XXIX—NO. 41 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 9, 1930 I I Nortnalite HOBBY CLUBS MOTHER'S DAY NATIONAL PASTIME YE DAIRY BOB WALTERS Teaching Profession Augmented By Eight;/ Two Reappointments We read of the value of keeping the children in the grades and high school well occupied in some useful ventures and thus keeping away the thought and tendency toward crime, t h a t come with idle hands. In the big cities this is fairly well handled by special staffs of game instructors and so on. But in the smaller com-munites much of this is lacking. With the aid of some of the professors, in a short time.here at school, t h e students could work out various ideas for hobby clubs and other ideas that would prove useful for the future teacher in giving pupils something to occupy themselves with outside the classroom. W. S. N. S. We have listened to articles and orations on the "punk coffee at the dorm." Then on the other side we hear the statement that the best grade of coffee is being used, and used in the best way. Why not bring a representative up (he'll gladly come) from the coffee concern, and get him to check and see if the coffee is being made in a manner to get its true flavor into the drinker's cup? Then both can forever hold their peace. W. S. N. S. Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment Bureau has made several appointments during the past week. Vivian Tubbs will teach grades 5 to 6 in Chinook, Vera Lahti has been re-elected as teacher of the third and fourth grades in Springdale, and Clarence Ragan and Beatrice Sturgis will teach grades five to eight, and 1 to 4, respectively, in East Sunnyside. Louis Bassett has been re-elected as teacher of a rural school at Harstine, Bertha Herold will teach the fifth and sixth grades in O'Brien, and Harold Ruthruff will be the superintendent of the Glenoma school. Buryl Bailey has been appointed principal of the Pleasant Valley school and will also teach grades 5 to 8. Harold Rush is to teach grades 5 to 8. Harold .Rush is to teach English in the Junior high school at Port Townsend, Margaret Pender has grades 1 to 4 at the McRae school, and Irene Mc- Kenna will teach the sixth and seventh grades in Falls City. o INTEREST IN VODVIL SHOWN IN RESPONSE FROM ORGANIZATIONS Eleven Different Groups Sign for Tryouts in Annual Vodvil To Be Held On Next Thursday. Under Direction of Victor H. Hoppe the Play Cast Is Swinging Into the Gait of a Finished Show. Occasionally we stop to closely examine what is on the bulletin board, besides the official morning edition, and often find posted a lot of ballyhoo about some small college or nor-may school having a summer session. —-W. S. N. S. As far as a very large per cent of us are concerned, the ravings over t h e beauty of the section might just as well be saved, also the postage stamp and the nice glazed paper that it is printed on. Wouldn't it be nice to gaze upon a big printed sheet alongside of that blaring out, "the Normal nestled among the evergreens, with broad sloping terraces down to the smooth, shining waters of Paget Sound—come take in one of these summer sessions?" W. S. N. S. Sunday is Mother's Day.' Letc have a champion step out amongst us and start a campaign. One that would induce everyone at Norma] school to send at least a card home to the "sweetest one." And thereby have, a Normal 100-per-cent Mother's Day remembrance. W. S. N. S.-J— The National pastime is in season here at Normal. To you that have never heard of the Nation's favorite sport pastime, we mean baseball It might be a National drawing card, but we doubt that it rates very high here at Normal. During football season everyone moaned over the slackness in attendance at the opening game, which was a walkawaj practice affair. W. S. N. S. At the opening baseball game last Saturday, and openers usually draw big, the crowd was unsually small, even for Viking crowds. Maybe it is a National pastime, with "hot dogs, sody pop, cr-racker jack, and peanuts" on the side, in some of the big towns, but they seem to prefer either basketball or football here at Normal. W.

APPLICATIONS To consider the granting of life diplomas, the Life Diploma Committee has been holding .frequent meetings. Up to date two hundred and forty-five applications have been received. Several more meetings will be necessary in order to go over all the applications. _o MISS BUCHOLZ GRADUATES Miss Ruth Bucholz, former secretary of President Fisher, has completed a course at the University of California and is now graduating from the Senior class • of that institution. Miss Bucholz had been here for a number of years serving as secretary to both Dr. Nash and Dr. Waldo, former presidents of this school, as well as to President Fisher. The cast of th eDrama Club play is rapidly shaping up for the showing of Philip Barry's brilliant American comedy, "The Youngest," which will be given May 22 and 23. Miss Lou Griffin, playing the leading female role of Nancy, is giving a fine interpretation of the gay, young society girl adept at molding men to her will. Opposite her, playing the repressed, impressionable and boyish role of the Youngest, is Tom Durham, as Richard Winslow, who is putting real fervor and charm into the role. Quentin Quick, as Oliver Winslow, the pompous head of the family, square-toed, heavily moral and humorless, is making a real Babbit out of the part. Jean Philippi, as the cultured and conventional mother, is'very adequate in her concept of the wealthy woman, rather bewildered with the frankness and blunt-ness of the younger generation. Mrs. Lulu DuBois, bringing the production seasoned ability from many rich experiences in Little Theater, gets the catty, bored quality of the young society matron in an unusually delightful fashion. Lew Lovegren, playing Mark Winslow, adds to the entertainment a touch of negligent elegance typical of the ladies' man. Bernadine Brown, as the irrepressible college girl, is crisp, cool, droll, and modern. Charles Dewey, as Alan, the lawyer brother-in-law, suggests the serious, fine restrained, normal sort of fellow. Virginia Howell, playing a small role as maid, is doing important work as assistant director and business manager. In accordance with past practice, an entire new stage setting is being designed and built by the Play Production class. The setting is a draw-ingroom interior with a variety of color and light, luxurious appointments, and a formal, yet graceful design. Phild Plans Made; Will Cruise to Olga Philos a-yachting will go when they take their week-end trip next Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, at Crescent Beach, on Orcas Island. They will sail Saturday noon on the yacht Thetis, and will return Sunday evening. While over there, the club will dance Saturday night at the hall, and there will be a climb up Mount Constitution for the "husky" Vikings. Club members may invite their friends, and there will be room for a few students who would like to take the trip. There is a list on the Philo bulletin and those wishing to go may sign on the paper. The cost of the trip, according to Al Brayas, president of the Philos, will be $2.50, but this includes all expenses, o Interest in the annual spring Viking Vodvil, which is to be held here on May 19, is rapidly awakening. Eleven organizations, including the faculty, the office force, both classes, and all the prominent clubs, have signified their intentions of presenting acts for the try-outs, and two independent acts have also signed up. The try-outs, in which the most entertaining and suitable acts for a finished vodvil are selected, will be held next Thursday, May 15. Bert Cole, manager of the Vodvil, is highly pleased with the way entrants are working on their acts. Since there is not much time before the try-outs, considerable effort will be necessary to insure the presentation of a well-finished performance. Bob Carboneau has been chosen as assistant manager and Franklin and Clarence Lock will act as stage managers. Mr. Cole wishes to announce that he and his assistant are ready with any information or advice that may be needed, and that the stage managers will give any required aid in stage presentation. Managers of the several acts must report to Mr. Cole the nature of their intended performance, in order that there may not be a number of similar offerings. o Sports Informal to be at Leopold Hotel Tomorrow evening the Men's Club will conclude its season of activity at the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold, with its sport informal. The dance is to be the spring review of collegiate attire. The ladies may choose sport dresses or informal frocks, either of which will be in vogue, while the men will wear light-colored trousers or knickers for the affair. The dancing will start promptly at 9 o'clock and continue until midnight. Ed Hunnicut, chairman of the dance committee, has been working to make this the dance of he season. o_ ARTISTS' COURSE UPHELD At a recent meeting of the Music Teachers' Association of Bellingham, the question of dropping the Musical Artists' course was discussed. The Association decided to uphold the concerts and appointed members to express their favorable opinion to President Fisher and the Women's Music Club. o EDITORS ANNOUNCE, BIG S U R P R I S E ON DISPLAY IN CO-OP —And this is the surprise announcement! When you're rushing around in the basement today—perhaps after some red tape in the Co-Op, pause a moment at the display window on the left —and look! "Gee, and it's a dollar and a half a pound!" "Bet there is a catch in it." No hitches, no catches, and no hooey—it's the best obtainable, and will be bestowed upon the holder of a "certain" Tri-Normal Track Program off the press by the 23rd of May. Yes, you have guessed it— a' $5.00 box of Canterbury Chocolates purchased not from a "district" dealer, but from a down-town firm which is interested in Normal affairs and is a Viking booster. Go down and give a glance! ANNUAL CLEANUP OF NORMAL CAMPUS TO START TUESDAY Majors Appointed to Get Rake and Broom Brigade Organized for Annual Clean-Up Campaign. E BEING HAD! Adele M. Jones Heads Committee In Charge of Arrangements for Commencement Exercises. PICNIC AT ROCKS Miss George was hostess to Miss Plympton and members of the Library Staff at a beach picnic held Saturday, at the "Rocks." The high spots of the party were the steaks which were broiled over an open fire and the biscuits which were baked by means of a reflector. The party left town in the afternoon and returned in the evening, walking to and from the South Side carline. HUNSAKER TO SPEAK To talk on the promotion of World Peace, J. J. Hunsacker will be in Bellingham from May 17 to 25. He will talk to various organizations, including the Normal International Relations Club. Mr. Hunsacker will be remembered by many students, as he spoke here last year for the same cause. ALUMNUS HONORED Jean Marquis, daughter of Dean Marquis, and a former student of Bellingham Normal, has received high honors at Stanford University, which she is now attending. Miss Marquis was awarded the Stanford Residence Scholarship and was elected treasurer of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. o NORMAL STUDENTS TO BE IN RECITAL Miss Edith Strange, teacher of piano, and member of the Normal School faculty, will present a group of her students in a recital at the Fine Arts Auditorium, Wednesday night, May 14. The following persons, whose names are familiar to almost every Normal student, will appear on the program: Jean Philippi, Chauncey Griffith, Vera Gin-nette, Muriel Myhre, Mary Miller, Betty Bellman, and Irene Wilson. This recital will feature ensembles, two pianos with four and eight hands, and many new and interesting combinations which have not been heard in Bellingham before. Normal students are cordially invited to attend. In observance of National Music week, which is a time set aside by the nation to be devoted ti gt; arousing interest in music, Miss Strange presented a group of pupils, many of them Normal students, in a pleasing recital last Wednesday in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Commencement plans are being made and a committee in charge has been appointed .which is comprised of Miss Adele Jones, chairman; Victor Hoppe, Herbert Fowler, Harold Smith,. L. A. Kibbe, Maude Slawson, Grace Moore, Marie Druse, Hazel Breakey, Ruth Weythman, Hazel Plympton, Mildred Jewell, and Alice Houston. Mr. Kibbe, Miss Breakey, and Mrs. Houston, representing the faculty, will assist the Alumni committee. The program for Commencement week will be as follows: Saturday, June 7—Girls' Field Day. Alumni banquet and dance at Edens Hall in evening. Sunday, June 8—Baccalaureate. Tuesday, June 10.—Class Day exercises. Victor Hoppe, adviser. Wednesday, June 11—Faculty reception. Thursday, June 12—Commencement Exercises. The music and decorations will be in charge of the music and art departments respectively, while the physical education department will have charge of the processional and recessional. o T. N. Press Service To^Start Very Soon A news service to be known as the Tri-Normal Press, under the initial letters of T. N. P., has been inaugurated among the three Normal schools of the State by the Northwest Viking. The plan is to exchange about six inches of copy weekly, with the Cheney Journal and the Ellensburg Campus Crier. This will enable the students to keep in touch with what is happening in the other schools and bring about a closer relationship between the three similar institutions. It is planned to condense the most important sports and other news articles each week for the other papers. This will be handled by James Pelley at Cheney, and Kermit Smith for The Viking, while the Ellensburg T. N. P. editor is yet unknown. o Former Normalite Starts Cab Company MANY ILL Miss Mead reports that Bob Walters has been ill with influenza. Ethel Adams has been ill with the flu, but is back in school. Ruth Shepherd has been confined to her room with a sore throat. A number of students have colds and sore throats. Miss Mead is unusually busy because Miss O'Malley is taking her vacation this month. o NEW MAP RECEIVED A new map of the United States has been recently received by the Normal school. According to Mr. T. F. Hunt, of the Social Scienc* Department, it is one of the latest and best of this type of maps on the market. The map, which fills a long-felt need, wu?£-be used in the teaching of geography.

H. Macgill Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren ALL W O R K A N D N O P L A Y— Only five weeks more, and the quarter will be over These five weeks will be crowded ones for many students, burrowing through books and papers, conning facts, making grades and forgetting that these five weeks are offering the finest, brightest spring days of the year. Other students will be letting their studies go just a little bit to take advantage of then-last half-quarter in one of the most beautiful natural playgrounds in the United States. Too many Bellingham students, while not exactly bookworms too easily forget that they are living all the time they are m schoo "learning how to live," and pass up the finest opportunity that they will ever have to enjoy themselves. They become so immersed in encyclopedias, text books and old periodicals that they never play tennis or stroll around the campus, or eat at the Rocks, or climb Chuckanut, or take advantage of any of the other magnificent beauty spots which are in Normal's own backyard. If you have a test coming up that you can't look in the face, don't try to prepare for it by cramming all Sunday afternoon at the library. Buy half a pound of beeksteak, a nickel's worth of buns, a few pickles, some butter, and a bagful of fruit, and spend the afternoon lying in the sun and watching the bay swells break in over the Rocks. It will amaze you how your soul will expand and the test, if you still remember the test, will shrivel up to something like its true proportions. o F A C U L T Y CHALLENGE No doubt the Normal men and women students will accept the challenge of the Faculty people for the two baseball games to be played Campus Day. It would be rather pleasant to swing on a ball pitched by a hardbdiled instructor and knock it a quarter of a mile up Normal drive. CAMPUS DAY Next Tuesday will be Campus Day, with the whole school turned out to clean up the familiar environs. All the girls will be prettied up in pseudo-working garments, and all of the big boys with lots of strength will be chasing all of the little fellows around with paddles making them do all of the heavy work. There will be digging and picking up on a small scale, and loafing and laughing on a big scale, and a good time will be had by all. The dance should be gay and the sports exciting, and all-in-all the day should be one that we will remember a long, long time after we are all broken down, out in the field. V I K I N G VODVIL The Student body should get behind this Viking Vodvil. Of all the activities which the Normal people traditionally engage in, the Viking Vodvil can be made the most interesting. Once every year people with ideas, a sense of humor, and ability to entertain have a chance to display them, and to utilize their ingenuity in working out an evening of Vodvil entertainment. Last year the Vodvil was well received, and this year should be better, what with all of the new talent and a lot of the old. There should be enough material for a Vodvil show in the pep band alone. Every club in the school should be represented in the tryouts, as well as individual groups. With a good manager and plenty of time, the Vodvil this year should climb to a new high mark on the year's cajendar. (Newspaper Profs. Challenge Future Teachers toBall Game Following Clean-up ARTICLE I Today I had occasion to visit "Prexy's" office and I was greatly surprised, to say the least, to see Bever, Carver, and several other members of the faculty playing marbles on the floor. I joined in and in the course of the conversation I was able to gather that our chemist, Harry Pnilippi had discovered the fountain of youth. It had been a secret until I inadvertantly stumbled upon the result of it. Charlie Fisher says, "I feel younger every day, and you ought to see "Jimmie" Bever turn flipflops". "Bill" Marquis was overheard saying, "Our ball team will beat anything in the country, and we will challenge anybody to a game to be played anytime, anywhere, or anyhow, the sooner the quicker''. Vic Hoppe puts the challenge in a direct form and is seconded by "Eddie" Arntzen, "We„ja.re pointed for the campus day game," they say, "when the question of supremacy between the 444 men of the school and our rejuvenated selves will be settled. We want to say that this will be a battle of the century and that nothing will be spared to show our real ability". It appears that the feminine members of the faculty have stolen a march upon the more timid and self effacing members of the same sex who are mere students, and claim the "All Normal ChamDion-ship". Headed by the sparkling example of "Biff" Weythman, the self styled champions have issued a sweeping challenge to the women of the school. "Biff", in a personal interview, says: "Our sluggers, "Killer" Kangley, "Pastern" Piatt, "Sock-em" Shumway, will drive in enough runs so our pitcher "Jump Ball" Jewell can call in the rest of the players and still win. They will show for one day only, May 13, in case the flappers of the school accept the challenge. This is an unprecedented chance to see such stars "Dippy" Doty, "Highball" Horton, "Mak" McPherson, "Ozzy" Osborne, "U" Ullin, and "Sunshine" Sundquist. We hope that the girls accept, this challenge and put a crimp in the hopes and vanity of these all-stars, who have it all their own way in-more than one way now. HHHHHHHHHHHH ENNY'S RAINLESS 1 X KJ • • • • • • • HHHHHHHHHHHH Well, here 'are, studes. We've just finished figuring something out. You know, of course, how this student body has been criticized regarding its behavior in assemblies. Criticism has even descended to certain classes and certain individuals and, believe us, we have not escaped it. Remembering that the bloomin' faculty has done its bloomin' share in the matter, we were greatly astonished and greatly delighted when in the intermission of last Friday's assembly program, we counted seven faculty members as they nonchalantly arose from their seats, mingled with the crowds of bored students, and vanished. (Ah, but we do appreciate mathematics. Numbers are so impersonal and so damning.) But we were altogether confounded! We were absolutely stuck for a reason for the departure, too. So we did a lot of figuring. * * * At first we thought, well, maybe they, by golly, didn't want to stay and, accordingly left. But no, that thought didn't last long. That anyone should not care to listen to programs of such unapproachable quality as ours! Inconceivable! (And curiously, last Friday's concert was good.) * * * And we couldn't imagine that they lacked the common courtesy to sit quietly through even a poor program, merely for the gratification of the striving performers. Oh, my! We're sorry we ever thought of that. Gee! * •• gt; ••* And then we thought that they, well—that maybe they hadn't noticing their programs much, or something, and thought it was all over. But, then they had programs, all right; and gee! you know they should be able to tell when one piece stops and Another one starts. So that was all off. * •• gt; * Then we thought of several reasons. We figured that, well; maybe one had started, and then the next had followed, and so on. You know, the way sheep do. Or, maybe they had been sitting there, daring one another to leave and, gee! you know how faculty members would be on daring! But all that seemed farfetched, and we were still sitting and wondering, when—bing! It hit us like a stray bolt from, a passing airplane! The reason! * * * They were going out there to capture, reprove, and punish the students that went trotting Of course! And, now that we think of it, we have heard rum-off in that discourteous way! ors that any studeni leaving an assembly without a very good reason shall be punished by three slaps on the wrist with a bare corset steel! Ah, hah! Wc guess that'll teach 'em. And the next time we sec any faculty members leave, we\-v. going to listen carefuly and see if we can hear the agonized screamings of the unfortunatt-s who have been caught. And we won't think badly of the faculty any more. * * * Probably the head to this column doesn't apply to the sort of boloney we've been dishing out here, but we don't feel funny, this week. It's still by-golly "Benny's", all light, and therefore, it's "Brainless," without a doubt. And we've cut it into "Bits." Run along, now! o Normalites Earn In Devious Ways A„ „„ „„ „, „„ „„ „„ .„ „„ J - * - KU mi ui gt; i m — - t - a j, A large, yellow house stands well back from the street. Before it the lawn, with fresh green patching through the darker raggedness of winter's grass, slopes gently, then cuts down to the sidewalk. At one side of the house a holly tree bulges and bristles stiffly. Various small bushes are neatly arranged about the lawn and an awkward Scotch broom waves in loose fashion at one comer. An early morning sun glints coolly down across one corner of the house. The broom trembles very, very gently in the chill of a slight breeze. A group of book-laden girls, silent in the resentful gloom of early awakenings, come into sight; pass, and go, the clicking of their heels echoing lightly as they round the corner. Silence. More silence! Horrors!

Campus Day is one of the few days of the year when personal pleasure and school benefit are enjoyed simultaneously. This is your opportunity to show not only that you have pride in your campus, and an enthusiastic school spirit, but also that you understand the art'of co-operation. In keeping with former years, the students will be assigned to special groups, whose duties are toward beautifying the campus. Some call this day a holiday, but they merely mean it is a day free from classroom and library. To make the 1930 Campus Day a success, locate your crew, then work, eat, and play to your maximum capacity. TRACK TEAM TRAVELS TO C. P. S. Today we find our track squad participating under the Blue and White colors of the Normal school in the annual track meet with the College of Puget Sound. In the past years the College of Puget Sound has held the high end of the score when the last event was run off. The way things look at the present time, C. P. S. may repeat their feats of old. But there will be some fourteen or fifteen Viking men that are going to live true to the Viking spirit and give every bit of strength possible in order that the Belling-ham Normal team may come home successful. BIGGER AND BETTER VODVIL! Again the time approaches for that ever-looked-forward-to event of the year, the Viking Vodvil. For years past the students of old have looked forward and planned hard for this big, final climax of events of the regular school year. Every season marked improvement has been shown—but this year? Yes, we have kept up the standards by putting, on a, Vodvil of a high class of entertainment— one that every one enjoys and one that shows decided improvement over any that have been given in the past. This is only logical, though, for everything betters itself from year to year. The least we can do is to show our average amount of improvement to make the Vodvil a real success in all ways. VIKINGS MEET ST, MARTINS THERE It will just be an avenging nine Saturday, at St. Martins College, when the Norsemen horsehide maulers meet the St. Martins' diamond squad for the return game of this season's schedule. Just a week ago the Vikings took a little set-back when St. Martins came out with the long end of the score. Don't you wory, a true Viking is never whipped. If I have my ideas correct, those nine men and Coach "Pop" Gunn will come home with the bacon tied on their best bat. They can do it and they will do it. Did you ever see a Viking quit? FASTEST HUMANS FROM EAST Of all the events in track, public interest at the present time seems to have focused upon the hundred-yard dash, for the great George Stimson is running under the colors of the Ohio State University. Fighting bravely a field of six sprinters, all of whom had been clocked at :09.6 seconds or better, the Buckeye shattered the world record and acquired the unusual name of "the world's fastest human." Simpson stepped the century in :09.4 seconds during a season when Michigan's flash, Tolan, and Texas Christian's star dash man, Leland, were making the distance in :09.5. It appears from comparison of the past relay carnival that the East is burning up the track, especially in the sprints, while the West is holding the lead in the weight events. Such athletes as Rothert and Krenz of California, and Jessup, of the University of Washington, are upholding their part of the West. Another successful sprinter, Eddie Gordon, the lanky negro boy from the University of Iowa, promises to experience another big year. He is a natural born jumper, equally good in the high and broad jumps. Last June, Gordon took first in the broad jump at the National meet, with a leap of 24 feet 8% inches, to defeat Hill of Southern California, •who won the I. C. A. A. A. A. title m the broad jumps. VIKINGS 60 SOUTH TO AVENGE DEFEAT Normal Varsity, Twice Beaten, Are Determined to Beat Laccy Lads On Their Own Field. W. A. A. MEETING Tomorrow the Viking ball team travels south to meet the St. Martin College nine in an attempt to avenge the defeat handed them Saturday by the Lacey Lads. To date the Vikings have lost two ball games, the first to St. Martin's last Saturday. 5 to 2, and the second last Wednesday to College of Puget Sound, 10 to 8. Both games were close and the outcome was in doubt until the last inning. Tomorrow'? game with St. Martin's College should be a nip and tuck affair. Wednesday's game with C. P. S. was a hectic one in which some weird baseball was seen. Things were going along rather smoothly for the Vikings until the third inning when a bomb exploded and the C. P. S. boys scored five times. Iverson replaced Blankenship as pitcher at this point to stem the tide but the damage was done. In the next inning Graverock hit a terrific ball to the south end of the grandstand scoring a homerun and bringing in two runners ahead of him. From then on it was anybody's ball game, the Normal team several times catching up with the Tacoma lads, only to have the "Loggers" pull away in the next inning. Following are the lineups and the score: C. P. S.—Gynn, second base; Le Penske, left field; Plummer, center field; Carnero, right field; Tomko, third base; Grant, first base; Petti-bone, pitcher; Spadefore, short stop; Baker, catcher. Normal — H. McCleary, catcher; Thorsen, first base; Dixon, center field; Eacrett, short stop; Peder-' son. third base; Blankenship, pitcher and right field; Iverson, left field and pitcher; Graverock, right field and left field, Miller, second base. H. R. E. C. P. S 12 10 3 Normal 8 8 1 Saturday saw St. Martin's College emerge with a 5-to-3 victory over the Vikings in a game which was in doubt until the last inning when the College boys pushed over two tallies to put the game away. Up until that time the Vikings were hold ing their own and looked like they might win the game. Both teams played good ball, the margin of victory being in the ability of the St. Martin team to make their hits count. Blankenship for the Normal and Costa for St. Martin's did the pitching, both holding their opponents to but a few hits. Sigrid Wiberg Made Head of the W. A. A. At Meeting Tuesday "Rogue Song" To Be Sponsored By W. A. A. The Women's Athletic Association Mil sell tickets for "The Rogue Song," starring Lawrence Tibbett. which will be played at the Mount Baker Theater, May 21, 22, and 23. Lawrence Tibbett will be remembered as one of the artists who was heard in Bellingham this last winter. The- money taken in from the ticket sale will be used toward the balance of the debts on Viqueen Lodge, the W. A. A. camp on Sinclair Island. Katherin Zeran is in charge of the committee for the drive and working under her are Louisette Bergeron, tickets, and Marion Marchand, advertising. Also on the ticket committee are lola Grue, Alice Sabcock, Joyce Arnold and Vera Peterson. W. A. A. members will co-operate in selling tickets. There will be afternoon performances at 35 cents a ticket, and the evening price will be 50 cents. o TENNIS MEN TO PLAY MOUNT VERNON TODAY Sigrid Wiberg is the new president of the W. A. A. for.next year, succeeding Ruth Sammons. Other officers elected, are Thelma Engle-son, vice-president; lola Grue, secretary; Lois Thompson, treasurer; lone Shumway, recording secretary.
