VOT.. XXX—NO. 34 WASHTNGTON^SE NORMAL SCHOOL; BELLINGHAM,
WASHINGTON Wednesday. June 10 gt; 1931 AU REVOIR LINCOLN'S DEPRAVITY
MORALITY PLAY STARVATION WAGES Roger Chapman. Ho-hum. Ye Normalite quffl
gt;s getting dull. Another quarter's supply of ink is almost exhausted
and this is another scribe's farewelL Another picture is added to the
rogues' gallery of ex-columnists, and may our successors add humor,
dignity, or pathos to the Viking pages. —W.S.N.S.— Abraham
Lincoln has been found by psychoanalysts to. have had a Schizoid-manic
personality because he is supposed to have liked obscene jokes. This
discovery can't hurt his reputation. He was supposed to have been a
Republican, too. ANNUAL EXERCISES TO FINISH TH1RIY-SEI FACULTY TO FORM
AS ESCORTS FOR LINE OF MARCH OF GRADUATES. Local Orchestra DR. W. D.
KHtKPATRICK WILL GIVE DIPLOMAS TO GROUP. —W.S.N.S.— Wouldn't
it be interesting at this time of the year to look forward a bit and try
to picture the graduates, say forty years from now. How many will still
be teaching school? How many will have lost all expression except the
"normal expression of a teacher"? Perhaps none of them will be teaching
school forty years from now. We hope they wont for civilization's sake,
and also their own. Just think how old-fashioned you'll be.
—W.S.N.S.— A certain well known faculty member walked into
The Viking office the other day .and said it was the messiest place in
the school, and that she was ashamed to have any of her pupils come into
such a place. If any of the teachers' offices had to serve as work room
for twenty-five reporters it would probably be messy, too.
—W.S.N.5.— Someone in this school has signed up for a six
months school at a salary of $60 a month. Others have taken schools at
$75 a month. And people talk about a standard of living. Even at $75 a
month for a nine months school how long would it take a person to save
enough money to go on to college. There may be hard times in other
fields, but grammar grade teaching has degenerated from - a position to a
job and almost to slave labor, for society still places strict
qualifications, moral especially, on her school teachers. If anyone
plans teaching school to make money he had better change his plans
quickly. It perhaps is a good way to spend a genteel life of poverty,
that is if you hold your job. But still can it even be an honorable
profession at less than $75 a month? THE WEEK'S WORRIES Getting ready

Breakfast The graduating class of Belling-ham State Normal will hold its
thirty- second annual commencement exercises tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock in the auditorium. Piling through a lane formed by the faculty
the graduates will march down the front walk in, the usual drill
formation to music'played by the Normal School orchestra. The invocation
will be delivered by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith. The audience will sing
"America, the Beautiful," following which the commencement address will
be given by Mr. Ben H. Kizer of Spokane, Washington. Two selections,
"Red Rose" by Hadley and the Ballet Suite, "Rosa-i munde," by Schubert,
will be played by the Normal School Orchestra. President C. H. Fisher
will present the class and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board
of trustees, will present the diplomas. The delivering of the benediction
by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith will close the exercises. In accordance with
the traditions of the school, the graduating class will hold its
customary rituals-tonight in the auditorium and on the campus at 8
o'clock. Opening the exercises with the singing of the Alma Mater by the
class, the procedure will continue as in the past. Charles Dowell,
president of the Sophomore class, will present the key and book to the
Freshman class. Vernon ^Leatha, vice-president of the Freshmen, will
accept the trust in behalf of his class. After the singing of "The White
and Blue," the graduating class, led by the Sophomore executive council,
will go in a procession to the stone. The placing of the numerals in the
storied walk will be done by Charles Dowell. When the "Aspiration" has
been given by Louise Oberleitner, the procession will continue to Edens
Hall, where a reception will be given in honor of the class. GRADERS GIVE
PLAY FANTASTIC DRAMA PRESENTED BY SEVENTH GRADE PUPILS. In their regular
training school assembly this morning, the members of the Seventh Grade
Drama Club gave an excellent presentation of "The Slippers of
Cinderella," a fanr tastic play. All the seventh grade teachers and Mr.
Victor H. Hoppe helped in the preparation of the play, which centered
around the domestic affairs of an English family who suddenly found
themselves no longer wealthy and in need of a means to support
themselves. Through the magic aid of a fairy godmother the affairs of the
household were put in such a state as to put the family in a panic before
they can get back to their normal atmosphere before the long-expected
very wealthy aunt of the family arrives. Myra, the eldest daughter in the
family, is played by Edith Farlow. Polly and Dolly, the twins, are very
well portrayed to the audience by Margaret Boyd and Vivian Clark. Jack
Whitmore is Jimmy and Agatha-next-door is played by Lorraine Elliers.
Margaret. Jane Bruff plays in the role of Jane, the maid. Betty Burnet is
Elise and Jean Wellington is the Fairy Godmother. MORNING ASSEMBLY
ANNUAL GLASS DAY PRESIDENT FISHER DISCUSSES - WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
CLASS SINCE ENTRY. CUP AWARDED KLIPSUN MAKES GAIN FINANCIAL REPORT S HOW
S BOOK TO HAVE SLIGHT EDGE. ENROLLMENT OPENS SATURDAY. JUNE 13 ADVANCED
COURSES OFFERED IN SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. ELEVEN ARE PLACED APPOINTMENTS
TO TEACHING POSITIONS ARE ANNOUNCED. Registration for the Summer quarter
will be held all day Saturday, June 13. Classes will begin the following
Monday at 8 a. m. Registration for the coming" quarter will be closed
after the first-week of the opening of/the Summer session. Courses i
offered are practically identical with those given in previous quarters
with the exception that several special courses are offered to meet the
needs of the advanced students. Many of the courses are offered for the
first half of the quarter, and some for the second half to accommodate
students who wish to enroll for shorter terms. Activity Fee Raised To
counteract the recent budget cut, the student activity fee will be raised
to eight dollars and the library, health and paper fee raised to three
dollars, besides the regular course fees and laboratory fees. Several new
courses will be offered. Three new Home Economics courses will be taught
by Miss Frances Wiley. They are Home Economics 101, Foods and Cookery, a
five credit course for students preparing to teach Home Economics. Home
Economics 105 is a three As a fitting beginning to the annual Class Day
activities, the regular Class Day assembly was held this morning at 11
o'clock in the auditorium. The presenting of the Freshman Cup by Charles
Dowell to an outstanding Freshman student started the program. Vocal
Solo Given It was followed by a vocal solo by Charlotte Glinesky,
accompanied by Aileen Hurlbert. Miss Glinesky sang the charming little
number called "Piper June," by Molly Carew. Under the direction of Miss
Mildred Jewell of the Physical Education department, the graceful flowing
"Valse" was performed by a group of students in the Natural Dancing
class. Lois Hesseltine, Virginia Howell, Edythe Koski, Mary McDonald,
Evelyn Montgomery, and Wilma Neeley interpreted the rhythm with a subtle
grace. Farce Produced With his usual masterly technique and
interpretation, Jack Schafer played the "Staccato Caprice" by Max
Vogrich. gt; Presented by the Play Production class under the direction
of Frances Benson, the amusing farce, "Lov» Is Like That," by
Ryerson and Clemens, was a light touch which pleased the students.
Frances Wilmarth, Effie Deighton, and Isabel Jenne were starred in the
production. President Fisher Speaks As an appropriate climax to the
assembly, President C. H. Fisher addressed the students with an inspiring
discussion upon the work done by the graduating class. The main business
at the -final meeting of the quarter of the Board of Control last night
consisted of some back business and bits of rour tine work. Masters,
Ruckmick, and O'Donnell were not in attendance. Klipsun Ahead Three of
the items dealt with the recent publication of the Klipsun. Suzanne
Waters was voted the salary due her for a year's work, which amounted to
$100. David Morse reported that financially the book was successful and
came out a few dollars ahead. His report was accepted and the Board also
awarded him his official VW" pin for work as business manager of the
book. Reports were given on the recent Men's Club Vodvil show, and
Skot-heim's report on the "Pass Issuance," which wasv held over from the
last meeting, was read and accepted. It supplants present Rec hour rules
and divides them into clearer points, as well as providing for the
carrying out of these. Mixer Planned It was announced that the Board
will handle a mixer, to be held at the start of the summer quarter, with
the date to be set later. o FOUR OTHER STUDENTS HAVE HIGH AVERAGES;
GENERAL LEVEL GOOD. First Winner 130 GRADE POINTS AGGREGATED IN TWO
QUARTERS. NICHE IN LIBRARY IN HONOR OF MISS EDENS PLANNED BY SPIESEKE
FISHER ADDRESSES ALUMNI GATHERING STRESSES FUTURE GROWTH OF NORMAL AT
ANNUAL EVENT. Pointing out some of the problems that the officials of the
school have had to meet during the past year and following through with
Wilfred Gunderson, modest, red* headed, studious Freshman youth, stepped
forward in assembly this morning, his freckled face beaming happily as he
heard the sentence: "First winner of the newly established Freshman
Scholastic Cup." Four classmates of Gunderson's received honorable
mention. In each case their scholastic standing was said to be unusually
high. Four Get Mention These four are Paul Williams, president of the
class, son of Professor Pelagius Williams and Whatcom high graduate;
Dorothy Top, who hails from Everson, a Whatcom county town; Nellie Cox,
another local student who completed her high school studies at Whatcom
high; and Enid Rasmus, who is an put of the state resident, and who
graduated from Astoria, Oregon, high school last spring. Gunderson's
record is one of un-' usual high grades, and figured on the basis of the
grade point system amounts to 130 points for the Fall and Winteii
quarters studies. His Spring quarter work is on an approximately equal
standard, and his grades have been given to the awards

Stoddard REPORTERS Lucile Jordan Gerda Jensen Fred Haggard Evelyn
Elliott Thelma Evensen Gordon Nichols John Gable Dale Thompson It is
customary for The Northwest Viking to be reduced by one column for the
issues of each summer quarter, leaving it a six instead of seven column
sheet. This week, which marks the final issue of the spring quarter, finds
The Viking down to six columns. Things are slack, news is hard to get,
students are busy with exams, and the paper is appearing three days ahead
of schedule to catch the Freshmen before they leave for home. Or maybe it
is coming out short columned on account of the fact that the warm weather
has rushed the summer season to a certain extent. (These facts ar^
published through the courtesy and cooperation of Mr. L. A. Kibbe, of
the faculty, who is the proud owner of every annual published by this
school, with the exception of that of 1901. Mr. Kibbe would be very
interested in tracing the whereabouts of this one edition.) WE ADVISE,
TEN There are over two hundred students finishing up this quarter tomorrow
with the certified right to go out and accept jobs to teach youngsters in
grade schools. They have had a taste of this work already in their
practice teaching and yet there will be problems that will have to be met
face to face, placing a responsibility on these people when they receive
that diploma tomorrow morning. There are those that have proved themselves
fully qualified to go out and take their first school, or school room, as
it may be. Others do not appear quite as ready for the task as some of
their fellow students, while still others, though we are not authorities
on actual teaching fitness, are probably incapable of standing any strong
headwinds in their flimsy built crafts. We do not draw our blunt
cross-grain of this class, any class for that matter, for they are all
divided between the excellent and the poor, by their actual ability to get
grades or not to get them, but considerably on their faculties to
harmonize with colleagues, strangers, enemies, or varied and new matters
that present themselves daily. We are not throwing out innuendoes, nor
attempting to "rub" any of those that we have so generally classed in the
above part of the article, nor are we thinking of any one person. We do
feel that we have a bit of advice that all will agree is logical and a bit
that many can well afford to look themselves over carefully for and then
inject it into the system if lacking, and if there to still bring in to
bear weight—COUNT TO TEN BEFORE ACTING. Few phrases are more widely
known, few simpler, few more logical, few more laughed at, and few better
for the student starting out of this institution to teach for the first
time. That division that includes those well qualified for teaching
according to high scholastic marks will include one or two that will
encounter trouble by failing to count off those digits and then to use the
"Ol' bean next." It will apply to any other of the individual gradings we
have slightly outlined here. Don't forget that there will be that student
banked upon to make an absolute failure of his first year's work, that
will get down and take himself seriously enough to use his energies
intelligently and will do a real good job. We sincerely hope that all
those graduating tomorrow will be able to land positions before the school
year starts next fall. . It is a calamity for them to spend two years or
more in preparing themselves for such work and then be unable to get
employment. Many have borrowed money that must be paid back and have gone
through all that study with the hopes and worries connected with the
necessity of getting work. Times are hard, competition strong, nothing can
be done to alter the layout at the present, but we can all hope for the
better and not 'become too pessimistic and lay down our endeavors as
hopeless. We have attempted to serve all under this regime of the paper
during the past three quarters with a sheet that is a worthy organ of the
school and one that has the best standards obtainable for the situation to
be met with each issue. We have made friends and enemies—we expect
that in the position we are in. We have listened—sometimes not
patiently— to harsh and destructive criticisms, and we have been
pleased and honored with handshakes for attributed good work. Modesty is
nice, but "he who tooteth not his own horn the same thereof shall not be
tooted." Consequently we are not committing error in our own minds by
informing the students and faculty that we think we have given them a
paper that is worthy of the place accorded in the school. We brought the
school a first place from a national paper judging contest that had
widespread competition, open to any. We have brought it news never given
to the students previously until the following week. We have kept it to
many high levels in departments that have been set for us by our
predecessors. We have erred several times and have been willing to admit
it and do everything in our power to smooth things over so that no harm
would come to the school or the individual from it, while we also feel
that we have received several knocks and slams entirely unjust and not due
us. Through it all we have enjoyed ourselves and feel that the ultimate
result is many friends worth having, and we wish to thank all those that
have co-operated with us—impossible to do it alone. We hate to see
many of the traditions started with the forming of the present graduating
class into a freshman class, shattered, so we hand out our goodbye and
best wishes now and don't forget—COUNT TO TEN AND THEN USE "THE OL'
BEAN." We read where a California judge rules that anyone seeing liquor
in a friend's house and failing to report it, is likewise a, law-breaker.
Whether the situation is on the prohibition question or not, it will be a
hard world to(get along in if everyone is ?fcutting the throat" of his
neighbor.;: Revenge will reign supreme.^ ;-.-=^-..- ^?/V.': Would it hot
be fascinating to go back thirty-one and a half years ago and witness,
the formal opening of this State Normal school? Were You There? Taken
from "The Normal Messenger," Fall quarter number of December, 1899, is
the following excerpt: "The formal opening reception of the Normal school
was held on the evening of October 28. The board of trustees, the faculty
and the students received their invited guests, who included the citizens
of New Whatcom and all those interested in the building, which was
elaborately decorated for the occasion. Among the distinguished guests
who were present were Governor and Mrs. John R. Rogers and State
Superintendent of Schools Frank J. Browne. A short informal program was
presented and refreshments were served in three of the recitation rooms."
"She Liked It" From the sublime upward we find notes concerning every
form of student and faculty activity, headed by "Truth and Love, the
Watchword of the Teacher," an article by the first English instructor,
Jane Con-nell. A note from the gay old nineties (this time in the
advertising columns) showing that times have changed, but not enough to
eliminate those dear old advertising columns: "Bicyclers, Take Note!"

S^^^:^* ^-tfiS6 U •\,\\..'.By JIMMY STODDARD Wilson Gaw,
new Seattle Indian outfielder, and former captain of the University of
Washington baseball nine, certainly started his professional career off
with a bang. Against the San Francisco .Seals last Saturday, Gaw, in his
first trip to the plate, cracked put a home run on the first ball
pitched. George Pocock, famous builder of racing shells, who has had his
headquarters in the Washington crew house for many years, will have
special interest in the regatta on the Hudson this spring. Pocock
fashioned seven of the nine shells that will carry the nation's leading
crews in the yearly classic. Lake Washington, on June 16 will be the
scene of one of the most novel crew races ever seen on the Pacific coast.
The crews are called the light weight oarsmen and average about 150
pounds. A newly formed crew from the Husky realm and Don Grant's famous
lightweight crew from Yale will tangle for honors. The weight of each
crew is not to exceed 1,200 pounds. Gordon Broadbent, a Viking two-year
letterman in tennis, was seen roaming about the campus Monday. Gordon was
a star on the courts about five or six years ago. gt; It seems to be
pretty hard for Norman Bright to leave his old stamping grounds, i. e.,
the Normal track. In his tapering off work he seems to be putting as much
conscientious effort into it as when he Was driving for his record mile
two Weeks ago. In a true spirit of something or other, Mr. Sam Ford
offered the Co-op baseballers a free candy bar if they downed the Krew.
Needless to say, they did. Bronzed athletes of the University of
Southern California swept into the National Collegiate Athletic
Association track and jfield championship last Saturday with a record
smashing total of 77 1-7 points. The Trojans won overwhelmingly. / Their
nearest rivaly Ohio State, scored 31 points. Talbot Hartley, U. of W.,
placed fifth in the 440-yard dash which was won by Williams of U. S. C.
Eddie Cenung, defending half-mile champ from Washington, placed third in
his event, which was ywon by Dale of the University of Chicago in a
thrilling 1:53.5 race. Cenung was but two or three strides behind.
College studies suffer more from students dancing than from athletics,
says Dr. W. Hamilton Fyfe, principal of Queen's University. Dr. Fyfe
admits, however, that "it would be a waste of words to deplore at length
the excessive demands of dancing upon the time of some students."
Athletic students are .better students than those who spend their spare
time dancing, he declares. Seems as though our athletes about school are
getting as much of a workout affixing their John Henrys to the new
Klipsuns as they would if they were turning out under the coaches. In
closing this column for the last issue of this quarter we think it would
be entirely fitting-to make a brief survey of the past three quarter's
athletic ventures. —o— Last autumn Coach Carver's gridiron
men, playing extraordinarily strong teams, did not fare quite so good as
far as wins were concerned. They downed the U. S. Coast Guard, Centralia
Junior College, and tied a strong College of Puget Sound machine. They
dropped games to Cheney, Ellensburg, Oregon State Normal and St. Mar-r
tins. ' ' ' • . ' • : A. Well,-]it looks as though weve run

gt;;'v'•£ TEAM WINS MEN'S WINNERS PLAYING STEADY BALL ALL
SEASON BREAK DEADLOCK TO TAKE HONORS. GISSBERG PITCHER Surprising even
their most ardent supporters, the dope-upsetting Co-op baseball "ten" won
the spring quarter intramural baseball championship by dropping the
Kitchen Krew 14-2, Monday evening, in as fast a game as has been played
this season. By virtue of this win the Bookstore squad rests on top of
the tattered heap which represents the downtrodden and defeated Kitchen
Krew, Reynolds Hall, and Fire Hall.. The Co-ops have not played
spectacular ball this season but certainly possessed the necessary punch
when the pinches came, and we might say that these so-called "pinches"
didn't come very often, as the Co-ops usually had enough lead to coast
along. Gissberg Pitches The Co-op pennant wnners entered the season
play-off with the Krew and Reynolds as the decided underdogs, with the
Krew favored to wade through the opposition with little trouble. Rollie
Gissberg has been the outstanding moundsman of the series. He was
borrowed by the Reynolds Tong and set the Krew down with a 7-6 defeat.
This win "deadlocked the three teams for the pennant. Then going back to
his own roost, Gissberg twirled his team to an 18-4 victory over the
Reynolds team to give he and his mates the second half championship. Then
tangling with Skotheim for the third time in the series game, Gissberg
again came off- with top honors with a 14-2 win and the season pennant.
Needless to say, he was given outstanding support by his teammates. The
winners started their part of the game off with a bang, scoring two
markers in the first inning. They scored again in the fourth and saw the
Krew push across their first marker in the fifth. In the fifth the Co-ops
found Skotheim's offerings and before the barrage of hits had ceased they
had pushed across four runs. The Krew attempted a rally but succeeded in
rolling in only a single man in the sixth. The Co-ops started on the Krew
offerings in the sixth where they had left off in the fifth. But this
time, before the smoke of battle had swept across the field, the Co-ops
had swept across the plate for six runs. Then as a good chaser, the
winners broke into the scoring column for a single digit in the final
inning. The dust, wind and sun handicapped the players and as a result a
few errors were made. The Krew were the greatest offenders and let in
several runs via the blunder route. E. Leatha had a perfect day at the
plate for the winners, with four bingles in as many attempts. He was
followed by Gissberg, who cracked out three hits and as many runs. Davis,
Osborne and Stude-baker led the percentage column for the losers with two
hits each. This game ended intramural activities for the Spring quarter.
More teams will probably be organized during the summer session. o
SERVICESJRE HELD REV. JAMES WILSON DELIVERS BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS. Last
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the baccalaureate services were held for
the Normal graduating class of 1931 in the Normal auditorium. Wilson's
Sermon The Rev. James M. Wilson, of St. James' Presbyterian church of Bel
lingham, delivered the sermon to a large and interested audience.
Prances Maurer sang a solo, "O Rest in- the Lord," by Mendelssohn. , The
reverend's theme was "Research and Reverence for' Science and Religion."
? Truth, said the minister, is to be found in both these fields, and the
truly scientific man is religious. Mr. Wilson \ said that the search for
truth leads to God. One is not dependent upon finding God in natural
things, the minister held, but may find Him within hisown personality^
The nigh-est;. expressibn of ;Gpd is :m 'the. per-;
s6n£iii^;oX;-:^s^ *-';^ BelfefFuled Ladder tournaments in golf,
hand* ball, horseshoes, tennis, basketball, and baseball are the men's
sports planned for the Summer quarter.; Under the supervision of Howard
(Dutch) Wilder the first half of the quarter will be taken up with
intramural' basketball. There will be four or five teams in the league.
If competition is as keen as preceding summer sessions, all men turning
out fortius sport will see real action, j The climax will be two games
with;jthe University of Washington summer squad. One. game will be played
on the local floor and the other in Seattle. R.: E. (Pop) Gunn will have
chargeof the last five weeks of the quarter. Intramural baseball will
take the lead. Plans are being formulated for the organization of teams
which will participate in league races. A heavy schedule of games is
being planned. It is undecided at the present time whether the hard or
soft ball will be used. The soft ball seems to be the most desirable. The
decision probably will be left up to the players. Some of the old timers
such as Tiny Blankenship, Zeke McCurken, Johnny Kure, Boltun, Granny
Thor-lakson, Oscar Thorsen, Leaden, H. McCleery, J. McCleery, Iverson,
and Skotheim will be out fighting for places on the different teams. o
Heavy Schedule of Sports Planned for Girls This Summer A most
interesting and varied sports program is being planned by the Women's
Physical Education Department for summer school students. The major
activities will be archery, baseball, and tennis, coached by Miss Genther
and Miss Jewell. Turnouts will begin soon after the quarter opens, and
managers will be chosen by the teams themselves at an early turnout.
•'-•'•• Schedule Adjusted The schedule of sports
is adjusted to the summer recreation program, which sponsors weekly hikes
on Wednesday afternoons, and turnout nights for the major sports are
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Every Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock
there will be group turnouts in baseball, and at these times both the men
and women of the school will participate. Tournaments for these sports
will be held, and there may be a horseshoe tournament also, depending
upon the number who are interested. Miss Genther is taking Miss Horton's
place as swimming instructor and she is planning various swimming
activities. A large number of W. A. A. members are returning to school,
and with their help this summer's sports program should be an exceedingly
good one. o TEACHERS SELECTED FOR SUMMER SESSION (Continued from Page
One) R. E. Gunn from the Normal will be the instructor in Physical
Education for Men. Miss Jennie Waugh, who will instruct in Speech, has an
A. B., Tarkio College, Missouri; A. M., Northwestern University, and has

FROCKS'; :,:V FURBELOWS By Helen Foster With the approach of June})
it's Yo-Ho for a bathing suit, a beach, quantities of sunshine, and a
salt breeze. And what will we wear? Never before have pajamas been so
popular as this summer, and heres an idea we saw the other day. What
could be more clever tharl a "3 in 1" outfit, which combines a house
frock, gym shorts^ and beach pajamas. Minus the . skirt you have a
charming oner-piece gym or clogging suit (everyone's clogging nowadays),
button on a skirt at the waist for a dress, or fasten on two skirt
sections at the bottom of the shorts for floppy legged pajamas. When yon
get the necessary coat of tan (quite painlessly if you use a sunburn
cream), you may adopt the bizarre Algerian colors—and
white—for these are the most popular for summer. Exotic hues of red,
green, yellow, purple, and blue clash with amazingly good taste in most
charming materials. Pajamas are of hardly, rough materials—
jerseys, linens and rajahs are practically the entire list tolerated by
fashion. Large floppy beach hats are picturesquely showing up on the
beach, and also quite the best looking beach shoes we've seen. Sandals
are made without toes, straps hold them hi place, and the fabric is gay
flowered and striped canvas and" kidskin. And since the necessity of
Wearing bathing suits is impressed on us by officials, our attention
turns to their looks. Two-piece suits are favored by many, and also the
Lido suits with straps to allow for sun tan, are as popular as last
summer. White suits are a pleasing contrast with an olive complexion.
Bernice Anderson wears a summery looking suit of rose colored silk
trimmed with stitched bands which is extremely good looking. And Eileen
Finley has a new creation in the way of hats, which she assures us is
taking the place of the beret in Paris. It is a sort of a boucle with a
jtwisted banc^' round the tight fitting crown, and makes a very chic
appearance. o HUNT AND REPORTERS REPLY TO COLUMNIST (Continued from

£\:£. ^ - ^ M ^ B A N Q I J ET (Continued from Page One) much
in praise of pur -board of trustees. These men behind the scenes met our
emergency situation in a magnificent way. Had the board of trustees been
made up of men of less vision and understanding we might have a different
story to tell. According to the outcome Of our difficulties there has
been pre^ served everything that is significant and that is essential.
Both students and faculty have responded to the demands of the situation
with a wonderful spirit," the President stated. Some changes were
necessary to assure the operation, of the school under such a financial
handicap, President Fisher pointed out, but he expressed his gratitude to
every member of the faculty for their co-operation. President Fisher
told the Alumni that a junior high training school to accommodate about
150 students was greatly needed at the Normal so that teachers may
prepare themselves for that division of the profession. Teachers
Co-operate Although the cutting of salaries was necessary because of the
reduction in the budget, not a teacher in the school resigned or refused
to sign a- contract for the coming year because of reduced salaries. A
welcome was extended to the Alumni. The spirit of the school was lauded
and President Fisher said the Normal was a school to be proud of by all
graduates. Stress was laid upon the requirements for teaching which have
been raised from the three months of a few years ago to three years
beginning next fall. He briefly described the first class of 1900,
composed of eight women, as compared with the present year, when about
220 will be graduated. The school has graduated about 6,500 students
since 1900, he said. Herbert Hansen, of Seattle, a graduate of 1921, was
elected president of the Alumni Association for the next year. Hansen
succeeded Kenneth Selby, also of Seattle. Selby was not present at the
banquet. Lyle Summers was chosen vice-president to succeed Albert Booman,
of Lynden. Booman acted as chairman at the banquet. Georgia Gragg was
re-elected secretary-treasurer. A fund will be established by the Alumni
to purchase books for the library. The fund will be a memorial to the
late Olive Edens, it was said. Diplomas Presented Dr. Fisher presented
275 life diplomas to those completing the necessary requirements. He
said, that teachers found it morel, difficult each year to qualify for
the diplomas. The requirements are made strict to improve the educational
system, he said. Washington state should be proud of the high standard
that class room teaching has attained, President Fisher said.
Representatives from a number of former graduating classes were called
upon for brief talks. Miss Emma Whitworth was a representative of the
oldest graduating class of the school. She belongs to the class of 1901.
Others heard in talks were Mrs. Ethel Birney Laube, 1906; Herbert Hansen,
1921; George Abbey, 1926, and Miss Mary McDonald, 1931. Miss Frances
Maurer was heard in vocal solos. Albert Booman called the roll of all
classes. The entire body joined in singing school songs. Dr. W. D.
Kirkpatrick, chairman of the board of trustees, was scheduled to talk,
but was called away early in the evening. Program Song Alma Mater

author of the story about The Viking staff picnic which came off
Wednesday evening, June 3, is unknown, but from the feeling of members of
the staff, and the weighty hints from*' the staff adviser, most of the
facts of the story were left out, unintentionally, of course. What/

bulls are bulls" by two Viking patriots by two Viking patriots by the
