Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After
Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual
occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the
school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and
co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The
program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting
through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for
all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the
day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur-
; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under
^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After
••general instructions the army was properly equipped and
turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric
as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/
Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.';
sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g
for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and
women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought,
fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the
direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all
afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race
between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's
only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring,
killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay
Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least
composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of
doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers
that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various
varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the
American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the
fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers
of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There
were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at
least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class
presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed
that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was
referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past
week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On
Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts
attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet

Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers
in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week
after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not
strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in
Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss
Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written
Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart
and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the
contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s :
; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as
Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive
"Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is
a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget
Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold
has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region. 'Rhododendrons,' a
^ ^ | | l | s t o r y of the Cypress Islands, has re- ^ ^ ® ^ c e n

, .Pictorial .Review,;' and Miss Rich returned Monday morning from a
delightful vacation in California. She says that is was pleasant from a
recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of
friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University
of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at
Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. '
There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich
visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los
Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the
work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says
that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather
work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to
do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of
philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which
was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this
summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course
designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the
amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits
will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a
quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to
divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase
of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary
reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will
be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities
of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur
photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped
with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will
get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in
which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study
the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of
developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The
victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as
folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet,
Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's
Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living
American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss
Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's
assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this
group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners
of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20.
NOTICE—RECITAL Miss Byrd Elliott, violinist; Miss May Taylor,
contralto; will appear in recital at the Garden St. M. E. church on

Pleasing Program on Friday, May 13 Jack Perine, a young and talented
pianist, was most enthusiasticalty received in last Friday's regular
assembly. Beethoven's well-known Moonlight Sonata was delivered in a most
artistic manner displaying exquisite harmony, modulation, masterfulenss
and vivaciousness in swift movements. Mi-. Perine's selections of the
extreme classical type were presented with all the powerfulness or
softness with which they were written. Especially was Debussy's Prelude
filled with an enchanting and artistic melodiousness. The Etude of St.
Saen was also interpreted in an intriguing spirit. o ; "U" JOURNALISTS

in regular as-semblv. A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by
the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of
the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest
Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by
Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked
out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted
best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds,
flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they
have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance
of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of
them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The
complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,-

Messenger is now in your hands. We hope you will like it. This special
number is published not so much for the Normal students as it is for high
school seniors throughout the Northwest who might be interested in coming
here. M a r y Hibner, special supplement editor,.deserves much praise for
Ker efforts in making this y e a r ' s issue a success. She gave
unstintingly of. h e r time a n d efforts to place a first class paper in
our hands. We believe s h e , h a s succeeded. •ft. Miss Hibner has
been ably assisted by Theo. Norby, regular sports editor. The spirit
manifested by these two students has meant much to the other members of
the journalism classes. A recent canvas among students of our course in
Civilization brought out the s t a r t l i n g fact t h a t less than n
per cent are keeping abreast of theHhnes, less t h a n ten per cent are
keeping-viri touch with the major topics o f \ t h e clay. This
.condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and
education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made
with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one
minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of
the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h
e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is
ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o
give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail
dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems
on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h
a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a
t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied
to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite
freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in
our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in
this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are
crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full
swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their
cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China,
Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers. The library with
its scores of weekly and monthly magazines, is a regular gold mine of
worthwhile contemporary information. Resolve today t h a t henceforth you
will carry a double load A PREPARATORY " COURSE IN TEACHING AND IN
CITIZENSHIP. PASSING WEEK By A . S - S . I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair
Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots.
He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and
omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and"
vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the
other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis
is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly
forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor
Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating.
But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read
him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking.

«prmaiftinBtructoTSy~throw | u p Last week someone waxed eloquent on
the lure of the carnival. What is a carnival except a crass explanation?
Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty.
But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and
side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of
doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of
pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss.
After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves
to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in
the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact
that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much
ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is
offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr.
Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor
Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space
with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their
question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather
be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood,
don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are
people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the
human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps
the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except
in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m

are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord
and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't
original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o
outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o
collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e
material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make
detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very
cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making
notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the
right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and
outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what
we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't
be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of
chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t
has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher.
— —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the
article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of
p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any
more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not
change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either
for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space,
and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many
things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole?

events occurred on the last Viking baseball trip. It was learned that a
carnival was going in full blast at Ellensburg, and as a result McClurken
was connected with it. It was called "Zeke's One- Ring Circus." »
» » * "Bolivar" Estill, they say, got sicker than a dog riding
on the whip. How come Myron? Eddie Wingard and Bob Wiley met some of
their old playmates at Ellensburg, and took them on a fer-ris wheel ride.
Have a good time Eddie and Bob? * * * * EXTRA! EXTRA! FLOWER THIEF
"Hank" Durr steals flowers for some woman friend at Ellensburg. It's
tough to be so popular isn't it Hank? * » * * Even though the
Viking Diamond squad did have a good time on their trip, they sure
scalped the Ellensburg Wildcats. The Wildcats might be good, but Coach
Harold Keeney's men are better. « * » * Heard from an
Ellensburg girl after dinner:. . "Where's that curly headed first sacker
of yours?" Of course she was referring to Bob Wiley, the beautiful
blonde. * * * « P. S. Bob Wiley hit the ball three times on the
trip. * * * * Ask Zeke why he wanted to get out of the bus . Keeney and
Cooper had something to do with it. * * * * Art Isaacson was caught
under the table in Ellensburg. What was he hiding from? * * * * : Bob
Wiley mistook a soup bowl for a finger bowl and was caught washing his
hands in it, and wiping his hands on a napkin. » » * * Eay
Odell doesn't want me to say anything about him, so I won't. I think he
is afraid of his reputation. * * * * All high honors go to Eddie Wingard
for the homeruns he hit. The left field fence must have been very close
to home plate. o BELLfNGHAM HOLDS 5 OUT OF 14 NORMAL RECORDS Meets
Have Been Held Since '20. Vikings Have Captured Their Share of Meets.
Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal
teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to
be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the
Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The
.first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings
coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets
were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings
in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney.
Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition
Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set
of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds
five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile

Sluggers From Ellensburg Three Knocks During Six Innings. "ZEKE" IGNITES
FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday
morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who
faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke"
McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third
inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored
on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing
pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save
him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen
bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the
meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the
stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved
disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second
home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke"
caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home
run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the
opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies. Box

tomorrow we got 50 points, thereby winning the Tri-Nor-mal track meet;
that Hemmi took the 100-yd. dash and the 220 event; that Meek took the
2-mile run; and that the Vikings placed in the 440. * * * * Oh, yes, I
could see Kirvin Smith leading the low hurdlers to the tape and Art Allen
was jumping the length of the football field. * * * * Kewpie Wingard was
chasing little black cannibals and throwing his hefty javelins in an
attempt to lay low his enemies. * * * * As the dream faded I saAV Al
Kors-boen placing as he went over the last hurdle. You know that Al has
developed the high hurdles. We wish him luck. * * * * • You know
we all have dreams at times so you must bear with me in mine. * * * *
The dream ended with a grand set-to of Vikings, Indians and Wildcats, all
in a jumble. * * * # This may be early or late, (which?) but it just
came to my mind, (Oh, yes, I have one) that I heard a couple of our
Normal students making a comment at a football game once. Sez the young
man, "They say the fullback is going to kick off." And sez the
Co-ed—"I didn't know he had been injured." » « * #
Neither did .we. * « » * Oh, hum. (yawn, yawn,) I'll see yuh
tomorrow at the meet. Hope you don't lose too many milkshakes or win them
either (they make one fat). Tri-Normal Net Stars To Tangle on Sat.

WILD CATJtAM Normal, After .a Hard Fought Game of 10 Innings, Wins by
5-4 Margin. EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell
Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop
pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings
triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10
innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an
inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole
third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next
inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up
sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the
Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham
to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a
home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In
the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the
next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball
over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's
descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and
proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame,
scoring one run to win the game. Summary—Earned Runs: Bellingham'
4; Ellensburg 4. Triple, Odell. Doubles, McClurken, Wingard, Ruble. Home
Runs: Odell, Wingard, Rubles. Struck out: Wingard S; Hedlund 8. Walked:

;Sfrp?n Tea-Hounds ^ahd Sharp-shooters i u 5 ? Entertained by
Famous % f Baseball Nine. ^•^Ii?s the way they cook weenies on
Coney Island" explained Mr. Ruckmick, rolling his cold dog around on the
rusty top of the camp cook-stove, on the annual Philo picnic. '•;
'"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking
yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown
rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly.
"HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is
putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre
Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat,
after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's,
not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the.
box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated
mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish,
after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with
charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal
fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each
others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera
Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having
done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the
would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a
Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or
not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The
variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John
Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add
would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre
Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and
insured transportation to most df the club members. House Notes SEHOME

h%rassistant Mildred MaudWfhifiple Giitesa Fqsri^ing^ of A dventures in
China Mjss Maud Whipple gave an interesting account of her escape from
Nanking, China, at the Y. W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the
foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that
the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American
and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for
them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose
home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of
twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had
driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return
to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began
looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and
doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob
to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were
kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The
servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the
soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and
disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's
brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only
one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest
reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American
government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese
officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are
hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese
teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The
University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY
DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham
Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly
Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was
enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores
"Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated.
The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a
"Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the
Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing
uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented
by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs,
ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game
and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A.
A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical
thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy
cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's
luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's
go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at
Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance,
journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic
conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the
outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes
amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor,
gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought
the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus
For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the
Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so
sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and
gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure
white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his
dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping
only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his
chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our
campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us
until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these
birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural
cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their
ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The
nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six
pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of
twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The
twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this
bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last
week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14.
Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys
Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon.
Agnes Skaglund visited her home in Sedro-Woolley during the week end.
