DIARY —  RAY CRAFT  With this issue of the Viking,  Dolly Anderson
terminates four  quarters spent at the editor of the  Northwest Viking.
Hers has been  a period of achievement, and the  new staff will inherit a
smooth running  newspaper organization, a  group of ambitious cubs trained
under  her leadership, and the traditional  Viking position as one of the 
finest Normal School publications  in the United States.  Dolly Anderson is
the third girl  to have served in the editor's chair  here. Since the first
publication in  1809, the editorial office has been  dominated by men. The
reason, no  doubt, is that many more men than  women seek journalism as a
profession.  This is for those who haven't experienced  the thrill of
working on a  paper: If you want a lot of fun and  a lot of experience,
sign up for English  3a under Fowler next quarter.  You'll like the
incomparable "Art"  and "Walt" at the printery, and  youll learn how, when
you get out  in the teaching field, to co-operate  with the press and sell
your community  on your pet projects.  .———W. S. N. S. 
BELLINGHAM CHAMBER  DROPS FESTIVAL PLANS  AT TUESDAY SESSION  flf!f|Ps 
lllll§§  Commenting: last week on "Why  Teachers Fail", Glenn
Frank, president  of Wisconsin University, recites  the causes of failure
uncovered by  Skerman Lettler in . a n exhaustive  study several years ago.
Mr. Frank  declares that these seventeen findings  are still t h e main
sources of inefficiency  in our schoolrooms.  The seventeen causes of
teacher  failure are these:  Lack of control over the technique  off
teaching.  Lack of ability to maintain order  and discipline.  Lack of
mastery of subject matter.  Lack of intelligence.  Lack of effort,
initiative, and  adaptability.  Lack of common sense.  Lack of physical
energy.  Lack of standards of achievement.  Lack of ability to carry on and
 of singleness of purpose.  Lack of sympathetic understanding-  of pupils. 
; Lack of social background.  Lack of knowledge of what pupils  can dp. 
Lack of personality..  Lack ef moral standards.  Mr. Frank declares that
"If every  teacher in the nation would check  himself or herself against
these seventeen  causes of failure, in complete  honesty of analysis, we
might remake  our schools within a few  years.  "Great teachers are great
men  and great women. We need never  expect to have an over-supply of 
great teachers, therefore, for the  race does not throw up a great  many
great men in any generation.  But we must keep up the quest of  teachers
who bring to their task an  informed technique,., accurate., and  wide
knowledge, intelligence, energy,  initiative, adaptability, common  sense,
high standards of personal  morals and professional achievement, 
singleness of purpose, sympathy,  a rich social background, and  an
inspiring personality.  W. S. N. S.  And now that we are arriving at  the
bottom? of our column; our term  as Normalite is about over. To use  the
crude vernacular of the fight  , game, we've had some good matches  since
we got into this racket. We  got the decision with the Nurse's  office, and
they are getting ready to  build a men's consultation office.  We went to a
draw with Men's club  reforms, and when we got in there  to alter the class
cutting system, our  foot must have slipped or something,  because when we
came too the lights  were out and the customers had all  gone home. So we
guess we're a has-been  as Normalite, and we climb out  between the ropes
to let in a,faster,  harder hitting youngster who has. a  world of stuff up
his cuff, and who.  ^ bound to get a.big;hand from the  ffanis when he goes
into action.  :0^:^\:'-r^^ •
"•••••.';.4.:'.  Trustees of the Chamber of
Commerce  voted Tuesday to abandon  the Tulip festival this year. This 
action was taken on account of the  agitation brought forth by many of  the
business men of the town, in  regards to the carnival.  The trustees' vote
was overwhelming.  They made the suggestion that  the Tulip festival be
held every other  year, alternating with a Mount  Baker marathon also every
, other  year. Another factor coming into  its abandonment, is the lack
of-sup-port  being given to it by trie townspeople.  To many of the Normal
students  the abandonment was quite a disappointment.  The school was to 
have figured quite prominently in  the Festival.  The Queen and two
princesses  were to have been chosen' from the  Normal. The Queen was to
have  been a Bellingham girl. The Pageant  on Battersby field was also in 
charge of the "Normal by the Sea".  President Fisher was co-operating  with
some of the committees in  charge, also.  600STUDENTS HAVE  REGISTRATION

Reorganized for the  First Time in Many Years; Dick  Louis Made President
of Class.  The Junior-Senior College gave a  luncheon for its members and
several  of the faculty on Thursday,  March 13, in Edens Hall clubroom. 
This group, composed of all upper  division students in the school has 
just reorganized this quarter after  being inactive for several years. At 
present they have a membership of  about sixty students. This membership 
is expected to increase rapidly  in the future since the new requirements 
for longer attendance  have been enforced. The officers  elected this
quarter are Dick Louis,  president; Grace Olson, vice-president;  Prances
Young, secretary, and  Eva Catlin, I. C. C. representative.  Dr. Irving
Miller is the faculty  adviser.  The luncheon last Thursday was  for the
purpose of making the members  of the organization better acquainted,  and
to serve as an introduction  for future events which will  be planned for
next quarter. The following  program was presented:  Vocal solos, Frances
Young, accompanied  by Margaret Morrison.  Piano solos Doris Thompson 
Short speeches were made by Dr.  Miller and Dick Louis. Mr. Lewis  welcomed
the members and urged  good co-operation in all further affairs  of the
organization. Dr. Miller  spoke of the fine possibilities  for leadership
in school life which  this group possesses.  Faculty guests at the luncheon
included  Miss Emma Erickson, Miss j  Delie Keeler, Dr. Irving Miller and; 
Dr. C. C. Upshall. I  Six hundred students took advantage  of the
pre-registration period,  which occurred the latter part of  this quarter.
Of these, five hundred  have completely registered, while  the remainder
have yet to pay their  fees. This situation will make registration  for the
opening day of next  quarter, Monday, March 31, a simple  process.  At this
time all classes, with the  exception of those noted below, will  I meet
regularly, and the class cards  'of those completely registered will  be in
the hands of the instructors  from which roll will be taken. Absences  will
be counted from the first  day, so students should attend all  their
classes possible.  The following classes will not meet  Monday, March 31:

Editor of 1930 Book  Work on the Klipsun is progressing  rapidly and"-final
plan's for organization  are almost ^entirely finished,  according to
Bernice Gnagey,  editor of this year's annual. Several  innovations are
promised and the  book will differ in many respects  from the 1929 Klipsun.
 There will be no regular section  of campus photographs as has heretofore 
been the custom but, instead,  the division pages will be the background 
for various campus sketches.  These sketches will be worked out  in a new
water color process which  is said to give a clear, smooth, and  delicate
appearance to the colors.  Three shades will be used—blue,  yellow,
and burnt siena. An evening  scene of the entire campus with  Sehpme Hill
rising above will be  pictured on the end sheets in both  the front and
back. This will relieve  the uninteresting appearance of the  opening
pages.  The cover design has not yet, been  chosen but the David Maloy
Company,  of, Chicago, and a Seattle firm  are now working on it. The
dominant  tone in the cover will probably  •be blue and the word
"Klipsun," as  well as the numerals "1930," will be  placed on the front
instead of on  the backbone as was done last year.  The border on each page
will consist  of a small sketch of the main  building in a blue shade, with
a column  of

T H E V I K I N G T U R N S MASCULINE  Today is my last time to serve you
readers, and I hope I have  served you to your satisfaction. It is with a
little sadness that I relinquish  the position I have treasured for the
past four quarters, but  it is a sadness mingled with gladness for with my
going comes a new  editor, full of new ideas, brimming over with eager
intentions—one  '' who will doubtless make you anticipate each issue
of the Viking.  A -iBefore I go, I want to thank Ray, Bobby, Pearl, Barney,
Bert,  Arnold, Jack, Irene, and those four staffs of reporters with whom I 
f J have worked, for their faithfulness, eagerness, and their true Viking 
spirit.  To the Viking ship's main sails, Art and Walt, the "corpulent" 
and lean printers, respectively, and Mr. Fowler, may I express my  sincere
gratitude.  I am glad to have had the opportunity of being associated with 
three business managers, Barney Chichester, Ben Hamilton, and  Gordon Leen,
and to them I express my appreciation for the cooperation  and kindness
they have shown.  May I thank the present staff, sincerely, and from the
bottom of  my heart, for the gift which you presented me last Friday. I
felt  that I could not thank you enough at our little gathering that night 
for-—well, I'm feminine and necessarily emotional.  To the Northwest
Viking readers, I say farewell and introduce  you to your new managing
editor, Ray Craft.  "Step right up, Mr. Craft, take my "doiby"—have a
big, black  'seegar'—put your feet up on my desk—look
hard-boiled—and go  to i t ! "  —The EDITOR  E D U C A T I O N
' S F U T U RE  Dr. Max Mason, president of the Rockefeller Foundation,
former  president of the University of Chicago and former professor of
physics  at the University of Wisconsin, has sketched a new picture for
future  education.  The keynote of his predictions was, more physicians and
fewer professors  in the educational institutions of the future. He states
that the  professors of the future will let the students do their own
learning and  have physicians present to see that the students don't study
too hard.  In his speech at the University of Washington recently, he said,
"Students  of the future will attend college to obtain certain definite
kinds of  knowledge to fit them for specific functions in life".  "There
will be no examinations or quizzes to ascertain whether the  student has
remembered everything the professor told him to remember  -—(A good
many of us would have wished for future times this week).  "The professor
is not a drill master. He should not, like an army  sergeant, tell his
pupils where to walk and how fast. He ;shpuld inspire  their curiosity and
hey will learn for hemselves". ^1  S P R I N G H A S S P R U NG  In the
spring, the young Normal boy's and girls' fancies turn to  thoughts
of—j—spring vacation.  Vacation—after a three-months
steady grind interspersed by play-times  in form of dances, parties, and
entertainments—-is so near. Just a few  more hours and for some of us
it is, "Home, James"—but for the majority  of us it's, "Gotta hurry
or I'll miss the southbound freight"! No  matter, at any rate we're off to
a hard play-time—and not a text book  will.wfe open—Begorra!  \

Discussion  plani'ior the Viking Vodvil and  The. First grade are playing a
 game, the Second grade learning  a poem, • and the Third  grade
picking out the correct  words to fill into blanks.  —o—  WE
ARE PLAYING THE GAME  WITH THE FIRST GRADE.  We love these funny little
people,  with their patched trousers, darned  stockings and dirty
fingernails—and  we wonder why we try constantly  to change them. 
—o—  Then we turned around aiid  found some one copying  some
one else's work.  They come from queer little  homes where queer standards,
if  any, are the foundation of existence.  We have met then- poor,
narrow-minded  parents, and yet we love  these children—love these
eyes that  are great pools of the soiil, where  the rain drops and the sun
shines  with the changing weather of life.  AND WHY SHOULD WE CALL  THESE
PEOPLE QUEER, JUST  BECAUSE THEY ARE PECULIAR  TO US?  We saw black boughs
of the willow  tree against the moon. We saw them  in morning — in
the evening —in  summer and in fall.  —o—  They are
Fate—the skeleton of  what Life really is—what Life  is built
on.  When We get just a little weary  along this rocky highway, we get 
glimpses of willows against the  moon.  —o—  We saw black
branches only today.  WE RECEIVED AN INVITATION  TO THE VIKING PARTY, AND
NO  ONE WILL EVER KNOW EXACTLY  HOW WE FELT.  —o—  .And then we
said to ourselves:  Perhaps we loved  those associations because  they made
us feel important.  —o—  We had never learned to hate,  there
in your World of good fellows  —and we regret to say that this 
narrow little world taught us the unruly  weeds of hate.  AND IT HURTS SO
TO  HATE!  —o—  It hurts our pride to hate—and it  hurts
something away down in our  chests that idealists call a heart. 
—o—  Then we fell to wondering if these  people who hate so
much haven't a  hardened callous around their  hearts.  —o— 
Or, perhaps they have overlooked  those dull, achings of the heart for  so
many ages that finally the pain  and outcrop have been silenced. 
—o—  But we hope hate will never do  that much to us. We won't
let it!  We'll build a wall around our hearts  —a wall of sunshine.
We'll turn  Pollyanna or St. Valentine.  Ethics is the biggest problem in 
leaching, as we see it.  if * *  Most children have something  with which
to learn reading,  writing and arithmetic— that is,  namely,
intelligence!   gt; gt; * :J  But we have found that there are  some
children who have no standards  or ideals on which to base  ethical or
moral training. It's then  that we wonder what to do.  * • * * 
Nothing in our Normal training  prepared us for this problem.  MABEL

(W. L.)  After two successful performances,  the Drama club play "The
White-headed  Boy" joins the vast and ~^V-^^^ kinJa ser'l0US about  much
talked of past. Comments , , n auafi„ Makes a  have been flying "here
and there  concerning the event and for a few  days the good and bad
qualities, personal  likes and dislikes, the relative  merits of the play,
and the work of  the actors were topics under discussion.  In regard to t h
e histrionic  ability of the players and the efficiency  of the director
there has  been nothing but praise, yet from  various individuals have come
dissatisfied  remarks referring to the  way in which the play ended. This 
opens the way to discussion.  In the first place the play was  a comedy and
a comedy does not  follow convention. To have the  "Whiteheaded Boy"
thwarted and  thrown out on his own, to have  each girl's ambition
realized, to  have Peter placed successfully in  business, and to have the
fond  mother wake up, would probably  have been the right and conventional 
ending so far as the audience was  concerned, but there is where the 
spirit of comedy enters.

gt;Mf-y»V!?/'W«iV!i;''\S  Helene Madison, pretty acquatic  star
of the new Washington Athletic  club in Seattle,, returns home Saturday 
from an extended tour of the  South where she captured seven  world titles
and broke five world  records in a period of two weeks.  The Seattle
business men are  planning to give her an ovation  which will rival Colonel
Lindberg's  return from his epochal flight.  Too much praise cannot be
given  Miss Madison as her feats outshad-bw  those of Wilson, Carrol, Brix,
the  championship Washington crews,  and any others that have made his? 
tory for the Northwest sport world.  * * * *  We are wondering why the
state  doesnt send North Central, the winner  of the state basketball
championship  of Washington, to Chicago  to compete for the national title.
 Prom all indications they would  have more than a good chance for  the
title. If they deserve it, why  hot give it to them? we say.  The training
school enjoyed an  excellent season in basketball this  year, losing only
to Lowell in the  finals. Chuck Fisher and Wick  Carver were placed on the
all-city  grade school team.  It has been rumored that Ellens-burg  will be
without a representative  in the Spring sports this year,  due to the lack
of funds in the athletic  treasury.  We are mighty sorry to hear that 
'cause we felt sure we would even  things up by winning the baseball, 
track and tennis championships.  A nephew of Miss Anna Ullin is  a member
of the Centralia High  school basketball team that has been  playing in the
State tournament in  Seattle.  QUARTERLY BANQUET  HELD IN CLUB ROOM 
Speeches, Introduction of Spring  Sports and Announcement at  Marionettes
Feature Program.  The quarterly sports banquet was  held last Friday
evening in the club  room of Eden's hall with Gay Smith  as toastmistress.
After dinner was  served a welcome address was given  by Ruth Sammons,
president of W  A. A.; followed by a short talk by  President C. H. Fisher.
Winter sport  talks were given by their different  managers and all-star
teams were  announced by Miss Margery Horton,  who gave out the
certificates of star  identification.  Spring sports, speed ball, baseball,
 tennis, archery, hiking and swim  ming were introduced by Katherin  Zeran
and announcements of the  Marionette show and the informal  were made by
Marion Marchand.  About fifty people were present at  the banquet including
Miss Orpha  McPherson, Miss Lillian George,  Miss Ruth Weythman, Miss
Margery  Horton, President and Mrs. C.  H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. 
Ruckmick, and Mr. E. A. Bond.  o  NORTH CENTRAL WINS  STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 
North Central High, of Spokane,  won the Eighth annual State High  school
basketball touranment, by  defeating Walla Walla, 29 to 25, in  the final
game of the tourney. Sixteen  teams competed at Seattle,  March 13, 14, 15.
The other teams  finished as follows: Everett, Ho-quiam,  Endicott, Foster,
Stadium,  and Fair haven. The tourney brought  out several good brands of
playing',  and keen interest was shown by the  spectators.  It is thought
that North Central  may be sent back to the National  tournament, at
Chicago.  .. o—:—:  Mrs. Margaret Still, a graduate of  this

MEN ARE  WORKING HARD FOR  DESIRED POSITIONS  A Decided Lack of. Pitchers
Is  Coach Gunn's Biggest Problem  for a Real Baseball Team.  NO CINCHES FOR
BERTHS  "If the Vikings had to place a  ball club on t he field today, most
of  the positions would be settled by the  toss-up method". So states "Pop"
 Gunn, who has been putting about  25 aspirants through their paces  during
the past few weeks. Occie  Thorsen has the inside track on  first base,
Dixon and Bailey look  good as outfielders, and Hugh Mc-  Clary is showing
up well as a backstop.  As for the rest of the team,  no one knows who will
fill the gaps.  I n the infield Johnston has. an  edge on shortstop, while
Eacrett and  Iverson are even up at third. Ped-erson,  Lindall, and Miller
are all  out for infield berths and are show*  ing good possibilities.
Emery and  Thompson are out for anything they  can get and are liable to
bust into  the lineup any place. Other infield-ers  are Brownlow, Dowell,
and  Vaughn.  Outfielders are less numerous.  Besides the lettermen,
McCleary,  McMeen, and Dave Cole are working  for positions.  To make
things interesting for  Thorsen, Hslde, Tew, and Hunnicut  are all working
for the first sack.  Lack of first class pitchers is noticeable  on the
club. Blankenship  and Konopshi are heading the list,  with Iverson,
Johnston, and Eacrett  also taking a turn in the box.  One thing is
certain.' No one is  going to loaf on the job. A hard  DROPS LAST GAME 
Lowell Takes City Championship  from Training School in Fast  Breaking Game
Five to Three.  That class of basketball fans that  doesn't enjoy a game
unless there is  scoring and plenty of it, didn't miss  anything over at
Whatcom last Friday  afternoon—but those that love  to see a close
checking game in  which everyone of t he few points are  earned, lost a
treat by not being  there to watch the Normal  Training school hoopsters
tackle the  Lowell grade school casaba-tossers  for the city championship.
The final  score would represent an ideal  one for a, baseball game, 5 to 3
in  favor of Lowell.  Both teams fought hard, and the  checking, as t he
score indicates, was  very close.  Each team scored one field goal,  the
remainder of the points being  made via the foul shooting method.  The
winners had more chances at  making free throws, and "there  proved- that
the victory hinged on  the fouls made by t he Normalites.  o  Pressing a
button releases either  salt or pepper from a shaker combination  that an
Indiana man has  invented.  grind is ahead of the team and only  those who
want to work will be considered  for a position. Anyway,  says Gunn, "There
is a lot of work  to be done before a club can be put  on the field. But
the will to succeed  in there, stronger than ever  this year, and.that is
what counts.  They won't kick our club around  this year. Not if we know
our baseball.  S T A R T I N G S A T U R D AY  for only 4 days  Douglas

 INTRAMURAL GAMES  Aspiring Managers Now Spotting  Likely Candidates for
Their  Teams From Varsity Men.  MUCH INTEREST SHOWN  "—Four,

grooms his charges out  on the Southwest corner of Waldo  field. Batting
practice, fly chasing,  throwing and a little infield practice.  Upon being
asked to make a  statement he said: "We won't take  all the lickings. I
have never failed  yet to put out a good team".  While Coach Gunn is
looking out  for coming material the different  clubs and aspiring managers
stand  on the sidelines, spotting the likely  candidates for their
intramural  teams.  At the beginning of next quarter  lists will be posted
on the bulletin  board in the Men's Athletic office,  for all clubs and
teams who wish to  sign up for intramural games.  It is expected that there
will be  about four teams enter the race.  The games will be either five or
 seven-innings, no pitcher will be  used for more than four innings  and

I Ps ^ ^ H I N G T O N ^  feililtliMiw  ItSl  iTiwiy Sarg's
Marionettes Give Two  s i Performances Here. 500 Strings  ^Used in Working
Puppets.  ^ The Women's Athletic association  -presented Tony Sarg's
Marionettes  in Rip Van Winkle, in the auditorium  Wednesday evening. A
roati-i  riee for grade children at 2:00 p. m.,  proved interesting and
successful to  a crowded house.  There was a fairly large group of  people
at t h e evening performance  and the players with their clever  faces and
sharp jointed walk creat  ' e d many laughs. The intricacy of  the 500
strings used in the play  caused much* enthusiasm and ap  plause was loud
when the stringed  cow and dog leaned gradually across  the stage.  .,. Old
Rip, with his low, easygoing  voice was master of the.show, al  though his
dame and daughter had  their parts, too. The scene in the  mountains with
the multi-numbered  dwarfs and the keg of snock which  Rip drank were
effective and the  audience was awed with the suddenness  of the ghost's
appearance on  the quietness of the landscape.  Characters Displayed  Even
the audience admitted that  Rip must have enjoyed his 20 years  sleep,
while his return to his home  later and t h e meeting of his wife  and
daughter all were surprizingly  real. At t h e end of the show E. A. 
Searle, himself, came onto the stage,  everyone looked around to see if 
the world was made of dwarfs and  giants or were people really natural 
sized.  . There were 21 characters in the  show which was made up of two 
acts and seven scenes. Seven men  and women pulled the strings and  did the
talking for t he characters.  There was not a mistake at either  of t h e
performances in the pulling  of t h e strings and the show  went through
without a mishap.  o '  " F A T H E R W I L L I A M"  ( U p to Date. Guess
Who?)  "You are cold, Mr. Blank", the  young man said,  "And your hair has
become very  while;  And yet, you are younger than any  of us—  Do
you think, at your age, it is  right?"  "In my youth," Mr. Blank replied 
to the boy,  "I Would hardly have thought  that it was,  Bui now that I'm
old I count it a  joy  To be younger than once thai I  Was."  "You are
old," said the youth, "as  I mentioned before,  And you re not very big, at
that,  Yet still you are filled with wisdom  and lore;  Pray, what is the
reason of  that?"  "In my youth," said the sage, adjusting  his specs,  " /
kept my eyes open and asked  Questions enough to have slumped  a
detec—  Now quit poking into my past."  "You are old," said the
youth, "one  would hardly suppose  That your arm WJJS as strong as  ever, 
Yet you bang with your fist and  slam a book closed—  now do you keep
so remarkably  clever?"  *7 have answered two questions,  and that is
enough,"  Said the teacher, "don I give  yourself airs!  Do you think I can
listen all day  to such stuff?  Be off, or Til kick you down  stairs."
