WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 NO. 21 E IS STILL ON; M i r HAVE
SIGNED UP School Annual Epitomizes all That is jrfest in School Life. '
The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best .in Normal School life. It is a
record of achievement. Hundreds will keep and cherish it as a memorial of
some of the happiest and finest days of their life. Everyone who has a
hand in the task wants this year's book to be a monumental achievement,
surpassing all previous attempts—a bood that, both in appearance
and contents, all subsequent generations of students may strive in vain
to equal. Two hundred fifty literary and illustrated pages bound in a
beautiful blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and living record of Normal
activities for 1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun. Eggert Burns
and Robert Caulkins, Editor and Associate respectively, may never be
literary genuises but they undoubtedly will put out a Year Book that will
surpass both in size and quality any Annual ever put out by the Bellingham
Normal. The Klipsun is put out. not in the interest of any individual
nor any certain group of individuals but for the good of all the students
of this school. As has been iterated and reiterated through the columns
of this paper, the publishing of the Klipsun is a costly undertaking.

For the past two weeks, members of the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club
have contributed their talent to eight programs. They have told stories
to P. T. A. meetings, local and also those of near-by communities and
assisted at several assemblies and missionary meetings. From all reports
the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs
are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have
filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington
school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The
debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal
Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1.
This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of
the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham
alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school
which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent
ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision;
so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find
a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative
team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will
travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative
EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the
Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position.
Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election
being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency. The
choice of a trained editor for a second term is a decided step toward a
better type of school paper, a demand for which has been insistently
expressed by students and faculty. B. S. N. S. (Continued on Page Two)

games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave
to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the
Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight
players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The
first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first
game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was
played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27
in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the
Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and
White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with
Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane
College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had
participated required all their pep and consequently they could not
handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as
the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for
Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as
follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34;

blowing through the open windows of the school room, and George
Washington was the momentous question in hand. "Why do you think George
Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'."
Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was
the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny,
"but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history
says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him."

highly, and have tried to keep one of each issue." B. S. N. S. THAT
SERIOUS LOOK. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's
grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great
desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not
to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is
playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took
on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious
look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious
lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are
really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too
hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To
over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a
movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so
down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're
right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a
midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the
serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances
are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion. B. S. N.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
23,1923 _ Z GIRLS HAVE FIRST GAME OF BASKETBALL MONDAY The first
scheduled game of the girls' basketball was played Monday in the small
gym, between the Alley Gang and Edens Hall. The game was interesting but
one-sided; the Alley Gang team winning from the Edens Hall team by a
score of 46 to 13. Remarkable team work was shown in the winning team.
The guards took advantage of every opportunity to check the ball, and the
forwards seemed to merely look at the ball to make a basket. The Edens
Hall team was one chosen from girls who live in Edens Hall. Their
representatives were: Ethel Dow and Pearl Whitmore; guards, liable Hickson
and Julia Whitmore; forwards, Molly Curtis and Emma Coffman; and one
substitute, Sarah Murphy. The Alley Gang team was a picked up team of
some of the best basketball players of the Normal. The team was composed
of: centers, Carla La Vign and Beatrice Thomas; guards, Marjorie Morrison
and Ruth Gill; forwards, Agnes Tweit and Violet Mitcliam, and one
substitute, Bernice Judson. B. S. N. S. Prize Awaided. Softly and
gracefully they glided over the floor, stepping thru the intracacies of
the fox trot. They seemed to float thru the mystic ether impelled by the
rythmic throb of the music. The sleek-haired gentleman glanced confidently
over the moving crowd, then down at his comely partner. Demurely she
smiled back at him. All eyes were upon the pair. Who could they be? Was
this some famous royal pair escaped by devious paths from the clutches of
the raving reds of Russia? Could it be two at whose beck and call the
most graceful dancers of an emipre once performed, now forced to
entertain others for a mere pittance? No, such was not the case. Could it
not then be two famous danssants stopping for a pleasant moment at the
Bellingham Normal? Might not that flashing eye, those graceful movements
belong to Mische Itoe himself? Might not the lithe lady be none other
than the- one and only Madame Pavola ? No, it was none of these, it was
actually Bill McNeil and Bee Anderson, showing the grace and form which
won for them the prize trot Friday. The prize trot was such a success that
it has been decided to continue it. The latest thing the social committee
is considering is a prize for the whole quarter. A realty worth-whle
reward will be given, the opinion so far favoring a watch. Position,
grace, appearance, and general conduct on the dance floor will be the
deciding factors. Bill and Bee have the inside track now, so the other
Valentinos and Irene Castles will have to start early and avoid the rush.

PHILOMATHEANS HOLD BANQUET AND MEETING ONE FAR-AWAY STUDENT. Saturday
night, February 17, the Phi-lomathean club of the Bellingham Normal
School, held their annual banquet in the Pheasant Tea Rooms at 0:30
o'clock. To say the least, the banquet was a wonderful success and will
long be remembered as a red letter day on each Philomathean's calendar of
time. The Tea Rooms were very attractively decorated in the Philo colors,
green and white, boxwood shrubs, and the Philo emblem, while pussy
willows, green and white streamers, and green candles decorated the long
white table. The five-course banquet dinner was proclaimed ''marvelous"
and ••great" by 50 hungry Philomatheans, and each did healthy
justice to it. At each plate was an attractive little place card
containing a booklet which held the name and program and carried out the
Philo emblem. After the banquet dinner a very interesting program was
given as follows : Toastmaster Herbert Cederberg Song Donna ,K1 inker
"Philo Husbands" Roswell Oliver Piano Solo Dorothy Clark "Philo Wives"
Mrs. Sam Carver Group of Songs Margaret Saddler "Philo Students" Robert
Tunst-all Duet Dorothy Clark, Byron Payne This annual banquet given by
the Philos is always attended by a large number of alumni Philos who take
this opportunity to get acquainted with the new Philo members; thus
establishing a stronger union and good fellowship among all of the club
members. B. S. N. S. Teacher: "What is your name?" J. J.: "Jule Johnson,

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and
I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs.
Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to
Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit
here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to
take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple,
as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught
piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach
Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature,
and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected
with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was
the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary
of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma
Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth
while. B. S. N. S. Fashion Show in Prospect. Miss Longley's class in

developed into a fashion show 'in which mannequins, dressed in these

RISSER IMPIE SAARI ELSA THORSTEINSON The iv'psun sale is progressing
rapidly. More and more students arc beginning to realize the necessity of
buying one, and accordingly are "signing up." Oliver Ingersoll, business
manager, reports that the work of getting signatures will have been
practically completed by the first part of next week. Students who are at
present uncertain as to whether to buy a Klipsun or not, should decide at
once and assure themselves of getting one. B. S.N. S.—. SOCIAL
COMMITTEE PLEA. Greater support and co-operation from the student body was
stated as one of the things needed by the social committee. The committee
hopes that more students will realize that it is not a mere.go-between but
a body with a very definite mission. It is not a negative group trying to
tell anyone what not to do, but is a very positive group, working toward
the goal of the most and best social activities possible. Under the
regime of this year's social committee a great deal has been done. An
unusually large number, of dances have been fostered by the committee, and
some actually given under its supervision, as the Friday afternoon dances.
Play hours have been provided, that all may be entertained. In every way
the committee has tried to aid and further social activities of all sorts,
but it is willing to admit that more might be done. The best way to get
more done is by co-operation from the student body. In the matter of dance
posture, the best possible spirit has been shown. There has been a ready
response to all requests for what few changes in posture and style the
committee has deemed it wise to ask for; but on the other hand there has
been a great fault of omission. People have been heard to mumble, "Why
don't we have more of this? or better of that?" But when pinned to just
what they want and how it can be secured, they don't know that. That the
committee is open to suggestions and will work on them is shown by the
way it took up and put into effect concrete suggestions that were made for
better music on Fridays and Mondays. If you really want something and have
some advice to offer, see the committee. Cooperation means bigger things
with less work. Give the committee a helping hand. This social committee,
under whom precedent on dance events is being made wants to set a standard
for future events. —V. G. L. B. S. N. S.- HOW WELL CAN YOU SPELL?
You may be clever and studious but if you can't spell correctly , you are
like a violinist with one of his violin strings broken. Judge Edwin S.
Thomas of Hartford, Conn., gave a spelling test to several government
officials, lawyers, and big business men. The test consisted of ten words
in common use. These words were: Supersede, innuendo, inoculate, rarefy,
vilify, repellent, plaguy, embarrass, harass, and picnicking. These are
all words that one can use in ordinary conversation without getting a
reputation for having digested "Webster's knowledge. Yet not one of these
business men could spell all ten correctly. SEE WORTH WHILE MOVIES. Are
you careful to select moving pictures that are worth seeing? A great many
of your opinions and ideas are unconsciously formed as a result of the
movies you select as recreation. These opinions you, consequently, impart
to your friends. It is of vast importance whether or not your opinions and
ideas are the right and proper kind. See pictures that will benefit you
morally and mentally. See pictures that will miake you a little better. In
this way, by patronizing worth-while pictures, you yourself will help
censor the wrong kind of movies. B.S. N. S. What does the beginning of
the new quarter mean to you? Do you consider it as an opportunity to be
made the most of, or do you consider it as one more quarter of necessary
drudgery? Make it mean opportunity and a new chance to make good, by
discarding your carelessness and shiftlessness of last quarter. Be
ambitious and take the extended opportunity. —A. L. CORRECTION.

Esther Loomis. REVEILLE ISLAND. "An island is a body of land completely
surrounded by water," states "Dynamite," famous endman in the W. A. A.
minstrel show. Reveille Island is far more than that. It is one of the
beauty spots to be seen in a trip to the head of Lake Wnatcom and it is
the source of interesting tradition and probable historical facts.
Reveille is situated a mile or so above Nbrmalstad and forms an added
attraction to our eighty acres. Normal students will probably become very
familiar with the island as the eighty becomes improved. The island rises
high above the water in a betutiful dome, covered with evergreen trees
and underbrush. The sides of the island slope abruptly into the lake,
leaving no beach and adding to the beauty of its form. Two thrilling
traditions are told of the island. Many, many years ago, when this
country was first settled, by white people the Indians fought, hard for
their hold on the territory. Their last stand was made upon this little
island in the center of Lake Whatcom. The English soldiers besieged' the
little tribe and after a plucky show of endurance, starvation threatened.
The Indians, being true warriors, would not surrender and so one morning
just as the sun was peeping over the surrounding hills, they silently
threw themselves into the lake and sank out of sight. As the last man
disappeared the sweet tones of the morning reveille floated across the
still water from the English camp. The island has since borne the name of
"Reveille." Over two hundred years ago the territory around Lake Whatcom
was claimed by an Indian tribe as their hunting ground. Their t war-like
neighbors desired this valuable ground and war ensued. The defending
tribe secreted itself in the underbrush on the island. As the enemy
approached in canoes some slight movement disclosed the hiding place of
the Islanders. A furious fight followed, both tribes launched in canoes',
sending arrows at their enemies and trying to tip their canoes. Many
Indians from both sides were soon trashing around in the blood-stained
Avater. Suddenly they were one and all drawn steadily under the water and
their frenzied cries brought help from their friends. As they grasped the
hands of their rescuers the pulling increased and the remaining canoes
were capsized. One Indian alone escaped and spread the news of the
dreadful undertow that surrounds the island. To this day no Indian of the
Puget Sound tribes has been bribed, coaxed, threatened or persuaded in
any manner to set foot in a boat on the waters of the "Devil's" Lake.

Belton's valiant music conductors continued to show themselves equal to
the occasion. The three young ladies Avho led the community sing in the
assembly Monday, managed to put lots of vim, A'igor and vitality into the
songs. The students and faculty rallied to the call. Miss Arlita Eller
was compelled to leave school Saturday, February 17, because of poor
health. She expected to graduate in May. Arrangements have been made so
that her credits for this quarter will not be lost. It was hoped that a
crowd could be gathered to attend the Washington State College Giee Club
entertainment at Mt. Vernon, February 22. Because of the expense
involved, this pan was abandoned. Individuals from the Nor-malwere able
to attend and enjoyed the program immensely. Mrs. Lovegren of the
Commercial department, was one of the favored few. For the first time in
the history of their school W. S. C. is sending a Girls' Glee Club out
over, the state. Their program is said to be better than that put on by
the boys. Whatcom High School is planning to sponsor an entertainment put
on by these girls in the middle of March. Ruth Markham visited with
friends in Burlington Sunday. Ruth Ostle, a former student is teaching
at Grandview. Mr. KJemnie has been asked'. to dedicate the new high
school building at Rochester, Wash. -The building is a beautiful one,
built by a consolidated district. It is' to be dedicated March 2.
Margaret Schilling, who is teaching at Concrete, visited over ithe
week-end in Bellingham. She also attended the Al-kisiah banquet. Clurles

contributed a group of Jap anese folk tales Wednesday afternoon at the
meeting of the Presbyterian Missionary society held at the home of Mrs.
E. T. *Mathes. Edith McCall was the week-end guest of her sister, Irene.
She is teaching in Bremerton. Ethel I. Lewis,, a graduate of '20, is
teaching at Cosmopolis. Irene McCall and Floris Clarke were hostesses at
a "feed" Friday evennig, to the other members of Jenkins hall. The honor
guests were Edith McCall and Irene Goss, of Bremerton. It seems quite
natural to some of the students of the Normal to see Dr. Nash walking
around the school and campus, Sunday afternoon. Miss Ke'eler and Miss
Cummins en-tertaned for Dr. Nash Sunday evening by inviting in a number
of his friends for a few hours of pleasant conversation. This month has
been one of especial interest for the Junior High School pupils. The
English work has been composed of poems and prose on Americanism. All
types of patriotic forms of literature have been studied complimentary to
the great men whose birthday come in February. The girls of Enger Hall
enjoyed a Valentine party Saturday evening. Through the efforts of the
entertainment committee everybody enjoyed an evening of games and
contests, after which dainty rfreshments were served. Anyone who has old
furniture to sell cheap see Miss Osborne or Miss Johnson. The 7a Nature
Study class enjoyed a lecture last Monday by Mr. Phillipi. The topic upon
which he spoke was "The Sun, Moon and Comets.' Friday night the Junior
High School boys played a basketball game with the boys of the Jewish
Sunday School. They were victorious over the Jewish \boys wth a score of
7-3. This victory closes the basketball; season for the Senior Hi boys:
.;'•."•; ' Marjory Downes gave a very interesting reading in
the-Junior High assembly Monday oil ^The Cat That Walked by Himself," by.
Jvipling. The second floor of the house at 618 High Street presented an
appearance over the last week-end that might easily have been mistaken
for a hospital. Most of the time two of the girls were out of bed and
assisting Mrs. Bowman, the house mother, as nurse. Helen Fraser and
Frances Combs managed to hang over as pitients for several days, but the
others went to school Monday. The Extension department is sending out
letters to Washington high schools suggesting as commencement speakers,
Mr. Bond and Dr. Miller. Mr. Bond, who is head of the Mathematics
department^ will speaK on: "What mean ye by the Stones?" Dr. Miller, head
of the Education department, will speak on "The American Spirit." Both
speakers are very capable and the high schools which obtain them will be
fortunate. Members of the class in Rural- School Problems, "education 25,
are now presenting to the class results of their study in specific
problems, which were assigned earlier in the quarter. Time is allowed for
constructive criticism from other members of the class, concerning these
results. Miss NelHe Wallace gave an interesting report to the Education
25 class, concerning, a course of study' in Nature Study for the rural
school. - Dr. Nash Visits. Dr. G. W. Nash, former president of
Bellingham Normal, who is now president of the Congregatonal Foundation of
the Congregational Church, spent Sunday, February 18, in Bellingham and
spoke from the pulpit of the local Congregational church. Owing to the
fact that Dr. Nash spent Saturday in Portland and Monday in Seattle^ he
was unable to greet the faculty and students of the Normal, for which he
expressed his sincerei, regret. •Mr. Robert Caulkins and Miss
Frances Farrar are to play prominent parts in "The House Next. Door,"
which is to be-put on by the Bellingham Players on the evenings of March
2 and 3, at the Whatcom High Schol auditorium. The Players is a new
amateur dramatic organization, under the management of Victor Hoppe, of
the Normal school faculty. The purpose of this organization is to develop
the latent dramatic talent among the people of Bellingham. No salaries
are paid to any of the actors or actresses. Wlien the new fine arts
building, which is being built by James, J. Graham, is completed, the
players will have their headquarters there and will hold their
performances in its'assembly, hall. . In the near future the Players'
expect to put on the "Return of Peter Grimm," with Mr. Hoppe in the
leading role. •. — B. S. N. S — — ...

scene, before dinner. Second scene, after dormitory parties. About 11
o'clock. Scene I. It is Friday evening, and the dorm is in its usual
Friday evening confusion, but this .evenng it is not because of a student
-affair, oh no, the girls are not selfish, this is a Faculty Party. "Will
they all come? Did you see those funny little kid games on the tab'o.
girls? Parehesi, table horseshoe, checkers, and lots' of others. I bet
they'll have' a "good time, don't you? Miss Slmey said not to disarrange
the furniture, .Agnes." Scene II. The scene, and the view is changed.
The girls arc back from the party downstairs, and are interested in what
is going on in the social hall. No one seems to be a bit sleepy..
"Goodness, is the faculty still there? I thought they'd gone. Is there any
cake left? You' go and see, no one will see you, there are some girls in
the kitchen, you can find put from them. You, couldn't get any? What a
shame. Listen they are dancing now. Say girls, who wants cake when we can
ese tlie faculty members enjoy themselves?" 'Come. Do'ores, I've •
found a good l)iace. See, .we can turn out this hall li«ht and we
can see from the ba.-k stairs window." Slowly a crowd of kimonoed girls
gather around the window. "Oh, look! " We can see it all. Miss Be'ton is
paying the piano." "I see Miss McDonald passing out the cake. Miss '
Shuey said- it was. devil's foo-1 and angel's food." "Oh, never mind the

"Miss Wood.ird is dan-i.ng too." "Look, isn't lie a good dancer?" He
dances right by the window all the time. Who is he, anyway, Prav.'e':"
"Oh, T guess he's the new Prof." "Aren't they ever going? The students
can't stay this late. I certainly like to watch them dance, tho." . "Say,
girls, run, here conies Miss Long and Mr. Philippi with the dishes. Don't
let them catch us here." They, run down the back stairs. "My, that Avas a
scare; I never ran down stairs so fast in my life. Well, I guess they are
going. We can get back safely tliis way.' Yes, they are going! There are
on'y two couples on the floor now, aren't there? That's Dr. Miller. I
believe he's just learning. He is going to stay till the last dog is hung.
He certainly is human. He has a good time, doesn't he?. There, the lights
are out. Let's go and see if there is anything left." " The girls
quietly approach the social hall, and finding all quiet they enter the
room recently so merry. "I found a valentine. I. bet it was the first
prize. Whoever won it was more interested in the dance than the prize,
evidently." "Is there anything in the kitchen?". "Nothing but some lump
sugar." "Oh, dear, a n d ! got so hungry watch- 'n lt;r Mr. Heckman
dance!" "Let's go to bed; We don't need any devil's food anyway." "Good
night, ladies; Good night ladies." The crowd disperses, and quiet reigns
once more. -B. S. N. S. iTUDENT LOAN FUND EXPLAINED BY DR. MILLER Few
of us.ever give a thought to the Student Loan Find. In fact a surprising
number of students did not know that such a fund existed, until Dr. Miller
spoke of it in assembly on Monday. At present, this fvnd exceeds $17,000.
and in the last year, over two hundred students have received aid. This
loan is for the sole purpose of he'ping students who can not otherwise
graduate, or who are in serious financial difficulties, it is not for
personal convenience, and is not a scho'arship fund. To receive this
loan, the student must apply to the faculty committee. After the
committee has approved, the loan mav then .be obtained at the registrar's
office. Money will not be loaned to pjop'c who have poor grades, when
someoir: with higher grades needs the help. Students are urged to piy b
gt;ck this loan as quickly as possib'e. It is nr-t necessary to return
the loan in one sum. B. S. N. S.- D'uiarhter: "A certain young man sent
some flowers this morning." Mother: "Don't .say 'a certain young, man,'
my dear. There are none of 'em certain till you've got 'em. - B. ;S. N.
S.- Fink Frank: "Ha, Ha! I had a good joke. I was going to tell but I
won't." .' Tiny LaJRouche: "Why- not?" Fink: "Because if your face lights
up. the powder will explode." . LEGISLATIVE NEWS DIRECT FROM OLYMPIA A
bill has been introduced into the legislature which will make the state
normals, four year teachers' colleges. If the bill is passed, the normals
wi'l then have power to grant degrees in Bachelor of Arts and teach major
lines for the professional training of teachers, school superintendents
and school supervisors. They would also be able to train high school
teachers. This would undoubtedly increase the enrollment thereby' add to
the importance and prestige. The teachers' pension was made state wide
when it was passed by the" legislature, last week. This is the same law
which is in practice in some of the larger cities. B. S. N. S. —
MISS FRANK ( ^ I N S ; ; ^ RECOGNITION INEAST MRS. VAUGHAN GOES TO
MEETING IN SEATTLE Mrs. Vaughan attended the meeting of the Puget Sound
English Council, held in Seattle during the latter part of last week. The
meeting was held in Philosophy Hall at the University of Washington. The
two important topics of discussion before the council were dramatics and
journalism in the high school. Among the speakers were Mr. Fulton, of the
new Roosevelt high school, in Seattle, and Dean Spencer, head of the
department of-journalism at the University of Washington. .. Joseph
Asbury, of the Lincoln high school faculty in Ta-coma, was also expected
to speak but was detained because of an accident which occurred on the
way. Mr. 0. B. Spernlan, formerly of the Stadium high school faculty, was
elected president of the organization for the coming year. ' —B.

Normal track prospects. At present, according to official notice,
prospects are optimistic. Material for both track and field events is
plentiful. The next thing is to convert the cinder pile into a level,
hard track. Work will soon be continued on our field and it is to be
finished in time for use. Meets are promised, with Ellensburg, Cheney
and the College of Puget Sound, with the possibility of a meet between
the U. of W: and B. S. N. S. • B. S. N. S. Subject—A Picture
Appreciation. Title—The Unexpected Reply. The lesson in picture
appreciation that I observed was in splendid progress. The children were
able to name at on;e every picture that was described to them. F'n-ally
"The Shepherd's Star" was described to the class and everyone named it
correctly. The the pleased and enthusiastic teacher asked, "Now why are
you so sure it was 'The Shepherd's Star' and not the "Song of the Lark?"
They are very much alike and can be easily confused." • • . '
Up shot Doris' hand, and she was accordingly called upon. "It would have
to be "The Shepherd's Star" because the "Song of the Lark" isn't here
anymore. You took it away yesterday." -—-Order Your Klipsun Carl
(passionately): "Margaret, darling, I have a secret to whisper into your
ear—where is it?" I wonder if there is anyone in school who does
not know the women's assistant physical education director? I'm sure
everyone has missed something arid' someone who is an inspiration arid
guide to higher things if they do not. N,o one '.would thnk we have such
a noteworthy character in our midst as Miss Regina Frank.
•"-;'.•'; Miss Frank is a graduate of the Rel-lingham State
Normal school; and of the American College of Physical Education,
Chicago, Illinois. " While in this Chicago school of physical educaton,
Miss Frank was a leader in all sports. In the fall term the girls turn
out for field hockey and soccer—the teams are chosen in November and
all the games are inter-class games. In the winter the girls turned out
for vol-, ley ball. Miss Frank was a member of each team. Volley ball is
the popular game in the east, and the American P.. E. College entered the
Chicago tournament. Thirteen games were played and in each the Chicago
College of Physical Education wei'e victorious, and won the gold cup
trophy which was offered by the Amateur Athletic Federation. In the
spring, indoor baseball, track horseback riding and swimming were the
sports which Miss Frank also took; up. . An honor emblem is offered by the
Chicago Physical Education college for. the two best all ''around
athletes in the school. We are not surprised to learn that Miss Frank was
one of the two girls winning the honor emblem.. An all around athlete, is
a wonderful asset to any school and more so when they can be a guide for
other girls in being all round athletes also, and we count ourselves
fortunate in having Miss Frank as our assistant physical education
director. B. S . N . S . Wanted. A Timekeeper. "Also, some competition

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23,1923 7 TRAINING SCHOOL GIVES
BIG VALENTINE PARTY Last Tuesday afternoon there seemed to be a great
deal of excitement among the pupils of the Training school. There was a
superfluity of smiles and good cheer throughout their whole domain. Now,
what was the meaning of all this excitement? It was for no other reason
than that the pupils felt the presence of Dan Cupid flitting around the
halls and in their class rooms. Dan Cupid was personified and represented
by the large number of pupils who, with a mysterious letter or package in
their hand would direct their footsteps to a certain large box placed upon
a "pedestal" in one corner of the hallways. This "postoffice" was filled
to overflowing with letters and packages sealed with red hearts the most
of which bore the title "To My Valentine." What was inside of the
envelopes we can only guess, but at any rate they all bore the good will
and loving wishes of Dan Cupid on Valentine's Day. B. S. N. S. —

8. BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23,1923 iExrfyattg? Stanford University, Feb. 12.
Hazing died a sudden death at Stanford. Tom Irwin, editor of the Daily
Palo Alto, decided at the time he received his hazing when a Freshman at
Stanford, that he would go on the trail of partakers of these yearly
festivities or "spanking bees." On January 31, of this year, Mr. Irwin
caught seven Sophomores of Erims hall red-handed. The hall was given the
alternative of agreeing to abandon the traditional method of discipline
and adopt a system of Senior control, or of having exa*mples made of the
seven. The sophomores decided to discontinue their methods . Their
decision was also followed by Sequoit hall. The Chinook, Seattle: West
Seattle High is boosting for cleanliness and asks: "What do you do with
your wastepaper ?" "'What do you do with the papers when you clean out
your lockers?" " Do you leave them lying around or do you put them away."
We can honestly say that our halls, locker rooms are respectable as far as
cleanliness is concerned and hope to keep them that way. The Ocean
Breeze, Aberdeen: The editor comments upon success being achieved only by
work. A great personality or a strong will power will not gain success
for you unless you back up either of these two qualities with hard work.
A person who may lack a strong personality and who is very meek may rise
into the limelight if he works. Too many people are afraid of their tasks
and shirk doing them. And according to the editorial if you are one of
the latter join Coue's followers and say to yourself every morning, "I
like Work." ' B. S. JST. S. The Right Size. It is said that once, when
President Washing-ton was riding near Washington City, with a party of
gentlemen, their horses leaped a rock fence: the last steed over kicked
off several stones. "Better replace those," suggested the general. "Oh,
someone will do that!" was the careless reply. When the riding party
disbanded, Washington turned his horse, and rode back the way they had
come; dismounting, he carefully replaced the stones. "Oh, general!"
chattered a friend who came along, "you are too big to be doing that!"
"Oh, no," replied Washington, as he stood gravely inspecting his work. "I
am just the right size." HOTEL LEOPOLD LUNCHEON 60c Table d'Hote Dinner

enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday,
February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the
Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the
topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring
quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this
could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe
to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out
their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during
the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the
discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very
animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following
approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c,
nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II.
Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5.
(Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work
and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1)
$2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition
to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10.
Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds
or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty
Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring
Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In
discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living
expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase
in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum
for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are
planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring
quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues
to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to
have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the
Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake
working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to
it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by
steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished
by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by
Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls. The sixth annual banquet of the Business
Girls' League will be held March 24th at the Normal. B. S. N. S. In a
grade school in a western city, on the 22nd of February, a teacher asked
this question: "Who can tell me whose birthday this is?" A girl rose
timidly. "Well, Margaret, you may tell us," said the teacher. "Mine,"
came the unexpected reply. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF

Garden St. £LUB (tflTtj Alkisiah Banquet Successful. The Alkisiah
club banquet, which was held at the Hotel Leopold Friday evening, was
voted a complete success by all members present. Covers were laid for
forty-five.' A color scheme of purple and gold the club colors, was
effectively carried out KILAUEA Speaking of Dante's "Inferno," Mrs.
Bunting thinks she has had a glimpse of it. To standupon a narrow ledge
one hundred feet above a steaming cauldron of fiery red molten lava, is a
thrilling experience, but—it is at the same time terrible in its
awful beauty. At least Mrs. Bunting so discovered when she watched,
fascinated, the seething lava of (Kilauea volcano on the largest island
of the Hawaiian group, steadily rise until it overflowed the mouth of the
pit. As you probably know, lava in the molten stage, flows with about the
same consistency- as -molasses: conse quentlv, one can back up before it.
"However," laughed Mrs. Buntiny, "one usuallv keeps a respectful
distance. You know.' it's really hot." At frequent intervals fountains of
fire caused by currents, send spouts like sky rockets into the air. thus
causing the most brilliant fireworks and giving an intense and lurid glow
sometimes as high as one mile above the crater. It was upon April 3.
1921,' that Mrs. Bunting, with a small party, visited Kilauea volcano.
Arrivinsr at noon they found the lava about one hundred feet below the
narrow ledge upon Avhich they first ventured out to look down into that
turmoil of moving lava. It rose steadily until it had overflowed the rim
bv one mile at two o'clock in the morn-ing. "Then." said Mrs. Bunting, "we
left, only to find in the morning that the flow had covered two and
one-half miles and had reached the foot of the cliff, upon which stood
the volcano house or inn. According to Professor Jaeger, the
voleanolosrist who lives there, it was the highest and most rapid recorded
rise in fortv years." As the fiery cataract flows out. ser-pertine and
irregular, from its crater, the lava glowed darkly red thru the crust
formed bv the contact with cooler air. The horrible beauty of this molten
river was further accentuated by the strong and suffocating gases escaping
with a hissing murmur from the lava pit and thru the chasms of the
mountain. Upon the lake of fire float two detached islands used, much as
a guage. to measure the rise and fall of the lava. These islands, it is
said, made their appearance in a most unique way. Without apparent reason
the two shot up from the depths of the lava, and since have remained. One
of the islands has with daffodils and tulle. The favors were tiny purple
booklets filled with candies. May Phinney acted as toastmistress. The
program of the evening consisted of toasts on the club traditions. Several
musical selections were also given. a cone-like cave resembling the mouth
of a whale. When currents from different directions run into the cave, it
seems as if the wnale cannot swallow so spurts out the lava with the most
orilliant gushes. The HaAvaiians have a beautiful myth woven about .the
volcano. Acordingc to the earliest legends, Pele (Pili), the goddess of
fire. dAvells here. When she is happiest the gloAV above the volcano is
brightest and the lava is the highest. About the volcano is found Pele's
hair. Clinging to rocks about the mountain it resembles spun glass, and
is the result of molten lava blown and hardened by the Avind. Legends
further relate how the small, bright stones found here and there in the
lava are Pele's tears. They are of topaz color and when hard enough are
used for jewels. "When Ave Avent up the mountain to the pit," said Mrs.
Bunting. "Ave passed over a Avell-marked trail OArer the old lava, called
pahoehoe, but Ave did not return the same wav for the simple reason that
we couldn't. NeAv lava (aa) had completely covered the trail and since
the crusted surface Avas not' quar-anteed to remain surface if a step
Avere taken upon it, Ave returned bv auto road, a detour of seven miles,

first /Kline Cup game. The Sophomores hold the cup at present, so it was
with blood boiling that the Freshies entered the game. From the first
toss-up the spectators knew that it was to be a hard fought game. At the
close of the first quarter the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of the
Sophs. During the second quarter the Freshies tried to make up the two
scores of the previous quarter but failed. By the end of the half the
score was 16 to 14 still in favor of the Sophomores. During the
intermission of halves, however, the Freshies were revived or perhaps
they were just getting warmed up, for by the close of the third quarter
they; held the highest score, 24 to 18. . Too; much credit could not be
given Agnes Tweit for her creditable playing. "Aggie" seemed to have laid
a charm over the ball and basket; so rapidly did she run up the score
during the latter part of the third quarter. The Sophomores did some
notable team work during the last quarter, their star being Mollie
Curtis. But for all the attempts they could not cover up the lost scores
and the game ended with a final score of 29 to 24 in favor of the
Freshmen. Sophs Freshies Brown Center La Vign Judson Side Center Thomas

Place: Any girl's hall on Normal hill. Time: Saturday morning, before
9:30. "Hasn't the mailman come yet?" is heard from behind closed doors.
"If I don't get any mail today, I'll just die-e-e," Avails another
woe-begone voice, the owner of which is couddled neath the covers of the
bed. Every window is the place for a sentinel to watch for the first
possible glimpse of the mail man. A squeal, a mad dash, confusion tells
the arrival of the all-important personage. Ahs and ohs followed by a
hush, tell the number of the letters. Once more, the routine of the day
is at normal until two thirty, when the mail man comes once more. B. S.

tantalizingly out of his reach. Of course there was a vase periously near
the edge of the .table, but that was of little consequence. The frisky cat
cavorted wildly around the room, trying to make the fringe forget him and
look the other way. Then with a quick lunge, he grabbed it! Down came the
