd were unanimously chosen to take up the debate which is to be part of the program to be given sometime the last week of school by the classes in oral expression. The program will consist of a dramatical contest and this debate. THE CLASS OF 1911 EDITORIAL-FIRST YEARS In this, the April issue of the Messenger, we the First Years will endeavor to make this, our portion of the paper, as interesting as possible. Our Staff is: Bessie Stanton—Editor. Ruby Moss—Y. W. C. A. Olive Kale—Alkisiah. LOCALS We are very sorry to say that Carrie Smith, our president and basket ball manager has left school. The Misses Baldwin, Cowden, Hall and Finch were very cordially welcomed as mem­bers of our class this second semester. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ALKLSIAH By the work which the Alkisiah Club have been doing and are doing at the present time, they are surely carrying out what was planned for them in the beginning of the life of the club; namely, to read, discuss and learn about the great problems and questions of the day. The rendering of the last three programs are proof of this. The programs on Juvenile Courts and Roycroft were especi­ally interesting and instructive. They con­tained some things which awakened new and deeper thought. The club has realized that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so we have planned an outing or picnic for the near future. At the last meeting the following officers were elected for the coming ten weeks: Kate Long, President; Clara Perault, Vice-Presi­dent; Dolly Jennings, Secretary; Olive Kale, Treasurer; Gladys Patric, Reporter; Annie Nord and Carrie Peterson, Consuls. The election of officers takes place every ten weeks in order that all of the members may have the opportunity of holding office. A hearty welcome is extended to all fellow students and faculty. Y. W. C. A. The Normal students who are obliged to carry cold lunches, appreciate the delicious cocoa served daily by the Y. W. C. A. They also enjoy the variation, occasionally, of coffee and pie. This is only one of the phases of good work carried on by the energetic Y. W. C. A. girls. We are disappointed when we heard that Miss Gage, our new state secretary, would not make us her intended visit this spring. She felt that her work was more needed else­where than in Bellingham. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger The announcement of the marriage of Miss Margaret Kyle to Mr. E. E. Barber, will undoubtedly be of great interest to her many young friends in Bellingham. The ceremony-is to take place in Cambridge, Mass., on the 31st of March. The steamer Slavonia, which sails April 3d, will carry them part of their way to Italy where the}' will remain three months. On their return she will attend the Gearhart conference. FIRST YEAR NOTES FIRST YEAR BASKET BALL TEAM Senior (talking to freshie)— "I've looked in two books about horses and one says the first horses came from Arabia and the other says from Asia. Now how will I tell that to my class?" "Well," answered the wide-awake freshie, "Isn't Arabia in Asia? " Senior sore distressed! Landlady (to her Senior roomer)—"I have just discovered that you have a sixteen candle power light in your room. How is that, when the rest of us in the house only have an eight power? " Senior — "We are studying 'Browning' now" replied the guilty one, "and I just have to have it to shed more light on the subject.'^ ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 EDITORIAL-SECOND YEARS The motto "Launched but not anchored," could be very aptly applied to the Sophomore class. This, our second year of work, is near-ing its close, and though our class is few in numbers its association throughout the past year has been characterized by the class spirit and enthusiasm which is usually seen in the Sophomore class of all schools. Among our achievements in the social line was a class party and this we hope soon to follow by others equally as enjoyable. Our class officers which you will see in the front row in the picture, are President, H. E. Bloyd; Secretary, May McCrait; Treasurer, Mary Jacobson; Vice-President, May McCall. Our Editorial staff for this issue of the paper consists of: Editor—Miss Call. Reporters—Misses Wahl, Olson, Nord and /Rowley. Hurrah for the Crimson and Gray! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger CLIONEAN The Clionean seems to be the favorite society in the school. It is now the largest and is continually increasing in its member­ship. The society has done some very good work in the past and hope to continue the same in the future. The last two programs rendered were both very interesting and well given, consisting of musical numbers, essays and recitations. THE SIRIUS The Sirius Literary Club has been doing excellent work during the past month, and has made commendable progress in the direc­tion of the high aim which it has set. The newljr-elected officers have proven themselves very able in administering the affairs of the society and are by their example awakening much interest and enthusiasm which bids fair to make the remaining meet­ings of the year very beneficial. SECOND YEAR BASKET BALL TEAM SECOND YEAR NOTES OUS BASKET BALL TEAM During the first few months of school the Sophomores were a quiet class, and stood calmly by, listening to the noisy prattle of the other classes. By-and-by the basket ball fever struck the school. It is very contagious and the Sopho- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 mores "caught" it. Previous to this, a great wind had swept over the class and blown the chaff off towards the Third Years. The few good kernels that remained decided that they would have a team, and they did. Inspired by the taunts we received, we went into the games with much the same spirit as our forefathers of Revolutionary days, and though we have never boasted about our team, it has made a very creditable showing, being the only one of the elementary class teams that could enter the final contests. The line-up is as follows: May Call, Rose Williams, Forwards; Annie Nord, Center; Frances Daly, Mable Spencer, Guards. The Second Year Class congratulate them­selves on being the proud possessor of a real young man. He is the only one of the "Sec­ond Year boys" who is true to his colors. The others seem to favor "orange and black," (striking contrasts are apt to attract child­ren. S. C. We regret the loss of Miss Wooldridge from our ranks. Cheer up little freshies Mother loves you 'tis true, But she isn't here to comfort you So please don't Boo Hoo! SENIOR NOTES On the evening of March 23, 1906, at the hour of 8 o'clock, the brave and learned Juniors assembled at the north door of the Normal building, where they were met by several "backward" Seniors. The Juniors naturally very forward, became in turn very "back­ward" at the sight of several stalwart policemen with vigorous clubs, so much so, indeed, that they mounted the stairs to the Society Hall in a very becoming and "back­ward" manner. The Juniors, however, soon recovered their usual habit of "forwardness" and although not all were able to "get their money's worth," yet they generally expressed themselves as having spent a very pleasant evening. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS - = KERN'S = - PURE ICE CREAM AND CANDIES WE CATER TO PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PARTIES FANCY ICE CREAM FROZEN PUDDINGS WATER ICES INDIVIDUAL MOULDS PHONE MAIN 2SB1 11B W.
