efficiency, and even more seldom are the immediate results either
organized:, or gratifying. Not so, however, with the change from the
scene'of over a quarter of a century of labor to new quarters, states
Mss-Mabel* Zoe Wilson, as she pre-fpares to transfer the library from its
present crowded quarters into the spacious, building which culminates her
work for more than twenty-five years. - ' »• Staff Prepares
For several months members of the library staff have been preparing for
the move, Mrs. Irene Dahlman Lieseke, periodical librarian, has been
engaged in making an inventory of all periodicals, pamphlets, and
bulletins which have accumulated since the beginning of the library. Miss
Helen F. Treat, reference librarian, has also labored untiringly to
continue the _work of her predecessor in compiling ajl the library's
pictures, clippings, and bibliographies in one alphabetical file, which,
in itself, is a large part of the establishment. Periodaicals Arranged,
Listed For many years past* periodicals and pamphlets . accumulated, so
that at last the facilities provided by the present library were
insufficient for their, storage, and they have since been placed in
various parts of the building, among which is the attic. Beginning last
summer under the able direction of Mrs. Lieseke, these have all been
inventoried, and from the single copies, that is, those which are not
members of series, all valuable articles, pictures, or bibliographies
will be clipped and mounted to be placed in the Picture and Clipping
File, to guide teachers in-the making of similar collections for
themselves and their schools. These will be placed with the present file
of pictures which is now kept in the children's library gt; and, because
such a collection is of immense value to .the library, a special room on
the first floor of the new building has/.been set aside for it. :

Departments Make Plans Tile departments are making plans for their work
and some of these By drawing a picture of a world that lias made
appreciable steps in civilization, Dr. Will Durant, author df "The Story
of Philosophy" gave his viewpoint on "Is Progress a Delusion?" last
Friday in the Normal School Auditorium. /"Is Progress a Delusion?" Dr
.Diirantj in the lecture that lasted one hour and a half, built up a
strong argument in behalf of progress of' mankind and incidentally he
defended the youth of today, declaring that no generation was ever more
worthy of encouragement. In building up his argument. Dr. Durant employed
the use of the ten steps in the ascent of man known to civilizar tion. '
. ' • ' • ' ..''-" He said that these stops in' the progress
of man resulted in the lengthening of life, the emancipation of women,
and improvement in the conditions'of the poleteriat. Scanning the
nineteenth century, Dr. Durant recalled that it was an age of machinery
and development of industrial life. . In comparing the past with the
present, Dr. Durant said: "We looked for literature, and we found the
newspaper; we looked for painting, "and we found photographs; we looked
for art, and we found industry; we looked for quality, and we found
quantity. East Ages Discussed Dr. Durant visipned some of the greatest
civilizations of the .past, such as flourished in Greece, Egypt, and
Rome. He lamented the fact, in speaking of these localities, that man had
seen fit to wreck the monuments of skilland art which long ago rose so
proudly and grandly. Just before he took up the steps of civilization,
the visitor, in mentioning the moral code, expressed Ins faith and
interest in modern youth^ Heretofore, he stated, the moral code has been
founded on fear. Now the code is changing because of the decay of fear
resulting from' modern science and inventions. Education Dr. Durant held
that humanity has Traditional ^ B a t t l e Shows Snap Throughout.

The Phiiomathian Literary Society, the oldest club of i t s type in,this
school/ has been in existence and has been taking an active part in
school life since the beginning of the twentieth century. Its history, as
reviewed by the writer in back numbers of the various school editions, is
one of trials and hardships, one of intense excitement, and one of
tremendous accomplishments. ' iOn Washington's birthday, 1000, a group
of students Tn this institution took steps to organize a literary society.
To practice -parliamentary procedure, debating; and discussion .were-
the motives of the members of the society. Mr. Vaile professor. in. this
school at that time was elected faculty advisor. The' club, under the
direction of: the /various^ presidents who were elected every four weeks
and not. eligible for re-election, SERVICE CLUB flourished and
on.February 15, 1901, they rendered a well prepared program in the
"assembly hall." It was a debate on "The Evils of Compulsory Education."
The club membership at this time, was limited to forty men. /
The'.-Philomathean Literary Society was re-organized in 1909, when women
were permitted the right to attain membership. In half a year •it
grew to be one of the strongest clubs in the school. The Philos gave
programs in assembly consisting of music debates, dramatic work, and
papers and talks on current events. The Society's .faithful friends and
advisors' "were,, since the re-organization, Miss Jensen, now residing in
Weehawken, N. J., and Mr. Philippi,. who is" at present the advisor./ The
members of the club, at thisv. time relative to advisors, received" one
credit per year if they .were present and agreed •'•number-'
of'.times, a .year when the club met oh Friday even- As the crack of the
gun ended the fray and the smoke, of battle cleared, the final- score
showed the Cheney Savages with a four point lead over the Bellingham
Vikings in their big Tri-Normal tussle, Avhich was played in the Whatcom
gym Tuesday evening., the-final count being 33 to 29. The «ame was
featured by fine shooting by Earl Keplinger, Viking's speedy forward, and
Benner, elongated pivot man for Cheney. Both teams played a fine brand of
basketball although the invaders were a little stronger in the scoring
department and held a slight edge in team work and handling the ball. The
Vikings displayed a good floor game and showed the old fighting spirit,
but went down to a team a little more evenly matched and better groomed
than themselves. ^ Game Fast The battle between the traditional foes was
thrilling and hard fought throughout and developed into a speedy contest
which was anyone's game to the last whistle. Cheney started the fire
works by slipping thru the Viking defense to swish one in from under the
basket. The Vikings tallied once from the foul line while Cheney counted
again from under the basket. The, score see-sawed back and forth being
tied at six all, when with a spurt the Vikings increased their lead to 15
points while Savages were held to 9. Carver's men held a 15 to 13 lead
over the invaders at half time. Second Half During 'the first half the
Vikings were superior, and a t one junction of the game their defense
held perfectly, but the Savages'finding their eye, dropped five field
goals through in about three -.minutes' of play, rushing their opponents
off their feet with their brilliant drive. Cutting down a .2/ to 19 lead
in the last few minutes of play to three points, the Viking hopes soared
again but soon faded when the Savages came back to increase their: lead
to four points. The gun ended the fray as the score stood gt;33 to 29 in
favor of the Easterners. Coach Carver shook up his linemen on several
occasions in. an effort to find a winning combination but the Blue and
White cagers were unable to keep pace with the accurate shooting and
smooth passing visitors. Keplinger seemed to be the only man that was
able to score from the field, Coming here from Boston, Miss Ethel
Winifred Allen,; dramatic arr tist, will entertain in assembly

/ / When the new library is occupied there will be a niimbef of rooms
\Vleft/yacant-to.'.:b^.furned.'"intp/other'uses. There will be,the entire
space _of the library; librarian's office and children's library room. A
plat of :;tlie space available has been circulated-to the faculty asking
them to tell what; they need in the way of additional space. No doubt the
faculty have visions^of a Utopia in which each of. them will have a
separate office and privacy which is now denied them. k- But :there are
other people in the school who are interested in the space to be
apportioned. They are the students. To anyone who has v worked in
student-affairs the inadequacy of the present quarters is easily
appreciated. In one small room, a mere hole in the wall, are crowded the
offices of the Students' Association, Klipsun, and Business Manager of the
Messenger." In the Weekly Messenger room, two classes meet daily in
addition to the Journalism classes which situation interferes seriously
with the work on the Messenger. By allowing the students another
larger'office thecrowded condition could be remedied, provided that
teachers were given to understand that the rooms could not be used for
• classes. / ; : In addition the students would greatly appreciate
rooms utilized for their comfort. We have heard of faculty rooms in this
school but who ever heard of student rest rooms. The'men of the school now
have, the privilege of lounging in the men's locker room and the P . E.
office. For their comfort is provided one window sill and two wooden
benches. What a boon it would be if the men and women of the school could
have rooms with a carpet, a picture and a soft chair or two that could be
resorted to when the "oppressor's score", or whatever it happens to be,
proves too harsh. It would seem to us, just offhand, that the place for a
Yell King at a basketball game is not in the ticket booth selling tickets
but out leading the crowd in cheering. It m a y b e we are inaugurating a
new custom here with the purpose of utilizing our man-power at athletic
contests. However efficiently the ticket selling'end of the proposition
may have been handled, we could see no marked improvement in the quality
of the cheering at the Ellensbufg game, last week. BtiggyBud .

T 1 Leopold Hotel BARBERS v What shall we do with the Students'
Organization Council? After a great deal of discussion about
this"organization and its many foibles, the conclusion has about been
reached that we can't do much of anything. The group which should do
something is the faculty committee on student Organizations, the original
instigators of the ' Inter-club Council nee' Students'. Organization
Council. The council can change its constitution and^ regulations until
iffs black in the face but if such moves do not meet the approval of the
just mentioned faculty group all their trouble is for naught. The large
cry which has been raised to have a reform in the Council has
over-emphasized the difficulty. There is need .for some change so that
business matters such as the arranging of the.social calendar could be
expedited, but aside from that the council has little to do except of an
advisory nature. The greatest need for the Council to fill is that of
acting as a forum for the-discussion of club problems. As a body
representing the wishes of the schobl clubs it could be very effective in
representing to the faculty the wishes of the students thmslyes. For it is
the faculty committee which make the regulations for club meetings such as
closing hours, places, of meeting, etc. At least it is to them that all '
actions o f the council must be taken for approval. Why, then, have we
been attacking the Students' Organization Council

on the Y. .•: M. C. A. court last Friday evening the Bellingham
Normal Junior Varsity now reigns as the undisputed leaders/ of the Class
B league., with" five straight wins and no defeats. With but "one more
league contest to play the Jayvees' victory over the hitherto undefeated
Lightmen crew ^ives the Normalites strong assurance; of the secoud half
league championship, an honor they have held for the last two years.
• Game Fast The game was fast' and furious from the first whistle
and'had all the earmarks of a championship battle. Both teams played a
good brand of ball but the better oiled Jayvee machine was not to be
denied and soon jumped into a comfortable lead which, they held
throughout the game. The versatility of the .Jay vee- attack' was
"largely responsible, for the onesided victory. The gun ended the fray
as,.the score stood 51 to 31 with the Hilltoppers holding a comfortable
twenty point lead. Scoring Ltes 'Sloppy"' Cox, flash forward for the
Jayvees was high point man of the fray with 16 markers, with Thorlakson a
close second with 12. Jacobs and Pratt «were the main threats for
the losers with 10 and 8 points respectively! In the other Class B game
of the evening the Legionnaires registered a .35 to 29 win over the
schoolteachers. Criticisms usually-.-'.follow in the wake of several
losses and this holds true regarding the Normal' Varsity. After reigning
supreme for a couple of years spectators cdnceiye the idea that a '-team
should never lose and unjustly criticise the 'team or players' ability.
The people forget that any athlete hates to lose. Out practicing every
night and giving their best in all games these men are always striving
to/win, so try and-boost and never knock. ' Sidelights on Viking Cage

With the able assistance of whistle-toter McClurken and under the skillful
managing of Tommy Marsclen, the Low Stars downed the fighting Kitchen
Krew 33 to 19| In the second game of a double bill, the Co-ops kept pace
by defeating the downtrodden Scotchmen in a close game. The Kitchen Krew,
weakened by the absence of Stickney and burr, played the Low Stars off
their feet and led at half time 12 to 9. Until relinquishing the lead the
determined Pearl Divers out-passed and * outfought the classy Marsden
quintet. With five minutes to play and the score 19 to 17 against them
the Low "Stars went on a basket rampage, netting themselves fifteen
points while holding the demoralized Kitchen Krew scoreless. In this
rally Miller and Gray could not be checked, eacli caging several baskets
and playing a good floor game." Johnson played a'fine game for the
losers, checking closely and contributing several points to his team's
score. Holding the highly touted Co-op five even in the first half, the
hardy Scotchmen apeared to have a fair chance of breaking into the win
column. Inability on the part of tiie Scotchmen .guards, to cope with the

••"••• gt; .'•'•.': -January 11,
1928. Dear President Fisher: In about the middle of November as the
sixth grade was having a class one of the boys looked out of the window
and saw a big grey squirrel. I t is the type of squirrel that is found in
California and Oregon, and we do not know how it came to be on Sehome
Hill. Since we first saw it, we have.been putting crumbs out under the
trees so that it comes every day. We are very much interested in the
squirrel and would like to have it stay on Sehome Hill, but lately" we
have heard that the workmen are going to catch it in a trap, and\want it
protected. Would you help us protect the squirrel? Respectfully yours,
i;,;-,'.' The Sixth Grade. -':;:' In reply to this plea for the protection
of the squirrel, President Fisher wrote: Boys and Girls of the Sixth
Grade, Training School. Dear Boys and Girls: I I have your letter
calling niy attention to the big grey squirrel which lives on Sehome
Hill. Your letter expressed '*fear that the workmen about the school may
catch the squirrel in a trap. I have notified the workmen not
to-interfere with the squirrel but to allow him to wander about on Sehome
Hill as he pleases. '•• In case you should hear of anyone
interfering with the squirrel, I wish you would report it to me at once.
.. I am pleased to know that the pupils of the sixth grade are taking so
much interest in having" some wild life on Sehome Hill. : . . ' . . Very
truly ,-yours, ".'•'.'" C. H. Fisher, Pres. This letter has been
posted on the bulletin board of the sixth grade, where it is not only a
source of pride to the children, but also an assurance of safety for the
pet.squirrel of the class. • ^ g ^ e n ^ r^ported^by Miss

while McClurken played a fine floor and passing game and .accounted for
eight points, six of which were via the free-throw route. ' T h e
combination consisting of Kepliriger and McClurken, forwards; Thorsen,
center, and Isaacson and Clark, guards, seemed to function best as a
unit, both on offensive and defensive play. As a result of their
heartrending, defeat, the local team's mathematical chance to retain its
state tri-normal title was destroyed. Scoring Honors . High scoring
honors go to Banner, the Savage's lank center who accounted for 19 of
their 33 markers, while Keplinger held second place with 18 points.
McClurken was third high with 8 points. Hames and Moore worked nicely for
the visitors in,handling the ball and teamwork. In a preliminary to the
main event the Jayvees trounced the Ferndale town team 32 to 22, in a
