EXTRAS S WHO TO WHY YE DIARY By G. W.-L. | Honorable William Howard
Taft, chief justice of the United States, and former president, just
yesterday told delegates at a convention of his college fraternity that
in his opinion extra-curricular duties were "carried to a great extreme"
and that "we must get our public and private schools down to a simpler
curriculum." The elderly jurist, who makes speeches only rarely, joked
with his audience which included such eminent men as: Secretary of State
Simpson, five noted senators, and others of national prominence. He
struck a serious note on the "slump" in scholarship. However, he
explained that "the war played havoc with a great many conceptions, and
we havn't gotten over it yet." The chief justice observed that many
students went to school for "social reasons" and sometimes "to establish
themselves by reason of the fact that they are called college women."
And so while the grand old man of the American judiciary frets about the
over-ameunt of extracurricular activities burdening the under-grad,
scores of schools the country over are offering more than ever
opportunities for all in the extra- curricular activities Many ef us here
feel that we belong to too many clubs and organizations. Let's
see—how many is just the right number. A few say "belong to five of
six of them." More point out the benefits derived from being a
conscientious member of two, and not more than three clubs. The band of
opinion is * wide. But we can notice that the many-club member is more or
less of an 'honorary' member to the clubs that give him the least
satisfaction. Columns may be writt e n on the club problems.—but it
is well to notice that the member-at-heart gets the most enjoyment of
his club life at this "Normal-by-the- Mountains and the Sea." The latter
group, nuclei of true fellowship, are planning for the most part in
keeping their respective organizations together during the summer session
and to welcome back the old-timers into a renewal of friendships and good
times. -W. S. N. S.- The State of Washington spends in tax money about
$270.00 to educate each college man or woman within its boundaries. -W.

Agricultural college, or, to be more general, all over the world the

suspect that these abstract elements would ever ascend to living tissues,

Hall Informal Has Buddna As King in Oriental Garden Approximately sixty
couples paid smiling allegiance to a huge Buddha that overlooked an
Oriental garden in the Edens Hall drawing room, May 18, when the Edens
Hall girls staged their spring informal. Wisteria and Japanese lanterns
transformed the room into a place of Orinetal beauty. Gorgeous pah-eds,
portraying ;Japanese figures and scenes covered the walls. Punch was
served from a charming pagoda. Stark's orchestra furnished the music for
the dances which were the dances which were appropriately named in true
Oriental style, such as Pekin Drag, the Tokyo Tap and the Ginricksha
Trot. Dance Is Success Credit for the success of the dance should be
extended to Jane L'Eveque, social chairman; Jessie Grieve, chairman of
the decoration committee: Marion Snyder, Virginia Caulke, Elizabeth
Gable, and Margaret Lee, chairmen respectively of the program,
refreshment, music, and clean-up committees. Patrons and patronesses were
Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Kathleen Skalley, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis,
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Miss Grace Sullivan, and Mr. Arthur Kolstad.
INTERESTING DRAMA WILL BE PRODUCED Leading Roles Well Handled by the
Cast of the Drama Club in Their Play "Icebound". Next Friday night the
Drama club will present its quarterly play "Icebound", a heavy dramatic
plot originated by Owen Davis. "The play is rounding into shape very
rapidly. All the acts are running along smoothly. It could easily have
been produced this week but the additional week's practice will make it
even better," stated Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, director of the play. In spite
of the heavy dramatic situations that arise, the play is sprinkled
throughout with bits of humor which add an enlivening touch to the
strained atmosphere. The play ends happily for all concerned when Jane,
the servant girl, finally makes them all see the true light and the
Jordan family change their natures and the atmosphere that has pervaded
the family for generations is finally melted and they are no longer
"Icebound." Individuality in Leads Great individuality is shown on the
part of the leading characters in the portrayal of their diverse roles.
Sadie Fellows, played by Dorothy Sasse, is "worn to skin and bones" in
her desperate attempts to get some of the Jordan money supposedly to
support her small boy, Oran Fellows, whose part is taken by Lafe. Berg,
from the Training school. Catherine Morse takes the part of Ella Jordan,
the spinster sister who has been slaving all of her life"just like a
nigger," making hats. Kern and Chichester Lead Ben Jordan, Barney
Chichester, the black sheep of the Jordan family, returns to his home on
a New England farm to find his mother's house waiting news of her death.
(Continued on Page Four) WESTMINSTER GlEE SINGERS E N T H STUDENT
ASSEMBLY Famous English Singers Present Interesting Program «n
Tuesday, May 29. BOY SOPRANO Boy Sopranos Are Attractive Feature of the
Company Which Has Toured the World. '' I n what was purported to be one
of the best received and most appreciated assembly programs of the year,
The Westminster Glee Singers offered one of their programs in last
Tuesday's assembly. Seated or standing in various informal attitudes
about an improvised drawing-room, these celebrated English vocalists gave
an impression of free dom and ease which, is usually lacking in the
ordinary assembly program. A feeling of intimacy seemed to spring up
between the audience and the entertainers, produced, probably, by the
naturalness with which the selections were rendered. Boy Sopranos
Perhaps the most delightful- of the selections on the program were those
which featured the boy sopranos. These six boys, selected from the
principal London church choirs, sang with amazing tone and clarity; and,
when singing in conjunction with the adult voices, formed a pleasing
combination. The program included three solo1 numbers by members of the
adult group and a solo, with accompaniment of voices, by one of the boy
sopranos. A quartet also rendered several enjoyable numbers. Comedy was
furnished by Mr. Albert G. Greene, one of the basses in the chorus, in
several rollicking part-singing selections. Extensive Tour The
Westminster Glee Singers are drawn from the leading cathedral choirs of
Great Britain; the organization being formed twenty-five years ago by its
present leader, Edward Branscombe. They have toured every part of the
English-speaking world. EJMNWNEXT Women's League and Men's Club Will
Present Fashion Show in Assembly, Next Tuesday Morning. In next Tuesday's
assembly 'the Women's League and Men's Club are jointly sponsoring a
fashion show, featuring summer styles. The chairman, Alice Sundquist,
announces that there will be four acts with a prologue to each for which
Elizabeth Brodt has written an attractive scenario. There will probably
be an orchestra playing throughout the program. There will also be
dancing and singing-acts. Mr. Hoppe's Play Production class will present
a one-act play of their own choosing in next Friday's assembly. This
event is pleasantly anticipated by the memory of the last one act play
produced in assembly. o Several names have been added to the list of
those who will receive Life Diplomas at the conclusion of this spring
quarter. They are: Agnes E. Bestual, '26; Axelia Johnson, '24; Beryl
Kelley, '25; Madeline Koester, '24; Karine Olsen, '24; Laura E. Runyon,

Ray Craft John Greaves Lloyd Beckes ' Robert Cox THIS IS THE END T_hiite
end of this quarter is almost upon us—upon us with term themes,
tests, and other papers long past due. Some students will welcome the
conclusion of this quarter with a sigh of relief from a long, strenuous
and brain taxing term, while for others it will mean merely the duration
of a past, infinite vacation. To most of us it will mean a parting of the
ways, a loss of some friend that is survived by a tiny spark of
hope—a hope that someday the pathways of each of our lives will
cross during, the tide of time, that we may again renew a friendship whose
ties will be, at that future date, shrivelled and perhaps
severed—who knows? •Graduation, which terminates this quarter,
is a time of much glory and happiness to those participating in the
exercises; many of the graduates will perhaps, never return to this
institution, others will, and those students engaged as teachers will be
widely distributed over the Northern part of the United States—-all
this means a parting of the ways, but, anyway, we still have the hope that
someday we may meet again. It is a funny world—a world liberally
dotted with little spots of happiness, and sadness—a world
systematically mapped out for us, so it seems, giving us each, in the long
run, just about an equal number of sorrowful incidents as the more
pleasant ones, and we'll take it just as it is, because it is-—Life.
T H E E V E N T S O N T H E KNOLL The Campus* Knoll became the playground
where Grecian dancers portrayed their lovely, graceful and sylph-like
movements, and where slaves struggled in vain to obey their graceful but
stern, unyielding master, who lashed them again and again with her soft,
silken scarf; where a nymph glided lightly through intricate steps to the
ever haunting strains of the "Blue Danube Waltz"; Prometheus, after an
exhausting fight to free himself from defying bonds that held him, finally
broke his chains; and great Roman warriors lived again to hold battle
there on our knoll. It was a scene well worth watching, and the dancers as
well as their director, Miss Helen Dozier, win worthy, well-merited
applause. Of course the program, no matter how skillfully arranged, would
have never been the success it was without the excellent musical
accompaniment played by Vera Ginnette, pianist; Ethel Boynton, violinist;
and Pauline Larkin, flutist. Taken all in all, we are proud of the
participants, and director; they have earned recognition and have much
praise due them. W E R E G R E T MISS M A D D E N ' S D E P A R T U RE
Last week's Viking informs us that Miss Alma G. Madden will sever her
connection with the school at the end of the summer school. It is with
profound regret that we hear of this. Miss Madden has served the school
faithfully for five years, and during that time the debate department has
done excellent work and the extempore speaking department has been built
up. We have just finished a very successful debate season, and so we feel
it only fitting that there should be some expression from the students in
appreciation of her work. —E. B. F. YOU C A N T W I N E V E R Y T I
ME We can't always win, and the times we don't win we are at least
exceedingly proud we could enter the contest. So it is with the
participants in the League of Nations national contest. No one from this
institution won the trip to Europe, offered as first"prize, or any of the
other prizes given—What of it? This school was represented in the
contest at any rate. A prize, while a most coveted honor* and the person
winning any of the prizes has done a most scholastic deed, is not
everything. A great deal of credit is due to the two Normal students whose
papers were worth representatives of this institution in this year's
League of Nations national contest. Arthur Cram and Edna Boone Finley. S
C H O L A R S H I P S MEAN' SO MUCH A Normal daughter was awarded the
coveted E. C. Converse scholarship of the Leland Stanford University.
Jean Marquis, our friend, former classmate, and daughter of Dean and Mrs.
W. J. Marquis, received the scholarship for the superior type of work,
characteristic of Jean, she performed in her studies while at Stanford. We
are proud of you, Jean, and congratulate you on your accomplishment.
DeWitt Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, was elected
recently to the Phi Beta Kappa, a national honorary scholarship society.
He was one of only eighty-three students out of a senior class of 1238 of
the University of Washington, that was able to qualify—'• Oh,

'••- —G. W.L. What Can a Woman Do When a Bee Hive
Loses It's Lodgers? There seems to be a natural tendency for women to
climb high when the presence of a mouse is announced, but you ought to
see them hug the floor when bees escape from the hive and swarm about
the classroom. Now to explain the why and the wherefore of the escaped
bees. Early one morning, last week, about eight o'clock, an assistant in
the Science department hurriedly tucked a hive of busy, buzzing bees
under his arm, failing to notice that the bottom of the hive was not
correctly fitted to the upper portion, and started to put them out on the
window ledge. However, the bees, seeing.a chance to gain their liberty,
streamed out through the open corner and swarmed about the room, causing
considerable commotion among the students and instructors present in the
room. The only casualty reported were the loss of "poundage" in the
struggle to gain the other side of the assistant's nose. o Large Number

W^HINGTONSTAT^ age BOYS TAKE TRIP TO TRI-NORMAL MEET Carver
Takes Fourteen Athletes _ t « Cheney. He is Non-committal as to
Chances of Winning Meet. Thai Continues to be Leading Tennis Player on
Ladder Last Wednesday Coach Carver sent his pets through their final
paces in preparation for competition in. the annual Tri-Normal track and
field meet that is to be held at Cheney this year. The tennis squad also
made the journey along with them. Sid Thai, Ham Church and Ed Cox will
uphold the Blue and White laurels for the local racquet wielders.
Contrary to usual procedure Carver is making no predictions regarding the
outcome of the meet. However he prophesied that Bellingham had a good
break for third place. Last time the Vikings went to El-lensburg highly
touted for first place and got. bit by the heat bug and came home with
the short end of . the score. Cheney Normal is rated as potential winners
of the meet, due to their showing against W. S. C. Frosh. Strong on
Track The Viking warriors have plenty of strength on the track but are
exceptionally weak in the field events. but for one or two events. Carver
is only taking eleven men, instead of-twelve, due to lack of good
material. The following men left for Cheney ; yesterday: Erickson,
Hemmii, Brinkman, Axelson, Howell, Bright, Cox, Carboneau, Egan,
Gravrock, and Oberlatz, Thai, Ed Cox, Church, Osborne and Carver. 7.(
.New. Material-.Unearthed I n ^ a trial ;run to determine a second place
entry in the half mile run .^Tuesday,- -Carver discovered that it;never
rains but it pours. While, weak in reserve strength in many of the events
he found out by the stop watch that he had at least six. runners who
could make the half in less than 2:06. Howell rated as first man; was
started against Carboneau and Egan and O'FIying. Howell set the pace and
lead, up to the last 30 yards but was nosed out by a yard by Carboneau
and .Egan, who uncorked., a desperate sprint in the. last fifty yards.
Brinkman and Axelson and Bright are also rated to run under 2:06. This is
exceptionally good time when it will be remembered that Gallenger of
Bellingham won the Tri-Normal at 2:05.8 in 1927. Entries in Events Earl
Hemmi, peer of sprinters, who has competed in a number of track meets
will perform for the Blue and White for the last time in.' his fourth
tri-normal competi-' tion. Bob Cox is our second entry in the sprints.
Clarence Axelson, who has already won his sweater is the lone entry in
the quarter mile. Carver is feeling confident in the 880 yard run and is
entering three men: Paul Howell, Melvin Egan and Bob Carboneau. Norman
Bright, record holder for the mile run is expected to cop his event but
is not in good condition, due to a recent illness. Carboneau will run in
second position. Tinval Brinkman, winner of the cross city run in '27
will be a lone entry in the two mile grind. Cox is also entered in the
low hurdles. Charles Erickson the star high point man of the squad will
run the high hurdles, throw the javelin, put the shot, broadjump and
perhaps high jump and throw the discus. Oberlatz due to rapid improvement
in the last two weeks is taken along in the discus. Art Gravrock has
improved considerably in the javelin in the C. P. S. meet and is expected
to go good in his specialty. The four men who will run in the mile relay
will be chosen from the following: Axelson, Howell, Brink-man, Bright,
Cox, Hemmi, Egan and Carboneau. o Mr. Winther Accepts Position at
Stanford The results of this week's matches in the tennis ladder as as
follows: Parker beat Prendergast, 8-6, 6-4. Cox upset the dope bucket by
^eating both Prendergast and Parker, putting Cox into fourth position.

The Viking Tennis team left for Cheney Thursday morning to compete in the
Tri-Normal tennis competition against Ellensburg and Cheney Saturday
morning at 10. Those who will represent the Bellingham Normal are as
follows: Sid Thai, No. 1; Church No. 4; and Cox No; 5. Erickson, No. 2 on
the ladder will not be able to compete due to the many track- events he
is entered in, while Keplinger, No.! 3, is ineligible for Tri-Normal play.
. Sid ,Thal, Viking first man, will! have plenty of competition in the
single matches as, .both Ellensburg and Cheney, boast strong f hjst- men.
ThaUs game has been rather erratic at times but i f h e i s "on'.'.at
Cheney he will cause them plenty of trouble. Sid is also, the only man on
the squad who has, had tournament experience, and really plays best when
he-,is. up. against a good,man and has to fight for his points. , The
arrangement for doubles have not vbeen. made,, but it looks as though
Edgar Cox and Sid Thai will play in the doubles, while "Ham" Church will
play the other single matches. - ' • - . - , Road Trip Hard The
team left with a strong determination to do their "darndest," and if- the
400 mile auto jaunt does not cause too many ill effects the Viking tennis
team will give a good account of themselves. .—_o THE U. OF W.

WASHINGTON ST^^ COMMITTEE MAKES OF NATIONS CONTEST Bellingham
Does Not Win Prize in First National Competitive Examination for Normal
Schools. The decision of the Committee on Award for the First National
Competitive Examination on the League of Nations for Normal schools was
reached on May 9 and is as follows. ^ 1st Prize (trip to Europe) Edith
Garrison, State Teachers College, Trenton, New Jersey. 2nd Prize
($100.00)—Naomi A. Fausch, Winona State Teachers College, Winona,
Minnesota. 3rd^Prize ($50.00)—Sarah Polster, Columbus State Normal
School, Columbus, Ohio. , I n addition to the three prize winners the
following win honorable mention, which means that their papers were among
the highest in the 124 papers submitted: Florrie Mathis, Peabody College
for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee; Marie Alsager, Northern Illinois . S
t a t e Teachers College, DeKalb, Illinois; Phyllis M. Brearly, State
Normal School, Westfield, Massachusetts; Isobel E. Boutelle, Keene Normal
School, Keene, New Hampshire; Norah Boone Fields, East Tennessee State
Teachers College, Johnson City, Tennessee. While the Normal did not win
any prizes, still we feel that the additional knowledge of the Subject
gained, repaid the effort put forth. Miss Nora B. Cummins says in regard
to the results of the^ contest, "The fact that there is such a wide
geograhical distribution in the "awards is very hopeful and we see no
reason why a student from this •school might not win next year, if
the contest is continued, as it very likely will be." — -o HALL

instrumental selections. Miss Bowles who was accompanied on the piano by
Elizabeth Gable, rendered "Roses of Picardy" and "When Day is Done". Mr.

Hoppe, chairman of the Speech department, and Mr. H. E. Fowler, English
department chairman, were commencement speakers on last Tuesday night,
Mr. Hoppe spoke at LaConner and Mr. Fowler at Langly high school. Mr.
Hoppe's address, "The New Frontier", stressed the changes that are coming
into the life of today's youth. He pointed out the changing social and
economic conditions that make constant adjustment necessary. "Junior
Viking" Paper Is Novel Publication (Continued from Page One) entire
class makes a trip to the Bellingham Herald printing office, and there
see how the daily is set up, printed and distributed. The class also
studies the lives of prominent journalists, who have contributed" much to
the rise of the profession, such as Charles A Dana and Horace Greely.
Cost Is Nominal The cost of publication is unusually low, ranging between
from $40 to $50. There is no advertising in the paper due to the state
aid that is given. About 500 copies are printed. Two weeks ago all copy
was in for the spring issue. This allows Mr. Bissel time to set up the
type and have it printed a week or two before school is out. The paper is
six inches by nine inches and usually contains 28 or 32 pages. Often
times it is illustrated with a half page picture of some school festival.
The primary aim of the "Junior Viking" is to reflect the activities and
