are no doubt anxious to know the outcome of the army mental test, Alpha,
given at assembly on March 31. In giving this test, which is the group
test given to men who read and write English, the examiner followed the
directions and methods as used in the army cantonments where some million
and a half men were tested. The conditions prevailing at the assembly were
not of the best, although outside of the matter of silence and discipline
the conditions were comparable to many under (Continued on page 2.)

ACCORDANCE WITH CUSTOM SERVICE MEN REMEMBERED Last Friday the literary
clubs joined by the training school children held their annual Arbor Day
celebration. The clubs gathered in the auditorium with their pennants and
colors flying. Each club gave its songs and yells and other stunts. Then
marching two by two the clubs and the training school children went to
their respective plots on the campus, where a half an hour was spent in
tending club trees and shrubs and setting out new ones. When this was
done, all the clubs gathered about the Service Tree, a big-leaf maple,
which was set out a year ago as a memorial for the students of the school
who gave their lives in the great war. Dr. Nash gave an impressive talk,
expressing appreciation of the sacrifice which these students made. He
said that in time there will be placed beside the Service Tree a stone
tablet bearing the names of all the students of the Normal who gave their
lives in the great war. Those names which will be included on the tablet
are: Louis Gloman, Edward Altaian, Albert Emery, Herman Udenberg and
Jeanette Barrows, a Red Cross worker. Following Dr. Nash's talk everyone
joined in singing the school song, " The Blue and White," and then
dispersed. This custom of celebrating Arbor Day by the joint meeting of
the clubs was originated by the Ohiyesa Club. This club plans and leads
in. the program. The clubs which took part on the program this year were
the Ohiyesa, the Alkisiah, the Philomathean and the Ale-theian. MRS.

EVENING After months of industrious work the Choral Club of the Normal
School will render the Chinese Operetta, " The Feast of the Little
Lanterns," tonight Tinder the direct supervision of Mrs. Florence Fox
Thatcher, head of the music department. According to those who have
witnessed rehearsals the cast is well trained and carried out the Chinese
atmosphere of the operetta in a very pleasing and realistic manner. If
you fail to see this you will be missing one of the most pleasing musical
entertainments that will be offered at the normal this year. Do not fail
to be present tonight at 8 o'clock when the curtain rises. LETTERS
AWARDED TO Part of Friday's usual assembly hour was given to the bestowal
of the season's honors upon the " basketball" men who represented the
school throughout the past season. Coach Carver made a short speech of
commendation after which the players were called to the rostrum
individually and heartily applauded by all present. Captain Bartruff
received the letters from the coach and distributed them among the
mmebers of the team with a few hearty words.. The following men received
letters: Harry Bartruff, George Monroe, Herbert Yoykston, Carl Sangster,
Max Jenkins, Elwood Davis, Mac Pherson, Irwin Black. Three rousing
cheers were heartily given to the men of the second team to whom the
success of the first team was largely ascribed.

of twenty-two hundredths of one per cent the Senior Class won the Herald
Marathon trophy cup last Saturday. In the final.count it was found that
126 Juniors, or 41.14 per cent of their entire enrollment, reached the
summit and 61 Seniors, or 41.36 per cent, thereby giving the cup to them.
Only seven faculty members were able to make this strenuous hike. Several
groups started a little after midnight in order to be among the first to
the top. Elwyn Bugge, Arthur Bowsher and Kenneth Selby succeeded in "
outclimbing" other groups on the trail and reached the top first and
signed up at 1 A. M. Groups left the Normal at all hours of the day, the
last group signing at the top at 4:55 P. M. One hundred thirty Juniors,
sixty Seniors and seven faculty members signed the book during the day.
Some did not stop at the top, but went on back to the meadows, Freygang
and Lost Lakes. These are beautiful trips and no one can afford to miss
them. If you did not go on the Marathon, plan a hike in the near future.
VISITORS SPEAK AT Y W. C. T. U. AND SETTLEMENT WORKERS TELL OF THEIR
EXPERIENCES The Monday morning assembly was a very interesting one. The
first speaker was Miss Charlotte Hammond, who is a representative of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She attributed the success of the
present day prohibition law to the work of the teachers in the public-
schools of America, whose work for the past twenty-five or thirty years
has been most noble. She said the work of the teachers of (Continued on

school affairs during the past year, being president of the Junior Class
for the first quarter; secretary of the Board of Control, and has been
under graduate representative of the three normal schools of the state to
the state field secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Bernice Day and Herbert
Yorkston also have spent all, or part, of their school life in the Normal
School. Pearl Ingalls and Florence Baker entered the school last
September and will complete their course in May, 1921. Mr. Bond was
elected by the students and has served as faculty representative for the
past few years and is well suited for the position. The faculty have not,
as yet, chosen their representative but will do so in the near future.
The last meeting of the present board will be held April 27th and the new
board will take office the following week, for the ensuing year. VISITORS
SPEAK AT MONDAY ASSEMBLY (Continued from page 1.) today was to impress
on the minds of the children the importance of the prohibition law. She
said that whether or not alcohol was kept out of our country depends on
the teacher and the young people of the land. She also maintained t h a t
the foreign element resent the prohibition law and the teacher also has
this attitude to combat. The children must be taught that alcohol is a
poison and the salvation of the temperance work rests in the message they
carry into the homes of the nation. The W. C. T. U. activities cover other
fields than prohibition for they are also interested in the suppression
of other stimulants and narcotics. No child who could be made to
understand the principles of the American government, and who appreciated
the fundamental laws of our democracy, would break the law then by the
smoking of cigarettes. She thinks that the de generation is due to the
lack of understanding in the minds of the youths of the nation. This is
largely due to the teacher who has not impressed the law on the boys and
girls. The speaker urged a larger interest in the essay writing contest,
as she said amazing work has been accomplished in this field. She
concluded her address with this thought, " To be a perfect American, one
must think not only of the past, not only of the present, but of many
countless generations yet unknown." The second speaker of the morning
was Mrs. Firman, from Chicago, who spoke on " Indian and Arabia." She
spoke of the three most marvelous sights of her journey. Her talk was
very entertaining and instructive. She concluded by gathering the people
of the world into three groups: The pessimists, the optimists and the
"pep-tomists," who say, "let's go out and do it." Mr. Bugge rendered two
very pleasing violin numbers. He was accompanied by Miss Pearl Ingals.

which the soldiers were examined. The writer is willing to grant that the
results may have been more favorable under other conditions, although the
scores made indicate the relative ability of the students within this
group and can be compared in general with the results at other schools
and in the army. First, as to the significance of the scores, as
interpreted for military use. The rating furnishes a fairly reliable
index of the subject's ability to learn, t o think quickly and accurately,
to analyze a situation, to maintain a state of mental alertness, and to
comprehend and follow instructions. " The score is litt le influenced by
schooling." The meaning of the letter ratings is as follows: "A," very
superior intelligence. This grade was ordinarily earned by only 4 or 5
per cent of the men examined. " B , " superior intelligence. " B "
intelligence is superior, but less exceptional than that represented by
"A." This rating was obtained by eight to ten soldiers out of a hundred.
" C + , " high average intelligence. This group includes about 15 to 18
per cent of all soldiers. " C," average intelligence. This includes
about 25 per cent of the soldiers, and is the group containing the average
individual in the mass of population. " C —," low average
intelligence. About 20 per cent. " C — " men are usually good
privates and satisfactory in work of routine nature." " D " and " D
—," inferior and very inferior intelligence respectively, including
about 15 and 10 per cent. " B " intelligence is capable of making an
average record in college. " C + " intelligence can not do so well, while
mentality of the " C " grade is rarely capable of finishing a high school
course. Of those students who took the test on March 31, 30.6 per cent
received the r a t i ng "A," 45.3 per cent a " B , " 21.9 per cent a " C
+ " and 2.1 per cent a " C." Ratings as recorded for the Juniors and
Seniors and the men and the women separately give the following tables:
TOTAT. RATING % A B C+ C No. Juniors girls ....26.6 49.2 22.6 2.5 195

2.7 218 All Seniors.. ...33.9 44.0 21.1 0.9 109 As might have been
expected, the Senior Class made slightly higher grades. A comparison of
the median scores in points, being the number of correct answers, shows
that the Senior girls made about five points more than the Junior girls
and the Senior boys about five points more than the Junior boys. There is
an approximate difference in the median scores of the boys and the girls
of the same class of 12.5 in favor of the boys, which would seem to
substantiate the conclusion drawn at other schools that the test is
fundamentally a test for men. We must remember in all of our use of this
test that it was devised for a specific situation and that we can expect
a variation when it is used under conditions other than those originally
planned. DON'T MISS THE OPERETTA " T H E FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS "

on the 9 o'clock interurban. Mr. Hennis, from the University of
Washington, made a short talk in assembly Monday morning on behalf of the

the bond. Mrs. Edyth Cotterall spent the week end with her parents in
Clear Lake. She was accompanied by the Misses Metta and Louie Stanley.
Marie Olsen Turner spent the week end in Tacoma with her mother.
Although the weather was rather threatening in the morning of Arbor Day
and Marathon Day, the afternoons were as pleasant as one could wish. This
shows that it does not always rain when we have some activity planned.
The pupils in the Fourth-A class of the training school won an arithmetic
contest from the Fourth-B class Friday. A most pleasant evening was
enjoyed by all those present at the birthday party in honor of Miss Alice
Neander at the home of Eleanor Simpson at 931 High Street, Saturday
evening. The bewitching games led many to surprise and open confession.
The good time was brought to a close by a few songs in which every one

very pleasant hours at their regular meeting, on Thursday evening, April
15. I would say that the time was divided into three periods; the first
of which was devoted to an important business meeting, the second of
which was used in the presentation of a clever little play, and a third
of which was occupied by the consuming of some good " eats." In the
business meeting we planned several social activities in the near future,
among which are a few beach parties, a house party, a banquet and a trip
to Mt. Baker. The play given for the entertainment of the members of the
club was a clever one-act comedy entitled " Weeping Wives." The character
parts were played by Mr. Irish, Miss Jacobs, Mr. Walters, Miss Besp Brown
and Mr. Griggs. The club is planning on pre-senting to the. public an
evening of four one-act plays. After the program was over we went down
to the cafeteria parlors to see what surprise the refreshment committee
had in store for us. We all enjoyed some fine eats before the happy party

Lendhart OPTOMIST, PESSIMIST OR PEP-TEMIST? Into which class do you fall?
That is a very interesting question for every person to ask themselves.
Mrs. Firman spoke briefly on these three classes and Dr. Nash showed that
we had at least one Peptomist in our midst when he read an announcement
immediately afterwards. But we have a great deal more than one peptomist
in the normal. Why not demonstrate that fact by writing some real peppy
school songs now that the humorous poem contest is about closed? That's
one way to show the world that we're alive and going at the Bellingham
Normal. Hard work may soil your hands but not your character. To say the
very least, we were exceedingly fortunate during the past week to have so
many educational speakers at assembly. Even more of the same style are
promised for next week. A great deal of vital importance and benefit to us
can be acquired at our assemblies. THREE CHEERS FOR SONGS THE LAST WORD
One week from today, at midnight of April the thirtieth, to be exact, the
Guy S. Allison humorous poem contest will come to a close. Up to this time
a total of fourteen poems have been published. Some have been published
that were not decidedly humorous, while in other instances we found it
necessary to print poems offered for the contest merely as literary
contributions — not that your poetry was not appreciated, but that
it could hardly be classified as humorous. This, then, is the last
occasion upon which we will be able to Urge you to contribute in this
contest. Time and again we have urged you through the columns of the
Messenger and in assembly. This has borne fruit to the extent of fourteen
poems, as we mentioned above, and we should like to see the number of
contributions rise to twenty before the end of the week. It does not seem
too much to expect twenty humorous poems from this student body, when
almost any day you can walk down the hall at noon and find a hundred or
two persons with smiles on their faces. What causes the smile? If it's
worth while, write it on paper and let's all share the fun. We wish at
this time to thank all the students who have contributed or who may do so
during the next week, for so doing. Without the assistance of all, whether
your poem wins or not, it would have been impossible to make the contest a
success. We are also confident that the student body greatly appreciates
the interest of Mr. Allison in this normal school as manifested by his
offer in this contest and with regard to the trophy cup in debate. This,
then, is the last word we shall on the subject. It's up to you to raise
the number to twenty during next week. Write yourself, urge your chum or
roommate to write and see how much you can do. Our interest in school
songs has increased very noticeably in the past week. We all know the
reason. In the first place Mrs. Mayhew's words in assembly brought the
matter forcibly before us and made us realize how we really need such
rousing songs pertaining to our school, its faculty and its activities;
and in the second place Mrs. Thatcher's spirited song practice has
kindled new interest in all students. We feel grateful toward every member
of the faculty and appreciate their kindness toward us as students. Let
us show our appreciation in writing and singing songs — songs to be
sung on various occasions — faculty songs that would consider our
faculty as a body and to individual members as well. Various occasions
demand a song that would consider the whole group — when they march
into the auditorium in procession, for instance. One thing to be
especially careful about in our song composition is rhythm and accent. Too
many syllables often spoil the rhythm, likewise too few syllables often
destroy the best. Songs might be sung to an individual faculty member in
recognition of the activity he or she may be promoting. Let us show our
appreciation in song! — CONTRIBUTED DO YOU SUPPORT YOUR CLUB? and
pencils in our hair? Does it look very well to see our young girls, who
intend to go out into the world as fair examples of modern civilization,
wear their pens and pencils like the hair ornaments of some wild barbaric
tribe? Stop a moment to consider it from the standpoint of sanitation as
well as neatness of appearance. There we see a girl with her pencil in
her hair coiffure. Now she takes it out to write a few lines, then feels a
stray lock fanning her cheek. The nearest and safest place to put her
pencil, while she replaces her hairpins, is between her teeth. Think of
the thousands of germs on that pencil from her hair! Again she writes and
replaces her . pencil in her hair by " jabbing' 'it in ferociously and
breaking many hairs in the procedure and the lead rests against the scalp
of her head. Of course it is a thoughtless as well as a handy habit to
have, but wouldn't it be just as well to drop it after thinking of its
disadvantages? Buy a clip for your pen or pencil and fasten it to your
book or in your pocket. — ALICE NELSON Do you belong to a literary
club? How often do you attend its meetings? Just when there is a social
party or entertainment or do you always go and give your support? How
many new students have you influenced to join by your boosting? In the
few weeks that are left of this quarter, what are you going to do to help
improve your club? — EDNA GERHART Get the song spiritj Write a song
and cheer someone's weary heart. When you see someone with a long face
and an armful of books, sing to them. Be original and sing a school song,
full of life and "pep." Boys! Why not sing a rousing song to the girls?
Fall in line, follow the crowd and sing. — IBE D. MENZE THE LAST
WEEK TO WIN $10 The Klipsun literary contest, just closed, has resulted
in the following awards: ; Stories — First prize, George K.
Stephens; second prize, Pearl Stoughton. Incident — George
Stephens. Essays —First prize, Letha Ducom-mon; second prize,

tide has turned and from now on victories are slated'for the Normal
baseball team, according to Mr. Carver. Tuesday evening our boys defeated
the Fairhaven nine in a seven-inning game at the Elks Park by a score of
8-0. Saturday we play Whatcom. Everybody come and see our team repeat the
trick of Tuesday evening. BASEBALL SUPPER The Skagit County Club gave a
supper for the Mount Vernon baseball team and the home team Friday
evening after the game at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hargett. A good time
was enjoyed by all. DON'T MISS THAT TEN DOLLARS "BE A PEPTOMIST" From
now on the baseball team is going to make a better success. To do this
does not depend on the players only, but on you. In order to win, they
must have plenty of cheers, therefore, be a booster. Let us not only say
that it is possible to win, but say, "We are going to win." TENNIS As
the weather is growing nicer our minds all turn to outdoor sports. There
are more turning out for tennis each week. The classes in tennis started
Monday and several of the students are making their gym credits by turning
out every day for an hour. In about a month the tournaments will be
staged which will decide the champions of the school in men's singles and
doubles, women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles. THE LAST WEEK TO
WIN $10 AN OFFERING Sitting alone in the twilight as the shades of night
descend, impelled by a sudden impulse, I grasp with haste my pen, and
although with fear and trembling I dread the censor's slash and come near
laying it down as in a moment of weakness I recall that editor's frown, I
glance me again at the Messenger — to page three it is open wide
— and there right before me as if my own neglect it would chide, I
see in bold, black letters a title which is in my memory set, its words
are only three figures and its sum is " Lest We Forget " — a
suggestion timely given by our own good student, Huggins, namely, Arthur
L., who would never accuse me of being poetic, especially of aping the
modern Amy Lowell. The theme is of local interest, and it covers the
ground very well for it talks to us all very plainly of a need long felt
on the hill, a place to house our enthusiasts when the games of ball are
staged and make us feel quite dignified and not like a flock of birds that
are caged. And now I'll stop for a moment for my thoughts are flying
wild and my hands and legs are shaking, I feel like a frightened child
— I'm about to address the faculty, a body grand and austere, and
ask them just for a second in a look that may be askance, back over the
road they have traveled to take one silent glance, and then to answer
truly, as they expect us al lto do, of the times they spent in college
what now to them seems dear. I'll bet — excuse the English —
I'll bet you two to one that it was out on the bleachers they had the
"mostest fun." So although our Normal is the best that ever was made, a
glance back over the hill that is olden and down through the valley of
the present and over the future plain is more than ever could be said,
there is still a fact that remains and it is this: Come hit or miss, we
need something to make us sing. So let's begin to try to win if not in
full a stadium, then let us pull for what we can, and veery man shout
GYMNASIUM ! — AJTOM Mous DEMONSTRATES TO H. E. GIRLS Mrs. Folner,
traveling demonstrator gave a demonstration to the home economics girls
last Thursday afternoon on the making and the use of mayonnaise salad
dressing. Everyone who was there felt that they had spent the afternoon
very profitably and all had changed their minds about disliking oil salad
dressings after tasting that delicious salad with Mrs. Folner's Thousand
Island dressing on it. DIAMONDS By CIIAS. O. POWELL All the diamonds in
the world if gathered together would form a pile about as big as a pile
of coal the truckman dumps down the chute at the basement entrance to
your house. If the pile had a base diameter of eight feet and were
rounded into a cone, it would be five feet high and have a value of
$4,635,547,480. There are 46,355,474 karats of cut and polished diamonds
in existence. In terms of avoirdupois they would weigh ten and one-half
tons. The United States is the greatest diamond buying nation on earth.
For years we have absorbed from sixty to seventy per cent of the world's
output. A recent estimate places the value of the diamonds in this
country at $1,350,000,000. A fashionable jewelry store in America today
carries more diamonds in stock than were in all Europe when Columbus
sailed from Palos. THE LAST WEEK TO WIN $10 W0MENS APPAREL OF QUALITY

6 THE WEEKL YMESSENGER, FRIDAY,
APRIL 23, 1920 REED HOUSE Of the nine Juniors living at this house six
arose early Saturday morning and climbed Chuckanut. Edna Dalziel, our
only Senior, also showed her loyalty to her class. Edna Dalziel, Ida
Ahlstrand and Grace and Thelma Court made a trip out to the bulb farm
Sunday afternoon. etc. two large cakes were brought in. The captains of
both teams cut the two cakes — one cake being blue and white, the
other green and white. Games upon the lawn preceded the picnic supper.
Both teams and all we girls certainly enjoyed the evening and think the
president, Mrs. Hargitt, a dandy scout. . JENKINS APARTMENTS Ellen
Whillans spent the week end at her home in Everett. The Jenkins
Apartments was well represented at the Marathon. Several of the girls
visited the bulb farm Sunday afternoon. STEPPEITES Friday night the
Steppeites gave a " hard times " party and every one came dressed for the
occasion. Many games were played during the evening and we ended the
party by seeing who could tell the best ghost story. Among those present
were Misses Eacrett, Flinn, Hughes, Kessler and Nichols, and Messrs.
Bancroft, Elder, Pickney, Roe and Wynne. Mr. Johnson spent the week end
at Ferndale. The Steppeites were well represented in the Marathon.
Everyone reached the top of Chuckanut some time during the day. Last
week Mr. Roe displayed a great fondness for farmer's back yards and
raspberries. — WILLIAM ELDER ALETHEIANS The Aletheians hiked to
Flat Rock last Thursday evening. After examining and standing on the
large rock, a crackling fire was built nearby. Miss Crawford and Miss
Longly proved skillful fuel earners. Gladys Hughes, with stick and paper
in hand, dramatically lead in the club songs and yells. Marsh-mallows
were deliciously toasted over the hot ashes. Vivian Croxford was a
faithful guide in retracing her steps to the normal. — GOACE WATSOK
Elizabeth Oneal and her sister, Mrs. Miller. Margaret Carmen, Eva Aim
and Clara and Adena Kallander enjoyed an auto ride Sunday afternoon to
Birch Bay. Olga Heggem hiked to Lake Padden Sunday with Stella Lowry.
They will probably climb Mt. Baker soon, as they are expert hikers.

the guest of Lyla Robbins. Henrietta Welch and Olga Heggem attended the
birthday party given in honor of Miss Alice Neander at the home of Miss
Eleanor Simpson Saturday evening. ' — RUTH NYBERG OHIYESA
Thursday evening the Ohiyesa Literary Club met on the campus and went
down town in a body to the American. After the show the members of the
club went to the Pheasant where they were served with an " Ohiyesa
Special." EDENS HALL NOTES Climbing Chuckanut was a popular diversion
for the Edens Hall girls on Saturday. Three of the members were among
those who signed the book in wee small hours of the morning. They
especially enjoyed the wonderful sunrise. After partaking of a sumptuous
breakfast on the summit, they returned home early in the forenoon.
Another party left the hall at 9:30 and reached the summit soon after 11
o'clock. After enjoying a very appetizing lunch and admiring the
wonderful view for some time, the party returned early in the afternoon.
Each girl reports it a most delightful experience. Miss Ethel Vigfusson,
of Seattle, was the guest of her sister, Bertha, over the week end. We
all unite in congratulating Pearl Ingalls, who was elected to the office
of vice president of the Student Association on Friday. Cecil Bolander
spent the week end visiting friends at Blanchard. Maud Elliot spent 'the
week end at her home in Seattle. Agnes Clippinger was a Seattle visitor
over the week end. We are glad to report that Lorraine Winters is able to
be out again, and has returned to her home at Stanwood. Lessons in
Swedish are taught by a very competent young lady in room 25. Office
hours 10 to 10:30 P. M. — CORINNE CASTLE DAVIS HALL Davis Hall is
pleased to welcome Miss Edna Owens into their midst this week. We are
very glad to have Miss Owens with us and hope she will enjoy our good
times. JAMESON HALL Jameson Hall was awake bright and early Saturday
morning for, wasn't it Marathon Day? All were ready to hike at 5:45 and
they did hike too! Some came home at noon, others late in the afternoon
and all reported having had a grand time. SKAGIT COUNTY CLUB The Skagit
County Club entertained the Mount Vernon and W. S. N. S. baseball teams
at a picnic supper at the home of Mrs. Hargitt. Following the appetizing
sandwiches, pickles, beans, coffee, HARRISON HALL Alice Nelson, Elene
Johnson and Edith Smith spent Friday night with Pauline Noll and Mayme
Boganoff. Beds were made on the floor in order to make sleep a little
more possible than could be otherwise hoped for. At 4:30 the next morning
this group started on a most enjoyable hike to Mt. Chuckanut. Mrs. Hartt
and her sister visited friends in South Bellingham Sunday evening.
GEROLD HOUSE Last week the house held a meeting for the purpose of
electing new officers. Adah Long was elected president and Vera Rocene
reporter. Miss Grace Thatcher and Miss Adah Long spent an enjoyable
Sunday afternoon visiting the bulb farm. Miss Frankie Roe was a dinner
guest at the home of Miss Leota Vesterwelt Saturday, — VERA ROCENE
CLARK HALL NEWS All the Clark Hall girls climbed Chuckanut Saturday. We
had four Juniors and two Seniors. Upon descending at 12:00 o'clock Flo
Smith and Hazel Peterson hiked on to Blanchard. Miss Katherine Barnum
entertained Elizabeth Brandstad, Ebba Natterlund, Hilda Woodburn and
Kathrine Davis at dinner Sunday. We five Skagit Countyites at Clark Hall
surely enjoyed Miss Hargitt's picnic supper in honor of the baseball
teams Friday evening. — KATHRINE DAVIS ALUMNI FIVE-2-FIVE Several
of the girls spent the week end out of town. Margaret at Marys-ville,
Alta at Everett and Seattle and Ruth at her home in Burlington. The girls
who attended the Skagit County Club party at Hargitt's Friday evening
reported a good time. Five of the girls climbed Chuckanut on Saturday.
Florence Townsend attended a house party in Edison given by Helen
Schwartz, a last year's graduate. THE CEDARS A tired but a happy bunch of
girls arrived home about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon from climbing Mt.
Chuckanut. It was the first trip by most of us and it was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. We were pleased to welcome a new girl, Marie Loga, to our
household Saturday. Owing to sickness in the Cosmopolis schools, Mr. E.
Ralston arrived at the Cedars Wednesday night. Rosa Kiser and Ruth Nyberg
enjoyed a delicious picnic dinner at Whatcom Falls Park Sunday as the
guests of Mrs. Hazel Shires McBeth, for several years a school teacher
and a graduate of the Bellingham Normal, died recently at a local
hospital. Funeral service? were conducted from the chapel of St. Joseph's
Hospital and interment made in Bay View Cemetery. EDENS HALL GIRLS HAVE
WELFARE OF DEAN AT HEART " Oh, horrors, girls! Look out the window!"
shrieked a feminine voice, whose owner seemed to be greatly agitated. At
once a mad scramble started for the windows. What did they see? A tall,
womanly figure walking down the street, in the sunshine, without hat,
coat, rubbers or umbrella! Remembering our acting dean's admonitions as to
the proper street apparel designed to keep us from the undertaker as long
as possible, they rushed madly to her room. " Here's her hat! " "Where's
her coat? Here it i s !" " There's her rubbers in the corner! " " Get her
umbrella, and hurry! " With these various protectors of the health of the
human anatomy they rushed madly down the street to where Miss Mead stood
too stupified to move. What did it mean, this sudden exodus from the
otherwise peaceful interior of Edens Hall? In due time explanations were
made and Miss Mead saw the joke and laughed heartily with the rest. DON'T

THE
WEEKL YMESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1920 7 HUMOROUS POEM NO. 13 FATE By
TOPSEY When I left home that fateful day not very long ago, I little
dreamed what was in store for me; I little dreamed that all my life would
henceforth be one glow, So little of the future can we see. In careless
mood I strolled along as I had oft before, Nor gave much heed to those
that passed me by, Nor realized I'd meet my fate in just a few steps
more, So siletly does Cupid's arrow fly. Then beheld — but O, mere
words are cold and senseless things When one's whole being throbs with
stinging joy — I never saw such deep blue eyes, my memory still
clings To hair of gold, a gold without alloy. Then he saw me — and
O, the light that shone from out those eyes, Such adoration I had never
had, Our souls rushed forth to meet each other in a glad surprise, While
both our hearts were beating as though mad. With eyes still holding mine
he came, and stood beside me there, I held my breath for fear I'd break
the spell; Then slowly I put forth my hand and touched that golden hair,
While with emotion deep my breast did swell. Though all my years may
number more than the three score and ten, That memory time can never
swallow up, For that embrace I never can forget, the one, O, when I
held close to my breast that — collie pup. HUMOROUS POEM NO. 14
JIM By JOHN BROWN Where he worked with no great speed To have things go
just like a charm, Was Jim's idea indeed. The farmers all around knew Jim
He was so lank and tall; My, but he was so very slim Would fear to have
him fall. His trousers were of the brightest green, Though now faded by
the sun; But the green was still in evidence When he began to run. A
patch on the knee was seen, His ankles they did show, His feet were
shaped much like a bean And, oh! how they did grow. His face was of a
reddish hue, His teeth were hit and miss, His ears were huge and Jim knew
:.cWhen around them the wind did hiss. His arms dangled from his sleeves
grim, His hands like mallets were, His fingers were so round and slim,
Many times bitten by a cur. His neck was long, just like a pole, His hair
was straight and thin, His eyes were bugged and they did roll When a fair
maid did look at him. Oh, lucky Jim, long may you live To grow up taller
yet, And then perhaps some day can give Some good instructions to the
fat. And be a member of the facultee And teach both great and small,
Tell them of many things you see, Expound advantages of being tall. The
following contributions from Miss Sperry's English I are welcomed:
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE There was a trial being held in a large city and
there was nothing but circumstantial evidence against the man who was
being tried. Harry, who lived in a suburb, heard his parents talking a
great deal about the trial and circumstantial evidence. One day when his
father was going to the city he asked Harry if he wanted anything. The boy
said, " Please, Dad, I'd like a quarter's worth of circumstantial
evidence." A TRUE STORY Austin: " Who was Burbank ? " Austin's little
sister: "Don't you know who Burbank was? Why he was the man who invented
boneless hams." YOLKS AND JOKES " Say, Hazel, what are you doing,"
curiously asked her little, brother. " Oh, I'm beating soap and water to
put on the cake," Hazel demurely replied. "Huh," sniffed Albert; "You're
not either. You're beating some eggs with the jokes left out of 'em." IT
WAS VALUABLE It happened in a little country school-house. The teacher
asked the sixth grade language class to pretend that each had received a
beautiful necktie for a Christmas gift, and to write a letter to the
sender telling him how much he valued it. The next day Henry was asked to
read his letter. He read, " Dear Friend: The necktie you sent me was very
pretty, it's value was ten cents." A GENTLEMAN'S EXPERIENCE While I was
eating dinner at a Seattle cafe my attention was attracted by the
entrance of two young women who seated themselves near me. Busily engaged
in reading some of the news, I was not aware of their departure some time
later. When I went to the cashier to pay him I was surpi'ised to find a
bill of four dollars and thirty cents against me, which he informed me
included that of my sister and wife. As I stood there protesting and
denying the possession of either wife or sister, I noticed a silk
umbrella left near the table. I agreed to pay the bill, but as I left I
picked up, the umbrella. I had not gone far when the two women, returning
for their umbrella, recognized and immediately claimed it. I was
explaining to them that I had paid for it, and endeavoring to keep it
when my arm suddenly hit the hard bed post. THE WINNING PARAGRAPH Miss
Caskill, a public school teacher of New York, won the second week's prize
of fifty dollars. This was given by the Literary Digest for the best
paragraph on " Topics of the Day." The winning paragraph is: " We, the
teachers, desire a living wage because we are laboring that patriotism
may walk unmolested throughout this land; that good government may be
fostered, and that education of the people, by the people, for the people
shall not perish from the earth." Mrs. Thatcher likes to tell the story
of the time her father tried to put an organ in a church many years ago
when the minister was very much opposed to it. He succeeded in bringing
one in for Sunday School, but at the close of the service it was pushed
back against the wall and locked. The minister came in, looked at it and
sighed, then looked again and sighed. After a while he faced his
expectant congregation and said, " If any of the brethren feel like
praying he may do so, but I can't with that ungodly thing a-settin'
there." A REMARKABLE BOY The little bright-eyed, five year old Jean Bart
was sitting on the door step of his home, his long, yellow, curly hair
glistening in the sunshine. Mr. Fox, a stranger in the village, passing
the house, was struck by the remarkable beauty of the lad. Stepping up to
the boy and giving.him a dollar he said, " Here, my boy, is something with
which to buy candy. The boy thanked the man politely and said, " Will it
make any difference to you if I give this money to Mama, for her
birthday; it will make her so happy." ARMENIAN PLEADS FOR HER COUNTRY
(Continued from pagre 1.) tive Armenian, in behalf of the oppressed
Armenian people. The people of Armenia for five hundred years have
worshipped Christ, and stood by the church of Christ. And at what a
sacrifice ! The cruel heel of the Turk has almost overpowered the poor
Armenian people. In 1895, 60,000 Armenians were slaughtered by the Turk
but that was nothing compared to the murders of the past war. Babies were
thrown into the Euphrates river by the thousand to escape the cruel Turk.
All these horrors could have been escaped if they would only say, " Yes,
Christ is false! " But, no, they knew too much! The appeal for these
suffering people was so genuine and touching that we feel assured that
the response will be liberal. In addition to Mrs. Firman and Mrs.
Krikorian who spoke today, several other noted visitors are in store for
the Normal School. Governor Louis F. Hart will be with us on Monday, as
will also the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Dr. Chas. Moore, chairman of the
ocmmission of fine arts, spoke to us at a special assembly Wednesday
afternoon, while on Thursday Robert C. Craven, the humane evangelist,
gave an illus trated lecture. HEROISM Heroism is always the same,
however the fashion of a hero's clothes may niter. Every hero in history
is as near to a man as his neighbor, and if we shoul dtell the simple
truth of some of our neighbors, it would sound like poetry. —

cold morning. They both walked along with their hands in their pockets.
Suddenly Isaac said, " Why don't you talk, Moses?" Moses said, "Well, you
just freeze your own hands." THE LAST WEEK TO WIN $10 Sadie critically
viewed the eggs she was sent to purchase. " These are not fresh," she

the way of punctures." Automobile Agent: "All right. I) can sell you
either a wheelbarrow or a baby carriage." — Judge. WANTED — A
good cartoonist; subjects furnished free of charge. We have some good
ones. For instance, did you see two Juniors vigorously " sipping milk
through a straw" at the top of Chuckanut last Saturday? And have you ever
seen these same Juniors out strolling after dinner in the rain? We wonder
if that's all, and if only we had one more cartoonist! — Selected.
THE LAST WEEK TO WIN $10 A small boy was scrubbing the front porch of his
home the other day when a visitor called. " I s your mother in?" asked
the visitor. " Do you think I'd be scrubbing the porch if she wasn't? "
replied the youngster. — Exchange. The Myrtle Club made the
Chuckanut Marathon 100 per cent strong. How many others did? They all

Bartruff — If you see him frothing at the mouth, don't worry; he

think some one has spilled a can of benzine pay no attention to it; he
lias shaved and used some gasoline for face lotion. Tom S. Harrison

WEEK TO WIN $10 " I want a pair of shoes for this little girl," said the

not," was the answer; " She is my own child, right here in Chicago." THE
KINDNESS OF MR. KANDALL shoe irate born GOOD ADVICE Bite off more than
you can chew, Then chew it. Tackle more than you can do, Then do it.
Hitch your wagon to a star, Keep your seat and there you are! —
Exchange. It was 8 o'clock when I found that I had forgotten the
essential equipment for the Marathon. I must go back to school and try to
get into the locker room where my gym bloomers were kept. We tried the
front door, back door, side door, but in vain. Soon we struck a bright
idea. The janitor would be in the heating room. So we went to the said
room and pounded on the window to which the janitor turned on the steam
and the light. Then we could not make him hear and at last we found the
door and walked in. With a smile he said, " Of course I will open the
doors." In through one door, another, another and the gates which had
formally barred us were open. We got our paraphernalia and thanked Mr.
Kanall who replied, " Oh, that's all right; I opened it three times before
for others tonight." Oh those girls who forgot their gym bloomers; what
would they have done without the kindness of Mr. Kanall. I am sure I
could not have climbed. Chuck- 1 anut Saturday without them. — A
STUDENT THE LAST WEEK TO WIN $10 " SORROW There are some people who
hoard up their sorrows as a miser hoards his gold. And when they have
spare time they take them out and count them as the miser counts his
treasures. There is no use of grieving and being sorowful; it only wears
your life away. Just throw them away and refuse to call them when you can
help it. The more sorrows you remember the poorer you are. —
