     ----------     THE NORMAL MESSENGER  MAY, 1907  VACATIONS.  The custom
of taking an annual vacation is  apparently growing among the American
peo­ple.  This we believe is a wise tendency, but  in order to get the
best results from a vacation  our plans must be carefully made.  It is
commonly said that rest may be secured  by a change of occupation as well
as by a relax­ation  from labor. If this principle is true, the 
student finds himself in a most fortunate posi­tion,  for after the
close application of a long  school year he feels the need of physical
exer­cise  and out-door employment, and at the same  time feels the
necessity of earning funds for  the coming year. It is our suggestion
there­fore  that every student who can possibly do  so, find some
occupation for the summer than  open air. If it is necessary to work for
wages,  do not hesitate to accept honorable employ­ment  in the
forest, field or garden. If you are  able to spend the summer "resting,"
then plan  with friends for some trip into the mountains.  Place the few
necessary articles into a pack,  then throw that pack over your shoulder
and  start on foot with your party for a tramp of  forty or fifty miles up
some steep mountain  trail. Take plenty of time for the journey,  sleep out
of doors every night, live on a plain,  simple diet, enjoy the beauties of
the scenery  as you pass along, and your annual outing will  be almost
ideal. You will get the exercise,  pure mountain air, change of scene with
little  expense, all of which go far to make an ideal  outing for all
classes of people.  E. T. MATHES.

     ----------     4 The Normal Messenger  FAREWELL TO THE SENIOR CLASS. 
Instead of the class strife, clamor, and  laughter which rang through the
building at  the beginning of the year, we now find peace  and quiet.  Why
this sudden change?  The saddest time of our school year is
ap­proaching—  the time when we shall part from  friends and
classmates and seek our separate  ways of life.  Let us not be
down-hearted, but rather  cheer and help those who are about to leave 
school and cross the threshold of life. To the  Seniors, as they gaze into
the future, are visi­ble  only success and fame, and eager to
con­quer  all they forget those they are leaving  behind.  But we
shall miss the class of '07 more than  we now can tell. It is this class
that has com­manded  obedience for two years. It is this  class that
has been the guardian of our schools,  watching over all and directing each
in the  right way. And we feel that as it steps out  into the world to
assume the duties of life, it  will still be a guardian and director.  So
farewell, noble Seniors, one and all; win  success and fame, and remember
there is a  class behind that silent watch of all thy works  will keep and
will give thee heartfelt applause.  LULU SHIRCLIFFE, '08.  LIFE'S WEB. 
Mysterious, but simple still, is life unfolding  web;  Each day we see the
silken strands we weave.  But silken-like, they float away at eventide, 
And ere the morning's gold drives back the  duller gray  The strand is
lost, to give another play.  We little think, from day to day, we spin
aught  else but strands,  Until, some moment unaware, we catch a  glimpse
of life.

     ----------     The Normal Messenger 5  (As when, into the fountain's
pool one looks  into its deeps,  And sees, far through the crystal depths,
the  pebbles' rounded forms),  And see a web, the strands of which are
former  acts transformed.  Since life is ever weaving thread by thread, 
Into a unity, translucent yet for aye,  It matters much, since this frail
form spans  time,  Fixt twixt heaven, the limit, and earth the  variable
sort  What enters it, to make more beautous or dis­tort.  Therefore,
take each golden moment as though  it were the last,  And fit in it, as in
the ring the jeweler fits the  .sparkling gem,  The richest thought or act
thy life's storehouse  then holds,  And when before thy Creator thy life's
web's  brought to light,  'Twill sparkle in radiant beauty in His own 
precious light.  G. S. ALLISON.  1907-08 ADDRESSES OF GRADUATES.  Lola

Normal! What fond memories  shall ever linger round you even when far
dis­tance  separate us!  Golden sunset skies mirrored from silvered 
waters of old Pacific foretell your glorious  morrow.  Six classes have
gone from your walls before  the Seniors of 1907.  Their graces lighten
home and hamlet far  and near. Their careful service has paved a  way to
immediate usefulness for those who  enter their profession from Bellingham
Normal.  The seventh class, the Senior class of 1907,  has marked
distinction. We may say it is  representative of more than average citizens
 of the State of Washington, since its aims are  higher than pure financial
aggrandizement.  Personality is strongly assertive.  The individual members
have worked stren­uously  and few who entered with intention to 
graduate in June have met despair. The quiet-

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 8

     ----------     8 The Normal Messenger  ness of the class has caused
some to wonder  who are the "naughty sevens," as little has  been
accomplished for outward effect.  "At seventeen years many their fortunes 
seek." While little may be left within these  halls to mark it being here
the members of  this class will fill prominent and important  places in
school work throughout Washington.  The class of '07 has yet to reach the
prime  of life. This has been true of its predecessors.  This fact with
characteristics previously men­tioned  will enable the institution to
witness  more lasting and wholesome results in future  years from this
class than the past year alto­gether  indicates.  "From seventeen
years till now, here lived  I, but now live I here no more."  In all the
vigor of youth, with the bright­ness  of prosperity around it, full of
hope and  gladness, this class goes into its field. It holds  no sad
reflections; it cherishes only joyous,  happy thoughts of Bellingham
Normal, its  Alma Mater.  B. M. ANSLOW.  SENIOR FAREWELL.  We have a class
that soon will go  Into the world their work to do,  And whether abroad or
here at home,  Our wishes follow where'er they roam.  The Senior class
respect has won,  Each duty has been nobly done.  Ideals high and steady
aim,  They soon will win an honored name.  We'll miss them in our work each
day,  We '11 miss them in our circle gay;  But from the cup we drink their
joy,  Success be theirs without alloy.  We would not bid the class
farewell,  In spirit we are with them still.  We'll bid them God speed as
they start,  Extend a wish from every heart.  TYRA THOMPSON.

     ----------     The Normal Messenger 9  Y. W. C. A.  The Influence of
the Young Women's Chris­tian  Association in a College Girl's Life. 
The plaee and power of the Young Women's  Christian Association in college
life have  gained increasing recognition.  Girls attending school usually
have an ideal  in mind toward which they are working. This  ideal, in the
main, is a woman, well developed,  mentally, physically, socially, and
spiritually.  The school curriculum takes care of the mental  and physical
powers, while the social activities  are carefully encouraged. The
spiritual side  of life is practically neglected except in so far  as the
Christian Association supplies the need.  Every girl in her college work
finds her re­ligious  faith in danger of being undermined by  the new
theories, scientific and otherwise, that  are thrust upon her. It is here
that the in­fluence  of the Young Women's Christian Asso­ciation 
is most largely felt. It attempts to  guide, help, and strengthen the
Christian faith  of the girls. Each weekly devotional meeting,  each Bible
class has its part in strengthening  and deepening the religious life.  The
Association also promotes the social life  of the school. It is here that
girls from all  classes meet in Christian fellowship. Some of  the closest
friendships are formed as a result  of this fellowship and common interest
felt by  members of the Association. The very exist­ence  of the
Association indicates a sense of  responsibility on the part of the
students them­selves,  for the moral tone and religious life of  the
school. Aside from the individual good  it accomplishes this co-operation
for the fur­therance  of the high ideals for the institution  is of
lasting benefit to many. One of these  ideals that has a lasting influence
on individual  lives as well as in the general atmosphere of  the school is
the spirit of CHARITY versus  the spirit of CRITICISM that does much to 
sweeten the relations of student with faculty,  and student with student. 
The Young Woman's Christian Association

     ----------     Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 10

     ----------     10 The Normal Messenger  offers a peculiar opportunity
to those who  graduate from the institution, for those who  go out into the
world may still remain in the  Association. A lively interest in this
world­wide  progressive organization will help to keep  the young
teacher from showing the "ear­marks  of her profession." She need not
feel  that all her college ties are broken.  To summarize in a sentence, I
would say that  the Young Woman's Christian Association is  a large factor
in that ALL ROUND DEVEL­OPMENT  necessary to an ideal woman's life, 
be she teacher or follower of some other occu­pation.  ADA F. MYERS. 
CLASS WILL.  We, the Senior class of the township '07,  in the county of
Normal, in the state of Wis­dom,  do make and publish, this our last
will  and testament, in manner and form following,  that is to say:  '01.
It is our will that our funeral be con­ducted  without pomp,
unnecessary parade,  and ostentation (out of consideration of our  good
taste), and that the expenses thereof,  and all our just debts be fully
paid from the  overflowing (?) coffers of that generous body,  the JUNIORS.
 '02. We give, devise, and bequeath to our  most creditable and apt pupils,
the FOURTH  YEARS, our much desired seats in Assembly,  and the Editorship
of the "Messenger," so  efficiently and capably filled by one of our 
worthy members. We likewise bequeath to  them the right of entering the
state of Wis­dom,  as Seniors '08, that they may be spared  the
ignominy of crossing JUNIOR bridge.  '03. We give, devise, and bequeath to
our  little sisters and brothers, the JUNIORS, that  title to all of our
possessions and property, the  plantation, known as Seniordom, situated in 
the aforesaid township, during the rest of  their natural life at the
Normal, several ses­sions  of summer school included, and all

a copy of  our letters of application for schools, to serve  as models, and
to insure success.  '04. Appreciating their brawn and ability  to play
basketball, and likewise their inability  to make up "cons," we do bestow
upon the  THIRD YEARS some of our spare credits.. We  do pray them to use
them freely.  '05. To the FIRST and SECOND YEARS,  we give the privilege of
living, weaklings tho'  they are, under the careful guidance of the  FOURTH
YEARS.  '06. To the Faculty, we give a rest from  Slams, Jams and Worries,
believing in the  golden rule, "Do unto others as you would  have done by
you."  '07. And last, we hereby constitute and ap­point  the FOURTH
