XXVIII—NO. 24- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Christmas Party Put on by Board of Control .Today, is, the tenth anniversary lot ''Nornialite'% That is, it appeared for the first /time just ten weeks ago for the main ; purpose of bringing yon a few features of interest, unusualities, and .sidelights of what was happening on other.. Normal., and.. Teacher's College 'campuses in this country. But nothing happened! At least these publications fail to record them... All is news. Features are just not found anywhere in them. Little stories of close human interest gushing forth bright, crisp, and colored bits of life are missing in all Normal school newspapers.. ' Consequently it was necessary to draw from our bigger brothers, the gt; college and university papers. Fortunately even minor college journals of this state are humane, and present all sides of student life. Big college dailies do... And we certainly aim to. That then is the only reason that' you can expect to find more instances of college features than those relating to Normal schools. Gavel and Pulpit Club Downed in Semi-finals or Intramural Debate by Vanadis Bragi Club. VANADIS BRAGI NEGATIVE Committee of Judges Choose the Best Speakers to Represent in Intercollegiate Contest. -W. S. N. S.- What does the average college man or woman want for Christmas? This was one test question that was easily answered by scores of dorm co-eds an dmen at the Washington State College just the v other day. From their lists, silk stockings ranked first, of course, with jewelry running a close second. Memory books and diaries were . other favorite requests, as were books, stationery, perfume and silk underwear. The only unusual requests were for a washrag, soap, French doll, a teapot, flashlight and candy boxes. One co-ed (gold-digger?) demanded a gold piece; and, one distinctly stated "NOT CANDY." The ideal wish of the boys of the school Was an automo- ' bile, but they know they will get their conventional handout of socks, ties, and handkerchiefs. — — W . S. N. S. — .."

S . —— Hey-deys of college. , athletics, when the brawny men had to be coached through their studies and professors had to be inveighled into handing out passing grades, seem to be gone. That out of all the six-week notices of poor work recently sent out by the registrar's office at the University of Washington, not one was addressed to any man turning out f6r freshman or. varsity sports, was the unprecedented fact brought to Ught by Earl Campbell,., graduate manager, there. V W. S. N. S.- Georgia Tech is getting ready to send its champ eleven over to Rose Bowl in Pasadena to settle the annual East-West supremacy in football, to be played New Year's. W. S. N. S Our friends across the Pacific pond were finally beaten last Saturday when they were outsmarted by the University of Denver, 13 to 12. These powerful Hawaiians won over the Los Angeles Occidental College, a week ago and are looking forward to their battle with the crack squad of the University of Oregon gt; slated for Christmas Day at Honolulu. Monday evening at 7 o'clock in room 119, the Vanadis Bragi defeated the Gavel and Pulpit club in the semi-finals of the intra mural debates. The Vanadis Bragi, upholding the negative side of the question. Resolved "That a Constitutional Amendement be adopted giving our Congress exclusive power to regulate marriage and divorce in the United States." marked the fourth win for that side as against none for the affirmative. The Vanadis Bragi's team was composed of Wallace Gruwell, Lyle Summers and Curtis Bell who were opposed by Oren Tarbox, Ethel Hendricks and Philip Davis from the Debate club. In the second week in the next quarter the finals of the interclub debates will be held. The Vanadis Bragi will meet the independent team composed of Robert Cooper. Arthur Cram and Stanley Craft. An attempt will be made to have the finals take place in the assembly as a program. If this is not possible they will be held some evening in the auditorium. Judges Choose. A committee of all-school judges composed of Miss Nora . Cummins, Miss Alma Madden and Mr. Herbert E. Fowler picked from those who participated in the debates the best speakers who would represent the Normal in intercollegiate competition. The members of all school team was chosen without regard to whether .they participated in more than one debate or their team won. They were judged upon quality of delivery, and style and manner of presentation of material. The following who were chosen to serve on the team either as regulars or alter-team were chosen without regard to ranking of the judges: Rose Brown; Lyle Summers; Stanley Craft; Arthur Cram; Helen Fitzwater; Ethel Hendricks^ Frieda Massey; Edith Dyer; Robert Cooper and Curtis Bell. Miss Alma Madden, sponsor of this activity, declares that its results have been'extremely successful. . Much good material has been discovered and developed that will be' available and' useful in school debates. Debate U. of W. Frosh. The first debate that has been scheduled is one with the University of Washington freshmen which will take place here March 5. The question the men will debate is: Resolved: "That trial by jury of twelve men be abolished and trial by three judges be substituted." The girls will debate at a later date on ;the question: Resolved: "That a plea of temporary insanity in defense of crime be prohibited." • A real Christmas party was put on by the Board of Control last 1 Wednesday night for the school at large, beginning at Y:30 in the auditorium: with a program and presents from Santa Claus, and ending in an hour of dancing in the big gym. This Christmas party is an annual affair in Normal school and in fact, has become a tradition. Jean Marquis who was general chairman of the party, prepared a unique entertainment which took place during the first hour of the affair. This program included the singing of Christmas songs in which everybody took part; selections from Dickens' "Christmas Cardl" by Victor H. Hoppe; "The First Noel" and "Christmas Time is Coming"; by the- Kitchen Krew quartet; and the distribution of • gifts by Santa Claus (BUI Mock). Stark's orchestra furnished the music for the hour of dancing, which took the place of the last *rec" hour of the quarter. The party closed at 10:15 and the students and faculty left for home joyfully laden with gifts. o SMITH IS LEADER Ambitious -. program Is Presented by Bellingham - Kittle Symphony; Directing- Is Very Finished.

L AT F Edens Hall Sophomores Establish Christmas Tradition of Caroling; Freshmen Get Breakfast. „ A chorus of sixty high, sweet voices rang out in the cold, clear morning air. Sixty earnest young faces were reflected dimly in the soft, flickering light of the candles, Christmas Caroling. Sunday morning at five o'clock the Sophomore girls of Edens Hall, each carrying a tall, red candle, and singing Christmas Carols, singing earnestly and joyously, filed slowly through the silent halls of the dormitory. The home of President C. H. Fisher was the first visit. From there the,girls went to the homes of all the faculty members on the hill, winding their way along the streets of Garden and Forest, joining in groups beneath windows and singing the beautiful Christmas Carols of all times. This picturesque and stately little group was often pleasantly greeted with the sight of candles burning in the windows as a request for the return of the singers. At eight o'clock the trail of song was again caught at Edens Hall and the carolers returned to be greeted by a delicious, hot breakfast served by the Freshman girls. The tables were delightfully arranged with streamers of red and green, Santa Clauses and tiny Christmas trees, all glowing in the soft candle light. The waitresses were pert in their little French caps and ruffled aprons. Santa distributed gifts with a lavish hand and there was much excitement, confusion and happiness. The guests of the morning were: Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Adele The Bellingham Little Symphony orchestra made its debut before a vast audience of appreciative listeners last Tuesday night, December 18, in the First Christian church. Although the program presented was an ambitious one, it was superbly done and is certainly a high compliment to the directing of Harold B. Smith, chairman of the music department of the Bellingham Normal school. Judging from this first appearance of the Bellingham Little Symphony, a brilliant future may easily be predicted. Selections Enjoyed. The numbers rendered by the vocalists, G. Donald Gray, baritone and Sidney Dixon, tenor, both of Seattle drew great applause from the audience. The closing number of the program was Edward Elgar's martial composition, "Pomp and Circumstance" which is always a favorite in any audience. "Pierrot" and "Pierrette" by Hadley were also pronounced quite bewitching by general opinion. o EXECUTIVES STAY Chichester, Appleton, and Arnett Reappointed; Application Must be Made for New Board Member.

When our gifts to the needy make such a huge pile? We stop to wonder and linger awhile— In our hurry. No more the gay tree behind a drawn curtain, We trim them and put them outside to be certain, Sad eyes will brighten and smile just because His Birth touched our hearts and made us pause— In our hurry. H E A T A Normal school, above all others, should have more perfect conditions to work under than other institutions. It should be a model of its lund to the students training to be teachers, because it is there that they get their most vivid impressions of the correct procedure in the school room, where they will later teach and carry out the ideas with which they Have been indoctrinated. A child, we are taught in Psychology, will follow the examples set by its elders. - Psychologists have determined by many thorough tests that the best temperature conducive to the most vigorous mental effort and stimulus is about 6 8 degrees Fahrenheit. Combined with this there should be a steady influx of fresh air of even temperature. Many of the rooms in this building are frigidly cold for eight o'clock classes while in the after-noon the same room is oppressively hot. Often students try to regulate the temperature by opening windows but this simply is irregular and very unsatisfactory. - W i t h a little attention to the matter by the school authorities and the co-operation of he janiors much of his evil could be remedied and he students given more wholesome and healthy atmosphere in which to work.* — P . L. H . W O R K P R O G R AM Dr. Frank Crane, world famed journalist and educator who died recently left an article that should be of interest to psychologists and students, on efficiency of the functioning of the brain at different periods of the day. ' - ;, He says that from eight to twelve o'clock in the forenoon the highest efficiency of the day is reached. After noon there is a marked depression in the ability to learn and retain facts, while from six to nine in the evening a mental second wind,is reached in which we can work with more Vigor r a f t e r that a decline sets in again. Students should take advantage of these changes in arranging their daily tasks, working upon the most difficult ones in the morning. ." • ° ~ " "^ A M A T T E R O F T I ME ; In. this busy work-a-day world one is continually confronted with the problem of frying to find time to do the many things he would like to do.

Bob sped toward the library where a meeting would surely take place. * Ah! through the semi-fog loomed an individual, perfectly dressed in dark suit, o'coat, and derby. Gloves, spats, a cane—surely we re living in a great age. Rushing forward, the peer of journalists (his mother still reads his stuff) slapped the exaulted visitor on his -right shoulder and smiled "Howdy, Guv!" Can you imagine the chagrin, the absolutely flushed feeling when this person turned out to be Bob Bick-ford just getting home from a par-chesi game of the previous evening? Undaunted, "Hard Lines" Robert dashed to the building of catalogued knowledge, reached for the handle of one of those thousand dollar doors and—ye gods! there was Dean Edmundson playing 'peek'. —and Roy Arnett was not in his shirt sleeves. Truly it was an occasion, this memorable day. Well, up to the main reading room went "H. L." Robert—there to await the great moment. Passed the time until 'most ten o'clock—Robert had waited as long as he could—he HAD to attend this class. Passing up this opportunity of a decade—a tete-a-tete (obs.) with* a governor, he raced back to the main building. A congested hall impeded rapid progress but the Smiler bowled (at least 250) through a cluster- of forms (no! I should not have said figur.es) and started up t he stairs as the last bell rang.

Henry Holt and 'jpo.:, New York, 1928. From the mouth of a Frenchman we have this story, spiced with the flavor of the.

He meets and falls in love with an American girl, Rosemary, who loves him. — The struggle between the old t r a ditions of the East and the new beliefs of the West takes place in this young prince. He learns a million hew things in a; day; dazzling things that "belong to Western" ideas and thoughts/His heritage is thrown into the background and he is caught by t he entanglements of these revolting thoughts. But finally he finds that he must mold the two ideas into a new knowledge, new ideals and ambitions of his own.

The Men's club has won two straight games and are sitting on top of the ladder. What is more singular, they are very' apt to stay right on top o fthe ladder for t he balance of the season. Their second ' win came last Thursday when the Men's club locked horns with the strong Kitchen Krew, runners up for the intramural title last season. Gather led the attack on the Krew with 10 points chalked up after his name. While for the Krew, Johnson and Moe tied for high point honors with five points apiece. , The intramural games are being played in the little gymnasium every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at four o'clock. These games are of much interest to the school and help to develop new material for the Viking teams.

The crowd straggle in by two's and three's, and sometimes, in single units, until the big gym is full of laughing, shouting, and joking basketball fans. The room is filled with a continuous roar. The roar increases to a shout. The home team comes onto the floor. They warm up by going in a circle and shooting baskets. Shrill yells penetrate the deeper rubmle. Here and there an exclamation calls attention to some noteworthy shot of a home player. Now come the visitors. A shout of welcome goes up. Is is much shorter than the first shout. The visitors warm up for a few minutes. Then a shrill whistle sounds. The two teams take their appoint ed positions. The crowd grows feeling between the two countries.
