Evening in the Olympics Where lofty cedars lift their heads And bow
before the evening breeze, Where twilight pours its last weak rays Among
the sleepy hemlock trees- There is where at close of day I pause and muse
in silence sweet, And ever, from these hours, remain The echoes of a
sweet refrain. While the twilight shades sink lower Upon Olympic's rugged
hills, Where Docewallip's ceaseless flow Is formed of many mountain
rills, I see the sun's receding gold Outpoured upon the river's strand.
Then, far away from east to west, Bold Darkness lifts his shadowy crest.

Senior Class Poem A Prayer We pray not, Lord, for easy things to do,
As forth we go to enter in Life's stride; We ask not that Thy hand may
trace for us A path so full of happy harmony That naught is seen of
sorrw, toil, or pain. We leave our life of being taught, O, God, Inspired
to go to lives more frail than ours,- To children, ready for a shaping
hand,- To make or mar the clay entrusted us. O! teach us, Lord, to see
thy great design; Teach us to mold each vessel for Thy use, To learn from
Thee when best to do, or wait. When, in the turmoil that each day brings
forth,- The work "that bids not sit, nor stand, but go,"- Let not the
thrills and inspiration wane Which now impels us onward to the task, And
burnishes with gold that hazy land Of future days and opportunities. When
each to-morrow shall become to-day And present needs efface the brimming
past, O, may the gladd'ning impulse still return And fill again our
hearts with joy, for this Our labor in the needy world of men. And, Lord,
in all our striving, keep us true! Burn from our thoughts the greed for
gold or gain; Keep out of sight all sense of selfish aim; Make us to feel
as ours each childish pain,- Each vital interest, be it joy or woe, Till,
thru us, Thou thyself art felt to be The Heart of sympathy,-and we shall
know That gladness comes by giving others joy! LEE SHERWOOD, '15. Page

Class Prophecy AND it came to pass in the first days of Nash, that a great
plague came upon the land in the form of a Senior Class meeting. And
behold, the Captain of the Guard, Deerwester, dreamed that he dreamed a
dream. And great sadness came upon him for he was not able to interpret.
And he dreamed that he called unto him a certain Senior, who was wont to
sleep, and dream much, and told him his dream in this wise: "Lo! I saw
twenty great stars, and more than one hundred fifty smaller stars,
scattered throughout the four corners of heaven. And the twenty great
stars were not, and the one hundred fifty smaller stars came together and
appeared as one great star. When, lo! the one star broke into many shapes
and colors, and I saw them as people, clothed in curious raiment and
running about as in great joy and prosperity.." The interpreter of
dreams, having learned the meaning of things in his Philosophy Classes,
spake thus: "This is the interpretation of what you have told: The twenty
great stars are as twenty years of labor, and prosperity and peace on the
earth. The one hundred fifty smaller stars are the Seniors of
Nineteen-Fifteen, scattered to the ends of the earth in the twenty years
of peace. And yet in twenty years they shall be brought together as in one
body, and you shall see them as persons and friends." And the Captain of
the Guard saw that the interpretation was good. And, lo! as he slept, he
dreamed again, and the twenty years were fulfilled, and the Class of
Nineteen-Fifteen were gathering from all the land to attend a great feast
in the radiant banquet-room of a changed Edens Hall. In the most
prominent place in the reception line, as host, stood the Ruler of the
Campus, Orrin Anderson. At his side stood Lew Greene, one so mighty in
learning that his reward had been the Chair in Sociology at Columbia
University. There stood Margaret Meek, chosen by the people to be Chief
Keeper over all the Schools of Washington. And, lo! there was Lue Earnst,
declared by the teachers of the nation, most fit to be a leader, for she
is President of the National Education Association. In the line was Alice
Reed, now Registrar, for it had come to pass that she had served worthily
as Senior Secretary. Lo! in these days she was set over many, and was wont
to use her hours in keeping the flocks from destroying the green hillsides
of the Campus. There, too, were others gracious and wise; the Dean of
Women, Vernie Smith, Mrs. Tupper, whom the Ruler of the Campus had set
over all the Training School, and without whom no one could move hand or
foot. There was Claude Manley, Guard over the High School, for before him
had been Ed. Olson, who having taken unto himself a wife, was cast out
and declared ill-favored to maintain the ideals of that department in
Practice Teaching. There were Theresa Tromp and Anna Breum, bearing the
marks of mighty teachers of History in the School,-Phillips and Young,
clothed in middies of many colors, for these had been sought out to teach
Tennis and Gymnasium in the School. And this was all the number in the
receiving line on the evening of the great feast. Yet, as they waited,
there was a sound as of the rushing of the Page Seventy-Five
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 76
----------
tide, and over the whole earth, Seniors from the north, east, south, and
west, began to pitch their tents towards Bellingham, and the great banquet
hall. Who are these first to arrive, led by Captain Herre, who has sought
them out from all the City? There pass Mrs. Korthauer and her
hand-maidens, Jaquith, McLeod, Mansfield, Howe, Hayward, Whittaker, and
Hatt,-all Keepers of the Roeder School. As these reach the end of the
line, there was the sound of the flutter of mighty wings, and a great,
dark cloud settled. Here was Weina Granberg, of the City of Astoria, with
her eero-jitney, bringing many from the land of San Francisco and
Portland. They enter. "Babe" Walker, Associate Manager of the rubber
plantation in Mexico, and there were precious stones on her hands, and
upon her hair, the likes of which were not to be found in all the
land,-nay not among kings and mighty rulers; Anne Brown, with her husband,
a mighty man of healing, and five stalwart sons, good to look upon. With
them came Harriet Mendenhall, the Captain of all the Fields of Play
throughout the land; Jessie Lieser, the Patroness of Learning in the
University of California; Mabel Jackson and Bertha Simpson, counted as
worthy of high honor in San Francisco, because of their profitable labor in
the Associ. ated Charities. And, lo! as he dreamed, he was filled with
wonder at the tents covering the Campus, over toward High Street, and
whence came that nickering of horses? Maidens Bassett and Beach were
proclaimed as arriving in the land, with a prodigious pony show. With them
was Adda Jones, the tight-rope wonder, and all marveled at the revelation
of the value of balance exercises in P. C. Methods. And it came to pass
that Mary and Edith, the daughters of Davis, came a three-days' journey
from the city of Chicago, bringing with them their families and their
household goods and their trunks, and all that was theirs; rejoicing that
they had returned to stay in the Land of Bellingham, after lo! these many
years. And there came Edith and Ethel her sister, from Arizona, where
they passed the fleeting days, demonstrating the Dellinger Method of
teaching wisdom to the youth of the Nation's High Schools. The author of
the Method arrives with one, who is known in the gates and sitteth among
the elders of the land." Behold as he dreamed he saw a great Ford driven
by Lytton Swartz, and bearing many from the East: Ernest, son of Neely,
and his good wife; Ellen McClung Vanderbilt, J. H. Jones, once the stay
and support of the World Peace Movement, now possessor of the wondrous
Columbian Theatre, on Broadway,-and, lo! there was much sadness in the
waiting audience at New York that night, for he had brought the leading
lady, Inga Larsen. And it came to pass that from the land of South
America, came men and maidens, to the ruler's great feast. For, behold, in
the years before, Arthur Smith, having chosen a maiden for his wife, had
sought out Rev. Wayne Bonser, at the third hour. The ceremony over, he
fled into South America, where he was put in command over the Bon Marche
extension. As the plenteous years brought forth gain in handfuls, there
had been sent unto him Sue Ewart as advertising agent. The business then
produced in such plenty that they must needs call Donald Croy and Helen
Beck and Helen Day, to help number the increasing Page Seventy-Six
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 77
----------
dollars. From this land came, too, Christine Victor and Nora Williams,
Keepers of the Bon Marche's tea- room; finest among all nations. From
another land of the South came Abbie Crepeau, who dwelt in the great City
of Panama, where she had found and cared for her true love through years
of yellow fever. With them came their governess, Dawn Jennings, and their
stenographer, Jessie Busfield. In the dream, as these neared the end of
the Hall, still others stood in the door-way: Mary Kent and Ruth
McClelland, with the goodmen of their houses, rich in railroads and art
galleries. These had returned in haste from the season of Music at Vienna.
Lo! with them were Varsilla Geberoff, and Luella Airth, who had left for
the few days, their work of years,-the service of stretching out their
hands to the strangers of Ellis Isle. Christine Johnson and Elva Boucher
caused rejoicing among the whole congregation, for, lo! the last fifteen
years had seen them serving as missionaries in Siberia. The Captain of the
Guard was disturbed in his dream to know what had led Elva to choose to
walk the earth alone. Where had-, but other guests distracted his
thoughts. Hall, Holmes, and Cook, the Keepers of "Olde Faithful Inn," were
just announced, when a swift-running messenger brought word into the Ruler
of the Campus. He read the same to the people: "Greetings: Behold in the
land there is a great scarcity of Indians and cowboys. These must still
provide for the winter's demand in the 'movies.' While they are yet in the
land we cannot come." From Loretta Murphy, Anna Hudson, Florence Felter.
Hereupon there was weeping and rending of garments in the congregation.
Sorrow was soon tured to rejoicing by the arrival of Donald Mair's private
yacht, bearing friends from the many Nations of Europe. In that hour came
Martha Sonju, the Sociologist, from the University of Christiania; Ethel
Martin, known in those days as prima donna; Lee Sherwood, famed for her
lyric verse; Helen Byles, who had left her chateau in Britainy; Flora
Lachmund, the popular American peeress from England. After a romantic
youth, she now looks well to the ways of her household. Elida Nordeen and
Carrie Docherty, who had come this long way, bringing their husbands, who
had been sought out and sent into the lands of Belgium and Russia, as
consuls and advisers. There came, too, Mrs. Bleam, Hallie Brennesholtz,
Bada Bergren, So- Surely Emily, Olive Rohrbaugh, and Mary Sutton, clothed
in rich garments, bearing the marks of Paris, glad to return from a
three-weeks sojourn in the wilderness of the Nile, where they had been led
by Ethel Storms, Martha Carson and Mrs. Taylor, learned in the wisdom of
archaeology. Yet in the same strong vessel came Rose Peterson, Ruth Van
Zandt and Louise Abbott, who had been sent to spy out the progress of
learning in all the nations throughQut the earth. And it came to pass that
they brought with them Rachel Van Devanter, the President of the
Federation of Women's Clubs in America. And as he looked to see who was
with her, the Captain of the Guard beheld that it was one known by all,-
Mrs. Vaughn, Lecturer and International President of the Y. W. C. A. Who
are these in white kid gloves and raiment of beauteous colors? Lo! Aida
Uddenberg, with her son, a comely youth; one much learned in the science
of Orthodontistry. There, too, are Nan Skally and Mary Dooley, with their
husbands, who left the interpretation of the law, in Page Seventy-Seven
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 78
----------
the days when Avis Bowman closed her "Home for Divorced Young Women," but,
lo! now they are in their years of plenty as dealers in houses and lands.
In rich apparel there follow stately matrons, with the bearing of those
who rule many servants. These the Captain knew in other years as Theo
Lewis, Corrine Lachmund, May Ramberg, and Maude Kiner, missionary, and
pin-money abounds for these through the writing of model lesson plans for
the much-put-upon Practice Teachers. Fay Shepherd is there, too, for she
and her goodman have left their flocks in the enfolding hills of Idaho, to
come to the great feast, where they will meet one wise and' prosperous in
caring for his Australian flocks, David Ruchman. Who are these with gay
countenances and high-heeled shoes, and this summer's hats? These are
Annie Shannahan, Mrs. Royal, Vivia Suti, Elsie Perry, Marie Chapman, and
Elva Nuttall, who have excelled all the daughters of the earth as
stenographers and milliners and dealers in ladies' raiment. And it came
to pass that others entered in plain attire,-stiff collars, and dark blue
suits of serge. The Captain knew these as Maidens Westby, Newell, Mackey,
Carlson, and Carroll. These are they who have endured and succeeded in
the teaching profession, and are come from all parts of the United States.
Lo! there came some belonging to the same uniform: Katherine Barry, Judge
over the Schools of the City of New Orleans, and her good helper,
Josephine Beatty,-and Mary Rees, the maker of a better system, whereby the
nation may train up its children to be strong and graceful. In that hour
there was much mourning at W. S. C., for the Classes in Campustry were
closed in those days that Frances Riggs, the Captain of the department,
might go into the Land of Whatcom to the reunion. And as he dreamed the
Captain of the Guard saw, in the early years, Clara Brown leave her
Agricultural Station in Iowa, for a home in a great city in the Land of
Missouri. And, behold! there grew up thistles in her land until in later
years, Nellie Deir and Genevieve Finnegan, went forth to make a home for
weary teachers of the children of the earth. The former Clara Brown, he
saw pass down the line, but these must needs stay in the Land of Iowa, and
serve their fellows. As the evening wore on, the company seemed to be
waiting for someone-? The Hawkins Orchestra discoursed sweet music. The
maidens, Holiday, Houghton, May, and Sells, performed the Irish lilt.
Governor Van Pelt, of Oregon, came. Lottie Crawford, Emma Buvinghausen,
and Ella King, makers of law in the Land of Washington, arrived. In the
assembled host was Grace Munson, since Hofmann, the writer of musical
notes in the Ladies' Home Journal. There were Frances Greene, the
Editor-in-Chief of the "Review of Reviews," and her associate, Phoebe
Read, going forth into their midst to interview the celebrities. Ruth
Cartwright was there, making wondrous sketches of wondrous garments.
Amidst a great shout, Arthur Sanden, the mighty with the brush, arrived.
He bore a portrait of the Foreign Minister to China, whom the Captain of
the Guard knew as Dr. Nash, the former ruler. Vida Reid and Josephine
Blixt went about debating the passing of the Psychology of "Reaction,
Adjustment and Consciousness." Ada Astel and Nina Battersby passed swiftly
down the line, and among the host of friends, and departed into the far
country of Hawaii; for, lo! they Page Seventy-Eight
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 79
----------
had there sought out homesteads and their leaves of absence were but
another week. But still the feast is delayed! Frank Givin began to
demonstrate the value of his matrimonial bureau among those of the blue
serge suits. Maglaughlin waited to take a great flashlight picture of the
assembled host, when lo! the Captain of the Guard heard sweet music, and
he knew his old favorite, as Gertrude Foley and Edda Quinby sang, "Hail,
Normal Hail!" and lo! Secretaries Thibert and Steward entered the room,
followed by Senator Utike and the First Man in the Land, President Odle.
The music grew louder and less sweet, as of a bell. With an unhappy start
the Senior Adviser heard the voice of the Ruler, Dr. Nash, and he spake
thus: "I am sure we have all enjoyed the speaker of the morning. You may
now pass to your classes!" Life is a sea of years, my dears! The little
waves are the hours, Our craft is gay and stout and young, our sails are
sweet sea flowers. The moon gleams bright upon the sea, as we merrily
float along, We fear not, for we know Life's gales will find our lips with
a song. And so we venture away from the shore, where we've played with the
shallows and shells, The wind is low like a mother's voice, as we ride
the balmy swells. We can't return for the winds blow far, toward a land we
may not see, But we'll follow the breeze with a prayer in our hearts that
we safely cross the sea. -R. O. V. Page Seventy-Nine

The Juniors THE School Year is almost ended, and our sojourn here as
Juniors will soon be over. An eventful and a pleasant year it has been
too. As we look back over the path that we have trod, the difficulties we
have encountered and overcome, we are inclined to pat ourselves on the
back and say, "We have run a good race and fought a good fight." The
Faculty, who have ministered daily to our intellectual appetites, will
complain, we know, that this sentiment is too mild, and Seniors, Freshmen
and Sophomores will stand back gaping in astonished admiration at our
prodigious modesty. Modest, we are, but human; and since we are human, we
do not hesitate to name a few of the things which testify to the
versatility of cur genius and the unusual range of our activities. We have
left no field untouched. We have done nothing by halves, but have instead
put into everything undertaken an energy that has never yet bred failure.
Shakespeare once said, "God has created some strange creatures in his
time,- some of such a vinegar aspect that they wouldn't show their teeth
in way of smile, though Nestor declare the joke to be laughable." We want
to mention in passing that it is not such stuff that we are made of. We
are absolutely unrivaled when it comes to the art of enjoying life.
Consequently our "mixer," our party, our freak "stunts," and our "kid
affairs" have a life-long berth in -many a memory. Why, we even had to
laugh at the death of the Senior Spirit. It has been our cheerful outlook
on life that has rescued the Seniors from the groveling slough of
pessimism and has made them the jolly good fellows that they are. Our
athletes have been awarded many laurels, and also have a monopoly on most
of the hero-worship floating around this vicinity. In fact, we know not
what defeat means except from another's definition. Our boys proved
themselves invincible by taking the Senior's measure to the tune of 29 to
28. The girls of our Class exhibited their efficiency by winning a game
from the Seniors, when a beautiful trophy cup hung in the balance. The
majority of the Football Team was Juniors; the Basketball Team was evenly
divided, but the Baseball and Track Teams are composed almost wholly of "
'Sixteen's," ::Our Athletes." Which almost says it all. We know, in many
cases, it is boresome to call attention to some-thing that everybody
knows. We know, too, that some things never grow old, hence what follows?
The Junior Play enjoys the undisputed honor of being one of the greatest
dramatic achievements aver staged in this School. The Junior "Kid Party"
is heralded as the only event that ever inspired a member of our dignified
Faculty to slide down a narrow "shoot-the-chutes." The Junior Class
possesses more vigor, energy, ability, fair maidens, handsome young men,
scientists, scholars and philosophers than any other Normal in
Washington. Bellingham Normal used to apologize for eight or ten poets,
but since our debut they boast of twenty-five or thirty. We have other
qualities and accomplishments too numerous to mention. So as long as our
Normal remains the peer of any in the Northwest, those who did most to
make it so, will be remembered. "While Caesar is given what unto Cesar is
due," we shall never hunger for encouragement or approbation. When others,
by superior talent and super-energy surpass our Herculean feats, with one
accord we shall exclaim, "What miracle has man wrought?" J. HARVEY LEACH.

THE Sophomore Class is small, but in spite of this fact or because of it,
we have had many good times this year. The party, a "mixer," on November
thirteenth, was held in the Domestic Science rooms. After some jolly
games, refreshments were served. Everyone agreed it was a grand success.
At the Class demonstrations, our Class took an active part, with many
witty speeches and beautiful singing. SARA BRAS. Sophomore Klipsun Report

Freshman Class Notes AS hundreds of students thronged the halls and
recitation rooms of the Normal, the first part of the year, there were
none more enthusiastic and full of School Spirit than were the Freshmen.
We made our initial appearance with a Class demonstration in Assembly,
giving our original Class Song and Class Yells. Then came the Hallowe'en
party, with Miss Knowles as hostess, and Mr. Philippi as host. That alone
would be enough to assure its success. After a delightful evening of
games, refreshments were served and toasts were given by members of the
Class. But the hands of the clock would keep moving to the time when the
heartless Janitor stalks about the halls, wearing that well-known frown,
bringing to a close an evening of fun and frolic. Rumblings may still be
heard of the Freshman- Sophomore excursion to Mount Chuckanut on February
twenty-second. Refreshments were served at the summit by the girls, while
Mr. Philippi and the boys performed new and original gymnastic stunts,
sensational to behold, but dangerous to the spectators. Miss Jensen and
Mr. Bever showed their skill by juggling "weenies" over the flames. The
Freshman-Sophomore party, held in the Domestic Science room the evening of
March thirteenth, was a huge success. The roll call was answered with
Irish jokes, games were played, and later ice cream was served. Miss
Vulliet entertained the Class at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, March
twenty-seventh. To those of us who are leaving this year, it may seem that
our good old days are over, but we have formed friendships that will last
forever, and our Class Spirit will be carried on through the years to
come. Onward! is our watchword as we march thru Normal Halls; Forward!
is our slogan, within its old gray walls; Our colors high above us, our
banners to the wind, The Future lies before us, the Past we leave behind,
No duty e'er shall daunt us, no coming Class excel, In the work we've
done so nobly, so ably, and so well. Then Forward! is our slogan, our
watchword and our song, A heritage behind us, we leave when we are gone.

Young Women's Christian Association LAST fall, before School started,
there was one organization already at work. Over on Lummi Island a number
of girls had gathered around a bright fire in a comfortable cabin. These
girls had returned early in order to be present at this meeting in
September. All were happy and enthusiastic over the plans for their work.
What was this organization, and what were these plans? If you were a new
student, at the beginning of the term, you could readily guess, for were
you not met at the station and escorted up to the Normal School? Did you
find any flowers in your room? And did you see the girls in the halls the
first day of School wearing a badge with the word "Guide" upon it?
CABINET OFFICERS OF THE Y. W. C. A. McAbee, Haycox, Pierce, Day, Nordeen,
Gebaroff, Vaughan, Thomasen, Sperry, Airth Chapin, Paulsen. Rohrbaugh Now
you know that this was a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet members. The
work of this Association started the first day and has continued
throughout the entire year. First, a reception for the Faculty and
students was given in September. The three hundred who were present were
welcomed by Miss Nordeen, the President of the Association, Dr. and Mrs.
Nash, members of the Advisory Board, and all the members of the Cabinet.
The color scheme was yellow and purple. This reception afforded the
opportunity of beioming acquainted, and friendships were begun which have
lasted throughout the year. During September and November, every Monday
evening, tea was served in the Y. W. C. A. rest-room. A group of young
ladies of the student-body, were invited each Monday, until all had been
served. These teas were very informal and the entertainment gave each
young Page Ninety-Four
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 95
----------
lady an opportunity to become acquainted with the Cabinet members and
others who were present. The first meeting of the year was held on Sunday,
September the thirteenth, with Miss Sperry as leader. She brought an
inspiring message from the Keswick Conference, which she attended in
England. At our first regular Thursday meeting we were fortunate in having
Dr. Norton, a medical missionary, from Korea, with us. Dr. Norton was
here on a visit to his sister, Miss Norton, of our School. The following
Thursday, Miss Paulson conducted a Bible Study Rally, and classes were
organized in various homes where the girls board. November fifth, a
recognition meeting was held. Miss Chapin, the Vice-President, presented
more than a hundred new members. They were received by the President,
Miss Nordeen, who gave a word of welcome. In harmony with other
associations throughout the world, we observed the World's Week of Prayer.
These meetings were opened on Sunday, November eighth, by Miss Sands, and
continued throughout the week. On the evening of November twentieth, our
annual banquet was held. Members of the Faculty, Advisory Board, and about
one hundred twenty-five young ladies were delightfully entertained in the
dining- room of Edens Hall. Miss EdnaoLawrence, a former Cabinet Member,
was our clever toast-mistress. Miss Elizabeth Fox, Student Secretary of
the Northwest, visited the Y. W. C. A., November twenty-second and
twenty-third. She held conferences with the Advisory Board and Cabinet
Members, and at the Thursday afternoon meeting she told us, in a very
vivid and interesting manner, of the work of Miss Mathews, who is General
Secretary in Japan. The Association has given seventy-five dollars toward
missionary work in Tokyo, Japan, and is paying the tuition of a little
native boy, who is attending a mission school in Cuba. The next event was
the Seventh Annual Bible Institute, which began February fourth. Mrs.
Addison Campbell opened these meetings, Miss Springer, the Y. W. C. A.
Secretary in Seattle, was also with us. Friday evening, Mr. Boyns, of
Seattle, gave an illustrated lecture on the authenticity of the Bible, his
subject being, "The Very Stones Cry Out." The meetings continued until the
seventh, and we were greatly strengthened by the inspiration brought to us
through the speakers. On February twenty-eighth we were favored by a visit
from Mr. McClelland, Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. He spoke
in the regular Assembly Monday, on "The Call to the Foreign Field." He
also spoke Friday afternoon. There were between one hundred ninety and two
hundred present. There is a Student Volunteer Band in our School and a
number of mission study classes. ,On Sehome Hill, Easter morning, there
was a sun-rise meeting. Over one hundred were present to hear Miss Sand's
inspiring Easter message. On Saturday evening, April tenth, Dr. Nash gave
an illustrated lec-ture on 'he Passion Play. The proceeds of this lecture
went toward helping our Association to furnish a room in the new City Y.
W. C. A. building. We have been fortunate this year in having many good
speakers, both from our own members, and from outside. Among them were the
Page Ninety-Five
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 96
----------
following: Miss Fox, Dr. Nash, Miss Wynn of the City Association, Mrs.
Campbell and Miss Springer of Seattle, Mrs. Billhorne, Miss Knowles, Mrs.
Wood and Mrs. McAbee of Seattle. In addition to the regular work of the
Y. W. C. A., there is a Cafeteria, which justifies its existance by its
practical service to the School. The meals are prepared by a regular cook,
and by four or five assistants, who work one period every day. The
Cafeteria has furnished luncheons for three meetings of the Advisory
Board, one for the Y. M. C. A., has given a banquet for the Cabinet
Members of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Associations, and entertained
several special speakers, making a total of about sixty-five guests.
Apple Day and Hallowe'en were celebrated by an extra fine luncheon. The
number served daily has run as high as one hundred twenty-five, the
average for the entire year being about eighty-five. Through the service
of the Cafeteria the Association has been able to meet numbers of the
student body and Faculty, to render loyalty and service to co-workers, to
the members of the Association, to the School, and to Christ, our beloved
Master, to whom we look for approval of our labors. The Cabinet Members
for 1915-16 are as follows: President - - - - - ALIENE PIERCE Vice
President - - - - - - ALMA ARMSTRONG Secretary - - - - - - - - - FRANCES

Afterglow (A Memory of Sunsets on Bellingham Bay.) Rachel Oxford-Van
Devanter. REFRAIN Skies like wild forgetmenots, at night so hung with
stars; Skies like the flag, in early morn, so crossed by crimson bars;
Skies like "the field of the Cloth of Gold," at noon so bright the sun;
But the skies that wake the soul to song Are the skies when the day is
done. I. Over the blue waves to the West, Where the Island hill top
nods, After the sun nas sunk to rest In the garden of the Gods, June's
own blossom in radiance grows Countless millions of them are spread-
(Divinest of flowers, the bright hued rose.) Shading from trembling pink to
red. Delicate masses of fragrant grace, They that were Rosemaids white
and frail, Apollo but turned them his smiling face And they blushed into
splendor along his trail. Earthward they turn, in their garments gay,
Till, silvering all of the world's far rim, Over the mountains, creeps
Twilight grey. The Sun God's sister following him. II. High from her
chariot, moonbeams drift Down on the gardens of the West, Down through the
sweet, sad, dusk they sift, Bidding the Rosemaids sink to rest. Over the
blue isles of the sea, Over the ships with their masts so tall, Moonlight
is falling tenderly- Diana's chaste fingers are over all Triumphs and
splendors alike are dim Troubles and heartaches of the day, Burning and
fresh in the hours just past, Gently and still-they are fading away Under
the skies so thick with stars, Pale yet-in the half light from the West,
Diana is healing Apollo's scars; Lulling resentful hearts to rest.
REFRAIN Skies like endless seas of blue-at night, so soft and dim; Skies
like clouds of fire, at morn, that rise from the crater rim; Skies like a
patch of Buttercups, at noon, so bright the sun But the skies that woo the
soul to rest Are the siies when the day is done. ?age Ninety-Eight

Thespian, Dramatic Club The Thespians! The Thespians! Who are the
Thespians? We are the Club of Cheers; We are the Club of tears; We are
the Club who wins the heart By our work in Dramatic Art. O with good
cheer and smiling faces we come again to the close of another successful
year. June is nearly here, and with its comes the roses and all the first
bloom of summer. But it is with a feeling of regret that we see this month
approaching, for it means our separation and the end of many of our good
times. Looking backward over the year's work we feel that it has been a
great success, and that we have accomplished much in the line of dramatic
work. The Thespian Club is not a club of a few active memberrs only, but a
club of thirty interested and enthusiastic workers. The first three months
were spent in the study of the "Movies," during which time roll call was
answered by a quotation from some well-known moving picture actor. Several
very interesting papers on the lives and works of some of our famous
"Movie" actors were also read. During the remaining time we took up the
study of the Modern Drama, which was entertaining as well as instructive.
This was a very small part of the work done by the Thespian Club. In
December, "A Christmas Carol" was given, which was a great success, and
enjoyed very much by everyone. During the month of April, under the
direction of Mrs. Smith, the Club presented three very interesting
productions: "The Work-House Ward," by Lady Gregory; "Confessions," by A.
Conan Doyle, and "The Land of Heart's Desire," by W. B. Yeats. "The
Work-House Ward" was a scene in an Irish poor-house. Walter Kelly was
Michael Mishell, and Harvey Leach was Mike McIntery, who suffered a great
deal from rheumatism. Both were inmates of the poor-house. Vera Clayton
was Honor Donohue, a sister of Michael Mishell, who mourned so much the
loss of "poor John," her deceased husband. "Confessions," was a comedy in
which a husband relates to his wife the experiences of his bachelor days.
Of these experiences, which referred to his former feminine attachments,
there seemed to be more than forty. The wife thereupon related her
experiences in a similar way, the effect of which produced a startling
effect upon her husband. Think of being left alone in a room with a young
man, seated upon his knee, and returning a kiss. The husband's anxiety was
relieved, however, when she explained that this experience occurred when
she was but a child of three. Thus it goes to show that the experiences of
one may appear very innocent in his own eyes, but very different when
viewed from the standpoint of another. Helena Rouse made a very charming
little wife, and Wallace Sutherland a handsome and devoted husband. Each
portrayed much talent for such work, and the characters were cleverly
represented. The heavy play of the evening "The Land of Heart's Desire,"
which One Hundred One
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 102

is founded upon folk tales common among the peasantry, that tell of young
brides being stolen away by fairies on May Eve. Marie, Shawn's young wife,
can find no content in the dull round of domestic duties, nor in the doting
love of her young husband. Living in dreamland, discontented, she calls
upon the fairies. The call is answered; the fairies come, and then begins
the struggle between the Priest and the Fairy Child for the spirit of
Marie. At last the child departs, taking Marie's spirit with her to
Fairyland. The play was well acted and those participating showed splendid
ability in dramatic interpretation. Cast of "The Land of Heart's Desire."

Our Club has been very fortunate in having as honorary members, Miss Hays,
Mrs. Smith, Miss Edens and Mr. Hulse, whose valuable assistance has
contributed much to the success of our year's work. The Thespian Club is
especially indebted to Mrs. R. W. Smith, the Faculty Adviser, for her
splendid leadership and deep interest in the success of the Club, and
wishes through the medium of THE KLIPSUN to extend td her our hearty and
sincere thanks. The social functions of the year was the pleasant evening
spent with Mrs. Smith at her home and the Valentine Party given at the
Club Rooms. Several picnics and beach parties are being planned for the
few weeks remaining of the School Year. So the year draws to its close,
and the Thespians must go their several ways; but they will carry with
them the memory of pleasant associations, and a profitable year's work;
also the consciousness of added strength for the work of the future, and a
readiness to enter the doors of opportunity which may open to them. Rah,
rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Is everybody here a Thespian? Rah, rah, rah,
rah, rah, rah! Is everybody here a Thespian? We're a jolly bunch all
right; We keep things humming day and night; That is why we keep a-saying
We put THE in Thespian. T-h-e-s-p-i-a-n till our throats are dry, We
still keep singing in the same old way. We are not the Irish kings, But
we are just the very things For we are, we are, we are Thespians! You
may be right, but are you sure everybody else is wrong? How do you suppose
a loafer feels when there is a holiday. One Hundred Two

MEMBERS OF THE PHILOMATHEAN CLUB One Hundred Four
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 105
----------
The Philomathean Club WHEN School opened in September, twenty-seven Philos
hailed each other in the halls-twenty-seven out of the forty who had said
good-bye in June. Philo-like, they got together immediately, and told all
the things they had been doing while away in the summer, and all the
things they hoped to do now that they were totogether with the winter
before them. That was the first meeting bulletined as "Vacation
Experiences." They wanted leaders for the work. days and the play-days
which they planned, so they elected J. H. Jones President, Anne Brown
Vice-President, Mosie Odle Secretary- Treasurer, Lew Greene Sergeant, and
G. F. D. Vander Mei attorney. Everybody worked together, as usual, and
things moved. In October the twenty-seven became forty, more than which
are never in the Club at one time. That was after the initiation. It is
through the initiation that ordinary people become Philos; therefore you
must know that it is an initiation, for Philos are never ordinary. On
November twenty-first, the Philos were the guests of Miss Jensen and Mr.
and Mrs. Philippi, their parents and aunt. The occasion was the fifth
birthday of the Club. Some of the Alumni, who had worked for the Club when
it was a younger and less sturdy infant, came in to help celebrate. There
were fair women and brave men, and toasts, and flowers, and all the
things that go to make a party just right. The Philo Club has never been
an athletic organization. That is not its purpose, but this year, when
publicly challenged before all the School to play basketball, the Philo
boys responded by defeating the challenging Thespians, while the Philo
girls overwhelmed the Thespian girls and Alkisiahs by tremendous scores.
Let it be said again, the Philomatheans do not consider themselves
athletes, they do not even aspire to be such; but they are exceedingly
versatile, so future challengers, Beware! About this time news came that
the Belgians were in desperate condition as a result of war. The Philos,
although closely attached to each other, are not selfish, and the report
touched them. They answered the call with a public program, to which they
charged ten cents admission, and the students turned out in such numbers
that it was possible to advance forty-three dollars to those who are in
need. The Officers for the Second Semester have been Mr. Shimmin,
President; Helen Brown, Vice-President; Miss Houghton, Secretary-
Treasurer; Mr. Greene, Sergeant-at-Arms; Mr. Nevins, Attorney. They have
served faithfully and well. The Valentine Party was February twelfth.
Although the Club enjoys many minor social affairs during the year, this
was the second elaborate function. It was elaborate, body-and-soul
satisfying. Hearts ruled, and Philos were willing subjects. The first
picnic of the year was on Washington's Birthday, when the Philos hiked to
the top of Mount Chuckanut. The day dawned cold and forbidding, but found
only determination in Philo hearts, so One Hundred Five
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 106
----------
abandoned its dread purpose and smiled benignly. The day was a rare one,
well spent and not to be forgotten. The year is not ended as this goes to
press. More projects will come to light and be carried happily through.
Picnics and parties are ahead. But that is not all. Picnics and parties
are merely the frosting that covers the more substantial stuff beneath.
Every second Thursday, all through the year, the Philos have met for
purposes of mutual education and entertainment. The programs have been
worthy and without exception have left a message. They will continue to do
so to the end of the year. After it is all combined and summarized, all
the year's activity, the questions may fittingly be asked: What is the
meaning of all this? What comes of it? Is it worth while? It means that
throughout the year forty people have come together and given the best
that they have to each other. Through this it means the enrichment of
forty lives-the best accumulated thought and experience of each one of
forty transmitted to every other one. It has meant happy hours, congenial
fellowship, healthful work, and healthful play in company with kindred
spirits. It has meant that forty people have felt the influence of one
whose very existence spells service, one who must be known to be
appreciated, Miss Jensen, the Club Supervisor and fountain-head of its
life. What comes of it? Lasting friendship. Memories that will not be
dulled while consciousness remains. An endless chain of people going out,
bearing like ideals and purposes. Few of the twenty-seven who came to the
Club this year from last year will be among the forty next year. The new
members this year, those above the twenty-seven, will be the old members
next year. And so in the following years. But there is no complete break.
The one purpose is being advanced from personality to personality through
it all. Is it worth while? Time alone can answer. But if present standards
possess any ultimate value, the answer will be, Yes! "May this life bring
you all the happiness you can stand, and only enough sorrow to show you
the difference." One Hundred Six

Alkisiah Emblem THE year 1914-15 marks the most successful year in the
history of our Club, it being the oldest Club in the Normal School. This
organization began its year's work with but a few old members, as a large
majority of Alkisiahs are holding positions of importance throughout the
State. A public meeting was held shortly after the opening of the School
year. New members were admitted and the officers were elected for the
first semester. Joyce Day held the executive position, and Elizabeth
Eggers, now an Alumni, acted as Vice- President, with Margaret Adams as
hostess. Committees were appointed and these went to work with a will,
and planned the work. The first function was a lawn party, where all
became acquainted. We incidentally planted the bulbs for the Narcissus
Sale at the same time. Next came the initiation, which was only approached
by the one of the second Semester as to originality and devices. Miss
Baker's home, too, with its alluring fire-place, seemed to have a charm of
which the girls were never tired, especially with the pleasing hostesses
there, ever-ready to welcome us. The Narcissus Sale was a financial
success. A chafing-dish luncheon, the last social function of the first
Semester, was cleverly planned by a committee, at the time of the election
of new officers. Besides these social performances we had instructive
programs every two weeks. These were based on the present-day problems,
and were both musical and literary. The keen interest shown throughout by
the members, demonstrated the quality of the programs. It goes to evince
the capabilities of the Consuls, who had these in charge. These were the
Misses Ethel Phillip, Arleen Cusick, Anna Breum, and Harriet Mendenhall for
the first Semester. Gene Hicker, Maude Manley, Maretta Cook and Phoebe
Reed discharged these duties the second Semester; both committees being
ably assisted by our Faculty Adviser, Miss Baner. As part of her work as
Secretary, Donna Pratt recorded these events. Miss Blake skilfully
proceeded with the writing for the second Semester, and the Alkisiahs of
the future will read of the great achievements of the Alkisiahs of
1914-15. We were also represented in The Mcssenqer every issue by our
worthy Reporters, Maretta Cook and "Merry" Day, respectively. The second
Semester found Miss Phillips as presiding officer, while Clara Fagstad
ably assisted her. In appreciation of her artistic ability Miss Lola Moy
was re-elected as Chairman of the Poster Committee. Miss Arleen Cusick
took the place of Margaret Adams, as hostess. Committees were then duly
appointed to prepare for our annual banquet; a custom which was
established by our Club. This banquet One Hundred Nine
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 110
----------
is given by the Under-Classmen, and Alumni, with the Alkisiah Seniors and
Faculty members as the "guests of honor." It was held March twentieth, at
six-thirty P. M. At that hour all had assembled in the Club-room, from
whence each Under-Classman escorted a guest of honor down to the
dining-room. Our honored Principal, Dr. Nash, and President, Miss Ethel
Phillips, led the procession. The entertainment between the courses showed
further the ability of the Club, and the after-dinner speeches made a
profound impression, showing the prevailing spirit among its members.
Still another committee had been at work, and after our splendid repast,
we enjoyed a social hour, which will long be remembered. Other events of
the season were: The Valentine Party, the trip to Lummi Island, to Miss
Baker's summer home, and our picnic on Chuckanut Mountain. Then last, but
by no means least, was the presentation of "The Bird Sanctuary," a play of
the highest type and very modern. The success of this new and novel play
was due to the faithfulness of those taking part, and the loyal support
of the Club Members. Thus we end this year, as it was begun, with a spirit
of loyalty and harmony. One Hundred Ten

Miss HAYS ERE we are musing over the joyful and interesting events of a
well-filled year, and it seems only a short time since that first large
meeting, where we were all seated aroung a long table with lights. Dainty
refreshments were served, while we listened to the vacation experiences of
our members, and the new members keenly appreciated the warm welcome
extended them by the old members. Little we realized the pleasure in store
for us then. One of the greatest events of the year was the
never-to-be-forgotten evening spent in the home of Dr. Mathes, where we
were entertained with a pipeorgan recital, given by Mrs. Mathes, assisted
by her daughter, Virginia. Then came the initiation! Oh, but it was
startling, mysterious and funny! We were again initiated into the spirit
of the H. L. S., when Miss Hays entertained us at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Ludwig. Fol- One Hundred Thirteen

lowing a time-honored custom of the Club, we sang the old songs in the
uncertain light of the fireplace. So much happened and so little room in
which to tell it. Our meetings held on every other Thursday evening were
very instructive and intensely interesting. Some of the subjects discussed
this year were: "The Famous Actors and Plays Coming to Bellingham," "Ella
Higginson," "American Music," "Conditions in Europe," "Peace," "Birds,"
and "Social Work in America." The Christmas Party in the Faculty Room,
had the real Yule-tide spirit. We all received a gift from the beautiful
tree and enjoyed our candy, nuts and pop-corn, while we sang the old
carols before the open fire. The banquet given in the dining-room of the
Domestic Science Department, was a splendid success. The color scheme was
beautifully worked out in violet and cream, the Club Colors. Dr. and Mrs.
Nash and the three Mid-Years, Misses Lewis, Ziese and Eaves, were our
guests of honor. A number of the Alumni members were present also. Then
came the charming Valentine Party given the Club by an Alumni member, Miss
Lillian Grue. The pleasure freshest in our memory is the delightful
evening spent with Miss Mead, near St. Patrick's Day. There are good
programs yet to come, closing with our annual banquet. We deeply
appreciate the educational and social advantages afforded us by this
year's work, and most of all, the fellowship of our Faculty members, Misses
Hays, Norton, Mead, Baxter, Sands, and Nickerson, and Mrs. Termaat; and
our thirty loyal, kind-hearted girls. JUNE MATHENY, Reporter. One Hundred

Chelan County Club SFTER School had started last fall, and the numerous
mixers had begun, at which each one came labeled with her name and
address, to make herself known, each girl from Chelan County discovered,
to her surprise, that there were others from the land of the Big Red
Apples. Immediately the idea of a Chelan County Club was thought of, and
the first meeting was held with Edith Brisky and Vida Reid, at Tarte Hall.
As there were only eight of us, we deter-mined from the start that
quality, not quantity, should count with us, and it has. Unanimously we
chose Miss Montgomery as our Club Adviser, and now, at the end of the
year, we feel more than ever that our choice could not have been a better
one, for our memories of the good times spent with her are the
pleasantest. At the end of the first Semester, Miss Calla Van Cleave, who
was a Mid-Year graduate, left us to fill a vacancy in the Cosmopolis
school. We have kept in close touch with her, through "round robin"
letters, which we have enjoyed receiving and answering. During the winter
we have met once a month at the homes of the different members, but before
the year is over, we expect to have enjoyed picnic trips to Toad Lake,
Lummi Island, and other such places. The members of the Club are Ethel
Milner, Florence Redford, Frances McCorkle, Edith Brisky, Anabel Rice,
Myrtle Hayden, Calla Van Cleave, Miss Montgomery, Vida Reid. In June,
when we all scatter to our homes, we know that our memories of the Chelan
County Club will be among the pleasantest of our School year. Delphian
Literary Society The Society known as Delphian was rather quiet during
the first weeks of the School year. Did you think that it was therefore
worn out, discouraged, or dead? Far fram it. That this inactivity was but
a resting spell, a hibernation, from which it has issued refreshed and
invigorated, later history has proven. Even the omission of celebrating
its third anniversary with suitable pomp and ceremony, did not mean that
society enthusiasm had died out, nor so much as smouldered. The efficient
management of the President, who holds such firm, yet graceful, sway over
all gatherings, the zeal and skill of the Vice-President, Grand Maker of
Programs, with her assistant committee, and the serviceable good-will of
the Secretary, have made the meetings since Christmas worth while. Even
leaders, however, could have done little were it not for the cheerful aid
of the other officers and of many of the girls who have shown themselves
so reliable in their work, so willing in their spirit. All this has made
our business meetings more successful than ever before. We have had to
part with several of our valued members, to let them join organizations
in the Normal proper, and we miss them sorely. Yet we hope that their
successors may prove as progressive, as talented, as they. Next year we
hope to exceed this year's attainments, making the name "Delphian" to stand
not only for a means of bringing out our talents, but for very happy
memories. One Hundred 'ifteen

Social-Democratic Club ALTHOUGH the Social-Democratic Club was late in
getting organized last fall, it has not been the least of the School
organizations. Our first meeting was held November fourteenth, in Mrs.
Thatcher's room. There were seven charter members present. Since then, our
roll has grown to twenty-seven members. The aim and purpose of the
Social-Democratic Club is to study and promote an interest in Socialism
and Social Problems. During our numerous meetings of the year, we have had
many alive, interesting questions of the day discussed. The open forum at
the close of each meeting has proved instructing and interesting. The
following is a calendar of the talks we have had during the year:
December 22, Reading, "The Weavers," Mrs. Smith; "War," Claude Manley; "A
$2,000 Wage," Albert Utike. February 4. "How a Great American Fortune Was
Made." Mrs. Termaat; "Dreams and Builders," Ben Tidball. February 18,
"Charlotte Perkins Gilman," Miss Baker; "Personal Observations of Child
Labor," Mr. Mair; "Why American Mothers Fail," Mrs. Bleam. March 4,
"Parasites," Miss Norton; "What Ford Wages Have Done," Vida Reid. March
18, "Community Center Work," Miss Montgomery; "A New School for the
Workers," Claude Manley; Reading, "Her Letter," Inez Herre. April 8,
"Social Responsibility," Dr. Ruge. April 15, "The Associated Press," Mr.
Hungerford; "Initiative and Referendum in Oregon," Mr. Van Pelt. To the
Misses June Matheny, Grace Munson, Olive Bowman, and Drake, we are
grateful for the musical numbers on our programs. Sometime in May the Club
will have a picnic at the Eldridge Avenue Beach. We are all looking
forward to a fine time. As the Club closes this successful year, we leave
our best wishes for the success of next year's organization, and express
our appreciation of the support of the various members of the Faculty
throughout this year. One Hundred Seventeen

installation of the new officers of the Students Association, on May
first, Nineteen-Fifteen, marked the close of the most successful
administration in the history of the Association. The financial, social
and athletic activities of the students were handled in a manner that
reflects nothing but credit upon the retired Board of Control.
Ex-President Greene was tireless in the service of the students, patiently
and perseveringly fostering School Spirt, giving unselfishly of his time
and energy for the advancement of the Association. His efforts were ably
seconded by the remainder of the Board. The students were most fortunate in
the Faculty members, one of whom they have re-elected; the other member to
be chosen by the Faculty. Their judgment and business insight have been
indispensable. Following are the duties and prerogatives of the Students'
Association at the present time. These are but brief: The maintenance of a
book-store in the building for the convenience of the students; publishing
The Messenger monthly; the direction of athletics, and the promotion of
the social side of student life. Under the passed regime, the book-store
has reached the highest state of efficiency yet attained. This was due to
the business ability of Page One Hundred Twenty-One
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 122
----------
A. Hall Smith, Manager of the store. His methods were responsible for an
increase in the volume of business. There was always courteous treatment
accorded the patrons, which added an advance over previous years. The
Messenger was attractively written, cleverly illustrated, and artistically
printed. The credit for this should be given rather to the Editors, Staff,
and Business Manager, than the student body as a whole. Miss Frances Green
had charge of the paper the entire year, and proved a most worthy editor.
To Mr. C. C. Baughman, Business Manager, should be given great
commendation, for The Messenger has never before reached such a high state
of efficiency. This was due to the energies and capabilities of Mr.
Baughman. The athletic ventures, during the year, were the most successful
ever known in the Normal School. The Football team played a full season,
and the Basketball and Baseball teams were to be congratulated on their
very superior work. Financially, Basketball, Baseball and Track were
self-supporting, and Football was nearer on a paying basis than ever
before in the history of the School. The Students' Association welcomed
the students at the beginning of the School Year with a Mixer; sent them
home for the Holidays with memories of a Christmas party and tree, in
their minds; then a Marathon to Chuckanut in the spring. At Mid-Year Mr.
G. F. D. Vander Mei and Miss Calla Van Cleave finisihed their School work,
and therefore retired from the offices of Secretary and Vice-President.
Mrs. Vaughn and Miss Ruth Conner were chosen and proved very efficient
successors. Report of General Fund Receipts- Balance from 1913-1914

The Oratorio of Elijah THE heaviest musical entertainment ever attempted
by the Bellingham Normal was the Oratorio of Elijah, given March
nineteenth, nineteen-fifteen, under direction of the head of the
Department of Music, Mrs. Florence Fox Thatcher. The chorus of eighty-five
voices was assisted by soloists from the City of Bellingham, and
accompanied by Mrs. W. Bridge Jones, at the piano; and by a picked
orchestra of twenty pieces under the direction of Mine. Davenport-Engberg,
widely known for her organization and leadership of the Symphony
Orchestra, of this City. For months the chorus had been rehearsing
weekly, and when the test came, was not found wanting in volume, attack,
shading, dramatic quality, or any other technicality of ensemble work.
Three choruses, "Bael, We Cry to Thee," "He Leaveth the Thirsty Land," and
"Be Not Afraid," were especially well done. Of the solos, the heaviest
part, that of Elijah, was very ably executed by Mr. C. B. Harter,
baritone, who portrayed the deep feeling of pathos and triumph with much
expression. Mr. Harrison Raymond took the tenor solos, singing two heavy
arias with fervor and keen appreciation. Miss Irene Hurd's rich contralto
was at its best in the aria, "O, Rest in the Lord," and in the trio, "Lift
Thine Eyes," sung without accompaniment by Miss Hurd, Mrs. Nash, and Mrs.
Deerwester. The soprano solos were taken by Mrs. G. W. Nash and Mrs. Frank
Deerwester, of our own Faculty circle. The latter ably met the expectation
of the audience that her participation in former musical events warranted.
The duet, "Help Me, Man of God," sung with Mr. Harter, was particularly
well rendered. While this was Mrs. Nash's first appearance with the Normal
Chorus, the ease, grace, and power with which she sang, "Hear Ye, Israel,"
one of the heaviest arias ever written, has already given her an enviable
reputation. Altogether the occasion was one worthy of long remembrances,
and of the hearty congratulations that have come to the Director for the
excellent rendition of the best and most difficult thing of the kind ever
given in Bellingham. Much praise is due Mrs. Thatcher for her successful
accomplishment and her great service, both to the City and the School in
assuming the responsibility of the undertaking, and in bringing our
Institution in line in this respect with the largest and best schools of
the country. And it was with great pleasure that the Chorus later
acknowledged its debt to Mrs. Thatcher by presenting her a beautiful
ornamented baton as a token of appreciation for her labor and service.

The Glee Club THE members of the Glee Club are looking forward to the
breaking U of the season with sadness, and looking backward to all the
good times we have had with gladness. The history of the Club has not
been as eventful as in years gone by, but each event has been of
importance and the members have all thoroughly enjoyed the Club throughout
the year. The first meeting was held on the twenty-fourth of September.
October first was the first business meeting and the following officers
were elected: Mr. Lewis Gloman, President; Mr. M. F. Odle, Secretary-
Treasurer. At the same meeting it was decided that we meet every Thursday
evening at six-thirty o'clock. This plan has been rigidly followed.
November twelfth we were invited to the home of Mr. Lewis Gloman, and
there spent a most enjoyable evening. November nineteenth was spent at the
home of Mrs. Thatcher, our most capable Director, where we were most
royally entertained. We also became acquainted with the brand-new
grand-son of our Director, and at once voted him into the Club as an active
member. His father says that he is a credit to the Club, as he bursts out
in song every once in a while. Friday, December eighteenth, the Club made
its first public appearance, when we rendered two selections from the
Emerson Collection. January thirtieth, the second business meeting and
election of officers was held. The officers who had so capably filled the
offices the first Semester, were unanimously elected to serve another
term. March second was the date of our second appearance, when we sang at
the regular Tuesday afternoon musicale. This is the history of the Club,
as we go to press, but history is still in the making. Page One Hundred

The Choral Club THIS year the Choral Club, under the direction of Mrs.
Thatcher, has spent one of the most profitable years in the history of its
existence. During the first Semester there were more members enrolled
than ever before. The Club has preserved all the old traditions by doing
its duty in supplying music for an occasional Assembly, or evening
entertainment, and for Commencement, and gave its Annual Recital this year
in May. Besides this, the Club has started two customs which it hopes to
have continued in the future years. The one is the weekly program, by two
or three members of the Club. This has proved a great success, for
besides the many delightful musical numbers which have been rendered, there
have been many instructive and interesting papers read. The second custom
is the adding of some little touch to the Music Room, which will give it a
more Club-like appearance. This year the Club has placed a burlap covering
over part of the blackboard, and the pictures of musicians, which have
been placed on it, add greatly to the attractiveness of the room. Nor has
the Club been too busy working to spend some of its time socially. The
afternoon spent at Mrs. Thatcher's will always remain one of the most
pleasant memories of this year. Mrs. Thatcher has also shown splendid
taste in the slection of music this year, and the afternoons spent in
learning it have been an inspiration to every member of the Club. The
Normal Ladies' Quartet THE Quartet, composed of Eva McAbee, Naomi Platt,
Ethyl Martin, K and Alma Armstrong, has been one of the busiest
organizations this year. Besides appearing at the Normal on different
occasions, they have been called upon frequently to sing for
entertainments given in the City. Among the first of these was the
reception given to Dr. Nash, by the Faculty and the people of Bellingham.
Later on they sang at the Y. M. C. A. several times, once giving an entire
program for the Lecture Course there. The pleasantest time of the year,
however, was when, with Mrs. Thatcher, their Director, and Helen Foster as
accompanist, they gave a recital in the school- house at Lawrence, a small
town about fourteen miles from Bellingham. Incidentally there was a candy
sale afterwards, and it would be safe to say that they received their
share. Nor will the Quartet forget very soon how they had to help shove
the big car around the school-yard in order to persuade the engine to
start for home. For it was one of those clear December nights when engines
seem to have an aversion to being aroused from their evening nap. But once
the engine was started, it played an accompaniment to the quartet songs
all the way home. The Quartet also worked up some sacred numbers, and
furnished the Easter programs for the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. afternoon
services. At present, with the aid of Charlotte Hill, they are working on
the quintet, "Winken, Blynken and Nod," by Ethelbert Nevin. This promises
to be one of the best numbers of the year, and will be given at the Annual
Recital of the Choral Club. Page One Hundred Forty-'lhree

Choral Club Concert THE Choral Club of the Normal School, under the
direction of Mrs. Thatcher gave the final concert of the school year at
the Normal, May nineteenth. The first part of the program consisted of
choruses, violin numbers by Miss Mathes, and solos by the Misses
Bergstrom, Platt, Docherty and Armstrong. Miss Armstrong was accompanied
by the Misses Martib on the mandolin and harp-guitar. A very pleasing
number was the quintet, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," sung by the Ladies
Quartet and Miss Hill, and accompanied by Miss Green and Miss Lemon. The
second part of the program was the beautiful cantata, "The Garden of
Flowers," by Denza, the solos being taken by Miss Hill and Miss Martin.
The concert was one of the best ever given by the Choral Club, and
represented careful and painstaking study. The voices were well blended in
the chorus work, and the solos revealed some of the best talent of the
school. There was a very large and appreciative audience, and the stage
decorations were by far the most artistic that have ever been placed on
the Normal platform. Page One Hundred Forty-Four

May Sunset To-night, O God, we watched your master hand Stain all the
vast, still sweep of western sky With pigments wrought in the Eternal
Mind; Conceived divinely and divinely laid In broad, swift strokes upon
the concave plain Environing the world. We turned and watched The
ever-changing canvas of the sky, Forgetting the monotony of toil In
following the thought you made for us: Fire-ships sailing on a green
dream-sea, From Nowhere unto Nowhere outward bound; Bold headlands topped
by lofty battlements; Enchanted cities rising from the sands, Rearing
tower and spire and minaret To catch the myriad gleamings on their tips
And combine them in a splendid flame!- Softening your lines, you let them
go, Blending all the tints and hues and shades In opalescent lights and
amber glow- Hints of pearl upon a field of mauve. The shadows
lengthening upon the slopes Flowed into the valleys, forming there Pools
of purple mystery; the mists Crept in, the shadows deepened; it was Night!

Rolling Down to Rio By RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER First Prize Story
Yes weekly from Southampton Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling
down to Rio. (Roll down, roll down to Rio), And I'd like to roll to Rio,
Some day before I'm old." -Rudyard Kipling. SHE was startled, for she had
fancied herself all alone. She wondered who it was, huddled there by the
rail, in the rainy, star-darkness of the winter night. It was twelve
o'clock, and the few young people aboard,-a young missionary from the
States, three school teachers, and another young woman, who, like herself,
had left New York to work on the "Feature side" of a great South American
daily, had gone to bed hours before. The boat would dock at Rio in the
morning. Earnestine wondered, therefore, who it could be, and having the
typical newspaper girl's curiosity, she walked swiftly, and noiselessly,
up the deck until she stood almost behind the strange figure. In the
purple light of a mingled dark and star-glow, she saw that it was a man; a
big chap, humped against a great coil of cable, wet from the recent tropic
rain. "Blue!" thought Ernestine. "Deep in the doldrums, poor chap! I
wonder who he is? Must be somebody in the first-cabin list. I can't seem to
make out--" As she slowly made her way towards him, the man thrust a hand
in his pocket, and drew out something. There was a glimmer in the
starlight. Ernestine sensed, more than saw, the pistol. It was in the set
of his shoulders-that rigidity of the human about to deal Death to
himself. Restraining the desire to rush madly at him, grab the revolver,
and hurl it miles deep in the sea, the girl remained calm. "Don't do it!"
she said, as quietly as if she had asked him not to smoke. The effect was
startling. To the man, who had imagined himself entirely alone-this quiet
order seemed to issue from supernatural realms. Like a frightened child,
he put the pistol down, and waited,- not even turning his head. The
stillness seemed charged with the magnetic quality of his great awe.
"Make your voice businesslike," urged her intuition. "Be very ordinary and
everyday about it all, or there is no telling what he will do." Page One
Hundred Forty-Seven
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 148
----------
Accordingly Ernestine went quickly to the rail, picked up the little
deathdealer, emptied it, and slipped it into the pocket of her raincoat.
As she did this she spoke again. He was looking at her now, quietly,
almost impassively-and the girl recognized him with a start. He did not
speak, so she continued rapidly, albeit slightly disconcerted by the
knowledge that she was addressing one of the most celebrated men in the
world. "I didn't suppose you ever got rash, and wanted to do terrible
things, like an ordinary mortal!" she said swiftly but very soberly-- "And
I realize that this interruption would seem unpardonable under ordinary
conditions, but you know-" she put a hand of fellowship on his shoulder,
"I couldn't let you do it! I simply couldn't!" Something very like
wistful appeal crept into the great man's eyes, reducing him to boyhood in
the clear gaze of the kindly person who watched. Though Ernestine had
known and talked with many of the great ones of earth in her capacity of
journalist-never by hook or crook had she been able to get near this man
in professional guise before. In the morning, after it was all over-she
would doubtless look back upon this moment of contact with the greatest
financial genius of the age, as her supreme professional achievement. But
her newspaper loyalty had left her now-displaced by an emotion far
greater; loyalty to humanity. This great man had lifted to her a face of
appeal. He turned her, by the urgency of his need, into adviser, helper,
and guardian. Into her heart swept that feeling of human brotherhood, one
of the truest and rarest emotions to which the race is heir. She was his
sister now; he was her brother! "It's hard luck, old chap!" she said, "But
you take my advice and follow the homely old saying straight to the end!
Just grin and bear it, old fellow; grin and bear it!" At that the man
completely gave way. Ernestine comforted him the best she knew, and they
sat side by side until the dawn arose above the ocean's eastern edge,--in
perfect sympathy, the greatest money-maker of the age, and the New York
newspaper girl,-while they threshed out a probable tragedy between them.
Often the man grew desperate as he told the story of his stealthy
undermining by business associates. A chance wireless picked up by the
operator since the Kismet had left Southampton, had brought him the
realization that his hard-worked-for triumph was about to topple. The man,
whose greatest boast had been that he could surmount all obstacles but
Death, was about to go down to defeat. Only a miracle could save him. If
his son had sold certain stocks, according to orders given by cable just
before he had left London, all would be swept away. "But, perhaps,"
suggested the girl, "Perhaps he hasn't done it?" "Oh, he has done it
alright," replied the great man, a shadow of grim sorrow falling across
his face. "He's no good for anything else! Obeying orders is all he ever
could do decently! No mind of his own on him at all. Now, if Antoinette
had been the boy, instead of Berk-if she had been the boy, all would be
well!" "Somehow," continued the South American speculatively, "You
reminded me of her when you called me 'Old Chap,' there, and put your hand
on my shoulder. That was the way Tony would have done. She rage One
Hundred Forty-Eight
----------

was rarely respectful, and it was such a blessed relief to come home to
her-after months of European deferentialism." "World deferentialism, you
mean," corrected Ernestine; then suddenly, "Where is Tony?" she asked.
"Tony?" questioned the man. "Why, Tony's dead!" he answered. Then, as he
saw the look of manifest sorrow spring to the girl's eyes: "Don't be
sorry for that!" he said sternly. "Be glad! Be glad as I am glad! that she
has been spared this night and the day to follow. The sight of her father
lying wrecked! Oh, my God! Absolutely wrecked! And no man's blood or brain
to follow me, on all this earth- just Berk!" He bent his head on his arms
in absolute agony, and for a time the girl sat nerve-racked and quiet, by
his side. Then she laid her hand once more upon his arm. "If the Dead do
come back to try and help those they love," she said softly, "it must be
through the voices of the living. I am sure that Tony would say the things
I am saying to you, if she could! I am not plain Ernestine Rand any more.
I am Tony Chavez,-beautiful, dashing, every bit as lovely as before!
Listen!" she said, as she shook him gently. "Listen, Old Chap, to me! I am
Tony! Do you hear, I am TONY! And you spoke of being a wreck. Now, though
I feel in my very bones that you will see Berk's smiling face the first
thing when you dock at Rio, telling you all is well, still I cannot resist
this chance to philosophize out loud." The girl smiled at him and with
one hand made sure that the pistol still reposed safely in his pocket of
her raincoat. "There was a wreck! Only we never call it that! It was far
too splendid a testament to modern Knight and Ladyhood to be called a
mere wreck. "I was working on a paper in New York that spring-and I can
never forget it! It was so awful; but it was so splendid too! It made us
almost wish that we too had had a chance to go down aboard it! And when
the story of the brave fellows in the band-who played on and on into the
starlit night until the water came up over them,--" the girl paused
choking. "Oh, weren't they the brave knights, though!" she exclaimed-
"Weren't they every bit as fine and true and wonderful as the ones who
rode with the crusaders, centuries ago? I think so," she continued,
battling against the rising tide of her own emotions, as she saw her
efforts to arouse the great man becoming successful. "I think so!" she
repeated, her blue eyes bright with tears, "And Old Chap, that's how I
want you to go down, if go down it has to be, with colors flying and the
band playing! The way you've lived. Don't disappoint the hero worshipers
of the world! Be to them still their Greatest! Promise me that! Why, if
you will, Life will always be worth living, no matter what. Promise, Old
Chap!" she commanded, then waited, with perfect confidence in him shining
from her soul. Suddenly the man stretched out his hand to her. "I do
promise," he said. "I do promise you, Tony," came with softer intonation,
and he stood up, and as a big Newfoundland shakes the water off after a
plunge in the deep, he shook from himself the Page One Hundred Forty-Nine
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 150
----------
great mists of indecision that had clouded the horizon of his mind. He
stood, and the girl saw how large; how well-nigh gigantic, he was, in
comparison to other men. Ernestine grew suddenly afraid. She shyly took
him by the hand, her mission not yet finished. "One thing more," she said.
"Yes," he asked almost patiently. "Be nice to Berk, please, and give him
just half a chance-just half a chance, please!" He did not reply, but
looked at her across a great distance, magnanimous, kind, beneficent; the
conscious world-power settling again upon his brow like a coronet. She
was no longer a person to be reckoned with, to be thought much about. She
was just a common little newspaper girl from New York;-and the sun was up
over the edge of the world again, making a path of gold across the waves
to the edge of the rail. A white sea-bird arose from the deck, cried out,
and circled above their heads several minutes, its fair breast shining in
the dawn, before it flew off across the waves,-straight toward the rising
sun; flying low, and dipping silver wings in the gold of the ocean path as
it went. "That way, Tony went," thought Ernestine, and she nodded him a
formal, perfunctory farewell. When the boat docked at Rio six hours later
and the white-clad journalist was being received most cordially by members
of that great free lance fraternity-someone was kind enough to point out
to her the "Great Chavez," as he got into his car beside his cheerfully
grinning son. "The greatest financial genius of the age," murmured a
fellow journalist in her ear. "And only two reporters in the world today
know how near he came to ruin over night" Ernestine smiled and looked
properly impressed. "I hope both of you are on 'our sheet,' " she said
laughingly, asserting her new-born loyalty for "La Prensa." "Indeed yes,
but it does us no good, for we can't tell. Chavez is the real owner of 'La
Prensa,' you know." "No, I did not know, but I'm mighty glad; for he's a
good old chap!" she added lightly, as their car moved off the dock behind
the glass-enclosed limousine of the "Greatest Man of the Age." It's good
to have money, and the things that money can buy; but it's good, too, to
check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money
can't buy.- Lorimer. The Lord hates a quitter, but he doesn't hate him
son, When the quitter's quitting something that he shouldn't have begun.

Necklace of Hours Hours like pearls sift thru my hands, Hours all strung
on a gold-linked day; Some are white and some are black, Some are tinted
and some are gray; But all are pure, whether colored or fair, And each
one glows in a link of gold That moving brightly thru the air Whispers
the day is growing old. Each morn my angel guardian hangs About my neck
the twelve sweet hours; At eve she takes them off and fills My hands with
fragrant dreamland flowers. And gently, tenderly, she lays The tarnished
links and pearls away In Memory's Casket hid in dusk So near to Dreams,
so far from day. Only at night I visit there And in the shadows name my
beads In joy or penitence, as I Look o'er the good and evil deeds That
filled my chain and carved each link And chastened all my pearls so fair
Tho sad my soul, Hope springs afresh And all my heart looks up in prayer.
That Morrow's spotless chain of gold Prove at the even' just as bright!
And that my Pearls, strung on at Dawn, May be immaculate at night! RACHEL

Flowers From Port Arthur By RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER. Second Prize
Story I have them yet, the handful of faded, little- pressed blossoms that
came to me clear across the Pacific, from the battlefield of Port Arthur.
There was a sad little story that came with them, of an educated Japanese
girl, and her soldier lover, who with his own hands gathered the wild
Japanese for-get-me-nots of mine, outside the prison yard, for Moto San.
Leslie told me the story for future relation, and took such pains to
obtain a handful of the blue flowers for me besides. Leslie was born in
Japan, and lives in Yokohama now, and among her friends she counted little
Moto San, one of the first, best, and dearest. The dainty, colorful,
little lady of Japan said good-bye to her soldier before he left on board
the transport with his General, for Port Arthur, and she saw him go
gladly, and without tears, for the tiny Japanese women are just as
gloriously brave and patriotic in time of trouble as the men. "You will
come back," she said hopefully; and he replied that the first blue flowers
of spring would herald him, for he thought, as did the world, that the war
would be of longer duration than it proved to be. "Do not forget," she
repeated slowly, and then he went away. She waited. News came of the
victory of Port Arthur, of the final defeat of the Russians, and the
Nation wept for joy at first, and then for sorrow, as the ships of death
steamed back to Yoho, with their ghastly burdens. Moto San wept too;
first for joy, and then for sorrow, as the days went by, and there came
no word from Okim. She herself went to ships in search of his body, to the
despair of her parents, who deplored again and again the foreign ways of
Moto San, and called on their mighty ancestors to forgive them for ever
educating her in barbaric America. Moto's search was vain, but hope had
not yet died. She had not really expected to find Okim on the death ships,
partly because she could not believe him dead; partly because she knew he
was not an officer, and that even if he were dead, his body would be
buried on the field, instead of being returned to Yoho. Months passed;
then one day in early April, a ship flying the Russian flag, and bearing
prisoners of war, came steaming into the harbor. Moto San was the first
woman at the docks, in her great hope of Okim's coming; for already in the
fields the blue flowers were springing, and had he not given that as a
signal of his approach! But he was not there, and Moto San returned
homeward with a heavy heart. She was not kept long in wondering, however,
for that Page One Hundred Fifty-Two
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 153
----------
night in the tea-garden, a package was handed her by an officer-friend,
who had received it with orders to give it in secret to Moto San. The
writing was that of Okim, and Moto hurried homeward to open it. She found
inside the blue flowers I have told you of, also a letter from Okim,
telling her that he had been condemned to die as a spy, and that, under
guard, he had managed to gather the blue flowers for her, outside the
prison walls. "By the time these reach you," he had written in the
language of tneir adoption, "I shall be lying under the grass of the
prison yard, outside the fort. Some day, perhaps, you may visit here, and
plant the wild for-get-me-nots above my heart. 0, Moto San! I am not
afraid to die! My loves goes with the blue flowers to you. Treasure them
for the sake of our past and the future that might have been. Farewell!"
And that was all. No name; nothing that could ever tell to un-friendly
minds the possible origin of the lines. Okim, knowing that Moto San, being
the daughter of wealthy and prominent parents, would in all likelihood be
forced to marry; had carefully avoided anything that might throw
difficulties in her path; for when a Japanese girl is believed to have had
a lover, no other man will marry her. The precautions of Okim, though
kindly, were of no avail, for Moto San died in June, with the death of the
cherry blossoms, and everybody said that her soul had blown away into "The
Land of Dead Flowers," and prayed that her life there would be blessed
with all beauty and gladness. Leslie laid the letter in the folds of the
dress in which Moto San was buried. The faded flowers she kept to remind
her of the lovely little lady of another race, who had been her friend.
She went to Port Arthur last summer with her father, who inspected the
docks there at the time, and she wrote me later, she left over the body of
Okim, in the prison yard, a tiny plant of the wild forget-me-not, such as
he had wished to have blossoming forever above the heart that loved Moto
San so well. Have you ever stopped to consider whether you were the
original noise, or only the echo? Our Faculty have many faults, Our
students have but two: "Everything they say, And everything they do."

Fairy Paths The world has changed so much since first I came To dwell
within its bounds, so still and wide. Things used to be so wonderful and
great- With Fairy Paths across the countryside. Along the river bank, all
floored with sand, Enclosed by rose trees, wild, and emerald-leaved, And
hidden quite from scoffing, grown-up eyes I walked along, believing and
believed By all my little band of neighbor folk. I pointed out to them
each lurking elf. I flew from made-up terrors with swift feet, And thus
deceiving, oft deceived myself. I found for them the haunts of witch and
dwarf, I took them to the Giant's lonely tree; I was the queen of all my
youthful train, And blest were they who chose to follow me. Away from
"Common Folk" each morn we sped And walked the rivers edge with singing
feet, Or rafted lightly on its current swift; Then Life was Sunshine's
self, and Danger sweet! And oft we tired of Pirating about And sought
instead the yellow mountain's steep, And climbed the cliffs of hay unto
the top And nestled down within our dungeons deep. And heard the
raindrops falter in their flight Upon the tin-roofed space above our keep;
And one by one the weary pirates would Roll drowsy heads and softly sink
to sleep. And dreams? Our dreams seemed all of Fairy folk, The ones we
loved, e'en tho we never knew, For sure-if they were idle grown-up tales
Made up for fun-or really truly true. But some how we've grown older and
forgot To listen for them as we used to do. I wonder if the fairies ever
look For us where first we walked, when Life was new. Ah, little Fairy
Paths along the edge Of winding river, dim, befogged and green; I wonder
if the rose trees have been cut And brush thrown open to disclose the
scene. Of gentle mysteries. I hope not Paths! I'd rather see the thickets
o'er you grow The myrtle and blackberry and the mint Hide all the
footprints made so long ago. RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER. Page One

A Midnight Call and What Came of It By GERALD E. SONNER. Third Prize
Story THE sharp jingle of the telephone bell is rather startling in the
dead of night, when there is no other sound. William Carew came out of his
doze with a start. His hand shook as he took down the receiver. "Hello!"
"Hello! Is this Mr. Carew?" "Yes, who is this?" "Not so fast, please. My
business with you is strictly private. Are you alone in the room? "
(Coming to him as it did, the question seemed a bit uncanny.) "I am," he
answered, glancing around a little apprehensively, as though he did not
feel quite sure about it. "Well, this is from your business office.
Understand?" "I do not understand. My office closed at six o'clock; I
locked the door myself, and no one else has a key. Who are you, anyway?"
"Ah! Softly, please! Don't be inquisitive." "Then what do you want?"
"Now, you are talking! First, though, let me tell you something. You know
that powder you have stored in the basement, ready for the hunting
season?" "Well, what of it?" "Make quite an explosion, wouldn't it?" "It
would wreck the whole building." "Yes? Well, just at this moment one end
of a good, quick fuse rests in that powder, and the other is on your desk,
within three feet of my hand. Do you follow? Hello! Hold on, now. Don't
get excited or act hastily. A fuse doesn't hurt as long as it isn't
lighted. Just wanted you to see what might happen if things didn't please
the people in control here; that is all. Stop, now! Never mind about
Central. I want to talk to you. We have a little work to do here that
requires the opening of your safe-" "Hello! Are you there? All right!"
"Well, we seem not to have gotten the combination, and prefer calling in
the engineer to blowing up the boiler. I am sorry to disturb you, but we
have tried to be as considerate at we could. You will find a cab at your
side-door. By smart driving you can reach here in between six and seven
minutes from the time you leave the phone; but mind you, now, that will
not give you any time for side trips or nonsense. If you Page One Hundred
Fifty-Five
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 156
----------
are with us in exactl'y seven minutes from the time you leave the phone,
well and good; if not-Hello! are you listening?" William Carew promptly
answered that he was, though he did not ieel certain whether he was
hearing with his ears or his imagination. The situation was a new one to
him, and in order to gain time for thinking iL over, he tried to talk to
his strange interviewer with one side of his head and think with the
other. The warning was prompt." "Be quick! Tell me at once are you coming?
Because if you are not, the fuse is off." "All right, I'll come!" he
shouted, and hung up the receiver. What could he do? To arouse his
household and make the necessary explanations would consume at least five
of those seven precious minutes. Should he try the police? They were quite
as unreachable in the time at his command. As the only chance, he called
up Central, told the girl rapidly to send the police around to his
office. No, no! not the house--the office quick as she could! Then he
rushed for the cab and allowed himself to be driven away at breakneck
speed. The more he thought it over the more he failed to see the funny
side of the situation, if it had one-and he was not sure that it had. If
all went well, he still would be at his office in the hands of his enemies,
within the time specified; but what did they mean to do with him? Make
him open the safe for one thing, and he thought with regret of the good,
fat collections that had been turned in to him the night before, after
banking hours. In spite of his worry over what was going to happen to his
property, he could not help feeling a generous concern over what was
likely to happen to himself. Supposing the burglars were not satisfied
with their loot? Or they might suspect him of having other valuables
secreted. That thought brought a ray of comfort, and he chuckled to
himself as he remembered the fat roll of bills he had taken home and
placed in his secretary over-night, preferring not to trust all his eggs
in one basket. But, still, supposing they did not mean to take him to the
office at all, but were only taking this way to abduct him and hold him in
some underground dungeon for ransom? Then, too, what if the girl at
Central failed to understand the situation? Central had been known to mix
things up before then; and this was an unusual occurrence. He had not
dared take time to let her repeat his message to him for correction. The
police station was much farther from his office than his house was, so at
the best, he would be in for an uncomfortable seance with his captors of
quite sufficient duration, without any delays or slips. On the arrival of
the officers, too, a new danger would confront him. Several burglaries had
recently been committed, possibly by this same gang, and the police,
smarting under the severe prodding they had received from the local
papers, were about in the right humor to shoot on sight. Carew was not a
large man; still, there was a great plenty of him at a time when all there
was of him would be in danger. In spite of his nervousness over his
impending fate, the time and Page One Hundred Fifty-Six
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 157
----------
distance of his ride between his house and office seemed longer than it
ever had before. Of course, that might be due to his over-wrought nerves.
He was thinking so fast and of so many things at once that the amount of
mental ground he covered evidently made the material distance seem great.
Still, he half doubted whether they had come the most direct route or not,
and tried to peer out of the cab to assure himself of something, he hardly
knew what. While he was in the very act of doing so, the cab pulled up at
his office-door so suddenly as to all but cause his debarkation in a
direction wholly different from the usual course of egress. A glance
around convinced Carew that the building was still un-wrecked! so it
looked as if he had arrived in time. Just as he was about to enter the
building it occurred to him that he had seen no guard, and he considered
it possible that the fuse had been fired already and the burglars were
seeking safety in flight. Under those circumstances, Carew more than ever
wished to avoid any seeming dissension from their views, so he rapidly
concluded to wait a little before entering, and it occurred to him that
the opposite side of the street would be a better place for waiting.
Neither burglar nor explosion came to reward his caution, however, and
natural curiosity was fast gaining a mastery, when he was suddenly beset
on all sides by a rush of policemen, who were so elated over capturing him
that it was several minutes before their error could be proved to them.
Then there was a simultaneous rush for the office, over which the wary
chief had placed a watchful guard before their rush upon the supposed
burglar sentinel. In the center of the room lay the door of the safe,
where it had fallen when blown open. Scattered around were such of the
contents as could not be converted into cash. The money and all
negotiable valuables were missing. Evidently it had been a deliberate
piece of work, where every paper was examined, and its value carefully
determined. "And to think," exclaimed Carew, "that they did it all in the
few minutes I was coming from my home here! I am certain they were gone
before I arrived." "Nonsense!" said the Chief, passing his hand over the
safe door. "This job alone was never done in seven minutes; and, besides,
it must have happened half an hour or so ago, for the metal is cold."
"Then what the deuce was their object in calling me up to open it for
them, after it was already open?" "I am sure I don't know, unless it was
just pure bravado; a sort of boasting over a sleek job. But my word for
it, the safe was open and the job done when they called you up. They were
off as rapidly as you were, after they once got you started. Strange,
though, they went to the trouble of sending that cab for you if they
hadn't some other object." Just then the telephone rang again, with a
suddenness that gave them all a start. "Hello! Who is this?" answered
Carew. "Is this the William Carew office?" "It is, what's wanted?" "Well,
this is your residence. I just wanted to tell you that we Page One Hundred
Fifty-Seven
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 158
----------
had a little business here which we believed could be done better during
your absence. We wanted you to take a little trip, and felt sure you would
manage some way to take the attention of the police along with you, after
the tip you got. We are through here, now, and have managed not to disturb
your family in the least. You can return now whenever you get ready. Thank
you! Good-bye." William Carew and the officers looked at each other in
astonishment for a full minute, then the Chief exclaimed: "Well, doesn't
that jar you?" "It certainly does!" replied the crestfallen William Carew,
as he turned out the light and walked through the door. The Things Worth
While In the evening of our school year, When our sun is getting low,
Are we longing for the last day And the train on which to go? Or are we
thinking of the friends that We have made thruout the year? And of the
heartaches we will have When we go and leave them here? Or, of the
lessons we have learned Of the things akin to life; That will give us
strength of character To enter the great strife? It's not the fact that
we will get A roll of sheepskin that will count; But the stuff we have
within us That will make us want to mount And climb to worlds we've
dreamed about, Of world's as yet unknown, To the zenith of ambition And
leave unturned no stone. We then will know, the things worth while Are
the friends whom we have known, And those worth more than all the rest,
We met on grand Sehome. A. H. S., '15. Page One Hundred Fifty-Eight

The Opinion of Father Time I sat dreaming by my window, half asleep and
half awake Harking to the merry music that a far-off band did make- Just
the old Salvation Army, that march the streets at dark, But their music set
me thinking, of dead people, grim and stark; Dear dead people, lying
coldly in the earth, beneath the grass- While the living, gayly, boldly,
o'er their sunken slumbers pass. And I wondered then, how many of the ones
so still and meek, Had in life known true happiness, and all that Humans
seek. "Were there many happy people, in the days that are no more?" Thus
I questioned of a Spectre, who just then came thru my door. Oh, his hair
was long and frosty-white with years, and years, and years, And the
wrinkles had been furrowed in his face by human tears. In his hand he bore
a sickle, and I knew him then for Time- He, the Father of the Ages (and
the subject of my rhyme), For he showed me all the people, that had gone
away from here, From the Bellingham State Normal, down until this very
year, And among them saw I, women, who were leading useful lives, Some as
teachers, some as writers, some as true and helpful wives. And the men
(Ah! few in number), they were making money fast, Peaceful, sober,
uninspiring, from the first, down to the last. Doing good, 'tis true,
wherever each and every one had time, (Keeping coin in circulation,
spending now and then a dime). "Question thou about the Living; leave the
Sleeping Dead alone! Soon enough you'll all be lying in the earth beneath
a stone, And the final page be written, and the Book be closed and locked,
Thus the Dead are now; why bother?" Father Time serenely mocked. Then his
eyes grew clear and shining and he pointed down the street, (Just a little
lane of shadows, but it clanged with human feet), And I saw Two Hundred
Pilgrims, festive clad, come side by side, Marching grandly down the
vista, faces, bearings, those of Pride, In their hands they held
diplomas, 'oer their heads burned halo's bright, On their brows blazed
Fame and Fortune and the Power to do the Right. "Happiness?" quoth my
companion, "These shall find it-never far! This is how- " "Oh, tell it
loudly," quoth I quickly, "Let them hear." "In their hearts, they know,"
he answered, "that we get back what we give; This they must remember ever,
it will teach them how to live! "See," he said, I saw a vision of the
years that soon will be; Saw the girls and men of '15, older grown, they
seemed to me; But glad-hearted, walking freely, thru the spaces of the
Land In their wake were Peace and Plenty, flowers grew on either hand,
Flowers of Thought, and Flowers of Virtue, flowers of Friendship, thrived
and grew, And about these flowery places, many, many bluebirds flew; And
Time touched me on the shoulder, "Tell me this before I go! "Do you
recognize these people? Are there any whom you know?" "KNOW!" I shouted,
half indignant; then replied, with haughty mein, "THESE are CLASSMATES,
Aged Father,-B. S. N. S., our '15." And he laughed and motioned lightly
toward the school upon the hill: "There have never been such people, in the
past, nor ever will- As this CLASS OF 1915, that you saw a moment since,
And this fact I don't mind telling, over truths I seldom mince, They're
the greatest that I know of-either now alive or dead." "Thank you, Father
Time," I answered, "I shall tell them all you've said.' Then he vanished
thru my window, with his shadows and his murk, And I took my bookstore
notebook, and to this end, started work. R. O. V., '15. Page One Hundred

WITH not a veteran back and with a new man at the helm, the
Nineteen-Fourteen Football season looked none too bright for the Blue and
White. Coach Samuel E. Carver, a member of the Nineteen-Twelve Football
team, had charge of the squad for the first time. When the call for
candidates was made, only a few men responded who had actual experience,
but nevertheless, the men worked hard, and Coach Carver develcped a team
that didl credit to the School, although a great percentage of the games
were lost. The progress that different members of the team made was
especially pleasing to the supporters. The members of the squad, numbering
between fifteen and Page One Hundred Sixty-Seven
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 168
----------
twenty, labored under adverse conditions all season, for the new grid-iron,
back of the School, was a morass of mud and water, from the first to the
last turnout. "Big Ben" Tidball, the two-hundred-pounder of Bellingham
High School fame, was elected Captain just before the first game of the
season, and he proved a capable leader. Ben played center rush. Flanking
the "Human Stone Wall" on either side (as Captain Tidball was known in his
High School days), were "Swede" Shold and Walter Kelly, both playing
their first year of football. Shold was one of the "strong men" of the
team, while Kelly, although light, was one of the most aggressive
warriors that Coach Sam had. The tackles were well taken care of by
Neiswender, Platz, and Bolman, all of the six-foot variety. At the
extremes of the line were found three men of marked ability: Bill Evans,
Beck, and Breakey. Beck and Breakey played their first year of football,
while Evans is a former Bellingham High School star. Victor Aitken, a
product of Ferndale High School, directed the team from the quarterback
position, and played a heady game. Probably the biggest surprise of the
season was the playing of "Bulldog" Wold, at fullback. With very little
previous experience, Wold proved to be one of the stars of the team. As a
smashing fullback, his equal cannot be found in these parts. Ed.
Haracich, from the local High School; Larson, from Tacoma; and Croy, a
local boy, alternated at right and left half, and each man played a fast,
hard game. Capable substitutes were found in F. Hermann, Smith and Meek.
A winning team is predicted for next year, as Haracich, Kelly, Platz,
Wold, Beck, Breakey, Smith, and Shold will be back. The team's record is
as follows: FERNDALE, 6-NORMAL, 0. The first game of the season was played
on Saturday, October third, during the fair week at Lynden. Ferndale won,
because of the inexperience of the Normal boys. More than half of the team
were playing their first game of football. Captain Tidball was injured,
which kept him out of the game for several weeks. MT. VERNON A. C.,
42-NORMAL, 0. The team ran into a snag when they met the Mt. Vernon
Athletic Club on October tenth, at Mt. Vernon. The Club team was made up
of former College and High School stars, and their playing was too much
for the local boys. FERNDALE, 0- NORMAL, 2. The first win of the season
was on October tenth, at the Normal athletic field, when, after fifty-nine
minutes of fighting, the local team scored a safety on the High School
boyfs from Ferndale, and so won the game. It was a royal battle, and ekery
Blue and White player deserves credit for putting up a great brand of
ball. MT. VERNON A. C., 0-NORMAL, 0. The game that was virtually a
victory was when Mt. Vernon invaded Bellingham with a stronger team than
the one that beat the local team 42 to 0, and were unable to score on the
Normal warriors. The local team displayed the best form of the year, and
when their goal was Page One Hundred Sixty-Eight
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 169
----------
in danger they put up a stone-wall defense. The Club boys were helpless
when they tried to score, but on the other hand, their heavy line could
not be penetrated by the locals for substantial gains. ANACORTES,
13-NORMAL, 7. Coach Carver had to put a crippled team in the field against
Anacortes High School, when the teams met in Bellingham, November seventh.
Anacortes was represented by one of the best High School teams in this
part of the State, and they put up a great battle. Both the visitors'
touch-downs came in the first quarter, but after that they were unable to
get in scoring distance of the Normal's goal. FERNDALE, 0-NORMAL, 6. Once
more the Blue and White demonstrated their ability to defeat the warriors
of Ferndale. The game was played November fourteenth, at Ferndale. The
Normal boys showed a marked improvement in their team work. The successful
use of the forward pass was greatly responsible in bringing in victory to
Bellingham. A number of gains from ten to forty yards were made this way.
BELLINGHAM H. S., 6-NORMAL, 0. Alas! The biggest game of the season was
lost to B. H. S. in a stubbornly fought contest, November twenty-first.
After being outplayed all through the game, and with only four and a half
minutes till the final whistle, the High School team slipped over a
touchdown on the Normal, and victory was theirs. Nothing more needs to be
said, but just wait until next year. In the opinion of a good many
football fans the best team lost. ANACORTES, 20--NORMAL, 7. The
Thanksgiving battle was played in Anacortes, with the High School team of
that town, but it ended disastrously for the Normal. The skillful playing
of the backs, coupled with the Fidalgo mud, spelled defeat for the locals.
One of the disastrous features of the game was the injury to Evans' knee,
as it kept him out of the entire basketball season. Page One Hundred

Basket Ball HE Nineteen-Fourteen--Nineteen-Fifteen Basketball season was
one of the most successful seasons that a Normal five has enjoyed for
several years. Although probably not a clear claim to the title of the
Non-Conference Championship could be made, at least the local team holds
it in conjunction with the College of Puget Sound, as each team defeated
the other one, and the tie was not played off. Of the heavy schedule of
fourteen games played, ten were won. Only one school team had the honor of
defeating Coach Carver's pets; that being the University of Puget Sound.
The disappointing feature of the season was the fact that the annual
East-of-the Mountains' trip had to be called off at the last minute,
because Ellensburg Normal broke her contract. As this has become a habit
with our Sister Normal, it looks as if she were afraid to meet our strong
teams. The first of the season looked none too promising for a winning
team as only one Letter-man reported, and the material did not look
exceptionally strong, but after several weeks of practice, things looked
different. Coach Carver developed a fighting team, but a team that fought
in the right spirit and played square. The team was light, but what they
lacked in weight they made up in speed. The personnel of the team is as
follows: Captain Swartz, Rockey and Gwin, forwards; Odle, center; Kelley,
Aitken, Croy and Anstett, guards. Lytton, Swartz, and Paul Rockey were
the regular forwards, and each man played the game every minute. Frank
Gwin, from Ellensburg, made a handy substitute. Mosie Odle, the married
man of the team, who held the pivotal position several years ago, was
better than ever this year, and very few men were able to get the jump on
him. Walter Kelley and Victor Aitken were the regulars. Both are old star
High School men, and both shone in every game of the season. Donald Croy
and Leonard Anstett were not far behind the regular guards and each one
was ready to step in at any moment. Anstett was not able to play the
required number of halves to possess a letter, as he was late in entering
school, but he is looked upon to star next year. The Team's Record

success is due in a great measure to the coaching of Sam Carver, who is
one of the best players Bellingham ever developed. A team equal, if not
better than the one of this year is looked for next season for Rockey,
Kelley and Anstett will be back and practically every member of the second
team. Page One Hundred Seventy-One

Base Ball NO sooner was the last baskethall game a thing of history,
than the baseball candidates were called out by Coach Carver. Over twenty
boys responded, and the squad was certainly a promising one. As the new
athletic field is still in poor shape, the turnouts are held on the Sehome
School grounds, which only furnish meagre accommodations. Through the
courtesy of the Elks' Club it has been made possible for the squad to
practice at Elks' Park several times a week, and all the home games will
be played on these grounds. Plenty of material was in evidence for every
position on the team, except the battery positions, and only a few
candidates showed up for these places. Under the direction of Coach Carver
and Captain Roy Mohrmann, the team was picked as follows: W. Evans,
catcher; I. Larsen and F. Beck, pitchers; P. Mohrmann, first base; G.
Smith, E. Haracich, second base; A. Griffen, short-stop; L. Swartz, third
base; C. Platz, H. Wold, R. Reid and E. Rairdon, outfielders. Although
Evans plays a better game in the field than he does behind the bat, the
scarcely of material compelled Coach Carver to place him in this position.
Larsen, a right-handed flinger, and Beck, a port-sider, are doing the
pitching, and it is likely before the season is over that this will be one
of the strongest parts of the team. With Captain Mohrmann on the initial
bag, this position is being cared for in the best possible manner, as he
is a man of a great deal of experience. A fight is going on over the
keystone corner between Smith, from Ferndale and Haracich, a local High
School man, with odds about even. Griffen, from the South Side High
School, is speeding around the short field, showing lots of class. Swartz,
a veteran of three seasons, is again at his old station at third base,
which he held last season. The outfield, Page One Hundred Seventy-Three
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 174
----------
which was weak last season, is being filled by a bunch of hitters, and
Platz, Wold, Reid and Rairdon are covering lots of ground. Only two games
have been played so far, but a heavy schedule has been arranged for.
NORMAL, 13-SOUTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL, 0. The first game of the season was
played against our old rivals from South Bellingham, and although a close
game was looked for, it was a decided walk-away, as the score indicates.
The Normal men worked well in the field, and hit the ball at will, showing
rare form for so early in the season. Beck, who twirled in the first part
of the game, did not allow a hit, and Larsen, who succeeded him, was only
touched up for a couple of singles. NORMAL, 7; BLAINE HIGH SCHOOL, 6.
The second game was played at Blaine, and again our boys came out
victorious. The local boys started things in the first inning, and annexed
five runs, but after that the Blaine flinger settled down and the locals
had a hard time getting hits off his delivery, although they scored again
in the sixth and ninth. For eight innings the best Blaine could do was to
collect two runs, but in the last half of the ninth they came near tieing
the score, but fast fielding prevented this, and so the Normal record was
clear. Page One Hundred Seventy-Four

TRACK MAY twenty-seventh, 1914, was the scene of the Annual Track Meet
between the Bellingham High and Normal Schools, and although the High
School boys won, they were made to "hump" all the way through, the score
being 60-63. It was probably the closest meet ever held in the City. The
High School entered the meet with the idea they were going up against
something easy, and the Normal boys had something of the same idea, as
very little interest had previously been shown in Track; the boys being
mostly occupied with Baseball. While the High School squad practiced all
spring, our team practically was without training, some of the men never
taking part in an event until the day of the meet. In the sprints we had
things all our own way. "Red" Montgomery took first place in every dash,
with Swartz and Neeley close behind him. The best the "Hi" could do was to
take third place in two of the dashes. The broad jump was won by the Prep.
boys, but Neeley took second place, and Croy third. First, second and
third was all that the Normal took in the shot put, Nattrass, Neeley and
Hansen placing. We had no show in the hurdles, Knaack being the only man
to get a place. Sloan took third place in the high jump, and the other
places went to the High School. Marshall won the pole vault in dandy form.
First and third places were captured in the discus by Folsom and Nattrass.
The distance runs were all in the favor ol the High School, they taking
every place but third in the mile, which was won by Lewis. The High
School saw they hlad no show in the relay, so failed to enter a team, but
the Normal Four, composed of Swartz, Montgomery, Knaack and Neeley, ran
off the distance in excellent time. Those who made their "B" were
Montgomery, with 16 1/4 points; Swartz, with 8 1/4 points; Neeley, with 10
1/4 points; Knaack, with 4 1/4 points; Marshall, with 5 points; Nattrass,
with 6 points, and Folsom, with 5 points. Page One Hundred Seventy-Five

THE NORMAL TRACK TEAM Back Row-Croy, Coach Carver, Gray, Miller
Center--Bixby, Ceiling, Haracisch, Gwin, Mohrman, Aitken, Odle Front
Row--Breakey, Boggan, Kelly, Gardner Considerable interest is being shown
in Track this year, and quite a number of experienced men are in School.
It is expected the Normal boys will give a good account of themselves this
year. Wold, Rairdon, Beck, and Neeley are tryiny for the sprints, and
among the others trying for places are Kelley for the mile, Miller for the
middle distances, Gardner and Bixhy for the jumps and pole vault, and a
number of other good men are turning out, so chances for a first-class,
well-balanced team are very bright. At least three meets will be held
this year, with Sedro-Woolley High School, Bellingham High School, and
Ferndale High School. We expect the boys to take every meet, and believe
they will do it. A little more interest could be shown by the students
over the Athletic teams, than has been shown in the past, for the Normal
School turns out some mighty fine, well-coached teams. Athletics have been
successful in every way this year, and they deserve the patronage of
every student. Next year it is hoped the Athletic Field will be in
first-class shape, and the teams will not have to practice away from the
School. When the wishes of Dr. Nash are carried out, the Bellingham 4
Normal will have one of the finest Athletic Fields in the Northwest.
Everyone should get in and boost, and help to make the old Normal School
one of the finest anywhere. Page One Hundred Seventy-Six

TENNIS Tennis Classes have been organized, and the Normal will soon have
a body of good tennis players, instead of a few tennis sharks. Girls'
Athletics GIRLS' ATHLETICS this year can boast only of Basketball, but
there has been greater interest in it than in previous years. Not only
have we had Class teams, but the Thespian, Alkisiah and Philomathean
Societies each organized a team. The Philos were challenged by both the
other societies, and won the honors in both games. The Class Teams were
organized in early October, and practiced faithfully until March, when the
traditional Kline Cup games were played. The Kline Cup is a trophy given
to the Normal by Kline Bros., former jewelers of this city. Each year the
Classes contest for the Cup. At the opening of this year the Sophomores
were obliged to withdraw from the contest, on account of lack of numbers,
the Class being the smallest in the School. The Freshmen were also at a
disadvantage of numbers, but kept in the field, and showed fair play and a
great deal of pluck. The first game was played February twelfth, Juniors
vs. Freshmen, won by the Juniors. The second game was played March
eighth, Seniors vs. Freshmen, won by the Seniors. The final game was
played by the two winning teams, Juniors and Seniors. Both teams played
their hardest, but the Juniors won the much-coveted Cup. It will be held
as a challenge to all Classes next year, and we hope it may arouse even
more interest in Basketball than has been shown this year. Much of the
success of Basketball is due to the efforts of Miss Nickerson, the
Physical Education Director, who has insisted on clean playing throughout.
Much credit is due to the loyal Coaches and Managers of the teams, who
have worked faithfully and spared no efforts to train good teams.
Volleyball is being played, under the supervision of Miss Nickerson, and
next year she hopes to have Class competition in Volleyball. Page One

MELANCHOLIA. School is over once again, So sad, it seems, to me. Ha ha!

gentleman from Greece, was shearing off my fleece, While very near a swart
Italian stropped his scimitar! And when presently discussion (polyglot and

HEARD BELOW THE STAIRS, AT B. S. N. S. At a time when smallpox was
reported about the town, one of the Student Teachers heard the following
conversation between two little chaps: Joe-"Say, Tommy, have you been
vaccinated?" Tommy-"Gee, no! I'm not vaccinated, but I'm baptized!" "HOW
DEAR TO MY HEART:" (Tune of "The Old Oaken Bucket.") "How dear to my
heart is this thing they call Latin, When fond recitation presents it to
view, The clauses, the phrases, all dressed in their satin, And every
loved ending that makes us feel blue. The high-sounding doo-dads and
outlandish diet, The slave with a spear and the Roman who fell, The
verbal gerundive, the noun crouching nigh it, Are hidden in Latin, which I
love so well. (CHORUS) That time-honored Latin, That iron-bound Latin,
That moss- covered Latin, Which hangs on so well! The subject, the verb,
and the bow-legged compound, The flexible gerund and subjunctive mood;
The clauses of purpose encourage the pronoun To take the possessive and
silently brood. The loose-jointed supine and verbal declensions Join
hands with diclensions and joyfully dwell, In temporal clauses of Gothic
dimensions, And e'en in the Latin, which I love so well. I tenderly open
my mind to receive it As, poised on my table, it joyfully drips; No hair-
raising ball-game could tempt me to leave it Though filled with the things
which America sips. Their fuss from the diamond fills all the creation,
In tribute to home runs they noisily yell; I close down my window in
anticipation, And cling to my Latin, which I love so well. Miss
Nickerson-"Is dancing good exercise?" Miss Nuttall-"It is, the way some
people dance." Mr. Bever-"What are the properties of our new book ?" Mr.
Van Pelt-"It's hard, and very dry." SOME SPEEDER. "How fast is your car,
Hulse?" asked Mr. Bever. "Well," said Mr. Hulse, "It keeps about six
months ahead of my income, generally." Miss Nuttal- "Don't you know,
Bunny, that walking on the grass is very bad for rubber-soled shoes?"
Miss Welch-"It is not! It's a lot better for them than walking on cement
sidewalks." Miss Nuttall-"No, it isn't! The blades cut the rubber all up."

HEARD IN ARITHMETIC CLASS. After drilling on the number of feet in a mile,
Mr. Bond said: "Miss Woodrum, how many feet in a rod?" Florence W.-"Five
thousand, two hundred and eighty." Mr. Bond-"I guess I won't go walking
with you then." A goat ate all our Jokes And then began to run; "I can
not stop," he softly said, "I am so full of fun!" A believer in organized
charity cites this as an example of mis- directed tender-heartedness. A
very benovelent but absent-minded old gentleman, riding in his carriage
one hot July day, noticed a toad in the dusty road, gasping with the heat.
In the kindness of his heart he climbed down, tenderly moved the poor toad
into the shade of his carriage and then, thoroughly satisfied with his
good deed, climbed up again and drove on. I hear that Corinne is to be
married soon. Who is the happy man?" "Her father!" "Hurry up, Tommy,"
called Mother, from downstairs, "We're late now. Have you put your shoes
on?" "Yes, Mamma, all but one." "Why was Kelly put out of the game?" "He
hadn't shaved and was disqualified for unnecessary roughness." PHILOSOPHY

of the front window of his home, just as the kind-hearted townswoman
happened to be passing by. She hurried up, with the anxious question.
"Dear, dear! How did you fall?" The little fellow looked up at the
questioner and replied, in a voice choked with sobs, "V-V-Vertically,
Ma'am!" Military Instructor--"What is meant by 'Hereditary enemies' "?
Recruit-"Your relations!" ON A FISHING TRIP. Mr. Bond-"Boys, the boat is
sinking. Is there anyone here who knows how to pray?" Mr. Hulse

ONE OTHER. "Yes,' said Mr. Bever, leaning his weary head on one hand as he
addressed the Class in Rural Sociology, "I had a somewhat painful
experience of that kind myself, when I was living in North Yakima." "I
was standing in the stall and another horse kicked me." HUNTING SEASON. A
hunter popped a partridge on a hill It made a great to-do and then was
still. It seems when later on his bag he spied, It was the guide! One
shot a squirrel in a nearby wood, A pretty shot, off-hand from where he
stood. It wore, they said, a hunting suit of brown, And lived in town!
And one dispatched a rabbit for his haul, That later proved to measure six
feet tall. And lest you think I'm handing you a myth, It's name was
Smith! Another Nimrod slew the champion fox, He glimpsed him lurking in
among the rocks. One rapid shot! It never spoke or moved, The inquest
proved! A "cautious" man espied a gleam of brown, Was it a deer, or Jones,
a friend from town? But while he pondered by the river's brim, Jones
potted him! SIMPLIFIED SPELLING. The dentist had just moved into a place
previously occupied by a baker, when Doctor Deerwester came to call.
Dentist-"Pardon me a moment, while I dig off those enamel letters of
'Bakeshop' from the front window." The Doctor-"Why not merely dig off the
'B' and let it go at that?" Rejoice, and men will seek you, grieve and they
turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, but they do not
need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; be sad, and you lose
them all,- There are none to decline your nectar'd wine, but alone you must
drink Life's gall. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE MODERN TENDENCY. Bobby-"Hey,
there! I saw you kissing sister, last night." Mr. Jones-"Well, I'm not
going to pay you a quarter this time. Ten cents is enough." Bobby-"That's
the tendency in these days, to cut out the middle-man and let the goods go
straight from the producer to the consumer without charge." MAKING FOR
COOLTH. Miss Baxter-"How does the Mexican hairless dog shed his coat this
weather?" Doc-"He doesn't change his coat; he simply takes lighter pants."

DIFFICULT. A country politician in New Jersey was elected School
Commissioner. One day he visited a school and told the teacher he desired
to examine the boys and girls. A Spelling Class was performing, so the
Commissioner said he would inquire into the proficiency of that
organization. The teacher gave him a spelling book, and the students lined
up in front of the mighty educator. He thumbed the book, then pointing at
the first boy, he said: "Spell Eggpit." "E-g-g-p-i-t," slowly spelled the
boy. "Wrong," said the Commissioner, and pointing to the next boy.
"E-g-g-p-i-t," spelled the boy. "Wrong. You spell it." The next boy
spelled it the same way, and the next and the next and the next. "Bad
spellers these," commented the Commissioner to the distressed teacher.
"Why, Mr. Commissioner," she protested, "They have all spelled 'Eggpit'
correctly." "They have not!" "Will you let me see the word in the book?"
the teacher asked tearfully. "I am sure they have." "Here it is!" said
the Commissioner, and he pointed to the word, "Egypt!" ALL
COMMUNICATIONS. All communications to this office must be signed, as we

the Monday morning culprits called before a Baltimore Police Magistrate,
was a darkey with no visible means of support. "What occupation have you
here in Baltimore," asked his Honor. "Well, Jedge," said the darkey, "I
ain't doin' much at present; just circulatin' round, Sir." His Honor
turned to the Clerk of the Court and said: "Please enter the fact that
this gentleman has been retired from circulation for sixty days." Mr.
Epley-"What is worse than finding a worm in your apple?" Junior-"Two

him fell out, and the boy licked him; and the man they threw stones at
caught him and licked him and the driver of the cart they hung onto licked
him; and the owner of a cat they chased caught him and licked him. Then I
licked him when he came home and after that his father licked him; and I

BLOOD WILL TELL. If there is an Irish trait that clings thru the
generations any better than the faculty to say just what you mean in the
way you don't mean it, there is one Joke Editor to whom it will have to be
proven. The Class in Psychology II. had just been called, and many
students came in during the roll. These, as the rule goes, were to be
counted not there until after Class, when they were to report the cause of
their tardiness. Several of them could not wait, but raised their hands,
and the instructor crossed them off her books. After gazing concernedly
all about the class, that worthy exclaimed impatiently: "Now, are there
any other people here who are absent." A SOFT PIAZZA. "The walk had been

Calendar and Autorium "AS THE YEAR FLEW BY." September 8, 1914. Last
night a crowd of us came down on the train, found pillows on which to lay
our heads in the town of Bellingham, and to-day we went up to register.
The hall was absolutely impermeable, impenetrable, inaccessible, and
untraversable by seven A. M., and we got there at eight. I leave the rest
to your imagination. Oh, Diary Dear! Most of the people up here seem very
pleasant and everybody grins at everybody else. Lots of them have been
here before. I think the year will be a very happy one. September 10.
Classes began to-day. Doctor Deerwester seems to have a sense of humor.
September 11. Our first assembly to-day and Doctor Nash spoke to us,
following an address given by the former President, Doctor Mathes. Mrs.
Nash and Mrs. Mathes gave some musical numbers. "Toot for your own School.
Buy a horn, and put the little hammer away!" was given us for our motto.
The other members of the Faculty extended the various specimen of their
good will to us, and then we "moseyed" back to classes. September 14.
Football practice to-day. September 15. Miss Wilson rode forth on her
hobby. September 18. I got my sieat in assembly. So did the other eight
hundred. September 23. Doctor Norton, of Korea, addressed us during
assembly. We ran over time, but we should worry, when we can hear
anything so good as this. I believe I'll go to Korea to teach. September
28. Miss Baker tells us of the progressive meeting she attended. I don't
know, but I think I'll be a progressive too. Sometimes I'm kind of afraid
that these teachers are trying to mould our lives! They constantly present
new and attractive ideas. September 30. "In the future," says the Doctor,
"the ladies of the Faculty may make their own announcements." Miss Baxter
brought it on their heads by her excellent speech in assembly. One month
has flown. October October 1. Hail to the return of Summer. In reality
it is but Summer's spirit returned lo tide the Autumn over with sunshine
and blue skies. October 3. Bellingham Normal football team defeated 7 to
0 by Ferndale. Doctor Nash has a cheery word for the boys. "Many times
Page Two Hundred Five
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 206
----------
great things come through defeat." I wonder if there is any truth in that?
I shall think about it. October 5. Miss Brown gave us some interesting
moments in assembly this morning, but it was a program rendered wholly by
proxy. The Great War was introduced by Doctor Raymond, who spoke on
Constantinople. October 6. The Junior Class Officers were elected. Ben
Tidball was made President; Ethel Milner, Secretary, and Archie Turnbull,
Treasurer. Doctor Raymond speaks on Russia. October 7. Lew Greene urges
more football enthusiasm. October 9. Albert Hennes, though not an "All
American Yell King," as yet is "Some Yell Kink" just the same. He taught
us two new ones, and told us about the old ones. October 10. Team plays
Mount Vernon-42 to 0. October 12. Doctor Nash sings, "Asa's Death," from
"Peer Gynt" Suite, at assembly. I certainly enjoyed it, and so did the
other eight hundred. Mr. Bond- seems as if it ought to be Professor
Bond-spoke about the value of a College Education. We shall all make it a
point to go to college now. October 14. Mrs. Sampson of Hawaii, sang the
Hawaiian National song, and some others in the native tongue, accompanying
herself on a "Ukilalee" the while. I think it would be great fun to teach
in Hawaii. I wonder if they will accept our diplomas there? Me for the
Land of the Rainbow. October 16. "The Rosary" and "A Perfect Day" were
sung very excellently and with much feeling by Miss Drake. Dr. Nash
returned from Okanogan, bringing greetings from many older sisters and
brothers in Alma Mater. Our School seems to have made a record, and the
way you spell it is this: E-F- F-I-C-I-E-N-C-Y ! I hope none of us will
forget about this. It's sure some record! October 19. "Modern Poetry"
receives its due at the hands of Miss Edens. One of the best talks we've
had this year. Waffle Day at the Cafeteria. October 20. Washington's
First Annual Apple Day! The Cafeteria on hand with the needful. October
21. Mrs. Smith reads. Once more does the spirit of Modern Poetry rejoice
in its interpreter. We got in the Movies to-day, besides, the whole eight
hundred and one of us. Aida Uddenberg made an awful face as she passed the
camera. Our first fire-drill and a chance to escape half aperiod.
October 22. I haven't seen Mr. Hartranft since he used to come out to our
home years ago, and fill himself full of Strawberry Shortcake, and tell
time-honored stories (much to his wife's disgust). And to-day he appeared,
looking just the same as ever, regardless of the fact that eight hundred
of us have grown up in the meantime, and addressed the Primary Methods
Class. Am I irrelevant, Dear Diary? October 23. The Seniors march
triumphantly into the Auditorium and chant reflections on the other
Classes and triumphal praises of their own. Hurray for our side! Mr. Epley
gives us the Agricultural Bug. I wonder if I saved half of my salary for
ten years, could I buy a farm? Page Two Hundred Six
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 207
----------
October 26. Mr. and Mrs. Gebaroff entertain the students. October 28. Miss
Mildred Robinson entertains us with her violin. We recognize Genius in the
bud and are glad that little Miss Robinson has Madame Davenport-Engberg
for her teacher. The Class has its Hallowe'en Party. I mean the Seniors,
of course, when I say The Class. October 31. Yesterday and the day before
was vacation for all but the Training School Teachers. Our Team holds Mt.
Vernon down to a 0-0 score. And so flits the Second Month. November
November 2. Some team spirit exhibited to-day and the Dog yelped wildly
for his "Own State Normal." November 3. Election Day. November 4. Doctor
Nash appoints Miss Hays to speak on the W. E. A. November 6. Mr. Hulse
talked to us about the schools at Gary, Indiana. I wish all schools were
models. November 7. Our Team plays Anacortes, with result of 7 to 13.
November 9. Teaching assignments posted. We get "Shooed" out of the hall
by Doctor Nash, who disbelieves in blocking traffic. In Assembly Miss
Jensen talked about Ideals. It seems that Ideals are valu-able and not to
be scoffed at. Assembly finished before the bell this time. November 13.
Doctor Eliot, son of Harvard's President Emeritus, spoke to us to-day.
More about Ideals and Idealism. Must be something in it! November 16. We
beat Ferndale, 6 to 0. November 16. Our landlady moralizes at the table.
It's no wonder I'm blue. A light snow fell this morning, and what with red
noses, and cold feet, and the quarter commencing and everyone cross as
two sticks, at home and at school and on the streets and everywhere. It's
no wonder they call it Blue Monday! If I had a nickel I'd go to a Movie!
Maybe Hannah will lend me one. November 18. "The King of the Golden
River," given us by Miss Drake's Class. . November 20. "Hail, Normal
Hail" is introduced to us by Doctor Nash. It's a great song, and every
word true! November 21. Last night the Y. W. C. A. gave their annual
banquet. The Juniors had their Class Party this evening, a "Hard Times"
turnout. The Team played the North Side. November 23. I'm so busy I can'"
get time to study. Mr. Hoppe, from Cheney Normal, read "The Fortune
Hunter," this evening. The Faculty entertained the visiting "Pedagogs" at
a reception. I am told they had "eats." It pays to be a Pedagog. Miss Fox,
traveling Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., spoke at assembly. Page Two
Hundred Seven
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 208
----------
November 24. Junior Class Meeting. Yells distributed. I wonder if they
have as much "pep." as they let on. Tryouts for Junior Play. November 25.
Vacation Ho! I'd like to hug every one of our Pilgrim forefathers for
their bright idea in establishing a Day of Thanksgiving. Five days in
Seattle! Only think of it, Dear Diary! November 30. Special Assembly
to-day reminded us that such things as Assemblies do really exist after
all, and that the Thanksgiving Recess is fast fading into the past. Doctor
Moody, of Africa, spoke about that wonderful continent. I believe I could
make a living in Africa! In the interests of The Peace Society, Mr. Jones
spoke of the brave little land of Belgium and pleaded for aid for its
wounded and starving citizens. My quarter told me that it wanted to go to
Belgium. That means five "Movies," but since I'm not much of a seamstress
and can't assist the Home Ec. in their good work, I think I'll let it go.
The hat is to be passed at the next Assembly. Mr. Jones is some pleader to
be able to take the nickels from Normal students! After his talk Miss Mead
gave us an example of stirring patriotism in her speech entitled, "Thank
God for America!" And so speeds November to its close! December December
1. There's a feeling in the air already, and the stores are blossoming out
with multitudes of poinsettias and pearly mistletoe and shining dark holly
leaves, inset with crimson berries. It's the gay time of the year, and the
girls are all wearing red and white sweaters and coats and stocking caps,
and the wind takes the trouble to blow from the North, and altogether we
feel quite like the picture postcards of wintry scenes, even if we are
fortunate enough to live on the Pacific Coast! December 2. Mrs.
Deerwester gave a recital at Assembly to-day. Kipling's "Recessional" was
the selection which attracted the most comment, but we enjoyed everyone of
Mrs. Deerwester's songs. I bade my quarter a fond farewell and dropped it
into Mr. Jones' hat at the door of the Auditorium to-day. December 4.
Virginia came in for her share of our attention to-day, when Miss
Montgomery addressed the students in Assembly. "Those West Virginia Hills"
was sung very sweetly by Miss Murphy. December 5. The Philo program netted
forty-three dollars and five cents for the Belgians. All praise to the
Philo's! December 7. The stern figure of the Janitor is seen guarding the
doors of the Auditorium from all late comers to-day. "Is There Any
Christianity in Warring Europe?" is the question Miss Knowles discussed
to-day. December 9. "A Grand Opera Season In New York" was the theme of
Miss McCarthy's address. We heard some of the life stories of the Great
Ones and learned that Caruso was one of a family of twenty-three children.
Another case of genius emerging from a large family. Page Two Hundred
Eight
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 209
----------
We also learned something of the life of the late Madame Nordica, who was
Lillian Norton before her career began. Say, Diary! Some day let's go
where we can hear the fine things of the world sung first hand. I'm pick
of Victrola records, now that Miss McCarthy has enthused us so. December
12. On Saturday night "The Bird of Paradise" was given at the Metropolitan
Theatre. I went, and so did the rest of the School. All the Dignitaries
of the "Institushun" were seated in the "Normal Box" with the "scum."
December 14. Miss Nickerson gave us a talk on "Settlement Houses in
Buffalo." The Juniors think they are pretty smart, but the Seniors "showed
'em." Let 'em keep the pieces of their pennant. The Victory is Ours!
December 16. Mr. W. Bridge Jones, assisted by Mrs. Jones, gave us a
recital this morning. Mr. Jones sang the following group of songs: "The
Total Eclipse," "Yesterday and To-day," "Thou Art Like a Child" and
"Soldier's Farewell." President Wilson (not Woodrow, but the Ellensburg
"Prexy)", spoke to us and one thing which he gave us to think about was
this: The idea that a strong life cannot long remain in darkness. I hope
that there are eight hundred or so who will remember this and not hesitate
a moment longer to tie onto a star. December 18. Miss Norton gives us
inside information on the Coal Mine War in Colorado. It certainly was
interesting. December 21. Went to a Movie and came home in a jitney. Mr.
Patchin spoke about Salt Lake City to-day. Shades of Shakspoke! Where did
the man acquire the vocabulary. December 23. The Training School gave a
fine program, after which we flew for the interurbans, boats and trains.
Home again at last, but I'll believe people now when they tell me that the
Tunnel under Seattle is the longest tunnel in the world. And it isn't just
because it runs from Virginia to Maine (Streets) either! It's the feeling
that a person gets when his home town looms up and the train stops just
outside. December 30. Christmas is over. The Saint left lots of presents
in his wake and once again we turn to school. January fifth is the fatal
day. And thus December speeds and the year Nineteen Fourteen is spun into
the pale but royal purple of the past. May our New Year prove as full of
hope and striving as the Old. January January 5. Back to the field of our
strenuous endeavor. January 6. Doctor Nash wishes us all a Happy New
Year. We certainly hope that same thing will occur to him, and to the
other "ministering spirits." January 7. Doctor Deerwester is seen with a
vicious expression on. January 8. Doctor Deerwester appears to be lost in
thought on several occasions when alone in his office. Miss Sands talks
about Japan, and shows beautiful views of the Page Two Hundred Nine
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 210
----------
little island of the East. I wonder if anybody in Yokohama needs a
governess? The Basketball team won from Sedro-Woolley. Hurrah! January 9.
Doctor Deerwester makes out Exam. Questions in the privacy of his home,
but is seen by one of the official class spies, and we are warned that
something of unusual "direness' is about to take place on Monday. The
Doctor consumed nearly a ton of sour pickles while making out the
questions. There ought to be a law forbidding the sale of sour pickles to
Professors. We shall all have to stay home from the Movies to-day and
memorize our History of Ed.! Say, Bo, who was Comenius? January 11.
Monday, Miss Rhodes gave a talk on Art. Fine! Both the arts and the talk.
Exam. in History of Education. We were asked to name all the great
Educators of the World and tell the stories of their lives. I put Doctor
Deerwester down at the top of the list! That was Policy, wasn't it? I just
know I'll get an "A." January 12. Doctor Deerwester was seen late last
night eating sweet pickles and correcting papers! January 13. We wonder
if maybe we couldn't improve our grades by inviting ,'them" to go to
Movies with us once in a while? If Mary Campbell will take Miss Sperry,
I'll take Mrs. Thatcher. To- day in Assembly, we listened to a worth-while
recital by Mrs. Nash, wife of our President, who was assisted by Mrs. W.
Bridge Jones. Her songs were, "My Heart, Oh Thy Sweet Voice," from
"Mallinote," Samson and Delilah; "In the Time of Roses," and "The Star."
And altho the student body made manifest oodles and oodles of appreciative
enthusiasm, she refused an encore and we had to be satisfied. January 15.
Some cunning children in the Senior Class. Oh, to have curls like Grace
Munsen's! I wish we could be young again; or, if not, that we could have
Kid Parties every night! January 16. The Juniors had a Kid Party too.
Copy-cats! January 17. The Mid-Years were given opportunity and incentive
to attend church to-day, and a few of the rest of us went along. The
Baccalaureate Sermon was preached at the Baptist church. January 22.
Goodbye to the Mid-Year Seniors, and God-speed! Soon do we follow! The
fifth month of the School Year flies, and Nineteen-Fifteen is one month
old already. February February 1. Mrs. Termaat's subject was most
interesting and the Cotton Industry occupies a more prominent position in
my apperceptive mass than heretofore. February brings the snowdrops and
the other first flowers of our Coast spring-time. There is still a place
in the wardrobe for the dear old stocking cap, however. February 2. The
Junior girls won from the Freshmen girls in Basketball. February 3. Mrs.
Thatcher gave one of the best talks of the year Page Two Hundred Ten
----------
Klipsun, 1915 - Page 211
----------
and supplemented her lecture on the music of the Indians, by personal
rendition of several very sweet, plaintive, native songs. And altho we
like and respect her choice of Victrola records, we are always better
pleased when we can hear Mrs. Thatcher herself sing. February 5. We didn't
know that there was a second Carolyn Wells hidden in the Faculty Hedge.
When shall we hear again from Miss Willoughby? February 8. Pullman Glee
Club entertains us. Miss Wilson talks interestingly on New Orleans.
February 10. Miss Sperry talks on her European trip. February 12.
Lincoln's birthday was justly celebrated this year. Bunny Welch read a
part from "The Crisis." You know that part where Lincoln leaves Stephen
Brice and Virginia Carvel alone in his inner office, after his reprieve of
Clarence Colfax. And where it speaks of the Stars and Stripes floating
once again in sight of the home of George Washington, and you feel sad to
think there was a time when a different Flag streamed out in the sunshine
of our capitol! Some Bunny! Joyce Day also helped to make the day a
success and her work was equally well received by most, and on account of
its serious quality, better appreciated by many. February 13. Vancouver
plays the Normal. February 17. A speech that topped them all was given
to-day by Dr. Deerwester. The Life of Luther Burbank was the topic, and we
were all inspired to investigate the field of Natural Experimentation and
Research. February 19. Miss Neff read to us in Assembly, in honor of the
Birthday of Washington. We sang National Hymns and felt very patriotic. I
think we Washingtonians have a right to feel an intense reverence and
love for the one for whom our State is named. It gives us just one more
reason to celebrate the memory of the Father of Our Country! The Normal
beat Van Wyck. Class, eh? February 23. Miss Woodbury, of New York City,
talked to us to-day on the Immigration Question. February 24. Miss
Lawrence holds forth on "Et-a-Cat." February 28. On the twenty-sixth we
had a Special Assembly, and Mr. Sampson, the former President of the
Cheney Normal, talked to us. The question that we are left to answer is
this: Are we up to standard? Are we One Hundred per cent. efficient,
physically, mentally, and spiritually? And if not what are we to do?
Evidently that's for Mr. Sampson to know and the rest of us to find out!
What'll we do about it? February is over at last. It's a brief month, but
it takes full Page Two Hundred Eleven

days out of our lives and brings us that much closer to the goal. Which
makes me wonder if, after all-- Shades of Omar. I cry you, disperse!
February is gone! March Mr. McClelland's talk on the Missionary Field was
a good one, but I don't suppose I'd do for a Missionary unless it was a
Flower Mission. March 2. Our Team defeats the North Side High. Well
organized and enthusiastic rooting characterized this game. ROLLA P.

Make 2 A. M. as safe as 9 P. M. Real security means keeping the
would-be intruder outside. Will the burglar cross a LIGHTED porch? Will
he attack a house with a light upstairs? Not he! Yet this protection and
convenience of an all-night light in bathroom or hall will cost you
only a cent or two a night if you use EDISON MAZDA Lamps. If one EDISON
MAZDA is such an economy, why not gain all they can save for you by using
EDISON MAZDA Lamps in every socket in the house? They're genuine
economy, for they give 3 times as many hours of light for the same money!
Be sure the MAZDA lamps you buy bear the name EDISON EDISON MAZDA
