Van Horn Mathes Reedy Ashman Junior Class History Histories are,
generally speaking, frightfully dry and uninteresting because the
majoritly of them consist of merely an out-line of events-cold, prosaic
facts; and yet it seems to me a biographic outline of the Junior Class of
1915-16, even in this trite form, must of necessity prove interesting by
the number and variely of its happenings. The Junior Class consists of
some five hundred aind fifty boys and girls (emphasis on the latter),
versatile in talents, splendid in energy, and boundless in enthusiaism.
They have taken a prominent part in athletics of all kinds football,
basketlall, tennis, track and baseball acquitting themselves nobly in
each. Their social career has been no less interesting; a mixer given in
the early fall of the year, the reception to the Seniors, and the
demonstration on the campus were all of a most enjoyable nature. The two
things, however, which seem most truly representative of the junior class,
in that they revealed more clearly its inherent ability in both a creative
and an executive way, were the class play and the Junior edition of the
Messenger. "Milestones" was presenlted on the evening of April 15th. The
characters were exceedingly well portrayed and the effect produced by the
play as a whole was in every detail, artistic. The Juniors succeeded in
widening to no mean extent the boundaries and limits contained in the word
"amateurs." The prodluction was staged under the dlirection of Miss Abby
Sumner, of the Expression Department, which fact renders the success of
the play, in truth, self-explanatory. Perhaps there is no better pllace
for 41

the Junior Class to publicly express its gratitude to Miss Sumner and
appreciation of her invaluable help and guidance in this work, than here.
The experience of each member of the cast and my own experience prompt me
to say that it is indeed an inspira-tion to work under her. The
Messenger, under the editorship of Mr. Scarseth, was de-lightful. Three
cheers for its contributors, Mr. Scarseth, and the class he rel)resented.
This year, with its falterings and triumphs, will reach its comlpletion in
May. Some are going to experience the thrills of blissful seniorhood
(fortunate ones), the rest of us step forth to meet thrills of rather a
different sort, and yet, no matter where we he or into what remote corner
of the earth the winds of chance may send our little ships of state, or
whether the fickle God of For-tune designs to smile on us or not, we shall
always have at least this year to look back upon with exceeding pleasure.
We shall feel again that spirit of fire and energy that made the Junior
Class the life of the school. We shall take pride in our past
achieve-ments and in the worthy precedents we established for those who
must needs follow in our footsteps. We are deeply grateful to the Faculty
for the hell) they have so generously extended; we feel that they have
given us some-thing of inestimable value in the work which is to follow
and for which this year has been in a small way preparatory. They have
taught us to love our work and thru our loving, give the best we have to
it, and to expect in return only that which our giving justifies. They
have awakened in us a desire to pass on the burn-ing torch of civilization
to the new generations and thus share in the great spirit of service. It
will be hard to part with some of the old scenes grown so lear-harder
still with the many new-found friends--but we feel the greatness of the
new life ahead and of the ending year-can say with Hugo, "It closes on the
twilight, it opens on the dawn," and so to those who are to experience
further the joy and inspiration in the work here and those who, with the
close of the year, must turn their backs on the dear old B. S. N. S. to go
strange ways-- until tomorrow, at least, "Au revoir, my friend--and-good
luck to you." GERTRUDE L. MARKELL. 42

Senior Class History Seniors! How much "pep" that very word signifies this
year! We are the largest, the strongest, the most enthusiastic "bunch"
that has ever entered the doors of dear old B. S. N. S. Those who were
Juniors last year missed some of their old friends, but soon found many
new Seniors who were ready to take their places. Being quite familiar
with school routine, it was not long before we were toiling over the deep
subjects of Hist. of Ed., Phil. of Ed., and Sociology. And in addition we
have always been more than well represented in all school enter-prises.
On Tuesday, October 12th, the Seniors met for the first time and elected
the following officers who so faithfully piloted us through the first
semester: NEWTON MCCOY -- --- President RUTH MULLIN -- --- Vice President
STELIA GOYNE - ---- Secrelary WAI'rTER KELLY . .----- Treasirer DELBErT
HENNES - - - - - Serean -al-A s We were very fortunate in having Dr.
D)cerwester, Miss Hogle, IMr. Moodie and Miss Sperry for our class
teachers. The first social affair given by the Seniors was the mixer
held in the Normal School club rooms, on Friday, October 1. The room was
beautifully decorated( with cut flowers anld draleries of the class
colors, olive green and gold. Several clever "stunts" were features of the
occasion and furnished a great d(eal of amuse-ment. After this came
toothsome refreshments. At the beginning of the second semester we elected
new officers: DELBEVRTI HENNES - -- - - - - President I)OROTHY GATTON - -
- - - - Vice President A. S. HARTLEY - ------ Secretary F()RREST BREAKEY
---- -- Trcasuirer GERTRUDE MC'AHAN -- - - Sergeant-at-Arms At midyear
thirty-nine Seniors left our midst, but many new ones came in to fill
their places. To these new members a recep-tion of welcome was tendered on
the evening of Friday, March the 10th. It was given in the big gym and was
in the form of a F.,' ' ;' , .; ;. ,. . ,, , ;7-z ,'.;- :,,- ::,' ,; ,-,.

country masquerade. Oh, what a circus we had! A mock wed-ding, pantomimes,
Mrs. Deerwester with her wonderful phono-graphic interpretations, and
Grace Sherman with her folk dancing were some of the exceedingly amusing
and interesting numbers given for our entertainment. Games of all kinds
occupied the remainder of the evening, until the "good eats" were served,
which fittingly concluded a hilarious good time. To show the school that
we were very much awake we gave a most interesting Washington's birthday
program in the audi-toriuin Wednesday morning, February 23. We were "right
there" with songs, Ukulele, pantomimes, etc., etc. The Kline Cup! Oh,
yes! The Senior girls won that! One of the most original features of the
year was the Senior girls' field meet, or, in other words, "Senior Sneak."
At 5:30 on Saturday morning, April 22, they met at the corner of Elk and
Holly prepared to take the car for Lake Whatcom, where all the sports took
place. By 11:30 they were ready to return, all having had a most hilarious
time. The next in order was the Faculty reception to the Seniors. This
occurred April the 29th at the Aftermath Club House and was in the form
of a musicale. After much deliberation the class play was selected, "The
Midsummer Night's Dream," by William Shakespeare. The cast, under the
direction of MIr. Hoppe, made it a great success. At last came the final
maddlening rush in preparation for (:lass Day, Commencement, etc. The
first function was the presi-dent's reception, held May 26th. Needless to
say, this was a very successful affair. On Sunday, May 28th, at 3 p. im.,
Dr. Hugh Ross, of the Con- gregational church, Seattle, delivered the
Baccalaureate address. Class D)ay! Yes, this occurred on Monday, May 29th.
There was nothing but excitement, and then more excitement all day long.
In the morning was Senior assembly, which plainly showed our originality,
energy and talent. The campus was beautifully decorated, and in the
afternoon the regular ceremonies of laying the stone and planting ivy were
performed. In the evening of this day the class play was rendered on the
knoll. After all this day's excitement we awoke the next morning
•" , 77 .-, ".-7 Y27 7: 7 777,M 7.'.

ready to enjoy another day of recreation. Early in the morning we all met
on the campus to partake of the Senior breakfast. Then in the evening the
Juniors entertained us-and they surely did entertain! Our final
appearance was made on the morning of May 31st, when we received the
long-coveted diplomas, so dear to all of us. The speakers of the day were
Prof. Meany, of the University of Washington; Ruth Conner and Solway
Kanneklkeberg. Prof. Meany delivered a most interesting and instructive
speech, and Ruth Conner, chosen by the Faculty, and Solway Kannekkeberg,
chosen by the Class, proved themselves well worthy of represent-ing our
class. Then here's to dear old B. S. N. S. May its lofty influence he
instrumental in leading us to higher aspirations and the fulfill-ment of
noble achievements. Class Motto: "Find a W1ay or Make It." Class Colors:
Olive Green and Gold. Class Flower: Marechal Niel Rose. 7i I-' Al

II Senior Class Poem II Springtime The hills are so green and inviting;
The bay is aglow wilh the sun; And so everylthin is enraptured With beauty
and sunlight and song. The rivulet flows wilh such smoothness; It drives
away care and remorse, As, clearly, it winds thru the meadows, And
clallers along in its course. The birds have returned wiih the
spring-time, And warble their songs in pure bliss, As they merrily flit
through the tree-tops, With them, nothing e'er goes amiss. And thus wilh
the youtlh in life's spring-time,-- He sings to his merry tune; The earth
is before him to conquer,- Let him sing while he may --it is June!

Their Tenth Annual Tour The "Big Four Quartette" of the Bellinghain Stale
Norminal School, composed of Mrs. Thatcher, Mr. Plarish, 1)Dr. Nash and
Mrs. Nash, are making their tenth annual concert tour. The custom w as
established in 1916. Many con certs have been given and nunmerous
acquaintances have been renewed amiong former stu-dents, particularly
among those of the class of 1916. The follow-ing, which was written iy one
of the members of lhce "Big Four," will )possibly interest our readers:
"O()ur first conce('(t was given in Ferndale, and immediaely after the
intermission the principal of the High School, who is now Nellie Balch,
came rushing upl to us, bringing with her Eber-tilla Erickson, Hclen
Monroe, Alta C(hichester, Helen Fell and Alice Shields, wlho are amnong
the high school staff. They all re-- g etted the absence of Edna
MacKinnon, who was mar1'ried la:st montlh. "At Portland we Iet Harriet
Abercrombie and Ada Wood. Miss Abericrombie informed us that Emma Jackson
was Ililager of the finest beauty parlors in the city, and that Fay
Breneman and Newton McCoy, the former president of the class of 1916,
were successful exporters of Castle Rock salmon. The second night here we
were introduced to Freeman Chute, manual training supervisor at Vancouver.
Among the 1)rincipals of the schools of that city were Hazel Gensman,
'Mrs. Alice Frits and Stella Goyne, while the music supervisor was Alice
Lund, who was so successful A in our music department at the normal. "In
the southern and central part of tle state at the town of Pineville we
were recognized by Maude Potter, now assistanti secretary to the counlty
auditor. When we reached Olympia the sad news was imparted to us that
Elva Uhler had, but a short time before, suddenly (died froim overeating.
WVe were imade forgetful of our sadness vwhen we met Elizabeth Mottmlan,
now the village dressmaker and gossip. She told us that Helen Leghorn is
still teaching; that Hanson Berg had p)roposed to her no less than six
times but she had rejected him even to the last; that Leitha Fulk was
working in the Fifteen Cent Store; that Marion Haycox was now secretary of
the cily Y. 1V. C. A.; that Anna Jacobson's engagement had bleen announced

to Paul Miescke of Bellingham; that Grace Michael and Margaret Russell had
established a home for the feeble minded. "This home and school for the
feeble minded interested us so very much that we decided to visit it the
next day. When we read the list of inmates we were horrified to find those
of Marion Lovejoy, Jean McElroy, Forrest Breakey, Edna Gooding and Ruth
Galber among the hundreds. The first night that we were in Seattle we were
amazed to have Mary Bestor, Solway Kanekkeberg, Alice Paulsen and Bessie
Love present Mrs. Thatcher with an exquisite bunch of roses im-mediately
after her solo, 'How Long Will the Asphalt in Pitch Iake Last?' As we were
leaving the auditorium we were invited by Ruth Henry to visit Chinatown
with her the following morn-ing. Other settlement workers were Daisy
Hunter, Martha John-son, May Refior, Gladys Taylor and Minnie Forbes. As
we re-turned to Frederick Nelson's for luncheon we were agreeably
surprised to find that the waitresses were all former students of our
Normal School and without exception of the class of 1916. Elsie Ainslie,
Bessie C. Albert, Edna Hanmmerlund and Freda Hallson were among those we
met. During our delightful repast a vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Jane
Colby, leading soloist of lunch room. Just after the coffee was served who
should come over and introduce herself but Mrs. J. Jones, who used to be
Linda Holtine, and with her was Gladys Kernaghan, whom we later learned
was her mnaid. When Dr. Nash stepped to the cashier's Sd esk to pay the
bill, lo and behold, who should be there in the cashier's chair but
Henrietta Utermark. As we were wending our way thru the crowd on the main
floor who do you suppose rushed up to me and heartily shook my hand? None
other than our for-mer pianist, June Matheny. "When we emlbarked on the
steamship "Tacoma" for Ta-come we were astounded to find Jason Nevins as
the purser on that liner. Can you iinagine our consternation when uplon
enter-ing the lunch roomi to find Elsie Ridlen the head waitress, with
May Reynolds as her assistant and her sister Goldie as dish-washer? On
board we met Leone Baker, who informed us that she was just returning from
buying her trousseau, and a little later we came upon Marine Hjaltaline,
who was loaded with boxes and bundles marked for 'Miss Ieone Baker.' As a
sudden fog had suddenly blown in from the ocean we were compelled to go

the cabin, where we were amused and entertained by readings and solos
given by Mary Hootman and Daisy Porter, accompanied on the piano by that
sweet-faced Mary Hemminger, who is the same young lady who was a formecr
student at our Normal School. "We chanced to lie in Everett the week that
they were hold-ing their semi-annual institute, and( even tho we were very
Imuclh rushed for time deci(le(I it woull lie better to attend and if
pos-sible lend a helping hand( to those whom we realize are endleavor-ing
to follow in our footsteps. Accordingly 8 o'clock found us with the
thousanii teachers read(y for roll call. Among those names which we
recognized( were Hazel Bigby, who is teaching in one of the rural schools;
Barbara Conroy, who was forced to re-turn to Puget Sound on account of her
health; Lulu Nelson, whom we hardly recognized on account of her snow
white hair; Kirby Smith, who we learned was now a gra(luate from the
University at Seattle. 1We were all so thankful, as the names of those
teach-ers became unfamiliar we were attracte( Iby the county secretary,
who was calling the roll. Indeed, her sweet voice could( not long have
been heard and not recognized, for it was Violet ,Marshall, now serving
her third tcrin for the county. After the roll call a calisthenic drill of
the primary teachers was given, conducted by Kathleen Skalley, who you
doubtless remember was an expert on the gymnasium floor. As we were going
aboard our boat after a delightful stol)over, whomi should we see on the
dock but two in-dividuals, namely, lEdythe and Ethel Tucker, who claim to
be twins but who still look as unlike as they did in the year of their
graduation. "We are not sure just when we will return, but hope that it
will be sometime within the next month. In the meantime re-member us to
your admirable p)resi(lent of the Normal School, Delbert Hennes and Ruth
Conner, the head of the Expression D)e-partment. If you chance to nmeet
Gertrude lMcMlahan give her our hearty congratulations over her
re-election as Mayor of Belling-hain." PHIOEBE BLALOCK. -77.7

Senior Class of High School We Seniors feel very proud of our
accomplishments this year. We are practically the first senior class of
the Normal High that has had a live organization, for we have made upl in
(luality what we lacked in quantity. We are a little band-there are only
about a dozen of us- nevertheless the whole High School has felt our
influence. The Board of Control was made up of Seniors and one poor
lonesome Junior! Yet the administration has been im-partial and just, we
hope, and we are all glad of the opportunity we had of serving our fellow
students. We do so hope that we may have regular graduation exercises and
diplomas. This is our last plea, and we trust it will be re-garded. As we
separate and go out to different work, may we keep the enthusiasm and
perseverance that has characterized the work of this year. Some will go
away, perhaps, but "more will stay at home." Anyway, may we be better
co-workers because of the little training we have had in our class, and
let us constantly place our ideals and amlbitions higher and higher. Thus
we may become better students, and later better citizens. Let us "hitch
our wagons to a star," and wherever we are called may we give our best
service. 97

Thespian Dramatic Club Since the organization of the Thespians six years
ago there has always been an interested and talented group of students
working for the good of the school as well as for aid which is received
from the work in the club. The Thespian Club is the only real dramatic
club in the Nor-mal School and its memblers are chosen by a committee of
stu-dents and faculty advisors with the idea of having as its members
those with distinct dramatic ability. This year, with Miss Sumner and Mr.
Hoppe as sponsors for the club, much has heen accoml)lished in learning of
the actors and plays of the day. For instance, one of our programs was on
the play "Grumpy," played in New York and Boston last winter hy Cyril
Maud, who has since gone into the moving pictures. Another evening was
spent with Eleanor Robson andi her wonder-ful play, "The D)awn of a
Tomorrow." A type of dramatic work which has been known for many years
but thought little of is the p)antomnime. Miss Sumner's work here has
shown us how much can be accomplished when no actual sound is made, and
one of our most enjoyable programs was the one on the history of the
plantomime, its p)ossibilities, and one given by a group. We have had
plleasant evenings besides those in which work was done. There was the
initiation for the new menimbers in Sep-tember, when the club rooils were
beautifully decorated in the colors, pink and lavender, with asters in the
same shades used as the flowers. Of course there were refreshinents an(d
plenty of them, then as a fitting close we all gathered round the piano
and sang songs, both old and new. Then came the candy pull after a
program. Miss Wilson, who was elected an honorary member, was present, and
it is queer how sticky some candy can be. Dr. Nash was an unexpected guest
at one of our meetings and ex-pressed his approval of the work which we
were doing. That was appreciated to its fullest extent, for we want every
one to know just what we are doing and gaining. When the cold weather
came it looked as tho our meetings would have to be postpone(d, but
instead of not having a regular meeting, we had a sleigh ride. It was a
cold, windy night, and 7.777. , .

even Mr. Hoppe got cold ears and feet, or just naturally frozen, for he
decided to go home after a short ride thru town. However, the rest of the
party enjoyed the ride to its fullest extent. With the new semester came
new officers into office, and they have p)roved capable and splendid. The
officers are as fol-lows: HENRY ASH MAN - - - - - - - - President
K\ATHILEEN SKALLEY--- - - - Vice President ANNE LARSON ------- Secretary
W I:R JoHNSON -- ---- Treasurer NAT MOUNT - ----- Sergeant-at-Arms
I)ou(IAS HANBLoo - - - - Biusincss Manlaer The Thespians have been able,
with the aid of the two faculty advisors, to produce three public
programs or plays. The first was "The Private Secretary," under Mr.
Hoppe's direction, and Iproved highly entertaining, with its queer
situations, combined with a successful handling of the comedy. The others
were "The Bishop's Candlesticks," a sketch taken from Victor Hugo's "Les
Miserables," and "The Mishaps of Minerva." Both sketches were artistic in
every detail, and the casts are to be complimented on the splendid work
they did, thanks to Miss Sumner's untiring efforts. She was always ready
to give inspiration and help when at times it appeared almost hopeless.
The Christmas banqluet should not he forgotten, for it is well worth
remembering. In the private dining room of the Leopold the tables were set
iin the letter "T1" and decorated with a Christ-mas tree, shaded cand(les
and pIlace cards with Christmas embl)lems on theim. New members were
initiatedi in March and a jolly party was given after the program. St.
Patrick's emblems were in evi-dence and the tables were beautilul in
greens and pussy willows. The refreshments were some never to be
forgotten. The annual banquet given the Seniors, at which all of the
Alumni who can are present, was beautiful, and the toasts and speeches, not
forgetting the songs, were worthy of all those Thes-pians taking part. So
with a word of farewell we say, "Live Ever Thespians." 102

Ihat's we. Rah! Rah! Rah! good cheer to you, The Alkisiahs always Irrue,
The purple and the golden hue Is for me and is for you. Alkisiahs! There
is something in this name that Irieathes of culture, enjoyment and, best
of all, school spirit. For certainly the club has supl)orted all
activities connected with the Normal, and has grown up side by side with
the school. The society was organized under the direction of Miss Ida Baker
in 1906(. At present the Alkisiahs number forty-eight. Each member is
pro-gressive, energetic, and feels the responsibility of mak ing the club
improve with each year of its existence. Although the society is purely
literary, the school is en-livened quite frequently by the Alkisiahs'
social evenings. The first social affair of the year was the party given
in ilonor of the new members, which was in the nature of an initiation.
Another enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Leitha Fulk, where we
were entertained with a Thanksgiving program, games, and later a taffy
pull. The society also enjoyed a delightful Christmas program and each
memlber received a mirth- provoking gift, as well as a diminu-tive
Christmas stocking. The annual narcissus sale was a success in every
respect and many girls' rooms were made cheery and fragrant by these
flowers. The new president, Leah A. Dudgeon, took the chair at the
beginning of the second semester, and Arleen C. Cusick, the for-mer
president, retired after a term of faithful service. ........ '7

The first social event of the new year was the chafing dish party, at
which the Alkisiahs were at home to their friends. Then came the big event
of the year, the banquet in honor of the new members. This was held at the
Leopold Hotel and was a success from beginning to end. After the toasts
the club attended the American Theatre as the guests of the club advisor,
Mliss Willoughby, to see Cyril Maude in "Peer Gynt." Another theatre party
was given when the Alkisiahs went to see Mary Pickford in the role of "Cho
Cho San" in Puccini's opera, "Madame Butterfly." On the evening of March
17 the club was entertained by the new membiers at a clever St. Patrick's
party. The club room was gayly decorated in green. A program of Irish airs
and stories was given, followed by numerous Irish stunts-even to the
kiss-ing of the Blarney Stone. Dainty refreshments in green and white
were served, and the new members were voted most royal enter-tainers. The
work of the society, however, is not neglected. During the year each
program has been instructive as well as entertain-ing. Questions of the
day have been discussed and the lives and works of dramatists of several
nations have been studied. Among them were Ibsen, Hauptman, Maeterlink,
Rostand, Barrie, Lady Gregory and others. The Messenger reporters, Ella
Anderson and Maude Carfield, have kept the Normalites aware of the fact
that the Alkisiahs are up and doing, and have kept the club proceedings
in I)romi-nence. As all good things must end, so must this year-one which
we feel has been filled with the very best we could give it, and one which
has given enjoyment, friendships and instruction in return. At the last
social function of the year, a banquet in honor of the graduates and
alumnae of the society, a grand reunion was held at the Hotel Leopold,
before dispersing for our future work. We feel sure that the society has a
great future and the Alki-siahs who go out into the world will not )e
forgotten, for the say-ing, "Once an Alkisiah, always an Alkisiah," will
be remembered. MAUDE CARFIELD, Reporter. LA IL

Social Democratic Club Our Social-Democratic Club was first organized in
the be-ginning of the school year 1913-14 by a group of young men and
women who were intensely interested in the study of social con-ditions. In
their petition to the faculty for the privilege of organizing the club
they stated that their aim should be to make an intelligent study of
Socialism and social p)roblems. Records show that this aim must have been
kept constantly in mind throughout the year, although the lighter, gayer
si(le of lie!' was not entirely neglected. The wonderful spirit of the
first ycar has heen kept alive in these two succeedling years. This year
\we have had lectures by members of the faculty, by ineibcrs of the
student bodty, and also by men from outside of the school. The Ope()n Forum
is a main feature of each program, and the discussion in this has been
well directed bly our patron, D)r. Herre, and by our faculty meiim-hers,
Mr. Bever, Mrs. Termat and Mr. Edson. The following is a partial list of
lectures given this year: "Conditions in Europe," Dr. Herre. "Alaska
Schools," Prof. Parish. "Civilization, Its Cause and Its Cure," Mrs.
Ternmat. "Life in the Navy," Mr. Harlow. "Life in the Army," Mr. Russell.
"Science vs. Superstition," Mr. Philippi. "Preparedness" (against), Miss
Lucy Norton. "Socialism," Mr. Swartz. "Evolution" (illustrated lecture),
Mr. Moodie. "Settlement Work," Miss Nickerson. "The Invincible
Government," Judge Pemberton. "American Democracy," 'Mr. Minnis.
"American Work in Armenia," Miss Vollmer. "Socializing Religion," Mr. Beer.
For our musical programs we are indebted to Miss Liddell, Miss
McCoonimbs, Olive Bowman, Olive Pearson, Miss Birney, Marion Lovejoy, Mrs.
Colby, Dr. Herre and the Glee Club. Miss Alma Nyquist, Grace Salmon,
D)icie Myers, Miss Conner and Mrs. Belle Norton each gave very interesting
readings. We extend to the club of coming years our very best wishes, and
hope their members may feel the loyalty to the cause which was shown by
the first organizers and by the members of 1915-16. ...

CHRONICLES OF THE PHILOMIATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY In the beginning of the
first week of the first month of the seventh year, there returned to the
Philomathean Literary Society, a most worthy order of the Castle of
Learning on the Hill of Knowledge, sixteen of its brave knights and
gracious ladies who had gone forth from the gates of the castle to impart
wisdom to all mankind. Now the head priestess of the order had dwelt all
these years within the walls of the castle and welcomed most joy-fully
these knights and ladies as they crossed the moat and laid their
trophies-the fruits of their experiences-at her feet. Now according to the
plrecedents of the order, from this goodly number the members selected the
most fit for their leaders. Sir Herbert Heath, a gallant knight, chose
they for their head, Sir Jason Nevins first attendant, Lady Celia Gibson
the keepler of the coffers, Sir Frederick Klaus the defender of their
honor, and Sir John Kaup the general promoter of all good things, gave
they to the Head for his helpers. Within this domain were many courtiers
who nought admit-tance to the various orders of the castle, and from these
the Philos, according to their custom, took unto themselves the most
worthy, until their number was forty. On the evening of the sixteenth day
of the month of Septenm-her all the members, old and new, met in the
inner shrine of the castle, where the old related the events of their
wanderings and( the new expressed their gratitude and great joy at the
honor shown them by their accep)tance into this most worthy order. On the
evening of the second day of the month of October, a great event was
celebrated, according to a custom of the Orient. The new members of the
order were initiated into the mysteries and proving themselves obedient to
all the commands of the ceremony, were admitted into the sanctum, where
they have worked much good to the order. Much work have the Philos (done
this year and great has been their reward. Four sets of officers have had
training in maintainining the good of the order. Every member has had
ex-perience in appearing in public in various ways. Due honor has been
shown our poets and noted men. Programs have been dedi-cated to Burns,
Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, and Ire-land's patron saint. St.
Valentine, could he have been a visitor at the leap year party, would have
been amazed at the honor shown him, even as the knights were amazed at the
honor shown 111

them. It came to pass that these brave knights were convinced that the
ladies of the order possessed the graciousness and cour-tesy of their
ancestors and in addition the courage of the new woman. The head
priestess of the order, Miss Jensen by name, in addition to her untiring
efforts to promote the general welfare of the order, has given at her home
a series of parties long to be remembered. And yet again, not here do
these chronicles end. but in the heart of every Philo will he cherished
the friendships formed, will be treasured the influence of the head
priestess, and will be re-membered the joy of congenial companionship.
HAYS LITERARY SOCIETY As we look back upon that plhase of the work which
has so largely occupied the attention of the club, it is with mingled
sad-ness and regret that we see the curtain about to be drawn upon the
final act of the drama. We who have thru close contact learned to know and
appreciate our fellow members, shall never forget the debt we owe to each
other and to her for whom our organization is named, for a large part of
the success and happi-ness which has been ours. Activities opened in
September with an evening at the Cabin on the Lake, where our thirty girls
were welcomed by the faculty members, who had prepared a most substantial
chicken dinner. This haunt of many a jolly gathering produced that night a
most favorable impression upon all new members. Formal initiation
ceremonies took place on October 14 in the club rooms, where the Magic
Circle was formed. Though since broken by the members who left us at
different times, this circle is now complete by the addition of new
members, with whom we entrust in part the future of our work. At the
organization meeting these officers were elected for the semester: EMILY
PETERSON - ----- President MINNIE PAULSON - ----- Secretary LULAH RADLEY
-- Tr-e- Oasurer RUBY ELLINGTON ----- Sergeant-at-Arms During the last
semester attention was given at the regular meetings to current day
topics, combined with music, readings * it 1

and "spreads." One very interesting Alaskan program was given, at which
Prof. Parish spoke on "Alaskan Literature." Yet the meetings seemed few
until we were gathered round the fireplace in the faculty room, which
annually is the scene of our Christ-mas festivities. The tree served only
a decorative purpose, since all gifts were sent to make happier one of the
homes of the city. "6 On January 8 a luncheon was given at the Leopold
Hotel in honor of our midyear graduates. Among the thirty-five for whom
1)lates were laid were Dr. and Mrs. Nash, the former of whom addressed the
gathering. After the holidays work hegan in earnest. At the first
busi-ness meeting the following officers were elected: CALISTA WASHBUIIN -
---- President JUNE IATHENY ..--- Secretary HELENA STENVIG - - - - - - -
Treasurer RUBY ELLINGTON - - - - - Sergeant-a-A rms EDINA MCKINNON -
----- Reporter A detailed plan was laid out for a study of the modern
drama. Cur work has been to take up the lives of writers in connection
with the presentation of scenes from their plays. We have laid particular
emphasis upon Maeterlinck, Ibsen, Galsworthy, Lady Gregory, and the Irish
Dramatic Revival. Scenes from "The Blue- bird," "The Doll's House," and
from "The Birds' Christmas Carol," as draimatized by Kate Douglas Wiggin,
have been rather hastily worked up, but they have served to give pretty
clear impressions of what the modern stage is trying to present to the
public. Themes of such plays as Galsworthy's "Mob" and "Justice" have
been given in a very interesting fashion. We only regret that the time has
been all too short for a thoro study to have been made of this most
fascinating subject. But we hope that future mem- bers of the H. L. S.
will continue in some of the plans which we have merely begun.
Unanimously we give to Miss Hays the credit for anything of value which we
have been able to acconmplish. She has been un-tiring in her efforts to
give us the very best in every line of work with which we have dealt, and
the inspiration of her personality shall have counted for much after all
immediate ties will have been broken. To our successors we leave the
splendid opportunity for the molding of friendships which shall be strong
and lasting, and an earnest desire for their success. EDNA McKINNON. ;"

Young Women's Christian Association "Not I But Christ." There was one
organization ready to work the very first day school opened in September;
not only ready but enthusiastic and eager to be at work. What was this
organization? What was its work? Do you remlemiber how lost you felt in
trying to find your class rooms and teachers? Do you remember the girls
who gladly showed you the way? Yes, they belonged to the Y. W. C. A. The
association work began that first day and has been going on throughout
the entire year. Our first devotional meet-ing was held Sunday afternoon,
September 12, in the Association room. Miss Sands led and gave a beautiful
message to all the girls present. A lovely reception was held soon after
the opening of school, to which all the Normal students were invited. The
meetings this year have been exceptionally good, so in-spiring and full of
hell). At our first meeting in October we were fortunate in having with us
Miss Mary Baxter, a missionary from China, who was in this country on
furlough and has since re-turned to her work in China. We have received
many interest-ing letters from her telling of her work there. October 21st,
Miss Griffith, secretary of girls' work in New York City, was with us and
spoke to us on the subject of "Leadership." From November 15th to 19th, in
harmony with other associa-tions, we observed the "World's W\\eek of
Prayer." A different country was taken each day as a subject for thought
and prayer. On Tuesday, November 23rd, we held our Thanksgiving meeting.
Georgina Sharples led and Miss Sands brought to us a beautiful message in
song. The meeting was helpful to all be-cause all had so many things to be
thankful for. "It was truly good to have been there." December 16th we
held our Christmas meeting in the audi-torium, and Mrs. McAbee from
Seattle brought us the message, taking as her subject "The Guiding Star."
We had a true Christ-mas message to take home with us during vacation, and
we hope that He may be the Guiding Star in the life of each Y. W. girl.
January 13th Miss Hopkins, general students' secretary of the Northwest,
was with us and told us of the jubilee and what the association is doing
in other places. 777 - 777

We have been having many speakers from out of town with us this year, and
again on January 27th Mr. Holding, a missionary !: from China. His topic
was "Be Willing to Take the Last Step," and was full of interest and
thought. Our Jubilee meetings began February 10th and lasted until March
2nd. Miss Fox was with us part of the meetings and also Miss Schram, an
out of town Y. W. worker. Our Bible Institute was unusually good this
year. We have also in our association a Student Volunteer Band which has
been ihaving good nieetings each Sunday, afternoon. We have also in our
association a Student Volunteer Band which has been having good meetings
each Sunday afternoon. This year, too, they have been sending out
deputations to the different young people's societies of the city. There
are also mission study classes and Bible study classes with a very large
enrollment. We have in addition to the work already mentioned a cafe-teria
which is doing practical work to many of the school. The cabinet members

Young Men's Christian Association OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER KIRBY SMITH -
- - - - - - - President FRANK HUBBARD - - - - Vice President FRED CRASKE
-.- ----- Secretary WALTER JOHNSON .---- Treasurer Our association has
been in existence a year and a half, and during this comparatively brief
period has tried to hold fast to its Christian motto of service. That it
has been successful is fully substantiated by considering the work it has
done for the welfare of the student. Under Mr. Jones and Mr. Heath's
guidance (luring the school terms of 1915 the association builded a firm
foundation. In the latter part of Mr. Heath's term as president we had one
notal)le social event, a stag mixer, and it certainly was a "mixer." The
employment bureau was active during this period and achieve(l some
practical results. It, however, has been left to our present regime, in
which Mr. Kirby Smith has been the leader, that our efforts have been
crowned with more than success. In the opening month of the year
(January) we p)articipated in an enjoyable social event with the members
of the Y. W. C. A. Beginning January 20th a membership campaign was
insti-tuted with Mr. W. Johnson, Mr. S. Carlton and Mr. Hubbard as
leaders. The campaign and its corresponding result is one of the landmarks
of our history. The material increase of our member-ship was not the only
aspect of the campaign, for the spirit inani-fested throughout that busy
time foretells a progressive associa- K,:: tion. This memorable campaign
culminated in sending seven members to the college Y. M. C. A.'s
conference, which was held in Seattle on February 11, 12 and 13. The
most practical work we have done during the present semester has been
through our employment bureau, of which Mr. H. Berg is the chairman. Upon
Mr. Berg's suggestion the association carried out an extensive advcrtisng
campaign fo, the purpose of soliciting employment. The result was
gratifying, for many students were given enmlloymient. It does not take
a seer to point out the destiny of our associa-tion. The bygone days tell
their story and the eyes of faith and hope can see visions which make the
heart of the Christian rejoice. FRED H. CRASKE, Secretary. M-1 V.'Te

The Normal Art Club Last fall, while clubs representing various lines of
work were being reorganized and formed, a need was felt for a club given
exclusively to the study of art. Miss Rhodes and Miss Beardsley kindly
consented to act as sponsors of such a club, alnd a ineeting of all those
interested in art was called. Quite a number responded and a club was
organized, with Winnifred Wadsworth, president; Harriet Standke, vice
presi-dent; Virginia Fox, secretaly, and l)oris Compton, treasurer.
Anyone interested could join, and members of the faculty were taken in as
associate members. The object of the club was to study the works of the
great masters, foster a spirit of art alpplreciation in the school, and to
give a chance for practical work from life to those who had a special
talent for sketching. The club was then divided into two sections. one,
the appre-ciation section, devoted entirely to the study of works of art,
and the other, the sketching section, giving its time to sketching only.
These sections meet twice each month and take up their regular lines of
work. Under the guidance of Miss Beardsley, the appreciation sec-tion has
taken up the study of the Renaissance of art in Italy. Giotto, Ghiberti,
Della Robbia, I)onatello, Fra Angelico, Andrea Del Sarto, Botticelli, Fra
Bartolomnea, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo and others have
been studied. Through the use of the lantern, copies of the masterpieces
have been thrown onto the screen where all could see and enjoy them. The
significance of the pictures, the lines and work of the masters,
conditions under which they worked, and the p)rincil)les of art known at
the time were then discussed by club members. This has been a very
interesting diversion, and now that we understand those old masters we
have learned to love them. During this time the sketching section has not
been idle. Twice each month they have met and sketched from models. This
work has been entirely a new field for many of the club members, and under
the guidance and inspiration of Miss Rhodes, has proved to be intensely
interesting. A variety of characters have been sketched; Mary Kean, as an
immigrant; Mr. Leniach in his engineer's clothes; Stella Lovejoy as an
Italian peasant; Ruby Colbert as a Turkish woman; Hazel Dickson as Martha

ton; Louisa Vulliet a gypsy, and our janitor, Mr. Grady. Thanks is due to
these kindly disposed people who so generously gave of their time and
posed for us. When the weather became pleasant during the spring the model
was posed out of doors and the land-scape sketched in as well. The
social side has not been neglected either, for at different times
throughout the year joint meetings have been held. The most memorable of
these were the cafeteria lunch, the trip to Miss Hay's cabin and the times
Miss Rhodes and Miss Stephen entertained at their respective homes. One
privilege of the club was to give an exhibit of outside work during the
year. The club began these exhibits in a modest way just before Christmas
by holding an exhibit in the faculty room of the prints of Carl Larsson,
the well known Swedish painter of home life. Mr. Larsson had become
familiar to many members ol the school by his fine exhibit at the San
Francisco exposition. Our exhibit was visited by students, faculty and
towns folk and much enjoyed by all. Present officers: HENRIETTA UTERMARK

task. Our aim has been to promote further interest in literary work, and
we feel justified in saying that we have reached the desired end. In the
first day of October we met together for the first time .; to order. A
constitution was drawn up and signed. The name Aletheia was given to the
club, meaning "Truth." A worthy set of officers were elected to launch the
new organization. We opened the new club expectant of many enjoyable
times, but when, on December 9, Mr. Hunt, our sponsor, announced his
intention of leaving to do work in the High School, we felt our-selves
lost. Happily we found in the faculty a new member, Mr. Parish, whom we
have learned to love and who has served as a sponsor with brilliant
success. Who will forget the Christmas tree on December 16, loaded with
presents for every member? The Christmas songs by Mr. Parish rang in our
ears long after we had departed and gone to our respective homes. On the
evening of January 20 the domestic science room was the scene of a pretty
banquet in honor of our departing midyear graduates, Miss Bertha Vol Nagel
and Miss Florence Chapin. Dr. and Mrs. Nash and Mr. Chapin were our guests
of honor. The room was beautifully decorated in red and white, the club
colors, and many interesting toasts followed. We all enjoyed our evening
with "Daddy" Parish when he took us on a trip to learn something about
sunny Italy, conducted personally by Dr. Nash. On returning we were all
served with bread and milk, all day suckers, then sent home. We found
that our society contained expert debaters, readers and musicians, so we
gathered at a track meet to learn something about their lung capacity,
fleetness of foot, appetite and strength. It was too bad the athletic
season was so near at an end or we could have shown more of our great
strength. I must not forget to mention the fact that we also have capable
lawyers in our midst. Helen Eagan and Ed Rairdon made the mock court trial
of the case Mattson vs. Holbrook a very ex-citing one. We meet together
every other Thursday evening, and so much has happened it would take a
great deal of room to tell it all. St. Patrick's day must be remembered.
Roll call was an-swered by Irish jokes and a typical Irish program,
followed by debate and games. CHRISTINE MATTSON, Reporter. L. ll ' . "-

City Y. W. C. A. Notes "And just what is the Y. W. C. A. sisterhood," did
I hear you ask? It is just the jolliest, most happy-go-lucky bunch of
girls you ever met, without a single misunderstanding for a whole school
year except for the time when a certain young man made the serious mistake
of inviting two of the girls to an entertain-ment. Then such tears and
such haughty looks that fairly froze the blood of the sympathetic
onlookers as there was at the Y. W. C. A. for a few days! But like all
thunderstorms, the trouble soon blew over and was forgotten. Only, for the
benefit of the few young men who may read these lines, take heed and
profit by this sad tale and when calling at the Y. W. C. A., either bring
another young man with you (which is by far more prelerable), or only
invite one young lady at a time. You would like to meet the girls? Why,
that is the easiest thing in the world. Just put on your jolliest smile
and I will introduce them. The young lady who comes walking rapidly
toward us is none other than Gertrude McMahan, president of the Students'
Association and the roommate of Mary Jane Bestor, the Y. W. C. A.'s sure
cure for the blues, in other words, happiness. I believe Miss Mary Jane
was at one time president of the Seattle Club but has tried to conceal the
fact by being the joke editor of the Klipsun. That girl who is the center
of so much hilarity is Miss Cassie Cales, loved by all the girls. She was
formerly manager of the Normal cafeteria and now is president of that of
the Y. W. C. A. The quiet young lady who is vainly trying to restrain Miss
Cales is Frances Bonell, our literary critic of whom we are so proud.
Helen Peterson, whose laugh we hear above the talking. is the "Cunning
Infant" who took English VIlId under Miss \oll-mer, and now is patiently
toiling to win a button in Palmer Methods. The demure little girl who is
observing the fun? That is Sara Lopp, or as we love to call her, "Our
Sally." Good things come in small packages, for Sally is president of the
Sourdough Club and a member of the Normal Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. What's
that? You heard someone call "Merry Christmas!" No, they are not crazy
from the warm May weather, they were D. .

merely calling Miss Merry Christmas I)ay, who once in a great while
entertains us with her singing. Her roommate, Miss Ruth Galber, our noted
authority on forestry and the associate editor of the Klipsun, spent a
very ex-citing half hour one evening while Dr. Kirkpatrick was calling on
Merry, sick with La Grippe. It so happened it was swimming night at the
house and Ruth foolishly dallied too long in getting ready. As the doctor
came unexpectedly Ruth was ol)liged to patiently and quietly wait in the
clothes closet till he left. You would like to meet the young lady with
the big brown eyes, you say. That is Miss Dorothy Gatton our taleiited
artist. Nor are we lacking in brilliant stu(lents. There is Norma Bardon,
whose ability to recite is a source of leasure to all; Ade-laide Mitchell,
our "geometrical genius," who patiently toils to prove "things equal to
the same thing are eqlUal to each other"; Gladys White, who quotes
psychology by the hour and is striving to find the Missing Link in the
theory of evolution, and Mary Trunkey, who has written an invaluable book
on the sublject, "Mrs. Samson's Ideas on Teaching Geography." Yes,
indeed, the parlor is often used in the evening. Miss Frances McCorkle
esp)ecially, tacks the busy sign on the door quite frequently. One of our
girls most important to the Normal students is Mary Chapin who, five days
a week, suplies food for the inner nman. Are you interested in fancy
work? If so consult Hilda Rein-seth for patterns in crocheting. I)o not
be alarmed. That strange shriek you just heard w as only Agnes Laufman
practicing her vocal lesson. That was her faithful chum who just came in,
Harriet Abercrombie, whom we all believe will some lay become the second
Mrs. Termaat. Dame Fashion is represented in the Y. 1V. C. A. as well as
the Arts and Sciences. Miss Elsie Day is our best authority on the styles
of 1917. With the New Year came a new mai(I into our house, Marie
Strickler, who was fortunate enough to know a member of the Wenatchee
bashethall team when it was here. Of course we were not jealous! But the
New Year also took from us two of our old friends, Solway Kanekkeberg,
Senoir Class replresentative, anid lalle Hauge, both of whom have been
misse(1 by all the girls. FLORENCE LYNCH. 127

Club For some time previous to 1915 the school had felt the need of a new
organization, one that should be exclusive and that should train its
members to perform the social work of rural com-munities. It was to meet
these needs that the Rural Life Club was organized early in the year with
Miss Keeler and Mr. Hulse as sponsors for the new organization. Mr. Bond
was chosen as the third member by the unanimous vote of the club. Whatever
successes the club may have attained have been due in no small measure
to the generous work of our faculty members. The club is inclusive, having
one hundred twenty members. These meet in three separate groups for study
and practice under the direction of our sponsors. Our club prides itself
on being democratic. New officers are elected each quarter and new group
officers at each meeting in order to give actual practice to the greatest
number possible. Meetings are held twice each month. The first hour of the
evening is spent in work and the second in literary programs, with all
imembners present. At these programs we have enjoyed excellent talks by
Dr. Nash, Miss Keeler, Mr. Bond and Miss Everett. With our work we do
not forget the social side. The frolics in the big gymnasium, with music,
games and refreshments are one of the club's special features. We feel
that we can say without boasting that our club is fulfilling its purpose,
due to the excellent spirit among its mem- L bhers and to our most
excellent sponsors. 129

Industrial Club The tremulous battery, Earth, Responds to the touch of

Industrial Club was organized and adopted its constitu-tion in early
October, 1915. The members of this organization have striven to live up to
its purpose, which is "the promotion of efficiency of its members, and
the extension of interest in the industrial education in the state of
Washington." The most interesting phase of our club work has been that of
excursions. These excursions have consisted of trips to indus-trial
centers in and about Bellingham. In the fall we visited D)onovan's Lumber
Mill, the Pacific Steam Laundry and the Bellingham Ice Plant. We visited
the Royal Dairy Model Farm and the cement plant this spring. Another
interesting feature has been deImonstrations and talks. These have been
given by: Dr. Newbill-"Cold Pack Canning Process." Mrs. Jones-"Rural
School Achievement Clubs." Dr. Herre-"Vocalional Guidance." Prof. Shaw,
of Minnesota-"Agricultural Possibilities in Washington." Dr.
Nash-"Personal Experiences in the Musical World of Germany." Now for our
parties and general good times: January 27-New members were initiated into
the mysteri's of our club. After the serious side of things came the
"stunts," enjoyed at the new members' expense. After the little sup-per,
served by Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby, we sang and finished the evening's
entertainment in merry style. January 29-An unusual experience in
Washington was en-joyed by the club in the form of a sleigh ride. Only
those who have had such an experience can conceive of the thrilling joys
of that afternoon in the big bob-sled. Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby, as
our chaperones, enjoyed it with us. We will not forget the St. Patrick's
day party, held on March 16, for many moons. It was, in truth, an Irish
party. Our club extends thanks to those who, though not members,

helped us in our musical programs. Prof. Parish and Mr. Glo-man did much
toward the enjoyment of these programs, and Miss Lovejoy entertained us
with readings. The efforts of those connected with the club are much
ap-preciated. Miss Ormsby and Mr. Scudder have helped us in more ways
than we can mention. Miss McCown and Mr. Chute, honor-ary members, have
been especially energetic and helpful. Various committees, and others in
the club who have aided in making our organization a success, deserve a
vote of thanks. CLIB OFFICERS THOMAS ScASETH --- -- -President MR. D.

Notes The College Club was organized early in the school year for social
purposes, the only requirement for membership being that each should have
attended college for at least one semester. Sev-eral schools are
represented in the membership, our own state university suplplying by far
the greatest numlber. Washington State College, Whitworth, the University
of Oregon, 0. A. C., the University of Montana, Willamette University,
Cornell, Pratt In-stitute and Pacific University are also represented.
Miss Sumner was chosen for faculty member by the club. Mr. Bond has also
been one of our most enthusiastic and earnest boosters. A banquet was
held at the Leopold Hotel soon after the for-mation of the club. Soon
after this Miss Marion Lane entertained the members at her home on
Eldridge avenue. Mr. Gloman only recently held open house for us. One of
the most enjoyable events in the student activities of the year was the
College Capers, which was held on Saturday evening, April 1st, with over
one hundred invited guests in attend-ance. Extensive preparations had been
made for making this one of the most lively and care-dispelling affairs,
especially since it was scheduled for All-Fools' day. There were side
shows, free ___ _ -

throws at the renowned "dodger," "teeters" for young and those not so
young. One of the best fun- producers was the "slide," which was placed
at the entrance of the large training school gymnasium, where the
festivities were held. This completely filled the door-w ay and served as
the only means of admittance. It was great fun watching the faculty
members, and especially did Mrs. Thatcher bring forth applause from the
onlookers. At the bottom of the slide "jitneys" met the guests and
trans-ported them to various p)arts of the premises, to the side shows,
cozy corners and other places of interest. In the program of the evening
the "Big Four" quartet of the faculty were represented lby members of the
club. The crowd was entertained more by the peculiar "make-ups" than by
the music which was dispensed. Andrew Shold and Thomas Scarseth put on a
Swedish dialect sketch, and those present heartily enjoyed the scene,
which cen-tered about the question as to which was the better
elocutionist. The chief number on the program was the "Village School,"
as portrayed by memlbers of the Normal faculty. Miss Norton assumed the
responsible position of schoolmistress and Prof. Bever was the visiting
member of the "hoard." Mr. Bond in Buster Brown attire, Prof. Phillipi
with towseled hair, and Dr. Deerwester as the "teacher's pet," was
certainly irresistible. Mrs. Terniaat and the "Twins" played their parts
to perfection. The spelling match and program occupied the principal part
of the school work, and they drew generous applause from all. We know now
that our staid and dignified faculty members can chew gum, pull hair and
do other stunts commonly found in the village schoolroom (not in the
training school). The Ukulele Club furnished music throughout the evening
and was the center of attraction for much of the time. After "weenie"
sandwiches had been carefully stored away, the final act of the evening's
comedy took place. This was in the nature of a flashlight picture, with
the "Village School" occupying a prominent position in the foreground. A
"bug hike" to Whatcom Falls was indulged in by the club the second week in
April. Each one carried his own "bug," which supplied light whenever light
was needed. At the Falls weenies Sw ere roasted and eaten to the rhythm of
ghost stories, weird and awful. At the close of the evening's pleasures
several returned home afoot, the remainder taking the car in preference.

The Normal Glee Club An organization of young men, led by Mrs. Thatcher,
have been practicing diligently since school started, first to help in
giv-ing school entertainments, and later on the comic opera, "Mikado."
Under the able leadership of Mrs. Thatcher we were able to give several
selections before the assembly and before a combined meeting of the Rural
Life Club and the Social-Democratic Club. Early in November we journeyed
to Marietta, where we fur-nished the program for a basket social. The trip
was especially enjoyed because of the fact that the stage that Mr. Parish
rode in broke down and had to be towed in by the other stage. Since the
first of the year we have been practicing hard on the comic opera "Mikado,"
which was given April 28, 1916. This was staged jointly by the Girls'
Choral Club and the Boys' Glee Club, and it goes without saying that the
play was a success. Choral Club 'The Choral Club, under the direction of
Mrs. Thatcher, repre-sents one of the most enthusiastic and helpful
organizations of the school. The membership is larger than ever before.
The past year has been a pleasant and profitable one for each and every
member. The scheme of having a program of two or three numbers at the
weekly meetings has been successfully carried out and some exceptionally
good talent has been discovered among the members. S Early in January the
club rendered two selections in honor of the county superintendents, and
January 21 gave an excellent number at the commencement exercises. The
best work of the club has been done on the oratorio, "The Messiah," and
the opera "The Mikado." The training in this work has been of very great
value. The officers of the club are as follows: STELLA GOYNE -- ----

Sourdough Club Some eighteen or more students from various parts of Alaska
who attended the 1915 Summer School session decided to hand together and
form a club. A lively clubl was soon organized, pur-posing to welcome all
new 'Alaskan students; ait( and( assist new teachers blound for Alaska; to
interest and acq(uaint other people with the true life and beauty of the
Northland. School work was very pressing, as all Normalites know, but
nevertheless we found time for some jolly social gatherings, beach parties
and hikes for Sehome. The officers and members for the summer term were:
Hanson Berg, Chief; Sara Lopp, Keeper of Nuggets; Marie Thonmesen,
Tra(dition Carver. Ruth Hall, lKetchikan; Mrs. Tupper, Fairbanks;
Gertrude Wylbrant, Metlakahtla; Elizabeth Boyle, Juneau; Agnes l)anford,

Douglas; Ida (rosse; June Matheny, Bert Harlowv, Miss Maude Drake, Miss
Turney, Emmnnia Jackson, l)r. Nash, honorary membler, Miss M. Z. Wilson.
Shortly after the ol)ening of the fall term of school the fol-lowing
officers were elected and new imemlhers p)resented for mem-bership: Bert
Harlow, Chief; Sara Loppl, Keeper of Nuggets and Tradition Carver. We
were glad to receive many new imemibers, both from the faculty and student
body. Greetings of the club were extended to the following good and tried
Sourdoughs: Mr. Parish, of the faculty; Mr. Rindall, of the faculty; Miss
Ethel Brown, of the faculty; Miss Nellie Lee, of the faculty; Caro- line
Kelsie, Valdez, Alaska; Nonna Petellin, Afognak, Alaska; Helmi Aalto,
Douglas, Alaska; John Estes, Nome, Alaska; Andrew Teweit, Southeastern
Alaska; Bert Ward, Southeastern Alaska; Lulu Dieckoff, Truman Parish.
Other members returning for school work were Sara Lopp), Ida Grosse, Bert
Harlow, Emma Jackson, June Matheny, Hanson Berg. We were sorry to lose
Miss Jackson and Miss Grosse from our number, but they happily completed
their work earlier than we and mushed to other scenes. The officers that
will greet members of the summer school are: Sara Lopp, Chief; Helmni
Aalto, Carver of Traditions; June Matheny, Keeper of Nuggets. 139

first appeared in our amoeba state as the Swastika and Delphian societies;
then we grew to the state of real life; and now we have reached that
highest state of advance, namely, the Hesperians. Through all these
stages we have exhibited remarkable pre-cocity and wisdom. Even our
respected opponents, the Klohoy-ans, acknowledge us the leading literary
society in school, do they not? (They do not). Which is to be sus - excuse
me-expected. Our programs, as well as we ourselves, have been good. I
mean it. We have musicked, read, recited, sung and debated. We have
pondered and considered questions all the way from "whether Shakespeare's
'Macbeth' is considered one of the great-est plays," to "which came first,
the egg or the chicken?" There is nothing too great for us to handle,
nothing too small for us to talk about. Our discussions or del)ates have
been particularly good, for in our assembled midst we have bright heads.
The average at least is particularly good, for some make up in brilliancy
for the deficiency in others. Those who had talent exhibited it. Those
who did not bluffed it through gloriously. In our school monthly we have
kept you posted as to what we were doing, so for a more extensive report
you may look there. Just one word more, and to the other organizations of
the Washington State Normal School: We are doing very well, and hope you
are the same. We've made our mark and hope you have made yours. GERTRUDe

KLOHOYA SOCIETY Work, work, work, Till the brain begins to swim, Work,
work, work, Till the eyes are heavy and dim." This fragment from a poem
by Thomas Hood (you see. we take it for granted that you don't know who
wrote it), echoes the writer's sentiments at just this moment. But of
course writing about such a jolly "bunch" as the Klohoyas is not (?) work.
We were organized last fall and consist of about half the pupils in the
High School-the part chosen by Arthur C. Craw-shaw, president of one of
the former societies. You see, there were two societies, the Delphian
Girls and the Swastika Boys. There seemed to be an utter lack of spirit
and enthusiasm, so by a unanimous vote of the student body they were
dissolved and two new ones formed. The two plresidents chose alternately a
boy and a girl until the list was finished. We are the ones who meet in
the study hall every Thursday. Now that you know something of our history,
we shall proceed to tell you something about our members. Our president,
Kenneth Selby, is also president of the Junior class. Our vice president,
Herbert Yorkston, is yell leader of the High School. Our
secretary-treasurer, Helen Maxwell, is one of the most popular girls in
school. The editor, Marguerite Brotnov, is secretary of the Senior class.
Miss Rowen, our helpful faculty advisor, is known and loved by all.
Besides that, every member of the orchestra, save one, is a member of the
Klohoya. We have had some very interesting and splendid programs, for
which we thank the program committee, Arthur Crawshaw, chairman, Eva Bond,
and Dorothy Swartz. There is usually a musical number which is always
appre-ciated to the fullest extent. We have also had some very comic
readings. Ask Herbert Yorkston if you want to know more about that. We
have also had debates anti papers that were well pre-pared and thoroughly
interesting. Then you must know, we have student critics. They are
ap-pointed by the president to judge the programs, and always give a
speech (?) at the end of the program criticizing the numbers. Sometimes
impromptu speeches are asked for. Quite a number of good ones have been
given on subjects as "Prisons in Philippines," "Beauties of Colorado,"
"Printing at the Shop," "Mechanical I)raw-ing," "Tariff on Peanuts,'
"Nothing," and "Preparedness." 143

Tacoma Club The Tacoma Club was organized during the early part of the
school year for the purpose of fostering and plronoting social intercourse
among the students at Normal who have lived( or at-tended school in Tacoma.
The club boasts a melmbership of forty-five energetic, en-thusiastic,
talented, in a word, true blue children of Tacomia, and among whom are not
only former leaders of the Tacoma high schools but persons who are
prominent in the activities of our old Bellingham Normal. As I look down
the list of members I see that some among us are presidents and officers
of other societies in the school; some have made the tears flow and the
throat ache with our stage ability; others have delighted assemblies and
clubs with our musi-cal talent. Of course there are the social stars,
while not a few have been merely brilliant. Moreover, we assure you that
your love of mere personal beauty may be satisfied. Mr. Walter Johnson
has ably served as plresident of this worthy body. The other officers are:

WHAT THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION HAS DONE The S. A. affairs for this year
consisted of an enjoyable ex-cursion to East Sound May, 1915; the Student
Mixer in September, n.' at which the students divided into state groups,
performed various and original stunts, and were served to ice cream in
the domestic science rooms; a Christmas party, which sent everyone home
for the holidays with a heart full of cheer and good will toward the
Normal School at Bellingham, and as a final, the Chuckanut Marathon, a
hike which is coming to be an annual affair, participated in by all four
classes. The past year has brought forth great success for both boys and
girls in athletics. We are proud to own the best football team in the
history of the school and a most successful season of basketball for both
boys and girls. All athletics have had the hearty and enthusiastic support
of the students and faculty, shown by attendance upon games, parades and
rousing assem-blies held in celebration of both defeats and victories-and
we are proud to say in the majority, victories. And so we bid farewell to
a happy and prosperous year and wish the same, or even better, for the
coming year. STUDENT MIXER The first social event of the year was the
annual student mixer, held in the auditorium Friday evening, September 10.
The entire student body was divided into groups which were: The
Foreigners, Southern States, Thirteen Original Colonies, North Central
States, Plateau States, Great Lake States, Pacific Coast States, United
States Possessions, and State of Washington. Each group performed a stunt
typifying the states represented. All were very original and showed a
great deal of interest and enthu-siasm. Many a person won a name for
himself which will last as long as he remain at B. S. N. S., and probably
will go with him into his work. Before the stunts the following program
was given: "A Word of Greeting to the New Students and New Members of
the Faculty" - - - - - - Miss Hays "A Greeting to Everyone From an Old
Student" - Ruth Conner Reading from Kipling - - - - - - Mr. Hoppe Vocal
Solo - - - - - - - Mrs. Deerwester Vocal Solo - - - - - - - Mrs. Thatcher

After the program all went to the large new gymnasium for an hour of games
and to become better acquainted. Ice cream and wafers were served in the
dining room and the happy evening closed with everyone feeling better
acquainted than before. PHILOIMA THEAN BIRTHDAY PARTY The sixth annual
birthday party of the Philomathean Liter-ary Society was held in the club
room Saturday evening, Novem- her 20, 1915. The room was beautifully
decorated in the Philo colors, green and white. The first part of the
evening was spent in games. Later refreshments were serve(l, the feature
of this being a huge birthday cake decorated with six green candles and
containing many symbols in the form of rings, thimbles and pen-nies. Miss
Josephine Male acted as toastmistress, carrying out the part with much
credit. Since this was the beginning of the seventh year of Philo
existence, Shakespeare's seven ages of man were used as a foundation, with
each age a year in the life of the society. Each year was represented by a
member who joined the society that year. Miss Reichert recited the
experience during babyhood of the society. Miss Scott, who was to tell of
the boy-hood, was unfortunately unable to attend. Then came the lover,
represented by Miss Devereaux; the soldier, by Miss Kannekkberg, and the
justice by Mr. Klaus. Mr. Hougen cleverly gave the old man in an original
poem. The toastmistress pointed out that hav-ing arrived at the seventh
age, we deviate from Shakespeare in being not at the end of our
usefulness, but stronger and more active as the years go by. Miss Reedy
and Miss Vogel gave several vocal solos which added greatly to the
program. Many old members of former years attended the celebration. Dr.
Nash was called upon and proclaimed himself a Philomatheanii of thirty
years' standing. Mr. Philippi contributed a few reminis-cences, and the
toastmistress read a greeting received from the Philos of Chehalis county.
The singing of the Philo song brought the evening to a close. Y. W. C. A.
BANQUET One of the most beautiful and elaborate social functions held
during the year was the Y. W. C. A. membership banquet, given at Eden's
Hall, December 4, at 7:30. The dining room was beau- ... -

tifully decorated in chrysanthemums and ivy. A large bouquet of these
flowers graced each table, the effect being enhanced by soft shaded
candles, which afforded the only source of light. The guests were led into
the dining room by Miss Pierce and Dr. Nash, while the Victrola played
softly. When all had found their places Dr. Nash returned thanks and the
following delicious supper was served: Y. W. C. A. Salad, Golden Dressing
Chicken en Coquille. Delmonico Potatoes Macedoine of Vegetable Glace
Harvard Bleedingheart Rolls Olives Jelly Strawberry Ice Cream. Cake.
Coffee Nuts Mints Miss Pierce, the president, introduced Miss Maimee
Davis as toastmistress at the conclusion of the banquet. Each toast was
founded on the Scripture reference: "I am the vine and my Father is the
husbandman."-John 15:I. The Vine - - - - - - Bertha Vol Nagel The
Branches - - - - Henrietta Welsh The Roots - - - Isabel Cuthbertson Sap -

- - - Stella Goyne Tendrils - - - - - - Alice Lund Fruit - - - - - -
Beatrice Bair ('14) The Husbandman - - - - Alma Armstrong Much benefit was
derived from the evening's entertainment, and the assurance that the life
worth living is the branch growing out of the true vine, was more deeply
impressed upon all present. THESPIAN MID- YEAR BANQUET The midyear
Thespian banquet was given at the Leopold Hotel December 16, and was a
decided success. The Christmas idea was carried thrcughout in an
attractive way. A brightly deco- rated Christmas tree occupied the center
of the table and shaded candles cast a ruddy glow over the room. Sprigs of
holly were scattered here and there over the table, adding much to the
deco-rations. Dainty place cards completed the Christmas effect. 158

Mr. Henry Ashman acted as toastmaster and proved himself to be well fitted
for the occasion. The toasts were all given in a very pleasing and
striking manner. "The Girls" - - - Walter Kelly "The Boys" - - Ruth
Conner Thespian Lyrics in Parody - - Margaret Bressler "Smiles" - -
Jettie Jones Solo, "Just Because" - - - Jettie Jones Response - - - - -
- Miss Rose Baxter Solo, "Mighty Lak' a Rose" - - Louise Buchanan "Things
for Which We Should Count Ourselves Fortunate" - - - - Delbert Hennes Mr.
Louis Brown then came forth to distribute interesting packages from
beneath the Christmas tree and the heart of each was made glad by a
simple gift-for example, Miss Wilson took de-light in a horn with a bell
attachment. TEA AT EDEN'S HALL FOR MID-YEAR'S One of the affairs in
honor of the mid-year graduating class was an afternoon tea given by Miss
Hays, in the parlor at Eden's Hall, Friday afternoon, January 7th, from 3
until 5. The room was decorated in harmony with the season and presented
a pleasing appearance. An informal program was given, entirely musical in
character, consisting of solos by Mesdames Thatcher, Hoppe, Colby and
Prof. Parish. The faculty and wives were present mingling with the young
people in a delightful way. Mrs. Philippi and Miss Sumner presided over
the tea table. In every way the afternoon' was spent enjoyably. MID-YEAR
RECEPTION Monday evening, January 17, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash enter-tained
in a charming way with a musicale in the Normal auditor-ium. The guests
numbered about four hundred, including the mid-year Seniors, the Faculty
and their wives, and the immediate friends of Dr. and Mrs. Nash. The
guests were met at the door by the host and hostess and then ushered to
the auditorium by young men of the Normal. The auditorium and two
adjoining rooms were tastefully decorated with potted ferns and baskets of
scarlet carnations. A very pleasing program was rendered. Mme. Hesse-
Sprotte, appearing as a soloist. was charming and repeatedly en-cored.
Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee gave a finished
----------

----------
interpretation of the overture "Rosamunde," by Schubert, and Mrs. Cross
delighted the audience with two piano solos which were heartily encored.
Mr. J. Werner Hoppe, of the Cheney State Nor-mal, read "Prince Chap" very
effectively, holding hrs audience spellbound to the last. The program was
as follows: Overture to "Rosamunde" - - - Schubert Mrs. Larrabee and Mrs.
Cross. (a) "Ah, Mein Sohn," aira from "The Prophet" - - - - - - - - - G.

acted as ushers were Mr. New-ton McCoy, Mr. Gerald Van Horn, Mr. Kirby
Smith, Mr. Delbert Hennes, Mr. Douglas Hanbloom, Mr. Frank Hubbard, Mr.
Henry Ashman, Mr. Walter Johnson and Mr. Nat Mount. ALKISIAH BANQUET One
of the pretty affairs of the second semester was the Alki-siah banquet,
held in the large dining room of the Leopold Hotel, Thursday evening,
February 17. The banquet was given in honor of the new members of the
second semester. About forty were in 160
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 161
----------
attendance. The tables were arranged to form a huge "A" and a valentine
scheme was carried out in decoration. Soft, red shaded candles lent a
pleasing touch to the covers. Vases of pussy wil-lows and cherry blossoms
gave an added charm. The place cards were decorated with bashful little
Kewpies, each card containing a bar of music made of heart-shaped notes.
After a sumptous six-course dinner, Mrs. Bessie Albert acted as
toastmistress and the following were given in verse: "To the New Members"
- - Leah Dudgeon Response Bernice Ely "The Faculty" - - - Maude Carfield
Response - - - - - - Miss Willoughby "The Club" - - - - - - Miss Gray
After the banquet the club was the guest of Miss Willoughby at the American
Theater to see Cyril Maude in "Peer Gynt." The evening was a most
enjoyable one, long to be remembered by all. SENIOR RECEPTION The
Seniors, Faculty and wives were on their best behavior Saturday evening,
April 29, 1916. The annual faculty reception to Seniors was held at that
time at the Aftermath club house. Seniors are capable of doing almost
anything, from acting a "kid" to the most dignified school teacher, the
latter being the case on this par-ticular evening. Gold and green being
the class colors, daffodils and greens of all descriptions were used as
decorations. The room was aglow with the bright yellow flowers i)artly
hidden among the greens. A very delightful and pleasing program was
given, consisting of a violin solo by iMmDe.a venport Engberg, piano solo
by Mrs. Irving J. Cross, vocal solos by Mesdames Nash, Deerwester and Mr.
Harrison T. Raymond, and a reading by Miss Abby H. Sumner. After the
program light refreshments were served. The re-mainder of the evening was
spent in a social way and in becoming better acquainted before the time
came to part. 161

THE MESSIAH "The Messiah," Handel's great oratorio, was given in the
Nor-nial auditorium on the evening of December 17 ly a voluntary L:
chorus from the Normal School of almost 100 voices, assisted by some of
the most talented soloists in the city and accompanied by an orchestra
under the direction of Mrs. Engberg, with Mrs. Cross at the piano. In
spite of criticism that "The Messiah" was too difficult to lie undertaken
by an amateur chorus, it was plronounced a splen-did success and one of
the biggest musical treats ever given by the. Normal. Moreover, the
training and inspiration received ]by everyone who had the privilege of
singing this masterful Christ-unas music cannot he overestimated. Mrs.
Thatcher deserves much credit for her untiring efforts ais director, and
grateful appreciaticn is extended to IMrs. Cross, to Mrs. Engherg and her
orchestra, and to the foi'owing who so ably filled the solo parts: Mrs.

the year in the way of dramatics when they presented Arnold Bennett's
drama, "Mile-stones," in the Normal auditorium, Saturday evening, April
15. The talent in the cast was decidedly unusual and coupled with the
excellent coaching of Miss Abby Sumner, of the Expres-sion department, it
made the play, as many agree(d, the finest amateur production ever given
at the Normal. The play itself was difficult, taking some of its
characters through three generations. The fourteen in the cast were: John

ardent lover. Mrs. Colby, as Katisha, charmed her audience with some
beautiful solos, besides being most amusing with her fascinating left
shoulder blade and her right elbow, which people came miles to see. One of
the best known songs in the opera is the trio, "Three Little Maids From
School." Frances Reedy was a most coquettish Yum-Yum, and her two sisters
(Marion Lovejoy and Louise Buchanan) were both breezy and Jap-a-nees-y.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Working in accord with the Drama League of
America, which is giving a series of collegiate festivals in honor of
Shakespeare's centennial, the Senior Class voted to stage "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" for their annual play. This comedy seems particularly
appropriate, as it is especi-ally adapted to the time of the year and
portrays the revelation of Shakespeare in one of his happiest moods, with
its accompani-ment of fairy revels. Mr. Hoppe staged the play given out
on the knoll of the campus on Monday evening, May 29. The following is

FIRST PRIZE POEM SPRING I fell myself mount uip on wings! At what dizzy
height was I Above a world of radiant things- On a cloud that sailed the
sky? A ship of pearl--its helmsman, I On a blue sea splashed with foam;
The earth grew dim, we passed it by, Thru strange, new worlds to roam.
Oh, ship of which the poets sing- My gypsy cloud-and they call you
"Spring." I rushed thru meadows of rolling green, My feet seemed shod
with life, My soul made answer to things unseen- As my heart to the stray
wind's lyre. I drank of the beauty of sunlit towers, Of the cool of
whispering streams; And, stooping, I filled my arms with flowers, Just
wakened from dewy dreams. Oh, flower of which the poets sing-- My daisy
face--and they call you "Spring." I climbed to the top of a moss-grown
tower, With the musty soul of years, To view from its ruin the day's last
hour- And the heavens it shot with spears. Thru the frail rose-dusk-day's
afterglow, Stealing thru silence, like sparkles of light, Quivering with
love, the silver notes flow From the soul of the singer in unseen flight.
Oh, music of which the poets sing, My wandering lark-and they call you
"Spring." GERTRUDE L. MIARKELL. L~i

FIRST PRIZE STORY "SORROW'S TALISMAN" The solitude of many centuries had
settled upon that silent vale. For many centuries doubtless it had
remained unsolved, mystical and peaceful-with but one exception-and now I
pray that until eternity it shall ever sleep, unmoved by civilization's
advance and unexplored by the innate curiosity of man. I pray that it
shall rest through the stillness of those tropic nights of heavy dew and
pale unearthly vapor, and days of scorching sun; that its great lizards
and spiders basking in the intense heat on every naked rock and sun-baked
patch of earth shall ever keep it company; and the wind, too, that passes
along the cypress trees at nightfall. A temple once stood there, facing
the open side of a great hill and the sea beyond. There yet remain, vast
and immutable, a slab of ebon blackness set within a facade of crumbling
stone and on it is graven a figure, the strange and terrible deity of an
extinct religion. Its many arms radiate from the body and one is held
aloft, high above the head, clinched as if invoking some awful sentence.
So high, in fact, is that hand held that the dying sun touches it last of
all, burnishing it with a strange radiance so that it seems to glitter for
a moment, before the sun has disap-peared below the horizon. One would
swear, upon gazing in-tently, that the hand, scintillating there in the
sunlight, moved slightly ere the night's breath passed along the ruined
temple and rustled among the leaves of the bushes, dying in sad cadance
within the forest. It is always the part of Americans to disturb the
tranquility of such places, and their action often terminates in
happiness or disaster. The story about to follow is, in fact, so widely
distorted lby the unreal I little doubt that the reader will attribute the
tale to the class of Munchausen. Pledged to one departed, I will not
relate, in my poor way, the mystery that surrounded the most unfortunate
of men. To me the story offers little solution-it only increases the
horrible mystery I fain would fathom. Early in the last half of the past
century Gordon Burke, com-paratively well-to-do and young, found himself
wandering aim- 174
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 175
----------
lessly through the easy-going populaces of Northern South Amer-ica, vainly
trying to forget his recent failure at Harvard and the death of a beloved
mother. A fair knowledge of Spanish enabled him to traverse the beautiful
country at ease, which seemed the only form of recreation that somewhat
eased his troubled brain and weary heart. In a remote seacoast, where the
hills abruptly meet the sea, was a vale, unexplored, avoided, scarce
mentioned by the super-stitious natives without the sign of the cross.
After useless par-leying and bartering for a guide, Burke set out alone to
ascend the hill, beyond which lay the unknown. A mountain village's
entire pol)ulace watched him in silence, while ashy faces moaned prayer
upon prayer and cast al)prehensive glances until the American was a mnere
speck on the hillside, and then drolpped be-yond the crest. His path led
circuitously down the gravel slope, in and out among scrubby pines and
thorny bushes. Farther (lown, the hill branched into several deep wooded
ravines of forbidding and gloomy appearance. Burke chose the darkest of
these, for his route, for far below something caught his attention. The
way led along a tiny rivulet whose peblles were of unusual beauty and
coloring, and o\ver which it was necessary to cross instead of seeking a
more difficult path through the rank vegetation along its banks. After an
uncertain length of time the wanderer found the rivulet losing itself
within a mound of grass and moss-covered rock. A natural amphitheatre
presented itself to him, unusually rugged and sparsely vegetated,
excepting a rough crescent shape of cypress trees that grew at its base.
And here we must ask the obliging reader to recall the open-ing words of
this tale, which are in almost the exact words of the late Gordon Burke,
Jr. He Iplunged into his narration that way 8 and bade me take it down,
but his story became so intense and labored owing to his strange malady
that had all but conquered him) I forgot to write and only listened,
open-mouthed, till the tale was finished and his talk rambled off into an
incoherent paradox. But that glittering hand--it must have moved, for up
to the face of the black slab went the American-up to the great face. He
was finally able to gain just enough foothold to rise on his tiptoes and
look upon the hands. It had been hard work-that climbing- and all of
Burke's attention had been drawn to the territory he was scaling, but when
he looked-Good Heavens! There was an opal the size of a hen's egg and of
such brilliance 175
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 176
----------
and beauty that he gasped and blinked. There is a given time for
admiration and then must come the work, so a jack-knife hacked and pried
in the rather loose cement setting until the stone, suddenly loosened from
its resting place, disappeared over the black polished stones. Burke was
amazed. It meant a search and the search meant a delay. The sun, too, was
five minutes on its way to China. In the rank vegetation behind, nothing
could be found. Thinking that perhaps it had rolled under one of the
numerous boulders he turned to move one of the smaller ones. As he did so
his left leg went through the turf-seemed to break through a crust and
dangle in space. Naturally, as soon as the leg was taken out he put his
head in and peered into the blackness below, and there, as sure as faith,
was the big opal lying on the floor of the subter-ranean chamber. The
ambitious one laboriously made a hole large enough to drop through, but
when the chill of that un-known vault struck his limbs he pictured the
horrors of the place into which he had fallen, and braced himself for the
inevitable. Even as he did the opal was in his hand and his eyes vainly
searching the impenetrable gloom. A very feeble ray shone dully, almost
reluctantly it seemed, from the hole above. The air was foul and
poisonous, and he knew that sooner or later it would overpower him. A
thousand pictures, horribly fantastic, whirled and throbbed beneath his
burning forehead. Suddenly the opal began to gleam, gleam, gleam, and from
the recess of the gloom came a low "Oh-h-h," dying into a deathly
silence. A gust of cold, damp air breathed through the chamber and Burke
plunged into the darkness in a vain attempt at escape. He tripped and fell
prone on the rocky floor, and that "Oh-h-h" nearer at hand. He came to a
half stooping, half raised posture and put forth that gleaming opal in a
mad, vain search. Silence followed, but that silence was more horrible
than the shrieks and moaning of the Lost. Out of the darkness grew a
shape, gigantic, pale and terrible the face of a man distorted by madness
and many, many crimes, carved from a pale green, luminous stone. But
another face came out of that solitude-smaller yet-God! a human face and
yellowish, a sad, pitiful mouth but eyes that stared, jetty, sparkling,
never moving, gazing straight ahead. Slowly above those shoulders, clad in
a gray indefinite material, came a hand and an arm that crept twitchingly
up the base of that green thing and bent forward, slowly crooking its
finger and beckoning. The 176

face broke into a grin, the lower jaw fell away, displaying rows of
brilliant, hideous teeth. A strange weakening, an indescribable sickness
came over Burke. He remembered dimly the face growing larger and larger
and then running madly. When he came to himself again the moon was out and
shone strangely white on his bared head. And he was alone on the hillside
in the chill night. North again, and an older man, living quietly on a
country estate in Central Kentucky. Then came a girl into the story-as
all good stories go--a beautiful girl with the customary eyes and hair and
teeth of those we read about. But that was when she first met Burke. She
loved him, too, most likely, for they were married one fall when the hills
were scarlet, russet and gold. He stood beside her at sunset and held
within his hand a great, flaming opal. She silently gazed, wondering,
mystified, until the sun was gone and the face of her husband was pale and
sorrowful. But one child graced that household. He came, it seemed, to
fill the lonely vacancy soon to follow. Yes, she went a year or so later.
Burke was in the state legislature then. He failed in business. The next
term his party constituents fell away fromn him and he was left alone with
his little son to think and mourn the loss of her who had left him. He
would hold his mystic opal in his hands at the day's close and think and
think-of rugged hills and crumbling temples, mighty images, and the chill
of tropic nights on silent hillsides-yes, a certain face now dimly seen,
now vast and terrible. Clenching a great, gleaming stone was a hand that
presented itself to him at nightfall, bringing an in- describable
smothering sensation. Then came weary weeks of an unknown sickness that
baffled the skill of Kentucky's best physicians. There was little doubt
that his hours were numbered. He sent for a notary and com-pleted the
final preparations. The man went away wearing a strange expression.
Burke, Jr., was summoned before his dying father. "Son, this will,
perhaps, be the last opportunity for a discussion of your future between
us two. I feel sometimes that I am leaving some-thing unsaid in my talk to
you, but I can only emphasize that you pursue your studies. Perhaps you
have a great future before you. I hope so-I hope so. You'll accomplish
more than your old dad did. You remind me of your mother, lad, sweet,
gentle and true.

I have little to leave you except this. He drew from under the pillow a
small lacquered box. "Take it- perhaps it will bring more good fortune to
you than it did to me. I think, perhaps, you can get a good price from
Weatherr, he has quite a passion for such things." Burke, Sr., turned his
face to the wall, and nis son stolc silently from the room with the black
lacquered box in his hand. He entered the library below, where a
green-shaded lamp burned on a table heaped with books and papers. Here
young Burke sank into a great armchair and began his investigation as he
pried open the lid of the tiny box. The stone rolled out upon the table
and lay glittering there in the lamplight. Somewhere in the house a door
slammed, and involuntarily the boy seized the gleaming object and flung it
into a secret drawer on the secretary. Almost as he did so there came a
wild, piercing cry from the chamber above. A cold draft swept through the
bare halls of the house. The light flashed wildly up in the lamp and went
out. Agitated beyond description and cold with fear, he sank motion-less
into a chair. Outside the storm gathered itself in fury and there came a
rumbling of thunder, growing louder and louder, till with a great roar,
accompanied by a vivid lighting flash, something crashed. As the flash
came the man upstairs saw his last scene, doubtless the same as he had
seen many years before. He was found the next morning, white and
motionless, with his hands covering his face. The morning light streamed
through the window across the heap of books and papers and across the
figure of a boy, lying as if he had fallen asleep at the table. He was
carried away laugh-ing and talking of opals and teeth and many hands, of
gray-clothed, green-faced things that disturbed his sleep. Being a
friend of the family, I called on him later at the hospital. It was during
an interval of consciousness that he told me this story of his father and
his mother, whom he never re-membered, and himself. Later he died in a
convulsion, I am told. To complete. the night of the storm a portion of
the Burke house was struck by lightning, the portion adjoining the
library. On the following day when the debris was clearea away they found
a human arm, mangled and mutilated by the rent timbers, and apparently
torn from a body. Near it was found a peculiar bit of crumbled glass,
that glittered and shone strangely bright in the sunshine. GRACE JANE

SECOND PRIZE POEM L'ENVOI Friends, you have heard my lays, I have sung
of the souls of men, Tales of the North and its ways Have flowed from my
uncensored pen. I have lived thru vices unending; I have struggled with
men and with clime; Yet I've stood it all without bending, My soul stands
naked, sublime. Comrades of trail and campfire, I've toiled and fought
through the worldl; I've loved with a love all-enfolding, The terrible
North and its cold- The long trail is ending, I'm wearied and tired to
the bone. Friends, I want to go back to the Northland, The land I can call
my home. So take me far from the Southland, Where pleasure and ease reign
supreme, To the land of triumph and disaster, W here joy and pain pierce
keen. We are near the end of our journey, See the ice gleaming brightly
where That river leads to the Homeland- It's spring; hear the birds
singing-hear-- The Sea! FIRANCs D. ASTELS. 2 77

SECOND PRIZE STORY SERVICE "Please, teacher, won't you come home to
supper with me?" Miss Eliot raised her eyes from the papers she was busily
correcting to meet the glowing ones of a little girl, who was gaz-ing
adoringly at her. "Come home with you?" repeated the teacher. "But does
your mother want me, dear?" "()h, yes," breathed the child. Miss Eliot
put her hands to her troubled temples and tried to think. She was just a
young slip of a girl but very sweet and womanly. She had a wistful face,
but her beautiful violet eyes held a twinkle in them which revealed a
strong sense of humor. She glanced again at the little girl in front of
her. She was not very tidy--one might know what to expect of her home. But
the teacher's thoughts traveled back to her boarding house. There would
he Dick-handsome Dick, with the serious eyes and the stul)l)orn chin-Dick,
who loved her. She was very tired tonight and she felt she could not
resist his pleading eyes. He wished to marry her and take her away from
what he called "drudgery," but what the Normal School had called
"service." She felt almost tempted to call it by Dick's term tonight. But
there had been a time when she had meant to rise to the very top. No, it
would not he safe to sit across the table from Dick tonight. Miss Eliot
rose hastily and put away her papers. "WTait just a second, Jennie, and I
will go with you." A few minutes later the two were walking through the
sharp, wintry air. The walk put new life into the girl, and by the time
they reached the child's home she was in quite a cheerful frame of mnid.
But the look of astonishment on the mother's face when they entered and
the disorderliness of the house plainly told her that she had not been
expected. She would have turned back to her boarding house, but the snow
was falling fast, and besides, "Ma" Mulligan would not forego the honor
of having teacher "stay to supper." Miss Eliot was given the seat of
honor by a warm fire, and Ma, leaving the little Mulligans to entertain
her, went to prepare 180
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 181
----------
the meal, with the help of Jennie. MAiss Eliot spoke pleasantly to the
children and tried in vain to get their opinion on different subjects, but
they were so overawed in her presence that they simply sat and stared. At
last the teacher gave up and sat and gazed into the fire. dreaming
of-Dick. What would he think when she did not come home? Would he come to
find her? At last Ma came to the door and announced, "Supper's ready!"
It would be hard to explain how all those p)eople distributed themselves
around one small table, but they acconiplished the teat. When "Pa" came
home he was as much impressed with the unusual occurrence as were the rest
of the family. He considered the teacher a walking encyclopedia and was
resolved to profit by 7 this opportunity to gain information. He asked all
kinds of ques-tions, from "the kind of feed to raise chickens on" to "what
the weather will be tomorrow." But he soon applied himself to his supper
with a look of disillusion, and the teacher had a guilty feeling that she
was disgracing her profession. When the meal was nearly over Ma asked the
teacher im- portantly if she "would have a piece of pie?" The latter
looked doubtfully at it and answered, "No, thank you." "If the teacher
doesn't want any we'll not cut the pie," de-cided Ma. At this the
youthful Mulligans set up such a wail as to fairly make the teacher jump
out of her chair at the unexpectedness of it--they had been so still
before. She hastily changed her mind in regard to the pie and so harmony
was restored. Miss Eliot had all she could do to keep her face coml)osed
at some of the remarks which were made lby different members of the
family. Several times she had a girlish inclination to giggle, but she
also had a kind heart and did not wish to hurt their feelings. After she
and Jennie had dried the supper dishes the teacher went to sit by the
fire until it should be time to go to bed, foi it was now snowing so hard
that the family insisted that she re-main all night. So she sat and looked
into the fire and talked to the Mulligans, but all the time she was
thinking of I)ick. She had been sure that he would be after her before
this. How did he 181
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 182
----------
know but she had been lost in the snow storm? None of the peo-ple had
telephones, so he could not phone. Perhaps, after all, he did not love her
so much-he could forget her so easily. But her common sense asserted
itself. He was probably looking for her right now. He was anything but
forgetful. There was only one way in which he had fallen short of her
ideal-he had not a very strong sense of humor. Dick took very seriously
things which only caused her to laugh. It seemed to her that people who
had not much money should have a strong sense of humor to make up the
deficiency. So, dreaming and thinking, the girl went to the "spare
bed-room" to retire for the night-but not to sleep. The mattress had been
filled with straw, and so well filled that there was a large ridge in the
middle. The girl tried in vain to balance herself on the top of the
elevation-she kept rolling off the sides and onto the floor. At first she
felt chagrined but in the end she was laughing hysterically. Suddenly a
jingle of hells rang out on the clear, frosty air. The girl sprang out of
bed with a hound and dressed herself. Her womanly intuition told her it
was Dick-Dick had come for her. She was running down the stairs when she
heard his clear, young voice in the hall. "Is Miss Eliot here?" he asked
Ma, who opened the door. The strained anxiety of his voice made the girl's
heart leap. "Here I am, Dick." she called, and she was soon tucked
snugly into the sleigh and they were flying over the snow. Sud- (lenly
D)ick's arm shot out and clutched her convulsively. "Oh, Girl! I thought
you were lost." "No," said the girl, "not lost-only found." "What ?" "I
have decided," said the girl, mysteriously, "to give up my present work of
service-to take up another." "And that is?" questioned Dick. "Him-m-m.

THIRD PRIZE STORY "HEADS FOR GIRLS" (This is the latest jab on our
honorable "Miss Head's School for Girls." Room 13.) Dearest Punch: I
know, my long suffering angel, that it is only three days since you have
undergone the agony of one of my epistles, but I simply and absolutely
must unburden myself of the load that's on my mind at present. My new
roommate has molas-ses colored hair and watery blue eyes and "Ground
Gripper" shoes, and you know you plumb can't confide in that sort of a
person-ality. She thinks I'm mentally deranged now, and the good Lud only
knows what she'd think if I told her this. (My Stars, I've half a notion
to-just to see the look of holy horror on her most excellent countenance.
Better I didn't, though, I might just as well publish it in the "Eagle.")
But I really started out to tell you the richest thing that ever happened
here. It's 1:10 a. m., and I'm only half clothed and entirely out of my
right mind, so don't be h'alarmed, me darlint, if I write in Chinese or
quote from Browning (this latter being the most absurd thing I could think
of doing). Now take both corks out of your ears and get a bottle of
smelling salts handy-and above all things, don't laugh-this is going to be
tragic. Ready? Well, here goes! You know that fool cousin of mine whose
angel mother calls him Cornelius, and wants him to put weights in his
snoes for fear his wings will get so large he'll fly straight to heaven
some day (Man, you ought to read the letters that kid sends home-you'd
absolutely croak laughing), and whom (English correct?) the rest of his
overflowing circle of acquaintances call Cob (derived from some assumed
connection with Corn-elius)? Well, he's "it." I have never in all my young
life and wide experience seen another nut with quite the propensity for
getting into (and usually out of -he's a handsome dog, with the nicest
laugh you ever heard) scrapes as that young Corn-cob possesses. But this
last one takes the cake. You know, he's going to Yale now, and that's
only twelve miles from here, and I met him not long ago when I went to New
Haven for some new duds. Of course he buttonholed me (we're 184
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 185
----------
both such empty-headed nuts that we hit it up pretty well) and we dropped
in at Denton's for some eats. As it happens, Cob has a sky-blue-pink
"crush" on Polly Crawford (and that .s the most sensible thing he's done
for ages. She's the sweetest thing in this whole "Cemetery). And you ought
to have heard him- he didn't hardly even wait to ask about the family
before he casually (?) remarked, "Don't suppose you've seen Polly
lately?" (Just as though he didn't know that she's the one person I spend
twenty-two of my twenty-four hours with). So I started in and told him
all about how she was wearing her hair now, and about her new suit, and
what subjects she was studying, and the exam she was cramming for, and had
him about foaming at the mouth before he finally exploded. "Oh, bother
take her new suit with the accordian-pleated hem tucked with striped
flounces (or something to that effect), I want to know how she IS!" He
was getting wild-eyed and I was fearing they'd call out the city sleuths,
so I told him how well she liked his picture that he just sent her, and
that she was getting thin and wan, and wasn't eating much (Heaven rest my
soul, I left her attempting to study an English lesson with a box of
chocolates on one side, a half a mince pie on the other, and a jar of
pickles in front of her). Then he began raving about how he wished he
could see her, and "why the Sam Hill did we have a faculty that excluded
gentle-man callers," and all that dope-and then I had an idea (you know
what brilliant ideas I can have at times; the only rub is that other
people don't see the scintillating, sparkling glory of them). We were
going to have a big Washington's Birthday frolic in the gym and I dared
him to dress up as a girl and come over to it, and I'd see that he got in
and got a wee bit of a chat with Polly. That young cousin o' mine is a
very soul- satisfying relation. He looked a bit blank at first, then his
eyes began to sparkle and he got up, walked around his chair, sat down
again, and said, "Lord, what a joke! Will you do it, Judy?" Then we rolled
up our mental sleeves and set to work making plans. After I got home and
got to thinking it over-Great Scott! I began to get wobbly in the region
of the knees. Suppose he couldn't get suitable clothes-and of course he
couldn't, and even though Cob is slim and pretty, no boy can dress to look
like a girl, and what if Miss Head found it out and I got expelled
and-hor- 185
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 186
----------
rors! I vis;oned the family holding a prayer meeting for my lost soul.
You can imagine how cheerfully I went down to the 7:30 train to meet my
cousin, Miss Cornelia Vanderford. When that train pulled in I had to
stand on one foot and anchor it down with thc other to keep from running
away. And of all the people that got off! It seemed as if I had never seen
so many girls get off that train before, and the last person was a
nightmare. It wore a violent green dress trimmed in oceans of red braid,
and high-heeled white slippers (why on earth when boys masquerade as
girls do they attempt high heels), and a big black picture hat and a heavy
figured veil. I almost screeched as she started toward me and I saw a
mental moving picture of the frolic (?) in the gym. I just stood stock
still with my eyes popping out of my head and a frozen "smile of welcome"
on my face. As she bore down upon me I managed to get my hand out and was
just about to speak when she gave me "a orful stare" (one of those
he-eyed-her-up and he eiderdown" sort), and swept on. At the same moment
I heard a sound as if some one were strangling on the other side of me,
and I whirled around and there stood a young lady correctly gowned in a
long gray travel-ing coat and a small hat and veil, and smart-looking
low-heeled slippers. I must have had an expression on my face like a
chicken dying of the pip, for the young lady spluttered, "Oh, my aunt,
Judy, kill that look or I shall bust something, sure. Oh, Lo-ord, she
thought that thing was me!" I know just how a person feels when the jury
Drings in the verdict, "Not guilty." It seems he had gotten the things
from the dramatic club, and he really looked lovely, only he was a bit
awkward and his voice was rather husky . We decided that Miss Vanderford
would have a bad cold and he worked up an effective cough and we went down
behind the station and worked up the scene where he'd have to be presented
to Miss Head. Speaking of rehearsals, that was a scream. After that,
things began to happen. I was all dressed, so we went right up to the gym
and screwed up our courage and sailed in. (I asked Cob how he felt and he
said "lovely, only one shoe was too tight and his wig was too loose). I
almost exploded when Miss Head recommended vinegar and molasses for Miss
Cornelia's "cold," and I thought I'd die when he tripped on his skirt, but
I managed to get he and Polly an hour together.. But it was after that
the final shebango came off-what you IT77
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 187
----------
might call the "grand finale." It was getting rather late and I was
getting anxious to get my "fair charge" of me 'ands. We , were just about
to the door when who should sail up but Madanme le President, and I began
to get the "shiverigitis" right there-sumpin h'orful was going to h'occur.
We were standing right in front of an open window (it was hot as Milton's
Inferno. Was it Milton? Oh, well-) and she was conversing merrily away and
we were wildly searching for an avenue of escape when it hap-pened. One
of our capricious little breezes, a merry little gust, came puffing in the
window, and what did my cousin's loose wig (lo but stand up on its
haunches, do a polka step in indecision, anl( then spin slowly and calmly
half way around on "our darling's" head. The wig was done in quite a high
Psyche knot, and you can imagine how he looked with that Psyche sticking
out of the top of his forehead. Pandemonium! Miss Head keeled over in
someone's arms (she didn't really faint but she thinks it looks dramatic).
Polly screeched, and the two principals in this comedy skit nmade a
hur-ried exit. Cob simply streaked for the door, and I dove through the
window (it was low, fortunately). I made a pretty good imitation of a
flash of lightning getting to my room, and spent the rest of the night
hatching up ex-cuses. I got a pathetic little note from Cob with a list of
possil)e ex-planations to select from and a postscript saying if none of
thelm would work he'd come back and fess up like a man. Child, it would
have made a stone image weep to hear the tale of woe I composed for the
occasion. At any rate, it worked. then I wrote the details to "me dear
cousin, who is almost bald and has to wear a wig, and is very, vERY
sensitive about it." (Wow!) It was lovely while it lasted but a trifle
too exciting for nly weak nerves, and I have solemnly sworn, never, no,
never again! I'm going to be good henceforward and always mind my elders
and change my horns for two little downy white wings and a halo, and
float up to heaven and play on a harp with by eyes cast up, and never be
naughty no more. Your own imlp, JUDY. ((race Sherman.) 3*

FOOTBALL Shortly after the opening of school for the fall term Coach
Carver made his official call for football turnout. A husky squad
responded to the call. For the first time in the history of the school two
teams were available. The second squad did much to help the first team
round into form. The old letter men were: Kelley, guard; Breakey, end;
Shold, guard; Capt. Haracich, tackle, and Wold, fullback. The rest of the
squad consisted of Beardsley, of Bothell High School fame, at center;
Muller, of Bellingham High, Powell, of Bellingham, both guards; Breneman,
from the U. of W. freshman team, at tackle; Ed. Shidler, of Burlington,
Lusk, of Laurel, at end positions; Bay, of Lynden, at right half; "Bill"
Shidler, of Burlington, left half, and Raridon, of Bellingham High, at
quarter. It goes without saying that the team was the best ever pro-duced
at the Normal School. Every man on the squad was an ex-perienced player,
having had two or three years of football. They were well up in the
fundamentals of football, and consequently practically all the time was
devoted to acquiring team work. Tak-ing into consideration the condition
of Athetic Field, Coach Carver and the squad should be congratulated upon
the amount of speed and team work displayed. It might be well to add right
here that it is the conditions under which the athletic teams of the
school have played that have retarded their development more than anything
else. It might be interesting to note that the team was not scored upon
by a strictly high school teani during the season. The three defeats
suffered by the Normal came as a result of the games with Everett, the
strongest high school team in the state, playing with three ineligible
men; Mount Vernon Athletic Club, and the Uni-versity sophomores. The
remaining games won by the Normal was all of the shutout variety, not a
score being made against us. During the course of the season the Normal
piled up a total of 108 points to their opponents' 52, quite a commendable
record, indeed. Every man on the squad played a good heady game and
de-serves credit. The line held like a "stone wall" on most occasions and
deserves special mention. People generally are under the im-pression that
the backfield men are the only ones who star during 198
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 199
----------
a game. The linemen are "on the job" all the time, plugging away unnoticed
by the onlookers, while the backfield get the credit for their work. The
backfield men have chances for teamwork and individual work, certainly,
and thereby deserve credit. NORMAL 26- FERNDALE 0. The first game of the
season was played with our old rival, the Ferndale High, on the Normal
athletic field. During past years the Normal and Ferndale were evenly
matched, but the "wormi turned," and they returned home a sadder and wiser
team. The Normal line deserves credit for the way it held the rushes of
thlie heavy Ferndale backs. The field was too wet for fast ootbaill but
despite the fact the Normal was successful in many forwaird passes.
EVERETT 26-NORMAL 7 The hardest game of the season was played at Everett
against the High School. Everett always produces a good footlball team.
The Normal went (town dletermined( to win but were forced to take the
small end of the score. Nevertheless the "smokestack" huskies knew they
were playing fast football. It is bad form to make excuses after a defeat,
but it is true the Normal was sadly "out of luck." Time and again we would
rush the ball to the goal line only to lose it through mixed signals or
fuimbles. Many of the players expected a "stone wall" defense and were
agreeably surprised to find how easy it was to make yardage through the
Everett line. Erwin Daily was the backbone of the Everett team, being
instrumental in scoring three of the touchdowns. Capt. Haracich made the
only touchdown for the Norimial, running ninety yards with the Everett
"pack" at his heels. "'Ed" can surely run when someone is after him. Many
successful passes were made, hoth by the Nermal and Everett. Even the old
shoestring pass worked on several o0- casions. U. OF WV. SOPHS
13,--N()RMAL 0. Again the Normal suffered defeat, but at the hands of a
team out of her class. The "Sophs" had a strong team, heavier and more
experienced than ours. The Normal line was taken to the utmost to hold
themn from making more yardage than they did1 It was a good game, the
Normal fighting like mad to stave off defeat and the "Sophs" determined to
win. They won, but it 199
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 200
----------
was a hard earned victory. The backfield of the "Sophs" were heavy, fast
and hard hitting, a combination hard to beat. Our backs did good work,
even if they did not annex a touchdown. Critics say it was the best game
played in Bellingham for an age. ANACORTES ALL-STARS 0-NORMAL 14 The next
game was played on our home grounds, which was a morass of mud and water,
as usual. The Anacortes High could not get a team together strong enough
to give us a worthy battle, so an aggregation from the city as well as the
High was "rounded up" and came over. They met their Waterloo-strong on the
water, as there was sufficient in evidence, and returned home sadder but
wiser. The game was slow on account of the con-dition of the field.
Several passes were attempted and some were successful, although the ball
was slippery. The Normal line held as usual, and the heavy backs of
Anacortes failed to gain. The Normal backfield could not show its speed
this game on account of the boys getting stuck in the mud. FERNDALE
0-NORMAL 26 Again we defeated Ferndale, but not the same team. The High
School asked to be allowed to use some outside men, and a husky "young"
bunch of football heroes lined up against us. Dahlquist, Plaser, Hintly
and Mohrman were some of the men who played. At last the Normal was on a
dry field, and we took advantage of the fact. The line worked strenuously
to hold the heavy backfield of Ferndale and our backfield were fast and
sure, tearing off yardage both through the line and off end. The open
field running by the Normal backs was a feature of the game. MOUNT VERNON
13-NORMAL 0 One of the hardest games of the year was played at Mount
Vernon against the Athletic Club of that city. Coach Jenny, of the High
School, had a strong team in the field made up mostly of Coach Jenny. He
was responsible for the two touchdowns regis-tered against us and did much
on defensive work to prevent our scoring. The game was snappy and fast.
The field was dry and the day was ideal for football. Our team made
yardage almost at will and played a good game, but touchdowns were hard to
get. We had the ball on the goal line on several occasions only to lose
it on downs. 200

B. H. S. 0-NORMAL 6 The most important game of the season was played
against our old rival, the North Side High. Keen rivalry exists between
the two schools in the athletic lines and the excitement was at its height
on the day of the great battle. Both sides were confident of victory, as
usual, and both sides possessed the "do or die" spirit. The field was
rather muddy for football, making it hard to handle the ball. The High
played the better ball the first quar-ter because the Normal was slow in
getting started. When we were in a tight place, though, the line held
like a stone wall. The second half the Normal woke up and things began to
happen. Three touchdowns were made during the last quarter, but two were
not allowed on account of holding on the part of Normal men. The High was
outclassed in team work and speed. The Normal team was the heavier of the
two by a small margin. The Hfigh says we are lucky to win. We come right
back and say the High was lucky the score was only 6 BREMERTON 0-NORMAL
22 Athletic relations between Bremerton and the Normal were cemented when
we played the high school of that place at Bremer-ton. The Bremerton boys
played good football, depending mostly upon shift plays. But shift plays
were "pie" for the Normal and were easily broken up. In this game the
Normal backfield had its best opportunity to show its speed. It took
advantage of the opportunity and some fast work was witnessed by the fans
of the Navy City. Our long end runs were especially good, yardage being
made at will. Bay kicked a drop kick from the thirty-yard line, the only
successful kick of the season. After the game the Bremerton High School
girls gave a banquet to both teamns. To say it was appreciated is drawing
it mild. We fairly "stuffed" ourselves. 'Tis sad to relate, though, we are
short on the speech-making. Every speech was started with the words, "I
haven't much to say," and ended with, "We played the best we knew how."
The trip was made by water, to the disadvantage of some of the team.
Shidler and Breneiman can ride bucking bronchos better than "foam crested
waves." It is hoped that athletic re-lations may be continued with the
Down Sound city. 201

BASKETBALL Hardly had the muddy gridiron hero taken his departure before
old King Basketball was ushered in. Basketball always has been the major
sport at the Normal, and this year was no exception. More than two teams
were out and very promising material was available. Coach Carver soon had
the first squad picked, consisting of Bay, of Lynden; Rockey, of
Bellingham; Breneman, of Castle Rock; Kelley, of Clearbrook; D)avenport;
Wold, of Bellingham. Len. Anstett returned from the Unibersity in time to
win his letter at guard. Rockey was chosen captain by his teammates before
the first game, and to show his appre-ciation he played a steady game
throughout the season. Coach Carver believes he had a better team than
last year, owing to the fact that although they lost one game more, they
played harder teams and had to play harder to win. The year previous
fourteen games were played, ten being won and four lost. This year fifteen
games were played, ten being won and five lost, besides every team played
this year was vastly superior to those playea against last year.

1915 Klipsun 1916 BASEBALL With the coming of spring Coach S. E. Carver
issued his annual call for baseball material and a goodly number of
eml)ryo Ty Cobbs and Walter Johnsons responded to the call. But two
letter men put in an appearance, Griffin, last year's shortstop, and
Raridon, center fielder. Coach Carver tackled the p)roblem of
con-structing practically a new teamn. The men who were left after the
"weeding out process" were Parkins, catcher, a Blaine man; Smith, pitcher,
a Vancouver product; Mount, pitcher, of Anacor-tes; Fox, first base,
Ferndale; Russell, second base, of Ferndale; Griffin, shortstop, of
Bellingham; Montgomery, shortstop, of Bell-mngham; "Bud" Raridon, third
base, of Bellingham; Beardsley, left field, of Bothell; E. Raridon,
center, of Bellingham; Roop, fielder; Bay, fielder, of Lynden, and
Uddenherg, fielder. Owing to the fact that no grounds are available on the
campus the squad practiced on the Sehome grounds, working under a
handicap because of the roughness of the field and the condition of the
weather, it raining practically all the time, thus retarding the practice.
U. OF \V. 13- NORMAL 0 Wiith but one week's practice the Normal crossed
bats with the fast U. of W. team on our home grounds. The "U" was on its C
way to Vancouver to play the Beavers, of the Northwestern League, and
had just come from a victory over the champion Se-attle team of the same
league. WVe expected defeat and we were not disappointed. What little
credit we deserve goes to Smith, our pitcher, for the way he pitched ball.
He had the purple and gold squad eating out of his hand, but his teammates
fell down on their end of the job. Errors contributed partly to our defeat
and the fact that we were weak at the bat. FERNI)ALE 3-NORMAL 6 Our
next game was with our old rival, Ferndale, played at Ferndale. The Normal
in years past has suffered at the hands of Ferndale in baseball but this
year we got our revenge. The team played better ball than formerly, but
few errors being made. Smith pitched good hall, allowing but four hits and
whiffing several of the Ferndale sluggers. 205

The TRACK TEAM As yet no track meet has been held, but a speedy crowd of
young huskies are trying out for the different positions and it seems as
though the Normal is going to have a top notch track team. The first
turnout was held Monday, April 24, with con-siderable rivalry for places
in the events. "Bill" Shidler was elected captain of the squad. We
p)redict that "Bill" will let no grass grow under his feet this spring and
that he will show many an aspiring young athlete his "twinkling heels."
The tryout re- sulted in the following men being chosen: For sprints,
"Bill" Shidler, "Red" Montgomery, E. Rairdon;; for broad jump, Estes,
Muller and "Bill" Shidler; for running, Broad, Estes, E. Rairdo C and
"Bill" Shidler; pole vault, E. Bixhy, Parkins, B. Rairdon, V. Bixhy; for
distance, Muller, Boggan; for shot put, Muller, Shidler, Bay; for discus,
Bay, Smith, Beardsley; for hurdles, Breakey, E. Shidler; 220 and 440-yard
dash, Breakey, Shidler, B. Rairdon, E Rairdon. 207

GIRLS' ATHLETICS The girls' athletics this year have certainly been a
success. Basketball, baseball, hockey and tennis have been a source of
pleasure to a great many girls of the school. The success, how-ever, is
most of all due to Miss Nickerson, the coach. She has worked untiringly
throughout the year and has had her hands full managing and coaching the
teams. Never before have so many different branches of athletics been open
to the girls, and the introduction of these is the result of Miss
Nickersons' work. BASKETBALL Basketball was the biggest thing of the
year. Early in Sep-tember Miss Nickerson called a meeting of all girls
interested in basketball. At this meeting it was decided to play modified
boys rules. Also the schedule should be so arranged that each team played
three games with each of the other teams, the teamn win-ning the best two
out of three to win the series. The object of this was that it would give
more girls a chance to play and earn letters. From early in October until
March the gym on every night of the week was the scene of much practice
and many deadly con-tests. After much waiting and suspense the first game
of the series between the Seniors and Juniors was called. The game was
fast, but the Seniors as yet had not developed their characteristic skill
and teamwork, which was later so marked. The Juniors came victorious with
a score of 8-5. The Juniors' line- up: Forwards-Bernadine Hilliard, Jenny
Kelly, Genie Watrous, center, Cosby Jackson; Guards, Ada Howard and
Elizabeth Jones. Seniors-Forwards, Anne Larson, Kathleen Skalley; center,
Barbara Conroy; guards, Helen Gragg and Emma Johnson. The Juniors again
marched forth, bringing home another victory over the Sophomores, the
score coming out 20-6. The Sophomores had a strong team, considering the
size of the class, and they put up a good game. Sophomore line-up:
Forwards, Elizabeth Arnold, Cassie Cales and Sophia Westman; centers,
Olive Pearson, Mary Kean; guards, Marion Lee, Edna McKinnon and Anne
Bennett. 211

In the third game of the series the Sophomores clashed with the Seniors.
The Seniors carried off the victory by 21-11. The Seniors brought in their
second team: Center, "Dot" Gooch; guards, Hilda Backman and Gertrude
McMahan; forwards, Helena Stenvig, supported by the first team forwards,
Anne Larson and Kathleen Skalley. The Juniors won the second game from
the Sophomores, the final score standing 24-8. With much spirit and
enthusiasm everyone looked forward to the second Junior-Senior game. From
the first to the last it was the closest and most skillful game that had
so far been p)layed in the series. At the end of the game the score cane
out 20-19 in favor of the Senior girls. In the last Junior- Sophomore
game the Juniors won by 12-5, and the Seniors also p)layed two victorious
games with the Sopho-mores, winning the first by a score of 27-10 and the
latter 18-11. Passing through the halls and around the gym just before a
game, you would find small groups seriously discussing some weighty
subject. Coming closer you might chance to hear some stray reiimark such
as, "Now, who do you think will win?" fol-lowed by the usual individual
opinions. Well, they might have been discussing the crucial game, for the
final Junior-Senior game was in every one's mind. March 14th arrived and
long before 4:10 the gym was packed, the Juniors occupying one side and
the Seniors the other. As the black and gold five and the green and yellow
quintet came out on the floor a deafening cheer went up and "Rah! Rah!
Rah! Juniors!" against "Hip! Hip! Hooray! Seniors!!" could hardly be
distinguished. The whistle was blown by the referee, Miss Nickerson, and
the game was on, fast and hard, each team de-termined to win. There was
evidence of skillful playing on both sides. The first half ended with
14-10 in favor of the Seniors. As the girls came back for the second half
the loyal supporters of both teams were tense with suspense. One more half
to play. Would the hard-fought-for Kline Cup be engraved with Senior or
Junior numerals for 1916? Fifteen minutes of quick, decisive work with
good plays on both sides--and the enthusiastic shouts of the Seniors told
that for the first time in tweve years the Kline Cup was won by the Senior
girls with a final score of 27-13. That girls can be true athletes has
been shown throughout 213

the season by the splendid interclass spirit. Victory or defeat was
accepted in a true sportsmanlike attitude. Not only in basketball but in
other forms of athletics they have played for the love of the game and
have been good winners and good losers. Thursday, April 12, all the
students gathered in the assembly hall for an "athletic assembly." On this
occasion the "B's" were awarded to the athletes and the Kline Cup
presented to the Sen-iors. Miss Nickerson, head of the Physical Training
department and the girls' basketball coach, gave a very interesting talk
on girls' athletics. The points brought to our attention were that on the
whole girls are not as sportsmanlike as boys, but given the same
conditions, it has been shown that girls can be as much, if not more
sportsmanlike than boys. The following girls received letters:
Seniors-Kathleen Skalley, Anne Larson, Barbara Conroy, Helen Gragg, Emma
Johnson, Helena Stenvig, "Dot" Gooch, Gert-rude MeMahan and Hilda
Backman. Juniors-Genie Watrous, Cosby Jackson, Elizabeth Jones, Jenny
Kelly, Ada Hovander, Bernadine Hilliard, Clara Helty. Sophomores-
Elizabeth Arnold, Cassie Cales, Marion Lee, Sophia Westman, Olive Pearson,
Anne Bennett, Edna McKinnon. GIRLS' BASKETBALL FROLIC Did you say frolic?
Yes, that's what it was. All the basket. ball girls and Coach Miss
Nickerson went down to the "big gym" Friday evening, April 14, 1916, for a
good time and iar from the maddening crowd, where they could act natural.
The festivities began at 8:15 with an indoor baseball game. To have seen
Bernadine Hilliard and Kathleen Skalley slamming out home runs was a
treat. Then came a basketball game, which was an excited rush and
scramble. A tennis ball decorated with the various classes' colors was
used as a basketball. The referee, "Jack" Gragg, called strict fouls and
anyone making a foul was put out of the game. The game was on fast and
hard when the referee's whistle blew shrilly several times and Miss
Nickerson was put off the floor for overguarding Anne Larson. She was
followed by Kathleen Skalley, who attempted to track the ball on her
knees, and Emma Jackson, 215
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 216

who was beginning to show too much baseball skill. Other changes followed
in rapid succession. "All ready for the track meet," was next called, and
the girls all assembled at one end of the gym. The "Numbskulls" and the
"Knownothings" were the competitors. The events in order and their
respective winners were: Stride relay, Knownothings. Shot put, Jennie
Kelly, Knownothings. Standing broad grin, Zetta Gage, Knownothings. Leap
frog relay, Knownothings. There's Music in the Air, Grace Brower,
Numbskulls. Sack race, Lucile Pearson, Knownothings. Hand spring relay,
Genie Watrous, Numbskulls. The meet was won by the "Numbskulls,"
captained by Jennie Kelly, by a score of 31, but Anne Larson's team were
just behind with a score of 30. Then came some stunts, few in number but
good and snappy. Soon came a most urgent (?) call from the cafeteria and
we all made a rush for the ice cream and cake, which tasted good after
such strenuous exercise. After a parting good night, we all started home
each declar-ing that this was a perfect windup for the basketball season.

A teacher in the training school was about to tell the pri-mary class the
story of "The Miraculous Pitcher," and as a pre-liminary she asked, "Now
how many of you children have ever been in a very small town? Of course
Bellingham is a large city, but who has been in what we call a small
country village?" Numerous hands were raised. "Well, Dick," said teacher,
"what little town have you been in?" "Seattle!" answered the eager Dick.
"Have you read Carlyle's French Revolution?" asked Miss Bowen, and she was
somewhat surprised to receive a negative reply. Her astonishment increased
as she ran over a list of stand-ard works and successively received the
same kind of an answer. Finally she asked, "Well, what have you read?" "I
have red hair," Ira Miller responded eagerly. The High School class in
geometry was reciting. "Have you proved this proposition?" asked Mr. Hunt.
"Well," said Yorkston, "proved is rather a strong word, but I can say
that I have rendered it highly probable." Jimmy saw a mosquito on the wall
one day that had evidently had a full meal off of someone, as it was quite
red with blood, and he called out, "Oh, mother, look! Here's a mosquito
and he's ripe!" A fashionably dressed young woman entered the postoffice
in large Western city, hesitated a moment, and stepped up to the stamp
window. The stamp clerk looked up expectantly, and she asked, "Do you sell
stamps here?" The clerk politely answered, "Yes." "I would like to see
some, please," was the unusual request. The clerk dazedly handed out a
large sheet of the two-cent variety, which the young woman carefully
examined. Pointing to one near the center she said, "I will take this one,
please." Dr. Deerwester-What is a philosopher? Forest Breakey-One who
rides a philosopede. 221

Dr. Nash had just announced in assembly that the Junior class was the
largest enrolled in the history of the institution. Immediately he
followed the announcement by reading the sub-ject of the speaker of the
morning, "Lord, how are they increased that trouble me." A teacher was
reading to her class and came across the word "unaware." She asked if any
one knew its meaning. One small girl timidly raised her hand and gave the
following definition: "Unaware is what you take off the last thing before
you put your nightie on." ~s :. 7 ? I:: :i: ii: .r~ ;' .r i;

FACULTY LIMERICKS Miss Nickerson stands in assembly, Beside Mr. Scudder,
so nimbly, For he is so tall And she is so small, The music is seen only
dimly. How dear to our hearts is Miss Brown, She really has great renown.
She plays very gayly On a real ukelele, But you had better not make her
frown. Dr. Deerwester had a great deal of modesty When he talked on
fundamental honesty. We don't have enough Of that sort of stuff, That's
why it all was so oddesty. Oh, say, did you see Miss Thatcher? For a good
sport you never can match her. She slid down the slide And enjoyed all
her ride. It's a shame if you were not there to watch her. Miss Mead she
lost her new bonnet With the little red feelers upon it. S. L. and M. J.
Picked it up, so they say, And left her as mad as a hornet. There is a
young lady named Bowen, By her English bards are all knowen. She has a
sweet smile That lasts quite a while. Her assignments keep us agoin'. Was
there ever a man like Parish? The stunts that he does are darish. He's
one of the four, And we always want more When he sings those songs so
rarish.

Miss Wilson hangs out in the library. You don't dare to be contrary. But
look at her eyes And you'll have a surprise. There's a twinkle in there,
by Harry! I tell you Miss Jensen talks fast, And the things she tells you
are vast. If you're in the front row You sure ought to know All your
lesson from first to last. Oh, surely you know Mr. Hoppe; His expression
is always tip-toppy. His voice is so sweet; He has dear little feet. H e
certainly is a fine chappy.. As a teacher Miss Sumner is clever. Wle
never had one like her, no, never. She makes you say "pool" In a manner
so cool You'd think we had done it forever. There is no one quite like Mr.
Bond, Of him we surely are fond. He's not like some teachers, As solemn
as preachers. V.! He will even let us "wade in the pond." Miss Hays is
our own dearest dean. For good times she always is keen. We must
religiously obey Each night and each day The "approved customs," or know
what they mean. Mr. Bever has never lacked fun. Many are the honors he's
won. How do we know? Because he said so. He'll tell you of stunts he has
done.

The H. L. S. can tell weird stories of a time when Miss Hays, Mrs. Termaat
and Miss Mead all chewed gum and wore a broad hair ribbon. Horrors! Can it
be possible? From the way Mr. Bond yawns in assembly we feel that we owe
him a vote of thanks for not swallowing us. (With Apologies.) WVhen the
frost is on the windows, and the hours on the clock, And you heard the
others hurry as they chase off down the block, And the cries of "Where's
my gym shoes?" and "I've lost my foun-tain pen," And your roommate's
haller-looyer as she calls, "Well, come on, then." Oh, it's then the time
a feller is a feelin' at his best, With the breakfast bell to wake her
from a night of worried rest, As she leaves the house bareheaded and goes
chasin' down the block When it's her for that old gym class and the
hour's eight o'clock. IGNORANCE Nat Mount (who has gone into a restaurant
without his glasses)-Waiter, will you kindly read the menu for me? Waiter
(with a suppressed giggle)-Sorry, sir, but I can't read, either. SUNG BY A
JUNIOR TO A SENIOR The letters we get, And you better bet We acquired
the rep Of having some pep. Maybe, Seniors, you dont' know it, Or think
that we dont show it. But we're all cheered iup Though we didn't get the

Rowe whistling and singing)-Oh, isn't he the happiest for a married man you
ever saw? Dab Hennes (after being nominated for president of Senior
class) I move the nominations be closed. HEARD IN THE LUNCH LINE "I don't
believe Miss Sperry is ever hungry, she keeps us so long after the bell
rings. I couldn't get a thing but soup." "Which is salt?" "The soup may
have been made on the seashore, but that's as near as it ever came to a
clam." "Ain't there no ice cream left? Oh, Gee!" "There, I put salt in
my coffee." "Your ticket is out, Miss Rhodes." "Please do not crowd;
there's lots of soup." "Looks like rain." Student, glancing at soup,
"Tastes like it, too." "What is this, anyway?" "Gee, I've got an oyster!"
"Miss McCown spent 34c today." 229

BY WAY OF SUGGESTION To Senior classes who wish to leave some gift for the
school we offer the following suggestions as things that will be
appre-ciated by all students: A clock for the reading room that is
guaranteed to run. A new gymnasium. A new library. An adding machine for
the Seniors who are trying to add up their credits. A bank to keep the
Junior dues in. A set of circular pews for Miss Baxter's room. A new
course of study for Miss Sperry to teach. A new stage for the auditorium.
A TRAGEDY "Down on your knees, You villain! you freak!"'' She yelled in
a lone That was near to a shriek. Her face it was fiery, Her eyes, they
were red. She turned to him wildly, And madly she said, "John Jones,
you're a villain, As I've oft said before. Get down, I say, down On your
knees on the floor! In the duslt at ny feet. Gel up here, John Jones, And
call me 'yonr sweet!' " S. E. \W. Dr. Deerwester was quizzing the Phil.
of Ed. class. Singling out Martin Baker in the rear of the room, he
addressed the ques-tion to him. Baker rose, in much confusion, and bent
his ear to catch the stage whispers of his friends seated about him.
"Well, you ought to be able to answer," said the doctor, "with all the aid
you are receiving back there." "I could," came the reply, "but there's a
difference of opinion back here. 231

HEARD IN ZOOLOGY "What kind of a bug is that?" "A Nat." "What are you
going to do with him?" "Mount it." "Mamma," asked little Mabel, "what does
transatlantic mean?" "It means 'across the Atlantic,'" replied her
mother. " 'Trans' always means across." "Then I suppose," continued the
logical little miss, "that transparent means a cross parent, doesn't it,
mamma?" In botany class where each student had signed her initials to
work on the board: Sally Lopp-Why, that girl's initials spell "Rag." Helen
Peterson-Aw, that's nothin', look at mine," and she pointed to the word
"Help!" Frank Deerwester (at Senior party)-So you spell your name
b-e-a-u-t-y, Miss Vollmer? Miss Vollmer-No, rather j-o-k-e." Red Miller-Do
you think we had better stand so close to-gether in this picture? Red
Beardslee-No, we might blur it. GOOD WARNING Algy-I don't want you to
wash my face. Grandma-Why, I've washed my face three times a (lay ever
since I was a little girl. Algy-Yes, and just see how it's shrunk! Mr.
Hoppe was about to deliver a reading in assembly one morning and he asked
Dr. Deerwester if he might have a small pitcher of ice water on the
platform table. "To drink?" asked Dr. Deerwester. "No," answered Mr.
Hoppe. "I do a high diving act." 233

WELL POSTED "Father," said a boy of twelve, "who was Shylock?" "What!"
exclaimed his father. "Have I sent you to Sunday school for the past six
or seven years only to have you ask me who Shylock was. Shame on you! Get

Miss Baxter (outlining consciousness)-We have heads and subheads until our
heads are swimming in subheads. Florence Lynch--I saw such a devoted

ALUMNI Listen, Underclassmen, and hear what is to befall you. Yoa are
this day to go with me on a big journey, covering much terri-tory and
seeing wondrous sights. Did you know that you are fol-lowing in the
footsteps of a thousand worthy predecessors, gradu-ates of this beautiful
Normal of ours; that scattered all over this globe are one thousand worthy
citizens testifying what in a few years you are to be, and what very soon
we, as Seniors, are to be? As on this journey we ferret out the dignified
Seniors of years gone by and behold them in their present activities,
realize that one of these is you in the years to come. With great awe and
wonder we begin our journey. Oh, ye students of Observation I, have you
realized in your travels about our country that some of the most
progressive teach-ers there seen are products of this institution? Listen
and be convinced. In the city of Bellingham alone there are about sixty
alumni actually engaged in teaching, besides about forty who are married
or engaged in business here. To enumerate them would be an endless task,
but we can name a few of those doing most con-spicuous work. Here in our
own building we have Sam E. Car-ver, our able coach, who is a graduate of
1913, and Gladys Stephen, '14, as assistant librarian. We have Mae
Reichert, '14, at the Model School at Geneva; Ethel Everett, '04, the
county superintendent; her assistant, Bernard Davenport, '11; Richard
Ewing, '04, principal of the Roeder school; Mrs. Robin, '13, prin-cipal of
the Bennett school; Betsy Stenberg, '10, of the Commercial department, and
Lillian Miller, '01, of the English department in the High School; Harriet
Dellinger Brown, the city drawing super-visor; Lola Gifford and Edna
Waples in Domestic Science; Kirk Baxter, Beryl Batdorf and Frances Des
Aulniers in departmental work. Is it not amazing? As we take a hurried
trip about the county we find the same condition of affairs. At least half
a hundred of our Alumni at-tend institute in this county. Again we can not
visit all, but we can make a hurried survey. At Lawrence we find an
encourag-ing state of affairs in that this is the only school in the
county ______ ~ V

having a staff of four who are all graduates of this Normal. We find there
Frances Greene, Messenger editor, '15; Arne Jensen, '12, as principal;
Sarah Moen, '13, and Lauretta Helmberg, '14. We discover that B. F.
Hovies, principal of the Blaine High School, is of the class of '03, and
in his teaching staff we find three more. Susannah Depew, '13, Emma
Buvinghausen, '15, and Vida Reed, 15. We have Edward Olson Kongsle
teaching manual training at Nooksack; Clarence Dahlquist, '14, of great
Normal fame, at Pleasant Valley; C. J. Storlie, '09, and Oleah Blank, '14,
at Har-mony. Many of the teachers at Sumas, Lynden, Ferndale, Marietta
and other towns about here can call this their Alma Mater. San Juan
county, too, boasts the possession of many of our alumni. Their number is
legion, and scattered everywhere are many who, though not graduates, have
done their normal work here. These only in Whatcom county. And elsewhere
we find them, though not so plentiful, still in sufficient numblers to
wield a big influence. In proof of this let us take a flying trip about
the state, alighting here or there, hit or miss, and see what we shall
see. As we proceed southward we discover at Mount Vernon Elizabeth Mann,
near there Boyd Ellis, and farther up the line at Lyman, Lolah McMeen and
May Oscar. We have at Sedro- Woolley Elizabeth Eggers; at Big Lake,
Wilhelmine Lewis; at Anacortes, Kathleen Mount; at Clinton, Viola Hopkins;
at East Stanwood, Anna Breum, and at Marysville Isabelle Williams doing
the work of two, in addition to teaching seventh grade also being
gymnasium teacher for the school. At Everett we find scattered through the
various buildings Grace Proctor, Mabel Foran, Alice Miller, Mabel French
and Eva Jurgensohn. Near there at Lowell Mary Pilz teaches the third
grade; at Mukilteo Gertrude Davidson has charge of the Domestic Science
work; and back in the beautiful mountain scenery of Granite Falls Nondus
Gaines still finds time for her basketball practice. Taking a great leap,
we next visit Seattle, discovering here engaged in city grade work Bessie
Lovell, Martha Everett, Carrie Dougherty, Ida and Florence Charroin and
many other former lights of the normal activities. Harry Heath, Charlotte
Davis, Lillie Morrison, Helen Kelly and Frank Peterson are upholding the
normal standards at the state uni- 239
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 240

versity. In the region about Seattle we find many, as, for ex-ample, Hilda
Musgrove at Richmond Beach. or Maimee Davis at Bremerton. At Port Orchard
we may visit with Charles Becker and his wife, who was Ethel Anderson. Or
we may visit, at Fos-ter, M. F. Odle, Commencement speaker and Senior
Class presi-dent, '15, still showing his leadership in coaching plays,
organiz-ing clubs and in all other lines of activities. We discover that
his wife is Inez Gibson, '13, and this leads to an interesting digres-sion.
Mrs. Odle is one of six brothers and sisters to attend this school. One
attended as a Junior, three graduated, one is gradu-ating this year and
the other will next year. Is this not a proud record for any family? We
are told that the oldest, Clayton Gib-son, '11, is at present principal of
the Ravenna school at Seattle, and that Ernest Gibson is teaching near
Olympia. But we must proceed. If we are to complete our lengthy trip we
must take longer flights and barely glance down at the world below. But
even a glance is sufficient to reveal to us a picture of Lew Greene
hob-nobbing with the fathers of our state at the capital. He is still a
pedagogue but with such favorable surroundings it is difficult to guess
what in the future he is to be. We discover in Olympia also Edda Quinby
and near there Claude Manly. As we pass we catch glimpses of Aida
Uddenberg at Tacoma; Eva White and Anna Brown at Buckley; Jessie Lieser
and Anne Brown, '15, at Woodland; Vasilla Gebaroff at Pe Ell, and Elida
Nordeen, president of the Y. XV. C. A. and associate editor of the
Klipsun, '15, at South Bend. Flashes of normal pins everywhere about
attract us, but we turn our backs on temptation and hie us over the
mountains. Perhaps at Wenatchee we chance upon an institute or a thim-ble
party at the home of Ethel Scheidemantle, Y. W. C. A. presi-dent, '13. If
so we find normal pins much in evidence and normal gossip the theme of
conversation. We find there many familiar faces, Genevieve Greynolds,
Grace Cooke, Vida Van Cleve and Eliza Thompson, very late of Bellingham.
They tell us that Muriel Murdock is at Chelan Falls, Pauline Paulsen at
Thelma, on Lake Wenatchee, Mabel Jackson and Fred Dees at Entait, and
Florence Canton and Laura Derringer are at Chelan. We would S very much
like to stop with Bertha Skartvedt, '15, at Pullman, or to be served with
pretzels at the home of Rudolph Knaaik, '14, and 240
----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 241

his wife, who was Ruth Derifield, at Spokane, but we must hie us on. At
Walla Walla are many attractions. We could visit at school with Mary
Keays, '14, or have a chat with Lillian Berney, '14, near Walla Walla; we
could gossip with Frances Hukill, '14, in the city, but Oregon calls us
on. At Jewell, Oregon, we visit with Georgia Barry, '13, and find her
good nature in no whit impaired by three years of teaching. She tells us
that many of our people are in Astoria, Nell Wilson, '13, Kathleen Barry,
Anna Montgomery and Esther Wyland, who in addition to her grade work
supervises the music in her build-ing. Surely Astoria feels the effect of
this strong contact with Bellingham. Now we come to the more interesting
part of our trip, one that unfortunately we can not take, for it leads us
over land and seas so far that we shrink with fear. For we would have to
visit with Carrie George in Juneau, Alaska; with Charles D. Jones at his
Indian school at Metlakahtla, also in Alaska; with Herman Merritt in the
Philippines, and others of our people in Hawaii. And also in the states
do our people lead us far. We have Marian Valentine, who has been a
superintendent of schools in Montana; Alfred Roos, at the Medical School
at Loma Linda in California; Grace Barnes, '13, graduating this year from
the Columbia School of Oratory in Chicago and preparing to do Chautauqua
lecture work during the coming summer. Elsie Ziese, '15, is at Columbia
University in New York. And did you know that Maude Drake, Olive Edens and
Minerva Lawrence, of this faculty, at present are at Columbia, all were
graduates of this normal school? Behold, even to these great heights may we
rise! But this review would not be complete without a mention of the many
who during the past few years have succumbed to the wiles of Cupid. And
they are legion. We can mention only a few. Novello Ziese is now Mrs.
Kilbeck, of Ottawa, Kansas; Elva Boucher is Mrs. Floyd Sirgensen, of
Harrington, Washington; Elizabeth Gaasland is Mrs. Le Gros, of Everett;
Nellie Forbes is Mrs. C. Nelson, of East Stanwood; Nell Salvon is Mrs. W.
Bristo, of Eugene, Oregon; Esther Franzen is Mrs. McCutcheon, of Adna,
and so on indefinitely. And even now about our country the wed-ding bells
are ringing, signifying the loss of yet more worthy vo-taries of the
teaching profession. Underclassmen, ye have heard and ye have seen. "Go
thou and do likewise." 241

----------
Klipsun, 1916 - Page 254
----------
254 The Senior Girls' Sneak One morning at the student's time, Miss
Goyne proposed a Senior climb Just for the girls of Class '16; Nobody else
must know, I ween. At last the date was really set, On April twenty-two
they met, At half past five, though cold and bleak, The Senior girls
would take their "sneak." 'Twas then they met at Elk and Holly, Eighty
strong, all gay and jolly. Eleven of the faculty Were there for
chaperons, you see. No man in sight who wore a star, They took possession
of a car, On many sports their minds were bent, And straightway for White
City went. While on their journey out that way They found there were two
teams to play. For basketball all were prepared, They shed their skirts
and no one cared,, For all had worn their bloomer suits And either
tennis shoes or boots. Now they had planned Toad Lake should be That
chilly morn their destiny. Two miles to walk through wet and bog, They
made it at a right good jog. They had been told a field they'd find;
'Twas full of holes of every kind. Some people it would sure disgust;
Believe me, they were not nonplussed. They chose their captains then and
there And for a game they did prepare. Baseball, it was the first event,
And at it with a will they went. For captains, Willoughby and Mead Were
master hands, all did concede. 'Tis said they fractured every rule Of
Annapolis and West Point school. Annapolis the game did win, Amid much
laughter, shout and din. By this time they were hungry girls, While o'er
the fire the smoKe wreath curls. Miss Ormsby boiled the eggs, you see
(This is the fact as told to me) Right with the coffee o'er the fire.
(Perhaps you think that I'm a liar) It was a shocking situation, She is
so strict on sanitation. Each girl a drinking cup had carried, And for
the coffee now they tarried. Then came the race for buns and bacon. H.
Beardsley wished some lunch she'd taken. Then while resting, breakfast
over, They really felt themselves in clover. Next came the program of the
day, For they had many games to play. At lifting weights they had a test,
And Nickerson won out the best. And then the races were begun; We were
assured 'twas jolly fun. And as a signal when to run The bravest fired
off the gun. And Captain Mead, though very tired, Made one grand jump
when It was fired. The races were of every kind; Leap frog is one I call
to mind. At basketball they had a bout; "West Point has won!" Miss Mead
did shout. Kannekkeberg won the one mile feat; E. Sherman at the half
mile beat; The quarter mile, H. Beardsley first; 'Twas said with pride
she nearly burst, Followed close by McCown and Gray, Both tired out, I
heard them say. At climbing cliffs Miss Myers tried. She won renown at
Toad Lake's side. Miss Bestor had the record fall, About three hundred
feet in all. Just scratched her watch, the story ran. You may believe it
if you can. And now among this jolly crowd A good photographer was
allowed. McCarthy many pictures took; Perhaps you'll find them in this
book. They kept strict count of all the games, The winners and their
captain's names, And when at last the sports were done The West Point
team the cup had won. But Willoughby got even for that; She put skunk
cabbage on Mead's hat. The jolly party, though stiff and lame, But quite
conceited, homeward came. And now who told me I'm not sayin', But for the
facts see Miss McMahan. -A. L. ROWE. Calendar

The Palmer Method School of Penmanship Sends Cordial Greetings to the
Washington State Normal School You can read! Tou can spell! Can you
WVRITE-a rapid, easy, clear-as-print, practical hand? If you cannot DO
THAT, if you do not KNOW HOW, yourself, you can never TEACH writing when
the occasion arises. Perhaps we can be of real service to YOU. The A. N.
Palmer Co. is the best equipped organization in the world for teaching the
teacher. \Ve train more than thirty thousand teachers a year, and we are
therefore doing more than all other agencies combined to reconstruct and
make reasonably good the writing of pupils in elementary schools. To any
Normal College student, who is going out to teach, a skillful training in
the mechanics and pedagogy of muscular-movement writing may prove to be a
valuable business asset. The Palmer Method Normal Course by Correspondence
is the medium by which the Palmer Method Plan is made just as available
for rural schools as for city schools, and equally accessible to students
who enroll in any quarter of the world. The instruction is so precise and
thorough and so specifically directed to the par-ticular needs of each
student, that failure is imposible if the directions are followed with
strict fidelity. The regular fee for the Complete Normal Course by
Correspond-ence is $10. One year is allowed in which to complete the
course. o The Course is offered free of charge to all teachers who adopt
the Palmer Method and provide their pupils with individual copies of the
PALMER METHOD OF BUSINESS WRITING for the third grade and above, or of
WRITING LESSONS FOR PRIMARY GRADES. These Palmer Method Manuals are
complete treatises of practical writing. The lessons are sequential,
providing for review and conducing to : rapid progress. A Resident Palmer
Method School, op en the year round, is maintained at 30 Irving Place, New
York City. This school affords special facilities for the training of
teachers who aspire to become Writing Supervisors. It also helps to place
its graduates in good positions. WTRITE US FOR PARTICULARS. WE ARE
LOOKING FOR EVERY OPPOR-TUNITY TO PROVE OUR EFFICIENCY. THE A. N. PALMER
