jLOofe .... By WALT BAKER ...After last week's bit of sticking my
neck out about this and that and the other thing, I'll start this week's
LOOK by relating a humorous incident that really happened to a student of
the University of Notre Dame recently . ..It seems that this fellow, back
in the year 1940 heeded a job and applied to several concerns in the city
of Chicago ..Just picture a neatly dressed freshman business ad major
trooping into the office of an intended employer ..The interview went
something like this Y. M. _... I understand you have an opening for a
third assistant ink salesman? Employer. (Very busily fussing with
papers) "Have you a PH. D., L. L. D. and a Phi Beta Kappa key? Y. ML
"No, I ah Employer: Sorry, we employ no one unless he has at least two
degrees. TIME AS USUAL STAGGERS ON. Neatly dressed young man entering
office....(same one). ....Employer Come right in! How does that chair
fit? ..Your salary will be $300.00 per month and you'll work a five day a
week schedule. Hours from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m., with two'hours off for
lunch. ..We'll also furnish traveling expenses to and from your home.
.What do you say? Y. ML Well swell, but I ? Employer. You'll have two
pri- -vate ^secretaries- and an air conditioned office. Y. ML "Well,
I..._„: ? Employer............We'll even throw in an unlimited
gasoline card and a cream convertible and eight brand new tires! Y. M.
That'd be swell, and I'd like to accept/ but I just came down to tell you
that I'm leaving for the army next week. (You had to use your imagination
a little, but it gives one a general idea of conditions.) DEAD END: Last
weekend will go down as one of the events that will be hard to forget in
life here at Western Washington Saturday evening, your scribe and the
majority of Hospice's population, including the women, hopped into our
transportation vehicle, and journeyed out to the summer home of JOHN
ROBERT GERMAIN, located at Neptune Beach A good evening salt water swim
opened-the proceedings, followed by a beach fire party, with heaps of
potato salad, sandwiches, chicken and ice cold drinks .This was followed
with songs, recorded music, story telling,, etc. The next morning a swim
before a breakfast of hot stacks, etc. Climax of the weekend was that
excellent barbecued salmon of MR/GERMAIN'S (I cartt go on.) By the way,
the Germain place is tabbed, "Dead End." AMERICA AND COLLEGE God built
a, continent with glory, filled with treasures untold. He bedecked it

Tuesday Juanita Carter, American soprano, will appear in Tuesday's
assembly. Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Miss Carter has been singing since
she was four, and when she was thirteen, she took up music as a career.
Studying in New York under Oscar Seagle and later with Nadia Boulanger,
she has sung with many oratorio societies and in concert. Miss Carter was
the leading soprano with the Philadelphia Opera Company, and has appeared
with the Boston Symphony, the' National Symphony Orchestra, and the CBS
.orchestra, under Howard Barlow. Next Friday's assembly is the dance
recital by Eleanor King. Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the
Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and
Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and
educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state
department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report
that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock
on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed
by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma
Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference. Mr. E. L. Lindman of
the state department told of the individual differences in children. Mrs.
Beryl Bruff of Lowell School accepted the challenge for the schools of
the state of Washington. Then followed a symposium on special service
agencies and departments which are ready to help the schools: Mr. W. H.
Dutton gave a summary of the morning session. Miss Erickson adjourned the
meeting to go to Edens Hall for luncheon. At one o'clock in the afternoon
the Workshop in Academic Problems was conducted by Miss Erickson, and
the Workshop in Problems in Vision was conducted by Miss Elizabeth Mills

Directory Board Under Construction Do you know where to find the office
of your history teacher? If a visitor asked you, could you direct him to
librarian's office or the office of the janitor? Nearly every student on
the campus has at one time been in this embarrassing predicament, where
he cannot locate a particular faculty member. For the past three years
plans have been projected for a guide which would solve the problem.
Though none of these plans ma- , terialized, a start on a "directory was
made this spring by Lorna Jean Booras and Marilyn Anderson, WW Collegian
staff members. This summer another staf member, Pat Bellingharn, is
working on this catalogue of offices. Upon completion, the directory,
which will be of wood construction, will carry the names and office
numbers of ail faculty and administrative assistants, listed
alphabetically, under department "headings. As. now planned, the
directory will be placed inside the entrance to the main building on the
left hand side of the stairway., Next Industrial Trip To Plywood Plant

WrW. {FrlSday, July 14,-!944 Western Washington Col lege of
Education, Bell irigham, Washington'; Guest oditcrliat By WALTER BAKER
Just five years ago today six gay, young graduate teachers of Western
Washington College had their lives snuffed out by one of the most terrible
catastrophes that ever befell a mountain hiking party anywhere in the
world. With no more warning than an almost inaudible swish, a portion of
Mt. Baker swooped down upon an unexpecting party of young collegiate
hikers. When the slide had completed its mission of death, a count of the
party revealed that six of its members were missing. JULIUS DORNBLUT,
ALICE JAMES, MAYNARD HOWATT, HOPE WEIT- .MAN, VENE FISHER, and BEULAH
LINDBERG did not answer roll call which was sounded off .by hike leaders,
,L. A. McGee, Chet Ullin and Don Cross. They were dead. Death is a five
letter word that means a lot. Not only does it mean just dying, but what
after that. Those six young people, climbing Mt. Baker, full of happy
thoughts, didn't want to die, but that's the way death is. You never know.
That's why out of due respect and in memory of those people, we, who are
still alive, should think more about the meaning of the word. Maybe it's
just fear that doesn't let us think too strongly on the subject. If it is
fear that does it, let it be so. For it is not a fear that deprives one of
the use of his reason, but rather o fear that clarifies the atmosphere of
the mind and sharpens the powers of reason itself. It is not fear that
causes the mind to be "sicklied" with the pale cast of thought, but rather
the mind that has become sluggish through unrestrained passion, the mind
of the person that adopts the philosophy of eat, drink and be merry, but
without the thought that tomorrow one may die. He is satisfied to know
that he is alive and well. He rarely reflects on why he is at all or on
what is the An architect's plans of a Memorial for those students who lost
their lives on the slopes of Mt. Baker five years ago are now almost
completely fulfilled. Situated on the hillside between Edens Halland the
administrative building on the Campus, this memorial lacks only the
addition of mountain shrubbery and the bronze name plates. Name placques
for the six students will be placed on the inside of the rock wall which
has been so designed as4o form a bench. Bronze, which will be used'for the
plates will not be purchased until after the war. The memorial has been
planned with the thought that students will use the memorial as a place
for lounging, sun bathing, or studying. A committee, composed of WWC
students and Miss Hazel Plympton, ultimate meaning and purpose of life *?
department, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, who was a member of The memory of
those six young people will live long in the hearts of the faculty and the
school. You just don't forget things such as that. A memorial has been
erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass
that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter
a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate
plaques as soon as the war ceases. The following is a short poem written
especially for BEULAH LINDBERG, ALICE JAMES, HOPE WEITMAN, JULIUS
DORNBLUT, VENE FISHER and MAYNARD HOWATTc The author is Charles E.
Butler. Former WWC Reference Librarian. . MEMORIAL POEM Now you will be
forever young: Nowyou will never grow old in a silence, knowing the early
music sung. For you now there will never be the slow breaking Of the
early dream, the abandoned undertaking, The fine plans forgotten and put
aside There will be none of this for you now: you were young when you
died. You will never listen now for music finished: For you the song ends
on the high note, unfaltering, undiminished. And you will be forever
climbing upward now,'the long splendid climb: Weariness can never hold you
back, nor the world, nor Time. Goodbye: • the dream endures. You
will be young forever; the heights will be .forever yours. the industrial

by the student body, and through donations. •.• Orcas Trip
Closes Term Highlighting the first term recreation program will be the

auditorium by Miss Erickson. Then followed observation of classroom
procedure in which special attention was given to individual differences
among pupils. There were nine groups of observers, each group going to a
different classroom in the Campus school. Dr. Grim conducted a tour of
the whole Campus Elementary School Building before luncheon.l The
afternoon session was a Workshop in the Problems of Hearing and a
Workshop in the Problems of Speech. The conference was adjourned at 5
o'clock. Tragic Outing Remembered Today is the fifth anniversary of the
Mt. Baker tragedy, which killed six former members of the student body
during a summer quarter hike up the steep slopes of the mountain. The
accident occurred on a Sunday morning in the month of July, The party of
25 WWC students were trudging their way along beneath the Roman Wall on
the last stage of the hike. Six of the party were swept to their death
with only two bodies being recovered. As it gathered up momentum the
avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the
group. Early reports had it that the six victims were in a group when
struck were discounted by stories of the survivors, who told of the
almost selecting nature of the disaster. The body of Alice James, then
president of Edens Hall, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy
overhang, while the body of former Collegian editor, Julius Dornblut was
discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice. ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS WELJ- UNDERWAY George Dack, WWC head gardener for WWC has
done a swell job of "blacktopping" the road, over to the PE building from
the parking lot at the side of the main building. Mealy Moves A change
of address for -Murray Healy can be noted. Moving from a member of the
coaching staff of the Everett school system, Healy has accepted a
position as head coach at Bellarmine high school, Tacoma. Healy, a '41

student. He also served as Norseman president, and Homecoming chairman.

of those people are fighting and dying, to keep alive those grand

Twedt, WARD, last week. In it she said "Last week, I had a pleasant
surprise when I accidentally ran into Lt. Ruckmick on the street near the

the first time in my life I felt no qualms about cutting a class.
Nostalgia—even after all these years. I left the Islands in
February, but expect to return in a few months. Aloha nui oe." Signed

Jun-kin (known to us as Big Jug) the other day. Jimmy is out in the
Pacific and writes us that he is really seeing action. "I have been in
several bombing raids and it is ' a very helpless feeling. The best thing
to do is hit the foxhole and stay down. The Japanese are in for a lot of
trouble in the next few months. As the news indicates we are doing all
right out here. It is impossible to defeat an outfit like the United
States Armed Forces. We have something to fight for and the enemy lacks
that one factor.' Jim's address is First Lieutenant James Junkin, USMCR,
Hdq. Co. 3rd Bn., 1st. Mar., Fleet Post Office, San Francisco,

officers in my outfit rotate between field and office work. We use men
who have been out in the fleet for editing and processing work since they
know the situation.. Two of our analysts just returned from participation
in the invasion. Obsevations such as theirs are extremely valuable in
shaping a practical and effective training program." Second Lt. Ray E.
Fullner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Fullner, Lawrence, RFD 2, Everson, has
been ^awarded the air medal and Oak Leaf Cluster for his participation in
the aerial offensive against the Japanese in the Central Pacific. Lt.

Viking then) paid a visit to his former haunts last week, noting a number
of changes about the building. "At the time 1 went to school the Viking
office was located in the science wing," he mused. Admiring the new
Collegian headquarters, Barney commented on the special office for the
Klipsun and Navigator. His eyes lit up as he reminisced about the
Bluebook, the name of the student guide book in the 20's. "One*year," he
recalled, "I obtained permission from the board of control to print a.
directory of student names, addresses and telephone numbers. -As I
remember, I had to drop this undertaking business because I was earning
too much money," ~ Barney is at: present principal of the Hawthorne
