Friday, February 10, 1933 Normalite TO A DEGREE TWO EXERCISED MONEY TO
SPEND -By Bob Walters *• FEB: 17 ASSEMBLY IS TO FEATURE DANCER
Luisa Espinel to Present Pictures from Spain Little I t should be a week
of rejoicing for faculty, students and graduates of the Normal schools of
the State of Washington with the new Normal degree-granting authorization
tucked away in the bag. I t received the signature of Governor Martin,
who had assured President Fisher of his assent and has set the day that
will complete the campaign that has been carried on by Washington
educators for the past ten years, and that surely means business. To
make .the bill more effective, it carried by a vote in both the House and
the Senate, which was nearly a complete white-washing for the opposing
group... That alone must have been quite a tonic to the minds of those
who have fought and fought hard for years for this measure. They deserve
the fruits that come with unquestionable victory. President Fisher was
jubilant at the results and he should be. Here and now we congratulate
him wholeheartedly. A mere congratulation is so minute compared to the
hours of effort he has put in, that • it sounds like a pin dropping
in a room of fifteen riveting hammers. , // 15 something to run an
institution with a minimum of friction, but it is another thing to
advance its standing constantly. President Fisher has done both. W. S.
N. S. Our scholastic standing is excellent at the present time; with this
new angle it will add prestige to our education and that is what we want.
I think all agree to that. The time has past, or at least is in the dim,
backward distance, when the Normal schools of the state represented a
place to pick up a few canned facts to pass on to the coming generations
as the pure stuff, or for the student to put in time when unfit for
anything else, in other words, just a grist-mill turning out nonthinking,
non-leading, personality-minus weak-sisters of the teaching profession.
Maybe we haven't turned out world-beating athletes, BUT WE "Cuadros
Castizos" or little pictures from Spain and other Hispanic countries, is
the theme of a program to be presented in assembly on Friday, February
17, by Luisa Espinel, a dancer and interpreter of Spanish Folk music; In
addition to the repertoire of folk songs and dances of former ages, she
sings the songs of Spanish moderns such as de Falla, Granados Turina and
Nin. She also has a large collection of folk songs from our Southwestern
states and Mexico. Program Varied Her program is built around seven
groups of songs. The groups represent northern Spain, the Levant of
Spain, the south of Spain, the Spanish Moors, the north t gt;f Mexico and
California. For each dance she has a different costume and colorful
properties, many of which have histories of their own. Honored Highly
Miss Espinel has received two of the highest artistic honors accorded a
recitalist: in 1928 she was sent as a special envoy of the famous
Institute de las Espanas on a tour of the United States; and was
assisting ar-ist at the Anniversary Festival of Chambers of Music at
Pittsfield, Massachusetts, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge.

Adult Recreation Is Subject of Talk by P. E. Teacher E Powerful Partis
and Battling Brewer Will Battle (Continued on Page Two) SILLY SAM GIVEN
BY DRAMA CLASS Plot Portrays Factory Life Northern England A very fine
performance of the, one-act play, "Silly Sam," was presented in assembly
this morning by Victor H. Hoppe's play production group. •' The
plot is of a very simple and delicate nature dealing with the life of
Sarah, an old woman who has spent her entire life as a common . weaver in
one of the factories of northern England. Harriet Ricker-son, in this
difficult role did a fine bit. of character work. Roger Chapman,
characterized as the young curate, played his part in a calm and natural
manner. A touching, scene was created when Silly Sam, played by Nelson
Brewer arrives at the critical mo- • ment as a reprieve and saves
Sarah from the poor house. Katherine Bowden, playing the role of Emma, a
young weaver, did well in portraying the true meaning of friendship and
sympathy between the factory workers. Roger Chapman deserves considerable
praise for his directing of this successful production. ''. The play is
particularly appropriate at,:'this tune bemuse of the present existing
conditions among the the need of the bill not being que* : f a f l ^ r
wortfcr^^ "The Animal Kingdom," a four-star picture showing at the Mount
Baker theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week, will be sponsored
by the W. A. A. Until Tuesday, tickets for this motion picture can be
procured for 25 cents each, at the landing in front of the main door.
Twenty-five percent of each admission sold by organization members will
be cleared by the W. A. A. This sum will go to pay off. some of the
Sinclair Island lodge debt. "The Animal Kingdom" strangely enough, has
not a single animal in it. It is a clever satire on modern society. The
writer of the stage pro-production, Philip Barry, gave i t this title
simply because his characters show so many elemental emotions that they
are fit only to be ranked in the animal kingdom. Critic Praises Show
Pare Lorentz a critic of much note writes in Vanity Fair: "You could not
ask for a more skillful or careful or genuinely fine production than 'The
Animal Kingdom' To begin with it is by far the best study of poor little
rich people Barry has written. And as Leslie Howard, William Gorgan, Ann
Harding, and Myrna Loy have been secured for the leading characters, it
could hardly miss being a splendid production." _ o Barefoot Schoolboy
Bill Successful in Senate at Olympia The "Barefoot Schoolboy'' act,
introduced to the state senate by Senator Gable, father of John and
Charles Gable, attending Bellingham- Normal school, was passed by an
unanimous vote of those present yesterday. The bill provides that the
state bear half the running expenses of the' public schools, an increase
of 30% from the percentage formerly appropriated for this purpose. The
bill as passed was only amended in one respect from the one originally
proposed by the senator., The only debate, was that concerning the
proposed amendments,' Several phases of adult recreation will be
discussed next Wednesday, night by Miss Thelma Short, women's physical
education teacher, for regular broadcast Miss Short will link up with
adult pastimes the activities and forms of recreation in which the women.
are instructed here, showing that the Normal program of sports for girls
is such as will be of use to them after graduation. She will explain the
value of recreation to the students and to older people emphasizing its
continued need when school attendance is a thing of the past. o SPENCER
RESIGNS Tonight the wild men of the institution will meet in the big gym
to tear each other limb from limb, much to the amazement or amusement of
the fair young damsels and wolves of the school. The brawl will commence
at 7:30 and you will be admitted to the arena for the small fee of ten
cents, American money. (Canadian dough taken at the usual discount.) '
Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer will tangle in the main event for the
championship of the hilltop and the privilege of staying at the girls'
dormitory for six weeks— as if Brewer didn't spend most of his time
there anyhow. In addition there will be four other events including Gropy
Goheen and Duckem De Lancy at 140 lbs. This will be a fast bout. Cauley
Flowers and Ice Berg will tangle at "Two Hearts in Waltz Time" Auditorium

South Recover Health to U. of W. Regents Defer Action on Withdrawal
Acceptance President M. Lyle Spencer of the University of Washington has
handed his resignation to the new .board of regents. Dr. Spencer feels
the board should have freedom of action at this time and that his move is
for the best interests of the university. •In his resignation Dr
Spencer requested that he be transferred to the English department, a
position he held for a long time before taking over control of the
University. The regents have not accepted the resignation and are waiting
until a careful study is made. Harold B. Smith, head of the music
department left by boat from Seattle Wednesday night with his wife and
daughter for Palm Springs California. He will remain there until his
health is better. - Palm Springs is located in the desert part of
California and Mr. Smith hopes that the climate will hasten his
convalescence. In the fall quarter, Mr. Smith was taken ill with slow
pneumonia. His condition has improved decently, but he is not able to
come back to Normal for the spring quarter as he had hoped. —'- o

Tragedies Miss Keeler Speaks on Barefoot School Boy Act over KVOS
Discussing the new Barefoot School Boy act, Miss Delia Keeler, spoke over
KVOS last Wednesday evening on the weekly faculty broadcast. / Miss
Keeler reviewed the history of education in the state of Washington and
showed the development of more satisfactory legislation in its behalf.
She explained that few districts in the state are rich enough to support
schools with the levies which are now permissible. Explaining the
provisions and the purpose of the 1933 Barefoot Schoolboy Act, Miss
keeler summarized her speech by saying: "It is the fundamental purpose of
the new Barefoot Schooboy Act to fix standards for the state's and the
counties' shares of the support of the common schools, and thus to
preserve that equalizing principle'which has played so important a part
in our educational progress; and to pass on to the children of the state
their heritage; toe f ^ Members of the Shakespeare class taught by Miss
M. Belle Sperry, have finished the study of Shakespeare's comedies and
have begun the tragedies. Of the former, the group read several of

bill passed! It seems impossible that the goal of so much effort has been
reached. A new spirit, an undoubtedly better spirit, is saying what's to
be done in the executive chambers at Olympia. Governor Martin and our
friends in the legislature are to be thanked sincerely for their
contribution to the improvement of the educational system of the State of
Washington. But what a paradox it would be if the bill closing the three
schools were to be passed. Surely a gubernatorial veto would follow the
passage of such a bill. The Normal schools keep large number of people in
Washington at work who would otherwise be standing in breadlines. Both
the faculty and the student body of all three schools would be counted
among the unemployed if the institutions should close. Washington needs
its payroll. W e need our education. W e can have both! — o
Assemblies Again GRANDAD DESCRIBES SPORT OF OLD DAYS Scribe Told
"Muddyin"' Season Old South's Big Event Is Literary This and That
Selections from Milt Gross may be all well and good for tired business
men, but to present vaudeville "gags" to future teachers is an insult to
the profession and a slap in th face to those present. Townsfolk who
attended must have taken home very complimentary stories to the rest of
the people in Bellingham concerning the excellence of our assembly
programs and the intellectual level of entertainment designed to amuse
those who will teach their children. Money could be saved in the school
by. giving assemblies entirely over to clubs and organizations such as
Mr. Hoppe's speech and play-production classes, the Drama club, and
others, presenting programs of their own talent. The experience to the
participating students would be of great value to them, and certainly
programs superior to that of last Tuesday would be seen. The students are
to be compli-mnted on the civility they showed the contralto. Not an
uncouth razz-berry shook the sickly stillness after her selections. No
one laughed. No one even left. There was only silence, and the
impoliteness shown Prsident Fisher's slip-of-the-lip in a late assembly
was redeemed. Pitying adults heard Jeannette Gause sing in the assembly,
not unsympathetic children. _ o -. Bad Driveways Grandad, a rather hard
and lean old Texan, who still chews snoose, and plays dominoes and in
many other ways harks back to the "good old days," likes to tell about
all t he pleasures he used to enjoy years ago. I like to listen to him,
especially as he talks about "muddyin' ". Everyone goes "muddyin" ", for
the day set for that activity is just as much a holiday for the people of
the community as is the Fourth' of July, Pioneer's day or June Teenth*
All available draft animals are rounded up to accompany the picnickers
and when the party reaches the hunting ground—a slow-moving,
shallow stream—the day's fun begins. "Poor Whites" Appreciate
Holiday The recreation is not the kind of pleasure enjoyed by people who
consider play a regular part of every day's program. I t is t he
long-looked-for fun-fest that only hard-working "poor white" cotton
farmers can appreciate. The atmosphere of the occasion is one of
relaxation and intense enjoyment—a getting away for a time from the
routine and t he drudgery of the back-breaking and soul-killing toil of
the farms. "There is a fish-fry on today! Though tomorrow we may be
working like "niggers" there's a fish-fry on "today!" Fish Are Caught
with Mules and Clubs While the women and old men watch the festivities
from the river bank or make the necessary preparations for lunch the boys
and younger men begin to "fish." A few of them mount mules and wade them
into the deep pools where the yellow "cats" are to be found, while
another group of fishermen wade barelegged out into the middle of the
streams with clubs. The water soon gets considerable "muddied" and the
"cats" begin coming up for air. When a fish appears on the surface a
fisherman clubs him, throws him up on the bank and then looks around for
more victims. Occasionally a disturbed water moccasin makes the fishing
more interesting and exciting. Smell Those Catfish Fryin' While the fish
are being caught the women clean them and make ready for the picnic.
Small boys and girls play on a swing made by. nature: a trailing
grapevine. Others climb slippery elms and ride them to the ground A baby
plays on a blanket under its mother's Watchful eye. (Centipedes and
stinging lizards are sometimes met with in the grass.) Everyone is happy
and many are singing. Why shouldn't they sing and be gay! Isn't "muddyin'
" the most fun imaginable, outside that described in novels, and isn't
the smell of frying catfish wonderful? The fish-fry days are gone now,
for "muddyin' "has been made unlawful because it threatened to seriously
deplete the number of fish in southern- rivers and creeks, but the
twinkle in grandad's eye says he will always remember those "good old
days" with joy. *June 19, celebrated by the southern negroes as the
anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The early watermelons are
just getting ripe at this time of the year. o Last week John Galsworthy,
the last of the Victorian writers, and winner of the 1931 Nobel prize,
died at the age of sixty-six. Galsworthy was born in Surrey, England,
and was educated at Harrow and Oxford. He was admitted to the bar in
1890, but he thoroughly hated law. •":',''. He was of independent
means.and for several years after he gave up his law practice he~
traveled widely and read a great deal. On one of his voyages he met
Joseph Conrad and formed a fast friendship with him. Conrad had-begun to
write, and he showed Galsworthy a manuscript. The latter recognized the
worth of the work and advised Conrad to devote himself to writing. Thus
another great author was launched on his career. -Galsworthy himself had
no idea of becoming a writer, but he was encouraged to try. He was
twenty-eight when he began, and he said of his first tales, "They had
every4 fault." i n 1903 he commenced "A Man of Property," the frst of
the Forsyte series, which occupied twenty-six years of his life and
followed the Forsyte family through three generations. . . .' .•
He wrote his manuscripts rapidly in a bold .hand. He corrected them
extensively, making them always untidy. Galsworthy never made scenarios
for his plays or outlines for his novels, and never quite knew how they
were going to work out. He did not write under pressure of necessity, but
waited for inspiration. In 1930 Galsworthy announced the last of the
Forsyte series. "One can't keep on with that sort of thing indefinitely,
especially after one has killed one's principal character." The novels
"Maid in Waiting" and "Flowering Wilderness" begin the story of another
family. "It may continue on to be another saga. One never knows," was Mr.
Galsworthy's comment. GRADE SCHOOL HAS Program to Draw Attention to

Graduate Institutes a New Plan in Longview # To those who are interested
in the progressive type of school the work now being done at Longview by
Eve Catlin, a graduate of this school, is a token of what the teacher can
accomplish. Evidence that Miss Catlin's work is appreciated in her
community is the fact that her school has steadily grown larger. She
began by teach ing the three children of two families in their homes, but
when more and more mothers began sending their children to her, Miss
Catlin found it necessary to look about for a new home. In the basement
of a public library she now meets daily with her nine primary-grade
children while well-informed and well-educated mothers instruct the
pupils of the intermediate and upper grades. In addition to the usual
academic subjects music, dramatics, and French are also taught. Not long
ago Elizabeth Hopper, Director of the Appointment Bureau, received a
letter from Miss Catlin in regard to the experiment she is undertaking at
Longview. If optimism is an augury of success, then much is to be
expected of Miss Catlin in the future. o STUDENTS HAVE FLU This week's
list of illnesses from the nurse's office show that flu is still the main
cause of absence. Jerry Robinson, Victor Iverson, Sister Mary Michael,
Ann Prendergast Mrs. Corrine Longwood and Homer Siler have been out of
school because of various forms of influenza. An injured heel received in
a basketball game has kept Arvid Griffen at home. Glenn Rockey has been
absent as a result of his mothers illness, o Silence Reigns During Last

Room of Edens Hall there was silence for a half hour, despite the fact
that four tables of cards were in session. The occasion was the last lap

first four hands of the last day's play. This tournament has been

M^INGTOI^ST^ 8Y URGEMARGIN Powerful Eastern Team Holds a Big Lead
Throughout Contest to Win by Score of 42-29. SILL IS HIGH POINT GETTER
VikingTs in Final Showing Before Local Normal Fans I n their last home
game of the season, the Viking basketball team ras no match for a
swift-passing, sure-shooting Ellensburg quintet and were defeated 42 to
29. The contest was played last Wednesday on the Whatcom floor. Wildcat
Defense Good The Wildcats presented a close-checking defense and a
puzzling offense which worked with perfect smoothness. The eastern
hoopmen featured the'game with sensational floor shots coupled with their
center system of "feeding" to the scorers under the basket. Ellensburg
Takes Lead Ellensburg jumped into a quick lead and ran the score up to
12-2. Bellingham retaliated however with Rork Moser, Nolte, and Clint Mc-
Beath doing the work to make the score 10-7. Ellensburg looped a long
one as did Malcolm McBeath for the local five. The easter^i team came
back to sink two more beautiful shots which were immediately followed by
a field goal by Moser. The Wildcats made two more baskets to run the
score to 20-11 as the half ended. Wildcats Open Up Rork opened the
second round by scoring for Bellingham. Ellensburg looped a field goal.
Clint McBeath also scored. The Wildcat retaliated with another goal,

cries the intramural managers the other evening after one of the main
events went the; full two rounds and an overtime before the referee could
part the boys to find out what the figjht wias -about. This season's
Inter-school hoop league is about the most gore-thirsty regiment of fat
rascals that the school has witnessed in years. It looks like the former
Baron, Charles Gable and his Garden Terrace crooners have a strangle-hold
on the championship cup (Mrs. Baughman says that any of the boys can down
three in a row without cream or sugar). Oh, well, we can't all be
presidents, so just take it with a grain of sugar and a drop of milk, it's
better that way anyhow. The boys' play basketball under the title of
Viking Manor but that's alright. Folks, you missed the biggest game of the
season the other day when the Varsity and the JayVees held an afternoon
turnout 'at the Sandison Studios. It looked like a little posing act for
General Motors and Chevrolet radiator caps but they tell me it's the
Klipsun fad. * * *__.* * Jimmy Phelan returns to U. of W. to lead the

Miss Lucy Kangley of the English department spoke to the members of the
Teaching Technique classes yesterday afternoon at four o'clock in room
239 on the subject "How $p Write Application Letters". Miss Kangley spoke
of the "psychological approach" to be used in writing applications
pointing out that the job-seeker should give the impression that he is
fitted for the position offered. "An easy conversational but
business-like and direct Coach Sam Carver says that with the first track
meet scheduled with Ellensburg on April 29, the cinder turnouts will get
earnestly under way next month. The last game on the basketball schedule
will be played next week, and with the advent of good weather, the more
eager boys will be out on the track the following week going thru their
limbering-up paces. It's no secret that right now, the prospects for a
high class squad of cinder artists have never been any brighter. This
quarter there is a wealth of veteran, material in the school, and most of
the men plan to return in the Spring. Sprinters Hot In the sprints,
Normal will have Schilaty the best century man in the minor colleges of
the state, and Chuck Thomas, who can usually be" counted on to finish a
race in the one of the point-winning places. Prospects are not too bright
in the middle distance runs but Johnny Stiger, Bob Hall, Bob Becken and
Johnny Christy will be on hand while Albee, the county high school
half-mile champion from Whatcom, will give the veterans a little
competition. Topped by Johnny Gable, trinomial champion the Vikings will
have a quartet of nifty broad jumpers which will include Howard Was-ley,
Lee Williams and Dutch McBeath, a newcomer who will also see action in
high jumping. Pearl, a classy broad-jumper from Lynden, is also figured
on in this event. Pole-Vaulters Good Davey Jones and Posey Flowers can
be counted on to take two places in the pole-vault against almost any
competition that we shall encounter. Normal will be short on hurdle
artists but Sam has received word that Jim Davis one of the very best
hurdle men Normal has had in recent years, is contemplating returning to
school next quarter Lew Lovegren, Brink Brinkman and Jo Johanhsen, a
letterman in the mile who has sent word that he will probably come back,
will be on hand to give the Vikings some high-powered materials in the
distance runs. Many Javelin Throwers In the throwing division of the
field events such potent performers as Berg, in the weights and javelin.
Kemphaus, a last year's spear-tos-ser, and Temple who formerly threw the
javelin at C. P. S., will aid Normal in gathering in the points. All of
these boys, added to new men who are in school but of unknown quality,
should develop into the formation of a first-class track team.
