1935_0621 ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 June 21 - Page 1 ---------- VOL. XXXIII—NO. 34 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Normalite SUMAS • • • • SURVEY • # • * SUPREMACY • • * e SOULS By Elmer Lade Sumas, Wash. Editor Northwest Viking; Dear Sir: I have always wanted to be a foreign correspondent, especially after reading "The Sun Also Rises". Chances are that Hemingway's picture of itinerant pressmen does not represent the norm, bur as far as I could gather from reading his book, a foreign correspondent is a sort of journalistic remittance man whom the home office-pays to frequent bars and bull-fights, and not to write news stories. They must, however, feel very, very futile. Now there is nothing particularly exotic about Sumas. One could abide here for twenty-five years and never see a bull-fight. But it is a grand place to feel futile in, and I am glad for this opportunity to send my copy through the mail, because doing so suggests progress towards the melancholy sinecure Hemingway talks about. * * * * * Whenever I mentioned Sumas around the Normal a general laugh usually followed. And despite the fact that those people who laughed the loudest came, in most cases, from Ferndale or Stanwood, or some equally inconsequential geographical expression, their witless uproar rankled. The natural conclusion was that Sumas, as a city, possesses characteristics unusually outlandish. So I decided that on returning home I should view Sumas with a cold objective eye, calculate closely, and" analyze to a hair, and then, providing nothing sensational developed, like Sandburg "turn to those who sneer at this my city and give them back the sneer, etc." Board Appoints Hostetter Head Of Next Annual Business Manager Is Unchanged; Allan Appointed to Position On Newspaper Three Boats Get Names None of Names Suggested Normalstad Approved For But applying scientific objectivity to one's home town is a pretty tough proposition. One is either sure that his town is the "best little burg in the state" or "the lousiest slab that man ever lived in". After contemplating Sumas as it extends from Front street to the Canadian boundary I can only hazard this much in its defense: that in the length and breadth of Washington there is probably no better place to leave. Which, of course, is only a wild generalization based on prejudice and civic pride. * * * * * Sumas, like every other small town, is full of gypsy souls who want to "get out". Select at random from its population any individual under fifty years of age and draw him into conversation; you'll find that he wants to "get out". If not, you are probably talking to one of the reasons why Sumas is said to be "the city that never buries its dead". But unless you do happen to encounter one of those fortunate vegetables who are content to simply sit and watch the seasons swing by, the general theme will be that happiness is something that lies just outside the city limits—or some place indefinitely beyond. It's worse in the winter when a body has nothing to do but sit indoors and watch the rain cut holes in the gravel streets. Then the comment is not just a fervent wish to visit Tahiti or Pamplona, but a vindictive threat to "leave this dump on its ears and never return!" Helen Hostetter was appointed to the editorship of the Klipsun for 1935-36 by the Board of Control at a special meeting held Friday, June 7. Miss Hostetter served as associate editor on the Klipsun staff for 1934-35 and previously edited the Whatcom High school year book, the Kulshan. Business manager for the coming year will be Cliff Johnson, who held the same position on the 1934-35 staff. The Board elected Pat Allan, Northwest Viking business manager for the summer quarter. Allan held the editorship of the Viking in 1933. President Fisher met with the Board of Control to discuss the school budget for next year. The tentative schedules of expenses made by the department heads were presented to the Board. It made a definite recommendation to the Board of Trustees for the price of the Associated Student fee. The names suggested for Normalstad and the three boats were read to the Board by Oscar Svarlein. "Viqueen, Viking, and Sehome" were chosen for the boats. Since none of the names suggested for Normalstad were particularly ap.- propriate it was decided that no action would be taken until next fall. Friday, June 2 1 , 1935 Christensen And Flick To Serve Board of Control Hager To Formulate Plans Board's Social Event For This Quarter For Theona Flick and Julia Chisten-sen who have been previous members of the Board of Control were appointed to serve with this group, at a meting held Wednesday, June 19. Theona Flick was vice-president of the Associated Students' in 1933, and Julia Christensen held the same position the following year. Because the summer members had not yet been appointed there was not a quorum present and a discussion period took the place of the regular meeting. Maurice Tweit's orchestra was selected to play at the mixer which is to be held Friday, June 21, in Bdens hall. As the usual picnic which is given for the Board members in the spring was neglected this year, Joe Hager was asked to formulate plans for a social event of this kind. Kibbe, George Will Lead Hike Up Church Mt. First All Day Outing of Summer To Take Hikers To Ranger Cabin at Top Party To Leave at 7:30 View of County and Eraser, River Valley Is Splendid Luncheon Friday Prof. Snedden Will Be Guest At Noon Luncheon Popular Artists Scheduled For This Quarter Wide Variety of Musical Programs Planned for Summer Session's Assemblies Institute Will Be Held In Portland Social Science Department Heads To Select Representatives To Conference Very interesting lectures and recitals are scheduled for this quarter's assemblies. Friday, June 21, President Fisher will extend a welcome to the new students after which the Seattle Mixed quartet will render a group of vocal selections. June 25, heralds the Concert Ensemble—piano, violin, and dramatic baritone. June 28, Professor Snedden of Columbia will appear in a flute recital. Louis Van Ogle, professor of music at the University of Washington, will lecture on Finald, July 5. With Miss Lillian M. George and L. A. Kibbe as leaders, about twenty aspiring alpinists will leave school tomorrow morning at 7:30 for the long, long trek up Church mountain. The party will drive up to the Church mountain trail, about fine miles past Glacier, where they will take to the wilds up the hill. The trail is an excellent one, although the last L. A. Kibbe mile through snow may fetch shivers from the less hardened hikers. The view from the ranger station at the summit is splendid, since the mountain stands out practically alone. The north end of Whatcom county can be seen entirely, and the Fraser river valley can be traced for about 100 miles. The return trip offers opportunity for splendid snow sliding and also a dandy chance to wear out those dirty cords you've been wanting to get rid of. That mile of snow will go faster than all the rest of the hike if you know the art of snow-sliding. The only requirements for the trip and a good time are a big lunch, lots of enthusiasm, and the fare of 75 cents. A chance to meet Professor Snedden of Columbia Teacher's college, New York, at an appetizing luncheon, and an opportunity for an informal discussion will be offered next Friday to all students and faculty members. Honoring Professor Snedden, the Interclub council will sponsor a luncheon Friday noon, June 28, in the Edens Hall Club room. Tickets priced at 25 cents will be on sale in the Co-op next week for Normal students and in the president's office for the faculty. This is to be the first luncheon given summer quarter and everyone is urged to attend.

And, being Brisbane, he would probably point out with forthright logic that "happiness is not geographic". And, as usual, he would be saying the safe thing. But, still in all, that is not absolving small towns from the sin of apathy—if it is a sin. So far this column has conformed in no respects to the policy, of "Normalite". But then, what were the policies of "Normalite"? Anyway, my position as foreign correspondent should give me some license. held at Reed college in Portland, Oregon, from July 5 to 15, are to be chosen soon by faculty members of the "Social Science department. The board of control has granted $50 for expenses. To qualify for the trip to Portland, a student must have been in school spring quarter, and attend during the summer or next fall, or both. The institute includes a ten day course for those interested in peaceful settlement of national and international problems. Miss Nora B. Cummins, E. J. Arntzen, and Gordon Millikan comprise the committee to choose the delegates. o Leader Promises Salmon Bake For Chuckanut Hikers Student Recreation Fans Planning Hike to Dead Man's Point; Food Featured Dead Man's point, on Chuckanut bay, will be the designation of student recreation fans next Tuesday. This will be the first of the Tuesday evening hikes scheduled on the summer's recreation program. The cove is about five miles from school. The climax of the trip will be when the hikers come back to the natural dry-dock, however, for Dr. E. A. Bond has promised to prepare a salmon. bake. According to students who know from experience, the salmon bake alone should guarantee the success of the trip. Each hiker is to bring his own cup and spoon. The cost of the lunch will be about 25 cents. Those desiring may sign up for the salmon bake only. Another interesting singer is Robert Crawford, frequently referred to as the "flying baritone" because he pilots his own plane. Miss Edith Kopelson and Alan Kopelson who will appear in a joint recital of drama and verse with music offer a very delightful program. They will present individualized literary cameos with musical preludes and settings. Lucia Chagnon a mezzo-soprano who will sing a number of well known selectio'ns July 19. For the last assembly of the first six weeks Dr. S. Barclay of Stanford university,will lecture. o Experimental Tests Given to Reporters With scores ranging all the way from 31 to 60 out of a possible 75 in a current events test, last quarter's Newswriting classes were left feeling a little less certain the final week of the spring term about what was really "news" for the past ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 June 21 - Page 2 ---------- ^HlNGTbN SfTATE: NdRMAL SCHOOL; A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION.

Summer School Not So Dusty Horizons Clear as Tired Teachers Return To Alma Mater Contests Come And Contests Go; Normalstad Forever? Back in the summer of 1932 the Normal school conducted a contest to re-name Normalstad, the school property on Lake Whatcom. It was felt that the name was not quite appropriate for the beautiful tract of land. The name, after the summer of '32, still remained Normalstad. iSome students and faculty, when referring to the property, have called it College Woodland, etc., since that time. The official name however remained the same. Last quarter the Board of Control conducted a contest. They wished to change the name of Normalstad. But the fact is that no name submitted to the Board was thought suitable. The control was postponed until this fall. ' Quoting from an editorial appearing in the Northwest Viking of July l, 1932: "Contests to change the name of Normalstad will probably be held in 1937." The writer of this will be able to apply for his fortune telling papers soon. The name of the Lake Whatcom property is still Normalstad. Vikings Desert Post Best Wishes Passed To New Cubs from Staff Straggling into the Viking office after a week of well-earned and needed rest, we find the place strangely quiet. Is there mischief afoot? Cant be that—there's no one around. Yet that strange feeling of someone present haunts us. A light breaks slowly upon our befuddled minds as we gaze upon the following inscription on the blackboard: "Merry Xmas wishes and a slight dash of New Year cheer in 7 up to undergrad staff members from us who now depart. "To you from failing hands •we throw the torch". Shades of the past!! Sounds to us much like friend Dorn-blut junior. All in all, there are probably more unpleasant occupations in this world, so full of unplasant occupations than attending summer school. To the many who have spent the past nine or ten months instructing the juvenile denizens of remote hinterland villages, a summer at the Normal should be more than attractive. A return, if you will, to flowers, acres of green, a view of blue over blue, culture and congeniality^ after rain, snow, deep-rutted roads, squat buildings, and the ever watchful eye of district boards. To those who have been in school throughout the entire year, the outdoor activities of the summer quarter should transform the months of June, July, and August into a sort bf scholastic picnic. If not, don't feel offended; we are only guessing anyway. Stepping Higher Looking War Campi Are Surveyed For Clever News If we begin at the bottom, we're sure to get to the top, so start here.

"What this country needs", cried the speaker, his voice cracking, "is more propaganda for our noble educators and less for these vile—" But he was shot down before he could say "public spirited rudders of our destiny".

"Tenant Farmer" by Erskine CaldwelL 1935, New York, Phalanx Press. 30 pp. $.25. Reading that factual account of living conditions in the deep South, one does not wonder that Caldwell portrays such uncouth and brutalized individuals in his novels and short stories. Certainly one scarcely expects to find an enthusiastic appreciation for Shakespeare and Beethoven among "men so hungry that many of them eat snakes, cow dung, and clay". Within the few pages of his pamphlet, Caldwell sv .cintly outlines the plight of the tenant farmer, who is now being squeezed out of sharecropping and finds it next to impossible to gain relief from the state. Then, in a series of accounts of typical cases, he shows the misery and suffering these conditions are responsible for: "in one of the rooms a six-year-old boy licked the paper bag the meat had been brought in. His legs were scarcely any larger than a medium sized dog's leg, and his belly was as large as that of a 130-pound woman. Suffering from rickets and anemia, his legs were unable to carry him more than a dozen steps at a time; suffering from maluntrition, his belly was swollen several times its normal size. His face was bony and white. He was starving to death". • Together with such wretched circumstances as Caldwell portrays one naturally expects to find a certain amount of moral degeneration. So one is not surprised when he states: "In many such Georgia communities syphilis is as common as dandruff. Incest is as prevalent as marriage in the tenant regions where normal access to the outside is shut off because of inability to travel". Caldwell sees little possibility of alleviating these conditions until the landowner-tenant system is abolished.

By Melvin Munson Summer—first issue of the mess—lots of new students—continuance of the big recreational program started last winter, quarter—and, we hope, many students that will take part in all the varied summer activities. Sam Carver, director of intramural ath- •. letics, will show you the way to an enjoyable quarter of school if you will but give him a chance. If it happens that this is your first quarter at WSNS we will give you a free verbal map of interesting places to spend your spare hours. Night baseball with the Bellingham Boosters, (you really should see this rejuvenated team in action), and after the game a brisk walk home is good for anything that ails you. Take your tennis racket out of the moth balls and give your arm a little exercise at our 'own spacious courts. Ask Coach Carver about the facilities for taking off that little roll of fat at the two near-by golf courses. If you were salted away in the country last .winter you might keep up on your horseshoes right here at school. * * * * * o s~ gt; Sam Carver Well, we almost took 'em, came from the Kps of the Washington fans after the crew races Tuesday Two out of three wins in one day should be enough to satisfy any grad.

Eastern sports writers predicted eastern victories in all three events. Western oarsmen won all three races. Conclusion—Crews from the west are fairly good. * * * * * First call for Baseball Men. Coach Carver has issued the call for baseball material to play in the contest with the summer school men from the University of Washington. Ten men have already signed up for the team. This list is headed by Boots Wooten, former Bellingham Booster captain. Other baseball greats that have signed are Bray, McClurken, Erickson, Odell, Car-boneau, Rowland, and McCleery. * * * * * " The first "part of summer quarter, as far as athletics are concerned will be devoted to intramural basketball. Eighteen men have signed the list and more are wanted so that games may be started as soon as possible. The first 4 weeks of the quarter will be devoted to intramural basketball and then later the .softball teams will hold reign. A baseball game with the University and also basketball and tennis games will be scheduled if enough men are interested. Here's to a successful and enjoyable recreational sports program. Bellingham Team Has Chance for First Place in League With a mathematical chance for first place tie, the strengthened Bellingham baseball club will face the league leading Shelton Loggers in two games at Battersby field. The first game will be played Saturday evening under the lights with the second tilt scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The Boosters, to finish in a tie for first, must win their two remaining games, while Shelton and Seattle must lose all their remaining games. Although this is not probable, as Seattle's entrant in the Northwest league will be playing the tail end Yakima, team, Bellingham will be favored to open the secnold half title. 0askeihcdi Season For This Quarter To Start Monday Fpur Team Managers Chosen By Sam Carver For Hoop Games The intramural sports program will open with basketball getting under way Monday, June 24, at 4:00. Coach Sam Carver has drawn up a four team schedule that will finish the 18th of July. The teams will play around three times. Games will be played on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week. Bob Carboneau, Jerry Robinson, Henry Hoektsra, and Bill Prender have been chosen by Carver to be captains. The captains are to meet in Carver's office to pick their teams in time to play Monday at 4:00. The list of captains and their teams will be posted in Carver's office Monday morning. All Stars to Play During the middle of the season, an all star team will be picked to go to Seattle and play the University of Washington intramural team. The Husky team will play a return game with Carver's squad in the latter part of July. Last season the Huskies beat the Viking quintet quite easily. This season is too early to predict what chances the team will have this year, according to Carver. New men may be placed on a team by signing in the PE office. Men who have already signed are Bob Carboneau, Jerry Robinson, Henry Hoekstra, Bill Prender, Nos-trant, Campbell, Ranson Convis, R. Wooten, Oscar Johnson, Dave Turn-ball, Ed Angel, Ralph Shenenberger, Baseball Players AreCaUed For Turnouts; Two Tentative Games With UW Scheduled Tennis Team To Play Washington Five Men To Be Chosen From Ladder Tournament; Golf To Be Dropped Although only fpur men have signed for the tennis ladder, Sam Carver, intramural coach, expects enough men to sign up so that a five man team can be picked to play the University of Washington tennis squad during the summer. The tennis team will play the Huskies twice with a home and home arrangement. Golf may be dropped this quarter as only one.man has signed up so far. • The men who have signed on the tennis ladder are Jerry Robinson, J. Zylstra, Warren Granger, and Ralph Shenenberger. The men will be seeded and challenge matches will be played. The first five men will be picked to make the trip to Seattle. A horseshoe tournament is being planned by Carver with possibly a handball tournament. Horseshoe players who have signed are Carboneau, Erickson, Keppler, and Mc- Cartin. o Guy Roland, Keppler, Cole, Dick Hammett, McCleery, Zake McClurken, J. Zylstra, Joe Hager, Ryan, and C. Pierce.

A COIXEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM* WASHINGTON Summer Recreation Schedule Includes Mount Baker Climb And Tuesday Evening Hikes Program of Outdoor Activities Brings Excursion To Victoria and Hikes to Other Points of Interest ; Bond Chairman of Arrangements Committee. Promising a summer of fun as well as study, the Normal school has announced plans for what is expected to be the outstanding outdoor recrational program in the history of the school. Directed by the veteran hike-leader, TDr. E. A. Bond, a faculty committee has planned outdoor activities for the students for each Tuesday evening, as well as Saturday all-day trips and week-end parties. Probably the most eagerly-awaited trip will be the traditional Mount Baker climb. Students will leave the campus at 5:00 Friday morning, July 19. Arrangements can be made to be excused from classes for the trip. A stage will transport the hikers to Glacier. From there they will hike 10 miles to Kulshan cabin where camp will be made. Leaving camp at 5:00 Saturday morning, the party will climb Mount Baker. "If the weather is clear, it would certainly pay anyone to climb Mount Baker at least once; if you do it oftener it gets into your blood and you cant stop", was Dr. Bond's comment. He advises everyone taking the trip to bring colored glasses and an alpenstock. The cost, including fare, food, and packing expenses, will probably be about $4. Hannegan Pass Trip The week-end of August 2-3-4 will bring a trip to Hannegan pass. Leaving the campus at 1:00 Friday, the hikers will drive to Shuksan. From there the group will hike 11 miles to Hannegan pass. Saturday will be spent on Goat mountain, and Sunday on Ruth mountain. Lake Ann will be the destination of recreation fans on August 17 and 18. The cost of all the week-end trips will depend upon the number going. The larger the party, the lower the stage fare will be. Another trip which is being looked forward to by a great number of students is the excursion to Victoria scheduled for July 13 Graduates Honored By Alumni Banquet At Leopold June 8 Election of Officers and Varied Program Are Held at Annual Reunion Mixer Is Tonight First Jamboree of Quarter To Be At Edens Hall With gay music from Mel McKee's orchestra wafting upon eager ears, Normal students will open the program of social activities for summer quarter* this evening when they attend the all-sehool mixer. The place is Edens hall cafeteria, and the time is as usual —eight strokes of the village clock. So when the time rolls, 'round, put on your dancing feet and forget the troubles and cares of the first week of school—and dance to your heart's content.

Prank M. Brock, president of the association, was toastmaster. After the banquet, the program was held, including a message of greeting from W. D. Kirkpatrick, 'chairman of the Board of Trustees. Roll call by classes was held, and responses were heard from every five-year class beginning with the first, in 1900. Ro§er Mullen,.president of the Junior-Senior class, responded for the class of 1935. The main address was given by President Fisher. He compared the early years of the school with conditions at the present time. Officers elected for the following year are: president, Frank M. Brock; vice-president, Walter T.

"Toad of Toad Hall" Is By Graduating Class On School Knoll Given Victoria at 10:00, students will spend the day visiting the government buildings, the Butchart gardens, the museum, and the observatory. An orchestra will provide music for dancing on the return trip. Other Saturday all-day trips will include the trip to Church mountain tomorrow and hikes to Skyline ridge and Twin Lakes pass later in the season. Hikes to near-by points of interest are planned for Tuesday evenings from 4:15 to 8:00. The destination of the different hikes will be: Dead Man's point, Normalstad, Chuckanut mountain, the coal mine, and Toad lake. Professor Snedden Assembly Speaker Columbia Faculty Member Picks Topics on Education By Francis Fisher Presenting a most delightful interpretation, the eighth grade graduating class of the Campus Elementary school gave A. A. Milne's "Toad of Toad's Hall" on the campus knoll Monday afternoon, June 10th. Miss Bertha Crawford, eighth grade supervisor, directed the production. The play dealt with the life of the obstreperous Mr. Toad and the efforts of his animal friends to tame him. Especial "mention for the work of the four main characters, namely Toad, Mole, Water-Rat, and Badger, is well-deserved. These parts were interpreted with appropriate characterization by Charles Larrabee, Richard . Baumberger, Heath Swisher, and North Burn, and Gerald Snow, respectively. As the class voted to give the production on the campus knoll, the necessary changes in scenery and setting were left to the imagination of the audience, but the at- Webfeet To Send Squad To NCAA Miss Almina Pepper, former student of the State Normal school, was married to Mr. Charles Durr Smith of Bend, Ore.

Other students participating were Messrs. Gordon Millikan and Oscar Johnson who were ushers. Mr. and Mrs. Smith departed on a motor trip to California. Upon their return they will reside in Twisp, Wash. Two members of the faculty are attending school during the summer sessions.
