about school, notably better stage facilities in the auditorium. The

Did you know that the Normal grounds are a bird sanctuary? Miss: Ida
Baker worked very hard to get this Normal set aside as a bird sanctuary
but she did not live to see her dreams fulfilled. In 1921 she^ was killed
in' a streetcar accident. Her dreams did not die, however. She was the
founder of the Alkisiah Club, and through, the activities of this club
the board of trustees in 1921 set aside the Normal and' Normal Campus as
a bird sanctuary. Very little has been done since then to improve the
sanctuary. The Alkisiahg spent quite a sum of money to build the cement
bird bath on the lull side back of the Normal, but it is not kept in
working order. No bird houses have been put up, no feeding stations
established, no usable bird baths are constructed, and so i t seems this
is a bird sanctuary in name only. During the cold weather of last week it
was very difficult for the birds to get food. What a blessing it would
have been for them if food had been put out where they ootid get it:
Hundreds of varied thrushes flew over the campus daily, going from the
woods to the houses where people threw out food for them. A great many
robins are with us this winter and the?' were glad of a "hand out". Not
only the thrushes and robins, but the wrens, juncos, and the timid
towhees gathered at the homes of those people who remembered the birds.
• \ '"' It would take very little effortv or energy on any one
person's part to have this shcool a working bird sanctuary, if x all the
students and members of the faculty would put a little thought and work
on this project. The seventh and eighth grade boys could make bird houses
in their manual training classes, the various clubs of the school could
give a small amount of money to buy winter food for the birds, the feding
could be taken up in the nature classes in both the Normal and training
school. The administration could establish sevei'al feeding stations, and
repair the bird bath. In this way no. one person would be carrying a
heavy load of work. Plans to make the Oregon.Club dance to be held on
February 4th, a gala affair are now in full swing. At a meeting of the
various committees in charge of this work held last Wednesday, plans Were
formulated that will assure the Webfoot affair to be well above the
ordinary. The Melodians, a six-piece orchestra, has been secured, thus
affording a welcome variety to student dance-lovers, as every other
affair this quarter has had the orchestra led by Frannie Wilcox. k-
Those who have complained about the poor condition of the gym floor at
previous functions will have little to protest about on February 4th.
.Members of the floor committee will spend the major part of a day l a n d
ing the floor and preparing it for the Webfoot occasion. Two features
have been arranged to add interest to the dance. During the intermission
a clog dance will be given by a twain of more than local fame. Two boxes
of candy, "donated by a member of the Oregon Club, will be awarded to the
couple adjudged winners in a "Prize Waltz" contest. This formidable
title, however, need not de* ter those who are hesitant about their
terpsichorean ability. Each couple will be given a favor, containing a
number. The decorations will'' be featured by an avoidance, as. much as
possible, of the monotonous crepe paper, depressing because of its very
familiarity. When the floor is a burnished solitude, when the dancers are
leaving, you will surely know that you have known happiness. OF 1927

Photos. Orders for Club Picture-Cuts Should be in by Next. Monday. Work
on the printing of the 1927 Klipsun will begin next week according to
Katherine Leach, editor. All sophomores who have not had their pictures
taken yet will have to rush them before next week.x Club pictures will
also be taken by that time, weather permitting. Clubs desiring their
picture-cuts ordered for the Klipsun will have to pay $8.50 to the editor
or the buesiness manager of the :Klipsun before February 1; according to
the editor. Failure to do this 'will' mean forfeiting the privilege to

Contains Many Splendid Books •'What are you going to have in jour
new library building—an auditorium?" someone asked recently. Many
people are wondering what the new building is to contain; some think it
is to be used for offices, while others are doubtful as to its use. The
new building is to contain the school's present library which consists of
a very good collection of books. These books have been selected with the
greatest thought and care, and University graduates would find material
here which would aid them in their various fields of work. Many have -the
impression that it is the library that is inadequate while this is not
true. It is the reading room which is not large enough to accommodate the
students, and such a fine collection of books on the Normal shelves is
worthy of an equally fine, building, as the "school is soon to have.
Students are eagerly looking forward to such a building where there- will
be less crowded conditions. But after all, students should rememr her
that what^constitutes the library is the books, ^ r id the readers are
what make.it live.\ R E I N A L D WERRENWRATH, Famous American Baritone^

Whitten Robert Fisher Ruth Sturman YOU CANNOT D E N Y IT. No matter how
much some people may say to the contrary, there is one side of school life
that cannot be emphasized too much, the social side,: This is especially
true of a school which is training young men and young women to be
teachers. When you'get out into a community to teach school you are looked
upon as a social leader. This is probably more evident in a rural
community. " Here at the Normal .we have excellent opportunities to
partake of social functions. There is the recreation hour on Friday
afternoon. Here we form.acquaintanceships that ripen into friendships.
Here we may mingle or associate with the other students as a part of a
democratic group. In addition to the "rec hour" there are numerous social
affairs that students may attend. There are club dances, and class mixers.
The informal get-together at the hall the other afternoon was one of the
most successful of its kind that has ever Been sponsored here. Probably it
would be a good plan to have more informals of the same nature. It is
hoped that a greater number of students will avail themselves of the
opportunities to attend social-affairs for it is only by having a large
group present that we get full enjoyment from them. YES, A BIGGER A N D
BETTER, W H A T ! .. Our slogan for the present quarter and the coming
term of school is a ^'bigger and better" Messenger. The .only way that
this can be accomplished is to have the co-operation of the entire student
body. Hand in that piece of information that you think will be interesting
to the students. Give^ us that little joke. In order that our paper be
able to support itself, in part at least, it is necessary to have
advertising. When' you go to a firm downtown that "rum" paid advertising
matter in our paper, tell them you are from the Normal school; It will
create a better feeling among our patrons and the students. * MUSSOLINI ;
ANDr OPINION Mussolini says: "The world hafc noi respect' for "the man
who hias, no opinion" according to Tom Skeyhill who lectured on
"Mussolini and the Black Shirts" at the NormalAudi? toriirai last Mreek.
Verilyf : verily, for the man ^that has no opinion, no conviction or his
'Own,- is only a tool; a machine, which Ms to' be used and operated by a
..more intelligent fellow man. Jie is like the wheel of a car which the
driver handles and directs according'to his will. He does not function as
he ought to; he is ah unfortunate, living tool. Sixth Grade Studies of

stndy together, the children are now working on-a dramatization, "the
^Romance of Fur." This dramatization, involves a knowledge of the history
of fur trading in the United States including some of the most prominent
companies and the lives of the early traders. Life should thus be guided
by the principle of independent tinking, and action thru one's own
conviction. He, who wants.to be a leader, must learn to lead, and not be
pulled by the nose and led wherever someone wants him. The long, dark and
brilliant pages of history offer innumerable examples of leaders ,who
stuck. to their, own opinions. INDEX TO ONE'S CHARACTER Tom Skeyhill
says that the index to one's character. is his writing. I should say it
is. One would but have to read* Emerson's essays to understand the
character of. that much-loved American .essayist. The writings of Lincqln
portraying the the inner self of one of the greatest of American
statesmen. In _ addition to this fact, however, it might be said that one
infallible index to one's character Is his real life, the sum total of
the deeds and the small incidents that one experiences while living
Arthur L. Marsh, executive secretary of the Washington Education
Association, who has established legislative headquarters at Olympia
during the present session, is sending to each unit of the W. E. A. a
weekly bulletin affecting educational: legislation and other topics
presented by the Executive Secretary. This practice will no doubt
contribute a great deal toward bringing the educators of the state into
closer contact with the legislative assembly. The organization of a new
honorary scholarship society was announced last month at the Cheney
Normal. Just what the function of this society is to be was not stated,
but it is evident that the Cheney Normal has seen fit to apply a little
survival of the fittest, such as we have. Ellensburg Normal has made it
possible for all out of town students to be housed on the campus. Two hew
dormitories have been occupied since the Christmas holidays. A REFLECTION
OF IDEALS It is a familiar experience with anybody who has spent some
years in college that the first two or three weeks in the quarter are
replete with all kinds of social activities, which foster closer
relationship among the students, and a better understanding and harmony
between the student body and the faculty. In our own Normal schooLwe are
not found wanting in these, the apparent essentials of college life. Last
week we had the Get-together Mixer for all the students, so much boasted
of by both students and faculty members; we heard also of the College
informal, and, by the way, this club has as ONE of its aims, the
fostering of high scholarship—which was not a failure; and this
week, just watch the calendar and note how many more social functions"
are in the waiting list. (CHARLES S. MOORE) O Life! thou'rt a .wave on
the Ocean of Time, That moveth thyself to the'wind's wilful rhyme; Those
winds are the passions that stir the cold heart, That causeth. the depths
of emotions to start. Full oft, thou art fanned by the dulcets of
lovc-^—• Full oft, the deep muttering storm cloud niay move
Thee to fury, and lash thee, and cause thee to lie All trembling and white
'neath a storm beaten sky. Again thou'rt a mirror -neath the arabesqued
blue, Reflecting the gods of the pure upper air; So limpid, translucent,
thine opaline hue, That the stars in their courses seem not half so fair.
Again thou'rt a besom of woe in'thy track, Destroying-the cliffs which
stood judgment for years; Attacking the monotone creeds till they crack,
Then breaking thyself into penitent tears. Ebullient wave, there is
purpose divine, To sift out Life's actions, the coarse from the fine; To
modify, stratify, move or retain; " . - To fashion the contour of Life's
wide domain. What seemeth a

FIRST-TRI- NORMAL GAME FROMjLLENSBURG Wildcats Fall Before Bellingham
in Two Overtime Periods; Mix Is Hardest of 1927 Season SCORE IS 33-30 By
the looks and sounds of things, spontaneous yelling is more effective
than directed yelling. It is necessary - to lead yelling at a football
game but yelling should not be forced or directed at a basketball
contest. Lyman Stickney, although playing only in the last half was, in
the eyes of Tubby Graves, Frosh mentor, by far the best guard in the
Viking- Frosh contest Saturday. Eastern School Shows Unexpected
Strength, but Bellingham Gains Decision After -Game Ends. In a thrilling
contest—-one which saw the score tied at 3 3 all, with ifahit a
minute to play—^-Gheney Normal nosed put Coach Sam Carver's Vikings
3 lt; gt;33, at Cheney, last night. The mix was equal to any ever played
between two rival Normal schools of this state—-the Savages, huge
favorites to cop, barely nosing through with the victory with but a few
seconds to go. Earl Keplinger led the Vikings in scoring with .thirteen
points; Ray Odell; star forward, gathered but 7. West made 18 for Cheney.

THERE The Junior Varsity is on its way to the Championship of the second
half of the split schedule in Class B. -t Ellensbufg had a better team
than was rumored around the Bellingham Normal.. MeClurken, the fast
little Super-varsity man, has been playing some real basketball against
the City League Class A teams. Bob Fisher found the basket in the
Wrecker game. Art Isaacson's and Harry Bensen's names cannot be
separated. The world must know that they, also, played great basketball
against the Froeh.' Oscar Thorsen's work at center pot-itioa must be
commented upon. Thorsen attacked up wen against the elongated Frosh
center. FROSH DEFEATED In one of the fastest and most exciting
basketball contests ever engaged by two normal schools of this state, the
Bellingham Vikings defeated the Ellensburg Wildcats in two overtime
.periods, 33-30, at Ellensburg last. Tuesday. At the end of the regular
playing time, the score was deadlocked at 29 all; one five minute
.session saw the tie unbroken, but in the second,. the Vikings broke
loose to win the first tri-normal mix of the year. Vikings Get Early
Start. The Vikings piled tip an early lead, playing bang-up basketball,
and had a 20-14 lead at the end of the half, immediately after the
opening of the second session, the Wildcats got going and completely
outplayed Bellingham bringing the score up.to 29 all. Then came the
thrilling finish. Jensen, with his broken nose, still far from healed,"
starred for Normal, playing a good floor game and leading .the scoring
with 12 markers. _• Ray Odell who previously had scored 64 points
in three games was held down to a surprisingly low total of 4 points. The
Wildcat guards evidently had advance dope on how to check his peculiar
hook- style shot. Team Played Well The Viking team as a whole displayed
a good "brand of ball and deserved the victories. It was Ellens-burg that
showed more unexpeted strength; • The Wildcats were rated as the
weakest outfit among the three normals, but judging from Tuesday"s
performance, will make trouble continually for Bellingham and Cheney in
future engagements. The EllensburgrCheney-Wildcat-Savage set-to at
Ellensburg Saturday, February 5, shold prove exceptionally interesting.
The Viking's total score was contributed to by all the players, Jensen
making twelve points; Keplinger, nine; Isaacson, five; Odell, four; and
Bensen, three. on Strong Teams on Home Floors LEAGUE STANDING at

tonight at Spokane. Little is known of the Collegians' strength this
season, but last year Carver's men gained two easy victories over them,
BO a hard tussle is not expected for the Normalites. There is a chance,
however, that the Inland Empire boys may have a dark horse on hand, and,
playing .on their own floor, may provide some real excitement. " By
Althea Horst Raymond Courtesy vthe Bellingham Herald ; Themusical
devotees of this, city were treated to a-• piano "concert which
will long be remembered as the most artistic heard here for some time.
Charming Elly Ney, the world famous pianiste, made her first appearance
before a Bellingham audience. . A beautiful picture in, green and silver,
sheVon her listeners from the start with her gracious manner. The program
opened with the "Six .Variations in F Major" of Beethoven follows by the
"Moonlight Sonata" by the same composer. The delicate tones of the first
movement in contrast to the brilliant rendition of the last, made this
oft played Sonata one of unusual interest. A lovely romance by Brahms and
a stirring impromptu of Schubert, brought forth two encores of which the
"Spinning Song" by Mendelssohn, proved most popular. From the moderns,
/Mmo. Elly Ney chose three extremely interesting numbers th •
"March of Prokief ief f", and "Dance d'Olaf", by Pick Man-giagalli, which
was heard here for the first time, while the "Danse of Debussy*, played
with beautiful shading gave a splendid finish to the group. Responds to
Encore. . Of the all Chopin group whicvh concluded the "program the
"Ballade in A Major," proved to be the climax of' the evening. Mme.'Ney
responded very generously to two.encores, two danses of Beethoven and a
restful lullaby of Brahms. No pianist, who has appeared here, has ever
given us more real joy than Elly Ney. Such delicate thread-like playing
and the tiny belllike tones • followed by the marvelous volume
produced in heavy chord effects, certainly convinced us of her right to
the title of queen of pianists. This concert was the second in the A N
INSPIRATION TO HIKERS Or a Challenge to^the Kodaker. SNAPSHOTS WANTED
