THAT LAST WEEK SHIPS THAT PASS NEW BEAUTY DEVICE YE DIARY By D. C. A. Appearing tonight with an exceptionally high rating, Miss Claire Dux soprano, will present a varied program of songs at * e First Presbyterian Church at 8:15. Miss Dux is in Bellingham o na Northwest tour under ': — : T.the auspices of the Bellingham Women's club and the Bellingham State Normal school. An exquisite artist in all her appearances, not only exquisite but greatly popular, and there ,never was a nartist meriting popularity more than she," said Jldward Moore, of the Chicago Dally Tribune. Takes Lead in Opera Miss Dux is of Polish nationality and began to sing as a child. After a few years of study she made her operatic debut in Germany, after which she was leading soprano with almost all of the great opera houses of the world. She sang leading roles at La Scala, in Milan, and made her debut at the Royal Opera, in Berlin, with Enrico Caruso, singing "Mimi" to his role of "Rodolfo." Miss Dux sang at Covent Garden, London, and before her first American visit she sang at the Royal Operas in Stockholm and Copenhagen, where she again won favor with her audience. Her triumphs here with the Chicago Civic Opera Company were equalled by her success in recital and she proved herself supreme in her various Ameri-the evening*-our evening Musical can tours.

The councils appointed Colin Campbell and Bob Walters to act as a committee to investigate the matter thoroughly. They are working on the program, amusements, and music at present. Same Site The picnic will probably be held at Lake Samish again and there will be plenty of eats, dancing, swimming, boating, and numerous other enjoyments.

There is something awesome to see from the bridge of your own great liner, three lights of another majestic ship loom up clear in the darkness—and you hear the mate command his quartermaster, "Three lights ahead, port your helm and show her red!" Then you see the coming ship's port red and you know she sees your red light. With an echoing, booming signal the two ships speak, then pass and disappear in the darkness. "So on the ocean of life, We pass and speak one another; Only a look and a voice, Then darkness again and silence!"

They did, however, claim that the regular Rec Hour could not be used for this purpose. The misunderstanding on the decision originated by the use of the term "Rec Hours.'V Thejvlen's committee really desired a special dance and not.a special 4 Rec Hour. The motions do not give a clear idea of the decision, and consequently President Quick was asked by the writer to give an interpretation. This ruling claimed that the men are only forbidden to use a regular Rec Hour for raising money. They may, though, apply for a special dance of the same nature. . . The reason that the club applied to the Board, in the first place, was the result of an announcement in assembly to the effect that any club wishing to put on all-school functions, must first apply to the Board for permission. This announcement was erroneous, according to the Standards for social affairs as outlined by the Inter-Club Council and approved by the Faculty committee on student affairs" These stands specifically exempt the "Students' Association, the Womens League, and the Mens Club" from having to first get permission. v; Consequently, to give these dances for raising money for the furniture, the Men will need only to get a date from the Inter-Club Council. •-•-:•• The Board was'afraid of setting a precedent by which other clubs would expect the same privilege, but the rules taken from the Blue Book clearly remove any fear of establishing a standard in that respect. ~ ^-0 • :; Last year spring was announced to us by one of the Worthy Viking "colyumists," with the sentimental lead, "One robin doesn't signify spring, but—".

There, each week, we were sure to find a number of "Do unto others" and "For thy own good" reforms. In a quite recent issue they came out with the following moan under the heading, "You know, ours is a thankless job!": "We mean this business of writing editorials for your edification and enlightenment. We've written imploring you to study; we've written telling you what swell people you are, and now we're going to complain. Oh, not about you! We just think a few tears and self-pity will do us some good. In the first place, do you ever read our editorials? And in the second place, do you realize that there is some sense, sometimes, in what we tell you?^ There! We feel so much better, and next week we'll be back on the job telling you to be sure and begin the next quarter right!" Just as editor to editoress, Helen, we guarantee you can get a raise out of 'em with a good hot editorial scoring student, school,, or state government. No charge for the advice. :•"%••• -^^'y^.''-' 1 FAREWlE^^ARTr FOR ^FjOIJR MEMBERS TOMORROW NIGHT With Mary McDonald serving as. toastmistress and Mr. Bond acting as general chairman, the.Board of Control will banquet tomorrow evening at 7:30 at Ohuckanut Shell. The program for the dinner will include several talks in connection with the Board of Control, and a group of piano selections. Quentin Quick, president of the ^Associated Student'Body, who is; to-be one of the/ speakers; has chosen for his subject, "How It Looks Looking in." Fisher Outline President Fisher will outline the various activities of the Board, and Miss Rich of the training school will tell of the outsider's reaction to the governing group. The dinner will also serve as a farewell event for the three members who are leaving the Board this quarter, having served for four quarters. Those whose terms are coming to a termination are Art Grav-rock, Quentin Quick, and Mary McDonald. Art Gravrock will act as representative of this group in saying goodbye to the remaining members. ; A delightful contrast to the seriousness of the program will be a group of piano solos by Mrs. C.

For the second time in our administration of The Viking we complain of the poor advertisement given a current Musical Artist concert. We have every possible information channel kept open continually so that we will not pass up any item. It is among our tasks here, as a student organ, to keep the students posted ahead of time on the events of school life. Yet it is not until the; eleventh hour that we are able to obtain the meager report that there will be a concert this week. ",' The advertisement about the school has been lacking,, and although it was finally announced, we still complain. It is not a good policy to spend, considerable amounts of money on an artist and then not lead or educate the students into being ready for the reception.

SCORE IS 28.34 Jimmy Bork was easily the best scorer of the squad. His season total was 160 points, which gives him an average of a little more than eight points per game. Dixon and Thorsen were next best with 113 and 103 points, respectively. Archie Sherman, tallied 73 markers, and Ab. bott had 48 points to his credit. Rork had high individual scoring honors for one game, scoring 28 points in a game with the Blaine Athletic Club. Leo Nicholson, coach at Ellensburg, has accepted a contract to become basketball coach at .Gonzaga College. He will start his new position next fall when the basketball season comes around. Mr. Nicholson has established himself in the hearts of the Eastern Washington basketball fans with the champion hoop teams that he has put out. No tears will be lost at the Cheney or Bellingham Normal schools because of Nicholson's departure from the Ellensburg school. His teams have won the Tri-Normal title for the past three or four years. Al Schuss, U. of"W. Prosh coach, was considered along with Nicholson for the Gonzaga job. The University of Washington finally won the Pacific Coast basketball title after four successive years of trying. Johnny Puller, big sophomore forward, was the star of the last game for the university. The Huskies' success lay in their ability to make free throws, converting 14- out of 16 shots. They won by the score of 42 to 30. Using a set five-man defense that could not be penetrated by the Norr mal Vikings, the* College of Puget Sound five held the nilltoppers to two field goals, in the last half while they themselves were out garnering 24 points, enough to win by six points, in the final game of. the season played on the Whatcom floor last Saturday night. The final score was 34 to 28 in favor of C. P. S. The game was a good example of .one" ot those "wonder how it hapr pened" affairs}*The Normalites were way out in frorit^at half time, the score being 24 to 10. They started play in the last half with a let-down, seemingly to- have been caused by the large lead that they had piled up in the first half, and the defense they faced. Strong Defense This C. P. S. defense was well organized, and whenever the Vikings took the ball down the floor, some opponent would intercept the pass and they were away for another two points. McCoy, guard for C. P. S., would dribble the ball down the floor and pass to either Bowers, Kenrick, or to Kegley, all three of whom were hitting the basket with deadly accurracy all through the last half. Kegley, Bowers and Kenrick were the big guns for the visitors, making 11, 10 and 9 points respectively. It was a good passing, fast breaking, and scoring Viking five that played the first half. They displayed the best, teamwork that they have shown all season. Thorsen Key Man Most of the play for the Vikings started with Thorsen passing the ball from near the center of the floor to some teammate who had gotten away from his guard and was breaking for the basket. Dixon, and Rork did most of the scoring for the Vikings, Rork being high point man of the evening with 13 tallies. In a preliminary game the Philos won from their old rivals, the Thes_ pians, 10 to 4. Walters, of the Thespians, and Moe of the Philos were the outstanding players of the tussle.

The first meet of the season will be with the College of Puget Sound, April 29, here on Waldo field. . It is a little early yet to say much about the Viking track squad. One thing is certain, and that is that it has quite a few potential track stars. Moe Throws Iver Moe, ex-Anacortes track star of some years ago, is a discus thrower. While in high school, Moe represented his alma mater at the state track meet and he was sent to Chicago to compete in the national high school track meet. Moe has thrown the discus 139 feet. He should bring home some points this year for the. Vikings. The shotputters consist of Jess Sutton, big 210-pound football player, and Shelton and Moe. The school" is blessed with a potential 4:30.miler in Norman Bright. He lias been setting a fast pace already. The quarter and half miles will be taken' care of by Hubbler, Eagan, Carboneau, and Woitulewicz. Gable and Thomas seem to be leading the field so far in the sprinting class. Jim Davis, Burlington star, is" a high-jumper and a high hurdler. Dixon takes care of the broad jump, with Smith and Duyff running the low, hurdles. Thus far only three meets have been scheduled for the .team this yeaf.'r*The' first with C. P. S., the second with the U. of W. Prosh, there, on May 6, and the Tri-Normal meet at Ellensburg on May 23. F*01 •Ksitc^sit • K Pre-season baseball conditioning period has passed the first week and the few hardy individuals who braved the weather, have done their chores well but none of them know just where they stand in the plans of the coach. , Outfielders Work Outfielders are taking grounders around second base, catchers work in the outfield, pitchers hit fungoes and nobody knows where he will be finally stationed until the juggling is all over. In short, all aspirants are getting the "feel" of the ball. This general type of work will probably continue the balance of the quarter. There will be practically no attention paid to position play with the exception of the battery men. Emphasis on Form Emphasis is being placed on correct throwing form to avoid sore arms. All men are advised to go slowly in their conditioning as they are not required to show their ability in early training period. No sore arms have been reported as yet, probably because their owners are a little backward in acknowledging failure to follow instructions.. Lettermen showing up for practice are the McCleary brothers, Jim and "Mac", Iverson, Dixon and Gravrock. Thorsen hasn't started in yet as he has'just finished a hard season as a varsity regular in the hoop sport. Others working the kinks out of their arms are Moultray, Rockey, Comfort, Murray, George Gallen-ger, Dale Thompson, Leaden, Carter, Irby, Glenn Campbell, Nicholas, Haggard, Smith, Newquist, and Thorpe. The turnout probably will swell to three full teams next quar ter. •-.' • SERVU BALL SEASON HAS ENDED FOR YEAR £ *•* • ^fStOflffWiZ' TrirNormal championships in tennisi thgB it is^J generally "^accepted that they will be on top or thereabouts^ Coach Carver will^hot have any Teg^ar^turnbuts'' this-^quarter but, will *begin in earnest early nejjit Servus-ball has ended for this year.
