THE WEEKLY MESSENGER Vol. XVI. Devoted to the Interests of the Student
Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY
24, 1 9 17 No. 20 Assembly TAKE TIME TO LIVE! "You students work too
hard," was the opening remark made by Miss Norton on Monday while
addressing the student body, and one received with acclamation. She
continued, however, in her inimitable way, "You do not accomplish
too much, but you work too hard. Take time to appreciate life,
nature, and the beauty to be found in everything. "Is it
enough that you should admire the vividly tinted sunsets, or the
bright colors of autumn? The deep purples, subdued blues and grays of
winter possess a message also. "The doing of things is a valuable phase
of life, but do not let the doing side crowd out the seeing and hearing
part of your life. Have an open mind —see beauty wherever you
look—hear beautiful music—read good and enjoyable
books, for the pleasure they afford, as well as for knowledge.
"Take time to live! Some of us are paying too much life for living. We
must stop and live as we go along. Did yon ever stretch out on a sandy
beach ar on some sunny slope— all alone with nature—rest and
think? Try it— this sort of thing aids actual living. You will
accomplish more if you really live more. In the words of Lowell: "
'Merely to bask and ripen is sometimes the wiser scholar's ideal.'
"Then I should add a word to the 3ld expression, and say, 'Stop, look,
isten and live!' " This was Miss Nor- :on's closing remark to a very
inspiring address. TINA LERNER, The Brilliant Russian Pianist.
UNA LERNER 10 BE E 1 POWER OF A PURPOSE. We were fortunate in having with
is last Friday, Principal W. C. Weir, )f the South Side High School.
Among )ther phases of the question of ideals le mentioned the great power
of hav-ng a purpose in life—an ideal, which ;ver advances as it is
approached. "Ideals," he continued, "give a main enter to life. Our
character cannot ise above our ideals—they are the re-ult of
purposeful endeavor. They orm a standard by which we may mild our
lives—play up, play the ame, and have an aim." Mr. Weir pointed
out, also, that the atalogue of the ages shows lives that ave developed
under some definite urpose or ideal—that the lack of a hance holds
no man down, if he de-ermines to rise and follow his ideal. Students and
faculty of the Normal School of Bellingham are especially interested in
the orchestra, for the school proudly claims Madame Eng-berg, director,
as a member of the Normal music department. Miss Frances Hays, now
manager of the orchestra, was also until recently a valuable
instructor at the Normal. The program for the concert for March 2 is
highly attractive. Its numbers are: 3. Italian Symphony Mendelssohn
4. Piano soli— (a) Impromptu A Flat Major.-Chopin (b) Ecossaises
Chopin (c) Nocturne F Minor Chopin (d) Valse, Opus 34 No. 1 Chopin TINA
LERNER. .5. Invitation to the Waltz.... .Weber 6. Piano soli— (a)

(d) C'-mpanella Liszt TINA LERNER. 7. Andante Cantabile (Strings)
Tschaikowsky 5. Marche Slav Tschaikowsky 1. Merry Wives of Windsor
Nicolai 2. Concerto for Pianoforte with Orchestra Greig Allegro
Moderato Adagio Allegro Marcato TINA LERNER. On the Wednesday preceding
the concert Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee will give a
second of their delightful interpritive recitals. Mrs. Larrabee will talk
of the history and theme of some of the most beautiful numbers on
the concert program, and she and Mrs. Cross will then interpret
them on the piano. "TINA LERNER—PRIESTESS OF THE BEAUTIFUL."

work. In the lecture course number Monday night, Mr. Cooke will give his
lecture, "The Religion of Democracy," which he will illustrate with some
of his own poems.

IS STILL UNDEFEATED On Monday, Feb. IS, the Normal basketball team
returned home from a successful trip in Eastern Washington. They played
three games while away and still have their record unmarred by defeat.
The games were played with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma,
Ellensburg Normal and Pros-ser Athletic club, respectively. The two
former teams have appeared on the local floor this season, each time
being defeated decisively. . The return game with the College of Puget
Sound, was much faster than the first game, due to the largeness of the
gmn, and the fact that both teams showed marked improvement in their
playing. The final score was 30 to 14. The line-up: W. S. N.—Wold
and Kennett, forwards; Davenport and Ansett, guards; White, center.
C. P. S.—Miller, and Curtis, forwards; Woody and Hanawall,
guards; Huntington, center. Substitutions—Ford for Davenport, and
Rocky for Wold. Summary—Field goals: White, 4; Kennett, 3, and 6
fouls; Davenport, 2; Huntington, 2; Ford, 1; Anstett, 1; Wold, 1; Miller,
1, and 8 fouls. "Tii the return game with Ellensburg Normal the
Bellingham boys were in entirely new conditions. Scattered about in the
Ellensbui-g gym are large osts that at one time were paddet, but most of
which has been worn off ana in some of the warmer mixups these immovable
structures would suddenly loom up and take an active part in the contest.
The Bellingham boys, however are used to overcoming obstacles and
had little trouble in winning by the score of 43 to 17. The line-ups:
Bellingham Normal—Wold and Davenport, forwards; Anstett and
Ford, guards; Rocky, center. Ellensburg Normal—Campbell and Green,
forwards; Eaton and M. White, guards; Beck, center. Substitutions,
Bellingham—Kennett for Wold; J. White for Kennett. If it's a

Campbell, 7; Wold, 2; Kennett, 1. In a fast and exciting game the
Prosser Athletic Club was defeated by the score of 45 to 18, in Prosser,
Feb. 17. The Prosser team composed of old high school stars, were
confident that the Normal team Avould be easy meat but when the visitors
got into action their hope were blasted. The Eastern Washington boys have
a good team, but the Bellingham quintet played the best game it has ever
played and . the local five was out-clased in all departments of the game.
There was a large crowd out to see the game and the zest and vim of the
crowd did much to add to the attraction. The line-up: Bellingham
Normal—Wold and H. Kennett, forwards; Davenport and Anstett,
guards; White (Captain), center. Proser A. C.—C. Kennett and

NOTES. One of the most enjoyable meetings of the club was held last
Thursday evening. After the business meeting a short program was
given. "History of St. Valentine's Day," Miss Warren; reading by Miss
Dybdahl; song, "Corn-in' Thru the Rye," by the club. Mrs. King then read
an interesting clipping, which Miss Woodard kindly gave to the club,
telling of the life of Ohiyesa. The remainder of the evening was spent in
the big gym having a good time, especially with the new members who were
initiated. Later refreshments were served in thep rettily decorated
cafeteria. At this time appropriate valentines were distributed to the
members of the society. STUDIO CLUB NOTES. Thursday evening of last week,
the members of the Studio club met and participated in one of the most
enjoyable evenings of the year. After the regular monthly business
meeting, an interesting program was given. Miss Loutett opened the
program with a piano solo. This was followed by two vocal solos, given in
a most charming manner by Miss Hazel Dash-ley. Miss Bailey read a paper
on the life and works of Rodin, a modern sculptor. The last number
on the progrgam was a most profitable and interesting talk by Miss
Beardsley. Her subject was "Famous Pictures by Rembrandt and
Contemporaries in Galleries at Home and Abroad." The talk was
illustrated with lantern slides. The program was followed by games
appropriate to St. Valentine's day, after which refreshments were
served. The following students were voted into the- club: Alice Drew,
Jean Belch, Alice Belch, Esther Korthauer. These will be initiated at the
next business meeting. The Y. M. C. A. is not a dying
institution, but is gaining strength and influence every day. The
labor bureau, headed by Mr. Owen, is showing splendid returns, and
proves a boon to all in search of work. The program committee has
arranged for a schedule of lectures that no man can afford to miss. Plans
for a joint meeting with the Y. W.'s is under way. Thruout the semester
work will be of the very highest standard. Last Thursday morning the club
was favored by an excellent talk by Mr. Hoppe. Here are some of the
sparkling truths the speaker uttered. "There is nothing more
practical than the workings of the square deal. The time of cut-throat
methods of business has passed. The principle of caveat emptor, 'let the
buyer beware,' no longer exists. The railway companies of today shout
equal respect and courtesy towards all. Every time we take an elevator, we
see the workings of the square deal, in the responsibility someone takes
for our safety. In spite of cynical ways and expressions every man has an
innate instinct of the square deal. The attitude, 'do others or
they will do you, and do them first,' is not maintained, even by those
who profess it. There is nothing more difficult than to be honest
with one's self. It demanus ar gt; imagination to fathom the feelings of
others, to see ourselves twenty years from now, to prepare for old age, to
give ourselves and others a square deal. In the food we take, in the
hours we keep, and in the words we say, our sense of the square deal is
portrayed. A man who can't give a square deal is the one who thinks the
world has it in for him. The law of the balance manifests itself in the
rythm between give and receive. The ability to give a square deal,
demands above all else the culture of that spark of the divine, within
us, that is called conscience." Mrs. Irving J. Cross has accepted the
position of organist at the First Presbyterian church, corner of
Garden and Maple streets. Any students who are interested in church music
and choir training are cordially invited to attend an important choir
practice on Tuesday evening at the church. Mrs. G. E. Munn of
Kansas City was a guest of Miss Druse at the a r t department one
day last week. Mrs. Munn was formerly a teacher of wide experience. She
found the department to be one of the most up to date she had ever
visited and the ex-habit of hard" work excellent. Alton S. Druse of
Seattle spem. Thursday with his sister, Miss Druse. There are eighty-five
taking basketry and as many taking rural school hand work. The
coping saw work taught by Mr. Paulson and Mr. Mercer, under the
supervision of Miss Druse, is attracting a great deal of attention.

washes the dishes afterward. She gets breakfast the next morning In the

And so many things to attend to, It is not to be wondered at That she
sometimes Is absent minded. Sometimes she almost forgets To take off her
blue apron When she goes to work. One night She had a dream: She saw
herself in her office, And her assistants were with her, But they would
not go about their duties— They only stood And stared at her.
Against the pane of glass in her office door, She saw faces And
eyes—many pairs of eyes— All staring at her. "Why do they all
look at me?" she cried. "Why do they not go about their business?"
Just then She looked down And what did she see? She had on her blue
apron! She awoke. Great beads of perspiration stood on her forehead,
And she trembled violently. She arose and groped her way into the kitchen
And found the apron. She went back and woke her friend who shared her
home with her. "Promise me faithfully," she said, "That you will watch
this apron, And see That it is not on me After 9 a. m. Ever." She
shook her friend roughly— "I promise," said Margaret. Patronize

Building, Bellingham, Wash. I On Saturday evening, Feb. IS, the
Social-Democratic club bad a party in the domestic science rooms. This was
the third party that the club has enjoyed this year. The members
were divided into four groups and each group acted as a unit in the
series of contests which took place. Each group elected a leader and then
this leader chose from the number in his group one who should hold
up the honor of his group and win the prize in each particular contest.
Had the names given to the contests not been so deceiving, the leader
might have used better judgment. As it was he often chose wrongly. For
instance, for the "Broad Jump" he would choose the one who looked as
though he might excel in jumping, while in reality he should have chosen
the one who had the broadest smile, for that proved to be the nature of
the contest. There was one contest "for men only." It was a contest in a
new method of locomotion—moving forward while seated on a
board, using both feet and one hand. Starr Sutherland won the prize
but Dr. Herre deserves honorable mention. Each group cheered their
contestants, and altogether it was a very exciting race. There were about
ten different contests in all. The refreshments consisted of ice
cream and cake. Eating ice cream was not one of the contests, but had it
been a contest the object of which was to be to consume the greatest
quantity of ice cream, it is pretty generally conceded that Mr.
Bever would have easily led all others. P r i c e s M o d e r a t e .

annual senior- alumni banquet at the Leopold Friday, Feb. 16.
It was thoroly enjoyed by about forty members. Our junior members are to
be congratulated as they were responsible for its great success.
The program of the evening was as follows: Toastmistress, Frances
Ireland; song, Vida Deign; toast "Past," Maude Carfield; song,
Gladys Hamly; toast "Present," Josephine Archam-beau; song, Mrs. Colby;
toast "Future," Emily Crawford; duet, Louise Fraser and Julia de
Witt. In conclusion Miss Baker talked on the history of the club. She
told us or its life of eleven years, and of all the things in which the
Alkisiahs have been the first to participate. We have reason to be proud
of our record. ,1Y E On February .the first, the Hays Literary
society continued the study of George Benard Shaw. Vergia Fox gave a
reading of one of his plays, "Getting Married." As it was long she gave'
only the first part. Cassie Cales read an interesting article on "Shaw
and Jesus." Music followed the literary part of the program: Piano, Ruth
Morrison; ukulele duet, Jessie Bay and Lula Dieckhoff. February 15,
Shaw's play "Getting Married" was finished by Ruth Partridge. The
following piano selections were given by Miss Gardener of the Y. W. C.
A.: Waltz, Chopin; Grillen, Schumann; Voglein, Grieg. The rest of the
evening was spent enjoying a valentine party. Much merriment was
caused over a plant and flower contest. Questions were asked to be
answered with the name of some plant or flower. After finding partners by
matching pieces of valentine cards, a Virginia reel was formed and
danced. Hotel Leopold Fisher: "If 2 and 1 makes shoe blackening, and 3
and 1 makes sewing machine oil, what will 4 and 1 make?" Davis:
"Why—a. I don't know." Fisher: "Some mathematician/ 5, of course."
Fine argumentative ability was shown in the debate on National
Censorship of the Fine Arts last Thursday evening in the Aletheia
club. The affirmative side, which was upheld by Mr. Mercer, Mrs.
Vannoy and Miss Mabel Smith, attempted to prove that local censorship
boards are incapable of handling the problem, inasmuch as they lack
authority to carry out their decrees, while a national board of
censorship would have at its call the entire force of the
United States government. They held that such censorship would not
repress true talent, but would uncover the deceits which pass in the
disguise of highest art. This board of censorship was to consist of about
one hundred men paid by the government. They were then to be diveded into
several groups, the members »of each of which would be unusually
qualified to judge certain phases of art. In answer to the affirmative
argument the negative, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Bolton and Miss Mann,
replied •that force cannot remedy evil, and pointed out that should
force be emphasized in the form advocated it might under certain
conditions make it possible to abridge even the right of free speech.
They attacked with vigor the comparison made by their opponents of
censorship of fine arts to food inspection. The negative claimed
that art NATIONAL BARBER SHOP 1304 Dock Street Best in our line We
treat you right was not subject" to chemical anlysis. It is subjective
and governed by the emotions. Because of this very fact it is impossible
to assemble together a set of men Avho could judge art. Hence, after all,
the people are the final judges. The negative won by a comfortable
majority. After the debate the club enjoyed a valentine frolic in the
little gymnas^ ium. Y. W. C. A. Miss Sands of the faculty gave an
inspiring talk to the gigrls of the Y. W. C. A. Thursday, February 15, in

Good. It's Healthful WHAT? C A N D Y -*- 119 East Hollv St. RECEIVE
CERTIFICATES Mr. Thompson is justly proud over the excellent record of
his penmanship students. Over three hundred students have applied for the
first button, on merit. The folowing have completed the course and
received a Palmer teacher's certificate: Misses Agnes Bailey, Ruth
Dieson, Mollie Carson, Lea Dudgeon, Bertha A. Dooley, Helgo Nassie,
Elizabeth Arnold, Nina Hanson and Mrs. Shepherd. Did you see the
Palmer method group from this Normal in the February number of the
American Penman? Twenty of Mr. Thompson's students, who secured
certificates from him are portrayed. An extremely tall Irishman,
traveling in the West, put up at a hotel in a small town and was
shown to his room for the night. In a short time he appeared down stairs
and asked for scissors, needle and thread. An hour later he returned them
and said, sadly: "Faith, it's no use." When asked what he meant, he
replied: "Why the blanket wasn't long enough to cover me feet, so
Oi cut a piece off the top and sewed it on the bottom, but 'tis no better
now." HUSH. What's the best thing you ever have done? The whitest day,
The cleverest play That ever you set in the shine of the sun? The time
that you felt just a wee bit proud Of defying the cry of the cowardly
crowd And stood back to back with God? Aye, I notice you nod, But
silence yourself, lest you bring me shame That I have no answering deed
to name. What's the worst thing that ever you did? The darkest spot,
The blackest blot On the page you have pasted together and hid? Oh,
sometimes you think you've forgotten it quite, Till it crawls in
your bed in the dead of the night And brands you its own with a blush.
What was it? Nay, hush! Don't tell it to me, for fear it be known That I
have an answering blush of my own. But whenever you notice a clean hit
made, Sing high and clear The sounding cheer You would gladly have heard
for the play you played. —Edmund Vance Cooke. B ATTERSBY BROQ

Friday, Mr. Parish, with the assistance of Mrs. Merriman, Miss Meyers and
Miss Olden, entertained the people of Mountain View with a literary and
musical program. A large audience testified to the excellent work done.
At Skykomish, on the same date, Mr. Hoppe gave a lecture entitled "The
King Who Fell." Mr. Budde, a Normal graduate, now principal of the
Skykomish school, is a powerful factor in community work. It was
thru his efforts that the community was privileged to hear
Mr. Hoppe's lecture. Miss Vollmer's father, C. G. Vollmer, of South
Dakota, returned Sunday after, a brief visit with his daughter. Owing to
the wholesome and delightful chaperoning of Miss Nickerson and Miss
McCown, the Uunior party of Saturday night proved to be one of the
plpeasantest enterprises of the year. Mr. Bond and Miss Norton is
directing the Freshman-Sophomore party made Saturday evening a
pleasure to all in attendance. Mr. Hoppe called a meeting of the
committee governing the literary contest for the Klipsun, Tuesday,
and im-protant rulings were acted upon. Mr. Parish made a flying business
trip to Sedro-Woolley by automobile last Saturday. Dr. Nash left for
Olympia, for a conference with the legislators, Monday morning. At
the last meeting of the Art club Miss Beardsley gave an illustrated
lecture, on the life and work of Rembrandt. Miss Woodard was
one of the guests present. Mr. Edson has just issued an order for
fifteen new typewriters for the commercial department. PLUG. As you
haven't asked me for advice, I'll give it to you now: Plug! No matter
who or what you are, or where you are, the how Is plug. You may take
your dictionary, unabridged, and con it thru You may swallow the
Britannica and all its retinue, But here I lay it f.o.b.—the only
word for you Is plug. Are you in the big procession, but away behind
the band? Plug! On the cobble, the asphaltum, in the mud or in the sand,
Plug. Oh you'll hear the story frequently of how some clever man Cut
clean across thee ountry, so that now he's in the van; You may think that
you can do it, but I don't believe you can, So plug. —Edmund Vance

The second Senior-Junior Kline cup game was played at 4:10 Friday, Feb.
26, 1917, and resulted in a defeat for the Seniors. The score which was
very close, the Juniors winning only by one point, was 13-12. The first
game as we know, was won by the Seniors and the second by the Juniors,
thus giving them an equal race for the last game which will decide the
winning of the Kline cup. The game was very fast as the score indicates,
and a large crowd enthusiastically rooted for their respective teams.
This game showed more skill and practice on part of both teams, the team
work itself being better especially for the Juniors. Senior

8 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1917. JUNIOR CLASS GIVES
FRESHMAN-SOPH. BIG TAFFY PULL DRESS PARTY The Junior class of the H. S.
gave a very successful taffy-pull at the home of Alice Kirkpatrick,
Friday evening, February 2. Those present were: Miss Vollmer, Mrs.
Kuykendall, Marion Smith, Alice Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs.
Kirkpatrick, Vernon Broadbent, Elwyn Bugge and George Hunt. Later in the
evening the party was made merrier by the presence of Mrs. Mer-riman and
Miss Barbara Davis. After the program, which consisted of some most
excellent violin numbers, executed (?) by Elwyn Bugge, and a game
of "Flying Cloud," introduced by Mr. Kirkpatrick, the members
retired to the kitchen to prove their ability in taffy-pulling. The
champion was Alice Kirkpatrick. Elwyn dropped his taffy on the floor
and in his confusion and embarrassment, ate it by mistake. Vernon holds
the record for amount consumed in a given length of time. Friday
night, February 16, the Freshmen and Sophs gave a fancy dress party, with
Mr. Bond and Miss Norton as patron and patroness. Over sixty were present
and enjoyed themselves hugely, tho they could not but regret the
absence f Mr. Parish. They all wanted to see him in fancy dress, but he
was obliged to attend the Parent- Teachers' meeting at Fermlale that
night. "Eats" of ice cream and cookies were served and the
assembled multitude of Freshies and Sophs dispersed, each to go
home and to their downy beds. FAILURE. What is a failure? It's only a
spur To a man who receives it right, And it makes the spirit within him
stir To go in once more and fight. If you never have failed, it's an even
guess You never have won a high success. What is a miss? It's a practice
shot Which a man must make to enter The list of those who can hit the
spot Of the bull's-eye in the center, If you never have sent a bullet
wide You never have put a mark inside. What is a knock-down? A count of
ten Which a man may take for a rest. It will give him a chance to come up
again And do his partiftaxar best. If you never have more than met your
match I guess you never have toed the scratch. —Edmund Vance
Cooke. Mrs. Irving J. Cross presented a few of her Normal and resident
pupils in a piano recital last Monday evening at her home at 1125 Jersey

whose back was turned away from her. 'Teacher, have bears tails?" The
teacher, who is busy, glances at the picture. "Yes, on the other side."
The child upon turning the picture over, fails to find a tail and a look
of disappointment comes over her face.

touring the United States for the fifth time, and will appear in
Bellingham early next month. Miss Lerner was born in Odessa twenty-seven
years ago. Her musical gift was evident in early childhood and she was
given every opportunity to develop it. She entered the Moscow
Conservatory when ten years old, completed the nine years' course
in five years, and won the highest honors. At fifteen she was soloist
with the Moscow Philharmonic Society and appeared in Germany
and England, as well as thru-out her native country. Her youth only made
her success the more remarkable. A first tour in America followed,
then a second, and on this continent as well as Europe her art was
recognized. A third tour in 1912-13 and a Miss Sumner (in exp.):
