Foreword To all into whose hands this Book may find its way,-Greetings:
With this number we present for your inspection the first number of The
Klipsun. The Staff have spared neither time nor labor in trying to get out
the best Annual that our School has ever produced, and we wish to thank
those who have jointed their efforts with ours in working toward our
ideal. If the Klipsun in any way resembles the papers which have been
published before, remember that we have tried to combine the best points
of each in this. If it meets your approval we trust that it will prove the
worthy forerunner of future Klipsuns of a larger Normal Page Twenty

AN APPRECIATION As a student body we are indeed fortunate but as Seniors
we are doubly fortunate in having for our wise counselors and advisors
Miss Frances Hays and Mr. Deerwester. As teachers they have truly taught,
and in their daily associations with the students they have been an
inspiration to us all,-our ideals are higher, our efforts are greater.
One never passes Miss Hays without feeling better for the contact; no
matter how busy or hurried, she always has time for a cheery word or a
bright smile,- those little touches of human kindness that make one see
the roses in the path. "Let us-let all the world agree, To profit by
resembling thee." Mr. Deerwester, with his indefatigable energy, has
guided us over many rugged peaks, and when we have crossed them we are met
with a smile and encouraging words, tinged with a bit of his inimitable
humor. "Dear to the learned, to the simple, dear, For daily blessing
mark'd thy virtuous year. For God had form'd thy feelings on the noblest
plan, To grace at once the teacher and the man." Page Twenty-One

Departments PHYSICS- This Department offers two years' work in Physics,
including both lecture and laboratory work. The equipment is valued at
$1200. There are about forty-eight students. ASTRONOMY- Short courses in
both descriptive and laboratory astronomy are offered. The course in
laboratory astronomy is given this year for the first time. Several new
pieces have been added to the equipment, among them a globe and two hundred
lantern slides. CHEMISTRY AND PHOTOGRAPHY- The plan of work in this
department is made up of minimum of lecture work combined with a great
deal of laboratory work. The laboratory is large and well equipped. The
course in photography is practical work in camera experiments and a series
of pictures to illustrate them is required of each student. AGRICULTURE-
A study is made of soil, plants and fruit growing; also domestic animals,
dairying and poultry raising. In the past some practice has been given in
plant propagation by budding and grafting. In connection with poultry
raising, lectures are given on hatching, brooding, feeding and housing of
poultry. BIOLOGY- A full year of High School botany is offered; also
courses in economic and systematic botany and plant anatomy. Field
excursions and lectures illustrated by lantern slides are interesting and
instructive features of the work. A year's work in zoology, also is given.
This course is a series of lectures upon the important theories of
biology, combined with field work. The second semester is given to the
study of comparative anatomy. MATHEMATICS- Instruction in this department
is in the hands of three teachers. The work includes High School and two
years of College mathematics. About three hundred students have been
enrolled during the year. HISTORY- English history, Modern History,
Nineteenth Century History, American History, Civics, Political Economy
and State Manual are the subjects offered, also a half year's course in
methods of teaching History. Notebooks are required in nearly every case,
together with five or six hundred pages of outside reading matter. For
Political Economy an essay of three thousand words upon some topics of
economic interest is required. LA TIN AND GERMAN- The course in Latin
includes four and a half years of Latin and one-half year of methods of
teaching the subject. Three years of German, which is the only modern
language taught, are offered. Credit is given for ability to read and
write Swedish or Norwegian. HOME ECONOMICS- This department, which
includes instructions in cooki;ng and sewing, was opened in September,
1908, with an enrollment of ninety- Page Twenty-Four
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 25
----------
four. The work is now carried on by two teachers and the enrollment has
increased to one hundred and eighty-nine, besides the girls of the Eighth
Grade. The work in cooking includes the buying, cooking and serving of
foods, also the preparation of lunches for rural schools. The sewing
classes are taught how to cut out, fit and make garments properly.
DRAWING AND MANUAL TRAINING-- This work is under the direction of two
teachers and has a very large enrollment. The drawing work given includes
simple object drawing and work in water colors, also perspective and
advanced color work and methods of teaching drawing. In the hand work,
clay modeling, basketry, metal work and wood carving are taught. ENGLISH-
Many different lines of work are offered in the English Department.
Thorough courses in grammar and composition are given as well as English
methods for both grade and High School work. Instruction is given in the
History of English Literature and a number of the classics are studied. In
the Senior year, a semester is devoted to the study of Browning. ORAL
EXPRESSION- This course is in the hands of two very competent teachers.
Besides the regular Class work this department has charge of the training
in debating, declamation and giving plays. Selections from the best
literature, especially for grade work, are typewritten and sent out to
schools to arouse interest in this work. It is probable that a course in
practical public speaking will be offered next year. PSYCHOLOGY AND
EDUCATION- A year's work in psychology, semester courses in the History
and Philosophy of Education as well as method work are offered in this
department. There are classes in Observation, Methods of Teaching in the
Rural Schools, Child Study, and School Supervision. Beginning with summer
school, there will be a special instructor for rural school work.
PHYSICAL TRAINING- This work is in charge of two instructors, one for
girls and one for men. Gymnasium work is required of all students except
the Seniors, who are required to take a course in Physical Culture Methods
and Plays and Games. All athletics are in charge of this department.
MUSIC- Instruction is given in methods of teaching music and also in
ad-vanced sight reading. A course in the History of Music is given, which
includes the study of ancient music and primitive instruments, and traces
the development of music up to the present time. A study of the lives of
great composers is also made. A special course of one year is given for
students wishing to become music supervisors. WOODWORK AND PRINTING--
This department is new this year, but is proving very popular with
students. The course in woodwork includes a general study of woods found
in this region and practical work in the care and use of tools; also
design, construction and wood finishing. The work in printing Page
Twenty-Five
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 26
----------
includes instruction in setting type, making forms, and operating a small
job press. TRAINING DEPARTMENT-- This department includes the first eight
grades and two years of High School work. The whole department is in
charge of a competent superintendent and eight supervisors. One hundred
eighty-five student teachers are working in the training department. Hand
work, sewing, drawing and cooking are supervised by the Normal instructor
having charge of that work. At present the enrollment numbers over five
hundred children. TEACHING STAFF-- The Faculty now numbers thirty-five,
graduates of some of the best educational institutions in the United
States and well equipped to direct the work of the School. ATHLETICS--
Keener interest is being shown in athletics than has ever been seen at the
Normal before. Football, basketball, baseball, and track are the chief
sports. No student is allowed to play unless his School work is good.
ORGANIZATIONS- The Students' Association assumes the general management of
The Messenger, school athletics, and provides school supplies and text
books practically at cost to the students. Officers are elected yearly,
and the dues are fifty cents a semester. Besides the literary and musical
societies each Class is a separate organization, elects officers each
semester and carries on the business of the Class. The Y. W. C. A. adds
much both to the social and spirit-ual life of the girls. + + HISTORY OF
THE BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The Legislature of 1893 passed an act
to establish a Normal School here and appropriated $40,000 for that
purpose but stipulated that the site should be given. Two land companies
gave five acres each, making a total of approximately ten acres and the
school was built on the dividing line between what were then the two
cities of Fairhaven and WVhatcom. Although the appropriation of $40,000
was granted by the Legislature of 1893, in 1895 Governor Rogers vetoed a
bill for it maintenance, and it was not until September 6, 1899, that the
school was organized. The Faculty at that time consisted of six members,
but the number was increased to nine before the close of the year. The
building at that time was what is now the main part of the school. The
attendance in 1899-1900 was 264 in the Normal Department, and 80 in the
Training School. May 1, 1913, the Faculty was composed of 35 members;
there were 479 students enrolled in the Normal Department and over 500 in
the Training School. The Training School Annex was added to the building
in 1901 and the Science Annex in 1907. Edens Hall, the girls' dormitory,
was enlarged to its present capacity in 1907. The tangible property of the
School at the present time is valued at $305,551. Page Twenty-six

EVENING ON THE BAY. Another bright and lovely day is almost past; The
brightness of the noontide 'gins to fade away, The cool of evening bloweth
gently past Laden with the blossom scent of May. The great sun hangs
suspended 'tween the ocean and the sky, While the genii of the evening
their gorgeous colors ply. Golden, red and purple in many a varied hue,
Their colors lend to the great sea's bend, They touch the hills and tint
the clouds and.fade in heaven's blue Till the sky above and the sea
beneath are lost in one great blend. And then to the north we look away
On the cold white tops where the colors play. When the great, bright sun
is sinking in the West, His nether rim is bathed in ocean foam, Then each
small thing doth seek his cozy nest, And the thoughts of man are turned
toward home. Then the colors on the evening sky Like Autmn leaves, they
fade and die. As a great white swan the day floats down the stream of
time, And, like the swan, her life is sweetest at the last. Her sad
farewell is vesper's lonely chime Tells us night is near, the bright and
lovely day is past. The time has come which Man and Nature loveth best.
In the shifting of the shadow, in the falling of the light, Is the promise
of the Maker and the handiwork of God; And His great and wondrous mercy in
the coming of the night In which we rest a moment from our weary journey's
plod. They came, the words so sweet and clear, "'Tis good for us to have
been here." LEILA PARSONS. Page Twntv-PTight

.................MARJORIE ARTHUR Secretary ....................MINNIE
CARVER Treasurer ...................LOLAH SMITH CLASS HISTORY. September
fifth dawned bright and glorious. Early in the morning the newcomers began
wending their way to the Normal, desirous of finding what pleasures (?)
were in store for them. The Juniors were sent to Mr. Epley, where they
faced the problem of earning the greatest number of credits with the least
amount of effort. After much weary time spent in juggling hours under the
direction of a few Seniors, we were at last assigned to classes. In due
time the report was made that the Junior Class of 1912 had the honor of
being the largest class ever enrolled in the Normal. The Junior Class was
organized with Mr. Rogers, President; Miss Nelson, Secretary; and Mr.
Epley and Miss Hogle Class Teachers. After the many tears of homesickness
were dried everyone entered whole- heartedly into the enjoyment of his
surroundings. Many were the good times we had on our picnics and at
parties. We even indulged in Class scraps occasionally, but only
good-humoredly. At the beginning of the second semester new officers were
selected as follows: Herman Merritt, President; Verna Boyd,
Vice-President, and Gertrude Davidson, Secretary and Treasurer. The
Juniors were prominent in all school activities. Their reception to the
School was a decided success. The Junior girls did not for- Page
Thirty-Three
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 34
----------
get basketball, and after many hard games, succeeded in capturing the
Kline Cup. May twelfth was the important day on which the Juniors
presented the Class play, "Mr. Bob." There was an excellent caste of
characters to entertain the enthusiastic audience. The close of the year
was now approaching. The Juniors entertained the members of the Senior
Class of 1912 by a picnic to Vendova Island. On Class day the Juniors took
part in the exercises of the Seniors and in the evening all met in the
drawing room, where many met for the last time. On returning to school in
September, 1913, the Seniors found many new faces. Those who were in the
Class during 1912 missed many of their old friends, but many other jolly
Seniors came to take their places. Being familiar with school routine it
was not long before we were toiling over the deep subjects of Philosophy
and Sociology. The Senior Class met and elected the following officers for
the first semester: Lucetta McKechnie, President; Marjorie Arthur,
Vice-President; Mabel Brown, Secretary; and Mr. Helm, Treasurer. We were
also fortunate enough to have Mr. Deerwester and Miss Hays appointed as
Class teachers. The first social affair given by the Seniors was the
reception given to the school. It was held in Society Hall, which was
elaborately decorated in the Class Colors, Olive Green and Gold. A program
of music and readings was given after which everyone enjoyed a good time
and refreshments were served. Later, the Senior Class was divided into
three groups, each one to have charge of one social event for the
entertainment of the Seniors. Group One gave the Senior Circus, which
proved very amusing and entertaining. Group Two gave a reception at the P.
L. F. club-house, in honor of the Mid-Year Graduating Class. The reception
was well planned and very successful. Group Three had charge of the
picnic to Ravenswood, whither they were invited through the courtesy of
the Misses Carver and De Haven; but the weather man got his orders mixed
and the picnic had to be given up, much to our regret. At the beginning of
the second semester, new officers were elected, as follows: Mr. Hevly,
President; Miss Arthur, Vice-President; Miss Carver, Secretary; and Miss
Smith, Treasurer. Mr. Hevly was compelled to leave school because of
illness and Miss Arthur has been acting as Class President. One of the
most successful entertainments given at the Normal during 1913, was the
Senior Vaudeville, on May 3. Every number was well given and the audience
was in a gale of merriment all evening. The play presented by the Senior
Class of '13, undei the direction of Miss Hays, was well rendered. It
required much hard work on the part of the caste and they deserve much
credit for the way in which they handled their respective parts. The last
social function of the Senior Class occurred on June 3, 1913, which was
Class day. In the morning of that day the Seniors partook of a breakfast
in Miss Lawrence's department. The campus was decorated and in the
afternoon the regular ceremonies of laying the stone and planting ivy
occurred. This was followed by charades and games on the campus. In the
evening of that memorable day all of our carefully treasured plans and
notebooks were consigned to the flames of the annual bonfire. Our final
appearance was made on the morning of June 5, when we received the
long-coveted diplomas, so dear to each of us. ALICE DUNLOP. CRETE TOPPING

Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirteen. SENIOR CLASS OF 1913. +
+ SENIOR VAUDEVILLE. On the evening of May 3, the Seniors covered
themselves with glory. From the time the curtain went up for the first act
until the close, the auditorium resounded with the applause and laughter
of the audience. The "Weaver's Dance" was a very artistic example of the
folk dance. One of the most popular features was the work of "Sam" Carver
and Ed. Nattrass on the parallel bars. Every move was enjoyed immensely.
Misses Davis, Wall and Crawshaw made quite a hit with their original act,
"Do It!" What could have been prettier or daintier than the "Dance of the
Nippon," by girls in Japanese costume? The forming of the figure thirteen
was certainly well done. One of the strongest hits of the evening was the
"Rose Dance," by Elizabeth Gaasland, soloist, and six chorus girls. It was
certainly the "pink" of perfection. The encore in which Dan Hall appeared
was -very much appreciated by the audience. The "Movies" surely deserve
mention. They were designed by Misses Lucetta MacKechnie and Minnie Carver,
and showed considerable originality in the line of "take- offs" on the
Faculty and students. "The Heavenly Twins" gave an entertaining recital of
their woes, set to music. They were appropriately dressed as became
children of their age. Everyone enjoyed Mrs. Deerwester as Madame
Tritosyng. "The Butterfly Dance," by Isabella Williams was so artistic and
pleasing with the colored lights that it was enthusiastically encored.
Last but not least came the "Minstrels." The end men and end girls were
cleverly gotten up and the jokes afforded abundarit amusement. Mr. Dan
Hall in a couple of song hits was well liked. Wilbur Anderson made a hit
with "Pick, Pick, On Your Mandolin." "The Tom Cat Song," by Elizabeth
Gaasland was quite taking. The music furnished by the principals was above
criticism and the variety of catchy, popular songs was much enjoyed by
all. Much credit is due to Wallace Sutherland for his untiring coaching of
this act. Page Thirty-Seven

FUTUREOSCOPE. (Being a few pages from the correspondence of Grace Hardin
and.Min-nie Carver in the year 1923.) BELLINGHAM, Washington, August 23,
1923. DEAR MINNIE: That most excruciatingly amusing letter of yours was
awaiting me when I arrived at my office this morning. Now don't let those
superfluous adjectives offend your delicate pedagogical sensibility. They
are necessary to express the exact state of my emotions when I read the
account of those heart-rending (?) experiences you have been having with
your mathematics students. Seriously, however, I am quite sure that your
new method of teaching algebra by applying it to the dining room menu will
prove extremely popular, especially to that section of your followers whose
proverbial hearts are most easily reached through their esophagi. You will
observe from the heading of this epistle that I am writing on the 23d day
of the month, 1923. Now, if I were in the least superstitious, I should
hesitate to even begin a letter that would have to bear a date like that,
but hoodoo numbers have had no terrors for me since the year 1913, when we
graduated from dear old B. S. N. S. with that Class that came out so
famously, in spite of the dire forebodings of evil that it inherited from
tradition. That reminds me of the dream I had last night. I must tell you
about it. I dreamed that I was back in Philosophy Class and that Prof.
Deerwester, in his usual gentle and patient manner, was doing his utmost
to make it clear to us that "ontogeny recapitulates the phylogeny of the
'race,' " while we sat there demurely and innocently eating peanuts. Now
what in the world do you suppose made me dream a thing like that. I can
only account for it in one way: the past week has been Marathon week! Does
that give you a clue? It has been the grandest event of modern times,
because it marked the completion of that macadamized road from Bellingham
to Mt. Baker, an enterprise that could not have been a success had it not
been for the energetic efforts of that peerless leader, Mr. William
Tucker, whose long experience in the Polar regions,-and at the
Normal--gave him the inspiration for his great achievement. He has made
our city the cynosure of all eyes. It seems to me that everybody and his
dog has been here;-not figuratively, but literally. Do you know, I'll
never forgive Ethel Anderson for introducing that dog fad into America.
She might have known that everyone would follow her example. While it may
be all right for one in her social position to go down the street towing
five or six handsome collies with as many sky blue ribbons, it gets on
one's nerves to see so many other people trying to do likewise in order to
keep up with the fashion. Now, if she had followed Sarah Moen's example
and founded an asylum for weather-beaten cats, I am sure humanity would
have profited a great deal more. I can't begin to tell you how many of
the old familiar faces I have seen during this celebration. They have come
from all corners of the earth. Even Lady Luzelle C. Hyeborough was moved
to give up her last series of bridge parties and travel all the way from
England to attend the opening, so you can see that there must have been
considerable attraction here. The governor (or "ess" I should say, for
Tacy insists that Governoress Clarke is her proper title), was here and
delivered an address. She has the most charming husband--iron gray hair
and such eyes ! Page Thirty-Eight
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 39
----------
They say he presides over the Governor's mansion very gracefully. The
grand military ball was the most remarkable feature of our preliminary
affairs. The grand march was led by Miss Myrtle Kennedy and Admiral Daniel
Hall of the U. S. N. Some one invented a new dance especially for this
occasion. It seems to be a combination of the bunny-hug, turkey-trot,
waltz, three-step and barn dance, with just a suggestion of ragging. They
say that Grace MacKechnie is responsible for it, but I could not vouch for
that. Anyway it shows off the gowns to perfection. You should have seen
the Spenger girls and Lily Morrison, with their multi-millionaire
husbands. Such jewels! "Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like
one of these." Myrtle Fisher surprised everyone by appearing in the much
discussed Oriental gown that was designed in Seattle by Edith Anderson and
adopted by nearly all the dress reform leaders in that city. Of course
the Marathon was the climax of the entire celelration, but even that was
not as interesting as the cartoons of the contestants, which were drawn by
L. Mack. They were the main attraction, in my estimation. Everyone says
that Lucetta is the cleverest cartoonist on the market. There is no doubt
about it. The only thing that in any way marred the general harmony of
our week's festival was the deplorable accident which happened on the last
day, when Nellie Cropper and her new Watkins' Torpedo car collided with a
stage, and several people were injured, including Miss Engle, reporter for
the Times. She had a front tooth dislocated. Fortunately Dr. Marion
Johnson, dentist, was in the crowd and the trouble was soon remedied.
These stars indicate an interruption. I have so many of them daring
thildaey . it was only Earl Gibb again. He has been fairly haunting this
building for a week, trying to talk me into having my picture enlarged,
but has not succeeded so far. Speaking of agents, yesterday Anna Brown
called and wanted to sell me a copy of MeCully's Complete United States,
History, but when she found that I already had one, she directed her
energies toward extolling the praises of "Barry's New Cyclopedia of Cute
and Catchy Phrases." And day before yesterday Blanche Gawley was here
taking orders for her new invention, a patent automatic combination
dishwasher and flapjack griddle. I took one to use on my next camping
trip. These are dreadfully busy times. I have another interesting case on
hand in court. Happy Williams and Helen Stevens have brought suit against
Susie Depew and her botany pupils for trespassing on their golf links and
wantonly and unlawfully destroying the shrubbery. Philip Hogan is attorney
for the defense, and I have been retained by the plaintiffs. I expect some
interesting developments. ! !v?x ! ! ! ? There goes my wireless. Excuse me
for a moment while I answer it.- It was Mary Ossewaarde, dear Malry, who
puzzles all the world; who has so many suitors and yet refuses to
condescend to change her name. She wants me to come up to dinner this
evening. She is going to entertain in honor of Ruth Sears, who has pust
returned from Central Africa, where she has spent the past two years
introducing domestic science and dressmaking among the natives of the
Congo. Of course I'll accept Mary's invitation. She also said something
about a theatre party afterwards. Grace Barnes is going to play tonight at
the Gaasland Theatre in Rhea Barnard's latest success, "The Honeymoon."
Grace always was fond of those sentimental things, you know. and Page

since she has become so famous she seems to have molded the public into
her cast of thought also. Speaking of the opera reminds me of my new hat.
dream, It is a perfect especially in the matter of color blending, and is
decidedly exclusive in style for it bears the B. K. trade mark. That means
that it is a Blanche Knight model, which you know represents the very last
word in the designer's art, although Blanche herself retired from the
business long ago to enter a more romantic realm. The afternoon mail just
came in and I notice among my letters a circular from Miss Fatland, of the
Normal Faculty, advising me by all means not to miss the lecture course
this year, as there are to be several fine numbers, including Hazel De
Haven's lecture on "How Man Has Profited by Universal Suffrage," and
Dunlop, McKay and Carter's troupe of singers. I also have heard that
Louise Atchison will return from her Arctic missionary trip this fall and
will give her moving picture display at the Normal. I have another letter
from an old friend. Caroline Halsey, Secretary of the National Y. W. C. A.,
wishes me to subscribe something for their new project, the Uniform Dress
for Women movement. I understand that Virginia Ashby is delivering a series
of addresses against this pro-ject, and it is to counteract her influence
that Caroline is working so indefatigably. I ran across Belva Waters the
other day in the public library. She has been traveling for an entire
year, visiting schools in various parts of the world for the purpose of
making a comparative study of disciplinary methods. She told me some very
interesting things about people that you and I used to know. She said that
Maude Jamieson was teaching osteopathy in a California school, and that
Anna Tromp had worked out a psychological test for backward children, that
promises to rival even the Binet system. Marjorie Arthur and Lois Te
Roller, she said, had both married college presidents. On her Pacific trip
she had as a fellow passenger Lola Glee Smith, who was traveling for a
collection agency, and, when she arrived in Honolulu, whom did she come
face to face with but Ethel Scheidemantel, police matron in that city. I
forgot to tell you that I have moved. Am now in the new Davis and Wall bank
building, right across the street from the Manford Anderson Undertaking
arlors, and next door to Stoddard and Landen's Hairdressing establishment.
From my window I can look across into Grace Collins' Needlecraft Shop in
the next building, and watch the fashionable crowds that come to purchase
her dainty wares. This, together with the trills and thrills that escape
down the elevator shaft from the Egbert School of Music on the top floor,
serves somewhat to break the monotony of this twenty-one story city
existence. I shall probably be in Chicago for a few days this fall on
business and if so will run out to the University to see you. I am rather
uncer- tain at present as to how I shall travel. May come by rail, for the
biplanes are so uncertain, especially since Wally Sutherland and his
Amalgamated Ozone Travel Company gained control of all the air lines in
America, hot and otherwise. Gracious! My watch says five o'clock. If I am
going to take dinner with Mary I shall have to hurry some, so please
consider this installment closed. The narrative will be continued in the
next issue. Do write soon and be sure and tell me how your brother's
swimming school is getting along. You didn't say a word about it last
time. Give my best regards to Bessie Taylor and Irene Schacht, and all the
other Chicago friends, and don't let them play any more pranks on the
poor, suffering professors. Yours in hasty retreat, GRACE HARDIN. Page

Charlotte-a woman's leader! Lofty mind--no suffrage squealer! But her
lovely grace and smile Would you cage them all the while? These two

ahead a handsome face Dispelled our Tace to have a case. "A noble face!
chin square! mouth firm! A man! and silver greyed side-burn! A collar of
the latest kind!" The stunner of all Tace's find. They left the church
without ado To see where Charming Prince went to. Alas! Poor Tacey! Fate
is cruel! To dark the sky and prospects too. All day she raved about this

She Bim! She Bim, Boom, Bah! Juniors! Juniors! Rah! Rah! Rah! If you
let your memory travel back about nine months you will recall when we
first entered the Class of 1914. We entered the Normal School with a
feeling akin to that which we had when we were little green Freshmen in
our home High School. Our vim and spirit soon came to the surface and we
were working together like Trojans. Our first venture in the social line
was during the football season, when we entertained the Everett High
School boys. It was the most unique affair of the season, carrying out the
idea of a football game throughout. Next in line came our character
party, given in Society Hall. The air fairly breathed of Colonial days,
college spirit and loved characters of literature. We almost lived the
days over when we wore blouses and pinafores. On the afternoon of March
14, you could have heard a bustle and stir in the regions of the Music
room. If you had inquired the cause of Page Seventy-Three
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 74
----------
this extra energy you would have found out it was simply a preliminary to
the Junior reception. It was a grand success from beginning to end. A most
enjoyable program was given in the Auditorium the first part of the
evening. After the program we adjourned to the Music room where the
reception took place. Several members of the Faculty stood in the
receiving line and assisted us in giving our colleagues and honored
guests, the Seniors, a hearty welcome. The rooms were decorated very
effectively with pennants and with fluted crepe paper in both the Junior
and Senior colors, cardinal and gray and green and yellow. The Normal
colors, blue and white, carried out the color scheme in the hall. The
potted plants and palms and cut flowers put the finishing touches to an
already beautiful arrangement and made us think of the joys and beauties
of the Springtime. During the evening we were greatly favored with musical
selections by Mrs. Deerwester, Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Trimble. Of course
we have not forgotten the Junior Jubilee which was given at the Aftermath
Club House, and the jolly time we had. It was given in honor of our girls'
champion basketball team. We are now all looking forward to our picnic on
Cypress Island. We will charter a boat in the near future and make a day
of it and we expect one jolly good time. One of the events of the year
will be our Class plays, which will be given the latter part of May. The
plays we decided upon are "An Interrupted Proposal," by Arlo Bates, and
"How the Vote Was Won," by Cicely Hamilton. "HOW THE VOTE WAS WON."

you seen? The Juniors! Classy bunch and pretty keen, Ne'er losers! In a
game or team They're hard to beat, you can see.. I'm glad to be, I'm
glad to be, I'm glad to be, A member of this great and noble multitude;
Let me tell you the reason is because, CHORUS You can't surpass The
Junior Class, For its stands without an equal; It's the liveliest crowd
in all the land And the way it does surely beats the band. Our colors
gay, Cardinal and Gray, We'll stand by them With gallant daring. So with
one good rousing cheer we'll end: J--- U-N---, we don't know how to spell
it! But crix-crax, crix-crax, Juniors, Juniors, Crackerjacks! Page

Psalm of the Student Teacher's Life Tell me not in mournful numbers,
"Lesson plans are but a dream!" For they keep us from our slumbers And
"See Me's" are not what they seem. Plans are real and plans are irksome,
And the Critic's desk their goal; "You will flunk if you don't work some,"
Does not comfort one's poor soul. Not enjoyment and not pleasure, Is the
student teacher's way; But to teach that she may treasure On her credit
slip an A. School is long, the pupils fretful, And tho' we plot and plan
and ponder, How to make them less forgetful, Still their thoughts astray
will wander. In the schoolroom's field of battle, Before the Supervisor's
eyes, Don't try to bluff with senseless prattle, Be pedagogical and
wise. Lives of Critics all remind us We can mend our many faults, And
departing leave behind us Records in that fire-proof vault; Records that
future committees, When they're asked to recommend, Wondering what to say
about us, Finding shall take heart again. Let us then be up and training,
With a heart for calling down, Still expounding, still explaining, Learn
to face the Critic's frown. -- G. H., '13. Page Seventy-Six

-F-O--M -O-R-E Normal Sophomores are we. We can work and we can grin, We
are the Class that is going to win, Razzle, dazzle, zis, boom, rezz, We
are the Sophs of the B. N. S. Although the Sophomore Class is small, still
it is large enough for our members to have the best of times at social
functions of our own. We proved this at the party given by Elizabeth Eggers
last fall. No large class could have been entertained at a private home in
that way and had as glorious a time as we had. Then February fifteenth we
gave a valentine party for the Freshman Class, and we are sure that the
Freshies can vouch for the good time they had. Thanks to Miss Jensen's
untiring zeal the party was a perfect success. Still a small class has
its drawbacks. Only six or seven girls turned out for basketball practice,
Brown, Breum, Eggers, Westerlund, Ericson, and Pickens, and as we were
unfortunate enough to get Friday Page Seventy-Nine
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 80
----------
night, which is proverbially an unlucky night, for practice, when several
of the girls had to be out of town, the result was that the team did not
come up to the standard. As Edith Brown sprained her ankle twice while
practicing, two new girls, Belle Sturgill and Alma Moe, played in the
final games. But never mind, next year we will be Juniors, and we hope to
win prestige in that Class. At least we know that Elizabeth Eggers will
star in the Junior team, for when she takes a notion to sit on the ball
nobody will dare to take it away from her. The Sophomores are a
wide-a-wake Class. Perhaps if we did not say this ourselves nobody else
would, but there is hardly a member that does not belong to some
organization or other in school and many hold positions of prominence.
There is Lew Greene; besides being our own chief executive, he is also
Vice-President of the "Students' Association" and President of the
Philomathean Society. Marie Reese is the Secretary of the latter
organization and other members that belong are: Miss Jensen, Miss
Westerlund, Miss Brown, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Owen and Mr. King. Anna Breum,
Blanche Barrett and Alma Moe belong to the Alkisiah Club; Mr. Sloane to
the Thespians; Hazel Baker to the H. L. S. In the late Declamation
Contest Lew Greene and Jean Hinds took part, and although they did not
carry off any laurels, we love them all the same. Many of the members
have shown their loyalty for the Class, although they really belong to the
upper classes. Miss Westerlund became a Senior last semester and the
Misses Brown, Breum and Hinds are Juniors. We thank those young ladies for
staying with us and helping to make this year a successful one. ~L 9

great deal of life and class spirit during the school year. Despite the
fact that the Class is composed mostly of special students we have done a
great deal in a social way. We have held in all three parties: Our Class
Acquaintance party, a party to the Freshmen and their friends, and a
conciliation party given to the Freshman and Sophomore teams on the night
of the game The Sophomore Class held a "Saint Valentine's" party in honor
of the Freshman Class the fifteenth of February, which was enjoyed by
thirty- four Freshmen. Cupid games wer ethe events of the evening. At
present we are planning a launch party to be given in honor of the
Sophomores, and to be held in the near future. From these events you will
perceive that the year has been a most eventful and pleasant one for all
Freshmen, and I am sure the Class of '16 will look back to their Freshman
year with only pleasant memories. 'Twas a morning in sunny September When
we entered the Normal school, They quizzed us and gave us a program, Some
class to these programs, I ween, For they grouped all the live ones
together And labeled them "Freshmen '16."-I. B. S., '16. Page

MOTTO-"Try not, or accomplish." Since the organization of the High School
four years ago, our Class has had a steady increase both in numbers and
that quality known as ability. At the beginning of the school year
1911-12, our enrollment was seventeen; we now county forty-two at our
Class meetings. Last year we ventured to present our first play. It was so
successful that we have decided to put on a better one this year. It will
be given May 16. The cast of characters is unusually strong and we fully
expect to give something that compares favorably with the productions of
the Normal classes proper. Watch the date, May 16, and be sure not to have
some other engagement that interferes with your support of this, the best
play presented in the Normal this year. We near the completion of the
Tenth Grade with genuine regret. Since there is no Eleventh Grade in the
Training School, we are soon to sever relations with the Normal High. We
hope our successors will steadily continue to advance the interests and
uphold the good name of the Normal High School. Some one has said of
them, "Now, we may notice China; but after a while we must." May we
suggest, "Now, you may notice the Tenth Grade, but after a while you
must"? Page Eighty-Five

During the year the Ninth Grade has shown that age is not the only thing
that counts. While we can easily show a lower average of years, both in
respect to age and time spent in school, we are not making this an excuse
for inactivity. We have furnished our share of the Normal High Basketball
team. This team was beaten in but one contest during the season and on that
occasion so frightened their opponents that they refused to allow us a
return game. We are represented on the Normal baseball team and expect to
make our influence felt there too. A year ago this spring we won first
place in the Chuckanut Marathon and our showing this spring will be
equally good. We are not staking our reputation wholly upon our athletic
record. In the Class room, the literary society, the
laboratory,-everywhere-our work is the very best we can make it. Who
gives the best recitations? Who always knows the answer to every question?
Who solves all the hard problems? The Ninth Grade, to be sure. Only by
consistent effort and continued reliance upon hard work can we maintain
this position. Look out for the Ninth Grade,- we are bound to let you know
we are in the institution. Page Eighty-Seven

Y.W.C.A. This year the Young Women's Christian Association of the Normal
School passed the goal of two hundred members. The Chairman of the
Membership Committee was a hustler and she, with her committee, made a
complete canvass of the School. As a result wc have had two hundred seven
members during the year. The work of the Association girls began even
before school opened. Some of them arrived two days in advance and were
busy every minute. Do you remember the first day you came to Bellingham?
Those were Y. W. C. A. girls that met you at the train and helped you
safely through the first of the "five formal steps" in your Normal lesson
plan-the step into Miss Gray's office. The next pleasure the Association
girls had was the delivering of bouquets to all the new girls. Many a
homesick girl was cheered by this little remembrance. The devotional
meetings of the year began with a vesper service the first Sunday
afternoon. They were held regularly during the year at 4:10 on Thursdays.
The girls who have attended most of these meetings tell of the inspiration
and help they received. We have had many interesting speakers, among whom
were Dr. and Mrs. Mylrae, Miss Fox, Miss Hillis, Mrs. Jones, Miss Fuller,
Miss Tingley and Dr. Gordon, besides members of the Faculty. Then the
meetings conducted by the girls were so good! One we all enjoyed was the
conference meeting in charge of the three cabinet girls who were at
Gearhart last summer. I'm sure many of us felt after hearing their talks
that we wanted to go next time. During November the World's Week of
Prayer for Missions was conducted under auspices of the Missionary Chairman
Period. Miss Hawthorne, of Tacoma, gave the closing address and her talk
on the mountain people of the South will long be remembered by those who
heard it. One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the year was the
membership banquet, at Edens Hall, Nov. 22. Miss Abbie Johnson, formerly
a President of our association, made a charming toastmistress. Miss
Worden's poem delighted us all. The allusion to the "Five Formal Steps"
used in the opening paragraph of this article was borrowed from Miss De
Long's toast. Especially interesting to the girls present who had been in
the Bellingham Normal for more than one year was Miss Wilson's "Memories"
of former association girls. In February we held our Sixth Annual Bible
Institute. We were fortunate this year in having four splendid Bible
teachers with us: Mrs. Staat, for many years a worker in the China Inland
Mission; Mrs. C. H. Black, of Seattle; Mrs. Beattie of Bellingham; and one
who has come Page Ninety
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 91
----------
to be an absolute necessity to our institute, Mrs. J. A. Campbell, of
Seattle. Mrs. Campbell's lessons on the Book of Revelations were
enthusiastically attended. The power of prayer was deeply impressed upon
our hearts by the testimony of the lives of these noble women. Mrs. Staat
told us how the work of the China Inland Mission is supported entirely by
prayer. ELECTED OFFICERS President ....................................

LENHERR One of the very successful departments of the Association this
year has been the Cafeteria. It has furnished a nutritious and appetizing
lunch to the members of the school and at the same time has provided for
the finances of the Association. Under the supervision of Miss Lawrence
and a competent Chairman of this committe have received helpful training.
This is proved by the fact that the new Chairman has been a member of the
Cafeteria Committee all year and now is well able to carry on the work of
the cafeteria. Besides planning the Bible Institute mentioned above, the
Bible Study Committee have organized thirteen Bible classes during the
year. These have been taught by Faculty members or by Bible teachers
living near the Normal. John's Gospel, the Life of Christ, Life and
Epistles of Paul, and the Old Testament have been the topics of study. The
Publicity Committee has done good work this year. Besides providing
posters for the meetings they have carried on correspondence with a number
of the Normal Schools and Colleges of the Northwest. One of the Thursday
meetings was devoted to the messages from other schools and from these
letters we got an idea of the work of the Y. W. C. A. in our sister
schools. The Cabinet Conference was held in Tacoma this spring and as a
number of the Cabinet could not attend, the retiring President, with Miss
Sperry's aid, planned a one-day conference to be held in the Normal
School. On April 15th, at nine o'clock, the program began with a Bible
lesson. The Secretary of the city Y. W. C. A. gave us a survey of the
National work. This was followed by a discussion of the work of the
departments of our Association. At noon a luncheon was served to all
attending, at the close of which toasts on the Summer conference were
given. The meeting was well attended and was voted a great success. We
feel that we have been indeed fortunate this year in having for our
President, Miss Scheidemantel. She has shown herself very capable in
managing the executive affairs of a society and untiring in devotion to
the work of the Master. She, with a most helpful advisory Board, has been
able to make the work of the Association a real joy. Page Ninety-One

Alkisiah The Club work started in September with five or six members from
the preceding year but with as many more older ones. These latter added
much to the power of the Club by bringing back new ideas. The task of
filling the Club membership was pushed steadily on until the roll was
full. There has been no attempt to take up any certain line of study this
year as has been the custom of previous years. However, we have had
several programs of sociological interest. Among these were "Pure Food,"
"The Strikes," in which the present "Shirt Waist Strike" was discussed,
and the talks given at our open meeting on "Mothers' Pensions," "Juvenile
Courts" and "Prison Reforms." Although we had several other heavy
programs, our work has given much pleasure and many enjoyable evenings.
Among our lighter programs was "Vacation Rambles." We will always remember
the trials and funny stories as described by Misses Lucetta MacKechnie,
Hogle and Dawson. Another evening we followed Mrs. Ella Higginson in her
trip through "Alaska." Our "February Program" initiated us into the
secrets of some great men and women, among whom were Longfellow, Lowell,
Washington, Lincoln and Susan B. Anthony. We always enjoy Miss Baker's
talks and her report on Miss Anthony's life that evening left a lasting
impression. Our musical program was assisted very materially by the
Victor machine. Every year the Underclassmen of the Society entertains the
Senior members at a banquet. This year that most enjoyable affair took
place April 24th. After the more material side the rest of the evening was
spent in toasts and songs. We recommend Clarice Henry to anyone needing a
capable and charming toastmistress in the future. One year the Club took
up the study of the legends of the Holy Grail. As a result the Club
possesses a Copley print of "The Oath of Knighthood," one of Abbey's mural
paintings, illustrating the Holy Page Ninety-Three
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 94

Grail. The Bulb Sale which took place in December, 1912, was for the
purpose of raising enough money to frame this picture. It will be hung in
the building temporarily awaiting an "Alkasiah Room," which latter we hope
may be realized at an early date. Not the least part of the work of the
second semester was the ful-filling of our promise to the Students'
Association last year; namely, the Alkisiah pennant. Through the
influence of our President, Minnie Carver, we obtained permission to enjoy
a Saturday and Sunday at Ravenswood Camp, at Lake Whatcom. Once more,
upon this occasion, we were thankful that our membership is limited to
girls. Weenies, baked potatoes, coffee and accessories disappear rapidly
at such a time, as you all know. The long tramps and the night spent in
the open brought all back with fresh minds and bodies. Miss Baker, of
course, was chaperon. It is, indeed, owing to our second semester
officers, that the business of the Club has been so well finished. They

highest of all arts is the art of expression; true expression of the soul
in its varying moods. This may be expressed through music, but best
through that most perfect music, the music of the human voice, and through
the greatest charm, the charm of personality. This is the aim of the
Thespian Dramatic Club. The Club was formed at the opening of the school
year, and besides purely dramatic work, it has included in its study,
music, essays and the lives and art of the present day actors and
actresses. On February 28th the Club presented its first public program,
consisting of two short one-act farces, "In the Teeth of the Gift Horse,"
and "Her Decision." "In the Teeth of the Gift Horse" is one of Arnold
Bennett's charming plays, and "Her Decision" is by Margaret Cameron, a
delightful playwright. CAST OF CHARACTERS "IN THE TEETH OF THE GIFT

These two plays proved very successful and the Club decided to present them
at Friday Harbor. March 21, at 8:30 A. M., the Club, chaperoned by Miss
Hays, Miss Brown, Miss Sheafer and Mrs. Termaat, embarked on the San Juan
II. for Friday Harbor. A big Thespian penpant floated from the main truck
of the launch. The day was perfect and after cruising about among the many
islands the launch landed at 3:30 P. M. A most appetizing and satisfying
lunch was served cafeteria style in Rebekah Hall by the chaperons. The
remainder of the after- noon was spent in "seeing the town," and in some
clever work at staging. In spite of the meagre staging resources the plays
were well given. The return trip began at 11:30 P. M., and was consequently
made by moonlight. The second social gathering was held at Miss Hays'
cabin on Lake Whatcom, April 17. A delightful picnic supper was served near
the lake shore, where a beautiful view of the scenery was enjoyed. After
the supper the Club adjourned to Miss Hays' cabin, where a short program
was rendered and where the remainder of the evening was happily spent. A
College play of three acts, "The 'Varsity Coach," was presented the last
week in May. CAST OF CHARACTERS Robert Selby, assistant coach of 'Varsity

program, games has entered its fourth year with a membership of forty, and
with promise of a still greater future. It is with pride that we note the
success of former Philos. We also have the assurance that the present
members will be a credit to the organization- for are they not even now
winning laurels, with Viola Hopkins as winner of the first declamatory
prize, Maimee Davis chosen by the Faculty as the Senior representative to
appear on the Commence- ment program, Anna Brown as Editor-in-Chief of the
Senior Annual, and with Messrs. Greene and Olson as members of the Student
Board of Control. Early in the year the Society amended its constitution
by adopting the Recall and Direct Primary. The latter became so popular
that it was later adopted by the Students' Association. The social side of
our activities has furnished much enjoyment, with spreads following
several programs, two mysterious initiations, the May "stunt," a beach
party and the famous birthday party. The work for the year has been
instructive as well as entertaining. Much ability was been gained in
parliamentary drill, debate, dis- Page Ninety-Nine

cussions, talks and much pleasure derived from the contributions from our
musicians and elocutionists. The Philos gave the first public program of
the year which showed what the society does at its regular programs. Every
program has been carefully planned, prepared and executed. Among those
rendered were a College program, Spelling Convention, Patriotic meeting,
May Day parade and Philomathean Phonograph. + EXTRACTS FROM THE PHILO
PHONOGRAPH. EDITORIALS. A word of Greeting: The Philos hope when this
paper goes out to its readers, it will carry with it a breath of school
life, and a little of the fraternal spirit of the Philos. All the events
of interest will be recorded, and all matters of grave importance will be
duly considered in its pages. + HIGH COST OF LIVING. We propose a
simple remedy for the problem of high cost of living. We give Horace
Greeley's well-known advice: "Go forth, young man, and seek a wife; when
you have found her, marry her and go live with your father-in-law." GREAT
CALAMITY IMPENDING. Many other weighty problems such as the trusts,
tariff, Mexico, are agitating the public mind at present, but these evils
are as nothing compared with the terrible calamity that is about to befall
our Normal Old Normalites, George Washington and Julius Coesar would turn
in their graves if they knew of this awful possibility. Yea! There shall
be tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth throughout this broad, beautiful
Normal world, if this catastrophe be not averted. The handwriting is on
the wall! Therefore arise in your strength and ward off this terrible
disaster. For if you do not awake, if you will not heed the prophet's
warning voice,-Lake Mathes will surely dry up. SPORTING PAGE. Senor
Watkins, our famous "toreador," has just returned from a series of
successful engagements in Mexico. + LINE-UP FOR THE PHILO BASEBALL TEAM.
Batsdorf, catcher; Schiedemantel, pitcher; Westerlund, first base;
Patten, second base; Baker, third base; Hopkins, short stop; Reese,
fielder; Biver, fielder; Evanson, fielder; Schumacher, substitute; De
Long, substitute. The team feels sure of success with an attractive mascot
like our little Rudolph. Page One Hundred

TRACK. Lundberg and Suffle will be sure to pull down the 50 and 100-yard
dashes. When Greene has developed his wind and lengthened his stride he
will crowd Layton for first place in the mile. So far, in practicing for
the Marathon, Mr. Kaup has used a motorcycle to keep him in sight of E.
Thomas. King and Halsey are regular Greeks when it comes to throwing the
discus. At last practice no attempt was made to measure the throws, as we
had no donkey engine to handle the tape reel. Owen and O'Brien will do the
hurdling. + CREW. Coach Jensen says: "Our prospects for crew are great,
if we can get Dad Rindal to hollow out a cedar log for us. We have
splendid material with Mellish, Suffle, Hopkins, Patten, Nevins, Owens and
Watkins, with Philippi as coxswain. They have been practicing with a fir
plank, which has proven something of a hindrance when it comes to speed.

students. His methods are dramatic. He has often demon- strated his
extraordinary vocal powers and his wonderful range of voice. Nothing like
him on the "sound." Now is your opportunity to "grasp time by the

H.L.S. The Hays' Literary Society numbers about thirty members with three
members of the Faculty as honorary members. The work of the year 1912-13
has been a year of profit and pleasure to all members. The meetings are
held the first and third Thursdays of each month. Many very excellent
programs have been enjoyed during the year among which were a Longfellow
program given on February 28th, and "An Evening With Great Women" on March
27th. On the 13th of March a very pleasing darkey program was given as a
preparation for the coming of Booker T. Washington. These programs have
consisted of readings, musical numbers and talks upon questions of the
day. One feature of our work has been a study of the life and work of the
men who have come to us in the lecture course. This Society always finds
time to spend an evening at Miss Hay's cabin, where a part of the
evening's program is always toasting weenies and marshmallows. At the
Christmas season the Faculty room, decorated with holly and mistletoe, was
the scene of a delightful program suitable for the season. The public
program of the Society was given Friday morning, April 25th, in the
Auditorium. The program consisted of musical numbers, and the play, "The
Hour Glass," by W. B. Yeats. This Irish drama was thoroughly appreciated
by all. An evening of music on May 8th at the home of Miss Hays is to be
one of the joyous occasions of the year. On May 9th the first banquet of
the H. L. S. was given. We had as our guests members of the Faculty and
friends. As we disband for the year we think of the many pleasant days we
have had together and wish the H. L. S. of 1913-14 a most prosperous year.

............................. HENRY HEFTY The immediate object of our
Society is to train the boys to speak with ease and precision. Wherever
one goes these days he meets with people who lack ability to express their
thoughts clearly and forcibly. The business and professional world need
men that know how to present their ideas in a manner that carries weight
and results in conviction. A man with ideas but without effective
expression is like a ship without a rudder,--he may move in practically
any direction, varying perhaps, with each veering mental impulse, but he
never gets anywhere. We want to overcome our limitations in the use of our
mother tongue hence we have our programs specifically -adapted to
accomplish this end. It is astonishing how quickly the boys have overcome
their diffidence. There isn't a fellow in the Society but can get up and
entertain us half an hour and make every minute count. This practice is
rapidly preparing us to become effective speakers. There are some in our
ranks who clearly have the capacity to grow into orators, and we expect
that they will some day make their mark in the world of eloquence. Page

NELLIE HESS MOTTO-More Light COLORS-Old Rose and Cream Two school years
of existence have brought the Delphian Literary Society to the place where
it can walk alone, and talk in the language of its elders with
considerable ease. Since its birth in October, 1911, it has grown with the
growth of the High School, increasing rapidly in stature and
independence. Not to any one person, but to the faithfulness of its
officers and the loyal spirit of its members is this development due.
Every Thursday at ten o'clock a meeting is held for half an hour,
literary programs alternating with business meetings. On the latter
occasions, the girls receive good practice from parliamentary drill and
have now reached the stage where they have successfully represented the
august members of the Faculty. If some of the measures which have been
adopted in parliamentary drill were carried out, we should have an
entrance to Society Hall through the roof and perhaps a new carpet for the
Study Hall. Although the most striking trait of all the Delphians is their
remarkably intelligent expression-thus distinguishing them from the
ordinary "Beastie,"- they may be further identified by a peculiar marking:
a small, silver triangle, worn on the left side of the blouse. Page One

Editorial Our Annual comes out under a new name this year: "KLIPSUN," the
Indian name, meaning sunset; and we trust that the name will help to call
more attention to our beautiful sunsets. Don't get so absorbed in your
School work that you can't look out of the window for a moment to catch a
glimpse of sunsets, the bay and the mountains. Are you one of the students
who have been in School all year and done nothing for Class or School? Just
pure knowledge is a good thing, but the ability to get on your feet and
talk, that a literary society gives you; the companionship and good
feeling that meet you when you do your duty by your Class; the training in
working with other people that comes from participation in athletics; the
enjoyment for yourself and others that is derived from membership in a
musical club,-are these not worth a great deal, too? We are glad to note
that our Normal is growing so rapidly that several members have been
added to the Faculty this year and we believe that the School Spirit is
becoming better in proportion to the growth. Class Spirit and competition
are mighty fine things to have in a School, especially if the rivalry does
not degenerate into jealousy. Just one word more: Before we part let's
forget any knocking or criticism we have indulged in this year and start
being "square" instead. "Smile and the world smiles with you, Knock and
you go it alone; For a cheery grin will let you in, Where the knocker is
never known." Page One Hundred Ten

Settling Mr. Martin "I always use the whites o' 'leven eggs," announced
Mrs. Andrews decisively. The Ladies' Aid gasped politely. "My, that's a
lot o' eggs for one cake,, ain't it?" said Mrs. Hall. "I never use more'n
nine." "Well, I've always said that anybody that used less'n 'leven eggs
in that kind of cake was purty close." "Maybe they didn't have 'em to
use," put in little Mrs. Gray gently. "Well, then; they hadn't better try
to make angel cake," snapped Mrs. Andrews, as she bit off another length
of thread and thrust it savagely into the needle. "They'd better do like
the man the minister was tellin'. about last Sunday. Say, did you notice
that button on the back of his coat? It was just a hangin' by one thread.
I thought I'd die o' mortification. That man needs a wife if ever anybody
did!" "Well, I should say he does," added Mrs. Davenport. "I'll bet that
was the last clean handkerchief he had. If he's goin' to stay here in
Hartville he's got to have somebody to look after him." "Who would it be?"
asked Mrs. Hall. "There isn't- " "Yes, there is!" interrupted Mrs.
Andrews. "There's Hannah Draper that lives over by Morton, would be just
the one for him. She's not very good lookin', that's true, but she
certainly can cook and sew. She's made three 'Log Cabins' since last
Christmas." "Maybe Mr. Martin would like to have something to say about
it," suggested Mrs. Gray. "Well, if he don't know a good thing like Hannah
Draper when he sees it, this ain't no place for him," Mrs. Andrews
announced with decision. "Let's make it business-like though. Is there a
motion?" But before the motion could be given there was a hasty scramble
on the back porch; the door flew open, and the Andrews twins burst in.
"Maw, we're hungry!" they announced. Mrs. Andrews was plainly annoyed. She
prided herself upon the rigid control which she was said to exercise over
her children. "Stand right there by the door," she commanded, and then
went on: "Let's hear your motion, Mrs. Davenport." The "aye" which
followed it was almost unanimous. Little Mrs. Gray was the only dissenting
voice. The twins stood through the vote and its discussion in bored
solemnity. At this moment their chief concern in life lay in a
freshly-baked loaf of bread, a golden pat of butter, and a crimson glass
of jelly on the third shelf. "Now you can go, boys," their mother said
leniently. "There's some fresh bread in the kitchen, an' a pitcher o' milk
in the pantry." "My, how well trained your children are," said Mrs. Blake,
after they had gone out. "Yes," smiled Mrs. Andrews, "It's all in
beginnin' right. I've always made 'em toe the mark an' they know they
have to." In the kitchen the twins were tasting the sweetness of forbidden
fruit. "Say," said Bobby, as he bit down into a quivering lump of jelly,
"What was them women talkin' about anyway?" "Sounded like they's talkin'
'bout the minister and that Hannah Draper that lives over by Morton,"
mumbled Billy. "Gee! " he added manfully, "I'd like to see 'em push
anybody off onto me that way. An' Page One Hundred Eleven

Maw's goin' to ask 'em here for dinner next Sunday. I see where we go easy
on the Brown Betty." "Say," volunteered Bobby. (Bobby's thoughts were
usually gems when they came, painfully slow though they were, and always
prefaced by "Say.") "Say, I'll bet the minister 'ud like to know about
that. Le's write 'n' say we got some valu'ble infermation that we'll trade
for them two white rabbits of his. I know where I can trade two rabbits
fer a guinea pig, 'n' Tommy said he'd give us a third interest in his goat
fer another guinea pig." Thus it was that among the next morning's mail
for the Rev. Edward Martin was a very grimy note, which read: "Mr.
Edward Martin, Preacher at the Pres. church. ......Dear Sir:-We know some
valubul infermation about you which we will trade fer them two white
rabbits of yours. Is it a go? respectfuly yours (SIGNED) Robert Andrews,
William Andrews. And so it happened that late the next afternoon the twins
walked down the minister's neat gravel walk, each carrying a rabbit in his
arms, while the minister sat limply in his chair, trying to entangle
himself from the maze of Ladies' Aid, Hannah Draper and Sunday dinner.
"Merciful Heavens!" he said, to Mercury on the mantel; "I've got to be
engaged to somebody before next Sunday or lose my chance. And I've got to
make good; that's all there is to it! It all depends on next Sunday, and
if the Ladies' Aid is down on me I might as well- . I might say it was
Mrs. Adams, but ministers don't usually marry deaf old housekeepers. But,"
he added in desperation, "I've got to produce a fiancee between now and
Sunday." Then as a happy thought struck him-"I'll write to Aunt Matilda.
She'll know what to do!" When Miss Matilda tore open and read the letter
she did not ap-pear surprised. That was not Miss Matilda's way. For twenty
years this nephew had been writing his troubles to her and always she had
proven equal to the occasion. This was only one of the many, so she sat
down at once and wrote an answer; short, crisp, and characteristic to the
letter. "My Dear Ned," it ran, "I really credited you with more brains.
Why didn't you ask me to come on a visit? But since you didn't, I'll
invite myself. All you need to do is to meet me with a great deal of
tenderness, fatherly tenderness,- any kind, just so it's effusive, and if
I'm not very wrong, Hart-ville will do the rest. I shall come Thursday on
the four o'clock train. "Your loving aunt, "Matilda." For just a
fraction of a second the Rev. Mr. Martin looked puzzled, then a great
light broke over his face. "Aunt Matilda," he said with emphasis, "you're
a brick!" When the four o'clock train pulled in to Hartville, the usual
crowd of loafers was present to witness any excitement. Not that there had
ever been any excitement, but there was always the possibility. The
post-master stood in the doorway, leaning heavily against one side. The
agent, fully realizing his importance, stood a little in advance of the
others, a pencil over one ear, 'and the mail sack thrown carelessly over

his shoulder, as though he were not fully aware that Mrs. Andrews' order
for $2.48 worth of goods from the city was contained therein. The only
outsiders were the minister, who stood eagerly scanning every window, and
little Mabel Andrews with a basket of eggs which she was to exchange at
the store. There was only one passenger to alight,-a little, young-old
lady, with bright eyes and faintly flushed cheeks, who looked neither to
the right or left but ran across the platform straight into the arms of
the minister of the Hartville Presbyterian Church. "Ned, dear," she said
very distinctly, knowing well that there were seven pairs of ears cocked to
hear every word, "I've just been dying to see you!" Little Mabel Andrews
had been all ears and eyes; and without waiting for more, she rushed for
home, as fast as her chubby little legs and the basket of eggs would
allow. "Maw," she shrieked, as she neared the kitchen. "Maw, he kissed
her right there on the platform, with everybody a-lookin' on!" "Who kissed
who?" inquired Mrs. Andrews excitedly. "The minister!" gasped Mabel.
"Well, who did he kiss?" "A lady that got off the train. She run right up
to him an' he grabbed her 'n' kissed her three times, 'n' she had purple
flowers on her hat, 'n' once on each cheek, 'n' once on her forehead, 'n'
she called him 'Ned, dear,' 'n' he took her valise, 'n' never looked at
me. 'N' here they come now!" "Good land!" gasped her mother, her voice
pitched three keys higher than usual. "I'll run over an' tell Mrs. Hall.
We can see 'em from her front window. Mabel, if that bread gets too warm
on one side you turn it 'round." But Mabel, who was her mother's own
daughter, was already at the window. When Miss Matilda went past she was
smiling her prettiest. "Ned, dear," she said, "you're saved. You're as
good as married. I saw two women dodge behind those curtains as we went
past." When they turned into the minister's trim white gate, Mrs. Andrews
sighed. "Well, it's a real relief to me. I'm glad he's settled down. He's
saved us a lot o' trouble. I'm glad he picked out a nice, sensible woman,
even if her hat is a little mite gay. Yes, sir; it's a real load off my
mind to get him settled down. I must run right over and tell Mrs. Blake.
It's been such a worry to her." "Say!!' said Bobby when he heard the news,
"That'll mean just two more pieces o' Brown Betty fer us." '13. Page One

Mary Kathleen's Sin She must have been nearly three feet in height, not
counting the big, fly-away, pink bow that fluttered and trembled on the
very topmost lock of her very brown, very straight and very heavy hair.
The color in her cheeks was like nothing in the world so much as the very
pink ice-cream she was eating from the cone in her hand. Everything about
her suggested the happy little girl of five-until you considered her eyes.
They were big and brown and they looked out at the world with a great
wonder and with something else-that something which made people call her a
"queer child." Her name was Mary Kathleen. The "Mary" was for grandmother
but the "Kathleen" was for herself. Today Mary Kathleen sat on the steps
of the big, shady veranda with a far-away look in her brown eyes. Although
she did not know it herself she was trying with all her strength to
justify things in her small world. For there had been a long series of
misfortunes which seemed to have hurled themselves upon her, together with
the advent of Aunt Jane and the departure of her own mother for parts
unknown. You see, Father and Mary Kathleen had decided, after solemn
deliberation, that it was much better that Mother should go away for a few
days of complete rest, even though it meant endless loneliness for the two
members of the family left behind. Every afternoon of that summer, when
the long, gaspy hours seemed to drag the very heaviest, Mother had always
found something to help her little girl endure the heat. It might be a few
hours spent in the very shadiest spot they could find; or it might be
just a tall, thin, deliciously frosty glass of sweet, cold lemonade, that
one could sip at for an hour. The entertainment of her niece did not seem
to enter into Aunt Jane's estimation, as one of her duties; and so that
afternoon Mary Kathleen had wandered around the house dismally. Looking
for something cool to drink, she had finally come to the sideboard in the
diningroom. There the first thing that caught her eye was a great, big,
round, silver dollar. Mary Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief. How could
she have thought that Mother had forgotten her? This meant an ice-cream
cone and some beautiful red and white "marbles" to be had at the little
store on the corner. When it was such a big piece of money, Mother must
have meant some for each day of her absence. Why hadn't she thought to
look on the side-board before? So Aunt Jane found her a few minutes later
on the veranda. Beside her on the step was a striped bag, and in one hand
she held several pieces of money. Aunt Jane had never learned the gentle
art of "counting ten." She was, also, a firm believer in the force of
"circumstantial evidence," and Mary Kathleen's case was tried, found
guilty, and dismissed while the prisoner was still offering her judge a
sticky "marble." "Mary"-(Aunt Jane thought the added "Kathleen" entirely
unnecessary). "When did you get that money." "On the sideboard!" Mary
Kathleen was considering with approval and not a little wonder the little
sparks that seemed suddenly to dance in Aunt Jane's eyes. "What!"-Then,
quietly-"Why did you take it!" This seemed an unnecessary question to the
child, in the face of Page One Hundred Fourteen
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 115
----------
the cone and "marbles"; still her Aunt Jane should receive nothing but
politeness and consideration at her hands, so she answered: "Because it
was hot and I wanted some ice-cream." "But you knew it was not your
money?" Again this seemed the height of the ridiculous, but she answered
patiently: "On, no; it wasn't mine!" Never had Mary Kathleen noticed
before how Aunt Jane's curls seemed to bob around on her forehead. Now,
Mother's curls-- "You will go straight upstairs and prepare yourself for
bed. I don't want to see you again to-day--! To steal and then
deliberately - oh!" Mary Kathleen sat quite still and looked at her aunt.
She was racking her brain to know why she was to go to bed in the middle
of the afternoon. "But, Aunt Jane-!" "Go, immediately! Do you hear?" Now
she understood. Aunt Jane was tired already of taking care of a little
girl and wanted her to go where she wouldn't bother any more. Her upper
lip quivered and her eyes had a hurt, surprised look. But she must not
only be Mother's little daughter, she must be Father's brave soldier-boy!
And if Aunt Jane wanted her to go to bed then she must go at once. Only-she
needn't have spoken in that way! All through the long hours of that
afternoon she lay quietly trying to adjust herself to Aunt Jane's ideas.
At seven, when the pangs of a very healthy appetite were beginning to be
felt, she heard quick, swinging steps on the stair and Father came in.
Behind him was Aunt Jane's thin, angular form. "What's this I hear? Not
rebellion in the camp the first day of the general's leave?" "Oh, Father;
I don't know-tell me what's the matter?" "Wise move! Always ask the
questions yourself. Let the other fellow do the talking. But, little girl;
why did you want that dollar?" Then the story came out. And Father, being
wise beyond his years in the ways of small people, caught Aunt Jane just
in time to stop her outburst and almost forcibly ejected her from the
room. For there were a few words which he did not care to have explained
to Mary Kathleen just then, such as "theft" and "unjustly accused." Then
Mary Kathleen and Father went over the whole thing carefully and decided
again that, although her ways might seem "passing strange" to them, it was
only a failure to understand on their part, and must be met by
never-failing politeness. Of his interview with Aunt Jane no account is
given; but when Mary Kathleen came down to dinner, happy and beaming
again, Aunt Jane came up and kissed her, saying simply: "I didn't
understand, Mary. We will try to remember after this!" And Mary Kathleen,
out of the sweetness and gentleness of her heart, opened the striped bag
in her hand and bestowed the largest and stickiest of candy marbles upon
Aunt Jane. BEATRICE BELL, '13. Page One Hundred Fifteen

Contest in Debate The preliminary contest in debate was held soon after
the Christmas holidays, upon the question, "Resolved, That Judges Should
Be Subject to the Recall." From a number of contestants, the following
people were selected to take part in the final contest: Grace Barnes,
Joyce Suffel, Martin Hevly and Philip Hogan. On account of ill health, Mr.
Hevly left school, leaving only three contestants. The final contest was
held in April. Each of the people taking part gave evidence of splendid
training and a thorough knowledge of the question. Miss Barnes supported
the affirmative alone, while the negative was upheld by Miss Suffel and
Mr. Hogan. The prize of $40, offered by the Board of Trustees, was won by
Miss Barnes, while a second prize of $20 was won by Mr. Hogan. Declamatory

Football The football season for the year 1912, was one of
uncertainties. The sweets of victory were mingled with the bitter of
defeat, and while the year cannot be regarded as one of triumph entirely,
still there were some things that brought joy to the hearts of the loyal
rooters of the Hill squad. The main stumbling block in the way of a good
team was the fact that games were hard to get. Owing to the geographical
location of Bellingham it is hard to bring teams here without a big
expense and the various High Schools of the State did not appear anxious
to play games with the Normal, taking the position that the Normal was
out of their class and there was nothing to gain by beating them and much
to lose by being defeated. Another fact was the late starting of many of
the students and the small number of boys to choose from. This small
number of boys made the maintenance of a second team impossible and as a
result the first team obtained little or no defensive work before their
contests. The victory that brought the most cheer to the Normal was the
decisive defeat given to the local High School. There has always been a
feeling of rivalry between these schools and to beat the High School made
up in part for the defeat received at the hands of the Everett High
School. This game was in the early part of the year and the team was
composed nearly entirely of men who had never taken part in a hard
contest, and the superior team work of Everett and the fact that their
team were nearly all men of experience proved too much for the Normal. A
game later in the season was refused by Everett, but competent judges of
the game credited the Normal with having a better team than the Everett
one. The game with the University of Puget Sound was a repetition of the
experience with Everett; better team play and older and more experienced
men won. This team was afterwards protested as playing professional men
and four of their best men were removed from the team. Had these men been
removed before the Normal game, the result might have been different.
Burlington, Ferndale and Mt. Vernon were some of the small games won by
the Normal. Captain Wallace Sutherland played at left half-back, taking
part in every game and displaying marked ability throughout the year. His
running with the ball in open field work was the equal of any halfback
that played in Bellingham this year; and on the receiving end of a forward
pass he was sure and safe. "Curly" Hawkins played the other halfback
position and his work was of a high order. It was his first year behind
the line and he was a consistent ground-gainer, both on line plunging and
on end runs. Will Tucker and "Nork" Johnson played at the fullback
position, Tucker taking part in the earlier games with good success,
particularly in the High School games, where his line smashes had a lot to
do with winning the game. His attention to the managing end of the team
and a hard course of study kept him out of some of the later games.
Johnson was late in entering school and while lack of practice did not
allow him to show the true speed of which he is capable and which he
displayed as a member of the fast Burlington team of the year before, he
must be rated as one of the good backs of the Northwest. His weight and
speed, coupled with the fact that he is an accurate thrower and catcher,
made him valuable on either end of the forward pass. Page One Hundred

Ross Wilson held down the job of quarterback and throughout the whole year
played a steady game, running the team in good shape and getting all our
of the team that was possible. His defensive work was good at all times
and several times he averted touch-downs that seemed certain. Wilson did
the most of the kicking for the team; and while the team was weak in
punting, Wilson did some good work in that line. The Normal was
particularly strong in end men, Dick Hanley and "Sam" Carver being the
equals, if not the superiors of any ends that played in Bellingham during
the year. Few gains of any distance were made around either end during the
year, and very few pass formations were successful against them. Hanley
has had more experience, and showed good judgment in defensive work all
the season, being especially strong on going down the field under punts.
An injury in one of the earlier games slowed him up somewhat, but taking
his work as a whole, he must be given credit for a good year. Carver,
playing his first year at football, showed the makings of a fine end.
While lacking the experience of Hanley his work toward the end of the
season was of high class. Knaack played part of the year at end and showed
well in some of the games. His work in the Puget Sound game when he scored
on them was good. The tackle positions were the hardest to fill of any on
the team. The injury to "Col." Sloan in the first game of the year
deprived the Normal of one of the best of their men and had be been able
to play the whole year it would have been a big help toward strengthening
the line. Sloane is big and strong and has the football instinct of
following the ball and being in every play. Dahlquist played part of the
season as tackle, but a broken hand received in U. P. S. game compelled
him to drop out during the last of the season. Dahlquist has always played
back of the line and changing to the line made it hard for him to play
the best that he was capable of. His tackling at all times was good, and a
little more experience at the tackle position would have made him a
valuable man for the team. Gay Monks, as the left tackle, was one of the
most valuable men on the team. Monks is a player of considerable
experience and each year seems to make him better. At solving the plays of
the opponents and breaking them up he is better than many University
players. Monks carries the ball well and pulled off several very classy
forward passes during the year. The lack of heavy men made the selection
of the guard positions a difficult one. Ingman at left guard played a
steady reliable game during the entire season and was always to be
depended on to make a hole to advance the runner on line plays. Several
men were used as the other guard but Bert Jones showed the best class of
any of them. Jones, one of the lightest men of the team, played against
men that outweighed him from thirty to fifty pounds, but held his own in
good shape. Jones was also used as center in some of the games and his
work as center was fine. In passing the ball and following the play he did
well and on defensive play he was strong for a small man. Guy Noyes
played as center in the earlier games and for his limited experience did
well. His dropping out toward the end of the season weakened the center of
the line somewhat as the Normal was not very well supplied with heavy men.
Among the other men who helped to make the team were Olson, Walter
Johnson, Emery and Yoder. All these men show form and only their lack of
experience keeps them from making the team. Several of them by next year
should be able to crowd some of the last year men very closely and gain
for them Page One Hundred Twenty-Two
----------
Klipsun, 1913 - Page 123
----------
a position on the team. Little Danny Hall, the lightest man who turned
out, showed fine form the first of the season and only the fact that he
could not finish the season kept him from a regular job on the team. The
hardest condition that the Normal school has to contend with is the fact
that the majority of the students attend the school for only one or two
years. This makes the building of a team very hard as a new team must be
developed every year, while in the most of the schools against which the
Normal competes the course of study covers four years. This is a big
advantage to them, as they can maintain the same team from year to year.
Considerable credit must be given the Faculty for their support of the
game and the encouragement they gave to the team. A good athletic team is
an advantage to any school, as it serves to draw the attention of the
students of other schools to the successful school and is a tendency to
attract them to that school. The Bellingham Normal School should be in a
position to maintain a team equal to those of any of the secondary
colleges of the state, and it is the hope of the school that such will be
the result of the next year. To one who has never taken part in any games
for a school it is hard to realize the help and encouragement that is
given to the team by the presence of the student body at the contest. The
Normal was very fortunate this year in having such a loyal bunch of
rooters, who at all times stood by their team, both in the hours of
victory and in the moments of defeat. Several of the team will not be in
school for the next year and just what will be done in the way of a team
is not certain. It is hoped that a team will be put in the field and be
able to uphold the honor of the school. The Normal has never been able to
put a team in the field that was superior to all of its opponents, but
they have always stood for good straight football and have never
encouraged the playing of students for the mere winning of games. The
small number of men attending the school makes winning teams hard; but
winning games is only a part of the sport, and good, clean football is to
be more encouraged that than spirit of winning at all costs. The team and
school owe much to the kindness of Dr. Turner, the Coach, for his very
efficient coaching and encouragement. The school would make a wise move
if they would endeavor to engage Mr. Turner's services as Coach for next
year as he knows the old men who will be here in the fall; and he could
shape up a good team. Page One Hundred Twenty-Three

[Image] JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Girls' Baskethall After a season of hard
undaunted labor the members of the girls' basketball teams, the schedule
of the Kline Cup games was announced. Each team felt that the prize should
be theirs and each player determined to carry off the honors for his own
Class. The Freshmen, with such stalwarts as Lehman and Egbert, backed by
their trustworthy "team- mates," had a right to feel confident of the cup.
The Sophs. were handicapped from the beginning by not having a larger
turn-out in practice. Nevertheless they did their best. The Juniors, with
"Ann" and "Cassie," true marksmen, and Stalberg and Taylor, able defenders
of the oppenents' goal, aided by "Shorter" in center, put up a team of
which the Class might well be proud The excellent team work of the Seniors
won the admiration of enemy as well as friend. Williams and Stroup were
"right there" when it came to throwing baskets and with Stevens as center
and MacKechnie and Myron as guards, who were "on the job," they showed
excellent form. The girls had practiced hard and were in good trim, thanks
to the untiring efforts of their several coaches, when the first game of
the series was called. The game was called at 7:30 and the Seniors and
Freshmen began the contest. Both teams showed up well and it proved to be
a hard-fought battle. The Freshmen won the victory by one point, the score
being 11-10. As the Sophomores failed to appear, they forfeited the game
to the Juniors. The second game proved as exciting as the first. Interest
was beginning to manifest itself among the various classes. The Juniors
brought out their colors, red and gray, but could not outshine the
Seniors' gold and green! The contest between Sophomores and Seniors lacked
"vim," as the Sophs. showed lack of team work and practice. The Seniors
won 24-0. Page One Hundred Twenty-Four

The Freshmen stood up well under the attacks of the Juniors, but seemed
"out of luck," as many good chances at the basket failed to put the ball
through. The score was 16-4 in favor of the Juniors. Enthusiasm had been
steadily growing and an intense rivalry was shown between Junior and
Senior classes at the third game of the series. Both Classes were out in
full force, colors and horns and yells! Both teams were in splendid
condition. Never before had the Senior Class of the Normal put out such a
formidable foe as this year. Juniors seemed to recognize this and every
man went into the game determined that his team should win. The score was
first 4-3 in favor of the Seniors at the end of the first half. At the end
of the second half, a tie, 8--8. The Seniors made the first basket and the
game was over with a score of 10-8 in favor of the Seniors. The Freshmen
won from the Sophomores, also. Now the points stood in such a way that
the next game fell to the Freshmen and Seniors. After some delay the game
was played with a score of 7-4 in favor of the Freshmen. In the next game
the Juniors won again from the Freshmen, making the final game fall to the
Juniors and Seniors. Never was Class spirit so in evidence. The gymnasium
was crowded; everyone was expectant. The game was a tussle from start to
finish. The final wind-up showed a score of 7-6 in favor of the Juniors.
This ended the series and won the cup for the Juniors. The line-up for
the season was: Seniors Juniors Helen Stevens ..................center

Boys' Basketball The basketball season opened with the usual burst of
enthusiasm and with the determination to put out a winning team. The
material promised well from the start. With Sam Carver as coach, and such
men as Nattrass, Tucker, Gibb, Wilson, Hanley, Knaack, Dahlquist, Riley,
Munks and Davenport to choose from, who could question the strength of the
machine turned out? The team was broken up twice by men leaving school,
but when the time for a game rolled around Carver managed to have a
quintet in good form. Nattrass played a bear of a game at forward while
the other side was ably held up by Knaack and Dahlquist. Tucker played the
pivot position all through the season and showed his usual good form. The
guard berths were filled by Wilson and Hanley, who both played a good
game. The hill team tied the Y. M. C. A. for first place in the city
league, but lost the deciding game by a small margin, leaving the North
Side High third. The decisive victory in football was keenly felt by the
High and was accompanied by threats of what they would do to us in
basketball. The two games that were played were fought hard from start to
finish, but both were won by the Blue and White. As usual Ellensburg
wanted a game until we were ready to start, then showed cold feet, but we
were rather surprised that U. P. S. should yell, "Dates full," at the last
minute and throw us down hard. This combination of affairs lost us our
trip east of the mountains, after it was practically started. The boys
worked hard, however, and deserve much credit. You can bet your last
bottom dollar we will look for signed contracts next season. Page One

TRACK On May 27, the Normal and High School held the annual track meet
at the Fair Grounds, which ended in a complete victory for the B. S. N. S.
by the score of 72-54. Adams and Hall took first and second in the
sprints, Adams breaking all city records. The mile was captured similar to
the half- mile with Hawkins, Burpee and Odle. In the hurdles Kimball of
the High School outclassed us. Only one point in them was made by Hall. We
took the weights with King, Sloane and Cunningham behind them. The high
jump was given to the High, for we entered no man; but a third place was
taken in the broad jump by Adams. Richardson and Callow took first and
second in the vault. Our relay team was "big league," simply outclassing
the High. It was composed of Adams, Swartz, Hall and Hawkins. The meet
was a success for us financially, for a goodly crowd turned out to witness
our victory. From the dope this year :another victory can be seen in the
triangular meet May 17th-Normal, North Side High and South Side High. The
cross-country runs were started April 5th, in spite of the wintry weather,
and the boys are now hard at work on their special events. The weights
are not giving us much worry, with big Bob Yoder heaving the shot and
discus, and there is nothing slow about Sloane, King and Olsen along this
line. For the jumps and pole vault, much confidence is placed in
Nattrass, Wilson, Burpee and Wood. The woods are simply full of distance
men, such as Gibb, Emery, Burpee, Dahlquist and Nattrass. Some good
records have been made by the men in training. Manager Danny Hall is the
man we depend on to show what it means to sprint. Dan was so close to
Adams at the finish last year that he could pat him on the back. Riley
and Dahlquist will probably help him to hold up this end of the meet. All
are working hard under the direction of Carver and expect to "do things."
+ + Chuckanut Marathon The plans for the contest this year have not yet
been completed. It is expected, however, that the contest will be a good
one in every way. The boys have shown a great deal of enthusiasm and are
turning our well for practice. We are hoping that even a better record
will be made this year than last. The idea of a race up Chuckanut
Mountain was first suggested by Dr. Mathes. A committee, Messrs. Philippi,
Patchin and Earl Forrest, were appointed to arrange details for the race.
The race was to be of a three-fold nature: 1. Individual prizes for speed
contestants. 2. Class team, consisting of five members, who should make
best record for class. 3. Average percent for Class which should register
largest percentage of members at the top of the mountain. 1. Prizes-(a)
A $22 gold watch; (b) An $11 traveling bag; (c) A white sweater. 2.

Nine o'clock Saturday morning found the campus and front steps dotted with
members of our School and down-town people, eagerly awaiting the crack of
the pistol. Some were talking of politics or friends far away, but the
question that pressed the heart of almost every enthusiastic onlooker was:
Who would be victorious? At the same time seventeen of the strongest and
most ambitious boys were in the doctor's office undergoing a rigid
examination under the supervision of Dr. Morrison. After some excitement
on the side of the participants there were seventeen pairs of well
developed lungs, each of which it was hoped and expected would bring home
a gold watch or some other useful article. At twenty minutes past nine
our boys, standing with tip-toes to the line, with excited nerves and
swelling hearts, were anxiously awaiting the click of the pistol. Click!
Click! Away they went, on a ten mile tour to the top of Chuckanut and
back. The last we could see of them was just the mere outline of a shadow
turning down Garden street. The steady, easy motion with which our boys
sped on was marked by hundreds of enthsiastic onlookers, who lined the
boulevards and parks along the trail. The course was marked out with
little white flags with B. S. N. S. imprint stamped upon the center.
With the first three miles left in the background, the foot of Mt.
Chuckanut confronted those who thought they could climb Mt. Everest for a
"morning's exercise." But two miles of Chuckanut and they would want an
early start on a Monday morning in November before trying anything else.
Many steep and hard spots of the rough earth did our boys find while
carefully picking their winding way up the zigzag trail of that mountain
side. "At last!" the applauding shouts filled the mountain tops, Sloane
rounded the crest of Chuckanut, followed two minutes later by Gibson.
Soon this was rapidly repeated by the entire number of our seventeen
contestants. We turn now to see what has become of our friends in the vale
far below. To-be-sure! they are anxiously but patiently awaiting the
return of the dear ones, who went on their errand to the mountains. Just
one hour, 28 minutes, 10 seconds from the click of the pistol, Carl
Kalberg crossed the line with the gold watch-not in his hand, but in
sight-and with anticipations of hearty congratulations from a little girl
in La Conner. Forty-eight seconds later he was followed by Odle, who won
second prize. Nine seconds later followed Sloane, who won third prize.
All the boys came in in good condition, except Sloane, who suffered some
pain from a dislocated ankle, while rounding one of those precipices so
often found along the Chuckanut thoroughfare. The Herald Cup was won by
the Freshman Class. The Freshman team consisted of King, Olsen, Smith,
Hawkins and Sloane. The Tenth Grade of the Training School won the
pennant, by having a higher percentage of the class registered at the top
of Chuckanut during the day. All contestants finished the race, except two
boys from the High School department, who probably had notereceived a
sufficient amount of training prior to the contest. J. L. S. Page One

The National game is on the progressive list this year. The boys have been
provided with swell new suits by the Student's Association. The suits are
blue with white trimmings. What team could fail to do its best with these
classy suits? Ross Wilson is busy arranging the schedule. The schedule to
date: April 26.-B. H. S. May 10.-Ferndale H. S., in Ferndale. May 24.-B.
H. S. The Manager is trying to sign Sedro-Woolley for May 3rd and the U.
P. S. for May 17th or 31st. The University of Puget Sound seems to be
afraid to meet the Normal, as has been the custom. Our team promises to be
unusually strong this year. Sutherland and Hill will do the work on the
mound. They are both hard workers, with lots of speed. Manager Wilson
seems to be the only man to show up well behind the bat. He is an
experienced player and adds a tower of strength to the team. The infield
is especially strong. Tucker at first base is playing his last and third
year on that bag. Nattrass at second and Jones at short are two Bellingham
High stars and will greatly strengthen the infield. Fritz Anderson at
third is a wonder for his size and is not so small at that! In the
outfield will be Reed, Sandberg, Knaack or Dahlquist, all good men, tried
and true. We feel that with the support of the student body the season
will be the most successful in the history of the institution. FRIDAY
HARBOR GAME, APRIL 19 B. S. N. S. 12-Friday Harbor 2. The boys began the
season strong by taking Friday Harbor into camp, 12-2. Hill pitched up
well for six innings and then was taken out to let Wallie get a little
speed out of his system. Special mention should be made of the work of
Ross Wilson behind the bat and of Anderson at third base. Although the
team had not been practicing long the boys showed mid-season form in the
field, but at the bat a lack of practice as eleven strike-outs were
chalked up against the Normal. But hits came when they were needed and
twelve runs were gathered in the game. Pagee Or- Hilndhed Thirt-Tbrep

issue the Students' Association closes a very successful year, considering
the difficulties under which it has labored. The second quarter Mr. Noyes,
Messenger Business Manager, dropped the work to accept a position in a
local bank. He has an excellent successor in Mr. Sonner; Mr. Hevly, the
bookkeeper, was forced to leave school in account of ill health. Miss Tacy
Clark has proved,very capable in filling his place; then, in the middle of
the school year, Mr. Sutherland resigned as President of the Association.
The office is well handled by the Vice-President. Among the duties of the
Students' Association's Board of Control is the financial support of the
Messenger, whose Faculty Advisor is Miss Bowen; of the store managed by
Mr. Sloane and Mr. Anderson, where the students purchase all school
supplies at cost; athletics and the Chuckanut Marathon. Several social
functions in the form of frolics, picnics and receptions are given by the
Association. We pride ourselves on being the first student organization in
the State to adopt the primary plan for election of officers, instead of
the general nomination system. This plan proved very successful,
interesting to the Faculty, and instructive to the Student Body. In brief,
the plan was this: I. All officers shall be elected by dlirect primary.
II. Names of eligible candidates receiving the highest number of votes at
the primary shall be be placed on the regular ballot. III. No candidate's
name may appear twice on ballot of regular election. IV. In the regular
election the candidates shall be placed on the ticket for that office for
which he receives the highest number of votes in the primary. V. Any
member may be nominated if a petition is signed by at least twenty-five
members of the Association. VI. No student may sign more than one petition
for the same office. The Board of Control for 1913-14 is: President

you keep your places? Why do you run, my love?" "You want the Senior

Music and Dramatics As Music and Dramatics everywhere play an important
part in the social life of a school, so in the Normal much interest is
taken in these two acts. In musical circles the Choral Club plays the
chief part. The girls meet every Wednesday with Mrs. Thatcher as Director.
The Club sang one morning in Assembly some numbers which were very
pleasing and furnished one number for the Christmas program. The big work
of the year was "The Bells of Elfarnie," operetta or cantata. The score
was very difficult, but after much practicing was put on as one of the
most enjoyable programs of the year. The stage was beautiful and the music
with the setting was very exquisite. By request the program was repeated
in assembly. The Club is now working on the music for Commencement, which
promises to be very good. We have heard rumors of a Boys' Glee Club but
nothing has been seen or heard of them. There is also a wide-awake
orchestra in the school, of about thirty pieces, under the direction of
Mrs. Engberg, which has given us some excellent music. They have also had
the honor (with some others of the orchestra from outside) of playing for
some noted artists: Maude Powell, violinist; and Mr. George Hamlin, a
noted tenor of New York. Beside this they have given two concerts which
were very succuessful. Many students of the school are very much
interested in dramatics and some very enjoyable plays have been given.
The Thespians have given one program of two plays, and immediately went to
Friday Harbor, where they won fresh laurels. The other society, Hays
Literary Society, entertained us royally, one Friday morning in assembly
with a program, the latter part of which was one of the deepest little
plays given this year, and also one of the hardest to act. To their
credit, let it be said, that everyone was impressed and thoroughly
enjoyed their splendid work. + + FRIDAY MORNING PROGRAMS The
entertainment and instruction furnished by these programs cannot be
estimated. The students were indeed fortunate in being able to see the
splendid views of different parts of the world and hear the talks given by
such well-known men as Dr. Chas. Sheldon, Dr. S. D. Gordon and many
others. Lectures, accompanied with stereopticon views, were given upon
Yellowstone National Park, Southwestern United States, Yosemite Valley,
Ireland, Italy, our own Mount Baker, Mexico and many other regions of
interest. Very interesting talks were given by Dr. and Mrs. Mylrae,
missionaries, who were home on a visit from Arabia. The speakers appeared
in the Arabian costumes and made us acquainted with the peculiar and
oftentimes sad customs of these strange yet fascinating people. It was
with great delight that we welcomed Mr. Charles Rice, one of America's
well-known tenor singers. His singing surpassed even our expectations. We
are proud of the fact that many of these programs were given Page One

by our own Faculty, one by a member of the Senior class, and some by
ministers and teachers of our city. We are deeply indebted to Mrs. R. W.
Smith, who gave us a number of readings in such a charming way, and to
Dr. Mathes, Mr. Gebaroff, Mr. Epley, and Mrs. McCully for their lectures;
to Rev. J. R. Macartney, and to Miss Hainke, of the High School. Dr.
Charles Sheldon was given an enthusiastic welcome and he repaid us well
with a talk that was not only interesting, but inspiring. Our last
speaker, Dr. S. D. Gordon, will not be easily forgotten. The deep
impression he made is proved by the fact that the Senior Class adopted as
their motto the central thought of his discussion: "To know is good; To do
is better; To be is best." The Training School has twice rendered
attractive programs, one at Christmas time and on May 1. That these are
much enjoyed is shown by the way we look forward gladly to the time when
one is to be given. The Hays' Literary Society entertained us one morning
with the play "The Hour Glass." The annuncement that the Choral Club
would give the Cantata, "The Bells of Elfarnie" was greeted with joy and
the rendering showed good training and ability. Space cannot be given to
tell of each in detail but it is sufficient to say that each program was
well attended and liked by the students. + + One of the greatest
advantages we enjoy, for which we should express our thanks and
appreciation to the Lecture Course Committee, is the Normal Lecture
Course. In no other way would we have the privilege of meeting and hearing
these, the best of America's men and women. The numbers this year were:
Mme. Davenport-Engberg, violin concert; Mrs. Hayden, dramatic recital;
Representative J. Adam Bede, "Our Nation, Its Progress and Problems";
Ex-Governor Hoch, of Kansas, "A Message From Kansas"; Strickland Gillilan,
poet and humorist; Dr. Harvey Wiley, "Pure Food". Some extra numbers were:
Frederick Search, 'cello concert; Mme. Labadie, "To-morrow." One of the
greatest advantages which all Bellingham people enjoyed through the
instrumentality of the Normal, was the opportunity of hearing Booker T.
Washington. This rare treat was open to all, free of charge, as the
expenses were met by subscription. Mr. Washington was given a very
enthusiastic reception and fully repaid the earnest attention accorded him.

you want to go back tomorrow?" "Well, a big man came today and stood on a

he should worry, the tortoise was a joke, but he'd be game and run just
for ducks. When they set to, the hare bucked the tortoise off the boards

who should propose is popping it. Not every girl who has made eyes is

[Drawing] Sehome Hill There is a fellow baching upon Twenty-first street,
An enterprising Freshman bachelor; In the culinary art he excels in but
one feat, To the frying of flapjacks I refer. He stirs his flapjack
batter morning, noon and night, Then fries them up in smoking 'margerine.
But one morning, breakfast pending, batter stirring, an affright Seizes
this young chef-no 'margerine. Long and hard he tho't upon the subject of
his eats, As he stood and beat his flapjack dough. When a new idea struck
him, there upon his beat- "How stupid of me; I'll use buttero." A smile
come on his countenance as he reached for the plate: "Great Caesar!
Empty!" Now what shall I do?"' His Freshman eyes explored the room, but to
reveal his fate- No butter! no flapjacks! no breakfast! was in view.
When, ah! his eagle eye alights upon a shelf, His mind alert, he acts upon
the thought, He beats his dough and fries his cakes, rejoicing to himself.
He has taken castor oil, the doctor brought,- They say J. T. will live!

The Graduate Here's to the Graduate, busy and gay, With volumes of
learning, armed for the fray, For the battle of life her Philosophy she'll
need, She waits for us all to bid her "God Speed." With spirit undaunted
no failure she fears, As she glances down the dim vista of years. The
world lies before her, her future is bright; With courage she'll strive on
the side of the right. And loved ones with pleasure, half mingled with
pain, Smile as they live o'er their school days again, And sigh as they
pray that the Fates may be kind To the girl who is leaving "Old Normal"
behind. Oh! brave little graduate, all gladsome, to- day In Life's fitful
drama great parts you may play, May you always be ready with courage and
love To meet the tasks set by the Teacher above. Page One Hundred
