Normalite Schools in Politics Appropriate Date . Dickensonia Hallowe'en
Assemblies \ By Pat Allan. l | l l " • • ii ii
•• in n •• n. m— An editorial in the
University of Washington Daily of Friday, Oct. 31, leaves us under the
impression that the University is drawn into politics whether it desires
to be so or not, and on these grounds has something quite definite to say
about the candidates in the coming election. Evidently the University is
such a large institution that it can well be a n egg for which to fight,
while t h e ' poor teachers and those who are training to be teachers
must struggle into politics all by themselves. W.S.N.S, And are the
teachers making a bid for recognition by the politicians! Half the
newspapers in the state print cartoons showing the blind teacher •
leading the innocent public to the "Bottomless Pit" and t he other half
of the organs illustrate the. "Noble educator," with her torch and pen,
refusing to let sordid "Business" leave the innocent child in ignorance.
- -——W.N.S.N. Headlines taken from the Washington State
Evergreen: "Montana Grizzlies Rated. Under-Dog, Says Dope Sheet." Two
columns to t he right the football game was listed as- the big feature of
the State College "Dad's Day." It seems that the wise committee for
"Dad's Day" did^not neglect to pick a sure win for the college when they
chose the date. W.S.N.S. I don't want to change the subject or anything,
but the other day I happened to see a calling card on the sidewalk. Being
human after a fashion, therefore more curious than is good for me, I
picked it up to read the name. Shades of Dickens! "Mrs. Quincy Adonis
Hegley-Fitchetbottom . . . !" ' W.S.N.S. Let's all bend our heads in
silent prayer at 7:30 tonight for the football team in faraway Tacoma.
"They're going to win! ——W.S.N.S.— How much more
pleasant would the 11 o'clock hours on Tuesday arid Friday be if all the
assemblies were interesting enough to the students to call forth the
enthusiasm and approval that the Utica Jubilee singers did last Tuesday.
An assembly program should be the highest talent possible which would
appeal to a large majority of^ the students. W.S.N.S.- - A bunch of t h
e boys blocked the "Royal Road to Romance" on All Hallow's EVe,
imprisoning several Mppy pairs on the stony sides of Sehome. - That was
the one good trick of t he evening, the one trick to be commended for its
good taste and excellence of execution. (I can think of a ,lot of other
excellent executions,- too). Hit of Summer Quarter Will Be Produced by .
Drama Club with Practically Original Cast. . ' lt; MR, HOPPE WELL CARRY
LEAD With next week's presentation of "Alison's House" another chapter
will be written in the history of dramatics in this school. It marks the
first time that the Drama club has ever seen fit to, produce the same
play two successive quarters. The play will be given one night only this
quarter. Thursday, Nov. 10, is the date set, Nov. 11 having been
cancelled due to Armistice diy recess. The club's in-- terpretation of
this Pulitzer p r i z e - winner during the summer quart e r was
heralded as one of the most successful pieces of work ever turned out
here. Because MR. HOPPE so few of the students in attendance now saw the
show this summer it was considered altogether fitting that it be presented
again by (with three exceptions) the same cast who so adroitly
personified the characters of Susan Glaspell's gripping sketch in the
previous production. "Alison's House" brings Mr. Hoppe to the Normal's
stage again in his first characterization since "The Pigeon" in the
summer of 1930. In "Alison's House" he will appear in the part of Father
Stanhope, a man whose very life is bound to family sentiment and pride.
The story centers around the family of Alison Stanhope, revered poetess
of t h e nineteenth century, and how her vivid personality, eighteen
years after her d e a t h , strangely shapes Vernon Leatha' their lives.
The cast is as follows: Father Stanhope, Alison's brother, Mr. Hoppe;
Elsa, Stanhope's daughr ter, Dorothy Fiala; Eben, Stanhope's i |M

Play to be Read I n next Tuesday's assembly, Mrs. Sarah Traiix Albert, of
Seattle, will read one of, Sherwood Anderson's plays entitled "Elizabeth
the Queen" This play is a historic one, based on the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. Mrs. Albert, under the name of Sarah Truax made herself well
known while she. was on the stage, and while in t h a t career she
displayed great acting ability. She has given up the stage now and has
become prominent in reading plays throughout this state. Freshman to
Build Largest Bonfire In History of Normal Homecoming In a n effort to
arouse interest among the frosh men concerning the, annual ^homecoming,
two articles have: been submitted t o t he Viking inratieffort to

committees to help put spark into the traditional fall. classic. Mickey
Clarke will have charge of the bonfire on Waldo field on Friday night,
November 18. Fuel for the affair is showing up on various parts of the
campus. Call it parade or serpentine, Art Pearson and Vernon Leatha '
will make it the talk of the twon. , Alumni Luncheon Saturday Doris
McElmon and Lew Lovegren are planning the alumni luncheon. This will be
held Saturday noon, November 19 at Edens Hall. Both alumni and students

were held to a tie by the Cheney Savages last week. When the whistle
blows Saturday afternoon, November 19, the Savages will probably
outweight the locals twenty pounds to a man. A determined Viking team is
necessary to hold back the invaders from the other side of the Cascades.
The game is scheduled to start at 2:15 p. m. Tickets for the game will be
on sale at school and downtown for those who do not have student activity
tickets. Students will be admitted for 25 cents and adult tickets are 50
cents each. Homecoming Hop a t Armory The homecoming hop will be held at
the Armory Saturday night at 8:30 p. m. Jack Burn's orchestra will play.
This affair is being handled by John Lensrud and J im Campbell. All

„._„_uu llll 111 'llil Political Ideas Are Balloted in
Friday Assembly Under the auspices of t he Social Science club, a straw
election was held in this morning's assembly. This is a part of the
series of straw elections held in nearly fifty colleges throughout the
United States. Favor for Hoover is shown from Washington State,
University of Washington, University of Southern California and
University of California. The University of Texas, oh the other hand,
shows a large majority for Roosevelt as do" the Universities of Texas and
South Carolina. Columbia and New York universities indicate a strong
preference for Norman Thomas. On the total number of votes cast the
division is as follows: Hoover, 35,670; Roosevelt, 21,- 526; Thomas,
12,235; Foster, 715. A straw vote, while not carrying much weight, should
be taken seriously enough to show the political inclination of the
student body . Appreciation Shown Normal Broadcast Over Station KVOS
Although few Normal school students listened in on the radio program
released over KVOS last Friday night, the response concerning it from the
town was very satisfactory. A definite time, 9:30-10:00 p. m., every
Friday, has been allotted for the school broadcast. The next offering
will be under the auspices of Mr. Harold B. Smith, head of t he Music
department. Daniel Botts, violinist; Ransford Wise, clarinetist; and
Christine Albers, pianist, will be heard. . Robert Becken, tenor, will
sing several numbers. A special Armistice day program will be broadcast,
the speaker to be announced later. Injuries and Illness Keeps Five
Students From Usual Classes Students obliged to miss school this week on
account of injuries received are: Virginia De Priest, suffering from an*
injured knee; Harold McGrath of Nooksack and Leslie Williams. Williams
received a fractured bone in his hand from football. Louise Contento
arid Wilburn Whipple have been absent during the past week, due to
illness. AURORA NAMED ALL-AMERICAN The Aurora, a publication of

OT A DREAM Pleasing indeed is the news that Harold B. Smith will devote
much of his time and energy this fall to to developing a school band. An
all-school organization of this type is something for which the students
have clamored for many years. Plans have been formulated before but lark
of leadership dampened any success that such a club might have attained.
In previous years it has been necessary to ask the services of downtown
fraternal groups when the Normal school has wanted band music. Our
Homecoming would be even more enjoyable with the realization that O U R
band was playing at the game or during the serpentine march. Pranks must
be considered as such on Hallowe'en. Thejbig, husky football player with
the mighty voice, takes the cake by turning out all the lights in the main
reading room of the library at 9 o'clock. "I do riot know beneath.what
skies '• / Nor on what seas shall be t hy fate— "I do not
know beneath what skies I only know it shall be high; I only know it
shall be great." Let the world be ignorant, let friends despair, or
neighbors scoff—one will believe. Her blind devotion, her unselfish
faith, can see t h a t spark within her boy that will send him beyond the
jabbing elbows of the crowd. Maybe it's h is mother, it may be a childhood
chum, possibly his sweetheart—but always one will believe, one will
know he cannot fail. Reward? Pagan' thought! So great the sacrifice and
so deep the love that all is wormwood unless he live in worthy manliness
and be crowned with hard-earned glory. He himself may not know whither
his barque is headed, but holding its bow into the seas, he determines he
will not drift. He dares not show how great is his love for her who gives
him courage, believing that only in the realization of his hopes and t h e
successful consumatibn of her dreams can he prove that his love, too, is
not a selfish thing, nor his words a hollow voice. « He can ask for
only that of which he has proved himself worthy. But should he
fail—what then? What if he set his goal too far beyond his grasp,
and all his striving, heart and soul, is unequal to the task? Can he face
those who love him? There lies tragedy—there is heart break. Some
must fail—what is their answer to be? School INA- H. KIRKMAN
;.')-• {, T OO MANY LATE; OO MUCH NOISE After attending the Utica
Singer's assembly this week, we were more than ordinarily, impressed with
the fact that late-arrivals indeed display discourtesy both to the artists
featured in the programs and to those students who have arrived early in
an attempt to get something from whatever talent may be presented. The
Utica Singers, bringing with them as fine a piece of entertainment as the
students have attended during the past season, must have been rather
disappointed to have their program rudely interrupted by a few tardy
spectators. Regulations must be inaugurated to cure this evil; if not,
both artist and. early spectators will be robbed of their just rights
during the hour. The Viking staff extends its sympathy to Darrow Gwinnup,
who recently lost his mother. TRAINING SCHOOL TAKES UP ORDER Much
Interest Shown in the Three Meetings Past "Come to Order" is not only
the title of a book, so far as the Officer's Training School is
concerned, but is also an actual practice. • The School was
organized to give the officers of the various organizations an
opportunity for practicing Parliamentary Law according to the theory
given in the book, "Come to Order." It is under the jurisdiction of the
Interclub Council and is headed by Miss Emma Erickson and Miss Nora B.
Cummins. Officers are elected* roll is called, minutes are read, and all
other business common to clubs is transacted in each meeting, giving the
members ample opportunity to t ry each office. Much interest has been
shown in the three meetings that have been held and t he clubs are urged
to send all their officers regularly. — - o— Women's
Organized Intramural Sports Display Fine Games Intramural games in
women's volleyball, soccer, and hockey are getting well under way, with
teams organized and first games played. Competition is already proving
keen between the various teams. Volleyball contestants have been divided
into three different teams with teams 1 and 2 playing the first game on
last Tuesday afternoon. Team 1 emerged from the peppy battle an easy
victor over,team 2. The schedule for the remainder of the quarter for

Announcement has been made of the marriage of Virginia Reed, the.
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Conner' O. Reed of this city, to Mr. Leslie M.
Miller, of Coupville, Washington. Mrs. Miller was a graduate of the
Fairhaven high school and the Bellingham Normal. She has been teaching in
the Coupeville schools during the past year. First steps are usually
excitirig in a home—occasionally so in school. On Wednesday the
third grade embarked with much enthusiasm, and no little argiiment, on i
ts map-making career. The result was a plat of Bellingham's water supply
sources, oriented from the third grade room. The map, a united class
project, is on a background of natural-toned tagboard. High street, with
the intersecting streets that lead toward the Sehome Hill reservoir, is
shown by pasting strips of gray; a n irregular expanse of green is the
Normal campus. Lake Whatcom and Lake Padden appear in blue paper, with
due regard to size, to direction, and to distance from, the campus. This
map is a natural evolution from a field trip of some days ago. While on
Sehome hill alert eyes picked out t h e reservoir which supplies Sehome
hill district, and immediately demands arose as to the what, the where,
and .how, and why. Answers to these questions have instituted a study of
the general importance of water supply for power, pleasure, and
navigation. A specific study of Bellingham's water system does not
sound"* so comprehensive, butf in actuality the- study of it in the
training school has embraced scientific points probably not yet a
thoroughly digested part of t h e . geographical knowledge of numerous
adult students near by. Use of the compass which was supplied by one of
the children soon took care of disagreements over "pointing north." A
magnetic needle became a part of the schoolroom furnishings after it was
observed that a compass placed on the campus did not agree precisely with
the Guide Meridian highway seen across town. A trip to the Maple street
pumping station was inaugurated by t he class, eager to solve the problem
of defeating gravity. . At present this map is tacked diagonally across
the corner of the classroom which is true north. It doesn't seem "just
right" to the children in any other position, but here the large "N" at
its top is exactly where i t "ought to be." PRESTON A. WRIGHT "ALISON'S

Audience ' With many a long drawn "oh" and "ah" Tuesday's assembly
audience ceased applauding the Utica Jubilee Singers and reluctantly left
the auditorium. From their first appearance to the final chord of their
last encore, the singers exhibited perfect voice harmony and unique
originality. They announced their own program, which was made up of Negro
spirituals, old Southern favorites, a reading, two ukelele selections,
several popular numbers and humorous Negro songs. All of these they sang,
with the exception of the popular arrangement of Goin' Home, without
accompaniment. The particularly delightful thing about these five Jubilee
Singers was the complete abandon and naivete with which each individual
singer interpreted the various selections. Their personnel consists of
Charles Williams, first tenor; M. H. Cole, second tenor; Clarence
Ratcliffe, alternate tenor and reader; S. M. Huggs, baritone; W. G.
Culver, bass, Mrs. Norman Cole, soprano and accompanist. Lensrud Elected;
Council Secretary Conflicts Settled Johnny Lensrud was elected
correspondence -secretary of the Inter- Club Council at a meeting of that
body held Wednesday, Nov. 3, for the purpose of settling some conflicts
in club programs. As a result of action taken by the Council, the Drama
and Social Science clubs will have to arrange new dates for their
meeings. The idea of having two assembly periods a month given over to
the Officers' Training school was disccussed and passed upon. If this can
be arranged, some members of the school will have charge of these two
assemblies. It was moved that the chairman appoint a committee to frame a
Council constitution. Members of this committee are Gordon Hamb-ley,
Ruth Neal, and Lois Shaffer The organization of a new club, the Iskra
club, in which Russian will be spoken, was discussed. The idea was
approved and this new club will have its meetings on the second and
fourth Thursdays of each month. N. E. A. to Broadcast Educational

W^HllfeTON StAti NORMAL fcHOOL. Ef INCaHM.S^ P?^?P#^r:Sr^!#*^ ; In
t he year 1907, the head man of the Blame education system gave up his
position to join the young Normal school a t Bellihgham. And then 15
years ago, this place got another break when the school superintendent of
Thurston county laid down his duties and embarked -for. our own fair
city. Gradually,/these., men have worked into the scheme of the
institution until they have become a tradition. Old students associate
them with the highest and the finest ideals that this school has offered
them. And what's more, these gentlemen are athletically-minded—and
how! . "^ I t just wouldn't seem natural to go to a football game without
seeing our kindly math prof moving up and down the sidelines, eyes on the
watch, with his hand reaching in his coat pocket for the gun... And who
can imagine a Viking track meet without our genial psych prof standing a
t the finish tape, picking them out?.. These two know sports from away
back and either one of them can tell you who was Normal's sub right, and
eleven years ago. Yessir, folks—it's Bond and Kibbe, the grand old
men of Bellingham athletics. o—o Football is packed full of
dramas, and last week one of them was enacted right out on our own
gridiron. Les Williams went into that game with a hand all bandaged up.
He was fighting on every play but in between times we noticed a look of
anguish on his face and we wondered—. There were only two of us
besides himself who knew about it, but that boy-was in there with a
busted hand. And maybe you think that any kind of a-v broken bone, no
matter how small it is, doesn't hurt! ! ! ! It's stuff like that that
makes us feel that we're worthy of the name Vikings.
—r-o—o—— "Have a Murad", said the football fan to
the sports' writer last Saturday, as they sat in front of the radio
listening to the game results coming in. o—o And how-that Pollaka
does smack into 'em! He's only been/ here a short time but fights as if
he's been playing with the Vikings for the past five years. He loves a
football that.fellow—can't get enough of it. He'd run out of his
way ten yards just to figure in the pile-up that stops the ball carrier.
o—o—— He stands up ,there_ yelling « and when that
ball's snapped he socks through., there., like., lightning and with head
down, he drives his shoulder into the ball-packer. With all of his energy
gone, he was "out" after the game Friday, and Why? Because he puts his
"all"-into every play. ——o—o—— Tonight We
tie into the College of Pugel Sound, Loggers and unless there's a big
reason for it, we'll be right there in Tacoma when the whistle blows. C.
P. S. stands at the top of the Northwest Conference ladder. Last Saturday
they fought their old rival, Willamette, to a standstill down at Salem,
Ore., but have won every other game to date. This means for us, plentee
of competition, and the toughest well get this year—. So, go get
'em Vikings! ——«——o — ' ' Ruth and

Blue Bird Inn Outweighed, but hot outfought, the Vikings held a powerful
St. Martins team.to a 0-0 tie in a spectacular football game last Friday
on Waldo field. Vikings Hold Bangers The contest was packed with
thrills but the outstanding feature of the game occurred in the first
quarter when the . Rangers drove deep into Normal territory to t he
one-yard line, only to be held for four downs by a sturdy defense that
refused to give a foot. The first three attempts by the Saints were line
smashes that failed to accomplish the purpose. On the fourth and last
try, the determined St.. Martin backfield started a sweeping, end run,
but Sinko, Normal's speedy halfback, came charging in to drive the
college ballpacker out of bounds and thereby keeping the Viking goal line
uncrossed. Normal Threatens The Vikings' opportunity to score came in
the first half when Smith, Normal halfback, intercepted a St. Martin pass
and with a clear field ahead of him galloped 55 yards before he was
overtaken from behind. Bagley then threw a pass to Christie who was
downed on the college 11-yard line. However, the Ranger defense stiffened
and the Viking scoring threat was over for that time. •- •
On a series of fumbles in the first half, Normal had the ball within the
Saint's 30-yard stripe four times, but was unable to advance it fur*
ther. Sinko Makes Run On one occasion, Sinko thrilled the crowd by a
spectaular return of a St. Martin kick. The ball, after be-' ing punted
by the Rangers, looked as if it were going out of bounds near midfield.
However, Sinko picked the ball out of the air after the first bounce, and
sprinted 25 yards through the St. Martins team before the amazed Rangers
were able to stop him. The second half of the game was mainly a punting
and passing duel between the two teams. Both squads were kicking
beautifully, but the passing attack was very poor, and few gains were
made via the air route. Turner Blocks Punt I n the fourth quarter,
Turner, Viking end, made a sensational block of a St. Martin punt. A
Normal player recovered the ball on the opponent's 45-yard line. But the
scoring punch was not evident, and Normal was unable to advance the ball.
However, the game ended a. few minutes later. The entire Viking squad
played heads up football, although the outstanding player was Sulkosky,
Viking Guard. Sulkosky, besides being an inspiration "to his team by
Jiis constant flow of pep, played a wonderful defensive game, being in
almost every St. Martin play. ——'-—-o Vikings A head in
Six Tilts Played in Past With C. P. S. Outfit This evening in Tacoma
marks the seventh meeting between the Loggers of C. P. S. and the Normal
Vikings on the gridiron. In the six previous games the Vikings rolled up
a total of 162 points to 48 points for their opponents, winning four
games losing one and tying the other. Rivalry started between the two
schools in 1916 when the Vikings stood out like a red nose to win twice
46 to 0 and 78 to 14. The next game wasn't played until 1921 when the
Normalites came out on top again, 17 to 6. The . next year the game
ended/again in favor of the Vikings, 14 to 7. They didn't meet .again
until, 19303 which ended in a 0 to 0 tie. And last year the Logger^ won
their'first game, 21 to 7. Name: Tinval R. Brinkman. Born i907; Ferndale,

defensive backfields in the history of the school and will give

future, a meeting of the managers of all the teams to be entered in the
intramural basketball league will be held here at school. • This
notice will be placed on the bulletin board in the P. E. office and.
Coach Carver wishes to stress the fact that. all the managers must attend
this meeting at the set time because of the fact that the schedule will
be drawn up a t this time. At present no teams have officially made
known their desire to enter the league but several teams are rumored to
be considering the matter. This opportunity to, enter a good league of
fast teams will be offered to any group of men in.school who wish
to-enter, a team and if there are too many teams entered it will be
necessary to have the games on more than three days a week. Several teams
are already turning •out in the ,gym in the afternoons. Although
the schedule will not commence until after the Thanksgiving holidays.
Basketball will be the favorite pastime of many of the young men gt;
before that time. WENTY-SEVEN gridders strong, the Viking football
squad led by Head Coach Sam Carver; -slipped into Tacoma this m o r n i
n g a n d tightened the i r belts with determination, as they face the
strong C. P. S. eleven tonight at the Tacoma stadium in one of the
toughest games on the Viking schedule. Facing a team that has hurdled
the strongest minor college football teams'in .this section, the Vikings
are on the short end of the odds. Sandberg's C. P. S. eleven has taken
Pacific University, Whitman, College of Idaho and tied with Willamette in
four successive weeks of play, and with two remaining games yet to play
are practically assured of first place, with a tie at the worst in the
final standings of the Northwest Conference. Beaton Back With the return
of Beaton in the backfield, the Vikings' chances are a little brighter as
Williams who did the kicking for the locals will be out for the PPPPP
