to Climb Mt. Everest Sinclair Island is " T h e heroic attempt . o f the
1924 Mount Everest Expedition ; to : climb the highest mountain in
theworld, •will be related by Captain John Noel, the expedition's
official photographer^ when he lectures here next Thursday, November 17,
in the auditorium at 8:15 p. m. The lecture will be illustrated with
several thousand feet of motion pictures— the official record of
the fateful attempt to ascend the "Monarch of the Himalayas", which
resulted in the death of two members of the party, Mallory and Irvine
when but a few hundred feet from the summit of the mountain. ; . "Epic
of Everest" The "Epic of Everest" will be graphically presented by
Captain Noel, who has had unlimited exper-ience aB a photographer with
mountain climbing expeditions. His story of 1924 expedition i s one of
strange and heroic adventures, of a great struggle against _ terrific
natural forces amid cold and tempest, in the rarified; atmosphere on the
very roof of the world. I t is a story of failures and triumphs, and
through the aid of 'the motion picture camera. Captain iSJpel brings a
complete and graphic -record not only of the ascent, but also of quaint,
mystic Tibet—the Unknown. V Through Tibet The expedition, in
preparation for i t s climb," traversed parts of Tibet which no white man
had been permitted to enter before.^ There were found many strange
people, little knows to the outside world, with odd customs and leading
sensual lives. H To travel over Tibet, the Unfriendly, to visit the
fortress monasteries of the~Lamas, to venture into valleys, snowfields
and glaciers never before seen by man, and finally to ; .climb to the top
of the world's high- ':'• est peak—these were the reasons for
: the 1924 Mt. Everest Expedition, and •Captain Noel has succeeded
in bringing back with him,, the story of its experiences. . /.f"v.-

mixers yet, is to be held tomorrow evening, at eight o'clock, in the big
gym. It is the Freshman Futuristic Frolic. Good music, good refreshments,
and a good time are promised by the general committee, of which Wilfred
Reeves is chairman. Said Chairman Reeves, in speaking of the frolic, "We
will have the best orchestra in Northwest Washington. Those, who do not
dance as well as those who do are urged to attend. The Sophomore boys and
the faculty :are cordially invited." Freshman President Stanley
Thompson, in commenting upon the party, stated: "This is our first
opportunity to get together as .a class unit. We should take advantage of
this opportunity and develop a "Heiio" spirit which will carry us as a
unified body during our brief two years in this school." The frolic is
being arranged by five committees~work'ing the general committee. The
committees and chairmen's names follows: General, Wilfred Reeves;
decorations, Kath; erine Reese; games, Rose Brooks; refreshments,
Elizabeth Gable; advertising and invitations, Vernon Vine; cleanup,
Leonard Rodland. The frolic as J t s name implies, is to be futuristic.
The scheme of decoration, program,: and other details, are to follow the
same trend. No admittance is to be charged, except for those freshmen who
have not paid their. dues, reports Class- Treasurer Cox. The admittance
for these will be. twenty-five ; cents. • An audience which filled

Sutherlen Fred Schwan' What sort of turnout will there be; for the
Viking's final football game of the season? What sort of. game will the
team play- against the University of Washington Supervarsity tomorrow on
Waldo Field? - The big game is over, the championship has been lost,
homecoming is a matter of history. What difference will it make whether
Bellingham wins or loses, whether the crowd is out there to cheer? Last
Saturday we demonstrated our enthusiasm. We turned out, a large crowd; we
cheered, it was good cheering ;^we proved that we have pep. But this -week
it won't matter. I want to go home anyway, or go shopping. But it will
make a difference whether we turn out to see the game, whether the team
plays to win. It will prove the quality of bur loyalty, the loyalty we
heard so much about last week. If we show that same loyalty tomorrow, if
the team fights as though it had the same incentive as before even though
we should again lose, we will yet be the winners, winners in a bigger
sense than the difference in the score. The winning or losing of a
football game, or even a Tri-Normal Championship can mean little if it
does not bring out in a school that quality of undauntable loyalty, the
unquenchable spirit of "fight" which defeaf only intensifies. m BjrBARNEY
... There is some consolation in knowing that Bellingham Normal stands by
her convictions and lives up to the standards she sets, even at the cost
of a football game and a championship.. Two men, regulars on the Viking
team, were declared ineligible just before the Ellensburg game. Everyone
knew how hard a game it would be, how much we desired to win. Yet, knowing
that the loss of these two men might cost us the victory, these men were
still kept out, one of whom might have been eigible had the committee not
interpreted the rules so closely in their effort to abide by the "letter"
as Well as the "spirit." Had these two men been able to play they might
have changed defeat to victory, thir loss at least was keenly felt. But if
this school can come to have the reputation of insisting upon high
scholarship standards from its athletic representatives it will gain far
more than a whole bag of tri- Normal Championships. In the present case we
at least won the "morai" victory from Ellensburg. The new attendance
system has been in effect for nearly a week, yet things appear to go on
around school just about as usual. The innovation as yet has not
occasioned rioting or mass protest.meetings. In the Student Body, however,
a new attitude can be sensed.. Instead of the old attitude of "Let's cut
classes, we can turn in an excuse that will get by," it now is: "Gosh, I
don't dare cut. My grades are low enough now". At least the value of class
attendance has been raised. The hew scheme calls upon the student to place
relative values upon class attendance or the value of doing some other
thing at that time. Yet some of us are hoping for the time when the
responsibility will be placed entirely on the student as to whether he
thinks class attendance is more worth while than something else, by not
providing any penalty for missing class. ' .•,•:'•

life in America. - " What, a large arid; fruitful course is now open to
the .authorI David Butternut, hardy young Yankee sailor, -becomes
Shelley's life-long pal. David, it J seems, had just killed a
fellow-sailor in a bra^yl and in saving Shelley's life he felt somewhat
justified, so that Jasper, the murdered sailor, was thrown overboard,
dressed . in Shelley's clothes and bearing Shelley's books. Shelley
assumes the name of Shiloh, given by David, and together they set out in
search of the lovely Lady Silver, Jasper's little sister. Shiloh ever
carries her miniature with him, gazing often at the eyes described as
being "full of a soft darkness, like the patterned eyes upon the"wings of
moths". David and Shiloh go to Louisville, Kentucky, and later they set
out along the dangerous trail to California. Behind them they leave
fierce Indian tribes, bountiful food, supplies, and several young women
who, as usual, have fallen hopelessly in love with Shiloh As a pair of
tramps they score again and again in remarkable adventures among all
sorts of people, with gorgeous backgrounds of the early years of the
19th. century, in America. •Shiloh is a lone figure, facing life as
if he were a spirit of the wind instead of a -real .human being. In the
conclusion his wild spirit is expressed as he looks out over the blue
waters of the Pacific ocean. "Last night he had been tired,: but now he
was not tired or troubled in any way; he sat under the pale blue sky in
the 'center of a circle of golden rays, and these were paths leading to

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. BELUNGHAM. WASHINGTON mmmmm mm
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Strong Playing of Opponents Sends Fighting Local Squad
to Defeat After Early Powerful Showing. IS T H I R D STATE TITLE Locals
Take Lead in First Canto But Lose Winning Chances in Blocked Punt Rolling
over Goal With the coveted state tri-normal gril title within their
grasp, Coach Sam Carver's band of fighting Vikings faltered in the final
half of their * crucial homecoming battle with the Ellensburg Wildcats
Saturday on Waldo field, permitting the Wildcats to pile up twelve
winning points and return to their eastern Washington domicile with the
mythical crown safely in their possession. The Vikings fought like true
Norsemen, but were unable »to withstand the ferocious offensive
attack of "Sandy" Sandberg's proteges whose two touchdowns in.the ebbing
half of the fray more than offset the lone • six point marker
annexed by the Blue and White in the initial period. Ellensburg proved
herself a worthy title holder, by virtue of her spectacular comeback in
the last half, before a capacity crowd of loyal .Viking supporters.
After "Chuck" Erickson. flashy Viking back tossed - a well-directed
forward pass over the Wildcat defense into the arms of Stans Thompson,
halfback who loped the remaining distance to a touchdown, in the ":
opening canto, prospects for a hilltop victory were exceedingly.bright. '
- An unexpected tufn of events in the third period threw the Blue and
White eleven on the defensive. Snatching a long spiral-pass an Ellensburg
tackle wove his way • through the Viking's secondary defense to the
1-yard mark. Coach Sam Carver's stonewall line held for two downs but on
the third play the champs went over for a touchdown. Their try-for-point
was blocked. With a victory in sight the heralded Wildcat offense broke
loose and ripped its way through the hill-toppers, carrying the .oval
deep into the Viking's territory. The invaders, however, were unable to^
smash through the line or "dash around the ends for a touchdown and it
was not until the final canto, when the gridders from Eastern Washington
taking advantage of an unforeseen break, scored the deciding touchdown.
Captain -Harold Hawkings' punt from deep in his territory was blocked by
a charging Wildcat lineman and was pounced upon behind ;the goal line by
an Ellensburg play-that gave the champs the contest, er. The blocked punt
was the break In a futile attempt to even matters up, the Vikings took to
the air in the waning.moments of play, and long passes literally filled
the air. Here again the breaks were against them, for jus£ as their
aerial drive would get under way, an intercepted pass would throw a
monkey wrench into the Blue and White.' offense. • Not withstanding
their rather discouraging defeat, Bellingham played a commendable brand
of football. The forward wall played its usual stonewall game and the
backfield at times played brilliant football. Inability on the part of
the secondary defense to check the, Ellensburg for- •vrard passing
attack and on the part of the Viking safety man to return ' punts, was
largely responsible for the outcome.. ; Professor: "What does 'A' mean

TITLE Both Teams Face Hard Games and Previous Performances Predict
Struggle for Championship. Stanford University and the University of
Southern California, today, stand out as the leading contenders in tile
race for Pacific Coast title. The Cardinals returned to California with
the scalps "of the Washington Huskies tucked securely under their belt,
only after one of the toughest- games of the season. Stanford won 13-7. .
But Stanford faces two more games this season, which will be hard ones,
although the Cards are doped to take both. Saturday, in a non-conference
game, they meet Santa Clara and the next week they meet their ancient
rivals, the California Bears, in what is termed "The big game of the
Season" on the Coast. Stanford should win this game on the face of
present showing, because the Cardinal backfield and the tremendous
strength of their line are too much foiv the weaker bear eleven. Although
idle last week, the Trojans, of the University of Southern California
face some hard games' in the rest of their schedule. JMext Saturday they
play Colorado, then they tackle Notre Dame at Chicago, November 2G, and
as a fitting climax for the season they will meet the Washington Huskies
at Los Angeles. The Vandals, of Idaho, is another team to be reckoned
with, as thev are not yet out of the race. To date, the Vandals are
undefeated, but they have played two tie games: an early season scoreless
tie with the University of Oregon and a 3 to 3 tie last Saturday with St.
Mary's, although the latter' was a non-conference game Parents Discuss
P. T. A. Council Training School Dr. Ruth Boring. Thomas-Explains Health
Examinations Children Were Given. Pres. Fisher Talks One hundred" and ten
parents attended a meeting of the mothers of the pupils in the Training
school, which was held Wednesday afternoon. At this meeting, Dr. Ruth
Boring Thomas, who examined the children of the school earlier' in the
year, spoke on the significance of the health examinations given and
emphasized the more recent points of health examinations and a w ll
child. Individual health cards for each pupil filled out by Doctor
Thomas, were given to each parent, and cards were mailed to those mothers
who were not present. These cards indicated the presence of abnormal
conditions or defects in the following items, as regards height, weight,
and normal weight: nutrition, posture, teeth, tonsils, glands, thyroid,
eyes, nose, ears, skin, feet, heart, lungs. Dr. Thomas asserted that
there was no cause for the continuance of such diseases as diphtheria and
smallpox, and brought out many other points of interest in regards to
child health. President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal, explained the
presence and work of the training school in a teacher training
institution. He demonstrated the use' of the best known methods which
have been worked out by science in regards to the type of education with
which the training school is interested Mrs. Dolan,'president of the

that the council if organized, would add much to the force of the whole
organization. She also spoke on the child clinic of the society, school
thrift work, humane activities, and the instruction of foreign born
mothers. Miss Mary E. Eich, director of the Training school, was chairman

Eighth A Class of ; the Training School Studying Cartoons WSBI^UK^HKSSi.
Si? •gatsSJSsfs Cartoons have recently been the subject of much
discussion and experiment in the Eighth. A training school grade. The
students have been drawing cartoons on current subjects, after which they
criticize the efforts. To do this they are displayed through .a
projectoscope and explained by the youthful artists. ! The plan was
originated by the bulletin board committee of the students' service
club.' John Shields, chairman of the committee, stated: "The experiment
turned out successfully." Miss Bertha- Crawford, train-ing'teacher,
stated: "From a standpoint of development .of originality, and putting
ideas in graphic form, it has created-a hew interest in this, and also in
current questions." The children, in addition to their "discussion of
their own work, considered what characterized a true car-, toop, how it
differed from an ordinary, sketch,-and what its use is. The 'students'
cartoons have been posted on screens about the walls of the class room.

Experiment History 1A Cmirse Mx. Pelagius Williams is (trying out this
Quarter an experiment with his section in History la A group council has
been formed consisting of representatives from each of the four sections
taking the course; The general purpose, of the plan is to secure, through
the. class representatives, the attitudes and points of view of the class
groups in regard to tlie course and its conduct, to secure closer contact
between the instructor and the students and to develop a group
conscientiousness of purpose and work. Frequent council meetings are held
at which free and frank discussions over textbook, tests, assignments,
reports any student participating, and other matters pertaining to the
course are entered into. \ "This is a day of democracy," says Ttfr.
Williams, "The principle of representation in the student extra -
curricular activities is well established. Why should not the college :
course also be included? A8 a matter of fact the student has a very large
concern in the courses of study for which he is enrolled for his success
or-failure in them determines his future scholastic and professional
career. If he has some voice through his (representatives in '
determining the different elements tht constitute his course he will feel
better satisfied with the results, whatever they, may be, than if they
were autocratically imposed At any rate the experiment seems worth trying
out." —o Eighth Grade Pays Visit to Plant of Local Newspaper

meaning, theii part in the daily life of the people, and the details of
their publication, were the subject of a discussion in Miss CrawforcUs
Eighth Grade Training school class, Wednesday, November 9. The classroom
discussion followed a trip to the plant of the Bellingham Herald, which
was taken on Monday. The tour through the establishment was made possible
through the courtesy of Mr.. Frank Sefrit, managing editor of the paper.
The visit included all the departments of the business, though the
interest of the students centered mainly around the printing division.
The construction of the presses, their speed/weight, and mode of use was
of especial attraction to the •children.. Other items which drew
their attention were the linotype machines, tlieir operation and part in
making the paper; and the engraving department. The process of making a
mat from copy, and the placing of words on the mat was exceedingly
interesting to some of the pupils, while sjtill other children expressed
amazement at the amount of. materials used in the publication of a modern
daily paper. Questions were asked concerning the rapidity with which
extra editions can be published. Great sui-prise was .elicited" when the
students were informed gt;that an extra can be placed on the streets in
twenty minutes/ The expedience necessary to the publication of the
regular dailies also .impressed tlie students: Cartooning and ;the
organization of: the As-; spciated Press were Mother; things^ in which
the students displayed marked interest..^;V{;-7:'-:'-:••
